Chapter 116: The Insider
Asuna's real name is Assuna Yuuki, and her father is the CEO of RECT, a major electronics manufacturer.
In other words, Sugo Nobuyuki is Asuna's father's subordinate, and it is impossible for him not to know himself. However, he deliberately appears as an NPC in this game, and then forcibly marries himself. This vicious heart made Asuna shudder, because her father trusted this good-looking and enthusiastic young man.
Thinking of this, Asuna took out her saber from the character's package and stabbed Oberon hard a few times to vent the negative emotions accumulated over the past few days.
Asuna's hateful attacks, each stabbing Oberon's weakness, not only caused him great damage, but also caused intense pain.
If it was a real elf king, maybe this attack was nothing, but he wasn't, he was just an ordinary person with the power and setting of the elf king. Especially from the kind of cowardice that started with his injury, it is not difficult to see that he is a guy with a rather weak willpower.
The screams of pain made Oberon's voice hoarse, and Asuna, feeling a little tired, stopped.
"Mr. Sugo, can you tell me why you have an NPC account for the Mythical Company? Moreover, why is it still the role of the Elf King. β
"It's because no, I can't say! If I did, I would have died! β
Oberon, who had planned to confess honestly, suddenly remembered something and shouted in horror.
"But if you don't say it, you'll die now, and you'll be tortured to death by me little by little! I'll only give you three seconds to think about it. β
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
Seeing that Oberon was still hesitating, Yang Xi shook his head, and the sword in his hand stabbed down to the inner thigh again, the kind of pain that stimulated the nerves, tortured Oberon to the point of collapse, and tears and snot flowed out together!
But Yang Xi didn't stop. Instead, he held the hilt of the sword and spun the sword into Oberon's thigh from side to side like a drill.
Oberon, who had never been tortured in this way, didn't care about death anymore, and if this was a nightmare, he just wanted to end it all quickly!
"Don't, don't move anymore, I say I'll tell you everything I know!"
"It would have been better if it had been done earlier."
Asuna pursed her lips disdainfully, she had never seen a man so spineless.
"After the SAO incident, the core of the game developed by Akihiko Kayaba was acquired by a mysterious company for the first time. At the time, I didn't know who they were, but it wasn't long. They found me and wanted me to do something for them. That's when I learned that they were the new head of the Myth game company. β
"What are they looking for you for?"
"The purpose of looking for me? It's just that they're just trying to find someone to do something for them. β
"And what about their purpose? And what is it? β
"I don't know, but I know from the communication with them that they also invited Akihiko Kayaba, but unfortunately they were refused. According to the TV report, many people believe that Akihiko Kaiba committed suicide after the SAO incident was exposed, and was actually assassinated after refusing the invitation of the "Myth" company. I was afraid that the same fate would happen, so I agreed to them. β
"Hmph. You're really useful, Sugo! β
After hearing his answer, Asuna despised him even more.
But Sugo Nobuyuki didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.
"I'm really afraid of death, so what? Aren't all people like that?! If you are not afraid of death. Why struggle so hard in this game world?! I'm not afraid to tell you that this game world is just an experiment for them! Whether you log out of the game or not, you're just guinea pigs for them! β
"Experiments? What did you say?! Now that the game has more than 300 million players, how dare the folks of the Myth company do that?! β
Asuna was taken aback. Akihiko Kayaba's experiment with 10,000 players had already caused a huge shock, and the "Myth" company didn't expect it to be even crazier.
"Hehe, why don't you dare? Don't say 300 million. Six billion people on the planet are just white rats for their experiments. As far as I know, this organization is a huge organization that was established during the Second World War for more than 50 years, and it does not belong to any country or religion, and it is not even clear which ethnic group originated from it, and its purpose, size, and raison d'Γͺtre are unknown. Even the 'national machinery industry' that is now making a lot of noise at the top of various countries is just a part of this organization! β
"What? You say that the 'Dead Country Machinery Industry' is also part of the "Myth" company? β
Seeing Yang Xi's surprised expression, Oberon finally showed a satisfied smile, "That's right, I'm afraid, right?" While the dead country machinery industry is responsible for snatching IS everywhere and enhancing its strength, it is also to attract the attention of countries around the world. β
"And what is the point of the game Mythology?"
"Meaning? Speaking of which, this game has the same purpose as the SAO originally created by Akihiko Kayaba, both of which are to create a real different world. β
"A real different world?!"
Yang Xi and Asuna glanced at each other, both shocked by the news.
"Why are they doing this?!"
"They? If it's Akihiko Kayaba, I know that this guy is actually a simple idealist who wants to create a world that transcends all the frameworks and regulations of the real world. But I don't know about those guys, they won't say that to me, and I'm not interested in knowing. β
"So, can the players who are trapped in the game because of SAO still be able to get out of the game?"
Asuna's voice shuddered as she asked the question.
Hearing her inner concern, Oberon looked even more cheerful.
"Hahahaha, are you scared? Asuka, are you scared of being so good, beautiful and strong? Awesome, your expression right now is amazing! I really want to possess you like this! β
"You're a madman!"
"Hehe, madman? I'm crazy, and in this crazy world, if I'm not crazy, I can't live at all! Someday, you'll be as crazy as I am. β
"Sugo! You haven't answered my question yet! β
"Asukina, I'll tell you the truth, this game world is starting to transform into a real different world. The biggest feature is that the abilities you have in this world will also be brought to the real world. Wonderful, right? Although there are only a small number of people, with the transformation of this world, more people will gain great power, and when this world completes the real transformation, those who have lived in this world will truly become a member of this world! So, Tomorrow, it doesn't make sense for you to log out, and even if you can log out, you'll still be back in this world in the future. β
"Okay, don't say too much about long-winded words, you still know what to say!"
"Hehe, I'm just a peripheral member found halfway, and that's all I know. But I can tell you that there are many NPCs in this world who, like me, are impersonated by employees of the Mythic Corporation. Perhaps, the woman next to you is my colleague! β
Hearing his words, Asuna glanced at Arthur and subconsciously became vigilant.
Arthur frowned, and there was no superfluous explanation, and she didn't bother to defend herself.
Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, so there is no need to say more.
"Now, Mr. Sugo, you just said that whoever gains power in this world will become a true member of this world. So, can I understand that when the people who have gained power in this world die, the real world dies with them? Like a player involved in the SAO incident? β
"Yes, yes and what?"
"Mr. Sugo, if I'm not mistaken, you should have gained the power of this world, right?"
"You, what the hell are you trying to say?!"
"I'm just curious if if I kill you, you will really die with you in reality."
"No, don't, please! I've told you everything I know! β
"yes, so you're useless."
"No, no, I'm still useful, and I'm still useful! I know a lot of the game's settings, and I also know how to get some powerful items in this game that can help you become the strongest in the world! β
"Oh~ If you really have the ability, why don't you go yourself."
"Useless staff like me who have obtained NPC accounts are restricted, and they can't leave their territory except in special circumstances. And like real NPCs, we are controlled by the core of the game, and there is no freedom. β
"I see, so if you can help me, you can also get some benefits from me to strengthen yourself, right?"
"Hehehe, this is a win-win situation, isn't it good? It's good for both you and me. Through the bundling of interests, you don't have to worry about me not being able to work, right? After all, the greater your interests, the more benefits I will receive. β
"Well, that sounds like it does."
"Then you would like"
Without waiting for the excited Oberon to finish speaking, Yang Xi directly interrupted him.
"But it's a pity that from the moment you want to defile Asuna, your end is doomed!"
"You can't do that, I swear, I will never think about it again! Please don't kill me! β
"It's late! If there is a next life, remember to be a good person. β
The sword in his hand, like a silver serpent, stabbed directly into Oberon's eyebrows, which was where his godhead was.
When Oberon vanished into fragments and disappeared into the air, the mission was accomplished. (To be continued......)
