Chapter 5: Cruel Rules

The entire 10,000 players in the entire square were silent, staring blankly at the red cloak suspended in the air, and did not react for a long time.

"Forever...... ...... stay here? ”

I don't know who muttered such a sentence, which made one player after another show a blank expression, as if the world was over.

Akihiko Aoba's words were incomprehensible to everyone in the square.

No.

It should be said that they have understood, but their brains are resisting the meaning of these words.

The whole square became extremely silent, and even the sound of breathing stopped, showing an indescribable dead silence.

At this time, Ginryukin finally understood the meaning of the words that Kayaba Jinghiko asked him that day, and finally understood why he was uneasy at that time.

Yin Liuyan knew that next, his amiable Brother Jingyan's words would definitely make everyone present feel an emotion.

That is despair, the desperation that comes with suffocating cruelty.

"I know you won't understand what I'm saying, but that's okay, you just need to realize one thing, and that's that for you, this world is no longer just a game, it's another real world."

Kayaba Jinghiko ruthlessly pronounced the sentence.

There are three things you need to be aware of. ”

"One: From now on, the game will cancel all resurrection functions, so the moment your HP becomes zero, your characters will be wiped out forever and will never appear again."

"Two: When your character dies, wear the NERvGea on each of your heads

>> The game helmet will emit microwaves at the moment of your death, burning your brains. ”

"Three: Please don't take chances, this game has already begun, and no one will be able to stop, once someone from the outside tries to forcibly stop or remove the NERvGea you are wearing

The signal component will also emit microwaves that will destroy your brain, and even if the external power supply is cut off for more than 10 minutes, the network will be disconnected for more than 2 hours, or you may try to destroy the NERvGea

〉 of the body, brain destruction program will be executed. ”

"These conditions have been published in the outside world through the media."

"Presumably, your body in the real world will be wearing 'NERvGea'

In the case of a two-hour disconnection buffer, they will be moved to a hospital or other facility and carefully cared for. ”

"The only regret is that the 213 players who didn't listen to the advice and were forcibly taken off by their families. They've disappeared from the real world and SAO, and my family won't do anything stupid anymore, so you're safe. ”

"And the only condition that can free you from this game is to "reach the 100th floor of Ayn Grant and defeat the final "boss" there."

"At that time, you will be able to fully tackle this game of death, and all the players who survive will be able to log out safely."

"These are the rules of this world, and I hope you can remember them."

Akihiko Kayaba, who explained the so-called "rules" in one breath, continued to speak in an emotionless voice before everyone had time to react.

"In order to make you realize that this is not a joke, I will give you a special gift, which is in your inventory, please materialize it."

This sentence just fell from Akihiko Kayaba's mouth, and all the players below subconsciously did so, stretched out their hands in unison, and swiped directly downwards to draw out the game menu.

Silverware did the same.

He opened his inventory and saw an item displayed at the top of the list of items.

The prop is called "Holding a Small Mirror". Silver Rites

To be sure, this is a prop that I never got before. And he didn't know that there was such a prop. Obviously, this was secretly made by Akihiko Kayaba.

Then, without hesitation, Ginryo clicked on it, and selected the "materialize" button from the window that appeared.

Then, with a burst of light, a small mirror appeared in Yinliu's hand.

Yin Liuyan looked into the mirror.

Right in this moment.

A much brighter and more dazzling light enveloped the silver glaze, as well as all the players present.

Yin Liuyan subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Yin Liuyan was stunned.

Because, what appeared in the mirror was not the face shape that Yin Liuyan carefully fabricated for himself, but the silver hair and silver eyes with a little lazy, which made him extremely familiar with his face.

It's exactly what Ginryo looks like in the real world.

Yin Liuyan subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

I saw that everyone's faces had changed, and so did Klein and Kirito.

"This ...... What's going on!? ”

"Liarious!?"

"You...... Who are you!? ”

"Who are you?"

One by one, the knowing players let out a wail one after another.

I saw that not long ago, the players who looked like beautiful men and women who could appear in the fantasy world all disappeared, replaced by extremely ordinary faces, and even the height was reduced a lot compared to before, which reduced the appearance level of the whole game I don't know how much, and also made the atmosphere of the game disappear completely, leaving only a cruel and cold reality.

Obvious......

"Have you all reverted to what you look like in reality?" Yin Liuyan muttered. Jean Kirito and Klein also discovered this fact.

Akihiko Ikeba made a cheerful voice as if he was laughing.

"In that way, you can more or less believe that this is not a "game" but a "reality", right?"

After saying that, Akihiko Chewba threw down the cruel words.

"Well, the virtual reality massive online role-playing game Sword Art Online (Swo

"This is the end of the game description."

"Fellow players, I wish you all the best of luck with this Ayn Grant as soon as possible."

"It's a game, but it's not a joke."

With such a sentence, the bright red giant cloak gradually disappeared, causing the patterns in the sky to disappear and return to its original appearance. As if nothing had happened.

And above the square, the dead silence is still pervasive.

And then......

"Let me out! Let me out! ”

When the first player let out such a wail, it was like a chain reaction, and all the players erupted.

"Let me out!"

"Get me out of here!"

"I don't believe in ......! I don't believe there is such a ridiculous thing......! ”

"It's just a game!"

"It's just a game!"

"Let us out!"

"Don't!"

The tsunami-like noise shook the air throughout the square.

For a moment, all the players fell into an unprecedented panic, all kinds of voices mixed together, screaming, roaring, screaming, scolding, pleading, crying, and the originally peaceful square could no longer be silent.

"Bang!"

The small mirror was crumpled into pieces, and its durability plummeted to 0, and the polygonal fragments shattered in an instant.
