"I... What am I doing here? ”

Haffner, who had regained his freedom, looked dazed, he obviously couldn't understand the situation at all, and Ling Ze certainly didn't reshape his whole person.

After all, it is a long project, and there are too many trivial memories in a person's life, and it is not as simple as imagined to create a person with complete past memories.

At this time, Haffner did not lack much memory compared to him before, but on some things, he had a completely different view, what he thought should be done like that, but now if he encountered it again, he would reflexively want to change the method.

Hafner didn't seem to be a completely different person, but like a sudden epiphany, things that he had never noticed before, and that he had never cared about, began to gain an extremely important weight in his code of conduct, and he regretted what he had done before and learned valuable lessons from it.

"You're paying the price for what you've done."

Ling Ze looked at Haffner, he was actually a little curious about the results of his experiment, if he could make this guy "change his ways", then it would be considered a great success.

"Oh! yes, I remembered. ”

Haffner was in a trance for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he nodded at Ling Ze and said.

"How? Have you figured out what you're going to do next? ”

Ling Ze then asked, this is the time to really test the results of the experiment, Haffner can now speak normally, and there is no big problem with his spirit, it just proves that he at least didn't play this guy badly, if it's just like this, the requirements are too low.

"How? If anything, it's probably the exact opposite of what I used to be, right? The previous approach was indeed excessive. ”

After frowning and thinking for a while, Haffner gave a heartfelt answer, he didn't seem to have any mature thoughts in his heart, but this situation was understandable, after all, he had just recovered from the "operation".

"It's good to have a change in your thinking, but don't overdo it, you must stick to one central idea and not change, that is, the members of the unity strategy group work hard to tackle the strategy."

Ling Ze patted Haffner and gave him some ideological guidance, in fact, he also understood that this kind of operation on memory is not permanent, in some cases, Haffner may be aware that something is wrong with him, he may perceive that some memories are not very real, and may recall his true state of mind at that time.

Although it is very difficult to do these things with his "spiritual power", it is still possible after all.

"Go back, now that you've realized what your problem is, there's no need for me to keep you anymore."

After confirming that Haffner's "operation" was successful, Ling Ze was no longer ready to take him, and Haffner naturally couldn't ask for it, although in his memory, he came with him voluntarily, but who doesn't want to regain his freedom?

"I hope that the next time we meet, the Holy Dragon Federation will have a new look."

Ling Ze said earnestly, he didn't really care about the future of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" guild, he just wanted to see how far his "work" could go.

"I'll try."

Haffner nodded, then turned around and left Ling Ze and Kirito, although he was alone, but as the leader of the "Holy Dragon Alliance", his strength and experience were enough to protect himself, at least not in the wild.

"Let's go back too."

Ling Ze greeted Kirito and prepared to return to the "Dark Elf Camp", in fact, if he could take Haffner in, this camp would be more suitable for "surgery".

"Brother Ling Ze, what did you say about that GM ......?"

Kirito's expression was very complicated, he was now accumulating a stomach full of questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to bring out this thing that Ling Ze had mentioned before, of course, this is indeed the most important thing, and if other things are compared with this matter, he is not so anxious.

"Oh, that, if you want to say that he's a GM, it's not that accurate, after all, that guy is Akihiko Kayaba, the creator of this game world."

Ling Ze replied casually, he felt that there was no need to continue to hide this matter from Kirito, for this mature big boy, Ling Ze still trusted him, he believed that Kiritto was not the kind of person who did bad things, at least Kirito's brain would not be hot, so he ran over to question Heatcliff.

"Akihiko Kayaba!!"

Kirito's eyes widened suddenly, he was a little incredulous, and even began to wonder if he had an auditory hallucination just now, it was Akihiko Kayaba!

"That's right, it's Akihiko Kayaba."

Ling Ze nodded, it was to be expected that Kirito would be shocked, and when this guy found out that something was wrong with Heathcliff in the future, he might not be as shocked as he is now.

After all, in the original plot, he didn't immediately think that Heathcliff would be Akihiko Kayaba himself, and at that time he had sufficient buffer and reaction time, unlike now, when he had to face the bloody reality at once.

"It's... Who is it?! ”

After a pause, Kirito asked with some relief, the reason why he was relieved was because it was at least certain now that Kizmel should not be the GM, after all, he really couldn't imagine that Akihiko Kayaba pretending to be Kizmel would completely collapse the inherent image of these two people.

"It's Heathcliff, the head of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the strongest main tank that claims to never die."

Ling Ze very simply reported the name of Heathcliff, which made Kirito feel in a trance again, because the news was a bit too exciting.

"Hey... Heathcliff? ”

Kirito stammered and repeated the name, and the image of Heathcliff quickly came to mind.

"Akihiko Kayaba... What was his purpose in doing this? ”

Kiriri's heart has mixed feelings, and his emotions are very complicated, and he is full of confusion about Akihiko Kayaba's behavior.

"Then who knows, I haven't figured it out for a long time."

Ling Ze felt the same way, ordinary people like them really couldn't understand the kind of "genius" of Kayaba Jinghiko.

"Brother Ling Ze, how did you find out?"

Although Kirito didn't want to doubt Ling Ze's words, the fact that Heathcliff was Akihiko Kayaba was really a bit outrageous, and he needed some evidence to prove it in order to convince himself.

"Proof? His immortality, the kind of immortality that never falls below half of his HP no matter what damage he takes. ”

Ling Ze actually has no evidence, and his statement is difficult to stand up to now, because although Heathcliff is now very famous as the "main tank", after all, they have not participated in a few battles together, and Heatscliffe's "Tandu" has not yet been clearly recognized by everyone, and his "immortality" is a reputation made in boss raids again and again.

Sure enough, Kirito's face looked a little embarrassed, if he only relied on this reason, he couldn't even convince himself, and he couldn't suspect that he was GM or Kayaba Akihiko just because of Heathcliff's good skills, right?

"Unbelievable, right? But if there is any obvious flaw in him, what is the point of his hiding? ”

Ling Ze naturally saw Kirito's inner thoughts, but he had actually expected this for a long time, the reason why Kiritto would suspect Heathcliff two years later was because Heathcliff had the most reputation among players, and the reputation of "blood volume will not drop below half" was known to everyone, and now although Heathcliff has also come to the front of the stage, it is at most a "famous" reputation.

"There's got to be a reason, right?"

Kirito smiled bitterly, now that he has regained his composure, although because of Brother Ling Ze's words, he can't help but pay more attention to Heathcliff, but if he wants to decide that Heathcliff is Akihiko Kayaba, then he can't do it.

"Actually, it's very simple to verify, just try it and see if you can beat his HP to less than half blood."

The two chatted casually as they moved forward, and Ling Ze said his suggestion, but it was difficult for Kiritto to accept this approach.

"Isn't that the same Morut? Looking for someone to PK everywhere, although it is under the banner of identifying GM, but the person who is suspected will definitely not be in a good mood, right? ”

Kirito scratched his head, he couldn't do such a thing anyway.

Ling Ze looked at Kirito who was scratching his head and annoyed with some strange eyes.

"You don't really want to reveal his identity, do you?"

Ling Ze was a little helpless, Kirito obviously didn't grasp the key to the problem, the key was not whether he could find out the GM, whether he could find out Kayaba Jinghiko, but what to do after finding out.

Kirito didn't believe that Heathcliff was Kayaba Akihiko, so his current idea was to find Kayaba Akihiko first, and he hadn't thought about what to do after finding it.

"Why not debunk?"

Kirito asked reflexively, but he immediately reacted again, his face becoming a little ugly, obviously having figured out the key to this.

"Akihiko Kayaba is the maker and controller of this world, have you forgotten what happened in the square on the first floor? He is indeed in control of the world now, how can you defeat him if you expose him? Do you think we'll be able to convince him to let the players go? ”

Ling Ze's words made Kirito a little embarrassed, he really didn't think of this before, but after thinking about it, he could understand, he didn't think he had the ability to persuade Kayaba Jinghiko to change his mind, after all, this is a guy who can trap 10,000 people in a death game, how can it be so easy to convince?

"Understood?"

Ling Ze asked Kirito, he found that he really thought badly before, if Kirito really believed that "Heathcliff is Akihiko Kayaba", then this guy would really question and expose Heathcliff.

After all, this guy found out that Heathcliff had a problem, but he chose to expose it directly without turning his brain.

"Then are we going to play this game of death with him like this?"

Kirito was a little unwilling, because when Brother Ling Ze said this, wouldn't they have to reluctantly accept the status quo?

Kirito's reluctance and despair, Ling Ze is completely understandable, because they have no way to fight against Heathcliff, Kayaba Jinghiko controls this world, as long as he wants, he can easily wipe out anyone.

"Don't worry, I've found a way, and it will work soon, his game of death won't be long left."

Ling Ze's confident speech surprised Kirito, he couldn't imagine that Ling Ze's eldest brother had any way to fight against Kayaba Akihiko, the "cards" in their hands were not of an order of magnitude at all, everyone was full of "kings", but the players were all "three" in their hands.

Ling Ze didn't explain much, and he couldn't explain it, after he really mastered this game world, Kirito and they would naturally be saved, they didn't need to understand how he did it, and it was difficult for them to understand.

"Brother Ling Ze, Kirito, where have you been?"

Ling Ze and Kirito returned all the way back to the "Dark Elf Camp", and the left Asuna, Klein and others had been waiting here for a long time, obviously finding that the two of them were not there, but because the two of them often went out to practice, the group did not feel that they were not very strange, only Asuna was aware of it by relying on the "sixth sense".

"Went to complete the mission of chapter six."

Ling Ze took out the "order book" and lit it up, which made Asuna pout, she was obviously a little unhappy that she was not brought with her, but she had always been very attentive to this task.

However, Ling Ze didn't care, he first returned to the "Dark Elf Camp", reported to the commander that he had completed this task called "Infiltration", and then received the following tasks.

The mission in Chapter 7, "Collecting Butterflies", requires players to find and defeat the giant butterflies released by the "Forest Elves" in order to scout the vicinity of the "Dark Elf Camp".

This task was completed very easily, because Ling Ze had the "Flying Sword Skill", and it was called a dozen and one accurate when fighting butterflies.

The mission content of Chapter 8 "West Spirit Tree" is closely related to Chapter 6, and after reading the "Confidential Order", the commander made a plan to secretly transfer the "Jade Key" to the base on the fourth floor.

Ling Ze, Kirito, Asuna, Klein and Kizmer came to the "Spirit Tree" used by the Dark Elves to travel between the layers, and naturally there was an episode halfway, and this episode once again subverted Kirito's cognition, because the "Jade Key" that should have been snatched by the "marauders" here was successfully protected.

"Ahhh......h

Kirito was completely dumbfounded, because this task in Chapter 8 was the antecedent of the two missions in Chapter 9 and Chapter 10, and if the "Jade Key" hadn't been snatched, the latter two missions would basically be impossible to trigger.
