Chapter 9: Kiritani and the People (I)
"The results of the verification of the property...... Congratulations, Lady Olivia, the total amount of property held by the other party is lower than the other party's offer, and you have successfully purchased the lot. ”
Very good...... As I expected, it was successfully won. And...... Now that Kirito and Asuna have managed to snatch an invitation, it's not hard to come up with one thing.
The people who were projected were not Kazuto Kiritani and Asuna Yuuki, but Kirito and Asuna. Think about it this way...... Since it's Kirito and Asuna, then, the combat effectiveness of these two people can be imagined.
It must be far beyond the average person. Fifteen million, buy such a powerful combat power plus buy one get one free, this deal is definitely not a loss.
As for the specifics, I'll talk about it then...... As long as the other party is not the first time he has come into contact with the concept of Black Claw, at least he still has a way to make Kirito and Asuna understand Overwatch. As for the projections who chose Blackclaw in the first place......
Zhou Yuan can't do anything about it, that kind of person is estimated to be the lord of one of the seven forbidden lands, Leluxiu. V. Britain can be forcibly corrected by its ability.
But that's cheating.
"Anyway, Mai Trin, you should pay more attention...... I'm too sleepy, let's sleep for a while. ”
Zhou Yuan's spirit has reached its limit, to be honest. Not long after saying this, Zhou Yuan fell asleep directly on the table.
And then...... When Kirito walked into the bodyguard room, he saw Reinhardt sitting in place with his eyes still open but already snoring, and Zhou Yuan lying on the table with saliva flowing down the table.
"Hey, hey...... Hey, wake up! Mrs. Olivia told me to come to you...... Wake up!"
Kirito vigorously shook Zhou Yuan, who was sleeping on the table.
"Cut, we withdraw, we can't win this time...... What's wrong...... This is the auction venue, right?"
After Zhou Yuan was woken up by Kirito, it was obvious that his IQ had not yet been online, and he looked at Kirito with a dull expression.
"Is it the auction venue that you actually asked me...... This is the auction venue, and Madame Olivia told me to come to you!"
Zhou Yuan was shouted by Kirito, and only then did he sober up a little.
"Oh yes, this is the auction venue...... That, it was Madame Olivia who asked me to come to you, right? When we first met, my name was Zhou Yuan, and I was Miss Mary's personal bodyguard. If nothing else, we will be colleagues in the future. ”
“…… How do you know?"
Kirito looked at Zhou Yuan with a confused expression.
"Well...... Ahem, you don't need to know this," only then did he realize that his IQ had not yet been completed, and Zhou Yuan, who accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth, scratched his head in embarrassment, "I know so much more...... I also know that your name is Kazuto Kiritani, and the person who is with you is called Asuna Yuuki, that is, Asuna. And then...... Look at your costume is a black swordsman, there are no elf ears, and it is obvious that it is not Kiriko...... In other words, you are projecting from a virtual reality game whose initials are SAO, and am I right or not?"
“……”
Kirito looked at Zhou Yuan with a look of astonishment.
"I'll tell you the secret slowly when you get to work, but not now. The current word...... Our wife bought your personal freedom for a year, that is, the obligation to be a bodyguard for our wife. You're not going to be on the wrong side of the job, are you?"
"Of course not. However, my responsibility is limited to her personal safety, and nothing else. ”
Kirito replied.
"Okay, okay...... It looks like you've gotten past the confusion of the projection that was initially projected into the world. So, you probably know all about projection, right?"
Zhou Yuan spread his hands and asked.
"Nature...... Isn't it just that Asuna and I are both copies, not Kirito and Asuna? I don't want to bother or think about it, and you don't have to ask. ”
Kirito snorted disdainfully.
Zhou Yuan was happy in his heart, and there was a play.
"No, no, no...... The other projections may be fake replicas, but only the two of you are not. Because...... The two of you have encountered something more peculiar. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen anything like this......"
It wasn't Kazuto Kiritani or Assuna Yuuki who were transferred, but Kirito and Asuna. According to the principle, even if it is a projection, the character who is projected should be Kiritani and Ren, who are lying in place and unable to move......
However, the characters in the game are projected into the real world, which is very problematic. It stands to reason that the projection phenomenon should be an unstable docking between the world and the world? This is something that Winston talked about in class, and Zhou Yuan still remembers it clearly. Obviously, although SAO itself has a very high level of intelligent AI, a variety of black technology programs such as automatic generation of task systems, and the technology tree seems to be a bit strange, but SAO itself still relies on physical servers, and human players can only run things like staying in the real world. In other words, no matter how you look at it, SAO shouldn't be an independent world, and the two game characters, Kirita and Asuna, have lost their servers in the real world, and they can't become an individual independently after relying on the two in reality.
In other words, even if SAO is an independent world, and the projected characters have lost the connection with the two people in the real world, it is impossible to speak and move as they do now.
But that's what happened. Zhou Yuan always felt that this matter was not so simple, and it seemed to indicate that something was coming...... But Zhou Yuan really couldn't figure out what this abnormal projection meant.
Forget it, now let's deal with the person in front of you.
"You're Kirito, she's Asuna. The two of you are undoubtedly in the real world, and the two of you who have lost the SAO system have become new individuals with new bodies and souls. ”
Kirito was silent for a full minute. Subsequently, Kirito's face finally returned to the sunny smile that Zhou Yuan had only seen in the anime before.
"Taught...... Anyway, thank you, Zhou Yuan. We're colleagues after that, right? What do I need to do?"
Then, Zhou Yuan's expression also became serious.
"I, and we need you...... And Asuna's help. ”
