"Whew... Whew..."

The faint sound of breathing rose and fell from the girl's somewhat pale lips.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Instruments such as heartbeat testing are used in the ward and are connected to the girl's body.

Luo Zhen came to the girl, sat beside her, looked at her in a daze, and did not react for a long time.

After a long time...

"Sorry, I'm late."

Luo Zhen opened his mouth as if he was talking to Asuna.

"I should have come here earlier, but for my sake and all kinds of things, it has been delayed until now."

Luo Zhen began to speak.

"I know that if it was you, I would have cried again, and told me with a smile on your face———— "Don't worry, I know you're coming."

This is the tenderness of a girl, and it is a prayer that a girl has never hoped for.

"Obviously I'm just a fool who only knows strategies and research, and I don't understand the style at all, and you're still willing to come to live with me and become Yui's mother, it's really hard to figure out, what do you like about me."

Luo Zhen seemed to finish the words hidden in his heart in the past in one breath, and slowly told them sentence by sentence.

"Perhaps, when we first met in the first floor of Ayn Grant, you should have stabbed me to death with a sword, which would have been more enjoyable."

Recalling the events at that time, and then recalling himself at that time, Luo Zhen could only smile bitterly.

But...

"Now, I'm greedy, and I really want to go on a good date with you again, even if I don't have that 22nd layer forest, let alone the beautiful scenery, that's the same."

As he spoke, Luo Zhen stretched out his hand, stroked Asuna's cheek, and stroked her long chestnut hair, and finally landed on her hand and held it tightly.

"Now, let me bring you back."

After speaking, Luo Zhen stretched out his other hand and put it on the helmet-type game console that Asuna was wearing.

In his body, the astonishing magic power that overcame the dragon vein began to surge.

Although I don't know why Asuna hasn't woken up after clearing SAO, for the current Luo Zhen, it is undoubtedly very simple to save Asuna to wake up.

For example, Luo Zhen can use magic or spells to directly recall Asuna's spirit and even soul and make her awake.

For another example, Luo Zhen can use a defensive technique in Asuna's brain to directly cut off the power supply, even if "NERvGear" will immediately burn the wearer's head like a microwave oven after being cut off from the power supply or disconnected from the Internet, Asuna can wake up safe and sound under the protection of the defense technique.

What's more, even if something really happened to Asuna, Luo Zhen could still carve the Rune for her resurrection, and even use the "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice" to resurrect her and make her return.

In short, there are all the ways to save Asuna for Luo Zhen.

It's better to say that even if it's not the current Luo Zhen, but Luo Zhen, who was still in this world before, and even the superior envoy demon couldn't successfully summon it, if he used magic, he could save Asuna back.

Perhaps, in the eyes of people in this world, it is very difficult to conquer "NERvGear", but for Luo Zhen, this is just a microwave oven worn on his head, as long as he uses "Magic Defense" to protect his brain, and then cut off the power supply, he can save people back casually.

Before, the reason why Luo Zhen couldn't get out of the world of SAO was only because he himself fell into it.

"NERvGear" has the effect of blocking the signals sent by the wearer's brain, and once connected, it will be completely isolated from the real world, and can only receive imaginary five emotional retributions.

This is a function that is necessary to move freely in the virtual space.

Otherwise, if the brain's commands to the body in the real world are still valid, and the user who is completely stealthy has the idea of acting in the imaginary space, the body in the real world will also act at the same time, and it will not be possible to lie indoors and enjoy the game with peace of mind.

Because "NERvGear" collects the commands sent by the medulla to **, and then converts the commands into digital signals for the active virtual character, players can run around and fight freely in the game.

In such a situation, Luo Zhen, who is also in the game, can't control his body in the real world to use magic, can't use magic to protect his brain, and can't cut off the power and network, so he can only stay in the game world.

Now, Luo Zhenren is outside, and it is easy to save a player who is completely sneaking in front of him.

"Hum..."

With a faint buzzing sound, Luo Zhen first planted a magic barrier around Asuna's head, and carved a few runes on Asuna's arm.

The runes sank into Asuna's body, filling Asuna's delicate body with abundant vitality, injecting vitality into her body, which had been exhausted by two years of inability to move, and restoring Asuna's vitality.

Then, Luo Zhen pointed a finger on the door of Asuna's head, closed his eyes, and carved another rune.

It is a pure rune that cleanses the mind and awakens the sleeping life and soul.

Guided by this rune, the sleeping elves will be awakened and purify the body and mind of the rune's users.

Using this rune, Luo Zhen wanted to bring back Asuna's spirit so that she could awaken.

It's just that...

"Huh?"

Luo Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and was surprised.

Because, Luo Zhen felt it.

"Actually refused?"

Yes.

Refused.

For some reason, Asuna seemed to sense that she was about to be awakened, and subconsciously refused to be guided by the runes and refused to wake up from her slumber.

"What's going on?"

Luo Zhen frowned tightly.

Luo Zhen didn't expect that Asuna would refuse to wake up.

This caught Luo Zhen off guard.

But on the other hand, Luo Zhen was also relieved.

"Since Asuna's subconscious refuses to wake up, it proves that she is not in some unknown danger, but that something must be done in this state, right?"

That being the case, it at least proves that Asuna isn't experiencing any serious problems for the time being.

Or...

"Even if she encounters a serious problem, she has to rise to the occasion...?"

Luo Zhen thought for a moment.

"Looks like there's something going on that I don't know about."

What is Asuna's current status?

Her soul continues to be imprisoned, where is it staying?

SAO?

Still is...

Luo Zhen thought silently.

After a long time, Luo Zhen let out a breath.

Anyway, there is one thing that you have to do.

"Three hundred players, including Asuna, still haven't woken up, and continue to sleep in the mystery..."

This mystery must be solved.

Otherwise, Asuna might never wake up.

And this is the first thing Luo Zhen must do when he returns to this world.

In order to bring Asuna back.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Asuna's pretty face again.

"Wait for me..."

Leaving such words, Luo Zhen stood up and left the ward.

In the white ward, Asuna was the only one left still sleeping quietly.

On his face, a tear appeared at some point and flowed down.
