The Town of Initiation is a very large town that lives here

The PC moves according to a fixed pattern every day, and on top of that, there are a lot of players living in this place.

Walking on the streets of the town of Beginnings, Yui on Kirito's back looked around curiously, according to Kirito and Asuna, looking for any buildings that seemed familiar, but unfortunately, along the way, everything she encountered made Yui feel very strange.

There is no way, Kirito and they can only continue to look for it.

Looking at the empty sight in the town of Beginning, except

Outside the PC, it seems that there are not many players living here, and Asuna can't help but ask, "Now, Kirito, how many players live here?" ”

Kirito thought for a moment, "There are about 6,000 players still alive in SAO, and it seems that 30% of the players live here, about 2,000 people, including the army entrenched here." ”

Luo Tianhuan on the side added Kirito's words: "In addition to those in the army, some of the players who live here are old and weak people who have no combat ability and can't go to the field to level up, and some are cowards who are afraid of death and dare not fight. ”

In addition, Luo Tianhuan has now changed the white shirt of the swordsman in Nasao Bao and replaced it with the black casual clothes he usually wears.

As for why this happened, it was because along the way, Luo Tianhuan found that even if he changed his style and took the cool and elegant route, he was still not welcomed by his sister paper, and Kirito and Asuna had been looking at him with the eyes of ZZ, so he simply changed back to the clothes he usually wears.

"Two thousand......" Asuna frowned. But don't you think the current picture doesn't fit that number? Apart from

Outside of PC, there are very few players active in this town. ”

"Indeed......" Kirito fell silent, unable to figure out what the reason was.

"You forgot? It's ......the army that is entrenched here," Luo Tianhuan explained in a timely manner: "The army is a guild that often occupies the leveling place of ordinary players under the banner of players, and wantonly obtains some rare resources, I think, they are entrenched here, and they must also pay taxes to the players who live here, collect protection fees, etc., and the cost must be very high." Come to think of it, the players here basically don't have the ability to go out to level up, mainly relying on the relief of players like Achill and Argo to maintain basic daily expenses, and the army has to charge them protection money or something, so they should be hiding in the house, after all, without the permission of the owner of the house, others can't force in, or be forced to leave the town of the beginning and go to other places. ”

"Those people in the army, this is too much!" After listening to Luo Tianhuan's explanation, Kiriren and Asuna were indignant, they didn't expect the army to be so shameless and reckless, so they were very angry.

"Get the kids back!!"

At this time, an angry and anxious female voice came out of the alley on the side, which immediately attracted Luo Tianhuan's attention.

"Oh! The babysitter came on the scene, and it really made us wait for a long time. Immediately after, a male voice came out, with a hint of ridicule in its exaggerated tone.

Glancing at each other, Kirito immediately took the Yui on his back and ran into the alley with Asuna, Luo Tianhuan scratched his head and followed.

At this time, in the depths of the alley, a young woman stood anxiously in place, her long brown hair tied into braids, wearing a pair of glasses, a sword pinned to her waist, with a thick hostility in her eyes, and shouted to the few people who stopped her: "Give the children back!" ”

In front of the young woman, six men in uniform black and gray military armor stood there, all looking at the young woman in front of them with playful eyes.

Behind them, there were three children who looked to be about ten years old, about the same age as Yui, two Shota and a little Lori, all huddled together in fear, hoping that the young woman would save them.

For the young words, one of the middle people said as a matter of course: "Don't say such things that are easy to misunderstand, we are not robbers, we just teach these children some social knowledge, which is also one of the important tasks of being a member of the army." ”

The man next to him added: "Yes, yes, paying taxes is the obligation of citizens. ”

"Hahaha......" everyone else let out a happy laugh.

"Silver, Cain, Mina, are you over there?" There was a strong anger in the young woman's eyes, but she was more concerned about the situation of the three children, but because her vision was blocked by the six army members, she didn't know what the children were doing now, whether they were okay, which made her even more anxious.

"Sasha-sensei, help!" Lori, one of the three children, was scared and cried for help.

Judging from the sound of her voice, the young woman named Sasha knew that the children had not been harmed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the inside: "Don't worry about the money, leave it all to them!" ”

"Teacher, that's not enough!" A little Shota responded nervously, making Sasha slightly stunned.

A member of the army kindly explained: "Because you have been in arrears of taxes, you must hand over your equipment, including armor, all ...... from head to toe."

"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way, or else! Hearing this outrageous and unreasonable threat, Sasha gritted her teeth and rested her right hand on the hilt of her sword, ready to force her way through, although it was very likely that she would not be able to defeat these people, but she was even more reluctant to be ashamed of her conscience.

"Humph!" The army men snorted coldly, but then they saw two blurred figures rushing towards them at great speed, and then leaped over their heads and in front of the three children.

It happened so suddenly, Sasha and the army were stunned, staring blankly at the two people who suddenly appeared.

Kirito, who was carrying a yui on his back, turned around and stared vigilantly at the six army men in front of him to prevent them from suddenly attacking.

Asuna, on the other hand, bent down with her hands on her knees, and softly comforted the three frightened children: "It's okay, put on your gear." ”

"Hmm...... Hmm......" The children replied stunned.

Then, Asuna turned around and stared at the army with a careless gaze.

On the way, they heard the conversation between the two sides, and combined with what they saw, they knew that the six men used the three children to threaten Sasha and force her to pay her taxes, so they didn't give the army a good look, and even lectured them if necessary.

"Hey, hey, who are you?!"

"Do you want to hinder our army from carrying out its mission?!"

After coming back to their senses, the army could see that the two people wanted to meddle in their affairs, and they all shouted at each other.

"Wait......" One of them walked out, looked at Kirito and Asuna, and said, "You two look very raw, are you from another level?" ”

Kirito and Asuna were both slightly stunned, they couldn't imagine that there were still people who didn't know themselves until now, although it may be because they didn't wear iconic equipment, but they estimated that it was more likely that it was because the army was entrenched in the first layer of the starting town, mainly around this town, and belonged to the kind of people who "don't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages", so they don't know their identity.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, the man was furious, and seeing that the other party was wearing civilian clothes, and it didn't seem that the level was very high, he threatened sharply: "It doesn't matter if you are from other floors or not, but do you know what it means to go against our army!?" ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and raised it high, which, in accordance with his menacing tone, startled the children at once.

"Kirito, I'll leave Yui to you." With a hint of disgust in her eyes, Asuna stepped forward expressionlessly, and at the same time, a thin sword appeared in her hand, she pulled it out of its scabbard, and pointed its tip at those people, she had decided that she would teach them a good lesson.

"What? Still want to get your hands dirty? The member of the army who pulled out the sword and threatened Kirito and Asuna smiled disapprovingly, and shook the sword in his hand at will, until Asuna came to him, he didn't care, and he didn't take Asuna seriously.

Walking in front of the man, Asuna stabbed the thin sword out, and the sword emitted a dark pink skill light, and with a bang, the thin sword stabbed into the person's body, and the person was immediately knocked to the ground, covering the chest that was stabbed with both hands, clenching his teeth, and his face was hideous because of the severe pain.

Ignoring the man's appearance, Asuna stabbed her sword again, causing the man who had fallen to the ground to roll backwards and lie on the toes of the others, and the man couldn't help himself and let out a cry of pain, thinking that he was going to die.

Looking at the person who was howling, Asuna said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, in the circle, no matter what attack you receive, your HP will not be reduced, it will just have a knockback effect and make you feel pain, but I just want you to know the pain and know what to fear." ”

"Live...... Stop it! Hearing this, from the power of the other party's skills, that person knew that the other party's level was higher than anyone on this side, so he didn't have the courage to resist at all, and he didn't care about the pain, so he hurriedly got up, and fled in a hurry, hoping that he would have a pair of wings now and stay away from the demon in front of him.

Airplanes~~~~

The sound of activating the skill sounded again, and Asuna stabbed out again, knocking the man to the ground.

"Yes...... Damn it! "Since becoming a member of the army, when have you ever been embarrassed? The man gritted his teeth and hurriedly called the others to help: "Don't stand stupid, come and help!" ”

The others came back to their senses and wanted to deal with Asuna, but Asuna glanced at them coldly, and the power that they had formed over the years as the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights immediately made them lose the courage to resist.

"Hey, I'm sorry, it's not going to work."

But they just ran a few steps, they were blocked by a cold and beautiful "beautiful girl" dressed in black, if it was normal, they would definitely covet each other's beauty, but now they only want to escape, in a hurry, to the "beautiful girl" in front of them yelled: "Damn! Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite! ”

"Just the five of you and five scum, no, the scum whose combat strength is less than 1?" Luo Tianhuan put his hands in his pockets and walked forward, teaching these guys a lesson, he didn't need to make a move at all.

"Since you want to get out of here so much, then I'll give you a ride so that you can experience the taste of human missiles."

As soon as the words fell, those people were shocked to find that the "girl" who was originally in front of them suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared, and they all suspected that they were dazzled because they were frightened.

Bang bang!!

But the next moment, almost at the same time, the six men felt a pain in their backs, as if they had been hit by a large truck moving at high speed, and flew forward like cannonballs, each with an interval of no more than a second, so that they flew out of the alley without knowing what was happening, and slammed into the floor, passed out in pain, and fell sideways on the street.

"Call it a day." Luo Tianhuan faintly withdrew the right foot that was kicked out, and turned around and walked towards Kirito and them.

"That's amazing, big sister, you guys are amazing!"

"I'm still such a great person."

"It's so handsome!"

The children's minds are simple, and when they saw that the crisis was resolved, after they reacted, they immediately surrounded Luo Tianhuan and Asuna, shouting excitedly.

"Thank you very much." Sasha also walked over and thanked Luo Tianhuan and Asuna.

"Uh...... That, huh? Excuse me, where did you get these glasses? Luo Tianhuan just wanted to indicate that he was a male gender, but after discovering the glasses on Sasha's face, he was immediately excited, could it be that there is such a device as glasses in this world?

"Well, I had it when I first entered the game, because I don't have good eyesight in reality." Although I don't know why the other party is so excited, Sasha still answers the other party's question first.

"Oh......" Luo Tianhuan was disappointed, and thought about it, at the beginning, SAO was able to restore the basic situation of each player, that is to say, she is myopic in reality, and she is also myopic in the game, so Kayaba Jinghiko specially equipped glasses for players with myopia?

Luo Tianhuan felt that this might be the case.

"How? Mom and uncle are amazing, right? Looking at Luo Tianhuan and Asuna, Kirito said to Yui with a smile.

"Huh?" Looking at the children's laughter, Yui seemed to remember something, turned her head, and stared blankly at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Kirito also turned his head and asked.

"Everyone's ......" Yui held out her hand to the sky as if she wanted to touch something, and a painful expression gradually appeared on her face. Everyone's heart...... Everyone...... Everyone's ......"

"Yui, what's wrong?" Although I don't know what's going on, Kirito is anxious when he sees Yui starting to get painful.

"Yui, do you think of anything?" Noticing Yui's unusual appearance, Asuna hurried over.

"I ...... I...... I wasn't here before...... Staying alone in the dark all the time...... "Yui withdrew her hand and curled up on Kirito's back, Kirito could feel that Yui was trembling, trembling with fear.

"Ahhh!!hhh

Suddenly, Yui, who had just heard something, screamed in pain, and her eyes were out of focus.

At the same time, a "zizzle" noise sounded, like the sound of a radio that could not receive a signal, but the decibels were very loud, and it sounded directly next to everyone's ears, so that everyone present subconsciously covered their ears with their hands.

I'll go!

Luo Tianhuan covered his ears, but this sound was extremely penetrating, even if he covered his ears, it was useless.

Kirito also wanted to cover his ears, but because Yui was on his back, he couldn't pull his hand back, so he could only endure it, showing a very uncomfortable expression.

The sound came and went so quickly that in just three or four seconds, the cacophony and cacophony disappeared.

Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going? What am I going to do?

Under the bombardment of this strong sound wave, Luo Tianhuan's brain was dizzy, completely blank, and then, he couldn't help but think about the great philosophical three questions, and, on this basis, he also raised the fourth question: What should I do?

His confused eyes revealed the meaning of vicissitudes, and those eyes were so thorough, as if he had fully understood the true meaning of life.

Mystery Voice: This is so simple to ask the fourth question, Socrates will cry! The strong earth is about to be unable to suppress his old man's coffin board, and his soul is faint!

"Yui!" After the noise disappeared, Kirito and Asuna ignored their dizzy heads and hurriedly checked Yui's condition, only to find that Yui had passed out, with a trace of pain in her expression and a frown.

"Yui ......" Asuna painedly straightened the bangs in front of Yui's forehead, looking at her pair of wrinkled brows, she was about to cry.

"Just ...... What the hell is going on? Looking at Yui, Kirito frowned, that noise was obviously unusual, did this have anything to do with Yui?

It's a pity that among the people present, no one can answer his question, not even Luo Tianhuan can't say why.

After sobering up her brain, Luo Tianhuan estimated that it might be because she saw the children's laughter, Yui's heart was touched, and she remembered a little memory, but because her own disordered program had not yet recovered, Yui was extremely painful, and even had some subtle effects on the world, and the embodiment of this effect was the noise just now, just like an old computer stuck because of insufficient running memory, and made a rustling sound.
