Shirou's clones number 30 million

"How did it suddenly disappear?"

Hinamori Momo picked up her Zanpakuto, then put it down again, staring into the distance in surprise.

After an unknown amount of time, the aura of the Great Void disappeared, but the snow continued to fall.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Well...maybe all those hidden Hollows have been sent away."

"This... I have absolutely no idea what happened. How am I supposed to write the report?"

"Don't worry, I'll write this report myself."

"Why...?"

Why is Captain Aizen acting like he knew it was going to snow? Did he cause this?

That's impossible, his Zanpakuto isn't ice or snow type.

"Then... I'll have to trouble Captain Aizen."

"You're welcome. This is my job. Rather, you've been working hard all this time, Hinamori."

"Captain Aizen... Waaah..."

You're so easily moved to tears!

Why did you suddenly start crying?

"Snowflakes got into my eyes."

Chapter 281, Section 282: Professional Boosting, Honest and Fair Service

"Gentlemen, what should I do now?"

Nighttime, within a space shrouded in white mist.

Upon hearing Narusaka Shirou's voice, all the Shirous stepped forward to shake his hand, and then fell into deep thought.

"Indeed, that is a problem."

Narusaka Shirou, Kiritani Kazuto's second uncle, entered this place the instant the Eternal Human Project was implemented, merged with his other selves, and regained his youth.

The plan had already been implemented, and no consideration had been given to the aftermath before that.

So, I came up with a temporary remedial plan.

Assemble a raiding squad and send Kirito and his team to raid Aincrad, obtain the information from Kayaba Akihiko, and then figure out a way to develop a device to escape the virtual world.

In reality, Kayaba Akihiko has all the information he has; the strategy group is just a front used to distance himself from the Human Eternal Project.

On the surface, they were always cheering on Kirito and his companions, constantly promoting their progress in the strategy and their heroic deeds.

Meanwhile, he was secretly researching an escape device.

According to the original plan, it would take at least two years to successfully escape the device, which coincides with the progress of Kirito and his team's strategy.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

After sharing many of Liu Xiu's abilities, mainly the "destiny is in my hands" ability, flashes of inspiration occurred frequently.

The research and development progressed at a rocket-like pace, leaping forward in leaps and bounds. In just a short period of time, the escape device was successfully developed.

And today, it has been less than a month since the button for the eternal plan was pressed.

"The strategy team has only reached level 7 so far, and level 100 is still a long way off. I can't just keep waiting, can I?"

"If we don't wait any longer and just produce the data on the escape device, people will definitely think that I am Chisuke Narusaka. After all, nobody is a fool."

At this moment, Adris Shirou suddenly laughed:

"So, you need a game expert who can quickly beat the game, right?"

"Hmm...that's about it." Shirou Narusaka sighed softly. "Unfortunately, as a researcher, I have no interest in leveling up by fighting monsters."

Even virtual games with 100% realism aren't interesting to everyone.

However, some things are really hard to stick with if you're not interested in them.

He might be willing to attempt one or two floors on a whim, but he simply didn't have the inclination to fight his way up to a hundred floors.

“Then let me go!” Adris Shirou said excitedly.

"You...? How are you going to get across from this world?" Shirou Narusaka asked, looking surprised.

Adris shifted his gaze to Liu Xiu and said without hesitation:

"Hasn't Liu Xiu already developed an anti-summoning array? I'm willing to be a test subject!"

"That's called a descent array, but it's only a half-finished product," Liu Xiu reminded him. "We haven't tested whether it works yet."

"So, I volunteered to be the first guinea pig."

"You know the consequences, right? If you fail, you might die."

"I know, but I still want to go."

Adris nodded slightly, his expression extremely firm.

He had naturally considered the consequences. If the untested descent array accidentally teleported him into the interior of a star, he would die instantly.

Even the ability to freeze time might not work under the high temperatures inside a star.

"Is it really necessary?" Shirou Narusaka couldn't help but ask. "You're about to get married, why would you take such a big risk?"

"Haha... We're not married yet, are we? Although the risks are high, they're nothing compared to the rewards. I've been busy helping Esdeath usurp the throne and mediating the conflict between her and Chelsea lately. I haven't had a chance to stretch my muscles in ages."

One hundred floors, no, there are ninety-three more. Defeating them one by one will definitely bring immense satisfaction.

"Furthermore, with the Mandate of Heaven in place, the low-probability event of teleporting into the interior of a star is absolutely impossible to succeed."

"If the place I descend to is not the Sword Art Online world, but another other world, I can easily travel around and return with a single thought."

"Therefore, the risk is almost zero, not as great as you think."

“Hmm…” Narusaka Shirou fell silent.

Indeed, from this perspective, the chances of success are very high. As long as I give permission, he will immediately run over to fight monsters for me.

But should we really agree?

Thinking this, his gaze unconsciously shifted to Liu Xiu.

"And you, Xiuer, when are you leaving Valhalla?"

"Don't call me Xiuer. I'd like to finish reading the books here before I leave. After all, once I leave Valhalla, I might not have the free time to read one book after another."

"Then you'll be watching until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"

Narusaka Shirou chuckled softly, looked at Adris Shirou again, and sighed:

"How many days do you plan to spend conquering Aincrad?"

Two days.

"I'll give you three days, is that okay?"

"That's too much, two days will be enough."

A slight smile played on Adris Shirou's lips; he was in a rather good mood.

Although through other people's memories, one can witness different worlds and experience different things.

However, due to personality differences, he found it difficult to agree with the indecisive ways of others.

For example, if it were me, I would have quickly and decisively resolved the matter concerning Shirou Narusaka, instead of going through all that trouble.

Take former investigator Shirou, for example. If it were him, he would absolutely go out and kill all the ghouls and related researchers without hesitation, leaving no one alive. Why bother with something as troublesome as rain?

However, since only one Shirou can exist in each world, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only keep it to himself.

And now, he has finally gotten a chance to take the lead himself.

This is good; it can also relieve the frustration of not being able to fight anyone these past few days.

"I know that not everyone likes to fight, so neither do you."

"If this experiment is successful, in the future, whenever you need someone to help you, just give me a call. Professional help, honest and fair, absolutely no fees."

Narusaka Shirou looked at him speechlessly. "I must be crazy to agree to such an outrageous request and voluntarily be locked in a dark room for two days."

"Then... thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work! I'm a professional at fighting. Whether it's killing, beating someone, or breaking up a fight, I'll be the first to rush over wherever there's a conflict."

"Well... thank you."

"No, I should be thanking you for giving me this opportunity to stretch my muscles."

Although their strength is exactly the same, their personalities are different; some people just don't like fighting and killing.

Shirou Narusaka is that type of person. Decades of scientific research have robbed him of that passion.

Upon seeing this, Kitahara Shirou smiled and said:

"I still have to fight the fights myself, but if there are a lot of fights, to the point of being annoying, then I'll ask you for help."

"Yeah, just call out when the time comes. I love fighting the most."

Adris Shirou's face was full of smiles. He enjoyed both battles with worthy opponents and bullying the weak like crushing ants.

Unlike his other self who disliked trouble, he loved trouble the most. If necessary, he might actually squat down and crush the ants one by one.

They never stop, never let anyone go unpunished, and they enjoy it immensely.

"I'm off, see you later."

Edris Shirou took a few steps back, standing beside all the Shirous. He chanted a spell, and after the aura of the magic circle appeared beneath his feet, he waved to Narusaka Shirou and vanished instantly.
