Back in the guild, Keita still looks like he can't get enough of it.

"It's over so soon! I want to play a little longer! Keita muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Still playing! From noon to now, it's dark! Go to bed! Xu Qingsheng hit Qitai mercilessly.

"Got it!" Keita replied unwillingly, but he obediently returned to the room.

The others were also tired of playing, ready to rest early, and went back to their rooms. Only Kirito and Xu Qingsheng were still sitting in the hall.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask." Xu Qingsheng poured two glasses of water and handed one to Kirito. Looking at Kirito's serious look, Xu Qingsheng understood that he might not be able to fool him this time.

"How did you find out Akihiko Kayaba's identity?" Kirito recalled the situation when he attacked the boss today, and Xu Qingsheng often paid attention to the direction of Heathcliff.

And when Heathcliff took off his disguise and reverted to the appearance of Akihiko Kayaba, everyone was surprised, but Kirito found that Xu Qingsheng didn't seem to be surprised, as if he had known it for a long time.

Combined with the duel between the two the day before, the conversation between Xu Qingsheng and Heathcliff also seemed a little inexplicable, as if the two knew each other at all.

But in fact, the two should have met for the first time.

"Well, is that the only question? It's better to say all the doubts and solve them all at once. Xu Qingsheng is very simple, instead of letting Kirito ask questions one by one, it is better to directly say all the problems and solve them together.

"There are a lot of doubts." Kirito is also polite, since Xu Qingsheng said so, he will tell all the problems he found: "First, I found that you seem to be very clear about the boss's information; Second, your self-created Blade Storm doesn't have a cooldown, which doesn't make sense; Thirdly, some of your usual actions are very different from ours. At first, I thought it was because you were a foreigner, but now it seems to be a suspicion. ”

Kirito said all the doubts he had hidden in his heart in one breath, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Xu Qingsheng nodded in agreement, and Kirito observed very carefully. But it's also a little depressing: what do you do so carefully? I'm not your CP!

"Is that all?"

"There are a few other questions, but that's probably the answer, and the rest is not a problem."

"Okay, let's talk about them one by one."

Xu Qingsheng sighed. There will always be this day, sooner or later. Besides, when he attacked the boss today, he had plans to return after being exposed.

SAO,For him, the goal has been achieved.,The reason why he continues to stay.,It's just to make up for the regret that there is no strategy to the 100th floor in the original book.,By the way.,You can go through it with Kirito.,Keita.,Luck.,And Asuna They go through a little more.。 After all, it has been more than a year since I came to SAO, and I will always be a little reluctant.

"Let's start with where I came from." Xu Qingsheng took a sip of water, put down the cup and said slowly: "I'm not from this world. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kirito's eyes suddenly widened: Not from this world? What is the meaning?

"You heard it right, it's literal."

"Maybe you still don't understand, so I'll put it another way."

"Do you think the real world is in the same world as SAO, or is it a different world?"

"The real world?" Kirito fell into thought.

Xu Qingsheng drank water silently, waiting for Kirito's answer.

"It's supposed to be the same world, right? After all, SAO is also a product of reality. Kirito said with some uncertainty.

"That's true, but now we're in the world of SAO, cut off from the real world. Assuming that we can never get out, is SAO still the same world as the real world? ”

Never get out? How can it be!

Kirito first denied this statement, but after thinking about it, if, if it is really as Xu Qingsheng said, it is indeed another world for those who will stay here forever.

Looking at Kirito's expression, Xu Qingsheng probably guessed that he had already figured out this question, and continued: "For me, the real world here is another world, but I have a way to go back. ”

"I see. Is it true that there is a world higher than reality? Kirito is very smart, and he roughly understood this meaning from Xu Qingsheng's statement.

"Well, it's not necessarily more advanced, it's just a metaphor. And my situation is very special. ”

Kirito nodded, indicating that he understood the question, and stopped talking, waiting for Xu Qingsheng to explain the other questions.

"Now that you understand this, it's easy to do." Xu Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried that Kirito would break the casserole and ask to the end, Kayaba Akihiko finally knew about the existence of the reincarnation, and it would be too troublesome to explain it to Kirito, so it would be good.

"The other questions are probably just one question. I know a lot about some of the important things that happen in SAO. ”

"As for the reason...... Xu Qingsheng hesitated for a moment, but continued: "It's like if you watch a movie and then enter the world of the movie, will you know what will happen next?" ”

"Is this world just a movie?" Kirito couldn't accept it for a while.

"Parable, parable! Don't get too excited. Xu Qingsheng comforted Kirito, what was he excited about, really. I haven't said it's an anime yet, so wouldn't it be crying to tell you the truth?

"There's still a difference. The movie will continue to be performed according to the established script, and the people here are flesh and blood, people with feelings and thoughts. ”

"A lot has changed because of me, so I don't know exactly what happened next. But I do know a little bit about the boss, and this probably won't change. ”

"So that's ......" Kirito had fully understood Xu Qingsheng's statement.

"It turns out that our life is a movie in the eyes of others......

Looking at the frustrated Kirito, Xu Qingsheng put down the water glass, stood up and patted Kirito on the shoulder.

"Don't overthink it. Who can guarantee that the world I live in is not a movie in the eyes of others? It's okay to be yourself, thinking too much will only add to your troubles. ”

Xu Qingsheng smiled self-deprecatingly. Yes, who can guarantee that including the main world, the dimensional world, his experience, everything, will not be a "movie" in the eyes of others? Why bother with so much, it's true to be yourself. Is it because of this reason that we have to give up on ourselves? How can it be! His story is just beginning, okay! He's also going to the academy city to go on a date with Sister Cannon!
