The sudden sound of a huge bell awakens Yue'er from the happiness of tasting delicious food, and Goofy knows that the game is officially blocked.

Opening the game panel, the otherwise conspicuous exit button is gone, which confirms Goofy's idea.

The light of the teleportation envelops Goofy and Yue'er, a symbol of forced transfer.

When Goofy opened his eyes again, they were already in the huge square of the Beginning Town, which was originally the place where the player came and was resurrected, so it was unprecedentedly large, and could hold 10,000 people without being crowded.

There were flashes of teleportation all around, and there was a noisy atmosphere throughout the square, sounding noisy, mostly a sense of panic that didn't know what was really going on.

I don't know if it's a coincidence of fate, two people quickly flashed next to Gao Fei, it was the protagonist Kirita and the supporting character Klein, they were also a little flustered, but they didn't exaggerate it.

A red hexagon, representing a system warning, suddenly appears in the sky and is spotted by sharp-eyed players.

While most of the players were looking up at the sky, the red warning box suddenly began to grow indefinitely, and soon filled the entire sky.

The bright red hue made everyone feel inexplicably uneasy, and they could only let it continue to develop.

When the bright red took over the entire sky, the change struck again, and a liquid like blood continued to seep out of the sky, flowing down like a waterfall.

The player underneath the liquid fled in panic and almost collapsed, and no one wanted to be touched by this ominous crimson liquid.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened. The liquid that flowed down began to coalesce on its own, like a slime, and then formed a shape, which was constantly changing.

The shape soon gathered into a human figure. It was a humanoid form that had never been seen before, and the human being was as small as a rabbit in front of him. The face of the humanoid figure dressed in bright red ecclesiastical robes is completely shrouded in a hood. It's like a black hole, making it impossible to see the figure inside.

But seeing this figure appear, many people's hearts were abnormally relieved.

“GM？” That's a lot of thinking, because at this point, the inability to log out of the game has been spread by the panicked crowd who think that this figure is out to fix the system bug.

But the words of this giant humanoid gave all the players a blow to the head, and this was not the GM who came out to solve the problem, but the demon who put them in the death arena.

"Gamers, welcome to my world." Kizuhiko Kayaba's voice was full of the magnetism of intellectuals, calming people's restless moods.

Only a handful of people noticed the key points in Akihiko Kayaba's words. Kiritani and people were one of them, but their ideas could not change at all, and they continued to develop according to Akihiko Kayaba's ideas.

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and I'm the only person in the world who can control the game."

Everyone was attracted by the fact that this figure was actually the most famous electronic scientist in the world, and that it was the developer of this virtual reality game, and they all felt that it was worth the trip. This made them take the initiative to filter out such important information about "Kayaba Jinghiko is the only person in the world who can control this game", but Kayaba Jinghiko did not come out to play tricks, but took the initiative to unravel the true face of this death game.

"Players, you've probably noticed. The Log Out button on the main menu is gone. But it's not that there's something wrong with the game, and again, it's not a problem with the game. ”

"Actually, this is the original version of SwordArtOnline."

"You can't log out on your own. In addition, it is not possible to stop or disable the "NERvGear" by an outside person, and if someone loses their cool and tries to do so, the high-output microwaves emitted by the NERvGear's signaling device. It will destroy your brain and stop your life activities. ”

It's a pity that Akihiko Kayaba's words didn't wake up most of them. After all, the vast majority of players come in to experience the game and don't know much about the various game terms.

The so-called "NERvGear". In fact, it is a game helmet, and the reason why the virtual reality game can make people's consciousness reach a real virtual space is that the helmet is filled with countless electronic microwaves, which can directly connect to the brain area, so as to isolate the brain activity from the body, so that the human body's consciousness can enter the virtual space simulated by the electronic microwave. In this way, no matter how the consciousness moves in the virtual space, the real body will not react in any way, which perfectly solves the problem of synchronization between the brain and the body.

However, these electronic microwaves can connect to the brain and pull consciousness into the virtual space, which can also be overclocked to turn the brain into a microwave oven, directly causing death.

Fortunately, most players don't know the specific situation, and they are already satisfied with Akihiko Kayaba coming out to explain in person, and they don't really care about what he says, and it's hard to see such a big man on the spot.

"I've spread the word about this on the internet, but unfortunately, there are still many family and friends who ignore the warning, lose their cool, and try to forcibly dismiss NERvGear."

"There are now 53 players who have retired from Ayn Grant and the real world for good."

What Akihiko Aoba said finally caught the attention of many players, but people were still a little incredulous. But Goofy thought that the death toll in reality was much smaller than in the anime, where 213 people lost their lives, and in reality, because of Akihiko Kayaba's voluntary disclosure, the death toll was much less.

But the deaths of just 53 people have caused an uproar among the majority of players, you must know that with the continuous times, death has become more and more the focus of people's attention, and any larger death accident will form news around the world.

Unfortunately, Akihiko Kayaba also came up with evidence, and a lot of huge news pages spread out in the sky, all of which were about the death of people in the game.

"As you can see, all the media outlets are repeatedly reporting that a large number of players have died."

"Therefore, it can be said that the danger of forcibly removing NERvGear has been reduced, so I hope you can focus on the strategy game with peace of mind."

"However, please be aware that in the future, all in-game resurrection methods will be canceled, and your virtual characters will die forever the moment their HP reaches 0. At the same time, your brains will be destroyed by NERvGear. ”

Everyone was shocked by the amount of information that Akihiko Kayaba had told, and the entire square fell silent.

"There is only one condition for liberating you, as long as you clear the game."

"The place where you are now is the lowest level, the first level, of Ayn Grant. Attack the maze of each layer and defeat the big boss of each floor to reach the previous level. As long as you defeat the final boss on the hundredth floor, you can clear the level. ”

The crowd below began to discuss the game the moment it knew that it had been cleared, and the noise spread through the square once again.

Regardless of the noise of the players below, Akihiko Kayaba immediately started the next step of explanation, and at this time, no one dared to ignore any words of Akihiko Kayaba, and immediately quieted down and listened.

"Finally, I have a gift in your inventory, so please check it out."

Everyone obediently took something out of their inventory, and Goofy was no exception, though he knew what it was from the start.

The player looks strangely at the mirror taken out of the inventory, wondering what it is for.

But the next change made everyone understand the purpose of the mirror, in fact, whether they took the mirror or not, everyone's true face appeared in front of everyone at this moment, regardless of beauty or ugliness, fat and thin, men and women.

"You must be wondering why this is now, why Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of SAO and NERvGear, would do such a thing, my purpose has been achieved, and it is only for the sake of making zuò and enjoying the world that I made SwordArtOnline."

"Now, my purpose has been accomplished."

"This is the end of the above explanation of the official operation of SwordArtOnline, good luck to all players!"

As Akihiko Kayaba's last words came to an end, the huge humanoid and bright red canopy began to crumble, and soon it was back to the point where nothing had happened, and the dusk was as beautiful as ever, but the reality brought a biting cold wind to everyone.

The game of death has officially begun. (To be continued......)
