...he was in pain.

Asuna directly felt this way.The brain right now is struggling with great pain, sorrow, or fear.

The sparks that keep appearing are the screams of the brain.The phantom of the master of the brain suddenly appeared before Asuna's eyes.

His face was completely distorted, and although his mouth was open to the point where it was about to dislocate, he kept repeating silent roars.

Unable to bear this kind of imagination, Asuna couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Flashed through his head was the guidebook he saw on the upper floor that said [Experimental Subject Collection Room]—and what Auberon had said—the technique of manipulating emotions.

After combining those information with the scene in front of her, Asuna came to a conclusion.

These brain-like things are the consciousness of the players.

"You... did such a cruel thing..." Asuna covered her mouth with both hands, and then muttered in her throat.

The research carried out here, like the technology of replicating human beings, is a taboo field that humans must never enter.

In addition to being a criminal act, this also represents human thinking, that is, the soul, the greatest and last dignity, is being trampled and destroyed.

Asuna desperately suppressed her panic, and then wiped away the tears that remained in the corners of her eyes.This is absolutely unforgivable.

No, it should be said that Asuna absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen, how could someone like Nobuyuki Sugo do this kind of thing again when Zero risked his life to free the players imprisoned in the virtual world.

She must expose the bad things Xu Xiang did, so that the man will be punished as he deserves. "Wait for me... I will rescue you right away..."

After finishing speaking in a low voice, Asuna lightly stroked her painful head from the side.Then she raised her head firmly and walked quickly into the depths of the room.

Just as Asuna was moving forward, Asuna suddenly heard a human voice in her ears.

She immediately lowered her body reflexively, and then stuck her whole body on the nearby column.

Asuna carefully looked around and looked for the source of the sound.Speech-like voices flowed from the depths of the right hand side.

Asuna maintained a posture that could almost be said to be crawling, and slowly moved in that direction.

After she passed the shadow of several columns, she saw something rather strange ahead.

She hastily retracted her body back.After blinking several times, he poked his head out timidly.

——The No.60 floor of Aincrad, which has disappeared now, is called [Bug Paradise].

Just like its name, the entire floor is full of bug-type monsters. For most female players, including Asuna, it is like hell.

Among the monsters, the most annoying is a huge slug-shaped monster called "Bull Slug".Its gray skin with black markings is surrounded by a thick slime.

The appearance of glaring at people with three pairs of eye stalks and then attacking with tentacles from its mouth can be said to be Asuna's nightmare——

But right now, a few meters away from Asuna, the two creatures talking with their backs to her were very similar to bull slugs.

Huge slugs peered at a brain in a cylinder and exchanged lively opinions.

The slug on the right shook its long eyes and said sharply, "Experiment No. 3 has exceeded the limit."

"It's just a coincidence, after all, it's been like this for so long."

"No, this is the result of the formation of emotional induction circuits."

"Well—in short, it's better to continue to list him as an observation object... Tsk, there is no way, there are too few experimental objects..."

Disgusted by the two slugs talking in high-pitched voices, Asuna hid under the shadow of the pillar again.

I don't know why they looked like that, but they should be the subordinates who helped Sugo conduct inhumane experiments.

There was not a trace of unease of conscience to be heard in their conversation.

Asuna clenched her right hand tightly, thinking that if she had a sword in her hand... she would be able to give these two ugly guys what they deserved.

She finally calmed down the burning anger, and then slowly backed away.

After putting some distance away from the slugs, Asuna headed further into the room again.

She cautiously passed one column after another at the fastest speed, and finally came to the deepest part of the room.

Sure enough, a black cube could be seen floating in front of the white wall in the distance.

The black cube reminded her of the system console she had seen in the underground labyrinth at the bottom of Aincrad.

If I can use that console to gain administrator privileges, I might be able to log out of this crazy world.

But there is no object that can be used as cover for the rest of the journey.

Asuna took a deep breath, made up her mind and ran out from the shadow of the column.

She tried not to make any noise and rushed towards the system console with all her might.

Although the distance is only about ten meters, it feels like it will never be reached.

Every time I take a step, I worry about whether someone is calling her from behind.

But Asuna still moved her stiff feet desperately, and finally came to the front of the console.

She turned immediately and looked at it.In the distance where many columns are lined up, tentacles can be seen shaking slightly.Looks like the slugs are still having a lively conversation.

Asuna faced the pitch-black console again.Although the black beveled table didn't move, there was a slit on its right end, and a silver object that should be a card key could be seen inserted in the slit.

She reached out her hand as she prayed, grabbed the card and slid it down in one breath.

The "Bang!" sound effect sounded, causing Asuna to shrink her neck in fright.A light blue window and a three-dimensional keyboard appear on the left side of the slit.

You can see that the window is full of various options.Asuna held back her anxiety, and checked the small English characters from the very bottom.

She found 【T

t (transfer)] button, and then touched the button with trembling fingers.

As a result, a new window emerged with a crisp sound.

A floor plan of the entire research facility is marked on it.It seems that the system can be used to jump to various places at will.

But Asuna was no longer willing to stay here.

She moved her eyes desperately, and saw [Exit vi
