"Lyle, do you know about that!" As soon as Lyle entered the classroom, almost everyone in the class immediately gathered around.

Without him, the otaku talked about Lyle's concerns about NERvGear and brain-computer technology at the beginning of his transfer, and now Akihiko Kayaba has caused the death game incident, which makes them can't help but admire Lyle's forward-looking views.

In comparison, the major companies that produce and develop VR peripherals don't know whether it is a crisis PR or a down-the-ground comment, which is an afterthought.

"How could I not know, this incident also made me follow Taro and their hot spring trip yesterday to ruin." By the way, Lyle thinks he's already had enough experience of the local culture, so this is the last time Kazetaro and Nariyuki work as a tour guide, and it's a bit of a reward.

Lyle returned to his seat as if moving with the crowd, and after sitting down, he said strangely: "Anyway, what are you doing around me, I am not the government official in charge of this incident, and I don't have first-hand information on my hands." ”

"And people, he's also trapped in SAO!" The otaku said loudly.

"What? Did he snap up the game disc? "He already knew about having NERvGear with people, and he had shared his thoughts on playing NERvGear with people before, but SAO does not have a digital version, and players who can log in to the game on the first day either belong to the European Emperor who drew lots, or they do not belong to the Perseverance Emperor in line.

"He's participated in the game's closed beta." After the sports meeting, Miura Yuiko's invitations became more and more frequent, and Lyle rarely appeared in the game club, and even if he did, he didn't necessarily just talk about this topic, and it was normal to not know, "Aren't you one of the leaders in VR technology, Lyle?" There are also many patents...... Do you have a way to save people? ”

It's a pity that Lyle gave a disappointing answer: "How can it be so simple, if Kayaba Jinghiko can't catch it for a day, there is no way to save people for a day, and the 10,000 players trapped in SAO at this moment are hostages, and everyone throws a mouse trap and doesn't dare to anger Kayaba Jinghiko." ”

The reason why NERvGear has become a killer peripheral, is because it can emit microwaves that are enough to destroy the brain, so at least two rescue solutions can be proposed: first, completely stop the operation of NERvGear in an instant, NERvGear is said to have its own power supply, but after all, it is a device that conforms to the principle of the circuit, and it can be achieved by completing the demolition under the condition that the internal structure is completely open, so that the microwave does not have time to emit; Second, there is a gap between the player's head and NERvGear, which is a maneuverable space, but it is still unknown whether it can be realized.

But the biggest obstacle to saving people is that once a person is rescued, Akihiko Kayaba, as the GM, will immediately know about it, and then it is possible to warn with aggressive means, and no one can take responsibility.

"Then we can't sleep like this?" The otaku were unwilling.

"I can try to hack into the SAO and negotiate with Akihiko Kayaba, but the hacking needs the permission of the government of country R, considering that I am from country M......" Lyle spread his hands, the genius hacker 'Falcon' Fujimaru of country R, who has the track record of digging up the evidence of Aoki Liao's crime and bringing him down, will not be his turn in the short term.

The crowd, who couldn't get the answer they wanted, quickly dispersed and returned to their seats to get ready for class.

None of them have family members trapped in SAO, and the crimes suffered by classmates, friends, relatives, and acquaintances are not painful, and they don't even need a transition period, so what should they do, at most, they haven't been in the mood to pick up girls and play in the past few days.

“…… You're not telling the truth, are you? Due to the lottery transfer, Hikiya Hachiman, who was now sitting on Lyle's right hand, said coldly.

Lyle was confused, "What do you mean?" ”

"Cut, I originally hated cash charges, but now I hate geniuses even more." Hikiya Hachiman turned his head and said no more.

In this point of seeing through the essence of others, Hikiya Hachiman is also a genius.

》》》》》》》》

Akihiko Kayaba, a quantum physicist and genius game designer, is the main developer of NERvGear, the main producer of the exclusive game SAO, and the culprit of the Death Game incident.

Now he is hiding in a villa deep in the mountains and old forests, logging into the administrator account 'Heathcliff' to disguise himself as a player and participate in this death game up close.

[Good night, Mr. Kayaba.] A message box pops up.

"What!?" Akihiko Kayaba frowned slightly, looked around, ran into the alleys of the town, and teleported out of the map modeling in a position that no player could see, and then communicated with the uninvited guests, "...... Who are you? ”

[I'm Lyle, do you need more self-introduction?] 】

“…… Oh, a much more powerful genius than rumored to be. "Despite the brain-computer technology and deep stealth, NERvGear is a terminal and SAO is an online game will not change, and Akihiko Kayaba knows that there will definitely be hacking problems in the future of this type of game, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

[No, no~ Although I have no intention of infringing intellectual property rights, I secretly studied NERvGear out of curiosity, and this is the result of the previous one~] That is to say, even NERvGear has not been released for a few months, and Lyle's efficiency is still frighteningly high.

"Are you here to demonstrate or to negotiate?" The Game of Death is already working, and Akihiko Aoba doesn't really want to play cyber technology wars with Lyle, so there's no point in that.

[Neither, I'm not here on behalf of the government of country R...... If you can, please ask Mr. Kayaba to hide a thing or two for me in the future. 】

"............" Akihiko Kayaba's brows relaxed a little.

[Before I put forward my intentions, I would like to confirm a few things, of course, if it comes to sensitive questions, Mr. Kayaba does not have to answer. First, is there a way to clear this death game, in other words, whether all players will inevitably end in total destruction. 】

"There is a way to clear customs." He didn't start the incident with the intention of killing.

[Second, the creator god who looks at people coldly, the NPC who promulgates various tasks in the city, and the strongest and invincible player, Mr. Kayaba, who are you playing now? 】

“…… If it were you, which would you choose? Akihiko Aoba didn't answer the rhetorical question.

[No offense, but I think mortals who haven't even explored the real world are qualified to pretend to be the creator god, the NPC is too boring, the strongest and invincible or something is just to be touted, I might as well use money to smash out a batch of doglegs in reality...... So, I choose to play with a character that is equal to other players. 】

"............" opened the hanging Kayaba Akihiko is not happy.

[Third, is Mr. Kayaba a living human now, or an intelligent program that can't even tell what he is.] 】

“！？” Akihiko Aoba's heart was abrupt, but this question made him look at Lyle with admiration, and after a moment of silence, he typed in the answer, "I'm still alive at the moment." ”

[Thank you Mr. Kayaba for your answer, I have sent you a document of the somatosensory suit I am currently developing, if Mr. Kayaba doesn't mind me using the Game of Death for a big promotion, please be sure to contact me~]

Confirming that Lyle has no more information, Mr. Kayaba quits SAO and takes off the sinful NERvGear.

I went back to the personal computer next to me, entered the password, and sure enough, I received an email, which contained a PPT for introduction and a document that laymen couldn't understand at all.

“…… Now the little imp is terrible. "He suddenly doesn't want to form any strongest knight group to assist players in shortening the time to clear the level.

He was also very interested in the fantasy world that Lyle wanted.
