Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Final Hour
"It seems that we need to talk about it"
Inside the Black Iron Palace, I received a lot of emails after Qiu Chen came back, and the general meaning was basically whether you were dead or not, where did you run away during this time, etc., but there was an email that Qiu Chen cared about
If you don't die, hurry up and come to the strategy group.,We're going to prepare for the strategy meeting on the 74th floor---- by Asuna.
What's going on on the 64th floor?
But before she could reply to Asuna to ask her what was going on, Qiuchen received another email, an administrator email that couldn't be deleted
Come to the Black Iron Palace as soon as possible --- by Akihiko Kayaba
"Yes, I always feel that something is wrong~" Qiuchen first arranged for Xing to rest and rushed over overnight, "What happened in the past two days, how many layers have we attacked?" ”
"Did someone tell you that you have already reached the 64th floor" Kayaba Akihiko turned his back to Qiuchen and looked at the console in front of him, "But what about your previous memory, I'm afraid we are still far from the 64th floor."
"What the hell is going on" Qiuchen became serious for a moment, it seems that that email is not a simple matter
"The memories of the contemptible people are blurry," Akihiko Kayaba shook his head, "I just know that after waking up this morning, my members began to ask me about the strategy of those people who can participate in the 74th floor boss."
With a long sigh, Kayaba Jinghiko put his hands on the console, "I can't find any trace of what happened before, whether it's game records or newspapers" Kayaba Jinghiko took out a copy of the Daily Journal of Ayn Grant, a newspaper founded by the player around the tenth floor from the Raiders, with the purpose of reporting what happened to Ayn Grant every day
"There are dozens of floors, and the strategy time used for each layer is ten days, and the things reported in the newspaper are the same every day, and no one notices this" Qiuchen took the newspaper with his hand, and after roughly filtering it, he found that what Kayaba Jinghiko said was really right, it was all garbage information.
"Is there anything wrong with the game data?" Qiuchen frowned. The newspaper is unreliable, but the game stats can't crash, or Ayn Grant should crash too
"The game stats are fine, but that's the biggest problem!" Akihiko Kayaba tapped on the keyboard on the console that he called up, "The game data is too normal!" These dozens of layers of strategy data are almost exactly the sameNo, to be exact, they are exactly the same, it's just copy and paste"
"No player died, no rare items appeared, nothing new dropped, this is the data for each layer, I split it, you see"
Although I can't understand the meaning of a lot of binary number representations, after Kayaba Jinghiko splits it, Akichen really can't find data that is different from other layers on any layer, and every 1 and 0 position is the same. Such a precise correctness is the greatest incorrectness
"Do you still have control over the next few layers of data?" Although I don't know why this happened, Qiuchen doesn't think it's a good thing, and the 74th floor strategy is next to the 75th floor
In the original book, this is the layer where Ain Grant ends, and what the reincarnation said about the 75th layer always feels like something big is going to happen
"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it" Kayaba Akihiko's voice was a little bitter, making a genius admit his defeat
"Dust King," Akihiko Kayaba said suddenly, "Is this what you call magic?" ”
"Maybe" Qiu Chen was a little nerve-wracking, if he could achieve this level, it should be a large-scale spiritual suggestion, but it could affect thousands of people in an instant, at least at the level of the Lich King, "Can you know what's going on on the 65th floor?" ”
"If I look at it before, I can be sure that only the data on layer 75 has been changed, and I can only control one teleportation point."
"So, that's it" Qiu Chen took a deep breath, "You teleport me to the 75th floor, and then, you take the strategy group to the 64th floor normally, and let this game end on the 74th floor."
"The end?"
"Finish off Ayn Grant before he is completely invaded, so that you may be able to keep your soul in the engine of SAO, I guess if you really hit the hundred floors as originally planned, you will lose all control of SAO"
"As for the specific method, you just have to find a chance to expose yourself, let them beat you, and the game is over"
"What about you?" Akihiko Kayaba asked rhetorically
"I'll deal with all the enemies before Ayn Grant collapses" Qiuchen waved his hand, "Rest assured~"
"Also, give this to Yuki, the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe, you know" Qiuchen took out a rune stone - thanks to the fact that he still has one, he can't make new rune stones now that he is not an entity entering
"Tell her I'll go find her as soon as the game is over"
As for Qiuchen's other rune stone, it seems that Aveline has left Ayn Grant, so she must have noticed that something was wrong, so she ran away in advance
"Teleport now, there's no time to waste"
Kayaba Jinghiko bowed deeply to Qiu Chen, "Then please, Chen-kun"
----A long delay means many hitches-----
Teleportation plaza on the 65th floor
As soon as the white light of the teleportation lit up, the black shadow immediately pounced
"Sure enough, it's you monsters!" The sword light flashed, and a large amount of purple blood instantly erupted from the black shadow's body
"It's a family again, right" Throwing off the few small tentacles that fell on his shoulders, Qiu Chen took two steps back and saw the monster in front of him clearly. The Sea Devil that Caster summoned with the Oblivion City Sect during the Battle of the Holy Grail is not much different in appearance, and the only advantage over Qiu Chen is that this monster is not that big
"I hate these guys more and more" Qiuchen shook his head, although his ability to withstand as an undead in Azeroth was strong enough, but no matter how high the SAN value was every day, he couldn't stand it so ruthlessly
In other words, how about the value of using festival to offset SAN?
"Sounds good, the main thing ~ little brother ~" A slender hand blocked the sickle that Qiu Chen was about to swing, and the yellow cheongsam girl who covered half of her face with a fan walked out of the shadows, "Do you want to make a deal~"
"I won't be surprised if you run out suddenly, Naia" Qiuchen shook his head, but instead of putting away the scythe, he pointed at the huge monster in front of him, "Can you tell me what the hell it means?" ”
"This is a gift~" Naia smiled a little sinisterly, and the smile made Qiuchen not very adaptable, "You will like it, this gift~"
As he spoke, Naia moved out of the way, and Qiu Chen noticed that there were a large number of reincarnation corpses lying on the ground
