Arun, the largest city in ALO, is built around the massive roots of the World Tree, and the light emitted by the mineral lamps that spread throughout the city is enough for all the heavenly creatures in the crater to see, and its unique features have always been regarded by players as the game's signature beauty

"It's finally here" Qiuchen stretched, and they flew for two hours without teleportation skills before flying to Aaron

"Yes, it's not easy" Kirito looked up at the World Tree standing in the middle of the city, and just as a few people were enjoying the beautiful scenery, the sky sounded with the sound of a system prompt

[On January 22nd, from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, the server will be suspended due to regular maintenance, please log out 10 minutes before]

"It seems that today is going to end here" Kirito said regretfully, according to his previous thoughts, today at least to see the difficulty of the World Tree, as the final copy in the game, Kirito has no idea of underestimating, but Qiu Chen always feels that he has not seen the difficulty of the dungeon

Ai Wen, is this really server maintenance?

[Indeed, there is an abnormality in the game server, and it is estimated that the staff will restart the server]

"Server abnormality?" Autumn Dust and Kirito and Lifa walk on the road to the inn, and the night online players rarely make Aaron's streets seem empty. But the brightly lit city doesn't look deserted

[The data has been tampered with, but the method is too simple and easy to find] Ai Wen calmly analyzed

"Whatever, a stupid thief, maybe it's just a hacker" Qiuchen sighed, maybe he was too sensitive, it was normal for a world-class virtual simulation game to be hacked

[I hope so]

"Did you investigate?"

[No, I feel that there can be danger, and I won't expose myself if I don't have to]

"Okay, no wonder you can always avoid the encirclement of the main god space" Qiuchen's next thing to do was to find an inn room, and then went offline "By the way, Ai Wen, you can also withdraw"

[Understood]

It's always a good idea to be cautious, especially since Qiuchen has lost the main god in Ayn Grant, and when this mission is completed, he should start looking for the main god

As the autumn dust clicks the logout button, the surrounding scenery begins to blur, gradually becoming transparent, and finally replaced by a realistic ceiling

"Hmm~ It's already four o'clock in the morning...... I really can't feel the passage of time in the game, "For example, the weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and it was about to be three days of full classes, and the homework was not written at all...... Uh, off topic

"What's next? Blowing cold wind here? Ai Wen stretched out her head to block Qiuchen's sight

"Blowing cold wind? I don't have this habit, let's visit someone" Qiuchen stretched his waist and sat up, "Go and see Shinyuki Sugo, see if this guy is still alive"

"Go straight to the game manager and coerce him into handing over control? Sounds really good~" Ai Wen smiled, "Why don't you come up and do this, and waste so much time in the game"

"Cut~ If that guy had real control, I would have done it a long time ago, just a scumbag, what do you care about coercion and temptation" Qiuchen waved his hand, but the real control has never been in the hands of Sugo Nobuyuki "Now all virtual simulation games are built on the basis of Akihiko Kayaba's SAO, and TheSeed, which Akihiko Kayaba controls, is the core of all virtual worlds

And this guy Akihiko Kayaba...... Frankenstein? I don't know how to describe him, scanning his brain in an instant when SAO is terminated, and then keeping his spirit in the game world......

Barbecue brains, zombies' favorite~

However, Akihiko Kayaba has a very high interest in Kirito, and if he was willing to hand over TheSeed to himself, he should have found out when he entered ALO, but he didn't come out, obviously hesitating

"Sounds like you know who really has control?"

"Of course, but I don't know where he is...... What's going on there? Before Qiuchen finished speaking, he was attracted by the bells of the ambulance and police car in front

"Looks like something happened" Ai Wen covered her mouth and closed her eyes, "It seems that someone is unconscious...... Researchers in a company are collectively unconscious......"

"ALO's agency?"

"Looks right," Ai Wen opened her eyes and looked at Qiuchen, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"The guy I'm looking for is in that company...... Qiuchen raised his forehead, he really had a problem wherever he wanted to go, could it be that he had recently possessed Conan......

Seeing that the police in front of him began to pull up the blockade, Qiu Chen frowned, and knew from the original book that all the ** researchers were conducting research on the world tree in the game, and it was related to seeing Sigroot's abnormal behavior and suspected evil things this afternoon......

Sigroot's destination is the World Tree, and then the researchers on the World Tree have a problem...... If you can't see anything, it's an insult to IQ

"Ai Wen, you continue to monitor the situation here, I will find a way to go in"

"Okay"

Qiu Chen looked up at the high wall beside him, and suddenly jumped over

……

The middle and lower floors of the office building are filled with the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the police are clearing the layers of researchers who have fallen to the ground, and from time to time they can hear the voices of some reporters. The more he walked up, the less sound Qiu Chen could hear, and by the time he was above the tenth floor, he could no longer hear the sound below, and there were fewer and fewer victims on the ground, who seemed to be running down from above to avoid something......

What's in what?

Qiuchen pulled out the Ash Messenger, and the familiar feel returned. However, to his dismay, he sensed the presence of dead people in the upper floors

If it's just that someone is crazy and kills people to the point that it's not a problem, Qiu Chen can easily solve him, but thinking that there are so many things in the two virtual games of this world that can't be accepted by the ordinary world, he can't help but worry about whether the so-called pollution will affect the real world

Walking up the stairs, some debris fell on the stairs, but unfortunately the owners of these items probably couldn't run out, and most of them should have been unconscious on the lower floors

Soon, when you get to the middle floor...... It's so tiring to climb the stairs!! Of course, it's not physically tired, it's mentally tired......

Okay, but now is not the time to talk about it. Qiuchen discovered the source of the whole thing, and it is not ruled out that the other party was attracted by Qiuchen, but it was a bit unexpected...... Or is it expected?

"Sugo Shinyuki, what should I say about you......" The guy who originally thought it was the final boss suddenly became an additional boss, and the gap is a bit big

The purple tentacles are wrapped around Sugo Nobuyuki's body, and the energy that is very familiar ~ The guy who was devoured by his own **, then, the things on Sigroot's body should be the same as Sugo Nobuyuki

However, Sugo Nobuyuki obviously didn't understand what Qiuchen said, and pounced on Qiuchen as soon as they met

"Evil energy...... It's not clear how you got it, but I can't allow this on Earth! ”
