December 2023

It's been seven months since the SAO Open Beta began.

On a recliner in Miaozhen Central Park on the 49th floor, a girl with black silk hanging down her shoulders said coldly, "Is there any new news?" ”

"The Immortal Cultivation Guild established by the white-clothed swordsman is currently ranked first among the three major guilds, and the one called the Immortal Cultivation Guild has been crazy recently, and has been hunting some murderous guilds in the wild area, and I don't know what the situation is with that guild."

Behind the chaise longue, a girl hidden under the hood of cat ears sighed helplessly, and the six colorful graffiti on her face were faintly visible even in the dark.

"I'm talking about the information of the activity"

"I don't know about this"

"Is there any other information that you, the 'beta sealer', don't know? In that case, you are too incompetent as an informant."

"This event didn't come out during the closed beta...... How do I know this, and have you been going too far to level up lately? ”

That's right, after Kirito experienced the Black Cat Group incident, Lin repeatedly invited her to join the Cinchgod Guild, but she was all refused.

If the reason is the reason, Lin Yi also has some guesses, he is also smart but clever and mistaken, he thinks that after giving Kirito the heart of life, she can at least save Xin.

It's a pity that things don't have ifs......

The end is that until now, Kirito has always been alone, no longer entering any guilds, and at the same time frantically charging at the front line, devoting himself to the strategy game, so that the progress of the game has been greatly pushed forward.

This is something that Lin Yi didn't expect, and it can be regarded as impermanence.

"Whew...... Let's go" exhaled a cloud of white mist, Kirito stood up directly from the recliner, and then walked to the side of the street without looking back.

And in the very center of this park, there is a giant Christmas tree more than four meters high.

"Hey! You're just gone? Anyway, are you really going to take on that boss alone? Do you also want to learn from the white-clothed sword king? ”

"Who's going to learn from him...... Hehe......"

The black figure, infinitely elongated by the light, finally disappeared in the girl's helpless eyes.

"I really don't know if this thing is good or bad, alas"

……

Thirty-fourth floor, George District, suburbs

There have been several well-known "murders" in the circle, and the information about the murderer has already been raised.

According to eyewitnesses, there were only three murderers, all of whom wore strange goggles, and covered their faces under the goggles with a cloth, making it difficult to identify, only the coffin sign in their hands looked particularly obvious.

Lin Yi was wandering around the area with a few new members at this time.

"President, are we really going to trouble that murderous guild?" A little Zhengtai, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, followed behind Lin Yi step by step with his shoulders half-shrunk and said.

"Isn't that nonsense! You don't look at the rank of the president! What an idiot! ”

"Captain Shearer, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" The little Shota turned his head and yelled at Shearer, then reverted back to his "I'm scared".

"Tut-tut...... I really don't know how a person like you can pass the guild assessment" Hiller held a short knife in his hand as if he was walking, and followed the team a little casually.

Suddenly, Lin Yi, who was walking in the forefront, stopped. At the same time, several trade union members who followed him also noticed that something was not quite right around them.

The suburbs, as the name suggests, are off the beaten track!

The team was located in a gap in the forest, similar to an inverted triangle intersection, and both sides were covered by tall trees, making it difficult to see what was hidden ahead.

But as soon as you cross this intersection, you can see the rest of the road at a glance.

Again, it's a great ambush spot!

"President ......"

"Shhhh ”

From inside the forest, a sudden sound was heard.

"Huh...... The Sword King in White! ”

The sound is not like a human voice, but somewhat similar to a modern machine-synthesized sound.

Woohoo!

Several figures quickly rushed out of the woods, neatly lined up in front of Lin Yi's team, just blocking their way, and there was a commotion in the forest.

Bang, bang, bang, the sound of neat footsteps came from both sides, and then rushed to the open space behind the team, and the two sides were attacked, just forming a dumpling-making formation.

"President, Captain Shearer, what should I do now......" Xiao Zhengtai's hands and feet trembled a little, he usually kills monsters, but this is the first time he has faced a player.

The white clothes fluttered, the long sword was lightly raised, and Lin Yi glanced at the people around him with disdain, "When did the Holy Dragon Alliance collude with the garbage of the Smile Coffin?" ”

"Humph! In the past few months, your Immortal Cultivation Guild has seized a lot of resources that originally belonged to us, not to mention, and is still constantly suppressing in the dark, do you really think this breath can be swallowed? ”

"Oh~ Is even the president of the Holy Dragon Union here? It seems that this time the handwriting is not small" Having said that, Lin Yi's heart has begun to have a hint of retreat.

When the people around saw Lin Yi's slight retreat, they suddenly felt like they had been injected with a booster in their hearts, and they began to gradually surround them.

"The situation is really bad now, and I am careless, when the time comes, I will fight a way, you just have to rush forward" Lin Yi turned his head and whispered to Shearer behind him.

Shearer also put away his hanging appearance, replaced the short knife in his hand with a tall round shield, and nodded solemnly, "Little ghost, when the time comes, just follow my ass and keep rushing forward." Got it?"

"Got it," Xiao Zhengtai said with some cowardice.

"Hahahaha, the white-clothed Sword King, you know that in the past few months, I haven't slept well every night, just to solve your scourge! How? Not arrogant today? Isn't it usually quite powerful? ”

Lin Yi, the president of the Holy Dragon Alliance, had only seen it a few times, and he might not be famous at all in the outside world.

Because this guy is simply protecting his life to the extent of BT, looking at him now, all his body is wrapped in thick silver armor, and he doesn't even have a weapon in his hand.

Not equipping a weapon doesn't mean he doesn't have combat effectiveness, it's just a strategy he made to lighten his load and escape better!

Lin Yi twisted his neck, glanced at the timid president with contempt in his eyes, and then took advantage of their unpreparedness and shouted, "Ahead!" Rush! ”

Its figure quickly moved in the small area, and the people around saw Lin Yi, and they didn't dare to stop it at all, this was a lesson in blood!

The agreement reached between the Holy Dragon Alliance and the Smile Coffin made one thing clear, that is, Lin Yi must hand over the Smile Coffin to deal with.

Looking at the figure that was rushing towards him quickly, the smiling coffin member who was standing at the exit and took the lead let out a secret smile, "It's just right!" ”

In the darkness, something suddenly as sharp as that, reflected in the moonlight, flickered for a moment, and then disappeared into shadow.
