Chapter 720: Awakening

"When I knew that the full stealth environment system was open - no, I should say since much earlier, I lived to create that city, that world with all the frameworks and regulations of the real world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And at the last moment, I saw something that could transcend the laws of the world that I had created......"

"We have been dreaming a lot since we were young, right? I don't remember how old I was when I was entangled in the fantasy of this floating castle in the sky...... That imaginary situation, no matter how much time has passed, remains vividly in my mind. As I get older, the images become more realistic and expanded. Fly up from the ground and go straight to that castle...... For a long time, that was my only wish. ”

"Listen to me, Nightshade. I still believe that there really is a castle in some world......"

Quietly listening to Kayaba's narration, Nightshade didn't express anger or any other emotion.

If it had been before he had crossed over, he might have been dissatisfied with Kayaba Akihiko's behavior of treating human life like a mustard.

But after becoming Shura, after his hands were stained with blood, Nightshade didn't care about these things for a long time.

In Nightshade's opinion, what Akihiko Kayaba did was not excessive.

Nightshade thought so, but Akihiko Kayaba felt a little surprised.

"Nightshade Monarch...... Aren't you angry at what I've done? ”

"Why be angry?"

Nightshade looked at Ayn Grant, who had already collapsed halfway, and said flatly.

"It's a good game, it's fun, why should I be angry?"

Kayaba Akihiko was stunned. Then he smiled softly again.

"Very ...... Meaning? ”

"That's good, that's good."

Coming to Nightshade's side, Kayaba Kizuhiko stretched out his right hand to him.

With his palm upward, a golden ball of light floated on it.

"This is the Seed of the World (Theseed), Nightfall, I entrust him to you, sooner or later, I believe we will meet again."

After saying this, Akihiko Kayaba's body turned into pieces and completely disappeared in front of the night dead.

――――――――――――――

Today is a day that is not peaceful......

If someone is in the hospital at this time, or not far from the hospital, then they will find that the hospitals around them are not as lively as the vegetable market.

The noise continued to rise in all corners of the hospital, almost did not lift the ceiling, noise, shouting, footsteps, crying, all kinds of sounds mixed together, resounding all over the area of 100 meters around each hospital, you can imagine what these hospitals are like today!

Those who passed by and lived near the hospital looked curiously in the direction of the hospital, as if they were wondering what was going on inside, while the people who happened to be in the hospital began to run around, looking for people who knew about it, trying to find out the reason from their mouths.

When they learned about the beginning of the incident from the mouths of others, they immediately became part of the noise, which made the lively atmosphere of those hospitals go to the next level.

Just now, in every hospital, the victims who were trapped in the game of 'SAO', who survived and were being treated, woke up!

Three years ago, 10,000 'SAO' gamers were trapped in the 'SAO' game world, which has become a well-known terrorist crime in the country, and if they die in the game, these victims in the real world will also die, and now, the only remaining 6,000 players have finally woken up today!

This is already a big event that is enough to cause a sensation among countless people across the country!

The 'SAO' player, who occupies a lot of hospital beds, has been lying down for three years, and has also received three years of treatment, saying that it is a treatment, but in fact, it should be said that it is just hanging his life there by some nutrient delivery devices, and he may die at any time, such an example has not happened in the past three years.

Some parents, hospital doctors, and higher-ups are even ready for everyone to die, because they can't know everything from the outside, and after three years of precipitation, they have long regarded the sudden death of the 'SAO' player as 'commonplace'.

However, it happened so suddenly, and when they were mentally prepared, the miracle that they had not hoped for finally happened today!

At this point, almost all the doctors in every hospital were dispatched, walking up and down the corridors, hurrying to the wards where the awakened players were reuniting with their families and waiting for the doctor to come and check them out.

All of a sudden, the sounds of joy and crying resounded throughout the entire space in the hospitals and wards where the victims of 'SAO' were housed, and everyone involved was enjoying the hard-won aftermath and reunion, making the surroundings full of joy.

However, in this joy, there are still some people, after getting the news, rushed to their families, anxiously waiting for them to wake up, but what they waited for was the dead silence of the players who had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time, without any signs of moving......

About 300 players, when others were immersed in laughter and the joy of reunion, were like dead corpses, and they didn't wake up at all!

And among these 300 players, Yuki Akira - Asuna is one of them.

――――――――――――――

On the outskirts of the city, there is an abandoned apartment......

More precisely, an abandoned apartment that is no different from a haunted house.

Nightshade opened her eyes softly, revealing a white ceiling.

"Hmm...... Is this the real world of Sword Art Online? ”

Sitting up with his body propped up, Nightshade took off the helmet from his head.

Looking around, there is a dilapidated bedroom.

The floor was thick with dust, and beneath him was a somewhat rotten wooden bed, and the walls were cracked in many places, and the whole room was filled with a pungent rancid stench.

"I'm going to wipe it, you're too cost-effective on the system, aren't you? Can't you change Lao Tzu to a better environment? ”

Nightshade felt that he was about to be smoked, and quickly shook his body, and the murderous aura rolled up a hurricane that blew away the dust and rotten furniture in the house, as well as the entire wall.

With the cool breeze blowing into the house, Nightshade felt much more comfortable.

"Forget it, go take a shower and change your clothes, and then go find Asuna and Kiriko."
