Chapter Twenty-Five: Let's "Date" the Big Guy!
—January 14, 2024, on the 75th floor of Ayn Grant, in a café.
At this time, the blank siblings were sitting in the private room of the café, drinking coffee leisurely, as if waiting for someone, they were wearing a linen-colored cloak, but the hood had been lowered.
"Ding~" The door of the confined private room was pushed open, and a figure shrouded in a black cloak walked in, he glanced at the blank brother and sister in the private room, reached out and closed the private room door, and locked it by the way.
"The head of the regiment is here, please take a seat." Kong said lightly to the black-robed man.
"Hmm." The black-robed man answered, took off his hood, and a face with the characteristic smile of the big guy appeared, that's right, this black-robed man is the FFF group.... Phew, the leader of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, recognized as the strongest SAO among players, Heathcliff.
"Mr. Kong, why did you ask me out even if you didn't hesitate to spend my promise once? Isn't it possible that you are here to drink coffee with the two of you? Heathcliff asked with a smile.
"In that case, then I won't go around in circles." Sora paused here, the corners of his mouth hung an inexplicable arc, and continued: "Where did the room of the 75th floor boss of Ain Grant go?" The head of the group, or should I call you the creator of this world, Akihiko Kayaba? ”
Heathcliff, who was fiddling with the coffee cup, froze, but quickly returned to normal.
"Mr. Sora don't kid, how can I be that hateful guy?" Heathcliff said calmly, as if it really wasn't him.
"Well, it's okay if you don't admit it, I'll help you prove it." Sora said lightly, then picked up the spoon on the table and threw it at Heathcliff.
Looking at Sora's movements, Heatscliff couldn't understand what he was thinking, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed the small spoon that Sora tossed. The moment he grabbed the spoon, a sudden change protruded, and a violent electric light exploded on the spoon, and Heathcliff's body was paralyzed, and at the same time, the blood gauge began to decrease sharply, until Heathcliff's health bar was locked, and the word "indestructible" appeared on the top of his head, and the electric light stopped.
After the paralysis effect was lifted, Heathcliff stood up directly, and said with a shocked face: "How did you manage to PK in the safe zone!" ”
"Well, don't worry, we'll tell you later, then, Mr. Kayaba, can we sit down and talk now?"
Heathcliff was a big guy, and after a brief moment of shock, his emotions calmed down.
"So before you get to business, can you tell me how you found out who I really am? After all, I don't remember any flaws. Akihiko Kayaba asked suspiciously.
"It's a duel!" Sora glanced at Akihiko Kayaba, who didn't get what he said, and had to continue helplessly: "The speed shown by the shield strike that you finally hit Flying Rabbit Hao is simply impossible for players or skills to do!" ”
"Is that so? Careless! Kayaba Akihiko sighed and continued, "Since that's the case, let's get to the point. ”
Sora nodded and asked, "So, can Mr. Kayaba tell us where the boss room on the 75th floor of Ayn Grant went?" ”
"To be honest, I don't know where I went, it seems that the database has been tampered with by someone in the outside world, and the other party is very high-tech, since a few months ago, he began to compete with me for the rights of this world." Kayaba explained helplessly, and a trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.
The blank siblings glanced at each other when they heard Kayaba Akihiko's explanation, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes, although even if their bodies were killed in reality, or their consciousness was annihilated, they would only sleep for a while, and then they would be reborn in chaos, but Sirika, Yuki, Kirito, and Asuna, their best friends, couldn't do this. Even if they could use their power to resurrect them, they didn't know that the resurrected people were still not their original friends, so they didn't want to do so unless they had to.
"Since you no longer have full control over the world, let's get rid of the players!" Sora urged.
"Unfortunately, I can't. That person has already locked the conditions for customs clearance without my knowledge, and Ben and I can't make the matter of clearing the customs early and liberating everyone. Kayaba Akihiko spread her hands and said helplessly.
Sora was silent, and directly took out the talisman seal obtained from the special labyrinth and threw it to Kayaba Akihiko. Because you are already married in the blank game, and after you get married, you will get the common attributes of the backpack, so there is one more of the two sigils obtained in the maze, so there will be no problem if you throw one to Akihiko Kayaba.
Looking at the yellow paper and red character seal in front of me with a question mark in addition to the name, I was a little confused.
Looking at Akihiko Kayaba in a daze, he opened his mouth and explained: "This is a gift from the world, and I can PK in the safe zone because of this thing, which can enhance your authority in SAO." ”
Hearing Sora's explanation, Kayaba Akihiko was a little uneasy, after all, the will of the world or something, it is impossible for ordinary people like them to know it.
"This kind of thing, you can just use it yourself, why give it to me?" After Akihiko Kayaba calmed down, he asked puzzled.
"Even if we have a lot of authority, we can't play much, after all, we don't know much about SAO, so this talisman will be more effective in the hands of you, the creator of SAO." Sora patiently explained.
"So, what is your purpose?" Akihiko Kayaba asked after a moment of silence.
"Free all the players in SAO!" Empty voice.
"Ah, well, I promised, and in a month, I will give you a satisfactory answer." After Akihiko Kayaba finished speaking, he pulled on his hood and walked away.
After being silent in the private room for a while, Bai pulled the air and shouted softly: "Brother~"
Looking at his sister who was full of worry in his eyes, he touched her head and comforted: "Trust him, if he really can't do it, I'll use my power directly." ”
"Hmm~" Feeling Sora's comfort, Shiro nodded.
"Well~ let's go, grab a few of them, and spend the last time in this world." After speaking, Sora took Bai's hand, left the private room, and walked towards their house.
