They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Alice looked puzzled.

“Actually, Kirito isn’t from this world. The world you’re in is also a fake world to Kirito,” Ling Yu said.

Alice's delicate little face was filled with confusion.

I wonder if there's something wrong with her hearing system, but she just can't understand what Ling Yu is saying.

Ling Yu didn't say much, but lightly tapped Alice's forehead with one finger.

In an instant, all the information about Kiritani Kazuto appeared in Alice's mind.

This includes his previous experience of being trapped in the virtual world of Aincrad by Kayaba Akihiko, and his invitation to participate in the UW experiment.

Chapter 153

After absorbing the information, Alice opened her eyes, her blue eyes filled with complex emotions.

She never imagined that in Ling Yu's mind, she was not only a fake.

But she never expected that even Kirito, whom she had considered her best friend since childhood, saw her as a fake.

This discovery left Alice momentarily bewildered.

Does artificial light manipulation mean that they are merely copies of others?

The world is not yours, and even the self is not yours.

This discovery made Alice somewhat uneasy.

I feel like the world is full of malice.

Just then, a pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders, and another hand slipped under her thighs, lifting her up in a princess carry.

Suddenly finding herself in a warm embrace released Alice's increasingly deep thoughts.

She looked up, staring blankly at the man holding her.

“Brother Lingyu…”

"Your name is Alice Zuberuk, daughter of Casfert Zuberuk, sister of Seruka Zuberuk, my sister, and friend of Qingtan..."

With each name Ling Yu uttered, Alice's eyes grew brighter.

No need for extra comfort, just let her know that she is the one and only Alice.

Alice clearly understood.

The chill that enveloped her body gradually dissipated, and she gently clenched Ling Yu's hand.

I was afraid the other person would disappear in the next second.

This is both a psychological effect and a biological response, because Ling Yu is providing 'heat' for Alice.

The core of the Herrscher of Flame has finally found its purpose—to provide warmth for lost children.

Upon seeing this, the others also put down what they were doing and quickly walked over.

"What's wrong with Alice?" Elena asked hurriedly.

She couldn't bear to see this adorable girl who always called her "sister" suffer even the slightest harm.

Ling Yu briefly recounted the events.

After listening, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Nesting dolls?

It's both virtual and fake.

The people in this world really know how to have fun.

Of course, only Ellie's expression never changed, because she, like Ling Yu, immediately sensed that something was wrong with this world.

Like Ling Yu, after being transformed from a physical entity into data by the chat group through the spatial channel and arriving in the UW world, she felt that she could easily dominate this world.

This confidence comes from her, the former Herald of Civilization and the quantum soul steel liquid computer!

After calming herself down, Alice asked, "Ling Yu, do you think that in Kirito's eyes, Eugeo, me, and everything in this world are fake?"

"It's better if you ask Kirito yourself next time you see him."

“My statement represents only my own opinion; you will need to judge for yourself what the actual situation is,” Ling Yu said.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Alice nodded gently.

However, compared to the beginning, there was a hint of worry between his brows.

Seeing this, Ling Yu gave Ai Li a look.

The latter understands it perfectly.

He appeared behind Alice without leaving a trace, and while she was deep in thought, he slipped his hands under her armpits, took Alice from Ling Yu's hands, and lifted her into the air.

"Oh! Sister Aili?"

Alice gasped as she was suddenly picked up, but a look of confusion crossed her delicate face when she saw that the person behind her was Ellie.

"Ling Yu, hurry."

Alice didn't answer Alice, but looked at Ling Yu instead.

Ling Yu smiled and gently breathed on his hands.

Then, to Alice's utter bewilderment, the devil's claws reached out towards her waist.

"Jie Jie Jie."

The villain's laughter echoed.

Then came Alice's 'joyful' laughter.

"Hahahaha, Brother Ling Yu, stop! Hahahaha, please stop! Hahahaha, am I going to die?!"

The tickling sensation on both sides of her waist made Alice burst into laughter.

Tears welled up from laughter.

Its small body unleashed strength comparable to that of an adult.

If it weren't for Alice holding her, she really would have been able to break free.

Looking at Alice, who was experiencing both pain and pleasure, Elena and Midori both shuddered.

so horrible!

It was practically torture.

After scratching for a while, Ling Yu withdrew his sinful hands and let Ellie put Alice on the ground.

At this point, Alice's body and legs had completely gone limp.

The moment Ellie put him down, he landed hard on the cold ice.

Looking at Alice, who was sprawled on the ground, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, Ling Yu smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Brother Lingyu, you're so mean!"

Upon hearing this, Alice rolled her eyes.

Great? That's wonderful!

She almost laughed herself silly!

Whose brother is this, offering comfort like this?

"Do you feel much better after laughing?" Ling Yu asked with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Alice checked herself over and, finding that her body was no longer stiff, nodded gently.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she did feel much more relaxed.

Of course, this does not mean that she agrees with Ling Yu's method.

I almost met my grandmother, who had already passed away.

"Don't think about Kirito. If you get tired of this world, you can come live with me for a while, or even move here completely, it's fine."

After comforting Alice, Ling Yu uttered that timeless saying again: "My house is quite big."

To live in Ling Yu's world?

Alice's eyes sparkled.

Clearly, she was tempted, but she was still ruthless.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I understand."

"Alice, don't worry, in my eyes you will always be unique." Seeing that Alice's emotions had calmed down, Elena also spoke up.

"Thank you, Elena. I'm alright now." Hearing the concern in Elena's words, Alice felt a warmth in her heart.

Yes.

She is who she is, a firework of a different color.

After the matter was over, Elena took the white dragon's remains.

In her opinion, the white dragon skeleton was an excellent magical material.

She is a witch.

He is proficient in both magic and alchemy.

As for those gold coins?

Elena originally wanted to compete, but her opponent was Ellie.

After a best-of-three game of rock-paper-scissors, she gloriously became the loser, watching helplessly as Ellie took away the treasure.

"Thank you, little Elena."

Ellie put away the pile of white dragon treasures, and then, with a grin, added insult to injury for Elena.

Irena: "..."

On this day, she recalled the fear she had felt when she was dominated by Alicia.

……

"That's the Dark Empire over there."

Led by Alice, the group saw the cave inside the End Mountains, where the Dark Empire and the human world meet.

It was from this cave that Alice emerged and teleported the Dark Empire's dragon to Ling Yu for treatment.

According to the Taboo Index, once you step onto that clearly colored ground, congratulations on your promotion to a distinguished Integrity Knight.

Aside from having their memories sealed by the Integration Ritual, they will possess everything else—artifacts, power, status, and so on.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a meteoric rise.

"Little Alice, do you remember the dragon you used to keep with me?" Ling Yu suddenly asked, gazing at the dark and gloomy sky.

"Remember."

Alice said.

She delivered it herself, how could she not remember?

"I'll return it to you today."

As he spoke, Ling Yu raised his right hand, and the dark golden imaginary space opened out of thin air.

Suddenly, a giant, dark dragon flew out from within, carrying a strong wind, and sped towards the distant sky.

As if happy to be returning to its homeland, it excitedly flew through the sky.

"How did it get so big?"

Alice exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the flying dragon.

Is the food at Lingyu's place really that good?

Before, it was only a few meters, but now it's approaching 100 meters.
