Leafa let go of the knife, put away her posture, and asked Crounpis in a low voice: "So, what's the matter?"
"Something big has happened. Anyway, I will explain the end of the mission to you on behalf of the others who are unable to move. The magical girls cut off the domain guardian 'Flower of Death' that was entrenched in the cemetery of that city.
life)', its function is to reproduce all the lives in the most powerful period of life in the history of a region, and resurrect them in the form of clay monsters. However, the resurrected existence has no knowledge of this and will continue to repeat what it did in life.
, to fulfill the duties of his lifetime. This is just to send back the guy who was originally in the cemetery. There is no need to feel sad because his mission seems to have indirectly killed a whole city."
"...Even with such a being, if Kirito realized that the mission's outcome was so tragic, he would have thought of other ways. But why are you only telling me now that he turned you into a hamster in order to get revenge?"
"Hehehe, you know it very well. Don't say these useless things, find someone who can move and go for a walk with me on the street. This will make it easier to explain." Clawnpisi said.
"Able to move...could it be?!" Leafa didn't care about anything else, turned around and ran in.
Since they couldn't find a cheap room to live in, they lived together to save money. Anyway, the number of rooms in the presidential suite was okay, and there were plenty of places to sleep. Yui, Asuna, Saimon, and Nelnel also
live here.
After a while, some panicked voices came from inside. Kirito came out with a gloomy face and asked: "Saiwen can't wake up no matter what, what happened to him?"
"Not long after you came to this world, didn't you all experience a state of soul shelling for ten to tens of minutes? That's it." Crounpis replied.
Kirito remembered that it was the nervgear with built-in backup power supply that entered the semi-standby state when the power was insufficient. During the closed beta period, the player could only click the logout button to temporarily exit the game and charge the nervgear or connect it to the power supply. Of course
It can't be done now, so that half-standby time must be the time when players are transferred to the hospital.
So now there is a power outage in the area where Saiwen's body is located in reality?
"The problem is worse than imagined." Crounpis walked to the window opposite the door and pulled open the curtains.
Kirito and the girls who followed him came over and took a look. They were either speechless or covered their mouths to swallow their screams.
On the street, a large number of players lay scattered on the street, losing all movement. The guards were organizing to move them to a suitable place and put them neatly, but the manpower did not seem to be enough.
Asuna: "Is it... an equipment failure?"
Leafa: "Hey, will we be able to... soon?"
Kirito: "It's best not to be so optimistic. If this situation occurs locally and on a large scale, it may be caused by a problem with the network switch, or it may be caused by a large-scale power outage, but these do not affect Nervgear's ability to use the remaining power to destroy the brain.
Function, if anyone falls in battle at this time, he will be dead. Judging from the current situation, the problem may be in the 23rd District. Yui, can you find anything?"
Yui: "What is certain is that the power is insufficient, but I have no way of knowing what happened over there."
"Hey, Kirito, don't just use the vocabulary used by human adventurers from over there. Could you please explain it in terms that I can understand?" Nelnel said dissatisfied.
"Well, that is to say... although we have arrived in Aincrad, our bodies... and souls are still somewhat involved in that world. Something bad seems to have happened there, which has indirectly caused terrible consequences to some human adventurers.
The influence is probably like this." Kirito thought for a while and said.
Leafa: "Then, wouldn't it be impossible to ask the witches of the Holy Tree to pray and remove the petrification of thousands of people and ensure the conditions for clearance..."
Asuna: "Isn't this what it is? Even District 23 is experiencing a massive power outage. Let alone clearing the border, if there is a problem with our life-sustaining medical equipment...is there anything we can do here?"
Crowenpis: "There is probably no need to worry about the Holy Tree. Not long ago, Mihoko Fuyutsuki obtained another method to eliminate the Demonized Holy Tree. I don't know more about it. By the way, those people
They’ve all been liberated, but if things turn out like this, maybe it’s safer not to be liberated, hehehehe.”
"?!" The two girls were very surprised by the news about that person. Fortunately, it wasn't bad news.
At this time, Kirito is using the "Far-reaching Art" to frantically call the players who can contact him. It is basically certain that all the players in the twenty-three districts including Tokyo and Academy City, as well as the SAO Countermeasures Headquarters, have been wiped out - falling into semi-standby.
Due to the current state, some people may have died directly, but other places seem to be fine for now, including the companions who stayed on the lower level.
Crounpisi suddenly laughed: "Hahahahahaha, really, is this the world after all? Thanks to all my hard work, I still have to face destruction in the end, really, hehehe."
"Is the Day of Destruction approaching?" Nelunelle looked complicated.
"Miss Krampis, are you willing to confess everything now? You seem to be able to see that our survival is closely related to the survival of this world. What is the purpose of our somewhat contradictory actions so far?" Asuna asked
.
"I'll take you to a place. Don't worry, it won't be very far. It's within this city. It doesn't matter if you contact your companions to meet up." Crounpis jumped out of the window and fell to the street.
"I'm going to keep an eye on you to avoid making any small moves. You can take the stairs." Kirito followed and jumped down.
The girls looked at each other for a while. They were still willing to give it a try when they were protected by the circle. Now... let's take the stairs.
Crownpiss led them walking along the main street, ignoring the fallen players around them. Kirito and the others looked at it with dismay, but they didn't do anything because it was pointless.
After a while, Argo and Yuuki (NPC status), the only remaining friends who were still able to move, came to meet up. Yuuki looked at Crounpis with a complex look in her eyes, with a hint of fear, while Argo looked expected and ready at any time.
The look of running for his life.
Crownpis thought that the number of people would not increase for the time being, so she said without looking back: "As for the question Asuna asked me just now - if, one day, I find that my existence is to be killed by players, everything will
What should I do if my experiences and memories are meaningless and are just for the purpose of being killed? No matter what I do, the events that come into contact with the player will be made into a state where I will be killed. I am really desperate.
