"Let me go."

Johnny Black's request was very simple, nothing else, he just wanted to go, he pushed Diabel forward, and kept forcing everyone back, nearly a hundred people had no choice.

"How can we be sure you're going to let him go?"

The Tooth King gritted his teeth and continued to negotiate with Johnny Black, but when facing him, Johnny Black was tough and finally had a bit of a "bandit" appearance.

"You don't have a choice!"

Johnny Black gradually found his confidence, this situation is the situation he expected, Ling Ze is a little too unreasonable, he really almost gave up just now.

"Damn bastard!"

Johnny Black's attitude made the tooth king hate the root of his teeth, but he had no way to refute it, and could only hope that the other party would really abide by the agreement and let Diabel come back after he was safe.

The only one who still has a way is probably Ling Ze.

"We have a choice, but you don't have to choose."

After seeing that the Tooth King really had no way at all, Ling Ze stood up angrily, but the one who reacted the most to his actions was not Johnny Black.

It was the players of the "Strategy Group" led by the Tooth King, who expressed a very strong protest against Ling Ze's approach, and they hoped that Ling Ze could put Diabel's life first and stop irritating Johnny Black.

"How foolish is to hope for the mercy of the enemy, and if he stabs Diabel to death after ensuring his own safety, will you watch him leave unharmed?"

Ling Ze's rhetorical question also made the Tooth King not know how to answer, of course he couldn't guarantee that Johnny Black wouldn't do that, he just didn't want to think about that possibility, because it would put him in a dilemma.

"So what do you think we should do? Didn't you provoke him so much and put Diabel in a dangerous situation? ”

The Tooth King was forced to give up on himself by Johnny Black and Ling Ze, he had completely lost his proportion, this guy really can't be considered bad, but he is really stupid, he doesn't have any big skills, but he always likes to take care of things, and finally makes a mess of things by himself.

"Don't make a mess, I'll take care of it myself."

Ling Ze didn't save any face for the Tooth King, and directly let him go to the side to close himself, and seeing Ling Ze so confident, the players of the "Strategy Group" who were at a loss finally accepted their fate, ready to see what Ling Ze could do.

"Johnny Black, I'm giving you one last chance to choose now, release Diabel, I'll spare your life, and still put Diabel in charge of holding you."

Ling Ze stood alone not far in front of Johnny Black, and gave an ultimatum with a calm face.

"If I kill this guy, you're immediately infamous among these people, and you're going to be seen as the murderer of this guy, don't you really care? Isn't there someone you care about? ”

Johnny Black still lacked confidence when facing Ling Ze after all, but his heart was still full of doubts, was this man really not afraid of him killing Diabel at all? Are you really not afraid to play off? Do you really not care what other people think?

"What's your choice?"

Ling Ze ignored Johnny Black's doubts at all, and still pressed step by step, which undoubtedly made Kirito, Asuna, Klein and the others watching from behind extremely nervous.

“......”

Johnny Black gritted his teeth, he didn't understand why Ling Ze was able to confront him so "arrogantly", as if it was not him but Ling Ze who had a hostage in his hand.

"Three... Two... One..."

What Johnny Black didn't expect was that Ling Ze suddenly started counting down, which made his heart panic, and he was completely confused by Ling Ze for a while.

What to do? Kill Diabel? Or surrender? Wouldn't it be a bit too faceless to surrender like this?

At the moment when Ling Ze counted "one", Johnny Black thought so much in his heart that he didn't react at all, and when he reacted, Ling Ze had already rushed to the position in front of him!

"Bastard!"

At this moment, Johnny Black finally understood that what Ling Ze had just said was just to divert his attention, all for this final blow.

"How can you succeed! Go to hell! ”

Johnny Black finally made a decision, although he did spare his life, but it was compared among the "red players", compared with normal players, he is undoubtedly the kind of person who is bold, otherwise he would not become a "red player" who takes pleasure in killing.

Therefore, under Ling Ze's constant persecution, when he was in a desperate situation, he did not hesitate to choose to die with Diabel, even if it was death, he had to pull a cushion on his back, and let Ling Ze be charged with indirectly killing Diabel! Although Ling Ze didn't seem to care, Johnny Black didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Ling Ze could really be unaffected in the slightest.

"Danger!"

Kirito couldn't help but shout, but they could only be a spectator, and there was nothing they could do about this kind of thing, and the young man's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Brother Ling Ze obviously just saved everyone, why did he have to save people in such a radical way? Even if he doesn't do anything, no one will blame him for it.

Kirito's idea is very realistic, he obviously thinks that Diabel is hopeless, and Diabel is so dead, Ling Ze, who came out to solve the problem, will undoubtedly take the blame, he can already imagine the situation after that.

"Click."

Something unexpected happened, Johnny Black, who was able to empty Diabel's last bit of HP with just a slight stab, actually got stuck at the most critical moment, and his knife in Diabel's neck couldn't be stabbed hard or alive.

This sudden change obviously panicked Johnny Black, and his arm seemed to meet a resistance, and at that moment he slammed his hand so hard that he could not use his upper force to stab the fatal knife.

"Whew!"

At the moment when Johnny Black was stuck, Ling Ze's knife followed, and he didn't give Johnny Black a chance to react at all, the tip of the knife moved forward and stabbed directly on Johnny Black's forehead, Johnny Black was instantly repulsed, and SAO was obviously not realistic enough to let Ling Ze stab his head with a knife.

But this extremely vicious blow did the damage it deserved, and there was no doubt that Johnny Black staggered back a few steps, and the HP bar quickly turned from green to yellow and then to red like a flood.

"Click."

The HP bar bottomed out, Johnny Black's figure disappeared into pieces, and the senior cadre of the future "smiling coffin" died directly without even leaving a last word, and his brain in reality was instantly steamed by high temperatures, obviously he no longer had the opportunity to hurt others.

Ling Ze held Diabel, who was still in a "paralyzed state", Johnny Black was obviously ruthless to him, otherwise he would not have fallen into a "paralyzed state" for so long.

"What's going on?! How did you do that?! Brother Ling Ze? This is too thrilling and exciting, isn't it?! ”

Kirito, Asuna, Klein and the others ran over, they were the first to react, and this ending was obviously extremely exciting, and Klein kept asking.

At this time, he looked at Ling Ze's eyes, as if he was looking at "God", this kind of thing is really like something that only happens in film and television dramas, deciding life and death and reversing the situation in a moment, which makes people's hearts beat and adrenaline soar.

"A little trick, of course I'm sure I will make a move."

Ling Ze skipped it lightly, not deliberately pretending, but it was not easy to explain, because he was undoubtedly using an "out-of-system skill", a skill brought by the "meditation method", but it was too much less powerful than in reality.

According to Ling Ze's understanding, it should be that his "meditation method" has improved again, so he can infiltrate some abilities into this game, thus affecting the game system.

Ling Ze didn't understand the specific principle, just like why Kirito and Asuna were able to break the restrictions of the rules of the system, and why there were such outrageous "mind skills", which could not be explained by science or magic.

It can only be said that the game world itself is "completely stealthy", and it is entangled with "spiritual power", and human will can truly become power in this world.

What Ling Ze used just now was the "Nian Force", and at the moment when Johnny Black made his move, the "Nian Power" raised his arm and stopped him from killing Diabel, which was already the limit of what the "Nian Power" could do.

If it is changed to the real world, Ling Ze doesn't even need to move at all, and he can control Johnny Black by directly using the "telekinetic power", of course, in the real world, ordinary scum like Johnny Black, he has countless ways to make the world evaporate.

"Unbelievable, I was saved by you again, thank you, Brother Ling Ze, if you need me in the future, please come to me, as long as it doesn't violate my justice, I will definitely not have any excuses."

Diabel gradually recovered from the "paralyzed state", and before his body was fully flexible, he had already opened his mouth to thank Ling Ze and express his attitude towards Ling Ze.

Ling Ze glanced at him, just nodded, didn't say anything, and then handed him over to the Tooth King and the others who came over, these "Raider Group" players looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, and the Tooth King looked particularly embarrassed.

"If you have a way, you should have said it earlier...... You don't have to be so nervous......"

The Tooth King's mouth was muttering, but after Ling Ze looked at him, he immediately shut his mouth honestly.

"We're going to the second floor to make the portals between the floors effective, do you want to go back and inform everyone?"

Ling Ze asked Diabel, in fact, this is something that does not need to be asked, Diabel did his best to do all this, in order to motivate all the players and let them see the possibility of clearing the game, so after clearing the first layer, he undoubtedly had to go back and mobilize everyone.

"We will go back, first, we need to rest, after all, the second layer is a new monster, everyone must be prepared, and second, we will announce everything, so that players can regain their confidence!"

Sure enough, Diabel replied with an excited expression, although the matter of the "red player" cast some shadows on his heart, and the final boss drop items could not be obtained, but Diabel was still very satisfied with the result of this strategy battle, at least the primary goal was achieved, which was a shot in the arm for all players!

"Then let's separate here."

Ling Ze didn't say anything more, he took Kirito, Asuna, Klein and the others towards a small door in the depths of the boss room, this is the entrance to the upper floor, this door is located directly behind the lord's throne, obviously you have to defeat the boss head-on to reach.

After opening the door, there is a flight of stairs, and after climbing the narrow spiral staircase, a door reappears.

When the door opens, it opens to a spectacular view, the exit of which is set in the middle of a steep cliff, and you can see the platform-like staircase leading down the rock face, which is obviously not low.

Unlike the first layer, which is rich in terrain, the second layer is a round table-shaped rocky mountain that is connected together, and the upper part of the mountain is covered with very soft-looking green grass, and there are many large bison-type monsters walking in it.

The main street area on the second floor, Urubas, is a city formed by hollowing out the central part of the table-shaped mountain range, and it is a city with great style.

"After going down the stairs here, just go through the practice area about a kilometer or so, and then touch the transfer door set up in the central square of Urubas, and the transfer door will start working and connect with the transfer door of the first level starting town, and they can go directly to the second level from there."

Kirito spoke, apparently knowing a lot about it.

"Of course, even if we don't go, the transfer door will still open automatically two hours after the first level boss is eliminated, so we don't really need to be in too much of a hurry."

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Kirito made a joke, because even he felt a little strange atmosphere, after all, Brother Ling Ze had just killed five people with his own hands, and it would be strange if the atmosphere of the team could be the same as before.

"Don't be so serious, just kill a few scumbags, in this game world where the sense of law is becoming more and more indifferent, you may face today's situation in the future, and then don't be as stupid as you are today."

Ling Ze opened his mouth and said, which made everyone silent.

"Is it really going to be like that?"

Asuna asked in a hoarse voice, she obviously couldn't accept it in her heart, but she had to face it, even if she was ready to face death, but killing people with her own hands still made her a little unimaginable.
