I opened a black shop in Zongman

In the end, it was the dark elf sister on the side who helped Asuna clear up the misunderstanding.

She really looks like Asuna's older sister...

Looking at Miss Dark Elf who was also holding Yui affectionately in her arms, Tatsumi couldn't help thinking this way in his heart.

Chapter 165 Chapter 160 Chapter [-] Truth and Hypocrisy

Blood Knights.

It's really a second name...

"Isn't this... the silver-haired uncle's guild?"

Asuna remembered that she had received an invitation not long ago, although she had declined it.

"Are you sure Kayaba Akihiko is here too?"

"Uncle Silver Hair? It seems that you have already met him."

Tatsumi pushed open the door in front of him, he knew that Akihiko Kayaba was inside.

And maybe it's waiting for them too.

"What have you seen?"

Asuna, who didn't care at first, suddenly exclaimed "Huh" after hearing Tatsumi's words.

"You, you mean, he, he is..."

The girl's face was full of horror.

A frightening sense of trembling instantly spread throughout her body.

Heathcliff, this man who always wears red armor...but the first friend she met in this game.

They also participated in the first-floor boss strategy team together, and even formed team members, and finally added friends...

If she hadn't bought Fenglingyueying's cheat, Asuna felt that she might have agreed to the other party's invitation and joined the guild created by the other party.

Has the enemy been by my side all this time?

What a sarcasm...

It's no wonder that this man has never shown any fear of death since the first time we met!

Because he knows he will not die.

After being shocked and confused, Asuna gradually figured everything out.

At this moment, the silver-haired uncle who was still wearing red armor had also appeared in front of their eyes.

"Heathcliff, you are Akihiko Kayaba!?"

In just a split second, Asuna pulled out the long sword from her waist, and the dark elf lady who had been watching Asuna also pulled out her own saber.

Although she didn't understand why Asuna had such a strange reaction, the only conclusion she could draw from Asuna was that the man in red armor in front of her was definitely an enemy.

"NPC?"

Kayaba Akihiko glanced at the dark elf lady in front of him in surprise, and then at the young girl held by that weird boy.

"And the AI ​​responsible for maintaining...?"

"They are Miss Kizmel and Miss Yui, Mr. Kayaba, I think it is better to call them by their first names now."

Compared with the current tense scene, Tatsumi is the one with the calmest expression here.

"You...you gave Miss Asuna the 'Wind Spirit Moon Shadow' cheat?"

After thinking for a while, Kayaba Akihiko guessed Tatsumi's identity.

"Yes."

Tatsumi nodded.

"With this ability, you didn't choose to crack my game? Just to make a cheat for her?"

Kayaba Akihiko was waiting here today to ask this question clearly.

"Why should I hack your game?"

Tatsumi felt that the uncle in front of him might have thought something wrong.

"Why... aren't you here to rescue these players trapped by me?"

Kayaba Akihiko did not expect that this question could be asked back by the other party.

"No, the only one who wants to save others is this Miss Asuna next to me."

"then you……"

"I will appear here, just want to ask you, what is the origin of Yui and Miss Mel? Did you create them?"

Tatsumi touched the top of the AI ​​girl's head, then looked straight into Kayaba Akihiko's eyes.

"Origin? That child..."

Kayaba Akihiko still has some impressions of Yui's image.

"That child is an AI made by Rinko. The purpose is to monitor the psychological state of players, and then visit players with psychological problems, listen to their voices, and then give a report..."

When Kayaba Akihiko said these words, his expression seemed a little nostalgic.

"Rinko?"

The girl was a little confused by the name.

"It's the person who developed this game with me, who used to be... my lover."

Rinko Kodai used to be her best assistant and his former lover.

"Then why did she lose her memory?"

Asuna didn't put down the rapier in her hand, but she didn't choose to strike immediately either.

Yui's matter and Kizmel's matter must be clarified first.

"And... how could the AI ​​lose its memory?"

The girl still insisted not to believe that AI can also lose memory.

"Amnesia? No... In order to let the existing players feel absolute freedom, I gave her the absolute order of 'do not interfere with players', but as more and more players have problems, this 'do not interfere' ''s command gradually conflicts with the main command she was set up, that's why there is such a situation where the AI's stored information fails to be read due to the confusion of the commands."

Kayaba Akihiko quickly found out all the mistakes that had happened to this AI girl.

"Failed to read stored information..."

What a cold explanation.

"Speaking of which, her appearance is still Rinko's own idea, and the appearance simulated by software is most in line with her expectations for her daughter..."

Kayaba Akihiko did not expect that this AI, which only listens to the player's feelings, would become what it is now.

"She acquired human-like emotions."

"It's just an emotional simulation, it's not real, just like the NPC over there...Miss Kizmel, when developing this game, Rinko and I had the same idea, in order to pursue the most realistic For the best player experience, we do not hesitate to let the AI ​​account in the game simulate human emotions to the greatest extent possible.”

Kayaba Akihiko is quite satisfied and proud of what he has done.

"It's not a simulation, they have already surpassed the scope of normal AI, haven't you discovered it yet?"

Tatsumi just stretched out his hand to Yui's side, and the little girl subconsciously hugged her arm.

And Kizmel's move to follow Asuna and pull out his weapon without hesitation... This is not a reaction that ordinary artificial intelligence can make.

"..."

Kayaba Akihiko fell into silence.

"You mean they already have life?"

He who has been observing humans has never thought about the reactions of these AIs.

"Is not it?"

Tatsumi stroked the black hair on Yui's head.

The girl whose head was touched showed a very satisfied smile.

"This is really... something I never thought about. Who are you?"

Fearless and the girl's rapier, Kayaba Akihiko showed a very interested expression on the boy in front of him.

"Me? I should be considered the child's father now."

"..."

Kayaba Akihiko looked at the mysterious boy holding the AI ​​girl in his arms again, and he felt a little green.

The image of that AI is the image of his daughter imagined by his ex-girlfriend...

Now actually call another man father?

"Why...you have to imprison us all in this game?"

Asuna's eyes were firm and cold. After seeing the real murderer behind the scenes of this game, the anger and desire for revenge in her heart began to burn again.

"Because only in this way can we see the most real players... This is worthy of this real game world."

Kayaba Akihiko raised his left hand.

"Don't you think so? Miss Asuna, the savior?"

"Don't call me that, you criminal who killed thousands!"

Being called the savior by the murderer behind the scenes is simply ironic to the extreme.

The tip of Asuna's sword was already gathering flashes of skill.

Chapter 166 Chapter 160 Chapter [-] Fragile and Strong [Fourth Update]

"This is my dream all along... Everyone has had similar fantasies since childhood, right? A castle floating in the sky, a world of swords and magic... And I just want to realize it."

Kayaba Akihiko looked at the girl in front of him with a warm and compassionate but superior expression.

It's like watching a guinea pig undergoing experiments in a delicate cage.

"It's so ridiculous, killing someone just by using the excuse of 'for a dream' can avoid all moral condemnation?"

Tatsumi's laughter quickly made Kayaba Akihiko's superior expression disappear.

"Also worthy of being real, you, as the initiator, pretend to be a passer-by player with an undead GM account, allowing other players to experience the fear of death, while you leisurely treat yourself as a god in the game. Is it the truth you are after?"

"No... I have the responsibility to operate this game until it clears the level. I use the GM account only to ensure that the game can continue."

Kayaba Akihiko quickly defended himself.

"Want to let others die to fulfill your dreams, but you shrink back, find a lot of excuses to get yourself off the hook, and finally use the excuse of 'for your dreams' to clear yourself up, and then suffer You don’t even dare to be judged by the law, you choose to commit suicide to escape, but you still want to save your consciousness in the network and computer... What dreams are you talking about, you are just a murderer who is afraid of death and addicted to fantasy.”

"You... how do you know about my suicide plan?"

Kayaba Akihiko was quite angry at first, but when he heard the latter, he only felt fear.

The mysterious teenager even knew about his decision to commit suicide and then try to preserve his consciousness in cyberspace.

"Don't you refute?"

Tatsumi thought that the AI ​​was also created by the other party, but it turned out not to be.

AI... Kizmel and Yui's mutation has nothing to do with Akihiko Kayaba.

Tatsumi suddenly became dull.

"Don't try to make us think that you, a pleasure criminal who kills indiscriminately, are just a good old man who sticks to his dream?"

"I have never defended myself that I am a good person..."

Kayaba Akihiko was both ashamed and annoyed because he hit his mind.

"Aren't you the same, gave the player a cheat, and almost destroyed the world I created... You are also a destroyer."

"Oh, it's a classic change of subject, but isn't cheating a way to play this kind of stand-alone game?"

At least Asuna felt that it was quite enjoyable to play.
