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

Because the mirror has been automatically dissolved after use, it is obviously not a permanent prop. Ling Ze may have used it, but he just didn't see it.

"Actually... I have not changed my appearance, height, weight and other data. My current appearance is myself."

Ling Ze explained that this made Kirito and Klein's eyes widen, obviously very surprised by this.

"If it were to be adjusted, I could understand it. After all, everyone was very handsome at that time. You just became more handsome, but it was too much to look like this in reality?! No wonder you were the winner in life! And you look so young! You are already married and have a son and daughter?!"

Klein shouted exaggeratedly, his eyes full of envy. Sometimes, handsome people are indeed very advantageous, but more importantly, handsome people are happy and happy, and they look like a carefree winner in life, which is simply enviable.

"There is no way, this is the reality. My life has always been very perfect and happy and smooth before today. Maybe this is why I encountered such a thing today."

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

"As you say that, I'm really unlucky. Before this incident, my life was also very ordinary. It's no problem to say that it's a down-and-out defeated dog."

Klein held his forehead in pain and felt that he was more angry than others.

"Reality..."

Kirito murmured in a low voice.

"Kaba Akihiko Kayaba just said that this is reality now, so this polygonal character and the numerical health value are our real body now and our life. Kaba Akihiko Kayaba is to force us to understand this, so we will reproduce our appearance and physique in the real world, right?"

If you keep using the look you made before, it will make people feel that you are still playing games and having a little fantasy. Now, most people are already dead, and this game is infinitely close to reality.

"Why did he do this?"

Klein recovered from being hit by Ling Ze, looking incredible. This man is of a type with strong acceptance ability. Maybe because he is older and has always been alone. This kind of person is indeed the easiest to accept this setting.

"Who knows? Maybe it's a psychopath. After all, the gap between genius and madman is often only between the front line."

Ling Ze actually didn't understand why Akihiko Kaedaba did this. It was indeed a bit difficult to grasp the genius mentality of this kind.

"You are really calm, aren't you worried about your family?"

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

"Of course we are worried, but worry is useless. Under the premise that external factors can no longer save and affect us, what we need to do now is to find a way to save ourselves."

Ling Ze explained that of course he was not worried at all. After all, he was not included in the list of "Death Games". He, like Akihiko Kayaba, is also a player.

“What a reliable and responsible adult.”

Klein complained that although he was also an adult, compared with Ling Ze, he instantly felt weak. Maybe this is the difference between getting married and having a child and having a single dog.

After everyone in the audience returned to the original appearance of the real world, the "Red Cape" Akihiko Kayaba continued his performance.

"Everyone must be thinking now that they must be full of confusion. Why, why did Sword     art                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

In fact, these are not my purpose. It can even be said that I have no purpose or reason now. If you want to say why, it is because for me, the current situation is my ultimate goal, to create this world and watch it. It is for this purpose that I invented nervgear and created this fantasy world of sword    art    online.

And now, all my goals have been achieved, and the game description of the official operation of online Sword Art Online is over. Dear players, I wish you good luck."

In the midst of silence, Kayaba Akihiko delivered his final speech, and then left without stopping, completely disregarding the players' reactions after listening.

The huge bright red cape rose silently, starting from the tip of the hat, turning into a blood-colored solution as if it was dissolved, gradually assimilating with the warning message covering the entire sky. Its shoulders, chest and limbs slowly sank into the blood-red water surface, and finally only a ripple spread out. Then, the warning message covering the entire sky suddenly disappeared as it appeared.

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

"Sure enough, have you become a lunatic from a genius?"

Klein murmured to himself, the reason given by Kayaba Akihiko is a nonsense! Who can understand?!

Klein was a little crazy. Because of such a bullshit reason, he was involved in such an inexplicable dangerous event. This luck was too heartbreaking! It was simply unacceptable!

"After this matter, what's the point? Cheer up, Klein, and try to survive in this world."

Ling Ze photographed Klein and encouraged the man. Kirito, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly made some important decisions.

He looked at Ling Ze and Klein and said, "Come with me."

Then he ran to the alley on the side without looking back. Klein looked at Ling Ze and found that Ling Ze followed directly, without hesitation at all. There was no way, Klein also accelerated his pace and came to the alley.

"Kirito, what are you going to do?"

Klein asked loudly, while Kirito stopped in the alley.

In the alley, Kirito looked serious and said to Ling Ze and Klein in a firm tone that was not in line with his age:

"I'm leaving this town right now and heading to the next village. Are you going to come with me?"

Kirito squinted his eyes slightly and bit his lips tightly. It was actually not easy for him to make this decision.

If you only bring one person, even if the current level is only 1, Kirito is confident that he can safely reach the next village from the dangerous monster, but if there is one more person, the danger will increase exponentially.

So logic is that he should leave Ling Ze and Klein alone on the road, which is the most correct choice for him, but Kirito can't do such a thing at all.

The cheerful and likable Klein and the mature and steady Ling Ze are all very suitable for being friends and have also shown goodwill to him. Kirito cannot leave them coldly.

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

Games like mm are a resource grabbing battle between players. The more limited money provided by the system, the more people with props and experience value can become stronger.

People who have the same ideas as us should continue to level up in the surrounding areas of this "start town", so that resources will be exhausted immediately, and in the end they will only become a constant competition for the system of monster-generating locations, and even a situation where monster-generating locations are occupied.

So while it's still early, we should quickly use the next village as a stronghold. I know the path to the next village and the dangerous location. Even if the level is only 1 now, we can reach it safely."

Kirito was able to say these words, which was very righteous. This shows that he really regarded Klein and Ling Ze as friends, hoping that everyone could become stronger and live together. In this case, he could still do this, and that Kirito's nature is not bad at all.

"I have no problem. Even if you don't say it, I plan to try it over and try it. The efficiency of snatching monsters with 10,000 people here is too slow. To be honest, my swordsmanship is pretty good. I can easily kill that kind of irritable mountain pig without using skills. It should be no problem to go to the next town to fight monsters."

Ling Ze replied directly, and his words surprised Klein and Kirito. Kirito breathed a sigh of relief. If Ling Ze had this kind of strength, he would no longer have to worry about not being able to protect them.

"Klein, where are you?"

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

"But... but I have already said just now that I was a good friend I met in other games and bought this game all night. Those guys should have logged in, and they should have been in that square just now. I can't let them go..."

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

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

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

"I...really... shouldn't cause you trouble..."

Klein smiled reluctantly, and he realized that he was a little bit difficult. He said he wanted to introduce his friends to Kirito, and Kirito was a little resistant. Now this request may indeed be a bit too much.

"Don't get me wrong, Klein, think about it, Kirito and I will definitely not be able to take care of each other when there are too many people. If there are victims on the way and the result is really like what Kayaba Akihiko said, the player's brain will be burned and die in the real world..."

Ling Ze stopped at this point, and Klein suddenly realized that he understood Kirito's concerns.

"If that time really comes, this responsibility will undoubtedly be attributed to Kirito, who proposes to leave the safe starting town and then has no way to protect the safety of his companions' lives. Even if you don't blame him for this, what about your friends? Where is Kirito himself?"

Ling Ze continued, reality is so cruel. Good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things, nor will it be rewarded. Kirito's worries are completely reasonable.

"Maybe... maybe...is there's another way?"

Klein felt a little uncomfortable when Ling Ze said this. He actually liked Kirito very much. This enthusiastic closed-between player played patiently for the afternoon with him, a novice, without any impatientness. He was like an old friend. Although Ling Ze's "winner in life" is enviable, it also made him feel particularly free and reliable.

"If possible, I really don't want to separate from you, but I can't continue to cause trouble for you."

Klein noticed Kirito's struggle, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head, making his own decision.

"Anyway, I also served as the president of the guild in the previous game. It doesn't matter. With the fighting skills Kirito just taught me, I shouldn't have any problems with my friends here. And... these may be really just boring pranks, maybe they will be logged out soon, so you don't have to care about me, hurry up and go to the next village, don't fall behind people, if the level is higher in the future, maybe you can take me with me."

Klein said it very freely, which made Kirito feel even more uncomfortable. In fact, everyone understands that the possibility of being a joke is almost zero. Klein said this, but he just found a reason to comfort himself.

"Why not do that, Klein, call your friends over, if someone volunteers to take risks, then take them with you, and stay here if you don't want to, how about it? This is a great opportunity, and you should give the power of choice to themselves."

Ling Ze proposed a compromise idea, which made Klein's eyes lit up, but it quickly dimmed.

"It's useless. If something really happens, you will still be under a lot of pressure. This is a living life. Stop talking. You can leave quickly, just stay alone."

Klein is a man who values ​​love and friendship. He doesn't want to give up his old friends, but he doesn't want to make things difficult for his new friends. He won't let new friends bear such a heavy burden for his own and his old friends.

Kirito remained silent, and he was struggling unprecedentedly in his heart. Obviously, the kind of life that was so heavy for a 14-year-old child.
