No. The street outside the labyrinth area on the 70th floor, which belongs to the circle, is undergoing a very heavy meeting. The large-scale meeting with the participation of all members of the clearing team occupies the entire street.

The leader stood on the pool at the end of the street, and the members of the strategy group chose their favorite positions, with the highest priority being to be able to hear the content of the meeting.

But this large-scale meeting is not for discussing the boss battle that should be held.

"That's it. The arrogance of <Smiling Coffin> is intolerable. They have deprived a large number of lives and must be punished."

The content of the meeting was about crusade against members of the most famous murder guild <Smiling Coffin>. This guild has a very complete system, and the number of murders has probably reached three digits. Many members of the strategy team cannot escape their persecution. Not to mention those ordinary players who are alone.

However, the so-called crusade refers to killing the members of <Smiling Coffin>, so what is the difference between this and what they did?

Mana and Chen stood under the corner. The two of them have always been silent parties when participating in meetings. Since they don't speak, there is no need to occupy a conspicuous position. Besides, they are both afraid of trouble.

"Is it really good to use violence to control violence?"

Mana put her arms around Chen's arms, and she was still instigated by the atmosphere to hide behind Chen in this corner where no one cared.

"Kill for life."

Never appeasement of criminals is also an idea that Chen has been instilled in. Of course, it was only an understatement, but it was deeply remembered in his mind. Compared with punishing criminals, he learned more about using soldiers. During the war, he had studied some psychology. In order to lay the foundation for controlling his subordinates in the future, he had a high attainment in criminal psychology, but he was a mess in emotional psychology.

He himself is an emotionally flawed extreme character.

"You are right, but should we be the ones doing it?"

Mana didn't think that they had the qualifications to demand someone's life.It is true that she is afraid of killing people, but this is not an excuse for her refusal to hunt down the killers. She just can't figure it out. The dead are not related to them, and they are not law enforcement officers. .

"If we don't do it, then who will do it, and if we continue to let it go, we will only sacrifice more people."

McGee didn't know when he came to their side. For this meeting, McGee was very excited. What he cared about was not whether to kill or not, but to be able to compete mercilessly with people. There is no limit of half HP, completely Defeat!

Mana had heard that McGee was a person who had itchy hands all day without fighting at school. He was constantly wounded and demerited many times.

"Shut down your boring sympathy."

McGee doesn't like Mana's sympathetic attributes. He came here because there was a quarrel in the conference center. Regarding this kind of murder, there will inevitably be disagreements. Mana and Chen are more picky places, always Huddled in a clean corner, he just came here to be quiet for a while, those serious people over there gave him a headache.

Everyone has different ideas. McGee cares about finding someone to fight to the fullest, while Chen cares about more practical issues.

"We can't let it go any longer. The more people die, the harder it will be for us to attack SAO. Since they have extended their hands to the attack team, they must be mentally prepared."

Mana has never considered this level before. Thinking about it carefully, this world has swallowed nearly 3000 lives. Inevitably.If in the end, no one can get through the game and everyone dies in the game, then what is the purpose of all this hard work!

"I see." Mana silently clenched her sword tightly, as if she could gain strength by doing so, "I will work hard."

Being stuck in the game for almost two years, no one wants to think about what the body is like in reality, and that's not a good idea.

In a few months, we will have lived in SAO for two full years, and Hechen has known each other for such a long time.

"Don't force it." Chen put his arms around her shoulders, led her back two steps, and withdrew from McKee's sight. McKee's fiery emotions could easily burn the little girl.

"You don't have to participate."

Mana looked at Chen's serious gaze, and quickly waved her hands: "It's okay, I will work hard!"

She knew that Chen said this out of concern for her, and it was definitely not just a talk. Looking at Chen's affirmative eyes, he probably already had this plan.Mana really doesn't want to crusade against any players, but she doesn't want Chen to face the killing alone. In Mana's ordinary perception, this kind of war is Shura Hell, and Chen, sooner or later, will go through war.

"Speaking of which, why don't you comment on this kind of war-like activity?"

Mana remembered what she had inquired from Chen when she was curious, including what Chen had learned.

"You don't know how to use soldiers on the march. Is it really good to let them do whatever they want?"

In fact, Mana saw Kirito arguing with the person who initiated the meeting, and she just sweated silently. From the clear or hazy voices from over there from time to time, Mana knew that the black swordsman Kirito did not approve of this kind of activity, but he did not refuse to participate, but he had objections to the total massacre that the initiator said.

Kirito, is really a gentle person.

"This is not war."

Mana would not understand that the people standing here are not soldiers, but the clearing team.

Those who can enter the strategy group are all players with certain strength. Such players will not be willing to be treated as small soldiers. Each of them has a sense of freedom, and they are all self-centered. They can accept small-scale cooperation. , It was a consideration for life protection, but they would never listen to absolute obedience or something.Disobedient soldiers are useless.

They are like a group of officers gathered together, even if they agree, they will not go to war together.

This meeting was the longest meeting in Mana's memory. It took a whole half a day to discuss, deploy, and so on. They went there after breakfast, and when they came back, it was time to think about what to have for dinner.

The action time is in the evening. As Chen said, no one will obey absolute orders, so almost everyone is assigned to a range of tasks. Their team is responsible for a small stronghold of <Smiling Coffin>. As for the headquarters , It is enough for those who think too highly of themselves to go.

Even such a small stronghold is enough for McGee to show his talents. According to the information, there are probably more than ten people lurking in this stronghold. There are as many as three masters with similar levels, and the rest are not much worse.

As for the people who are going to solve this stronghold, in addition to their team, there are also Olivier and Payne who volunteered to come with them, and...

patio.

Mana prepared a sumptuous dinner, and everyone gathered at her and Chen's house. The dining room couldn't accommodate so many people, so they simply moved to the living room to eat.

The youngest in the crowd was Payne. Mana worried about her situation. Compared with Olivier, who will be an adult in a few months like herself, Payne is two years younger. She is a little girl. ah.

"I think you are more worrying, Sister Mana."

Payne's tailoring skills are very proficient, and she has always exchanged the clothes she made for Lial's help. This child cares about these things and doesn't want to owe Lial at all.

Over time, all the clothes on Mana's side were made by her. The two girls cherished each other, and their relationship became better and better. Gradually, Payne became more intimate.

"What do I have to worry about! I'm very good!"

Mana brightened her slender arms, her soft smile was completely unconvincing.

"It's no wonder Brother Chen looks at you so closely, you really are..."

Olivier shook his head as if his heart ached, helped bring the dishes and sat beside Payne.

As Liar predicted, Olivier met peach blossoms in that tense maze area.But Mana would also think, this is not just a peach blossom level.

Olivier and Payne are already married. Mana didn't see the scene of Olivier proposing in the sea of ​​flowers, but she thought it was very romantic just thinking about it.

Payne, this child, is quite awkward sometimes.

Mana was only worried about Payne's psychological problems. Like her, she was very repulsed by this kind of action, but Payne's strength was very strong, and there should be no problem with Olivier by his side.

It's been a long time since this kind of anxiety before the action. I remember that the last time I felt this kind of anxiety was when she was preparing to participate in the boss battle for the first time.

After serving the last dish, Mana noticed the courtyard sitting silently beside her.

"That... Mr. Tianjing... are you really going?"

Mana's concern about Tianjing is a matter of strength.Tianjing's fighting skills are really not that good. Having teamed up with him once before, Mana completely lost the idea of ​​teaming up with him again.

It's not bad, but it's definitely worthy of the word poor.Most of the people I know are experts, so Mana feels like a novice when it comes to Tianjing.

In addition to technical aspects, the level of the courtyard is also a problem. The level of the strategy group is probably within the range of the number of floors plus ten to twenty, while the level of the courtyard is ten levels less than the [-]th floor at the forefront. Grades are dangerous.

"No problem, if I can't beat it, I will run."

Tianjing responded lightly and concentrated on eating. At this table, Mana was the only one who would talk to him, so he was very sensible and didn't cause any trouble.

The atmosphere of the meal was quite relaxed, and Mana planned to clean up the mess on the table when she came back. All she had to do now was to fight the battle well.

The location of the stronghold for the crusade was already clear, and they decided to split up and attack from both sides.

Olivier Payne and McGee took a step first. They wanted to attack from the front, which also meant to lure the enemy. The rest of them outflanked from the plank road behind. There were a little more people but weaker ones. Almost all of them were here.

Needless to say, Lian's level is only 74, and Liar's level is not very high because of big and small things, only 77.In terms of technology, these two guys are not as good as the young Olivier and Payne. Those two kids have an unbelievable degree of cooperation, as if they were born to cooperate with each other.

The personnel allocation is decided by Liar, but he has discussed it with Chen.

Not long after leaving, Chen handed Mana a bottle of drink. Mana had the habit of drinking water after meals, but she just didn't drink it today, so she took it.

It was just an ordinary juice drink, but after Mana finished drinking it, she poured it straight down.

She felt the changes in her body, she had no strength at all, as if her body was not her own, she lay on the ground, barely able to raise her head, saw Chen and the others who were walking in front, her eyes were in a trance, she wanted to speak but was completely speechless No sound.

Lian squatted beside her, said sorry, then picked her up and put her back under a big tree.

"We've thought about it, and the final decision is that you don't want to go." Mana couldn't move, so she could only watch Lian sit down beside her, "I will accompany you, and I can't do anything like murder. .”

Mana was very anxious inside, but she couldn't move. She was desperately running her not very bright brain, trying to find a way to move, but she finally came to a conclusion.

Paralyzed by poison.
