With the moment when the entire square fell silent, the red pattern covering the entire sky, the central part of it was like a huge drop of blood that was quite thick, slowly dripping downward. But instead www.biquge.info of dripping to the ground, the blood suddenly changed shape in mid-air. Appearing there was a giant nearly twenty meters tall and wearing a crimson cloak.

No, that's a bit incorrect. Because Lin Yiyan and the others were looking up from below, they should be able to see the face in the hat that was pulled very low - but there was no face in that part, the whole thing was hollow, and even the inside of the hat and the stitching part on the edge could be clearly seen. And inside the long drooping hem, there is also only a slight darkness.

Through the enlarged cuffs, you can see the pure white gloves. However, the sleeves and gloves are also clearly separated from each other, and the flesh is completely invisible. Then the left sleeve was slowly raised. On the heads of nearly thirty thousand players, empty white gloves spread to the left and right, and it felt like a faceless man opening his mouth, and then immediately a man's deep, penetrating voice came from far above.

"Welcome to Minecraft! My name is Akihiko Kayaba. is the only one who can control the world now! Kayaba Jingyan's words made Lin Yiyan secretly snicker, this is not a world that you alone can completely control! There's one more person who can do it!

"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 a problem with the game, it's the original version of 'swordartonline'. ”

“…… In addition, there is no way to stop or discontinue the operation of nervgear by an outside person. If anyone tries to do this—" The next paragraph, uttered slowly in the heavy silence of 30,000 people holding their breath, "—the microwaves emitted by the signaling components of the nervgear will destroy your brains and stop your life. ”

A brief silence followed, as if the other party had left this heavyweight message for everyone to chew on silently. And Lala, who was beside Lin Yiyan, looked at Lin Yiyan strangely, and asked Lin Yiyan curiously, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"What's wrong? I guess there are a lot of complicated ideas! Lin Yiyan thought for a moment and replied in an uncertain tone, "I hope this is a joke, not true!" I'm afraid that this is a real thing, so I'm worried that death will be lowered to myself in the next second! ”

"So just find the background program and change it a little?" Arala asked strangely, "But why didn't Yi Yan help them get out?" ”

"Well, not everyone has such a genius as you! You can change whatever you want! Lin Yiyan complained speechlessly, and then explained, "I want to too, but I'm worried that if we make too many moves, it will only lead to more deaths!" ”

"And! The most important point, Lala, you may not know, even if you can modify the background program, but there will definitely be very powerful monsters guarding the background program! Poison Island Tsuneko, who understands Lala's simplicity and kindness, said his thoughts and explained to Lala, "This kind of place where you can control the backstage, the producer of the game will definitely arrange a powerful boss to guard, otherwise anyone can change the world program!" ”

"That's it!" Lala nodded suddenly.

As Lala's words fell, an unusually abrupt voice sounded in the distance, "...... In principle, it's not impossible...... But I guess it's just a scare. Because as long as the power cord of the nervgear is unplugged, it will not be able to emit such high-power electromagnetic waves. As long as it doesn't have a large-capacity battery inside!! ”

As if he had heard what Klein was saying, Akihiko Kayaba above continued to hear his voice from above, "More specifically, the external power supply will be cut off for more than ten minutes, the network will be disconnected for more than two hours, and attempts to destroy the Nelvgear body or remove the fixed lock - only under these conditions will the brain destruction program be executed." And these conditions have been published in the outside world through the company and the media. By the way, at this point in time, there are already many family and friends of players who have ignored our warnings and tried to forcibly disarm nervgear, and the result is ......"

A loud metallic voice spoke of this place and took a slight breath.

"—Sadly, there are currently two hundred and thirteen players who have retired from the real world and Ayn Gruntree forever."

I don't know where the only scream sounded. On top of that, most of the players around them either can't believe it or don't want to believe it, with only a slight smile on their faces or a trance-like state.

Lala looked left and right, and finally quietly tugged on the sleeves of Lin Yiyan and Poison Island Ryō, and whispered, "It's so boring here, when can I go out?" ”

"Just wait until this person finishes talking nonsense!" Lin Yiyan also yawned boredly, always feeling that there was a lot of nonsense at the moment.

Fortunately, after a series of words, Kizuhiko Kayaba concluded, "There is no need for you to worry about your body in the real world. All the television, radio, and online media are now reporting on this situation and the situation where most of the victims appeared. Therefore, the danger of the nervgear being forcibly removed from your head can be said to have been reduced to a fairly low level. In the future, your body in the real world should be transported to a hospital or other facility for a two-hour disconnection buffer while wearing a nervgear, and then carefully cared for. We hope you can rest assured...... Just put your mind on the strategy game. ”

After a slight pause, Akihiko Kayaba continued to announce in his unsubdued voice, "However, I hope you will pay special attention. For all of you, Sword Art Online is no longer just a game, but another real world. Henceforth...... All resurrection functions will be removed from the game. So when the HP becomes zero, your characters will be wiped out forever, and at the same time, ...... Your brains will be destroyed by nervgear. ”

With all kinds of uproar and discussions, Akihiko Kayaba made a tempting new announcement, "There is only one condition that can liberate you from this game." It's just that I mentioned that reaching the highest level, the hundredth floor, of Ayn Grant, and then defeating the final demon king waiting over there. I guarantee that at that moment, all the surviving players will be able to log out of the game safely. ”

The 25,000 players in the audience all fell silent, and finally understood what Kayaba Akihiko really meant by "reaching the top of this castle" at the beginning. This huge floating castle with a hundred floors floating in the air, Ayn Grant completely attacked, and this is the purpose of Akihiko Kayaba.

At this time, the red cloak, which was always one step ahead of other players, moved his right hand lightly, and announced in a voice without any emotion, "Finally, let everyone see that this world is the only evidence of reality for you." In your inventory, there's a gift I've prepared. Please take a look. ”

With a series of electronic ringtone effects ringing in the square, everyone was curious to show this prop called 'holding a small mirror', and Lin Yiyan's side Lala and Poison Island Tsunza were also curious to put this mirror in their hands.

Looking at the plain makeup in the mirror, which was no different from herself, Lala muttered a little strangely, "What's the use of this mirror?" It doesn't seem to have any special effects, huh? Lin Yiyan, who was also holding a mirror in his hand, was also very speechless and said, "It's really useless!" Let's just give it to people! ”

"But the others seem to be very effective!" Poison Island Tsuneko pointed around, and the players who appeared around were suddenly enveloped in white light. In just two or three seconds, the light was gone, and everything was back to its original state.

It's not right to say that it is back to normal, although the player doesn't know what the white light that appears on his body does, but he can see that when the white light on the person next to him disappears, the vast majority of players who have been in the appearance of handsome men and beautiful women have disappeared, and what is re-displayed in front of the world is an ordinary face full of frightened expressions.

Even! Some tall and sexy beauties also exposed the true body of the big man with buckled feet, which made those male players who originally thought they had caught a beautiful woman just after entering the game couldn't help but gag for a while.

A few seconds later, when the white light in the plaza had faded, Kayaba Akihiko spoke again, "You must be wondering why now. Why did Sao and NervGear developer Akihiko Kayaba do this? Is this a large-scale terrorist act? Or is it a kidnapping case committed for ransom? ”

Akihiko Kayaba, who had no emotion at all in her tone before, continued with some emotion in her voice at this time, "None of this is my purpose. I can even say that I don't have any purpose or reason anymore. If you want to say why...... That's because for me, this situation is the end goal. Creating the world and watching it, that's why I invented Nervgear and created SAO. And now, all my goals have been accomplished. ”

After a brief period of time, Akihiko Kayaba's voice reverted to inorganic matter. That's it for the game description of Sword Art Online's official operation. Fellow players – good luck. The last sentence had some echoes and then vanished. The huge bright red cloak rose silently, starting at the tip of the hat, and gradually assimilated with the system message that covered the entire sky as if it were dissolving.

Its shoulders, chest, and limbs slowly sank into the blood-red water, leaving only a ripple to spread. Then, the message that filled the sky suddenly disappeared as it had appeared. (To be continued.) )
