Start with delicious food

……

Time returns to the present.

Qin Hao quickly rushed up from the bottom of the maze. After seeing the people surrounding Asuna and Yui, Qin Hao's face darkened.

Then he charged into the crowd. The two swords swept across and then whirlwind slashed, and tens of thousands of AOE damage exploded in an instant, killing more than 20 players in an instant.

For this group of level 50 players whose maximum health points are less than 8,000, any attack by Qin Hao can make them owe Qin Hao a life.

"Asuna, you and Yui stay back. Let me handle this."

After saying that, Qin Hao once again activated the double sword skills and the quick movement skills.

Another round of whirlwind kills more than thirty players again like mowing grass.

Seeing that more than fifty people were killed by Qin Hao, King Ya and his players were completely frightened.

"Weird, monster!"

"Quick, run away!"

"Don't kill me! I surrender, surrender! They forced me!"

For a moment, the players under Kibaou's command were throwing and running.

But because of Kibaou's cleverness, this place became a crystal invalid zone.

So these players who want to escape cannot use the transfer crystal to escape.

After noticing that someone wanted to run away, Qin Hao directly used his displacement skills to block their escape.

Then came a new round of massacre.

……

In a short time, those who tried to escape were killed by Qin Hao. And those Qin Hao who surrendered did not let them go.

A few consecutive blows sent them all to the countdown to wait for resurrection.

Seeing that the one hundred and sixty-nine people he brought were killed without leaving any one behind.

Realizing that he was destined to die today, Kibaou decisively gave up his resistance.

He knew that even if he could be resurrected, he would definitely be kicked out of the army. And because I have offended a lot of people, I am afraid there is no chance to start over again. From now on, I can only eat and die in the starting town.

When I think about it, I was still a majestic high-ranking military officer, and even once had the power to compete for the guild president.

But now he is about to lose everything. Even reduced to the bottom of this world.

Kibaou's face showed an extremely spiteful look.

Then he simply broke the jar and cursed at Qin Hao.

"You monster! Cheater!"

"Asshole! Why do you want to ruin my good deeds! Obviously this matter has nothing to do with you at all!"

"And since you, a cheater, are so powerful, why don't you go to the front lines to conquer the floor!"

"Ah, I understand, you are Kayaba Akihiko!"

"You murderer! You..."

Before King Ya could finish his words, Qin Hao killed him by cutting off his head with a sword.

Qin Hao said softly as he watched Yaou transform into colorful fragments and gradually disappear.

"It seems that you have a strong opinion of me. It just so happens that I am a very vindictive person."

"So, it's normal that the people trapped in a certain SAO incident died suddenly due to physical disorder due to being trapped in the game world for more than a year."

……

With the crisis resolved, Yuliel finally reunited with Xinka.

However, because he had not eaten for a long time, Xinka fell into an extremely weak state as his satiety level reached the bottom.

In the end, after Yuliel thanked Qin Hao and his party repeatedly, she carried Xinka and used the transfer crystal to leave here first.

Qin Hao told Asuna and Yui about his guess that there might be some important item here.

Then he entered the safe area where Xinka originally hid.

The space here is entirely composed of pure white.

In the center of this space is a rectangular blue stone platform.

After seeing this stone platform, Yui seemed to remember something. Tears began to flow from his eyes.

Noticing tears streaming down Yui's face, Asuna quickly knelt down and hugged Yui distressedly.

"Little Yui! Were you...were you scared just now? I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault for letting you see such a terrifying scene."

Yui shook her head. Then a tangled and complicated look appeared on his face.

"Miss Asuna, Mr. Wind Spirit Moon Shadow..."

Asuna was stunned for a moment when she heard such a call.

"Xiao Yui, you...did you remember anything?"

Yui nodded.

"Yes, I...remembered everything."

"This game world called SAO is actually dominated by a huge system."

"The name of this system is Cardinal."

"A system that can operate by itself without any manual maintenance. The overall balance of SAO can be adjusted through the system's independent judgment."

"Including the running AI of monsters or NPCs, props and currency data. These are all operated by the program group controlled by the Cardinal system."

"Even the mental treatment of players is the same."

"Mental health counseling program, trial number one. Codename Yui. That's me."

The pupils in Asuna's eyes tightened instantly.

She couldn't believe that Yui's true identity turned out to be an AI program.

"Program... Yui, you... are AI!?"

Yui nodded moodily.

"In order not to cause discomfort to the players, I was given an emotional simulation mechanism."

"That is to say, all my feelings are fake, all of them are..."

As she said that, tears fell from Yui's eyes again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Asuna..."

Looking at Yui crying alone in front of her.

Asuna reached out to comfort Yui.

But after a moment of silence, Asuna didn't know what to say.

He could only change the subject abruptly.

"Then, why did you lose your memory, Yui? Can that happen to AI as well?"

After a moment of silence, Yui spoke.

"On the day when the server officially started operating more than a year ago, I don't know why Cardinal suddenly banned all my interference with players."

"There is nothing I can do. I can only stay in that dark place and continue to monitor the player's mental state."

"At the beginning, the players' status was normal, but then... it can be said that it was terrible."

"Fear, anger, even despair. Players are dominated by these negative emotions."

"I should have rushed to those players immediately to calm their spirits."

"But for some reason I'm prohibited from contacting players."

"As time went on, my program gradually began to error and crash due to two conflicting commands to rush to the player and prohibit contact with the player."

"During this period, I discovered that there is a group of players whose mental state is completely different from the rest of the players."

"No, to be precise, I can't determine their mental state."

"Then I discovered that a player who originally had a negative emotional value like other players had a rapid change in his emotional value after coming into contact with these special players."

"Joy, serenity, optimism...but so much more."

"To reach as many players as possible who have changed."

"I started trying to hang around the area where that player was."

"But the price is that I lost all my 'memory' and authority. Until I came back here. I received the backup I left in the past. So I restored my memory."
