Chapter 171: Afterword
More than two months after the end of SAO, a group of people with good relationships, such as Kirito, Asuna, Klein, Sirika, Keita, Yuki, and Liz, who had recovered almost well, held an offline party in the tavern run by Akyll, and everyone present laughed and had a good time, and the whole tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
It's just that Kirito, who was sitting at the bar, looked at the cheerful scene in front of him and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong? Sad. Achill asked, handing Kirito a glass of juice.
"It's nothing, I just feel that someone is missing, I always feel weird, and I'm not used to ......" After speaking, Kirito sighed regretfully again.
"Is it Luo Tianfan?" Asuna on the side put her left hand on Kirito's right hand to soothe him.
"Hmm......" Kirito nodded.
"Hey, isn't it, you haven't found him for so long?" Klein, who heard the conversation, wondered.
"Is something wrong?" Keita, who followed Klein, frowned.
"The main thing is that he seems to have disappeared, and he can't find it no matter how you look for it." Kirito rubbed his temples in annoyance.
"Huh? It can't be, right? Klein first expressed disbelief.
"Do I need to lie to you? What I said is true......" Kirito took a sip of his drink and said slowly, "I inquired about the information of the Celestial Illusion from the person in charge of the SAO Countermeasures Headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on the condition of providing information within the SAO, and I also knew which hospital the Celestial Illusion was in and where it lived, but before that, the person in charge had already investigated the information of the Celestial Illusion, but ......"
After a pause, Kirito said in a deep voice: "On the day that SAO ended, Tianhuan suddenly disappeared from the hospital where he was, and even the people in the same ward with him didn't find out how he disappeared, and when the person in charge investigated Tianhuan's address and found the door, they found that the building was already empty......"
"Suddenly gone?" Klein swallowed, an expression of disbelief. "It can't be so evil, can it?"
"The more evil is still to come...... Kirito shook his head with a wry smile, took out the computer he carried with him, and after turning it on, opened a video.
The video footage is a crowded hallway, and it is known from the white coats and nurses' uniforms worn by most of the crowd that this is a hospital.
"It's ......," Yuki's voice came.
Kirito looked back, and because he opened the video, he attracted other people, making everyone else who was originally playing around curious.
After patiently explaining what had happened to the others, he played the video from the beginning again and asked, "This is the video I got from the person in charge of the SAO countermeasures headquarters, did you find anything?" ”
Almost everyone shook their heads blankly.
"This is surveillance video from the floor of my hospital room......," Asuna said.
"Also, look at this person...... Kirito rewinds the video and freezes the frame at a certain point, pointing to a figure wearing big thick eyes and wearing a black casual suit. Did you find anything? ”
"Hmm......" Liz muttered for a moment, shaking her head. Don't you see anything? ”
"That'......," Klein nodded in agreement. Just an ordinary person who looks very ordinary, even more ordinary than me, what's so special? ”
Achill thought about it seriously: "The only thing special is that his sense of existence is particularly weak, if you don't point him out, I won't notice him at all." ”
"Don't you think he looks like someone?" Kirito asked patiently.
"I see!" Just when everyone else was at a loss, a little girl's voice rang out. "It's Uncle Luo Tianhuan!"
"Well, that's right." Asuna touched Yui's little head.
But everyone was not surprised by Yui's existence, apparently knowing that Yui appeared in the real world for a long time.
“!” Everyone was taken aback, and they all showed a look of hell.
"No...... No way...... This...... This man is ...... Luo Tianhuan ......, "Because I was too surprised, Qi Tai stammered when he spoke."
"I know you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first, but I'll show you a show......" Kirito said, taking a screenshot of a picture in the video, and after a series of processing, the figure in the picture became clearer, and then, Kirito took off the glasses on the figure's face through PS technology, and for a moment, the uninformed people were shocked again.
"Really...... It's really Luo Tianxuanye......" Liz was dumbfounded, her mouth open enough to fit a fist.
"The point is here, you look at the time......" Kirito pointed to the time of the video. On the day that SAO ended, only three or four hours later, he not only suddenly disappeared from the hospital, but also appeared in the hospital where Asuna was. ”
"Impossible, right?" Sirika's eyes were about to pop out. "How is it possible to suddenly get out of the hospital and walk around immediately without recuperation? Also, how did Brother Tianhuan know which hospital Sister Asuna was in? ”
Kirito shook his head, continued to play the video, and continued: "You see, Celestial Illusion walked into Asuna's hospital room, and it didn't take long for Shinyuki Sugo to run out, first terminating human experiments, then logging into ALO's account, entering the game, releasing Asuna, and doing that kind of thing in the game, and finally returning to reality and surrendering." ”
"In other words, the reason why Sugo Shin found out in his conscience was because of the Heavenly Illusion?" Yuki's eyes widened.
"Since there are no surveillance cameras in the ward, I don't know ......" Kirito shook his head helplessly again. However, it is absolutely inseparable from the heavenly illusion. ”
"And ......" looked at Yui, and Kirito continued: "According to Yui, when Celestial Illusion left, Yui had already appeared in Asuna's hospital room, and I also saw the figure of Celestial Illusion, that is, Celestial Illusion turned Yui into a real person. When I learned about it, I was immediately in my Ne
veGea
The program to find Yui in the helmet, after all, the program of Yui was transferred to my Ne before the Heavenly Illusion
veGea
I got in the helmet, but I found that the program was missing. Also, Asuna and I also found a time to do a physical examination of Yui, and the results showed that Yui was no different from a normal human. Now Yui lives in Asuna's house, and in order to make her family accept Yui's existence and deal with Yui's identity, Asuna has been wasted for a long time. ”
"Finally...... Kirito raised the volume of his speech slightly. The person in charge of the SAO countermeasures headquarters also told me that they had conducted a thorough investigation of Luo Tianhuan's identity, and it turned out that all the identity data about him was fake, and it was impossible to investigate his true identity at all, as if he did not exist in this world, it appeared out of thin air, and even they could not determine whether Luo Tianhuan was his real name. ”
Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Achill, who was the oldest and had a strong psychological receptivity, said tremblingly: "Suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared in the hospital where Asuna was, and also made Sugo Nobuyuki surrender, and turned Yui-chan into a real human, and finally you also told me that all his identity data is forged, and this person does not exist in the world, could it be that he is a ...... God? ”
Kirito shook his head again: "I know you all have a lot of questions, and in the same way, I have a lot of questions, but unless you let Tianhuan explain these questions on the spot, otherwise, you may not be able to find the answers for the rest of your life...... Perhaps, just like Achill said, he may really be a god, a god who came to save us from SAO, otherwise he wouldn't be so powerful, and he wouldn't have been able to change Yui, and it would have been impossible for these strange things to happen......"
"If he really is a god, then he has now left us, left this world, and returned to his rightful place, right?" Yuki's expression darkened.
"Luckily ......" Lizzy wanted to say something comforting, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only gently pat Luck's shoulder.
Seeing this, everyone sighed softly, because they could all see that although on the surface, Xing treated Luo Tianhuan the same as an ordinary friend, but in fact, Xing has been hiding her true feelings, but because of her character, she always buried this emotion in her heart, and did not dare to express it, originally hoping that after returning to reality, she could contact for a period of time, and then find an opportunity to summon up the courage to express her heart to Luo Tianhuan, but unfortunately, now Luo Tianhuan is no longer there......
"It's okay......" Maybe he didn't want to make everyone depressed because of his own reasons, but Xing smiled: "I already knew that I wasn't from the same world as him, so it really doesn't matter......"
Does it really matter?
The answer is self-evident, and everyone else can see that Xing is forcing a smile, but it is not broken.
"Ahhh It's annoying! Klein clutched his hair irritably. It's a good party, it's so unhappy, I really want to drag Luo Tianhuan here now, and make him pay the price for his resignation! ”
"Be careful not to be taught a lesson." Achill laughed and teased, but everyone couldn't laugh......
Kirito took a deep breath, lifted his spirits, and said: "Okay, Tianhuan told me that there is no banquet in the world, so what should be separated is still separated, since Tianhuan has gone back to the place where he belongs, then, we should also continue our lives, don't let a party become so dull." ”
"That's right......" Asuna nodded in agreement.
Although under the persuasion of Kirita and Asuna, everyone's faces showed smiles again, and they continued to happily party, but Luo Tianhuan was not there, they always felt weird, and their hearts felt more or less heavy.
Thank you......
At this moment, the only thing everyone wanted to say to Luo Tianhuan in their hearts was this sentence......
