Chapter 153: Prey

Light streamed in through several shutters on the surrounding walls, illuminating the space. You can see dark blankets and tents, as well as some intricately styled tables, chairs, cushions and sofa beds.

There are no electric lights, but there are wall-hung candlesticks with arabesques depicted on the walls......

Then there are the elegant vases and decorations, which feel slightly exotic but not entirely strange.

Although there is no modern feeling, it is extremely reassuring, especially looking out through the blinds, the afterglow of the dusk makes people feel relaxed and relaxed, and it seems that there are no worries left, only wonderful pleasure.

"Husband, is this true? …… We...... Will we live here in the future? ”

Looking at this strange and beautiful room, Yan Mu asked in a trembling voice, with a hint of disbelief.

"Well, yes, what's wrong? Ah Yun, don't you want to? ”

After looking around, and then walked over to clear the blinds, Yan Wenyao smiled.

"How could you not want to! I'm so willing, okay——!! His wife's face was full of joy, she was almost so excited that she wanted to scream, but she subconsciously bit her lip, "It's just this place...... This place! Are we really qualified to live in this place?! ”

The woman's face was filled with awe, and she sincerely felt that this city of miracles far away from the world was not a realm that mortals could touch.

Although she longed to stay here, as a woman with some tradition and superstition, she feared that her disrespectful behavior would anger the great gods here.

That's right, it's a god.

Because her knowledge was not enough for her to find other words, that is, more suitable words to describe-

From before to now, all kinds of sharp turns and sudden unfolding, the husband's words, and what he saw and heard along the way.

A mysterious world slowly unfolded in front of her eyes, the ancient picture scroll was magnificent, and the sacred immortal Buddha who had been worshiped and prayed for in the past may really exist in this world......

Women can only piece together such intuitive cognitions, but they are enough.

Very shocking, indescribable, like in a dream.

"What qualifications are there that are not qualified...... Yan Wenyao smiled, as if he was very disapproving, and dealt with the past vaguely, "Didn't you see that we were indeed back?" I said that your husband and I am an organized person. ”

Immediately afterwards, he looked around and let out a long sigh: "Finally back here, it's still the most reassuring ...... here" This is not a random house, but a house that belonged to him in his previous life.

However, the wife didn't know about it, but after hearing his exclamation, she was somewhat relieved, and it seemed that this was indeed the house where her husband used to be, and she didn't just find a vacant house and come in.

This made her more and more curious about her husband's past, and she made up her mind that she must ask for details tonight.

That's what the mother thought, and at this time, she also heard her daughter's excited shouts next door, and she seemed to be running around the house like crazy......

I can probably guess the girl's state of mind at this time, just like a little princess caught in the unfolding of a fairy tale, and the mother couldn't help but shake her head.

But soon, as if remembering something, the woman frowned: "Wait, if we stay here like this...... What do we do with our money out there? ”

There are still millions of net worth outside! Don't want it?

And most importantly, is it money or something here?

Yan Wenyao almost laughed out loud, his wife was actually worried about such a thing first? Then he shook his head helplessly, and while thinking about the organizational language, he explained it seriously.

However, his wife's previous worries are not unreasonable, he is actually unqualified, although he has passed the test in the dark, but his identity is also a black household, which is not legal.

But this is not a big problem, after all, the biggest hurdle has passed. The man remembers that during this time, the situation in the magic world in southern Europe was relatively chaotic, and all magicians, whether wild or domestic, were relocated en masse.

From a magic family that has been passed down from generation to generation, to a whole association, they have to move from the real world and into a dream-

It doesn't have to be to enter the city of the sunset, but more likely to ascend to heaven in situ...... Ah no, it's a phase shift. Originally, the base camp and various sub-bases were located in the real world, and they were hidden in various ways, such as charms, enchantments, and spiritual hints.

After the relocation, they were still in their original location in a sense, but they were already in a different space, as if they were shadows of the real area, more secluded and safer.

But the problem is also in this aspect, involving the relocation of the entire southern European magic world, it is impossible to complete it all at once, and some of the chaos caused by it is also an opportunity that Yan Wenyao can seize.

As long as there is a time difference, he should be able to fill the hole in his identity......

To illustrate an analogy, a man calls Bill Gates and says that he is a vice president of the World Bank and wants to marry his daughter. After succeeding, he contacted the World Bank and said that he was Bill Gates's son-in-law and wanted to take the position of vice president......

Although it is a joke, but the nature is relatively similar, what he has to do is basically to follow such a process, use the memory of his previous life and the advantage of foresight to seize this opportunity, and solve the problem of hukou for himself.

Of course, this can't be perfect, but as long as it can last for a while and is not screened out, it is enough.

What he has to do is to stay in the dark during this time, and try to seize all the opportunities and improve his strength without attracting special attention...... As long as sufficient ability and potential are shown before exposure, then all difficulties will be solved.

Very simply, if he really didn't cause any substantial damage and loss to those people, he showed enough value in itself.

- Then others choose to win over rather than do it directly, which is the most likely unfolding.

……

……

The void is boundless, and the darkness is infinite.

There is no up, down, left, right, or direction, far and near, and the size is unclear, there is nothing, only pure "existence".

If one could transcend all this, one would find an indescribable undercurrent entrenched in the darkness.

Like a giant octopus or jellyfish or something, the faint silhouette of a giant octopus or something as it swam through the dark and lightless ocean floor, it stretched out countless tentacles with its teeth and claws, extending to the end of parallel time and space.

Maybe it's an illusion, maybe it's true, but no one comes close to the truth at this time.

In this way, the chaos lurking in the void finally captured the specific location of his target once again.

It's as if in the endless dark depths of the sea, the outstretched tentacles of a huge monster grasp its prey.

That's a ......

"The World".

……

……

An ancient town located in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture.

Inside a room in an old Japanese-style building in the area where the old street is preserved.

A somewhat delicate-looking teenager is adjusting the STEM game pod in the room, preparing for the next thing...... That's an upgraded version of the NERvGear gaming device -

The original NERvGear was nothing more than a streamlined helmet that completely covered the head to the face, with countless signal components buried inside, and the helmet was directly connected to the user's brain through the complex electric fields generated by these components.

The STEM game pod, on the other hand, is the kind that encloses the whole body...... It feels like lying in an alloy coffin, but if you want Kiritani and people to say it, it's more like a bathtub.

And the official name is called "Coupling Cylinder",It's just that players have given them a new name according to the new version of the system they use.,After all, Coupling Cylinder or something.,Who would have thought they were related to the game?

What's more, the price of this thing is also very expensive, even if the government is promoting it at a loss as much as possible, but it's not the kind that ordinary people can decide casually-

The price is at a subtle level, and it belongs to the level that even the working class can afford, but it definitely has to be heart-wrenching. Generally, college students grit their teeth and save one after graduation, and it is estimated that they will really have to rely on instant noodles for most of the next half a year.

However, the government is indeed gritting its teeth and promoting, and no matter how low the price is, they can't afford it.

But even so, there are still not many people who buy it, and the price is an issue, and the consideration of safety is also an issue...... The SAO incident was not long ago, and now the aftermath is still unsettled, and if it weren't for the government's own leadership, the new next-gen games would not have been able to emerge at all.

But even if the government intervenes, it can't completely dispel people's doubts.

But the most strange thing is that many people are watching that and have doubts, but most of the previous victims have silently chosen the choice of re-entering another world.

Why? Maybe the government directly compensates the game pods for their victimized players, but the bigger reason is that they always feel ...... There is something that I have forgotten, and I have to find the answer.

- What did you forget?

- No one can know what is going on, or what is happening.

Kazuto Kiritani was also trying to think, but he couldn't remember, and like everyone else, after his mental state improved and recovered, he also forgot what happened on the day when SAO was shut down.

He felt that he remembered it and saw it with his own eyes, but in order to protect his fragile mind, he subconsciously forcibly forgot that memory.

However, we cannot just give up...... So he convinced his parents again.

Lying in the game pod, the boy activated the link program, and the next moment he felt that all the noise was moving away, and his vision was surrounded by darkness.

It was as if he was crossing the realm of time and arriving in another unknown dimension.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a huge city in the twilight.

Layer upon layer, like a miracle.

"I'm here......" The boy had already been shocked in the previous test, and now naturally he didn't have too many feelings, he just thought silently and strode forward.
