Lyfa let go of the knife, put away her posture, and asked Crompiss in a low voice: "So, what's the matter?"

"Something has happened. In short, I will give you an explanation of the end of the quest on behalf of the others who cannot move—the magical girls cut off the domain guardian 'The Flower of Life' entrenched in the cemetery of that city, Its function is to reproduce all life in the most prosperous period of life in a region's history, and revive them in the form of clay monsters, but the revived existence has no knowledge of this, and will continue to repeat what it did before it was alive, fulfilling its previous life. Responsibility. This is just sending back the guy who was originally in the cemetery, there is no need to be sad because your mission seems to have indirectly killed a whole city."

"... Even if it is such a life, if Kirito realizes that the result of that mission is so tragic, he will think of other ways. But why did you say it until now, in order to get revenge for turning you into a hamster?"

"Hee hee hee, you understand it very well. Don't talk about these useless things. It's better to find someone who can move and take a walk on the street with me." Cloenpiss said.

"Can it move... Could it be?!" Lyfa turned around and ran in without caring about anything else.

Because they couldn't find a cheap room to live in, they lived together in order to save money. Anyway, the number of rooms in the presidential suite is not bad, and there are many places to sleep. live here.

After a while, some panicked voices came from inside, and Kirito came out with a sullen face and asked, "Saiwen can't wake up no matter what, what happened to him?"

"It's not long since you first came to this world, didn't you all have a state of soul shelling for ten to tens of minutes, that's it." Cloenpiss replied.

Kirito remembered that the NERvGear with its built-in backup power supply entered a semi-standby state when the power was low. During the beta test period, players could only click the logout button to temporarily exit the game, charge the NERvGear or plug it in, of course. It can't be done now, presumably the half standby time is the time when the players are transferred to the hospital.

So now is the power outage in the area where Saiwen's body is located in reality?

"The problem is worse than imagined." Klaumpis walked to the window opposite the door and pulled the curtains open.

Kirito and the girls who came out came to have a look, and they were either speechless or covered their mouths to swallow the screams.

On the street, a large number of players fell in disorder on the street and lost their movement. The guards are organizing to move them to a suitable place and put them neatly, but there seems to be not enough manpower.

Asuna: "Could it be... a device failure?"

Lyfa: "Hey, so we can soon..."

Kirito: "It's best not to be so optimistic. If this situation occurs locally 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 will not affect the ability of NERvGear to use the remaining power to destroy the brain. Function, if anyone falls down during the battle at this time, he will die. Judging from the current situation, the problem may be the 23rd district. Yui, can you find anything?"

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really easy to use, download it here; everyone can try it soon. 】

Yui: "The only thing that can be determined is the lack of power, but I have no way of knowing what happened over there."

"Hey, Kirito, don't just use the special vocabulary for human adventurers from over there, please explain in a way I can understand, okay?" Niluniel said dissatisfied.

"Uh, that is to say...Although we have come to Aincrad, our body...soul is still somewhat involved with that world. It seems that something bad happened there, which indirectly had a very bad impact on some human adventurers. Probably so." Kirito thought for a while and said.

Lyfa: "Then, it is impossible to ask the priestess of the holy tree to pray and remove the petrification of thousands of people and ensure the conditions for customs clearance..."

Asuna: "Could it be this matter, even the 23rd District has a large-scale power outage, let alone clearing the customs, if there is a problem with our life-saving medical equipment... Is there anything we can do here?"

Crohnpith: "Probably don't worry about the holy tree. Not long ago, Mihoko Fuyutsuki obtained another method to destroy the demonized holy tree. I don't know more about it. That's right, those people They are also liberated, but if things turn out like this, maybe it would be safer not to be liberated, hee hee hee."

"?!" The second daughter was very surprised by the news about that person, but luckily it was not bad news.

At this time, Kirito is using [The Art of Distant Talking] to frantically call the players who can be contacted. It is basically certain that the players in the 23rd district including Tokyo and Academy City and the SAO Countermeasure Headquarters have all been wiped out—falling into a semi-standby state , Maybe some people died directly, but other places seem to be all right now, including the companions who stayed in the lower floors.

Crohnpith suddenly laughed: "Hahahahahaha, really, is this the world after all? Thanks to my hard work, I can only face destruction in the end. Really, hehehe."

"Is the doomsday approaching?" Nilu Nier's expression was complicated.

"Miss Crampis, are you willing to confess everything up to this point? You can also see that our survival is also closely related to the survival of this world. What is the reason for the somewhat contradictory actions so far?" Asuna asked .

"Take you to a place. Don't worry, it won't be far away. It's within this city. It doesn't matter if you meet up with your companions." Cloenpiss jumped out of the window and landed on the street.

"I'll keep an eye on it first to avoid small movements~lightnovelpub.net~ You guys go up the stairs." Kirito followed and jumped down.

The girls looked at each other in dismay, and were willing to give it a try when they were protected by the inner circle. Now... let's take the stairs.

Kraunpiss led them to walk along the main street, ignoring the fallen players around them. Kirito and his party couldn't bear it, but they didn't do anything, because it was meaningless.

After a while, Argo and Yuuki (NPC status), who were the only ones left among the friends, came to meet up. Yuuki looked at Crohnpiss with a complex look and a trace of fear, while Argo looked as expected and was ready at any time. The appearance of fleeing for one's life.

Cloenpis thought that the number of people would not increase for the time being, so he said without looking back: "As for the question Asuna asked me just now—if, one day, I find that my existence itself is to be killed by players, all the experience and memory are meaningless, they are all just to serve the point of being killed, what should I do? No matter what I do, I will make the event of contact with the player into a state where I am about to be killed. Really desperate, no ?"

This is the beginning of Crompis.
