best villain

I don't know when it started, Asuna felt dizzy, like an overtime worker who hasn't slept for three or four days but still insists on working hard, but she still stares at the TV screen tightly.

Familiar and unfamiliar memories flooded in, and the strong sense of disobedience almost changed her perception of the world.

Simply put, it's like a dream.

No matter how convinced she was that this was the real world, those memories were like a barrier, preventing her from connecting with the real world.

Uncontrollable panic spread to the whole body.

The shoulders trembled.

Even though Nurse Aki noticed it, she would only think it was a sign of Asuna being too worried.

"——Weiyi, can you check that player's information for me?"

"Wait for a while... I found out that the player's id is aeons, and it's written in Chinese characters as Ian. Well, although there are many meanings, the general idea should be..."

"Once upon a time...?"

Asuna murmured softly.

**************

The spiral staircase in the tower of the headquarters of the Knights of the Blood.

"—By the way, is Ian your real name?"

"No, ghost is my id. Ian is the pronunciation of aeons, which roughly means a long time ago. Ms. Asuna has also heard about me, so she should be able to guess the meaning."

"...Leaving aside my feelings for the time being, I remember asking the head of the group about the rumors of the 'Dead Sword Spirit' and told you your intelligence agency code name. Confident people are rare'. I didn't quite understand what he meant at the time, and then I kept asking, and guess what he answered?"

"He must be speaking ill of me?"

"The leader is not someone who speaks ill of people behind their backs. He just said a word at that time - no matter what time he is, his behavior style has not changed. He is a dangerous person who tries to mess up the world and correct it in his own way .”

"Dangerous people? Good reviews."

**************

"Miss Yuki?!"

Nurse An Qi exclaimed, and quickly stepped forward to support Asuna who almost fell down.

"No...I'm fine."

Having said that, Asuna turned pale.The whole person was wobbly, as if he might faint at any moment.

Nurse An Qi frowned slightly, and first helped her to a chair and sat down.

"You don't look very good. Let me get you a glass of water, and you take a rest first."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Asuna forced a smile.

In a place that Nurse Aki couldn't see.Her hands were already clenched tightly.

After that, consciousness gradually faded away.

*************

"—Why don't you try it."

"Try what?"

"Send me to the cell block, of course. It's the catharsis that most people like to give to the guy who doesn't like him."

"You mean, let me take revenge on you?"

"That's a good way of saying it. How about it? Why don't you give it a try?"

"Unacceptable. I have no reason to do this!"

"There are as many reasons as there are. If you want an upright reason, isn't my other identity the best reason? A heinous celebrity player, a murderer who wantonly assassinates many players, there is no reason for such a person Let it go? Besides, aren’t you and Diavel friends? Isn’t it normal to seek justice for a friend?”

"Of course, I won't stand still. You have to find evidence of my murder. If you can find strong evidence, then I will 'surrender' without saying a word. I believe the army will welcome the murderer. The murderer who killed your own commander-in-chief surrendered. But relatively you can only investigate alone, and you cannot disclose this matter to a third person other than me."

"...Then what if I can't find it?"

"—Until you admit your failure, then I will kill you. This is not a joke. Even in the real world, I am a well-deserved professional killer, so if you don't want to die, just investigate hard."

Asuna stared blankly at this scene.

A heroic female knight with beautiful long chestnut hair.

A black swordsman shrouded in an ominous aura.

It was here that the two made an agreement, and this agreement was the initial bond.

That beautiful girl stared stubbornly at the black-haired swordsman as if dissatisfied with the opponent's attitude.

But look at it from a third person's point of view.

Even if the other person looks exactly like himself.Asuna still couldn't help shaking her head.

How could I not have noticed?

The man obviously said that on purpose.

Asuna's nose suddenly felt a little sour.

The stage is changing.

Go back in time.

Light and shadow, silhouettes and carvings, the darkening theater, the ever-changing Wanhua mirror, the constantly revolving carousel, and the calendar flipping forward.The sun wanders from west to east.

That was the day the bond ended.

"I give you the qualification to challenge me, and I give you the ability to kill me. Even so, I, who was rejected by you, can still stand here and proudly say to you—"

The black swordsman took a deep breath.The joyful proclamation spread throughout the palace.

Passed into everyone's heart.

"Justice cannot destroy me! The world cannot defeat me! Only I can crush my will!"

"I am the one who brought you here, I am the one who hinders your escape, I am the one who empowers you to fight, and I am the one who kills you."

"So what am I?"

The black swordsman raised his head, closed his eyes as if giving up, and dropped the sword in his hand to the ground.

However, no one dared to step forward.

No matter how many elite players gathered around, their expressions contained lingering fear.

"do not want!"

Suddenly, Asuna's attention was caught by the scream of a girl.

In an instant, his expression froze.

Because, that girl was herself.

**************

I do not know how long it has been.

"Miss Yuuki?"

Nurse Aki's greeting came from my ear.

Asuna opened her eyes and saw Nurse Aki looking at her worriedly, holding a glass of water in her hand.

"...I'm fine."

Nurse Aki was a little surprised by the hoarse voice.

"Anyway, let's drink some water first."

"Ah."

After taking the cup, the hand no longer trembled.

Asuna closed her eyes, feeling very calm for some reason.

If only a few minutes ago, she would have been disturbed by her state, but now there is no need.

Because, she just retrieved the lost memory.

And, lost feelings.

Thoughts and love for that person.

Although it sounds incredible.

"However, I will not continue to stand by."

"what?"

Nurse Aki asked suspiciously.

The voice was so low that she couldn't hear it clearly.

Asuna shook her head slightly, put aside the cup she had only taken a sip from, stood up from the chair, and turned her eyes back to the TV screen.

The battle continues.

However, it seems to be coming to an end.

I remembered what my father said before leaving home.

Asuna suppressed her anger towards that person, she knew very well that there were more important things waiting for her than getting angry.

Otherwise, that ending will definitely happen.

Something had to be done, and it was hard to meet.

She would never allow that to happen a second time.

(There will be one more tonight)
