Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

The real world... Believe that here, there will be some wonderful adventures waiting for him that are not inferior to that world. He believes that as long as he has Zero as his partner, all difficulties in the future will not be a problem.

He will welcome the coming, new life with a new attitude.

Battles and life-or-death crises are a thing of the past.

The future - is good...

Kazuto Kiritani of Zeng Jin thinks so.

At least two months ago, before hearing the news, Tong Gu Kazuto thought so.

Chapter 310 Continuation

Kirito was lying on the bed.

Trying to return to the starting point of that dream, she temporarily closed her eyes, and then gave up and opened her eyelids a little later.

What catches the eye is not the fantasy-style ceiling of SAO, nor the white wall panels of the hospital, but the walls made of slender wooden boards.The material of the bed is not gel, but a mattress with cotton sheets on it, and of course there are no drips or syringes on the wrist.

This is - Kiritani Kazuto's room in the real world.

He looked around his surroundings.In this six-tatami-sized room, there is a natural wood floor, which is very rare nowadays.The entire room is very simply furnished, except for the computer desk, the closet, and the three pieces of furniture, the iron bed that I am sitting on now.

In the middle of the upright closet, there is an old dark blue helmet.This is called [NERvGea

] was a completely submerged VR connection device that trapped him in that imaginary world for two years.

After a long and bitter struggle, he was finally freed from this machine, and he was able to feel the real world with his eyes and touch as he is now.

Yes, he came back successfully.

However, his partner, most important friend, seems to have stayed there forever.

Recalling the news I learned two months ago——

"This person's real name is Ye Ling, but he later changed his name to Lin Mu."

"He is from China and is an international student."

"He's an orphan with no relatives."

"He died, and the moment the others woke up, his NERvGea

The internal parts are charred, like the other breadwinners who died in-game. "

"The body has disappeared and may have been stolen and the police are investigating."

……

When he heard the news, Kirito fell to the ground with all his strength.

You can't imagine how much the death of a close friend who has been with you for two years and entrusted his life can be a blow to a person.

Tong Gu Kazuto's psychological endurance is not very strong. After that, the psychiatrist made a diagnosis - depression.

Later, when he learned from other people that Asuna had also received the news——

Kiritani Kazuto had attempted suicide, he couldn't imagine what would happen to Asuna knowing Zero's death.

Guilt and remorse almost overwhelmed him.

If it hadn't happened to be stopped by his sister Kiritani Suguha, Kirito would have died, he committed suicide.

Burying his head in the quilt, isolating all disturbances from the outside world, the real world is too cruel, even more cruel than SAO.

Ding ding ding ding ding——————

The cell phone next to the pillow rang suddenly, and Kirito stretched out his palm and took the cell phone into the quilt.

Caller ID is an unfamiliar number.

Kiritani Kazuto scanned the screen with numb eyes and clicked to answer.

"Hello." The voice was hoarse and depressed.

"Hi, I'm Asuna."

The familiar voice came from the opposite side.

Kiritani Kazuto trembled, and the phone slipped from his hand and fell on the bed.

He looked at the incoming call screen on the mobile phone, trembling uncontrollably, he didn't dare to pick it up again.

I can't even hear that voice anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Kiritani Kazuto picked up the phone again with a trembling palm, and put it to his ear with great courage...

"Are you listening, Kirito-kun?"

"...I'm... I'm listening..."

"Really, that's good, I got your mobile phone number from Liz."

"...um...then...what's the matter?"

"It's about...zero."

"..." Kirito's pupils shrank, and he almost wanted to throw away his phone and hide under the quilt again.

That name has become a deep wound in his heart, and it is the kind that is enough to tear the heart.

But the next moment, a voice on the phone made his life a little bit more colorful——

"Zero—not dead."

"What?! What did you say? Zero... isn't dead? Where is he?" Kirito asked quickly, and he got up from the bed.

"Someone sent me a text message, saying that they want to know the news of Zero, so they need to clear ALO... I... and Zero, I need your help."

"... ALO... the game? I see, I'm going to buy the game..."

"Well, that's it, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Kirito put down his cell phone, he raised his head, and the numbness and depression in his eyes disappeared.

An indescribable brilliance burst out. At this moment, he seemed to return to SAO. The decadent boy Kiritani Kazuto disappeared, and now he is the partner of Starlight Praise Zero, the black swordsman—Kirito!
