Chapter 562: A Heavy Burden

Kirito also looked at Ling Ze, he didn't see Ling Ze take out the mirror just now, so he suspected that Ling Ze didn't use that prop, but he couldn't be sure.

Because the mirror had automatically dissolved after using it, it was obviously not a permanent prop, Ling Ze may have used it, but he didn't see it.

"Actually... I haven't changed my appearance, height, weight, etc., and the current appearance is me. ”

Ling Ze opened his mouth to explain, which made both Kiriti and Klein's eyes widen, obviously very surprised by this.

"If it's the adjusted appearance, I can understand it, after all, everyone was very handsome at that time, you just made it more handsome, but it's too much to look like this in reality, right?! No wonder you're a winner in life! And you look so young! Are you already married and have a son and daughter?! ”

Klein exclaimed exaggeratedly, his eyes were full of envy, sometimes, people are indeed handsome, and more importantly, they are handsome and have a happy family, and they look like a carefree winner in life, which is simply enviable.

"No way, this is the reality, my life has always been very complete and happy before today, maybe that's why I encountered this kind of thing today."

Ling Ze sighed, which made Klein's face twitch.

"According to what you say, then I'm really unlucky, before I encountered this incident, my life was ordinary, and it's okay to say that I am a down-and-out defeated dog."

Klein held his forehead in pain, only feeling that people were more popular than people.

"Reality..."

Kirito muttered in a low voice.

"Kayaba Akihiko has just said that this is reality now, so this polygon character and the numerical health value are our real flesh now, and it is also our life, Kayaba Akihiko is to force us all to understand this, so we will reproduce our appearance and physique in the real world, right?"

If you have been living with the way you pinched it out before, it is indeed easy to make people feel as if they are still in the game, playing games, and there is a trace of fantasy, then now, most people are already dead, and this game has been infinitely close to reality.

"Why the hell did he do that?"

Klein recovered from being hit by Ling Ze, with an unbelievable face, this man belongs to the type with a relatively strong ability to accept, probably because he is older, and he has always been alone, this kind of person is indeed the easiest to accept this setting.

"Who knows? Maybe it's psychopathic, after all, the gap between a genius and a madman is often only a thin line. ”

Ling Ze actually didn't understand why Kayaba Jinghiko did this, this kind of genius psychology was indeed a little difficult to grasp.

"Are you really calm and don't worry about your family?"

Kirito asked a little strangely, at this moment, his heart was full of worries, worried about his mother and sister, after all, he was only a 14-year-old junior high school student.

"Of course worry, but it's useless to worry, under the premise that external factors can no longer save and affect us, what we have to do now is to find a way to save ourselves."

Ling Ze opened his mouth to explain, of course he was not worried at all, after all, he was not included in the list of "Game of Death", he was also a player like Akihiko Kayaba.

"What a reliable and responsible adult."

Klein complained, although he is also an adult, but compared with Ling Ze, he instantly feels very weak, maybe this is the difference between starting a family and having children and being a single dog.

After everyone in the audience has returned to their original appearance in the real world, "Red Cloak" Akihiko Kayaba continues his performance.

"You must be thinking in your mind right now, you must be full of confusion, why, why did Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of SwordArtOnline and NERvGear, do this? Is this a large-scale terrorist act? Or the kidnapping case committed for ransom

Actually, these are not my goals, and I can even say that I don't have any purpose or reason now, if I want to say why, it's because for me, the current situation is my ultimate goal, to create this world and watch it, and it is for this purpose that I invented NERvGear and created the fantasy world of SwordArtOnline.

And now, all my goals have been accomplished, and the description of the game for the official operation of SwordArtOnline ends here. Good luck guys. ”

In the dead silence, Kayaba gave his final speech, and then walked out without stopping, completely uncaring about the players' reactions.

The huge bright red cloak rose silently, starting from the tip of the hat, as if dissolving into a blood-colored solution, gradually assimilating with the warning message that covered the entire sky, its shoulders, chest, and limbs slowly sank into the blood-red water, and finally left only a ripple to spread out, and then, the warning message that filled the entire sky disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.

The sound of the wind blowing over the square, and the BGM on the streets of the town played by the NPC orchestra gradually touched people's hearing from afar, and the game returned to its original appearance, and the only change was that some of the rules of the game had changed.

"Sure enough, did you go from a genius to a madman?"

Klein muttered to himself, the reason given by Akihiko Kayaba is a fart reason! Who understands?!

Klein is a little crazy, because of this bullshit reason, he was involved in this inexplicable dangerous event, and this luck is too bad! It's unacceptable!

"Now that this is the case, what is the use of saying this? Cheer up, Klein, and try to live in this world. ”

Ling Ze patted Klein and encouraged the man, and Kirito, who had been silent since just now, seemed to have suddenly made some important decision.

He looked at Ling Ze and Klein and said, "Follow me." ”

Then he ran to the side of the alley without looking back, Klein looked at Ling Ze and found that Ling Ze followed directly, without a little hesitation, there was no way, Klein also sped up and came to the alley.

"Kirito, what are you going to do?"

Klein asked in a loud voice, and Kirito stopped in the alley.

In the alley, Kirito had a serious face, and said to Ling Ze and Klein in a firm tone that did not match his age:

"I'm leaving this town for the next village now, do you want to come with me?"

Kirito squinted his eyes slightly, biting his lip tightly, making this decision was actually not easy for him.

If you only take one person, even if you are only level 1 now, Kirito is confident that she can protect him from the dangerous monster and reach the next village safely, but if there is one more person, the danger will increase exponentially.

So it stands to reason that he should leave Ling Ze and Klein on the road alone, that would be the most correct choice for him, but Kirito can't do this kind of thing at all.

The hearty and likable Klein and the mature and steady Ling Ze are both very suitable people to be friends and have shown him kindness, and Kirito can't leave them coldly.

"If what that guy said is all true, then in order to survive in this world, we must desperately strengthen ourselves as Ling Ze said.

MMORPG is a game that is a resource grabbing battle between players, and the more money, props and experience points provided by the system, the stronger they can become.

Guys who think the same way as us should continue to level up in the area around this "starting town", so that the resources will be depleted immediately, and in the end it will only become a place where everyone is constantly competing for the system, and there may even be a situation where the strange location is occupied.

So while it's still early, it's best for us to hurry up and use the next village as a stronghold, and I know the path to the next village and the dangerous location, even if the current level is only 1, you can reach it safely. ”

Kirito can say these words, it can be said that it is very righteous to dig out his heart and lungs, which shows that he does regard Klein and Ling Ze as friends, and hopes that everyone can become stronger and live together, and if he can do this in this situation, it can be seen that Kirito's nature is not bad at all.

"I don't have any problem, even if you don't say it, I plan to go over and try it, the efficiency of grabbing monsters with 10,000 people here is too slow, I won't tell you, my swordsmanship level is not bad, I can easily kill that kind of grumpy boar without skills, and it shouldn't be a problem to go to the next town to fight monsters."

Ling Ze replied directly, and his words made Klein and Kirito a little surprised, and Kirito was even more directly relieved, if Ling Ze had this kind of strength, then he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to protect them.

"Klein, what about you?"

Kirito looked at Klein, although Klein's strength was not very strong and he was still a novice for the time being, Kirito didn't want to leave him behind.

"But... But as I said earlier, I was queuing up all night to buy this game with my good friends from other games, and those guys should have already landed, and they should have been in that square just now, so I can't leave them ......alone."

Kirito was silent, he looked at Ling Ze and then at Klein, he could probably understand Klein's thoughts.

"Klein, don't be too embarrassed for Kirito."

Ling Ze sighed and said, Klein wanted Kirito to take them with him, with his friends, and Kirito obviously wanted to refuse, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

"I... Truly... I shouldn't have caused you any trouble..."

Klein smiled reluctantly, he also realized that he was a little strong, before he said that he wanted to introduce a friend to Kirito, Kirito had a little resistance, and now this kind of request may indeed be a little excessive.

"Don't get me wrong, Klein, think about it, there are too many people, Kirito and I will definitely not be able to take care of them, if there is a victim on the way, and the result is really like what Akihiko Kayaba said, that player's brain will be scorched because of this, resulting in death in the real world..."

Ling Ze's words stopped at this point, and Klein suddenly realized that he understood the worry in Kirito's heart.

"If that happens, the blame will undoubtedly be placed on Kirito who proposed to leave the safe starting town and then have no way to protect the lives of his companions, even if you don't blame him for that, what about your friends? What about Kirito himself? ”

Ling Ze continued, the reality is so cruel, good intentions may not be able to do good things, and there may not be good rewards, Kirito's worries are completely reasonable.

"Maybe... Maybe... Is there another way? ”

Being said by Ling Ze, Klein was a little uncomfortable, he actually liked Kirito, this enthusiastic closed beta player, took him, a novice, to play patiently for an afternoon, without a little impatience, just like an old friend, and Ling Ze, the "winner in life", although it is enviable, but it also makes him feel particularly free and reliable.

"I really don't want to be separated from you if I can, but I really can't continue to trouble you."

Klein sensed the struggle on Kirito's face, and he shook his head with a wry smile and made his own decision.

"Anyway, I also served as the guild leader in the last game, it doesn't matter, with Kirito just taught me combat skills, I shouldn't have a problem growing up here with my friends, and... It's really just a boring prank, maybe you'll be able to log out right away, so you don't have to worry about me, hurry to the next village, don't fall behind people, and maybe you can take me with you when you get higher in the future. ”

Klein said it very freely, which made Kirito's heart even more uncomfortable, in fact, everyone understands that the possibility of being a joke is almost zero, Klein said this, but he is just looking for a reason to comfort himself.

"Why don't you call all your friends, Klein, and if anyone is willing to take the adventure with them, take them with you, and if you don't want to, stay here, how about you?" This is a great opportunity for you to leave the choice to them. ”

Ling Ze came up with a compromise idea, which made Klein's eyes light up, but it quickly dimmed.

"It's useless, if something really happens, you will still have a lot of pressure, this is a living human life, don't say it, you guys go quickly, I'll just stay alone."

Klein is a man who values love and righteousness, he doesn't want to leave his old friends behind, but he also doesn't want to embarrass his new friends, he won't let his new friends carry such a heavy burden for himself and his old friends.

Kirito remained silent, his heart was struggling like never before, and it was clear that carrying human life was too heavy for a 14-year-old child.
