Syllable~

The cup fell to the floor, and dark purple juice splattered all over the floor, and a purple tooltip panel labeled "Immortal Object" appeared.

But such a terrible situation cannot be compared with the surprise of the owner of the cup.

"Raiders complete!?"

Zeyi looked at Argo in surprise, even though he was already full of confidence in the first layer of the strategy, but after knowing it at this time, the two of them still couldn't believe it was true in their hearts.

As if to confirm their thoughts, a feminine voice sounded in the sky again.

"Strategy Complete"

After this voice was repeated three times, Zeyi came back to his senses, he looked at Argo with a happy face, and said excitedly: "Yay! Finally it worked!"

Argo, on the other side, was also very happy, and stood up excitedly and raised his wine glass.

"Celebrate the end of the strategy!"

There seemed to be a kind of magic in her words, evoking the fanaticism of the players around the hotel. One by one, they screamed loudly, and the sound drowned out the system's announcements.

At this historic moment, they danced and toasted to bless players they didn't know before, as a way to celebrate the completion of the first layer of the strategy.

"Finally it worked!"

"They're doing well."

"I'll definitely go to the strategy meeting next time."

……

Looking out of the hotel, the streets and alleys were filled with laughter, in stark contrast to the hellish horrors of a month ago.

And all this success comes from the joint team in the labyrinth area.

Fighting bloodily, they used their actions to hover on the brink of death, telling the players who were abandoned in the town of Origin, and the retreaters of Torbana - the possibility of completely attacking the game.

It is they who dispel the darkness and usher in the light for Ayn Grant, and they will inevitably become role models for other players and become hot celebrities.

Presumably, after today, more and more people will leave the town of Origin and embark on this road full of crises; There will also be more and more players who will join the strategy group and do their best to attack the game.

"Then I'll go and prepare first."

Argo placed the empty glass on the table and left the hotel first.

As a qualified businessman, getting useful information first is the key to success, so Zeyi's mood did not fluctuate much about her departure.

Looking at the players around him who were caught in a carnival, Zeyi smiled again, "Boss, another glass of wine." ”

However, they were in the carnival, but they didn't know that the situation in the labyrinth area hundreds of meters away was completely different from here.

A heavy atmosphere permeated the entire labyrinth area, and the feeling of depression was no less than Akihiko Kayaba's death declaration.

Kirito is surrounded by the players, along with a blue-haired scimitar.

I saw the scimitar make a sad look, and looked at Kirito with resentment.

"———— why, you didn't save Tilberu when he saw death!"

"If you don't save ...... when you die?"

Kirito muttered under his breath, not understanding what the scimitar meant.

"Yes! Don't you know the tricks used by bosses? If you had told us the information in the first place, Tilberu wouldn't have died! ”

As he spoke, the players around him looked at Kirito with a slight hatred and became agitated.

"That's exactly what happened."

"You're going to give us an explanation."

"Why is there a situation that is not recorded in the strategy book in the end!"

And so on, like a catharsis for the strong sense of crisis that he had just gotten rid of, he loudly condemned it and pointed at Kirito in the center.

Just when Kirito thought that the Tooth King not far away would give him a fatal blow, the Tooth King was surprisingly silent.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was enduring something, and finally did not say the deadly poison "because he is a closed beta player".

But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, just like the scimitar envoy next to the Tooth King, and Xiluo, who is in Team E, is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"I know because ...... This guy called Kirito is an original beta player. It must have been him who deliberately concealed it and didn't report it, so that such a tragedy would happen!"

Ciro's words are a catalyst for players who are in dire need of catharsis a reason to be presumptuous.

They opened their mouths slightly, and were about to make a second accusation, but they were blocked by Kirito first.

He stared at the Coat-of-Midnight he had just gotten on the panel, and as if he had made up his mind, he took a step forward.

Pretending to be seen through the intentions, he looked at the face of the short knife envoy with a cold gaze. He shrugged his shoulders and said in the most emotionless tone, "Because, I'm the original tester?" Don't compare me to those laymen! ”

"What...... What the......? ”

"Listen up, give me a careful memory. SAO's CBT (Closet Beta Test) is selected based on a certain probability. Out of the 1,000 people who took the closed beta, how many do you think are real MMO players? Basically, they're beginners with no experience. Just like you are now! ”

Hearing these extremely contemptuous words, all forty-two players fell silent. It's like you're back to the atmosphere before the boss battle, and the surroundings become cold, as if there is an invisible blade brushing against your skin.

"—But, I'm different from those guys."

Kirito sneered intentionally, speaking in a tone of contempt that made him special.

"Among the beta seekers, I made it to a level that no one else had reached. The reason why I know the boss's sword skills is also the reason why I have fought many times with MOBs who use knives at the higher level. I know a lot about other things, and Argo doesn't have to worry about anything. ”

“…… What, what are you talking about, ......" Ciro, who initially pointed out that Kirito was a closed beta player, stammered in a hoarse voice, "This ...... It's not a beta tester anymore...... It's a cheater, and it's a cheater! ”

There were "yes", "cheater", "cheater in closed beta...... Sounds like this.

The words were mixed together, and the wonderful pronunciation of the word "Beater" reached my ears.

“「Beater」？ That's a good name. Kirito smiled and looked around at everyone present, and made a clear and solemn announcement with his hand to stop Asuna from blurting out the words he was about to blurt out.

"That's it, I'm the "Beater". From now on, please don't compare me to the original testers. ”

This is how Kiritto came up with the idea of creating another identity (Beater) to transfer the hatred of players towards the closed beta players to him alone.

He turned his black coat into a black coat and replaced his equipment. The body was wrapped in a small beam of light, and the old gray cloth turned into a beautiful pitch-black leather. The hem of the garment also became very long, reaching below the knee, which was quite sinister.

He then walked straight to the small room where he was, and past the crowd of players who surrounded him, and began his hateful life.
