Evolution of a Girl

"Next, we should go to the Smiling Coffin's base..."

Asuna was very skilled. Although unarmed, she was still confident that she could subdue the opponent with her feet. Although she couldn't kill him because it was in the game world, if she wanted to escape, there would probably be few people in the entire world of Sword Art Online who could catch Asuna. This was also the reason why Asuna dared to go undercover.

But at this moment, the members of the Smiling Coffin in front of her did not take her away as Asuna had expected.

Instead, he took out a red handkerchief and stuffed it into Asuna's face.

Asuna couldn't see her own condition, but she clearly felt a wave of fatigue rushing towards her forehead.

"Hmm...I was careless."

When Asuna woke up again, she felt her mind was in a daze.

She never expected that the other party would choose to use drugs to make her unconscious.

When she woke up again, Asuna immediately felt that something was wrong with her.

"Hey, is this clothing?"

There is a feeling of tightness on the body, as if one were wearing those combat uniforms in the real world.

"here it is……?"

Asuna opened her eyes in a trance and found herself in a prison, which seemed to be inside a cave.

In the prison next to Asuna, there are several village girls who are still in a coma.

"This is……"

She lowered her head and looked at her body.

This is a combat suit mainly in black, made of latex, which completely covers the part below the head, but the shoulders on both sides are hollowed out, exposing the shoulders on both sides.

In addition to himself, several unconscious village girls opposite were also wearing the same clothes.

Asuna looked around and then looked at her own attributes.

Asuna in NPC state cannot see her own status, but her equipment and skills are still there.

So Asuna clicked on her equipment, and she immediately found that all her previous equipment was gone, and she only had one piece of equipment on her.

"Laughing Coffin - Slave Outfit (Locked): Laughing Coffin's slave uniform, capable of being locked. Designed and produced by the Laughing Coffin guild. Attributes cannot be viewed in the current state."

It was obvious that Asuna didn't change these clothes herself.

"That's all?"

Asuna looked outside.

Although she was imprisoned now, Asuna had been trained as a soldier before, so it would be no problem for her to escape from the prison.

"What on earth are they going to do?"

Despite the devastating start, Asuna wasn't particularly concerned. Rather, she felt as if she had entered the interior of a smiling coffin, which was quite exhilarating.

After all, it's like this now.

"What exactly does the Laughing Coffin want to do?" Asuna pondered.

And at this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from a distance...

Chapter 519 Brand

"Oh? This NPC really does look like Shining!"

“PoH…!”

Asuna had never seen the person who appeared outside the cell, but she knew him because the Blood Alliance Knights had fought against him many times. This person was PoH, the leader of the Laughing Coffin.

However, next to this person, there were two other players. These two were a bit strange. Looking at their appearance, Asuna felt that they did not seem to be combat players. Rather, they gave Asuna the feeling that they were somewhat similar to the researchers Asuna had seen in the research institute.

"Look up!" PoH shouted.

“…Ah! Don’t kill me…”

Asuna continued to act.

"Tsk, you don't have any shining temperament at all." PoH said this with a ferocious smile on his face. Asuna took a step back appropriately and even fell to the ground.

"Hahahahahahaha!" PoH burst into laughter again. After a while, he asked, "What's your name?"

"I, I'm...Lara..." Asuna replied in a weak voice.

"After the other party finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "It's boring. I'll leave it to you. Hurry up and complete your plan."

PoH, the leader, left like this.

But the other two people did not. Not only that, on the contrary, three more people came into the cell at this time, and they were three strong and tall warriors.

They opened the cell and brought Asuna out.

"what--!"

Asuna pretended to be panicked and struggled, testing these people at the same time.

But they remained unmoved and simply pulled Asuna outside the cell. There was a hall with a fireplace inside.

Asuna was thrown down and tied to a chair.

"iron?"

At this time, Asuna noticed that the two craftsmen in front were burning something inside the furnace.

"No! No!" Her body struggled.

But one of them had already come over with a red-hot iron.

Asuna, seemingly panicked, remained calm. For players, this brand would at most be a debuff or temporary body patch, resetting upon changing maps or when the timer expired. Although Asuna was currently an "NPC," she could reset the brand by simply reverting to a player.

She didn't think there was anything special about the branding iron. She thought the pain was something she could endure by gritting her teeth.

However, things seemed to be somewhat beyond Asuna's expectations.

The craftsman took out the iron, but instead of using it on Asuna immediately, he placed it in a nearby pool of water, though it wasn't water itself, but some sticky liquid. When the iron was removed from the pool after a while, it was still red, with a strange layer of black and white liquid clinging to its surface.

“——!!!!”

The branding iron was pressed against Asuna's right shoulder.

She had thought it would just be a pain, but that was not the case.

At the moment of being branded, Asuna felt as if the slave suit on her body was also activated in an instant. An unusual feeling emerged from the brand and connected with the slave suit on her body, as if the chess pieces had merged into one. An indescribable feeling spread throughout her body.

She felt her spirits rising and rising, and she couldn't help but scream - this was not acting, but an instinctive reaction of her body.

The strong shock instantly spread throughout her body, causing her to pass out...

……

In the darkness, Asuna seemed to see something.

It was inside a space battleship, where he was being trained as a combatant.

She gradually remembered.

In other words, after entering Sword Art Online, the memory that was hidden by Kayaba Akihiko has begun to revive.

But now, the memory is becoming clearer and clearer...

"……Well!"

When she opened her eyes again, Asuna felt completely exhausted.

She looked around and found herself back in her cell.

But it was not the solitary cell as before, but a more modern collective prison-like place. There were many girls lying on the ground around. They were wearing the same uniform as Asuna, and there was a mark on their right shoulder.

"This is the mark of the Smiling Coffin!"

Asuna recognized it immediately. She also had a similar mark on her shoulder.

Moreover, Asuna clearly felt that this mark seemed to have activated the slave outfit on her body, and she seemed to be controlled by the clothes and the mark on her body.

"It's a shame the NPC can't check their own status." Asuna opened the character panel. However, the NPC panel was much simpler than the player's.

"what……"

Then Asuna was surprised after seeing her own attributes.

Because Asuna discovered that her affiliation had become "Smiling Coffin" and her identity had become "Slave (under education)".

"And this place..."

It's obviously not the prison it used to be.

I was transferred again...!

"what……!"

At this moment, the women around Asuna also woke up, and they seemed to be stunned by the scene before them.

"Are you okay?"

Although she knew the other party was an NPC, seeing his panic, Asuna couldn't help but ask a question out of concern.

"I, I've become a slave... wuwuwu..."

The girl was aware of her condition and couldn't help sobbing.

"It's fine."

While comforting him, Asuna thought about what Heathcliff had said when she came here. "I've spoken with the technicians of Sword Art Online before. The random NPCs in this game all have artificial intelligence, but for various reasons, their wills are relatively weak. Except for a few, most of the others are easily shaped. Laughing Coffin may also know this. But for your infiltration, this may make it easier..."

You don't need excessive acting skills to pretend to be willing to die rather than surrender. You just need to follow the steps of these AIs and obey them.

But when she saw the crying girl, Asuna felt a little guilty from the bottom of her heart.

Instead, the crying girl adjusted herself at this time.

"Thank you. It seems I have no choice but to live here." The other person wiped away his tears and adjusted himself as if he had accepted his fate.

"The NPC betrayed us so quickly..." Asuna was a little stunned, and she felt a little uneasy about her own sympathy...

But she also immediately realized: "If Laughing Coffin really has the technology to transform NPCs into killers in large quantities, then the players will indeed be in great danger!"

In a test involving millions of people, there are actually a large number of casual players and ordinary players. The strategy team may not be afraid of NPC killers, but those ordinary players who are powerless will definitely be in crisis!

Chapter 520 Asuna's Training

Asuna gradually realized where she was.

This is a place similar to a ruin, located in a circular mountain, about several kilometers in diameter. There are many buildings and caves inside the mountain, and inside is a huge field, with a small forest in the middle and a small lake.

However, there is no place to leave here. All supplies are dropped directly from the top of the mountain. Apart from this, there is no other way to leave.

This is an absolutely enclosed place.

Even Asuna had no way to do it, because the crater had a small mouth and a big belly, and Asuna had no way to surpass the physical limits and climb along a wall with a slope greater than 90 degrees.

Even if you're in player mode, escaping is difficult. While you can use the city return crystal to forcibly escape, NPCs have limited access to items, and many player items are unavailable to NPCs.

In other words, Asuna found that she really couldn't get out.

"Hold on tight!"

"Good footwork!"

"Stand up straight!"

A burly black man was directing a group of young girls armed with wooden swords in assassination training. Asuna was among them.

What Laughing Coffin needs is a killer who can be used as a murder tool.

"It's almost like a soldier's posture..."

Asuna was surprisingly familiar with these movements, and her memories of past training began to gradually revive.

"The slave outfit I'm wearing seems to have some bonus to my orders..."
