In addition to the beautiful 'Oasis' game that is sought after by countless people on Earth, it is the year 2045, the real world of Earth that is increasingly on the verge of chaos and collapse due to the gap between rich and poor, lack of resources, turmoil, plague, economic collapse, and various other reasons......

At this time, in this dilapidated residential building converted from an abandoned factory, Artemis and Parsifal were busy on their rooftop balcony, on the roof of the container RV area decorated like a small garden with a direct view of the IOI headquarters and the slums, trying to prepare something that seemed to be for entertaining guests.

Actually, they don't have anything too good here, just some things that might be delicious, such as snacks, biscuits, nuts, and the fresh crops that they grow in the greenhouse like strawberries and tomatoes that they grow here in the balcony garden.

Of course, it might not be appropriate to call them Artemis or Parsifal as a game name that is too middle two? Because ah, the names of the two of them are actually Samantha Cook and Wade Watts! This place is the secret base of Samantha and her like-minded rebels who are determined to resist the 'tyranny' and monopoly 'domination' of IOI's online creative company.

Here, there are at least dozens of their teammates, young and old, most of whom are poor people who have been persecuted by IOI, or whose families are being persecuted by IOI, and then have to rebel or try to change their tragic fate.

“？？”

"Samantha? I just wanted to ask, because I don't understand, don't we need to be in the game today? ”

"Edge, you just sent me a message!"

"The folks at IOI, and the other Easter egg hunters, seem to have found out about the fact that we entered The Shining and obtained the key, and now that secret is an open secret, don't we need to hurry up and crack that last clue?"

Wade Watts, who was helping the other party clean up his things, suddenly asked with some curiosity, because he really didn't know what kind of holiday it was today and why he arranged this kind of thing.

If it was to celebrate the victory, when they had obtained the second key before, hadn't they already celebrated with food and vegetables the night before? So, he thinks it's best for them to take advantage of the fact that they still have a certain advantage, hurry up and crack the last clue and get the last key, so as to find Halliday's easter egg!

Otherwise, all the efforts they have put into it will be in vain if they wait for IOI's 'sixth man' or other Easter egg hunters to get the second key and catch up.

"No!"

"Not at the moment!"

"Because, we are waiting for a guest today who is very, very important for me and for all of us!!"

Looking at the things that should be prepared, those things that were eaten and drunk seemed to have been prepared, and after there was nothing left out for the time being, Samantha Cook breathed a sigh of relief, and then clapped her hands and said lightly.

“！！”

"Not, very important guests?"

Seeing that the other party was so attached to it and was full of anticipation, and I don't know why, Wade Watts suddenly felt a little unhappy, and his mood instantly became low...... Then, after a while, he thought about it, and then he could barely resist some impulse, forced himself to put on an ugly smile and swallowed his saliva, and then asked stupidly:

"That ......"

"Who could that guest be?!"

No one likes to see their favorite girl excitedly preparing for someone else's arrival, and Wade certainly doesn't either!

Because he was stunned to find out that Samantha seemed to have deliberately styled her hair today, straightening her colleague with curly long hair, cleverly covering the birthmark on the right side of her cheek with her hair, and even changing into a dress that only covered her knees before he had never seen before?

"Wade!"

"Or do you guess?"

Samantha didn't notice Wade's increasingly stinky face, and she didn't directly say who the person was, but she was just like a little girl, playfully asking Wade with a side face, and winked, which made her charm a little more plain.

“……”

Wade didn't guess, just stood silently and didn't speak, as if a big rock had been blocked in his chest.

"Hey~!"

"Actually, there's no one left, of course, it can only be the Dark Girl, the friend in our game!!"

After a big heartfelt smile at the other, Samantha Cook turned around and checked once again the things she had carefully prepared.

She has decided to treat the other party well, and then, after figuring out the identity and family background of the other party, if she can, she must try to invite the other party to join them and join them in this great cause that takes it as their mission to defeat and subvert the monopoly and tyranny of IOI's online creative company!

"Huh?"

"Who is it?!"

As if in disbelief, or perhaps not inaudible, Wade Watts confirmed again.

"That's little Annie! Anne Hasta! ”

"First place on the Easter egg standings!!"

Samantha Cook, who felt that Wade was a little odd, turned around and repeated, and looked her good friend up and down before turning around again in confusion.

“！！”

"Samantha, you really invited her here?!"

"Yes! Why not? ”

"But...... But we didn't know her, and she never gave us any information......"

"Wade, what do you want to say?"

"No ......"

"I don't mean anything else, Samantha, you know, we don't know anything about her, isn't it too dangerous to invite her (him) so rashly?"

"Maybe?"

"But after we discussed it, we felt that we could take that risk, anyway, we were already basically sure that she was definitely not with IOI, so that's fine!"

"Huh?"

"Am I wrong?"

"No, no, that's true, but ......"

Thinking about those rumors, thinking about everything a little girl player had done to IOI, Wade frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly, because he himself felt that the little girl was unlikely to be in the same group as IOI's guys, which can be explained by the way of behavior and the situation of trying to kill IOI several times.

"Wade ......"

"You say, if Anne were a big handsome guy, how nice would it be?"

Suddenly, at the thought that the other party was about to come here to meet her, Samantha couldn't help but feel a little nymphomaniac and want to be in trouble.

Because whether it is PK, PVE, or looking for Halliday's easter eggs, the skills shown by the other party are the top level in the 'Oasis', and a powerful guy like that is undoubtedly very able to attract Samantha's attention and make her inexplicably surge in favor.

“！！”

"Nope! You're wrong! ”

"As Edgey said, she's an ignorant little girl who never changes her appearance and just scans her 3D model to play!"

Wade, who didn't know why he felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart, suddenly opened his mouth and whispered to refute the other party's words, and became even more resentful and dissatisfied with the arrival of a certain 'little girl'.

"Won't it?"

"How did Edgey know that he hadn't seen Anne in person, what if Anne really was a handsome guy? Think about it, how could a little girl play better than us, or even the vast majority of players in the entire 'Oasis' game, and even played several games with the big guilds and the sixth person of the IOI, and finally managed to get out of it?! ”

As she spoke, Samantha became more and more sure that a certain 'little girl' must be more than just a little girl's thoughts, and that the other party would be a wise and courageous adult, even if not a handsome guy?

As for whether the other party is a man or a woman, she is really a little unsure.

“……”

I felt a little bitter in my heart, opened my mouth, I don't know why, Wade suddenly didn't want to speak, and had a faint premonition, feeling that today would definitely be an extremely bad day!

He suddenly wondered, if he saw that 'little girl' later, and found that the other party was really a handsome guy as Samantha thought, then should he go to the game by himself and stay out of sight?

You don't have to guess! ’

'I've brought her!' Come on in, they are waiting for you here, the great Lady of Darkness? ’

At this time, without waiting for Samantha and Wade to continue to speculate and argue, her subordinate, the bearded middle-aged Mediterranean tattoo uncle, suddenly came to this garden on the roof balcony, and after saying hello to the two, he waved directly behind him, and asked a certain 'dark girl' who was following him to come out and meet his old friends who had been waiting here for a long time?

As for their leader, Samantha Cook, who can still know the number one person in the 'Oasis', these people are also a little honored as subordinates! Of course, the only pity is that the other party's age may indeed be a little younger, and it also hit their self-confidence a little bit and make them feel a little more ashamed?

After all, so many adults can't seem to play with a little guy who doesn't look like he is ten years old, and it's really embarrassing to say it.

“……”

|˛˙꒳˙)？

"Hi~!"

‎(๑•̀▽•́ฅ)

"Hello all of you!"

（∩▽∩）

Actually, for Anne, it sounds a little embarrassing to meet the strange-looking Miss Artemis and the annoying Parsifal directly in the real material world, because she knows the two people in the game, not these two strange guys in the real world!

However, since she had come to the city, and since the other party was a kind invitation, she had to reluctantly accept the invitation, and teleported from the other side of the world with a 'whoosh'.

‘！！ ’

'My God! ’

'You...... You're really scanning your appearance directly......

Seeing a little girl who appeared not only looked exactly like in the game, but also didn't even have any changes in her clothes and the stuffed bear toy she was carrying in her hand, Samantha Cook was immediately shocked when she saw this, and then just stayed there dumbfounded.

Because it's really hard to accept...... She remembered that it was said that apart from the years when Oasis had just come out, it was rare for her to hear anyone dare to do it so blatantly and at the same time dare to cause trouble in the game!

'Wow! ’

'Really...... It's so nice!! ’

Unlike Samantha Cook, who was a little shocked, a little frustrated, and a little incredulous, a young man, Wade Waugh, suddenly became happy and energetic when he saw someone coming! Because he found that he suddenly had one less emotional competitor, and he didn't even mind that the other party stole the limelight from him and let Samantha's attention be taken away from him?

'Ahem! ’

Seeing that his leader seemed to be a little out of shape, the Mediterranean tattoo uncle who had led little Anne to the balcony on the roof of the building pretended to cough twice, and finally brought back the soul of a young girl who was wandering in the world.

"Ahh

"I'm sorry, Annie! I'm getting a little out of shape......"

"I really didn't expect you to be exactly the same as Edge's appearance, as you said you were in the game?"

"That really surprised me......"

"I'm Artemis, you can call me Samantha! This is Parsifal here, you can call him Wade, Wade Woz! ”

"Forget it, come here, we can eat and talk, I have prepared some things, and even wine...... Yes! Sorry, I guess you can't drink? ”

Samantha Cook, who had come back to her senses, hurriedly smiled and greeted her, and then pulled a harmless-looking and somewhat timid little girl over to the large table of food she had just prepared, ready to eat something, drink some tea, and then talk or something.

"And something to eat?"

‎|•'-'•)✧

"Great, people will definitely not be polite to you!!"

ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧

Seeing that the chic balcony garden was full of a large table full of food, Anne of course rushed over, and then reached out and grabbed something that she thought might be delicious.

"Hello!"

"Anne, it's a pleasure to meet you! I may have offended you a little during the game, I hope you don't mind too much? ”

Maybe it's because you're in a good mood, maybe it's because you see that the other person really doesn't have any 'threat' to you? Therefore, Wade showed a big smile very rarely, and then sat down opposite the other party generously, and just watched Samantha entertain the other party warmly.

"Uh-huh-hmm-hmm......"

(*⊙~⊙) Uh-huh!

Anne just blinked, then glanced curiously, and said with her eyes that she was eating right now, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the guy in front of her who she didn't seem to know much.

(Report!) Dear little master, there is a situation below...... ）

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

(Without waiting for a certain bad little master to finish the snack he caught, a certain bear Tiebs reminded her very uninterestingly.) ）

"Huh?"

∑(´△｀)？！

Anne was a little confused, she just came here to meet netizens, which is the kind of name called 'noodle base', why did she just come to Xiaoxiong and say that there was a situation? You know, she seems to have been very restrained lately, except for killing people and setting fires in the game, she hasn't provoked others or done anything bad in the real world, right?

Of course, nothing good has been done anyway......

“？？”

"Annie, what's wrong with you, isn't the food tasty?"

"Why don't you have a glass of juice?"

Seeing a little girl stop suddenly, Samantha thought that the other party didn't like the snacks, or was in too much of a hurry and choked, so she hurriedly picked up a large glass of freshly squeezed juice and prepared to hand it to the other party.

“！！”

"What?!"

Bang dang~!

It's just that, in the next moment, without waiting for her to figure out why a little girl stopped, and before she could hand the juice to the other party, she was frightened by the movement from the staircase and a group of people rushing out, and she exclaimed on the spot, and then the glass in her hand also slipped under her feet at the same time, and was directly smashed into a puddle of debris splashed with the juice.

'Huh?! ’

'Hah! Very good! It seems that all the people Nolan is looking for are here...... Handcuff me and take it away, act fast!! ’

It turned out that at this time, a certain woman with black hair and black leather clothes rushed up, followed by a group of fighters wearing Kevlar combat clothes and holding submachine guns in their hands, and they quickly dispersed and aimed their guns at the three people present and a certain Mediterranean tattoo uncle who had just been blocked from the staircase and was clenching his fists, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, let alone move.

“IOI？”

"You brought them here?!"

Seeing that such a person from IOI Company had come all of a sudden, and he was still fully armed and holding a weapon, Wade Watts, who felt a little desperate, immediately turned his head and roared at a little girl who was still in the mood to munch on snacks.

Yes, in Wade Watts' opinion, this little girl has just arrived on the front foot, and these IOI guys have come on the back foot, then, if the other party has nothing to do with IOI, then he will definitely not believe it!

“！！”

!？ (•''•۶)۶

"What's the matter with other people, people don't know them!!"

٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

Anne was first startled by being yelled at for some reason, and then retorted a little angrily to a certain annoying guy.

Sure enough, it's not unreasonable for her to hate this guy in the game, see? She didn't do anything at all, didn't say anything, and was inexplicably slandered by the other party!

"Annie?"

"You wouldn't really be IOI's guys, would you?!"

Hearing Wade's words, Samantha was also a little incredulous, and then looked at a little girl who seemed to be not worried at all, let alone afraid, with desperate and helpless eyes.

Judging from the other party's current performance, from the timing when those IOI guys appeared just right, Samantha was also faintly surprised, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter seemed to be related to the little guy who had just come here in front of her!

"People don't know them!"

٩(′～`●)۶

Really, who is she, Queen Anne? , You know, she has always liked to be alone in the game, and she never teams up under the dungeon in a fight! It's even more amazing in the real world, even if she can summon hundreds of millions of troops with a wave of her hand, she has always liked to wander around by herself, how could she take these ordinary people to security guards?

They are weak guys, they can blow away with a gust of wind, and they are not enough for their own bear to hit with one finger, so what's the use of carrying it!?

（…… ）

(„ಡ㉨ಡ„)

"No more nonsense!"

"Samantha Cook! Wade Watts! And ......"

"Anne Hasta?"

After watching his men immediately cuff the middle-aged Mediterranean man who seemed to be about to resist and Samantha Cook and Wade Woz, Zander, the IOI field director in a leather leotard and a pistol pinned to his waist, walked up to some little girl with a smile.

"Hah! Very good! I know you, you're exactly like the first person in the game, and the Dark Woman! ”

"Tsk!"

"Looking at you, a little girl worth more than 100 million bounties, I feel a little moved!"

"But forget it!"

Zander, who originally wanted to taunt the other party fiercely, suddenly patted her forehead in annoyance when she looked at the other party's pink and delicate and ignorant face, and felt that she didn't seem to be too serious with a child?

"Listen!"

"Samantha Cook and Wade Woz! Through the bank, IOI has just acquired and consolidated the debts of all of you, and you owe a lot of money to our company, and what penalties, late fees, and interest ......"

"So, you will be sent to the nearest IOI Loyalty Contractor Center to work for us at IOI until you pay off the debts you may never pay!"

"So, our arrest of you is lawful and just!!"

"As for you......"

After explaining the legality of the raid to the two second and third people in the standings who were so frightened that they couldn't speak in a smug tone that the IOI's field director, the woman, Zander, once again walked up to a little girl who was still sitting on a chair and munching on food.

“……”

"Forget it! Come with us, Nock will be happy to see you! ”

Zander didn't know what excuse she should use to explain to such a little girl the legality of her and the others coming here to sweep and arrest people, because she didn't find any identity information of the other party, and she didn't find out that the other party owed a bank or other financial institution's credit card and didn't pay anything, so she had to use the kidnapping method.

“？？”

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

"What are you going to do, let it go!!"

o(*｀ー´)o☇

Seeing that a certain annoying IOI security uncle wanted to grab his shoulder, Anne waved his hand, and then, the other party directly screamed miserably, flew out directly, and the gun in his hand also fell to the side, just like that, electric snakes twitched on the floor slab, and instantly lost the ability to move and speak.

“！！”

"You have an electric shock weapon on you?"

"I advise you to be honest and call out your weapons, or we're going to shoot!!"

Glancing at his hapless subordinate, he thought it was the other party's IOI field director Zander, who was carrying some kind of high-voltage electric shock self-defense weapon, directly pulled out the pistol on his waist, and then asked the others to join him, and pointed the automatic weapon at a little girl who was still trying to resist.

“！！”

"Are you crazy? She's still a kid!! ”

Seeing this, where did Samantha not know that Anne had just been wronged by her? Therefore, she didn't care about the two security guards who pressed her behind her, so she struggled so hard, and wanted to rush over to reason with that hateful woman.

"Kid?"

"Humph! She's not just a kid in the Oasis......"

"You know each other, don't you, I advise you to be honest with her, if you don't want us to shoot? You know I'm going to do that, Wade Watts, are you right? ”

After a few sneering sentences, Zaander, the head of IOI field, looked at a certain Wade Watts, who was already too frightened to speak, because she knew that after going through certain things, the other party had already deeply realized the determination they could make when they wanted to do something.

“？？”

"What?!"

However, Xander, the field director of IOI, was soon shocked to find that the weapon in her hand suddenly became hot for some reason, and then after she subconsciously threw away the pistol, she was stunned to find that all of them, including her, all the people in the IOI's security department had to throw away the weapons in their hands at this time, and watched the pistols and rifles levitate in mid-air, and melt and twist into a ball little by little?

"I said ......"

(✧◡✧)

"Have you ever seen one of those arcane archmages who can spell outside of the game? If not, you can take a closer look now!! ”

♆(⃔｀︶′)⃕↝

At this time, Anne slowly levitated like a small demon, and then, as if to create some kind of terrifying effect, a layer of raging flames was faintly burning on her body, making her look like a demon god descending from earth?

“！！”

"You, you ......"

"This can't be!!"

Holding his blistered palm, Xander, the field master of the IOI, widened his eyes at this time, and then muttered to himself in horror and disbelief at the little girl, at the sight that can only be seen in games.

"Nothing is impossible, because he is an archmage, and it is the same spell as the one learned in the game!"

(｡ •̀ꌂ-)✧

"Next time! If you dare to come here, they will burn you! And then burn down your headquarters building! ”

↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o☄

After reaching out and grabbing a ball of flame and threatening again, Anne waved her hand, causing all the opponents and the opponent's weapon men to slowly levitate, and then threw them all towards a large pond a few hundred meters away!

‘！！ ’

'Ahhhh!!h ’

'No!! ’

'Help!! ’

'Wow, ah!! ’

Puff~!

Puff~! Puff~!

Soon, as the sound of heavy objects falling into the water could be heard in the distant pool, and as the splashes calmed down, and as some heads began to stir on the water, Anne looked triumphantly at some of the two unlucky guys who were still handcuffed.

"Are you really that surprised?"

(“▔□▔)

"He's a serious arcane archmage, isn't it normal to know a little bit of magic?!"

(•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖°

（…… ）

(lll￢㉨￢)

‘……’

‘……’

Wade Watts and Samantha Cook, who were still handcuffed, subconsciously glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say except for the look of horror and surprise in each other's eyes.
