In this way, what Kayaba Akihiko had to do was to constantly refute Mo Mo, making all of Mo Mo's explanations unbelievable, and then throw mud at Mo Mo, taking advantage of Mo Mo's inability to explain himself, so that Mo Mo's image in everyone's mind would completely collapse!

In this way, Kayaba Akihiko can completely eliminate Momo's influence, get the game back on track, and let Momo quietly wait for the day of liberation in the Starting Street.

But Mo Mo actually confessed!

This is not the result he wanted!

In an instant, everything went completely out of the ordinary!

An extremely dangerous feeling surged through Heathcliff's mind, but what could he do now?

Should he go and stop Momo from revealing the so-called "truth"?

"I, Mo Mo, have committed heinous crimes by participating in this experiment. You want the truth? I can tell you the truth, a horrific truth, a despairing truth. Do you really want to hear it?"

"Mo Mo! What are you doing? Why are you admitting it? That's not how it is!"

Heathcliff did not interrupt Argo, but Argo shouted and interrupted Momo. Despite the distance, Argo's voice drowned out Momo's.

This was Argo's cry, tears blurring her vision, her desperate struggle drawing everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at the excited Argo in surprise.

"And Asuna! What exactly are you trying to do? Did you collude with Ya-o and the others to frame Momo? You know the truth, but you won't tell everyone. What are you after?!"

"Why, why is this happening? What's going on?! Momo, Asuna, what are you doing?!"

Asuna felt a sharp pain in her heart; seeing her friend's suffering was almost unbearable for her.

"Argo".

At this moment, it was Momo who spoke up to stop Argo, calming him down a bit.

A smile appeared on Mo Mo's lips. Despite the distance between them, their gazes seemed to transcend everything and intertwine.

That familiar smile, that familiar feeling, was awakened once again in Argo's heart, bringing a touch of warmth to his cold and broken heart.

"The guilty must be punished. The innocent should not be imprisoned. Dangerous people should naturally be treated severely."

"Isn't this just common sense?"

“I am a dangerous person, and I will endanger the people around me as well, so it is better for me to leave. That way, at least many people will be safe.”

Argo was speechless. Momo's words were like a riddle, but she vaguely understood some of their meaning.

Momo was undoubtedly framed; she knew it, Asuna knew it, and Momo herself knew it even more.

However, Momo still chose to plead guilty.

why!

Argo instantly recalled their experience of being surrounded by the Smiling Coffin. Yes, it wasn't hard to explain—it was dangerous!

Some people see Mo Mo as a thorn in their side. In order to eliminate Mo Mo, they are even willing to mobilize the red-named players of Smiling Coffin, and even go to any lengths to drag her and Asuna into danger.

This danger is the danger of being forced to withdraw.

Momo could not accept this kind of danger.

Therefore, Momo confessed to his crime, allowing himself to be brought under Kayaba Akihiko's control, and keeping himself away from the people he cared about, away from Asuna... away from himself.

So that's how it is...

Knowing the reason, Argo felt much clearer. She looked at Asuna and said, "Just because of this, just because of this you let Momo confess and bear what he shouldn't have to bear?"

Asuna frowned and said, "Argo, calm down. Only Momo can do all this. We have to trust Momo and believe that he will succeed."

"Heh? Believe... Haha, interesting... Asuna... I didn't expect you to be this kind of person... Believe... Or rather, it's understandable that you're afraid of death, isn't it?"

Asuna stared at Argo in astonishment, wondering why he had suddenly said those words. She was stunned by the look in Argo's eyes, a look she had never seen before.

It was a completely indifferent gaze, so indifferent that it was almost inhuman. Asuna seemed to have seen this kind of gaze before; it was the gaze of a thin, stray mother cat on the street protecting her hungry kittens.

Hostility, vigilance... and even resentment!

"Argo...Argo, what's wrong with you...?"

Asuna involuntarily took a step back, a move that earned her only a cold sneer from Argo.

"Well... this is what a sheltered young lady is like. So-called elites aren't entirely outstanding or omnipotent after all!"

"Argo!"

Yuriel shouted coldly, "What exactly do you mean! Why are you targeting the president? Now is the time to wait for Momo to explain. Once Momo provides an explanation, everything will be over!"

"The president is Mo Mo's wife. Does she care less about Mo Mo than you do? Everything is about to end. Shut up and wait calmly."

Argo's sneer grew stronger as he muttered to himself, "My wife...she's quite something..."

What a pity, Asuna, I don't acknowledge you.

absolute!

Argo seemed to have made up his mind. He smiled and looked up at Momo, who remained unmoved as everyone's gazes gradually turned hostile and hateful. The coldness in Momo's eyes melted away.

The coldness turned into gentleness.

Momo, I will support you, no matter what your situation is, no matter what choices you make...

This is the real me, Argo...

"Mo Mo-kun, please be careful with your words. This is your best chance to defend yourself. No one really wants to condemn you. Perhaps this is Kayaba Akihiko's scheme, deliberately meeting with you to drive a wedge between you and everyone else."

Heathcliff took a step forward, his unease growing stronger. He felt he absolutely could not carry out his plan, even if he defended Momo now and gave him a chance, he absolutely could not proceed according to the original plan.

Heathcliff's words startled the King of Fangs, but slightly eased the hostility in the eyes of everyone present.

Yes, Momo's words are indeed very important. With him, it seems that players are full of hope in conquering the entire SAO. If Kayaba Akihiko wants to sow discord between the players and Momo because he is wary of him, it seems to make sense.

"Huh, you changed your mind?"

Momo stared with amusement at Heathcliff's battered face, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. "Too bad," he said, "I didn't change my mind. I confess, I'm guilty of heinous crimes!"

“Now that I have confessed, I have decided to immediately confess and seek leniency. I will tell everyone everything.”

"The whole 'truth'!"

091 The "Truth" You Want

"The truth, Momo, what are you trying to do?"

Reimu Hakurei blinked curiously. At the moment, she seemed to be the only one who was relaxed and at ease. Fortunately, she was also aware of the atmosphere, otherwise she would have completely ruined it.

"Well..."

Mo Mo's eyes gleamed with an unnamed light as he said, "Kayaba Akihiko has really given me a great gift. Now that he has given me this gift, this key to everything, how can I not cherish it?"

"Otherwise, if Kayaba Akihiko has planned and schemed for so long, and I still can't give him a surprise that satisfies him, wouldn't all of Kayaba Akihiko's efforts be in vain?"

"As a reward for his hard work, I will make good use of everything he set up for me, and let him know that all his efforts have been effective!"

"The effect is fantastic!"

Looking at the smile on Mo Mo's lips, Reimu Hakurei suddenly felt sorry for Akihiko Kayaba. Perhaps Akihiko Kayaba had imagined countless possible outcomes, but he never expected things to turn out this way.

"Well, I think I understand now. Are you really determined to do this?"

"Oh, what am I supposed to do?"

Reimu Hakurei put her hands on her hips and said, "Kayaba Akihiko planned everything. In the end, he used your inability to defend yourself to leave you speechless and frame you as Kayaba Akihiko's accomplice, or even the mastermind, participant, or manager of the game."

"He succeeded, he really did it. Momo, you can't defend yourself. Whatever he says, you are him. As a result, you've become a dangerous person. Even if you're not attacked by the players, you'll be imprisoned."

"But..."

Reimu Hakurei laughed and said, "Rules are universal!"

"You cannot explain yourself, you cannot reveal the truth. Kayaba Akihiko jumped out as a player, and now that he has transformed into Heathcliff, he is equally unable to tell the players the truth."

“Kayaba Akihiko can fabricate charges against you at will, but Momo, who is incapable of telling the truth, can also fabricate the truth at will.”

"Because no one can correct you; on the contrary, since everyone treats you as a participant in the game, whatever you say is taken as gospel."

Reimu Hakurei shook her head regretfully and said, "In order to defeat you, Akihiko Kayaba even handed over the power of the GM to you. Now, Momo, you also have more right to interpret the game... Even if it can't explain the real facts, Momo, you definitely won't let this opportunity pass, right?"

"Considering the people you met before and the things you discussed with PoH, everything seems quite obvious!"

Mo Mo grinned and said, "So, little Lingmeng, are you still interested in watching?"

"Of course! I want to hear how you're going to spout this nonsense and make Kayaba Akihiko so angry he's practically fuming. Hmph, you little rascal who thinks he's so clever, he's nothing but trash in front of you, you old bastard."

"Thank you for the compliment, Reimu. Well then, how about I present you with a story of despair?"

"Okay, I'm listening!"

……

"Mo Mo, don't talk nonsense!"

Heathcliff took a step forward, really wanting to stop Momo, but he couldn't really do anything. Momo smiled and shook his finger, saying, "Alright, don't worry, Heathcliff, and Kirito and Ya-oh too."

“Now, I confess. As someone who has confessed, I deeply feel my guilt and think it’s time to tell everyone the whole truth. Otherwise, my conscience will not be at peace.”

"Heathcliff, could you give me a moment alone to tell everyone the truth? Everyone deserves to know, because we are all victims!"

Heathcliff's face turned pale as he looked at Momo, whose expression grew increasingly serious and whose tone increasingly low. Even he felt a sense of heaviness, like a criminal's monologue, let alone the players who were eager to know the truth.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on Mo Mo. The power that was supposed to be used by him to deal with Mo Mo had suddenly become the power that was being used to target Mo Mo, and might even be in Mo Mo's hands. What exactly happened?

How exactly did the transformation happen?

Heathcliff's mind was in complete turmoil. He desperately wanted to stop Momo, otherwise, he had a premonition...

Everything is truly over...

"Heathcliff, what are you doing! Didn't Momojun promise to tell the truth? Isn't that what we asked for? Why are you stopping Momojun from speaking now?"

At this moment, Fang Wang spoke up to stop Heathcliff. His eyes darted around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
