Story Destroyer Journey

Chapter 149 The Beginning of the Death Game

Glancing at his empty hands, Wei Jun looked up at Estes: "A draw?"

Estes nodded indifferently, and then wiped off the non-existent dust on his hands: "If it's a draw, it's a draw. Let's compete next time."

"Row."

Wei Jun looked up at the sky, the setting sun that had already set, and the sky that was dyed red by the sunset glow all indicated that it was getting late at this moment.

Calling up the virtual screen to check the time, it was [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and there were still more than ten minutes before Akihiko Kayaba announced the game of death.

"It's about to start, sit down and wait." Wei Jun sat down on the grass, patted the seat beside him, and motioned for Esdesh to come and sit here.

Estes, who was on the side, came over and sat down beside Wei Jun generously.

The two of them just sat quietly, looking at the sunset in the distance, and the flying dragons returning to their nests in the sky.

Although Wei Jun and Estes saw the same beautiful scenery, their minds were quite different.

"It's a beautiful sunset, isn't it?"

"Sunset, isn't it beautiful? I'm interested in those flying dragons. I remember that there are many dragons in this game world. Jun, let's catch two mounts when we have time."

"."

Wei Jun felt that his wife's way of thinking was somewhat out of line with him.

Esdeth's hobbies are nothing more than torturing enemies, abusing prisoners, plus war and fighting.

The first two things have changed because of Wei Jun's relationship.As for the latter, not to mention letting Estes restrain himself, even Wei Jun has already been dragged into the water by her.

"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~"

More than ten minutes passed in a flash, and a series of long bells came from a distance.

The moment the bell rang, the figures of Wei Jun and Estes disappeared directly on the spot.

"嗖~" "嗖~" "嗖~"

A streak of white light flickered on the square where it was born before.After the light dissipated, figures of players appeared inside.

Those few bells were naturally Akihiko Kayaba using the authority of the administrator to forcefully teleport the players to this square.

Wei Jun and Estes were no exception, both of them appeared in this crowded square.

Just when the players and the people around them were guessing why they were teleported here.

The sky above the square suddenly turned blood red, like plasma-like red liquid, flowing above the sky.

Then the red liquid slowly gathered together again, condensing into a huge human-shaped projection in a red blood robe.

In the projection in front of him, his body was tightly wrapped in a red robe, and his face was also covered by shadows.

From the appearance alone, this giant projection can be used as a cosplay god of death as long as it carries a scythe.

Just as people were guessing about the other party's identity and purpose, the projection in front of him suddenly spoke: "Welcome players, come to my world.

I'm Akihiko Kayaba.

He is the only human being who can control the world. "

"Boom~"

Hearing Kayaba Akihiko's self-introduction, the players in the entire plaza suddenly became excited.

"Is it me?"

"Really, I was so lucky to meet him here."

"."

This huge projection is none other than Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of SwordArtOnline.His appearance will also herald the beginning of the death game.

"My world? I didn't expect that Kayaba Akihiko was a late-stage patient of the Second Second Disease." Wei Jun laughed and complained when he heard Kayaba Akihiko's self-introduction.

Estes pursed his lips and ignored Wei Jun.

Kayaba Akihiko looked at the noisy players in the square, paused, and continued to speak: "I believe at this time, all players have also discovered that the logout button of the main menu in the game is missing."

As soon as Akihiko Kayaba opened his mouth, the plaza, which was still chaotic, quickly quieted down.The players present are still very concerned about the disappearance of the logout button.

Just when everyone thought that Kayaba Akihiko was going to apologize to the players and told them that the disappearance of the logout button in the game was a bug that accidentally appeared in the game.

Another thing they didn't expect happened.

"However, it's not that the game is faulty.

Repeat!
This is not a problem with the game, but the real gameplay of SwordArtOnline."

At this moment, Akihiko Kayaba finally announced to nearly ten thousand players in the plaza that the game of death had begun.

Of course, at the beginning, the players naturally wouldn't believe Kayaba Akihiko's words.

Until Akihiko Kayaba projected the news that not long ago, because the family members did not listen to the warning, they unplugged the player's game power, resulting in the death of the player.

Seeing this, the players finally had an ominous premonition, more than 200 lives, no matter which country this happened in, it was a big deal.

But Akihiko Kayaba didn't care, the other party's indifferent tone seemed to have nothing to do with him.

This made the players feel terrified. Facing the threat of death, the players rallied to attack, accusing and insulting Kayaba Akihiko loudly, why did they do this.

However, Kayaba Akihiko turned a deaf ear to the players' accusations.He just explained to the players the rules of the game and the conditions for clearing the level.

The rules of the death game, in simple terms, are to cancel the player's resurrection regulations.When the player's HP clears to zero, it will truly die.

If the player wants to survive, he must kill a hundred floors, defeat the final boss, and clear the game.

This is also why the anime Sword Art Online will be complained that if it is a man, it will go up a hundred floors.

After announcing the rules of the game, Kayaba Akihiko said again: "Finally, there are gifts from me in your storage slots, please confirm."

Hearing Kayaba Akihiko's words, most players, no matter out of curiosity or luck, called up the storage bar and clicked on the items inside.

Of course, there are still a small number of vigilant players who did not follow Kayaba Akihiko's words.

Perhaps Akihiko Kayaba has also considered this point, no matter whether the players take out the mirror or not, the players will be forced to restore their real appearance.

In this regard, Wei Jun and Estes are naturally exceptions.Because the two of them didn't use the game equipment provided by the game developer at all.

But since he plans to record a movie, Wei Jun can still use the appearance of the game character to record it.

Pieces of light flashed across the square, and the players returned from their virtual game characters to their real ones.

"Hey, how could it be?"

"This is?"

"You are a boy!"

"You're not 17 either!"

"why."

After everyone returned to their true size and appearance, they were even more sure that Kayaba Akihiko wanted to kill them.

The whole square became a chaotic scene again.

Looking at the players on the square who were about to collapse, Akihiko Kayaba briefly explained his purpose to the players, and then announced the end of the game running tutorial.

Akihiko Kayaba disappeared, but the nightmare of all players has just begun. In everyone's mind, Akihiko Kayaba's previous words echoed.

In the square with nearly [-] players, there was silence.

"Ah~"

I don't know who it was, who couldn't accept the stimulation first, and let out a desperate scream, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the square.

"Boom~"

Like a chain reaction, the players in the entire square finally exploded with this scream.

The players who came back to their senses cried loudly and rushed out of the square.

All of a sudden, a hodgepodge of human ugliness was staged in the entire square.

Most of the players followed the crowd, followed the crying crowd, and ran out of the square.During this period, many weak players were pushed to the ground by the people behind them.

Fortunately, this is a town, and players cannot harm each other except for a duel with flags.Otherwise, God knows how many players will die.

Some young players who couldn't stand the stimulation sat there crying bitterly, crying to find their mother.

Some players seem to be stimulated to the head, frantically looking for someone to beat up.

Among them, there was no lack of some calmer players, sneaking towards the outside of the town.Most of these players are internal beta players.

Looking at the chaotic square, Wei Jun knew that it was time for him to act: "Zero, amplify my voice ten times. No, just triple it."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After getting the answer from Zero, Wei Jun took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Calm down, everyone, calm down!"

Wei Jun's voice was loud enough for everyone on the field to hear it.It's a pity that the cries of the players instantly covered up his voice.

Even the players near Wei Jun didn't care to pay attention to him after hearing what he said.

Seeing this, Wei Jun was not disappointed, but continued to shout loudly: "Could it be that fear has made you lose your mind, are you going to run out like this to die?
Stop for me, listen to me, I have a way to keep everyone alive. "

Sure enough, when Wei Jun said that there was a way to keep everyone alive, all the players in the square stopped running and turned to look at Wei Jun.

For a moment, thousands of hopeful gazes were all on him.In contrast, Wei Jun did not feel any discomfort.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Jun continued to say loudly: "Look at what ghosts you all look like.

I'm sure Akihiko Kayaba is hiding in the dark right now, watching your jokes and waiting for you to make mistakes.

The final result will only be that you lose your own life. "

"I don't want to listen to this. Didn't you say you could save us? Send me back quickly, please, send me back, I want to go home."

Beside Wei Jun, a fat boy in his teens hugged Wei Jun's arm, crying with tears and snot streaming down his nose.

"Yes, if you teach us a lesson, you can talk about it later. If there is any way to save us, please tell us quickly!"

"I beg you!"

"."

All of a sudden, the players on the square begged Wei Jun one after another.

"Didn't Kayaba Akihiko tell you how to be rescued, just clear the game."

Wei Jun's voice was not loud, but all the players in the square heard it clearly.

"."

After hearing Wei Jun's words, the players on the square fell into a desperate silence.Then, the desperate players broke out and rebounded more violently than before.

"Damn it, you're playing us!"

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

The player next to Wei Jun directly pulled out the weapon at his waist, and slashed at it without saying a word.

Wei Jun didn't explain anything, he sneered and dodged the opponent's attack, and at the same time punched him backhand.

After knocking down a player, what awaited Wei Jun were more players joining the crusade.

Wei Jun also never refused to come, and all the male players who got close to him were knocked down by his punch.

Estes also supported Wei Jun on the sidelines, and all the female players near Wei Jun were dealt with by her.

More than ten minutes passed, and there were already more than 100 players who fell under the fists of Wei Jun and Esdesi.

After seeing the terrifying fighting power of Wei Jun and Estes, finally no one dared to take a step forward.

After all, 90.00% of these players are ordinary people, and they are not brave or fearless.

Fortunately, this square belongs to the town, and those players who were defeated by Wei Jun and Estes are fine.

The reason why they lay half dead on the ground was not because of any severe injuries to their bodies, but because their hearts were already dead.

Wei Jun had given them a ray of hope before, but now he gave them despair. This was undoubtedly a severe gash in their hearts.

"Have you finished venting? If you have finished venting, just listen to me." That's right, Wei Jun used violence to vent their negative emotions in the fight just now.

Wei Jun knew that when the players were in that state, no matter how gaudy he said, the other party would not listen.

Looking around, all the players with sad expressions and numb eyes, Wei Jun said lightly: "Whether you accept it or not, the fact is already in front of you, that is, we are all trapped in this game and cannot get out. went."

When Wei Jun said this, the eyes of the surrounding players became even darker.

Wei Jun ignored them, and continued to speak: "You guys had better not expect help from the outside world, because the outside world can't help us at all.

Kayaba Akihiko is not a fool, since he dared to announce to the outside world that this is a death game, he dared to take [-] lives from all over the world as a bargaining chip in this game.

That can only show that he has full confidence and guarantees that the outside world will not be able to crack his game. "

When Wei Jun said this, some players who couldn't bear the stimulation already hugged their heads and howled and cried bitterly in despair.

Wei Jun folded his hands and looked at the players around him coldly: "The way of external rescue is no longer feasible. If we want to get out of this damn game, we can only rely on our own strength to clear the game. "

"Impossible, it is simply impossible to pass this game. During the beta test, everyone tried their best, but they just got through the lowest levels." A beta tester covered his face in pain soundtrack.

"How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried it? Are you willing to stay in this broken game for the rest of your life?" Wei Jun glanced at the player and asked.

"Who wants to stay in this damn game, I want to go home! I want to go home. Woooooooooo~"

Wei Jun stepped forward, patted the player on the shoulder, and said: "You want to go home, everyone wants to go home, no one wants to stay in this game forever.

It is precisely because of this that everyone needs to work together to pass the game.Needless to say the dangers involved, the strength of one person is far from enough, we need to unite. "

"Unity?" The player wiped away the tears on his face and looked up at Wei Jun suspiciously.

"If you don't unite, you think that whoever can rely on themselves will not be able to pass the game.

You can't do it, and I can't do it either. This is only possible if we all work together.

If everyone is still fleeing alone as before, taking care of their own.

I'm sure that within a month, at least one-third of the people present will die in this game. "

After hearing Wei Jun's words, some of the players present bowed their heads in shame, while others were deep in thought.There are still many players who are still sweating because of their crazy behavior before.

Seeing this, Wei Jun nodded: "Understood? Have you figured it out? It's best if you can figure it out, let me say one more thing by the way.

I know that among the players present, many of them are beta testers. "

As soon as the three beta testers come out, there will be a frying pan in the square again.

If this game is just an ordinary game instead of a death game, everyone will only be a little envious of the beta testers.

It is different now, SAO has changed from an ordinary game to a death game, and the beta testers know too much information that ordinary players do not know.

As a result, this envy may turn into jealousy, or even resentment.

Seeing the gradually weird atmosphere in the square, Wei Jun said again: "Everyone doesn't need to be suspicious and hostile to each other. If possible, let's listen to my opinion first."

Wei Jun spoke, and everyone's eyes focused on him again.

Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, Wei Jun said with a serious expression: "I hope that the beta testers present can stand up and help these newcomers who have just entered the game.

Maybe this decision will make everyone feel very embarrassed, but I still hope that everyone can stand up bravely.

Because newcomers need your help.Maybe during the beta test period, everyone has some advantages, but that is only temporary.

Instead of concealing it with guilt, I hope that everyone can take the initiative to stand up and help the newcomers present.

Only in this way can the newcomers present hope to survive, and our chances of clearing the game will be greater because of this.

Of course, this is just a suggestion I give to everyone, I hope everyone will think about it.This is not only for the new ones, but also for yourselves. "

After finishing speaking, Wei Jun closed his eyes directly, folded his hands, and stood silently aside.

The scene fell into silence again because of Wei Jun's words.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, and one minute passed. The players present looked left and right one by one, or bowed their heads in silence.

However, none of the beta testers were willing to stand up.

Regarding this, Wei Jun was not in a hurry, and was still waiting quietly.

After 3 minutes, there were whispers in the silent square, and the players around were discussing something in a low voice.

However, there is still no beta tester willing to stand up.

After 5 minutes passed, Wei Jun opened his eyes, turned his head without hesitation, and walked out of the town: "Honey, let's go."

"Oh, don't you wait?" Estes glanced with a sneer, and the players around quickly followed behind Wei Jun.

"No need, maybe my words are not strong enough to convince them, or maybe I'm thinking too simply.

This is the nature of human beings, and there are some things that we cannot force.

Let's go, I've already done what I should do, it's just that they don't live up to their expectations. "
