Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Okay, finish the task as soon as possible, and then have a nice meal. Oh, and I've also researched a few dishes from your hometown. Try my cooking then."

Lin Yan was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected Asuna to be so perceptive. He had only revealed it once, but Asuna had remembered it completely and devoted herself to studying it.

Lin Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Asuna raised her hand. "Let's go!"

0103 Underground Cemetery [Please Subscribe]

December 29th.

The fifth floor of Aincrad.

Asuna still felt a strange fear in her heart. This was not due to her anxiety about the walkthrough, but rather because the [Cemetery] had a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.

Most people have some reservations about cemeteries.

There have been many ancient beliefs about the evil nature of cemeteries.

Legend has it that there is a witch's tomb.

Located on a hilltop, far from Brazelton Mountain Road in Tennessee, is the Stamp Cemetery, nicknamed the Witch Cemetery.

It's called the Witch's Cemetery because of its ghostly features.

For example, there are tent-like rock slabs where bodies are buried, tombstones with stars, five-pointed stars or strange markings, etc.

The local explanation is the same as an illiterate stamp seller using a five-pointed star instead of an X to sign his name, and it doesn't explain why animals die for no reason.

This undoubtedly casts a terrifying shadow over the area.

Most of humanity's fears stem from the unknown.

"call--"

Asuna took a deep breath.

The terrifying scene shrouded in mist did not appear; instead, there was a spacious hall, and even other people could be seen.

They gathered in small groups, some discussing travel tips, others dining, and some even taking a short nap.

It's more like a campsite than a cemetery.

"Is this Andi's room?"

Asuna muttered to herself.

"Still in the industry."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Upon hearing this, Asuna immediately relaxed, her entire demeanor becoming relaxed, a stark contrast to her tense expression just moments before.

She looked around.

The players here are all unfamiliar faces, so they probably don't belong to any raiding groups. Their equipment confirms this; there are even unarmed tourists among them.

"Their target is [the relics]?"

"That's right. I estimate there are no more resources left in the [relics] here. Let's rest and recuperate here before continuing our exploration."

According to Lin Yan's understanding, this floor is a safe zone, which is why so many 'scavengers' keep appearing here.

"lets go."

Lin Yan said.

Asuna followed behind Lin Yan, heading towards a dark entrance passage.

As they went deeper, the lights in the hall became more and more distant, and the surroundings grew darker and darker, causing Asuna to frown again.

Tick ​​tock!

The atmosphere was unusually quiet, even deathly still.

The sound of dripping water was unusually loud, and Asuna couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "I didn't expect it to rain. I was startled."

Asuna chatted idly.

"Rainy days really do make people irritable and uncomfortable," Lin Yan said, which is similar to the scene of rain in real life.

Blurred vision, general discomfort, and difficulty walking.

"But it's nice when it rains occasionally, especially rainy days are perfect for sleeping. Listening to the sound of raindrops is so comforting. The sound of rain hitting the window, the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves... I fall asleep without even realizing it, it's like a beautiful lullaby."

Asuna recalled.

Rainy days are also the quietest time for Asuna's heart.

She liked to lie in bed, savoring the atmosphere of the rain...

"Drip, drip, the raindrops fall."

That subtle feeling, as if you were completely immersed in it, was wonderful.

Many people enjoy the atmosphere of a rainy day.

Whether it's a light drizzle, gentle raindrops, or a torrential downpour, as long as you're in a safe and comfortable environment, you can truly enjoy this moment.

The sound of rain at this moment is more healing than any music.

This is the power of nature.

"We need to continue forward and enter the fork in the road."

Asuna opened the window, and the map displayed the marker for the mission destination.

As Asuna walked from the main path to the side path, the narrow side path made her sweat again, for beyond the side path was a cliff.

If you fall, you will be smashed to pieces.

"finally reached."

Asuna breathed a sigh of relief.

The destination was a small auditorium with benches and stone statues, and a few scattered lights on the ground, which were the light source of candles.

The rest of the area was shrouded in darkness.

Most importantly, it was completely deserted.

"What kind of mission is this?"

Asuna's anxiety surged up once again.

"[Thirty years of lamentation]".

"What? But the sighs of the year?"

Asuna's expression was rather unpleasant, her brows furrowed tightly. If it were a search-type quest, that would be much simpler.

She reluctantly glanced at the mission information.

The client, an NPC, is a middle-aged man living alone. After moving here, strange noises or dishes falling to the ground for no apparent reason occur in his new home every night.

Mission: Investigate the truth.

"Is this location below the NPC?"

Asuna asked, puzzled.

Lin Yan smiled gently.

Switch between maps.

Although still somewhat confused, Asuna followed Lin Yan's instructions. She switched the map from the first floor of the underground cemetery to the first floor of the street and then back again.

"Our current location matches the quest NPC marker on the street map perfectly. So this is the source of the strange noise."

Asuna looked around.

After a moment, Asuna frowned. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't find any clues.

She even began to doubt whether the source of those strange noises was here, or whether her initial judgment was wrong.

She secretly glanced at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan, however, did not make any move.

There are only two sources of unusual noises: one is noises caused by living things, and the other is noises caused by non-living things.

Asuna glanced at Lin Yan again. Lin Yan didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the answer; instead, he was unusually quiet.

She had no complaints.

Asuna has always relied too much on Lin Yan, and she knows that becoming stronger herself is the best thing to do.

Asuna's eyes lost some of their confusion and became more resolute.

Lin Yan smiled. This was the real Asuna, the radiant Asuna.

Strong and beautiful.

"The key is to search this small auditorium. We must pay attention to even the smallest details. We will definitely find the source of the strange noise."

Asuna seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps cheering herself on.

Lin Yan remained silent.

The more Lin Yan got to know Asuna during the time he spent with her, the more he liked her.

Authentic and beautiful.

"If you look carefully, you will definitely find it."

Asuna used her sight, smell, and hearing to carefully investigate, and suddenly asked, "I remember the NCP said the strange noise occurred around 2 a.m., am I right?"

"Yes."

Lin Yan gave an affirmative answer.

“There’s still some time before 2 a.m., and I think we should investigate at the same time; we might make an unexpected discovery.”

"This type of task falls under the category of time-limited events."

Lin Yan explained.

Each task is more than just about gaining experience points; it also hones one's adaptability and independent thinking skills. In the past, Asuna relied too much on Lin Yan, even abandoning independent thought for a long time.

This can actually reduce a person's ability to cope with emergencies.

When facing a boss, everything changes in an instant. A single second can determine life or death, so strong on-the-spot reaction skills are essential. This is your lifeline.

If you can't even do this, then the more you try to conquer the higher levels, the greater the chance you'll become cannon fodder.

Although in the original storyline, Asuna successfully logged out of SAO.

but--

This is no longer the original SAO.

Lin Yan had a hunch that the more he intervened, the greater the chance and extent of changes to the SAO storyline would occur.

Then everything becomes an unknown.

"However, waiting until 2 a.m. seems like too long." You still refuse to let Asuna's inner energy be used in this dark little auditorium from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.

"Alright, then I'll kindly remind you, here's a hint..."

"hint?"

Asuna looked at Lin Yan with some confusion, but then she realized something. She held her breath.

clack.

blah blah blah!
