The battle is over, Yuuki plans to send both the orange and red players who surrendered to prison.
However, how to send them? There is no way to take them to the city to hand them over to the guards in this place. Only violating ethics can activate the function of teleporting to the prison. Then, force them to hug...
Yuuki shook her head violently, wondering if she was also broken. In fact, it would be fine if the borderline only lasted for a while, but they would not give in. They had to solve this problem first.
She knew what to do, so she continued walking and took out a dagger quenched with paralysis poison from the item list.
Paralyzing poison is quite scary for a game where the player and the operating character are integrated, so paralyzing poison is hard to find and expensive, but most of it is not used for PK, but to immobilize monsters that move or attack quickly.
It can be used, but the use of any prop depends on the user. Of course, it can also be used for pk.
But no matter what, this dagger did have the potential to reduce HP to zero, which made those people panic.
"Wait, wait, we have surrendered, hurry up, use that!" one person shouted.
Yuuki stopped and put his hand on the hilt of the "Joyeuse" sword. He didn't know what other despicable methods they had. The most terrifying thing is for a trapped beast to fight, so he had to be more vigilant.
But some people quickly swiped their fingers and clicked on the operation interface a few times, and the cursor on their head suddenly turned green.
"You already have a red reputation! If you attack us who have a green reputation again, it will become more difficult to regain your green reputation. How about..."
Yuuki's mind was already in a state of chaos, but with this added stimulation, she couldn't hear the rest of her words.
In other words, these murderers have a way to disguise themselves as good people recognized by the system and blend in with the crowd?
But doesn't this mean that in a seemingly safe circle, even among the passers-by who used to think they were good people, there may be murderers peeping at the unsuspecting lives of animals waiting to be slaughtered?
How can such a thing happen?
When they came back to their senses, they had no one left alive.
At this moment, a gray hooded cloak fell on her.
When she saw it, it was Nimu who brought it.
"Here's one of the artifacts we captured from killing those people. It will be useful to Yuuki." She said, and then flew away to check the situation.
Yuki clicked on the description of the hooded cloak. This is a piece of equipment called a concealment cloak. After putting it on, it can hide the cursor above your head from the eyes of other players. Your coordinates will no longer be displayed on the system map, even if you add it.
Friends and people who have formed a team cannot be confirmed either.
Of course, if you have the advanced skill [Tracking] of [Search for Enemies], have sufficient proficiency, or have similar skills and magic, you can still confirm it, but this is enough to hide it from most players and guards.
How could there be such a thing? However, considering that cities within the circle still have considerable advantages over players compared with neutral cities outside the circle, and murderers are not real murderers with extreme crimes in ordinary games, this kind of equipment
The appearance of does not destroy the balance.
Is it the same method as the way they casually turned the cursor green just now? Is there such a convenient method but also requires a cloak that looks suspicious no matter how you walk around town? Or is there any difference between the two methods?
Conditions and restrictions?
Yuuki thought it would be nice if Kirito was here. He was very good at this and would be able to make a reasonable analysis.
But the concealment cloak was the only thing that had a calming effect on Yuuki now. She pulled the concealment cloak into the equipment slot and put it on her body. She still felt that she could not calm down. She hugged her with her legs bent and pulled the cloak hard with her hands.
Wrap yourself tightly.
After a moment, there was an imposing noise nearby. Yuuki jumped up and stood up reflexively. Seeing that the three men had finished cleaning the battlefield, Fusi took the lead and suggested that they go back quickly.
Yuuki forced out her courage and stepped forward to ask a question that she didn't even know the meaning of: "Excuse me, for everyone, is this how the world is?"
"Eh? Isn't that natural?" Foss tilted his head inexplicably.
Although the power system and social rules are different from the world they lived in in the past, from joining together or hostile killings of different groups and ethnic groups, to improving their strength through training and defeating beasts and monsters, this has always been their lifestyle.
"Then, in normal times...that, before and after a war...no, what do you usually do when you are all preparing to fight powerful monsters together, or preparing to fight against people who invade your homeland?"
"Eat, sleep, recharge your batteries and train your strength. When you encounter enemies and monsters, fight with all your strength. Isn't this natural?" Stella said.
"Oh, I understand." Fushi reached out and patted Yuuki on the shoulder and said, "I understand this feeling. Yuuki, you have never seen war in the past, right? We understand, because we have also seen peaceful life.
There are many people who are victims of sudden fierce battles and suffer psychological breakdown. But everyone is strong, and strong people and those who survive help those who cannot survive on their own, and soon everyone will be able to overcome the difficulties and return to their daily lives.
"
"Woo, ho, ho, haha..." Because he said the correct answer for Yuuki and in fantasy novels too seriously and enthusiastically, Yuuki couldn't help but laugh.
After all, it is so uncanny to personally participate in something like this, but to actually say something about it with such an everyday feeling, I can only laugh.
Probably, even if she doesn't want to get used to it, she will get used to it very quickly, just like how she quickly developed the feeling of being alienated from her classmates because of her illness to lying on a bed in an isolation ward all day long.
"Yeah, thank you. How do we get out of here?" she asked with a forced smile.
Doris patted the jeweled gold belt and said, "This can be sent back to everyone."
"What about you, Dorothy-chan?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." Dorothy also looked distressed and said, "But... I don't know how to get home."
Yuuki clicked out of the task bar and found that the task had been updated. Perhaps because the task was completed, this place was no longer a place like the maze area. The system map could also be used. There was a yellow exclamation mark on the bottom map of Aincrad.
However, the roads connecting various towns unrelated to the labyrinth area are marked, but there is no road leading there.
By the way, her position was not visible on the map, so Yuuki thought that maybe it was a temporarily generated map for Dorothy's mission.
She clicked on the inactive gray exclamation mark, which displayed the words "Witch House."
"Then, can you go and ask for help from the kind witch who helped Dorothy?" Yuuki asked.
"Hey...yes, there is a way...but how to get there?"
