Asuna looked at the sky in the doorway, her eyes curved into crescents, her lips pursed into a beautiful arc, revealing some crystal white teeth, and laughed silently.

That smile was the first time I'd seen it.

Although many times after the success of the boss strategy battle, I have never seen Asuna show such a smile, thinking about it on the edge of life and death, I am afraid that there is only the happiness of the rest of my life, how can I have such a pure smile.

So, Xiangkong also smiled, looked at Asuna who was so happy, and smiled slightly.

Perhaps at this moment, Asuna has broken through the barrier, and even if she leaves here and loses the barrier, she can face it on her own.

Everyone in the boss room was smiling, and what was hidden behind that heartfelt smile was no longer important, just like that girl, her eyes flashed with crystal, but no one knew that it was joy and sadness.

I did what I wanted to do, so I came to the end, and the end was separation.

She looked at everyone, very reluctant, sad at the same time, but full of greater joy, so complicated.

The rest of the Sleeping Knights were overwhelmed with emotion, and had no interest in the large number of rewards they had received, and had already begun to discuss a celebration party.

"Wait, let's go to the Swordsman Monument first to take pictures." After calming down his complicated feelings, Yuki said seriously.

"yes, that's important!" The immature teenager Ah Chun patted his head and said with a smile.

Yes, that's very important.

The moment of taking a photo is the basis for inscribed time.

Yuki looked at Asuna, who was smiling happily, and the sparkle in her eyes slowly disappeared, leaving a flood of joy.

After leaving the boss room, the group went straight to the Swordsman Monument.

At this moment, no one has noticed the incredible scene on the swordsman's stele.

A squad raided the boss.

As helpers, Shoku and Kirito were fortunate enough to be invited. Of course, two photos should be taken.

One is a group photo of all the members of the Sleeping Knights, and the other is a group photo of Shoku and Kirito joining Shoku.

After everyone posed and showed the most beautiful smile, with the click sound from the system, this scene was truly preserved.

After the photo. Yuki couldn't wait to take out the photo and check it carefully, looking at the voices of everyone on it, thinking that she might have to leave soon, nostalgia and reluctance were like a bomb that had been stored for a long time, suddenly exploded, and before she could react, tears poured out like a burst, she stared at the photo in a daze, tears slid down her face. Dripping to the ground.

"Yuki?" Asuna, who noticed this scene, looked at Yuki suspiciously, while the others slowly restrained their smiles and began to fall silent.

"I'm fine." Yuki reached out to wipe away her tears, but the more she wiped them, the more they fell, she smirked and said, "Strange, how... How can't you stop. ”

said. But he couldn't even keep a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry."

She apologized suddenly, and her body turned into a burst of white light. It has been taken offline.

Asuna stood there at a loss, staring at the place where Yuki went offline, not understanding what was going on.

June walked over and stopped talking.

Asuna looked at her and asked seriously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

June opened her mouth, but after a moment she still didn't say anything. Just shook his head.

"Let's do it today, the time of the celebration party will be determined next time." Xiao Ji, who rarely spoke, suddenly spoke, looking excited, and went offline like Youji after speaking.

The same is true for others. No one wanted to mention this matter, because they themselves were also facing the same situation as Yuki, but Yuki was a little stricter.

After saying goodbye to Asuna one by one, he went offline directly.

June was the last, and she said to Asuna, "Don't mind, you'll understand." ”

Except for Asuna, the Sleeping Knights are all offline.

Even Asuna, who had already integrated into the guild, didn't understand what was going on, and Kirito, as an outsider, was even more confused, so he could only look calm.

"I thought I knew them well enough and thought I was already part of them, but at the end of the day, I probably didn't know anything, or even an outsider." Asuna said in a daze, very sad, although the time spent together was not long, but she liked everyone in the guild very much, and she liked Yuki even more.

Xiangkong patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, Yuki... will come. ”

Asuna looked at him and was silent.

It was supposed to be a celebration party, but it broke up.

Returning to the small building by the lake, he sat on the chaise longue on the corridor, looking at the clear lake and was silent, and even snuggled up to him and sat down after Argo returned, but it didn't bring his thoughts back.

"What's wrong?" Argo, who noticed the abnormality, directly used violent means to pull Xiangkong back.

Xiangkong touched the soft flesh between his ribs, and after smiling bitterly, he told Argo everything, including what he wanted to do, which might involve their safety.

After hearing this, Argo held his hand tightly and smiled: "Do whatever you want, isn't this what you have always been the rule of conduct?" ”

Any hesitation, any concern, any hardship, all melted into a bubble under Argo's fluttering words of approval.

He directly stretched out his arm, pulled Argo into his arms, and whispered, "Suddenly I want a child." ”

Argo blushed and slapped him hard, but the latter didn't say a word, just watched the lake be silent.

Algo couldn't help but be silent.

They may have eternal life and freedom more than anyone else, but they have also lost something important.

It was a space, a dark space, like a room with the lights off, and there was a young girl sitting in the room, and in front of the girl there was a large fluorescent photograph, the girl with her knees bent, her hands on her knees, her chin on her knees, staring at the picture in amazement, and the photo was a group photo of the Sleeping Knights.

This girl is Yuki, her body is in an anaerobic ward, unable to speak, unable to see, unable to move, and this space is her completely stealthy autonomous space, in this space, she has the highest authority.

She had known this for a long time, and she had accepted this qiē early, but until the last moment, she found that she could not accept this qiē at all.

"I don't want to, just leave," she muttered as she stared at the photo.

The people in the photo are smiling so happily.

Tear pull...!

At this moment, a narrow crack was suddenly torn open in the dark space, and white light could not wait to pour out from the crack, illuminating a corner of the space.

The sudden change attracted Yuki's gaze, and she looked at the crack that poured into the white light, her expression unchanged, such a change could not compare to the impending death.

The crack slowly widened, and a blurred figure appeared in the white light.

It wasn't until this moment that Yuki's eyes changed slightly, for so many years in this space, even the attending doctor had to get her consent before he could talk to her, not to mention that other virtual bodies came in here, and they came in in a violent way, which was unheard of and unseen.

The figure couldn't see clearly in the white light, but he stepped over the crack and walked into the room, and then, the torn crack slowly closed, blocking the white light, and the room returned to darkness.

Despite the lack of any light, the surface of Yuki's body shimmered with a faint sheen, so that he could see his face clearly in the dark, and the uninvited guest did not have such a function.

Just when Yuki wanted to provide this function for this uninvited guest, so as to see who it was, he saw that person activated this function on his own, which surprised Yuki again.

The light appeared, and the person who came was a young man, with black hair and black eyes, a handsome appearance, a long figure, and a sickly pale face.

The man looked at his hands, as if realizing that he had come to this space in the form of reality, and couldn't help but say to himself with some feeling: "The first physiognomy template is the root." As he spoke, he looked at Yuki, who was sitting on the ground, and smiled slightly.

"You're... Soaring into the sky? ”

Yuki, no, it should be said that Kapok Ji looked at the strange person in front of him, and there was surprise in his eyes, although he was extremely puzzled, he vaguely guessed the identity of the person.

"It's me."

Xiangkong sat down and said embarrassedly, "I sent you a request to enter, but there has been no response, so... I forced my way in. ”

Kapok Ji looked at him and asked, "Why are you here, and besides, who are you?" ”

Xiangkong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said calmly: "I am a dead person, just like you, a terminal illness, I came here to help you." (To be continued......)
