Chapter Twenty-Four: After the Truth
"It's true, what did that guy say really happened? I haven't earned enough...... I still want to meet that guy in reality......"
In the square, everyone has already left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, only Li Tong saw that there was an Agor huddled in the corner.
Li Tong came to Agore's side, and looked at Agore's fear of loneliness, and felt very distressed. He thinks that if he hadn't been before, even if he knew the truth now, she wouldn't be like this!
"Gor......" Li Tong wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know what words to use to comfort Agor at this time. It's not like before, using it to lie to her can make her feel a little more at ease.
With Akihiko Kayaba's explanations and a lot of real-life news evidence, there is no doubt that this game, like the real world, has only one life.
"Ahh Under Li Tong's soft voice, Agor was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream as if he had seen something terrifying.
"It's me! Agor! Plum...... Kirito. I'm Kirito! Li Tong held her slender shoulders and reminded Agor of them.
"Yes...... Is it Kirito? Ago's face was a little pale, and her voice was a little strange: "It turns out that you are like this in reality, and I want to wait for the day when I go to look for you, to see what you look like!" I didn't expect to be able to see it now, it's pretty good! ”
"Alas! Agor! Wake up! Agor! Li Tong found out at this time that Agor may have fallen into a state of confusion and confusion because of what happened just now.
“…… There is only one life...... To beat 100 levels...... You know, we didn't even see the boss of the first layer during the closed beta...... One Life...... That's not a dead end! ”
Lying in Li Tong's arms, Ago's voice was intermittent.
"Die to die, why after meeting you...... You're a jerk though, but ...... But for the first time, someone was really kind to me...... For the first time, I had a goal other than money...... But why ......?"
Agore's eyes were a little red at this time, and the words in his mouth were becoming more and more wrong. made Li Tong worry from the beginning to the current complex.
Agor, I may not be as good as you think...... Li Tong thought of Icarus and Nimfu, who were still on the 99th floor.
Without hearing Li Tong's heart, Agor continued to say word by word: "...... Kirito ...... It's all death anyway, and I have to know what it's like to like someone when I die...... Hmmm......"
Caught off guard, Agor was lying in Li Tong's arms, and suddenly leaned into Li Tong's mouth.
"Agor!? ......" Li Tong could only let out an exclamation, and then passively began to kiss Agor.
I'm really a beast! Li Tong looked at Agore's face, which had returned to reality. The sincerity of an innocent and pure girl, who already has two Icarus and Nimfu, is he really qualified to accept it?
Li Tong still couldn't get over his conscience, pulled Agore away, and looked at the bright red and tender lips, Li Tong was a little tempted.
"Nope! She's because of the current situation, and I can't take advantage of others. Li Tong shook his head, then looked at the somewhat sober Agore, and he pinched Agore's nose.
"Wake up! Agor! At this time, Li Tong seemed to see Agore's eyes move, and then closed them tightly. However, the increasingly crimson face made Li Tong seem to understand something.
He smiled secretly, pretending not to know.
"Agor! Wake up! Don't be afraid, trust me. I'm not going to let you have an accident, so I'll take care of this game! ”
Li Tong said this to Ago, who was still pretending to be asleep, and finally touched Agore's already hot face: "Don't worry! We'll definitely meet in reality, and when the time comes, I'll ...... Ah! ”
Agore, who couldn't stand it, jumped up, and then waited with his fists.
"What are you talking about? Say what...... Reality...... Meet ......," said Agore, grinning at first, and finally his voice was intermittent.
"Shhhh
Li Tong, who was covering his nose on the side, looked at Agore: "What are you doing?" When you wake up, you wake up, why hit me! ”
"Who...... Who told you to say those...... Those words! Deserve! Agore flashed his fist at Li Tong.
"What did I say? By the way, when did you wake up, I ......"
Looking at Li Tong's smile, Ago's pretty face turned red again: "I...... Of course I woke up while you were saying those words, yes...... Any questions? ”
can already be tsundere, which means that it is already good. Li Tong looked at Agor with an arrogant look and thought with peace of mind.
"Agor! Rest assured, I will protect you until the day when my strategy is successful in this World Cup! ”
Seeing the suddenly serious Li Tong say to him, Agore was a little moved, but complained in a low voice: "If the strategy is successful, won't you protect me?" Then I'd rather ......"
"What? What are you talking about, Agor? ”
Li Tong saw what Agore was muttering in his mouth, and he didn't hear it clearly.
"Ahh Not...... It's nothing! Then I'll be responsible for you from now on, don't be lazy! Without repeating the shameful words, Agor said with his back to Li Tong.
"Yes! Be! I'll be responsible for you! ”
"What is responsible for me! It's like something happened to me and you! It seemed that because of Li Tong's words, Agore remembered her embarrassing behavior, and she yelled at Li Tong angrily.
"Yes! Be! It's already so dark, aren't you hungry? Even if it's for satiety, we have to eat in this game! ”
"Eat it! But you're in for a treat! ”
"You little money fan!"
"What do you know......"
Li Tong and Agore, who came to the street, were shocked by the scene in front of them.
One by one, players in despair are in despair on the streets. They were like Agore just now, babbling something in their mouths.
"What's wrong with them?" Agor looked at the scene in front of him.
"Aren't they the way you looked like you just now?" Li Tong's face became slightly solemn. Sure enough, many people can't accept this truth?
Walking through the decadent players on both sides of the street, they hear the words from the mouths of those players.
"I'm going home!"
"How to play? Only one life? ”
……
"Selfish cheaters! Grab all the resources! What do you want us ordinary players to do? ”
A sharp-mouthed player said this, apparently he saw Li Tong and Agor walking over, especially the shining wolf king's claw in Agore's hand. Because he was in the safe zone of the starting place, he didn't do anything excessive, but the cannibalistic hatred of his eyes kept staring at the two of them.
"Ignore him, Agor! He was afraid of death and didn't work hard, but blamed the closed beta players for stealing his resources. Closed beta players don't just have one life, they are more just experience, but if you do nothing like this person, no matter how experienced you are, it's useless! ”
Finding that Ago's face had become ugly because of the player's words, Li Tong held her hand and comforted.
Agor didn't speak, and Ren led her into the restaurant in the center of the street.
At this time, Li Tong and their actions seemed to have turned on some switch, and the players in the center of the street looked at Li Tong and Agor who entered the restaurant with hatred.
"The ...... of the Abominable Cheaters"
"It's because of these cheaters ......"
"They should hand over everything they have on them and apologize to us ordinary players!"
……
Feel the piercing gaze behind you, and the ugly words. Li Tong felt sad in his heart, a group of people whose spirits had been distorted.
After entering the restaurant, the ears of the two fell silent. Because nowadays the general player does not have the courage to go out and fight, because once you die, you are really dead. As a result, players don't have the money to eat in the restaurant, and those who do have already traveled to Torbana, the central town on the first floor. Therefore, there are only two people in the restaurant now, Li Tong and Agor.
ordered two dinners from the NPC, and Li Tong took Agore, who was still in a daze, to sit at the two-person table inside.
"Agor! Don't pay attention to their words, just a wretched bunch! Li Tong put one of the two dinners brought by the NPC in front of Agore, "Eat it!" After eating, we will go to the hotel for a night's rest and then go to Torbana tomorrow. It's up to you then.,After finding out the location of the boss.,I'm going to solve it.,So that we can succeed in the strategy soon.。 ”
"Kirito, if I said I wanted to help them, would you join me?" Agor, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked Li Tong.
The action of eating stopped, and Li Tong looked at Agore seriously: "Are you sure?" ”
"Well, I'm sure! You can't just ignore them, I'll ......" Agor looked at Li Tong's gaze a little nervously, she was afraid that Li Tong would reject her.
However, Li Tong forked a piece of beef and stuffed it into Agore's small mouth, "Eat it!" After eating, tell me how you want to help those nasty guys! ”
"Hmm~Hmm~" Ago's face was a little surprised, and his heart was a little sweet, and he said something in his mouth, but because of the presence of beef, it was a sound in Li Tong's ears.
"Hah! Thank you, Kirito! You should have been resting in a hotel in Torbana right now, but now it's because I'm ......."
"Eat well, don't talk about those meaningless!" Li Tong was a fork of beef again, and Agor hurriedly buried his head and ate his meal. However, it can be seen from her occasional humming that she is happy.
……
In a mysterious space, a man in a white trench coat and glasses frowned at the red warning that appeared on a dark blue light screen in front of him.
"Two unknown lifeforms appeared on the 99th floor? Is it a virus? Either way, we can't let this ruin the world that is about to become real! ”
With his hands striking, he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the red warning in the center be trapped by a white ball of light.
"This way I can safely observe the actions of those who have become the first to experience my world, and of course I will enjoy the world I have created."
As soon as the words fell, the person's figure suddenly blurred into another form, and disappeared into this space.
At this time, Icarus and Nimfu, who were on the 99th floor. Icarus was staring blankly at a stall selling watermelons in the town's street market, stroking them with his slender hands. And the NPC aunt who sells watermelons seems to not see Icarus, and the one who is next to him is still selling. Nimfu, on the other hand, used her hacking skills to hack into the cold drink stall and secretly took several large cups of ice cream, just as she licked the ice cream and prepared to bring some back to Icarus.
Suddenly, a strange blue light enveloped them. Just as they were a little flustered and remembered their master, the blue light disappeared, but they appeared in a strange church at this time.
"What's going on?" Strange, Nimfu looked around and saw that the church was empty except for Icarus and herself. Nimfu felt something strange about this place, and why were they here? So anyway, she decided to leave this strange place with Icarus first. But-
"Bump!"
"Damn, it hurts! Icarus! You Pandora evolved, try it with Apollo! As if hitting something, Nimfu let out a cry of pain. A somewhat angry Nimfu suggested.
"Hmmm! Nimfu! Icarus responded by completing the evolution of Pandora, and she opened Apollo towards the church door while deploying her absolute defense.
"Wait!" A third voice appeared besides Icarus and Nimfu, who snorted to see who had brought them here and what had been used to seal the place. Hurt her...... Hum! Hum!
At this time, from the outside world, in the central town on the 99th floor of SAO, a magnificent church appeared near the teleportation array out of thin air, and was shrouded in a semicircular light curtain that appeared from time to time.
In the church in the light curtain, Icarus and Nimfu were looking strangely at the petite figure that came out from behind the statue of Jesus.
