In the midst of this noise, Kirito patted Klein on the shoulder and whispered, "Come with me, Klein." ”

Before he could react, Klein was pulled away from the square by Kirito. Without alarming anyone, the two came to a small alley around the square.

"Listen carefully, I'm going to the next village soon, and you can come with me." Ignoring Klein's doubts, Kirito said in detail, "If what that guy said is true, if you want to survive in this world, you can only continue to strengthen yourself." ”

"The resources that VRMMORPG provides, i.e. the amount of money and items we can obtain, are limited. The area around the Initiates will soon be hunted out. In order to level up effectively, it is better to use the next village as a stronghold now. ”

As Kirito explains, the map in the menu shows that the two red dots representing the village are connected by a route.

"I know the path and the dangerous location, and I can reach it safely at Level 1."

"But...... However, I stayed up late with my fellow gaming companions to get this game. They should be in the square, I can't leave them behind. Klein understood Kirito's thoughts, but he couldn't really leave with Kirito because there was a reason why he had to stay.

Only Klein's words, but if you add two more...... No, the words of one person......

"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you anymore. So don't care, go to the next village. Seeing Kirito's hesitant and tangled face, the enlightened Klein refused with a smile, "I was also a guild leader in the last game. With the skills you taught me, I should be able to handle it. ”

After a long silence, Kirito whispered, "Really...... Then we'll separate here, send me a message if there's something. ”

"Oh!" Klein replied in a loud voice, seemingly without the slightest hesitation or displeasure.

"So...... Goodbye, Klein. Just as Kirito turned around, Klein shouted, "Kirito! ”

Kirito didn't turn around, and Klein didn't know what to say, but the final goodbye was, "...... Hey, Kirito, I didn't expect you to look pretty cute. ”

"I like it."

"Your down-and-out samurai face is also very suitable!"

After the two said goodbye with smiling faces, Kirito ran out of the alley. After only a few steps, Kirito stopped his steps, and behind him, there was no longer Klein's figure.

A tear, a tiny fragment of light in the air, disappeared into the air.

Just as Kiritto turned to leave the alleyway, a light Lori voice sounded, "Klein is a fool, but it's enough for me to respect him." Because he thinks he has something he has to do, even if he gives up the perfect opportunity that is in front of him, and that's exactly what he does. ”

"Well, what about you, Kiritani and Ito."

Being told what had just happened, and even being handed over his real name. Kirito, who was surprised, braked sharply, and after rushing out of the alley a few meters away, stopped and turned around.

A small Lori is leaning against the wall at the mouth of the alley, looking at Kirito with no emotion on the surface.

"Who are you?! Why do you know ......"

Wearing a black gothic skirt, with blood-red eyes and a straight black ponytail, the corners of Lori's mouth were slightly upturned~ and said flatly: "It doesn't matter who I am." And you should know my name, but you don't remember it now. ”

"I should know, your name? ……”

Although what this Lori said,It should be unbelievable to himself.。 But for some reason, I vaguely feel in my heart that I should actually know each other, although not friends or the like, but also not unknown strangers.

However, Kirito still can't remember, or he doesn't remember for a while, who the other party is.

"You probably don't have any big ideas yet, or what you have to do and must do."

"I'm not going to say anything about that, because it's normal, after all, it's just getting started. Only by facing life and death can human beings understand their hearts. ”

"As a friend of the past and possible future, Kirito. Take this as my advice, no matter what you want to do in the future, you must have enough strength to do it. ”

"For there are only two kinds of evil, and no power is original sin."

Just when Kirito was in a daze because of what Lori said. This strange Lori,Just turned around and walked into the alley.,By the time Kirito reacted and chased after him.,It's completely gone.。

"No power, is it original sin? ......" whispered the last words of the lori, and Kirito shook his head, leaving the rest of his mind behind for a moment.

Although it is possible that the identity and name of the other party are not known in the end, there is nothing wrong with what the other party said.

No matter what you want to do, you must have enough strength. So, what should be done next, needless to say.

Goal, next village, go!

Watching Kirito stab in the middle of the run, he directly killed a wild wolf on the path, and Ellie, who was standing on the gatehouse of the town, asked, "Is this really good?" ”

"What's wrong?" In the shadows behind Ellie, Yukikaze leaned against the wall with her arms folded.

"Our existence should be a 'mystery' hidden in the back of the world, and we are also the most mysterious and special existence in this game. Just stand out so generously, okay? ”

"That guy is the protagonist of this plane." Xue Feng smiled softly, "I don't think this guy with all kinds of bonuses in the plane will always be unaware of our existence, even if we have the intention to hide it, it probably won't be of any use." ”

"And this guy isn't much of an enemy. Didn't I say that the other party was and could be friends in the future? ”

"In the future, we will have a lot of contact with him."

Xue Feng looked around, and then said, "You really paid Lilian, and it doesn't matter if Lilian hears about the next topic." ”

Ellie shrugged, "I don't want to leave a bad image in Lilian's mind, and I have doubts about whether Lilian will be able to accept this. ”

"Rest assured, Lillian won't care what we're talking about." Xue Feng chuckled, shook his head and said, "She comes from a continent where maybe you or the people around you will die in the next moment, which can be said to be ten million times more cruel than here." Even when you are young, you are probably almost completely accustomed to life and death. ”

"In times of need, even the dead must give everything they have. This is the consciousness that everyone has done well for the sake of the continued survival of that continent and carried it out to the end. ”

In this regard, Ellie could only smile bitterly and whispered: "After all, it's a child......"

With Yukikaze's operation, an interface on the menu that was not available to all players was opened: "Now I'll pass on all the collected data to you, and be ready to accept it." ”

After Ellie opens the same interface, a percentage number starts jumping. Taking this brief opportunity, Ellie said, "However, I really didn't expect you to come up with this idea and actually implement it." ”

"Since the other party must face the fate of death and cannot be saved, then at least make a little contribution to this world in the end. As for us? ”

Xue Feng spoke casually, as if he had done nothing.

"As for us? We have never been sages, heroes and saviors. ”

With a "ding" prompt, the percentage number on the interface will disappear after reaching one hundred. What followed was a complex set of data that made most people dizzy at a glance.

"This data, this equation, this variable ......" Although a moment ago, there were other things being discussed, but the next moment she saw the data, Ellie threw herself into these data, "That's right! That's right! That's it! ……”

After pulling out a keyboard and a blank interface, Ellie quickly calculated something, and Xue Feng was also doing her own calculations.

With the knocking of the last number, the whole interface began to start the preset calculation according to the data entered by Aili, and Aili slowly exhaled a breath in her heart: "Sure enough, my theory is correct, the human soul, 'shaking light' exists......"

Shaking light, which is present in the microtubules of cells, swaying light.

Its official academic name is "evanescentphoton", which is a type of quantum. Its very existence is the embodiment of libertarianism, which is always shaking irregularly in the theory of probability. In terms of quantum brain mechanics theory, the shaking of the light is the human mind.

"It's not a human soul, Ellie." Xue Feng said negatively, "That's just an interface between the human soul and the outside world in the material world, or in the world of quantum physics. ”

"Through this excuse, we can read, delete, copy, and even rewrite human memories, or rather souls about memories. But this alone is not really able to understand and study the soul, and we cannot really do anything about the soul. ”

"Xuefeng, you can be regarded as a scientist. So...... As long as this interface is real, isn't it? It's enough to prove the existence of the human soul, isn't it? ”

"Ah, that's right. If you can't even find the entrance, or if you can't even prove that it really exists...... Nothing makes any sense. ”

"Although only about 190 sample data have been obtained, it is enough for initial calculations. The last piece of the puzzle of the optical quantum computer can also be said to be in hand. ”

"Forbidden knowledge obtained at the cost of the sacrifice of 213 people......

That's right, part of the reason for SAO's more than half a year of skipping tickets is the delay in the transformation of the first batch of 10,000 infiltrated devices, that is, NERvGear.

The official name of this batch of devices is not NERvGear, but NERvGear-STL. It is equipped with a quantum calculation loop developed with the help of Aili's previous research and data.

More than 190 of the 213 people died not because of the microwave signal that the faceless giant had previously stated, but because of the forcible link between the quantum algorithm loop and the shaking light, as well as ultra-high-intensity scanning.

While this does allow for detailed information about the shaking light, it also has the irreversible consequence of the death of the forcibly linked person in a very short period of time, but the effect is no different from that of microwaves.
