1596 "I've Grown Up."
This is a very ordinary world.
A very ordinary world in the truest sense of the word.
Here, there are no monsters that threaten the survival of human beings, and there are no magicians who can protect human beings, and there are just ordinary and prosperous cities.
There are lively crowds in the city.
There are cars coming and going on the streets.
People live ordinary lives.
People are growing up in general.
People go through the ups and downs and the ups and downs of life in general.
A modern world where there is no mystery, no magic, only reality.
That's what this world is all about.
It's just that if you want to say that it's extraordinary, then it's also extraordinary.
Because, just two years ago, there was an amazing incident.
Fully stealthy virtual reality technology game console ββββ "NERvGear".
Virtual reality massive online role-playing game ββββSword Art Online.
These two existences will imprison tens of thousands of gamers in the virtual game world, and let them carry out strategies there at the cost of their lives.
Akihiko Kayaba, a famous quantum physicist and genius game designer who realized these two technologies, has become the most vicious criminal in history, causing a sensation throughout the country and the world.
Two years later, to this day, this incident is still widely discussed, and even the TV news often reports on it.
Like now...
"After two years, the large-scale online role-playing game "SAO" has finally been successfully implemented, allowing the victims who are lying in the hospital to stay alive and finally wake up and be safe."
"According to statistics, 7,354 of the 10,000 players who infiltrated the game are still alive, while the remaining 2,646 have died in the past two years due to the loss of their lives in the game and the destruction of their brains by 'NERvGear'."
"This is the biggest murder since the founding of our country."
"As for the murderer Akihiko Kuiba, the government agencies are still searching and arresting."
"So, this incident is still not resolved."
On a street lined with tall buildings, such a report is being carried out on a video wall embedded in the front of a building.
People have long been surprised by this, as if similar reports have been carried out for an unknown number of times, and they are hurrying in the cold winter.
In the crowd, only one person stopped.
It was a young girl.
A girl with shoulder-length hair, a little shiny black, a pair of large, slightly competitive eyes, looking at the TV wall, wearing a school uniform, with a proud figure and curves.
The girl watched the report on the TV wall, and it wasn't long before she lowered her eyes.
Because, young girls are among the most qualified people to evaluate reports.
"The incident is still not resolved..."
It's not something to take for granted, is it?
Not to mention that Akihiko Kayaba, who is the culprit, has not been found, let's just say that the victims have not all been rescued either.
"And 7,354 people still alive?"
This is simply a lie.
Indeed, just two months ago, the game of death, known as "SAO", was hacked.
The imprisoned players wake up one after another, bringing the hospital to life, welcoming the families of countless people and government officials, and reuniting the victims and their families with tears of joy.
Even the girl's family woke up two months ago, and after two years, they finally returned home.
However, the incident is still having an impact.
Because, after the game was raided, there were only seven thousand and fifty-three players who woke up.
Then, for some reason, 300 people have not woken up, and one person has disappeared for no reason and has not been found.
The police had come to the man's hospital room, and even the top of the state had come to try to find some clues.
It's a pity that in the end, people didn't find anything, and they didn't know whether the person woke up or was taken away, and completely disappeared.
This person is another family member of the girl.
"Brother Qinghe..."
The girl whispered the names of her family.
The man's name was Tonggu Qinghe.
And the girl is Naoba Kiritani.
It is Luo Zhen's sister in this world.
It's been two years.,At the beginning,Of the two brothers who were trapped in the game world,One of the two brothers who was trapped in the game world has woken up.,The other is still missing.γ
Thinking back to the past, Naoba didn't know how many times he wanted to shed tears, but he held back it vividly.
Although, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Naoba and the two elder brothers is no longer as good as when they were children, and the gap between them is very large.
However, no matter how big the gap is, it has been worn out in the situation of life and death separation that may occur at any time for two whole years.
Today's Naoba has only one wish.
That is to hope that his other brother can come back and reunite his family.
It's just that...
"Where the hell are you? Brother Qinghe..."
Naoba could only murmur in confusion, and then tightly grasped the strap of the bamboo sword bag that he was carrying on his shoulder, and took another step forward.
Just then, Naoba's cell phone rang.
Naoba was slightly stunned and picked up the phone.
The next second, a familiar voice came into Naoha's ears.
It was the voice of Naoba's mother, Azumi Kiritani.
I saw that Kiritani Cui said such a sentence in an excited voice.
"Naoba! Come to the hospital! β
"Qinghe is back! Qinghe is back! β
These words came into Naoba's ears very clearly.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the phone in Naoha's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
............
"Huh... Ha... Hah..."
In one of the corridors of the hospital, Naoba ran forward as fast as he could, despite his own breathlessness, in the direction of the once extremely familiar ward.
Around, ambulance personnel and police officers are running back and forth briskly.
Vaguely, there was one thing in the mouths of these people.
"The missing child is back!"
"He's really back!"
"Quick! Hurry up and notify above! β
People were just shouting and running around each other, making the hospital lively again.
In such a situation, Naoba finally came to his destination, the room where he had visited countless times, but he could only see the figure of his brother lying on the hospital bed.
At this time, the door was not closed.
Naoba rushed directly to the door of the ward, held on to the door beam, and couldn't help bending over to breathe anymore.
However, even so, Naoba still stared intently at the scene inside the door.
There, Kiritani Cui hugged a teenager tightly, crying and laughing.
Next to him, Kirito also looked like he was crying and laughing, hugging the boy's shoulder tightly.
In addition, some medical staff and police officers were also at the scene, all silently waiting by the side.
As for the young man, his face was far more mature than before, steady but helpless.
After a while, the boy turned his gaze and looked at the door, meeting Naoba's excited gaze.
Immediately, the boy's eyes widened, and then he smiled.
The smile is particularly nostalgic.
"Grown up, Naoba."
The boy said this with a smile.
It's like never being separated.
"Brother...!"
Naoba finally pounced on him with tears in his eyes.
So, Luo Zhen returned to this world again.
Return to the world I experienced, the most ordinary, but also the most impressive.
