Chapter 5: The Game of Death, Cruelty Begins

"It's almost time to rest. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Gu Xuan watched the time at 17:00 in the afternoon, and there was still half an hour before the original book could not be logged out and turned into a death game.

He and Isaac also reached level 3 at the same time, and even if they diligently slaughtered the Friends of Humans for half an hour, the experience points would not increase much. Because the level of the Manic Boar is Lv1, the higher the player's level, the lower the experience provided by the low-level monsters.

The first layer of Ayn Grant has various monsters such as boars, wolves, worms, beetles, and wasps, which are enough for players to rise to more than ten levels. By the way, when the original book attacked the first layer of the boss, the level of Kirito, the son favored by the roots of the world, was level 12.

Generally speaking, the security level corresponding to each layer of the strategy can be increased by 4 or 5 levels, that is, about level 6 has the ability to raid the first layer of the boss.

But the average level of the strategy group in the original book is 10 levels, and the strategy process is often as long as 28 days! Probably this is the time that human beings endure in the face of crisis changes!

"Gu Xuan, why do you seem to know this copy very well?" Isaac asked curiously, tucking his one-handed straight sword into its scabbard.

Hear about Sord Art Online's reaction to the game at Comic Con, buy a helmet and get information, and choose a location in the hospital. It was really everything Gu Xuan did, as if he knew what was going on in the unknown.

"As you can imagine, I do know this copy world."

Gu Xuan also put the curved knife into the scabbard, and continued as he walked: "The main god envoys were all chosen by the main god paradise after death, right?" And then it just so happened that the world before I died, there was this dungeon world as the plot. ”

"Is there such a thing? I've never heard of other Lord God Messengers who have information about the dungeon world before they die. ”

"Really?"

Looking at Isaac's shocked appearance, Gu Xuan rubbed his chin and thought deeply. He wouldn't have the idea that he was special, or that he was lucky enough to be chosen by the Lord God Paradise to be the messenger of the Lord God.

In his opinion, he is more like being chosen. Thinking back to the question he asked to the Lord God Paradise at the beginning, why was he chosen by the Lord God Paradise?

Shaking his head and not thinking about it, when his strength becomes stronger and his level gets higher and higher, these doubts will definitely be answered, and now he has to solve the huge crisis of the purple army.

"Let's go, there are still ten minutes left, I'll take you around."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xuan and Isaac returned to the city of origin. By the way, the materials obtained from killing wild boars are sold and some medicines are purchased.

"This is the Black Iron Palace."

"Is there anything peculiar about this place?" Isaac asked, puzzled.

As the name suggests, the Black Iron Palace is a huge building composed of many black and shiny iron pillars and iron plates, and the air inside is obviously much colder than outside. For this reason, and the fact that there is no ornamentation for several black iron pillars, there is no player in the Black Iron Palace.

"When the quest starts, this world will be a game of death for Indigenous players who are not outsiders to us. Their death in the game is real death, and the name of the person who died will appear on the black iron plate. Of course, it also serves as a prison, where players with orange and red names are imprisoned. ”

"Orange and red?"

"Yes, Isaac, you said that this game becomes a death game that can only leave the world after completing 100 floors, what kind of people will appear?"

"A degenerate who has escaped from the shackles of the law and gone to murder?" Isaac replied thoughtfully.

"Correct."

Gu Xuan snapped his fingers, the killing organization of the Smile Coffin was composed of such players.

He quickly stepped forward and touched the cold iron plate, which was cold to the bone marrow, and his expression became solemn and continued: "So in this copy of the Legion War Mode, it is destined that we must also kill like red players. Although the person who kills is the messenger of the hostile Lord God, killing is killing people, and killing means having the preparation to be killed. ”

Isaac in the distance trembled, feeling the Ling Ran killing intent rising from Gu Xuan in front of him, such a substance actually made him feel fear in his heart.

"I don't want to leave my name on this black iron plate, I guess you too, right?"

Isaac nodded solemnly.

"Then abandon everything, even if the sinful unscrupulous, we must be victors!"

The two looked at each other in silence, and the time came to 17:30.

......

"Clank!"

"Clank!"

Like the dull bell of Big Ben striking punctually, resounding throughout Ayn Grant, gradually the bell became an alarm in the ears of the two who were speechless, and this sound symbolized the cruel beginning of this game.

At the same time, two faint and hazy rays of brilliance appeared on their respective bodies, and their vision was all obscured by the halo. Isaac was told by Gu Xuan not to do the useless work of trying to break free.

Then the light burst brightly, and he forced his eyes to close. When they opened their eyes again, the two were teleported to the plaza with all the other players.

As far as the eye can see, the familiar marble floors, the surrounding street trees, and the dashing medieval streets. In the distance, there is also a huge palace that glows black. This is the original central plaza when the player lands.

"What's going on?"

"I can't log out!"

"Me too, I still have something to do in reality?"

10,000 players were silent for a few seconds before falling into a panic, restless and noisy, 10,000 players gathered in one place, and the loud roar can be imagined, almost blowing up the eardrums. But these actions will not change the fact that they cannot log out and are terrified.

Suddenly, at the bottom of the huge second layer in the sky, a blood-like bright red checkerboard-like pattern gushed out from its plane.

Such a spectacle instantly attracted the attention of all the players, and they all raised their heads sharply and were eager to get a response. In fact, the bright red is the response, but the response is not hope but despair.

The bright red pattern quickly covered the entire sky, and the eerie scarlet shone on each player's face, making their faces more and more suspicious.

And in the very center, just above the square, a thick drop of blood condensed, and the blood droplet did not fall but turned into a creature wearing a scarlet hood, faceless and bodyless, as if there was no existence in the hood, just like the god of death in the movie.

"Fellow players, welcome to my world."

A deep and penetrating man's voice came from the hood, and a heavy sense of oppression was added to everyone's hearts.

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and I'm the only one who can control this world right now." Probably because they were so shocked, the players around them became silent again.

"I think you've all noticed that the logout button disappears from the main menu. But that's not what's wrong with the game. I repeat it again. It's not that there's a problem with the game, it's the original version of Sord Art Online. From now on, you won't be able to log out of the game until you reach the top of the 100th floor of the castle. ”

"What a joke!" "I still have something to do, let's log out!" Words like these rang out in the crowd again.

"From now on, you won't be able to log out of the game on your own until you reach the top of this castle. In addition, there is no way to rely on an outside party to stop or deactivate the operation of NERvGear. If anyone tries to do that......"

However, Akihiko Ashiba ignored it, and continued to elaborate as if it were a fixed document: "The microwaves emitted by the signal component of the NERvGear will destroy your brains and stop your life activities. ”

Destroying the brain, it is obvious that no one can survive in this situation. In other words, the external method of stopping the helmet operation is equivalent to death!

"It's a shame that there are currently two hundred and thirteen players who have retired from the real world and Ayn Grandrie forever."

Two hundred and thirteen people died, and the bloody reality made all players close their eyes in fear. After all, this number is not small among 10,000 people, so when Akihiko Kayaba said this, you could see players dying all over the square, turning into glass and shattering into crystals.

These games die and the player may return to the real world? No one would have such a ridiculous fluke.

At the same time, the cold sound of the main god paradise update quest also echoed in Gu Xuan and Isaac's minds......
