Kiritani Kazuto's nervous expression gradually relaxed at first. He had seen such a cloak before. Those are the clothes that the GM who is an Argus member will definitely wear during the closed beta test. But at that time, the male GM must have been an old man who looked like a magician and had a long beard;

For women, there must be a female character wearing glasses under the cloak. It may be that there is no way to create a character due to some problem, so at least the cloak appears first, but there is nothing under the crimson cloak, which makes Kiritani Kazuto feel unspeakably uneasy.

At this time, as if to stop these sounds, the right sleeve of the cloak suddenly moved.

Pure white gloves can be seen from the enlarged cuffs. But the sleeves and gloves are obviously separated from each other, and the physical part is completely invisible.

Then the left sleeve was slowly raised. On the heads of ten thousand players, the empty white gloves opened to the left and right, and it felt like the faceless man was opening his mouth, and then immediately a man's deep and clear voice came from far above.

"Dear players, welcome to my world."

"My name is Kayaba Akihiko. I am the only person who can control this world now."

"I think all players have noticed that the logout button has disappeared from the main menu screen. But this is not a problem with the game. I repeat. This is not a problem with the game, but with "Sword Art Online" The original version."

"This...original version?"

Countless players were in an uproar and the crowd was boiling.

"From now on, you will not be able to log out of the game until you reach the top of this castle."

The man named Kayaba Akihiko paused, digested the information in his words, and then continued to say to everyone:

"…Furthermore, there is no way for outsiders to stop or deactivate Nervgear. If someone tries to do so——"

There was a brief silence.

The following words were spoken slowly in the heavy silence of ten thousand people holding their breath:

"——The microwaves emitted by Nervgear's signal component will destroy your brain and stop your life activities."

If the power of the nervgear is cut off, or if the fixing lock is unlocked and it is removed from the head, the user wearing the nervgear will be killed. This is Kayaba's declaration.

Asuna's pupils were constricted next to her, and Naoki Kiritani also showed a hint of appropriate shock.

Asuna grabbed Kiritani Naoki and said with a stiff expression: "This can't be true, this shouldn't be true. He must be lying to us. What is the original version? I want to go out, I want to go out."

Kiritani Naoki didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't speak.

Now all the players are having a blast.

Kiritani Naoki can understand the player, but he will also be angry if he is told that he is trapped in the game, and that death in the game is also real death in reality.

After all, it’s hard to get home from get off work and encounter such a mess while playing a game. Anyone would be filled with resentment.

But within a few seconds, the crowd suddenly became excited, countless people whispered, and some people loudly said to their companions: "Haha... what is that guy talking about? This is simply impossible. This kind of thing is simply impossible. Nervgear …It’s just a game console.”

"The external power supply is cut off for more than ten minutes, the network is disconnected for more than two hours, attempts are made to destroy the nervgear body or to unlock the fixed lock - only under the above conditions will the brain destruction program be executed. And these conditions have been revealed. We have announced it to the outside world through our company and the media. By the way, at this point in time, many family members and friends of players have ignored our warning and tried to forcibly cancel Nervgear, and the result is..."

The loud metallic voice spoke to this place, and I took a breath.

"——Unfortunately, there are currently 213 players who have permanently withdrawn from the real world and Aincrad."

I don't know where the only cry came from. In addition, most of the players around him either couldn't believe it or were unwilling to believe this fact. They only had a slight smile on their faces or were in a daze.

"You don't need to worry about your body in the real world. Now all TV, radio, and online media are constantly reporting on this situation and the many victims. Therefore, the nervgears on your heads have been forcibly removed. It can be said that the risk has been reduced to a very low level. From now on, your body in the real world should be transported to a hospital or other facility during the two-hour disconnection buffer time while wearing nervgear. Please take careful care of it. I hope you can rest assured... and just focus on conquering the game."

"However, I hope you will pay special attention to it. For everyone, "Sword Art Online" is no longer just a game, but another real world. From now on... all resurrection functions will be canceled in the game. So when HP reaches zero In an instant, your characters will be wiped out forever, and at the same time..."

"Your brains will be destroyed by nervgear."

hitpoint, the residual value of life.

The moment it reaches zero, I will truly die - according to Kayaba, my brain will be cooked by microwaves and I will die immediately.

This is indeed a game. It's a real game of life and death. That is, the game of death.

Asuna's face turned pale, and sensing her somewhat lost mood, Naoki Kiritani held her hand and whispered in her ear: "Are you okay? Asuna."

The girl's appearance was really worrying, and only Kiritani Naoki's big hug could comfort her.

Asuna lowered her head, feeling very bad.

Kiritani Naoki looked towards Kiritani Kazuto and found that even he was in a very bad mood.

The worse speeches continued.

"There is only one condition that can liberate you from this game. As I just mentioned, reach the highest level of Aincrad, which is the 100th floor, and then defeat the final devil waiting there. I It is guaranteed that at that moment, all surviving players can log out of the game safely."

Kayaba Akihiko's words were like a spark igniting a powder keg, and everyone instantly became noisy.

It’s New Year’s Day, so there’s not too many words for water, right?
