The Sixth Level of Academy City

2022, Neon, Tokyo.

The billboards in the city are almost occupied by the same company's name.

The signboard of "ARGUS" can be seen in almost all the bustling roads. A new product developed by this electronic machinery manufacturer can be said to have changed the entire era.

"NERvGear", this is a machine worn on the head, it can control the human brain to connect to the virtual world, so that human beings can fully enter the "real virtual reality controlled by people".

At the same time, it is naturally a virtual large-scale online role-playing game that can perfectly adapt to this virtual environment. It is called "SwordArtOnline".

Because it is the latest product, it is also very difficult to obtain the qualifications to enter the game. There are only [-] places for players to grab.

"ARGUS? Electronic machinery manufacturer? SAO? Genius designer Akihiko Kayaba?" Luo Yifang stood under a huge display screen, and the strings of information skipped above made him a little surprised.

I thought it was a very strange world, but now it seems a bit...too ordinary, right?

It is true that there is no super power and magic world, but the technological development of this world is really dark, so the black technology developed to be related to the soul by virtual reality is simply speechless.

"It's an unexpected world." Luo Fang exhaled. At first, he thought he was going to do some behind-the-scenes work again, and watch some devil king shopping, but now it seems that he can relax a little.

Compared with simply and rudely using force to reverse the world line and try some new operation methods, Luo Yifang will not feel disgusted, or he still has some expectations.

"So... maybe it's a good idea to play a mysterious person?" Luo Fangfang looked at his outfits. It's not too mysterious. How is it different from ordinary youths?

He squeezed through the dense crowd in Tokyo, and entered a dark alley without anyone else present. When he came out again, he had already put on a pure black windbreaker.

Under the bowler hat, only a few white hair tips were exposed, and he even held such a cane in his hand.

In Europe in the 19th century, this was the standard dress of a British gentleman, but in modern Tokyo, it looks a bit... weird?Or out of place?

It's just that the owner of this outfit will not be seen by passers-by. His goals are very clear, those who can affect the development of the world.

Chapter 392 Kiritani and...

"Suguha, can you take out the trash that mom put out?"

"Hi!" Kiritani Suguha walked out of the house carrying a black garbage bag, she looked at the weather outside the house, "It's terrible...it's raining, I have to get my umbrella."

The rain wasn't very strong, but Tong Gu's house was some distance away from where the garbage truck was parked, so it was impossible to go out to throw garbage in the rain.

Although he practiced kendo since he was a child, Kiritani Suguha didn't feel that his physique was so good that he wouldn't catch a cold even after being exposed to the rain at this time of year.

Besides, the clothes on her body have just been changed, so it's not okay if they get dirty.

But for some reason, Kiritani Suguha searched for a long time, but couldn't find the usual umbrella, "Mom, where is the umbrella?"

"Umbrella? It should be in the shoe cabinet, right?"

"But no," Kiritani Suguha turned around for a long time, but there was nothing.

"Huh? Are you not here? It's so strange..."

"Forget it, Mom, I'll go get the raincoat." Kiritani Suguha gave up and continued to search for the umbrella that was placed somewhere.

The raincoat at home hasn't been used for a long time, but Kiritani Suguha remembered that she should have one in her room.

When passing through a room, Kiritani Suguha looked at the familiar name on the door of the room, and she remembered the days that cast a shadow over the whole family.

The first day that the game "SwordArtOnline" was launched was a hit in the market, but what happened after that made all the family members of the players desperate.

The genius designer Kayaba Akihiko changed from a high-end scientific researcher to a murderous demon overnight. The equipment and games he personally designed trapped a total of [-] gamers in that virtual world.

Kiritani Suguha's family was also a victim of this killing game, and Kiritani Suguha also lost a very important person to him.

Kiritani Suguha put her hand on the door, her expression could not conceal the sadness, but her relatives could only lie on the cold bed in the hospital on weekdays.

If you hadn't entered that game at that time...you can still sit and eat together now...

Kiritani Suguha tried hard to hold back the tears that were almost gushing from the corners of his eyes, sniffed his nose, and stopped thinking about those sad things.

After finding the raincoat, Kiritani Suguha mentioned the garbage to be thrown out, and walked out of the house. The color of the sky was extremely dark, just like her mood at the moment.

The rain was pattering down the ground, the scenery in the distance was looming in the mist, and the billboards on the tall buildings were no longer as gorgeous as they used to be, and almost all of them were broadcasting the latest news about the SAO game.

It was a world completely disconnected from the outside world, and the only thing that could be known to the outside world was the death list that was almost always rising.

"You must be alive..." Kiritani Suguha's last belief was that her family hadn't received that cold notice yet.

The hope is slim, but it is something Kiritani Suguha can hardly let go of.

After putting the garbage into the garbage truck, Kiritani Suguha sighed, too many things happened recently...

The way home seemed to be the same as when we came here, but the rain and fog seemed to be thicker. Hearing the sound of dripping raindrops, Kiritani Suguha was still very depressed.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Tonggu's house?"

A strange voice sounded next to Kiritani Suguha's ears, she was a little dazed, and without thinking much, she pointed in the direction of her home.

"Thank you, little girl."

Eh? !Wait, is he asking for my home address?Who is it, a salesman or what?

Kiritani Suguha came back to her senses and wanted to see the man's face clearly, but the man had already walked in front, and she could only see a figure from the back.

Black windbreaker and black bowler hat, with a cane in his hand, but no umbrella in the rain... What a strange guy.

Kiritani Suguha suddenly felt that if he gave such a strange person the way, would he cause any trouble?

She immediately ran behind the other party towards the house, but for some reason, the other party was clearly walking, but she couldn't catch up with the man in black.
