After receiving the news, the three of them took advantage of the sunset to come to the 67th floor together, and met with Kirito and Keita who were having a party here.

"Died in the town, and no sign of victory in the duel was found?" Looking at the spear in his hand, Zhao Xin said talkatively.

Obviously, what Kirito encountered this time was the murder in the circle in the original work.

Asuna on the side said in disbelief after understanding what had happened: "How is it possible! There's no damage in the town! ”

"But that's the case," Kirito looked puzzled, not at all confused, "It stands to reason that if you want to hurt someone else in the town, the consistent way is to use the other person's hand to manipulate the menu to duel while the other person is asleep, and then hurt the other person in your sleep." But what we saw before, the man named Kainz had dinner with Miss Yurko, and then had an accident after getting separated, and now we have to rule out the cause of sleep PK. ”

As he spoke, everyone turned their attention to Yurko, who was sitting in a chair, hiding his face in pain.

Looking at the sky, Zhao Xin said: "It's not too early, when I encounter this big thing, I see that Mr. Youerke is also a little tired, send her back to rest first, and then discuss it here." ”

After agreeing to Zhao Xin's proposal, several people first sent Yuerke back to the room, and then let Keita, who still has a task tomorrow, go back first, and this matter will be handed over to Kirita and Zhao Xin first, and Asuna on the side is also the opposite of the seriousness of the matter, and she and Liz took the initiative to stay together.

"So, do you have any clue now?" A few people returned to the tavern, and Zhao Xin asked.

Looking at the murder weapon in his hand, Kirito thought for a while and replied, "The only clue at the moment is this weapon, so I plan to start the investigation from here first." ”

"It just so happens that our top craftsmen are here, so we don't need to find anyone else." Zhao Xin directly pushed Liz out. Among the acquaintances of several people, except for Liz, only Achill, who opened a store on the 50th floor, has advanced identification skills.

Liz didn't say a word after hearing this, and as a result, the weapon began to be evaluated. After a few seconds, he looked at the data of the weapon in front of him and said: "The name of the weapon is the Thorn of Sin, which is a weapon forged by the player, but the data is very average, and it can only be regarded as a painless weapon." I look, the craftsman's name is, Grimlock. ”

Asuna took the spear and muttered, "Forged weapons?" Then this Grimlock should have something to do with it. ”

"Wait until tomorrow when it is dawn, and then ask Miss Yurko. It's time for us to rest and prepare for tomorrow's investigation. Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, Zhao Xin stood up and pulled Liz to prepare to stay in this tavern.

looked at Liz, who was shy, arguing with Zhao Xin, and then turned his head to look at Asuna, who looked gloomy beside him, Kiritto showed a wry smile: "It's very uncomfortable, I don't know how to comfort you, I can only say that you met too late"

Shaking her head, Asuna stood up and walked to the room that had been booked: "Now is not the time to think about this, let's find out what is in front of you first." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Kirito was left alone, sitting in his seat drinking tea and thinking.

In the room, the two were lying on the bed in each other's arms, quietly feeling each other's breathing.

After bending her comfortable arm, Liz looked at Zhao Xin, who was relaxed in the moonlight: "You said, out of sleep PK, is there really a way to kill people in the circle?" ”

Zhao Xin didn't answer directly, but said slowly: "In SAO, there are some things that are set as absolute rules, the most important of which is that people will die after HP is zeroed, and there is a non-sleeping state in the town, and people are absolutely safe."

These two points are the truths that the whole of Eingrant has collapsed and will not change. ”

"Then why did Kinez die in town?"

"What we see and what we understand is not necessarily the same." Zhao Xin tightened the girl in his arms, felt the comfortable touch from the skin that the two were clinging to, and said something ambiguous.

With a slightly red face, Liz ignored the hands that were making a difference on her body, thinking about Zhao Xin's words: "See, understandable? Could it be that what Kirito and they saw was not the death picture of Kainz? And it's possible that Keynz didn't die at all? ”

Nodding, Zhao Xin continued: "If that's the case, then Kainz and Youerke should be plotting something, now we just need to wait quietly, it's okay." ”

After speaking, Zhao Xin opened the friend bar and found the intelligence dealer girl with a catly face that he met through Kirito, and sent a message to the past.

In this plot, Zhao Xin only knew a rough idea, the only thing that made him care about it was that a few minutes later appeared, several people from the Killing Guild "Smile Coffin", and among them, the president PoH, who was holding a kitchen knife weapon, was a character that Zhao Xin remembered after discovering the appearance of the Smile Coffin.

In order to understand this plot in advance and make arrangements, Zhao Xin asked his old acquaintance to find out about the "Golden Apple" of Yuerko's guild, as well as the recent news of the appearance of the smiling coffin.

After seeing Zhao Xin's message, Liz asked, "So should we tell Kirito and Asuna about this?" ”

"Needless to say for the time being, it's easy to show your stuff when you know more."

Looking at the affirmative reply sent back soon, Zhao Xin said confidently.

"Well, since you're sure, then I'll just ask, and just watch how things unfold with peace of mind." With a yawn, Liz shrunk back under the covers and closed her eyes to sleep.

"Are you going to sleep so soon?" With a wicked smile on his face and moving his hands, Zhao Xin looked at Liz who was blushing and said.

"Don't move!" Twisting her body, Liz said shyly.

"That's not good, if you want to sleep, you'll have to wait until it's over." With an evil smile, Zhao Xin turned over and pressed up

Early the next morning, Kirito and Asuna prepared to go to Yuerke to find out about the situation, and Zhao Xin, who was not interested in watching others act, said that he would wait for the news of the two, so he pulled Liz, who had just woken up, to sleep.

After sleeping until noon, Zhao Xin said to Liz after receiving the news of Argo, a girl who was an intelligence monger, and then got dressed and came to a corner of the city square, where he saw the girl wearing a cloak and a cat beard on her face.
