Infinite Trial from the Giant

Linde.

Xia Tian had no impression of this person at all.

But according to Argo, this person was a member of Diabel's team. He also participated in the attack on the first floor BOSS yesterday. After Diabel's death, he became the new captain of Diabel's team.

Lind died at ten o'clock in the evening, but this time was discovered by Argo accidentally when he was checking his friend list. As long as you have added friends, you can easily see the general status of your friends from the list, and a conspicuous status like death can be seen at a glance.

Generally speaking, most players would have the habit of returning to towns or bases to rest after seven o'clock. Not many people would be willing to spend a night in the unsafe wild. Of course, it is not ruled out that some players who have their own purposes or do not care about this will prepare sleeping bags or tents to spend the night in the wild, but this will naturally face corresponding risks. If Lind died at the hands of monsters while spending the night in the wild, it would not be a noteworthy thing. The reason why Argo really paid attention to this matter was that the other members of Lind's team did not step out of Urbas last night.

"Diabel's sacrifice dealt them a heavy blow. After coming up from the first floor, they have been staying in Urbas and have no intention of continuing to explore."

"You mean, Lind died in this Urbas? In this safe zone?" Loki was obviously a little unconvinced. "Even if there is a player who wants to kill, it is impossible to kill in this safe zone. It is more likely that he committed suicide, right?"

It's not that there haven't been cases of suicide. In fact, the first player to die in Sword Art Online committed suicide. He became frightened and desperate due to Diabel's death, and then committed suicide. This explanation is indeed reasonable.

But Argo shook his head: "No, he didn't die in the safe zone."

"what?"

"Someone saw Lind walking out of Urbas alone with a player at night."

"Alone? So it seems that the player who walked out of Urbas with him is a member of the killing team?" Xia Tian said thoughtfully, "Since he is willing to go out alone with the other party at night, is he an acquaintance? Or was he tricked out?"

“If you do something like murder, the other party’s name will be displayed in red, and if they are seen, they will be exposed immediately.” Loki immediately thought of the system’s rules.

Argo nodded. "If he really killed someone, he probably wouldn't dare to return to Urbas. Anyway, you should be careful. After all, if their target is really the players who are trying hard to clear the level, you will probably be their target too."

Although she is an information dealer, Argo is also a player after all. This place is no longer a game. No normal person would want to be trapped in such a place forever, so Argo does this naturally. Providing free strategy guides to novice players and actively informing Xia Tian and others about this are also her contributions to completing the game as soon as possible.

"If there really are players who specialize in killing people, we really need to pay attention to it." Liz's expression on the side was a little solemn and unhappy. You know, she was only one boss away from leaving here and returning to the fighters, but this kind of thing suddenly happened at this time, and the opponent's target was a player who specialized in strategy, which really made her feel depressed.

"That's right, Argo. You have to be careful when investigating something like this," Kirito advised Argo, being as considerate as ever.

"Thank you for your concern, Kirito-kun." Grinning, Argo stood up and walked to Xia Tian's side, saying, "Isn't this midnight snack of yours in vain?"

Seeing something else in Argo's eyes, Xia Tian also smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Then go and fulfill your wish now. Others don't need to follow me. I don't plan to prepare any for you."

After walking out of the house with Argo and heading to a nearby restaurant, Xia Tian turned around and said, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

"How perceptive." Argo didn't intend to hide it. She had just revealed that she wanted to talk to Xia Tian alone.

The two walked side by side on the road. Argo took out a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to Xia Tian, ​​saying, "This should be for you."

For me?

Xia Tian reached out and took the paper that Argo handed over, then looked down.

"That's great. You defeated the Kobold Lord by yourself. With your ability, it should be easy for you to deal with the BOSS on the second floor. I advise you to get out of here as soon as you are done. Otherwise, you will end up like Linde."

This was the message left on the paper that Argo handed over.

"This thing should be aimed at you." At this time, Argo's voice came faintly.

"Where did you get this from?" Xia Tian asked immediately.

"In Linde's hotel room." Argo answered, and then she looked at Xia Tian with a probing look, "I say, what does it mean when it says to get back home as soon as possible after this is over?"

Xia Tian ignored Argo's question, his thoughts had turned back to the scene of the previous attack on the Kobold Lord.

Sure enough, there were other fighters there at the time.

Looking at the message, it seems that they want me to return after completing the main goal like Liz. What is the purpose? They want me to return to the fighters in this way and then monopolize the remaining additional goals?

But if that's the case, why kill others? Although he won't become a red name, the loss of such frontline players will not help the completion of the additional objectives. Or is it just to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, to prove to me that he is not joking, but really has the intention to kill.

What a trouble, this guy hiding in the dark.

"What are you thinking about? No matter what, this is meant to threaten you. You'd better be careful. I don't want to see you dead." Seeing that Xia Tian had no intention of answering his previous question, Argo was not surprised. It seemed that he did not intend to delve into it further, so he changed the subject.

"You are the one. You'd better not continue investigating this matter. I don't want to see you dead. After all, I still need your map integration and strategy book."

He stopped, turned around and looked at Xia Tian seriously for a few seconds. Argo then burst out laughing. "Are you caring about me? That's rare. But now you should think about what midnight snack to treat me to."

"Yes, let's go." Xia Tian also smiled and turned and walked forward.
