After sending Yurco back to the hotel, giving him food and water for a few days, and telling him not to come out, the three of them were a little overwhelmed.

What's next?

"The next plan is three, one of which is to find clues in the middle and ask if anyone knows Grimlock's name and where he lives. Second, visit the other members of the Golden Apple to confirm what Yurco has to say. Three...... It is to renegotiate the method of killing Kinez. Ye Chi looked at the sky and said slowly. The first one can be removed, three people are too stupid to do this, the second one is ruled out because everyone is suspicious, and the last one is ...... I can't get my hopes up, but I have to try. ”

"First of all, we can be sure of one thing, that is, after the penetrating injury enters the circle, it will not continue to lose blood, which is what I have verified." Ye Chi first put forward a point.

"How did you verify it?"

"On the fourth floor, I was pierced through the left shoulder by the fishman, but I killed it, and the trident forgot to pull it out, because there are two more steps to the safe zone......"

“…… I remember...... You walk around the maze with a trident on your head, but you don't know it! Asuna suddenly realized.

"Please don't say it, it's embarrassing......"

"Be serious...... The conjecture is that in this technique, penetrating damage is necessary, or at least penetrating damage. ”

"I don't know if you've noticed...... The weapon of the Shurmit is also a gun...... With his skill level, is it possible to make the breakthrough injury die after more than ten seconds? Possibly, right? Ye Chi suddenly raised such suspicions.

"Against," Kirito retorted, "If this is the case, as long as you are a swordsman who is stronger than Kainz, you can do it, as long as you reduce your HP to a certain level." ”

"Why don't you ......," said Asuna, hesitantly, "let the two of them meet?" ”

"Oh? What a great idea...... Confronted in person? ”

"But the question is how to drag him out of the castle of the DDA......"

The Holy Dragon United, a while ago, a union stronghold was ceremoniously set up on the fifty-sixth floor, and it was on the upper floor of the fifty-fifth floor of the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights, this is definitely not an accident - Asuna once told Ye Chi with resentment.

The area of the building that is registered as a guild base is basically only accessible to members. It is the same as the player's house. Therefore, there was no need for guards, but most guilds with a lot of people would be assigned in shifts not so much as guards as people who conveyed information to visitors.

The Holy Dragon Union was no exception, and beside the ornate city gate, two hoplite warriors were pestled like door gods, holding a heavy spear like a pillar...... It feels quite imposing, but it's just an ornament for the ceremony.

It's just a porter who hangs like this......

But that impression disappeared when Asuna stepped up to say hello......

The two guards looked eager to kneel and lick......

Men are truly pathetic creatures...... Ye Chi increasingly agreed with this......

I don't know what method was used, but Shurmit, who had retracted himself into a snail shell, finally came out...... The look of the dish feels like Asuna's plan is very unpleasant......

Among SAO players, he is also a rare sports strong man, and when he walked down the ramp into the street, he finally stopped, his armor made a curry sound, and turned to them to ask.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Huh?"

Ye Chi instantly realized that this should be related to Asuna's excuse for calling him out, and subconsciously looked at Asuna.

“…… Heard it from an old member of the guild 'Golden Apple'. Asuna replied calmly and prudently.

Hearing this, the thick eyebrows under the short pointed hair twitched.

"What's the name?"

At this moment, Ye Chi suddenly locked his eyes - it was still quite difficult for SAO to hide his thoughts...... But it looks like I really don't know......

If it's a real prisoner, it doesn't make sense......

Unless this thing can really fool Ye Chi's eyes.

"Miss Yurko,"

After answering, the strong man moved his gaze upwards as if relieved for a moment, and exhaled a long breath.

There's no need for relaxation...... Is it because you are worried that someone will frame you? Knowing that it was Yurko, who was also opposed, he breathed a sigh of relief...... Is it?

Along the way, several people had ghosts in their hearts, and Shurmit was protected in the middle, and Ye Chi and the three of them surrounded him in a triangle, and there was no room to speak.

When the group of four exited the transfer door of Martin, the 57th-story main block, the street was already shrouded in the setting sun.

The square is full of open-air shops of NPCs and merchant players, and there is a lively and loud shouting everywhere, and groups of swordsmen can be seen everywhere to cure the fatigue of the day, but somewhere in the square, it is regarded as a terrifying space by everyone, and no one wants to go there.

It's near the small church.

That is, the scene of the death of the hoplite Kainz......

A few people...... To be precise, Ye Chi deliberately brought the team to this side......

"This is it—" Ye Chi pointed to the chapel with his index finger and did not speak.

Arrived at Yurko's inn - because it was too dangerous to let her out, and it was clear that Shurmit was a man and looked more combative......

"I'm Asuna." Asuna stepped forward and called for the door.

It wasn't long before a faint response was heard, and the door opened—opened by Asuna.

On the front of the open door, in the corner of the sofa in the center of the room, Yurco sits. Immediately, she stood up and bowed gently to them with her wavy hair.

Ye Chi took turns looking at Youerke's stiff face and Xiumitt, who showed the same expression, and said:

"That...... First of all, for the sake of safety, I want to make sure that neither of you can equip weapons, and the system window cannot be opened, so please be sure to comply with these two things, although you may feel uncomfortable, but it is still troublesome. ”

“…… Good. ”

"I see."

Yurco's thin voice, and Humett's unhappy voice replied at the same time. Then, he led Humit slowly into the room.

It should have been a long time since they met, and the two former members of the "Golden Apple" looked at each other in silence for a while.

In the past, although Yuerke and Xiumit were in the same guild, the difference in rank is now more than twenty levels. But in the eyes of several people, Schumit looked more nervous.

In fact, it was Yurco who spoke first.

“…… Long time no see, Xiumit"

With a thin smile on his face, he bit his lip tightly and replied in a hoarse voice.

“…… Well, I thought we would never see each other again, can I sit down? ”

Seeing Yurco nodding and the heavy plate made a curry sound, Humit walked over to the couch and sat down across from her. Although he felt that it was crowded, he had no intention of taking it off.

This guy ...... Seems to be more timid than Yurko......

The three of them exchanged glances, Ye Chi leaned against the door, Asuna and Kirito each occupied a corner, it can be said that no matter who makes the move...... Even the Holy Sword Heathcliff - the current head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the second and strongest user of special skills - could not have made it out alive.

On the 25th floor, where Ye Chi did not participate, it is said that he resisted the boss naked for 20 minutes, and it is the canned type that assassins hate the most...... The most important thing is this guy...... It's a flexible and barbed can......

It's just open...... In contrast, Ye Chi, who is also the owner of special skills, has faded out of the eyes of players.

The noise of the streets drifted in the wind, but was drowned out by the slow words of Yurko.

"Shumitt, you're in the Holy Dragon Union now. It's really amazing.,Even in the strategy group, it's the top-notch.。 ”

Although he thought it was a straightforward compliment, a stern look appeared between his eyebrows, and he replied in a low voice:

"What do you mean. Is it trying to say, unnatural? ”

Hey, dude, you're vain, huh?

"How is it possible, I think it must have been after the dissolution of the guild, very hard. This is something that both Kainz and I gave up, and you're really good. ”

Slightly brushing away the dark blue hair that hung on his shoulders and smiling again.

Although there is no way to compare it with the heavy armor-wearing Xiumitt, but there are quite a lot of clothes for Yuerko tonight. The thick dress was covered with a tight leather bodice, a velvet tunic and a shawl over the shoulders. Although there is no metal armor, wearing it like this will also give you a high defense bonus. Although she was calm on the surface, she was really uneasy.

And Xiumitt, who didn't hide his nervousness at all, let out a curry sound in his armor and stood up.

"I'm doing well! Importantly...... What I want to ask is about Cainz."

Turned into an extremely suppressed voice, continued.

"Why is Kinens being killed now!? The guy ...... Is it the one who snatched the ring? Is he the one who killed President GA!? ”

CALL PRESIDENT GA (GOLDENAPPLE...... I don't know what the situation is, at least Ye Chi will call him by name in this case......

This line is tantamount to Schumit's claim that he has nothing to do with the ring incident and the murder in the circle. If this is acting, then it is really high - Ye Chi was born in a military family, and his father was born in an internal security guard, and he has a lot of experience in judging the authenticity of simple words and colors, and he can hide it from him - now it is all in Hollywood......

Hearing this whispered shout, Yuerko's expression changed for the first time. The smile vanished, and he looked at Schumit head-on.

"There is no such thing, whether it is me or Kainz, they all respect the president very much, and they oppose selling the ring because it is more effective to use it to enrich the guild than to spend the money indiscriminately, in fact, the president should want to do the same."

"That...... I think the same way, don't forget, I'm also against selling the ring, and it's not just the opposition who have the motive to snatch the ring. Selling pies, that is, guys who want money, there may also be people who want to monopolize! ”

Shumit slapped his right hand, which was covered with iron gloves, on his knee and lifted his head.

"But it ...... Why did Grimlock only ...... Kainz now? Do you want to kill all the members of the opposition? Are you and I being targeted too!? ”

Are you so sure it's him? Ye Chi muttered in his heart......

The side face of Xiumitt, who clenched his teeth, was clearly engraved with fear. Looking at the frightened Xiumitt, Yuerko, who had calmed down again, slowly said to him:

"It hasn't been determined that Grimlock killed Cainz, or maybe it was someone who asked him to shoot him, maybe ......"

The empty gaze fell on the low table in front of the sofa and whispered.

"Could it be the president's own revenge? Isn't it impossible for ordinary players to do such a thing as killing people in the circle? ”

"What......"

Xiu Mi's mouth opened and closed, and Ye Chi also shivered slightly, unable to deny this possibility.

Looking blankly at the smiling Yurko, Shurmit said:

"Didn't you just say that it was impossible for Cainz to snatch ......the ring?"

Without an immediate answer, Yurco stood up lightly and took a step to the right.

With his hands clasped behind his waist, he slowly walked towards the window on the south side. With the slight sound of shoes in the room, a soft voice came.

Something was wrong—Ye Chi felt a sense of disobedience—but he didn't know where...... I always feel that this movement is not very natural......

"Last night, I didn't sleep all night, thinking about this. In the end, the one who killed the guild leader was someone who was a member of the guild, and it was all of us at the same time. When the ring drops, don't vote, but leave it to the president. The president is not only a swordsman, but also the most powerful member, and she is also the most able to make use of the ring ability. But none of us can give up our own selfish desires, so no one has made this offer. I keep saying that one day I want to make GA a strategy group.,But it's not actually for the guild.,It's just to make yourself stronger.。 ”

After saying this long sentence, Yuerko leaned against the window edge on the south side, and added another sentence.

"Only one man, Mr. Grimlock, said to leave the decision to the president. Only this person has the right to take revenge on all of us, and of course, the president himself is also ......"

In the silence, only the cold evening breeze blew in the room.

Soon, a small metallic sound was heard in the clicker. The source is the metal armor that covers the whole body of the slightly vibrating Xiumit. The top player who has been in a hundred battles has a pale face and whispers like a dream.

“…………… No kidding, no kidding, until now...... It's been half a year, why is it only ...... now"

Suddenly straightened up his upper body and screamed.

"Don't you think that's good? I've worked hard to live until now, but I'm going to be killed by this kind of inexplicable method, do you think it's okay!? ”

Shumitt, I and Asuna's eyes all looked at Yurco by the window.

The female player, with a slightly dreamlike vibe, looked into the air and wandered for a moment, as if looking for something to say.

It didn't take long for the lip flap to move slightly, and just as he was about to say something-

Boom, a muffled sound echoed through the room, and Yurko's eyes and mouth opened widely. Then, the slender body shook, took a step like a puppet with a broken thread, and turned to prop his hand on the edge of the window.

At this moment, a strong wind struck, blowing the hair that hung down on Yuer's back.

Ye Chi suddenly saw something that shouldn't have been there-

A throwing knife! Or do you have to call it a throwing knife...... In short, it was a similar sharp weapon, which pierced through the center of Yurko's back, and it was emitting a bright red light like blood.

The body swayed back and forth, falling towards the window.

"Ah......h

Asuna let out a grief-like gasp. At the same time, Ye Chibiao, who was the fastest among several people, shot out and stretched out his hand to pull Yuerke's back. But.

His fingertips touched only a small end of the shawl, and Yurco fell silently from the outer room.

"Yurko!!"

Ye Chi leaned out of the window, ignoring the second flying knife that might be issued, and looked down.

Falling on the stone bricks below, Yurko's body bouncing up was covered in blue light.

Slurp, accompanied by a small cracking sound. The fragments of the polygon, with the blue light released by the explosion, spread out in all directions—

A second later, there was a sound of dryness, and only the pitch-black dagger landed on the pavement.

How can it be!!

How can a mere throwing knife shoot a person directly! A medium player!

And how could throwing knives fly in!

The rooms of the hotel are protected by the system. Even if the windows were open, it would be impossible to invade the interior of the room or throw anything in.

When pigs fly. This is no longer something that can be described as "PK in the circle", but a terrifying instant attack.

Ye Chi's eyes locked on the figure on the roof two streets away—the figure in black standing alone against the background of the dark purple sunset—

The pitch-black cloak enveloped the whole body, and it was impossible to see the face, it was not an assassin's robe—Ye Chi was the first to determine this.

"Death to the bastard!"

Stepping on the edge of the window with his right foot, Ye Chi shouted again without looking back.

"Asuna, I'll leave it to you later!!"

With that, he jumped towards the roof across the street.

He jumped more than 5 meters without running, and even with the correction of strength and agility and the effect of the Miracle Walker, he couldn't help but stumble when he landed, but it didn't hinder his movements, and just as he was about to go wild, Asuna's urgent voice came from behind him.

"No! Come back! ”

Ye Chi understood her reasons, but Ye Chi also had his own reasons for acting.

If he was stabbed by that throwing dagger, Ye Chi might also be killed with one hit, but Ye Chi had the confidence not to be hit - even if that kind of thing was shot, it might not be able to penetrate his breastplate!

And...... Play Assassination in front of the Assassins...... Show amateur skills in front of an expert!

What's more, he foolishly thought that as long as he watched the door, he would be fine...... Stupid!

Just two streets...... With Ye Chi's speed, the extreme speed is more than a second, but it may be slightly longer now......

And the assassin in the full-coverage cloak had no intention of escaping, or attacking, just stood there leisurely, looking at Ye Chi who was approaching quickly. There were only two buildings between the two sides, when suddenly his right hand moved, reaching into the cloak.

Ye Chi leaned down and began to calculate the possible attack trajectory.

But.

The hand that was drawn was not holding a dagger for throwing. Rather, at the bottom of the pitch-black labyrinth, the very familiar, releasing a sapphire luster—transfer crystals.

"Damn!"

Ye Chi threw out the hook suddenly, trying to interrupt.

However, it was too late, and the moment it came into contact with the cloak, the anchor was blocked by the purple barrier and fell to the roof.

The black-robed assassin passed away in a familiar light......

Wait...... This is familiar......

That's right...... It's familiar, and it's used every day...... But...... Outside the labyrinth...... Where have you seen it? ———————————————————————— more people in the book review area...... Don't keep playing stand-alone......
