"Well, after you left, Mr. Zhao Si came to Hongyu Palace. It was at that time that he told me about this." Asuna said.

"Oh, is that so? What a pity. I wouldn't have left so early if I had known." Doma said with a puzzled look on his face.

The experience in the game made the girls trust Zhao Si very much. After hearing that Zhao Si had told Asuna about this, the concerns that had always been in Doma Mai's heart were quickly calmed down.

"Hey, Asuna, since this situation has happened to you and me, will other people..." After a while, Doma Mai suddenly said.

"I think so. I'm not sure. I've been back to reality for so many days, and I only met you by chance. As for other people, I haven't looked for them yet." Asuna said.

She has been dealing with various inquiries from her family these days and has no time to pay attention to other things.

"Is that so... Well, how about this, we go find the others and get together?" suggested Doma Mai.

"Haven't we had similar thoughts before? We must get together once we get back to the real world. I think now's the perfect time to ask everyone if they've encountered the same situation as us."

Party...

"Well...but, I remember some of them don't live in Tokyo, right? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Asuna thought for a moment and said.

She wasn't really opposed to the gathering. After all, they were all partners who had fought together for a year and a half, so naturally, there was no doubt about the affection between them.

"It's okay, we can find one in Tokyo for now." Doma Mai said. She really wanted to meet her friends in the game in real life.

"Okay, then let's go find it according to the address we left each other." Asuna nodded.

As she spoke, Asuna couldn't help but think of Zhao Si, Zhao Wu and Erya, and felt a little regretful.

After learning about the existence of Gensokyo from Zhao Si, Asuna knew very well that if she tried hard, she might be able to get even those who were not in Tokyo to attend the party, but it would be impossible for those three people to be present because there was a world of distance between them.

Can the distances across the world be bridged?

Asuna didn't know that this was an unimaginable thing for her, but even so, Asuna still firmly believed in the words that Zhao Si said to her when they parted.

I'll wait for you, Mr. Zhao Si.

Asuna silently recited in her heart, her thoughts at this moment were like an extremely bright beacon, shining in the void.

Until a certain moment.

"Om!!"

Slight ripples appeared in the void, tracking the location of the beacon, and invisible waves spread throughout the world.

Chapter 567 Yotsuya Miko

When he opened his eyes, what appeared before Zhao Si was a prosperous city shrouded in darkness.

"Did it work, Yui?"

As he spoke, Zhao Si looked around and found that he was at the exit of an alley.

"Well! Dad, this should be the world where Mom is!" A voice sounded, and a stream of data flashed beside Zhao Si, and then Yui's somewhat transparent figure appeared.

"Really? Very good. Then let me see where I am now." Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction.

Then he waved his hand in the air, and as if he was in the game world before, the game system panel that only Zhao Si could see appeared in front of Zhao Si.

"Another level..."

Subconsciously, Zhao Si looked at his level, and then saw an extremely familiar number appear in the level column.

"Dad, since you are starting the 'game' for the first time as a virtual game character, you are only at level one at the moment," Yui explained.

Although this "game" was created by her, she couldn't directly raise Zhao Si's level to 100. This was unrealistic. If everything created by Yui was compared to a game, then this world was the platform for publishing the game.

If the quality or standards of the game do not meet the platform requirements, then even if the game is completed, it cannot be provided to players.

"Well, level one, which is equivalent to releasing one percent of my power in my heyday? It's okay, it's almost enough. If not... I should be able to upgrade this time, right?" Zhao Si said.

"Don't worry, Dad, it's okay." Yui nodded and patted her chest.

"That's okay. Let's go and find your mother." Zhao Si said with a smile after hearing that.

"Yeah! Yui really wants to see what her mother looks like in the real world!" Hearing this, Yui said with anticipation.

After the father and daughter finished talking, Zhao Si opened the map that came with the game system. After marking the address of Asuna's home that she had mentioned, Zhao Si flashed and rushed towards the marked place.

"Is this right here?"

In front of the main door of a house, Asuna and Tsuchima looked around. At the entrance to the house, a plaque with the resident's surname hung there.

"The Yotsuya family...it should be correct. This should be Mieko's home." Doma Mei looked at the plaque and nodded.

She had previously discussed with Asuna about getting her in-game friends together. Of those people, not counting those who joined later, those who had been together since the early stages of the game had actually known each other long before the Sword Art Online public beta, and they had kept in touch with each other.

After deciding to have a party, Doma Mei told people like Kousaka Kirino, Gabriel and Izumi Konokata about it.

As for those who joined later, such as Yotsuya Miko, Yurikawa Hana, etc., they needed to tell them about this matter in person.

So, the two of them discussed it and immediately went to the house of Yotsuya Miko, who was closest to them.

Looking at the house in front of them, the two were about to ring the doorbell, but at this moment...

"Bang!!"

A sudden loud noise interrupted their actions. Asuna and Tsuchima Mei looked up and saw a familiar figure flying out from the broken window of the house in front of them.

"See you!?"

Asuna and Tsuchima Mei screamed in surprise. The figure that flew out was none other than the person they were looking for, Yotsuya Miko.

"Eh? Asuna, Umaru-chan?!"

Hearing the sound, Yotsuya Miko, who came out of the broken window, looked at Asuna and Tsuchima Mei standing in front of her house with a look of surprise. She seemed to have not expected to see her friends in the game here at this time, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Ooooooooooo! Don't... run!!!"

However, soon, a low and terrifying roar came from the house behind Yotsuya Miko, pulling Yotsuya Miko back from her dazed state.

“…Tsk, damn it!”

Coming back to her senses, Yotsuya Miko frowned and looked back into the house. Through the broken window, she could see a pair of eyes full of resentment staring at her.

"Jianzi, what's going on? Why are you..."

"No time to explain, Asuna, let's go!"

Asuna and the other person came to Yotsuya Miko and were about to ask what happened, but before Asuna could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yotsuya Miko with an anxious look on her face.

Yotsuya Miko was wearing casual clothes and holding a sword. Asuna and Tsuchima Yui had guessed Yotsuya Miko's situation the moment they saw the sword. It was obvious that her situation was the same as theirs.

Yotsuya Miko was very anxious, but it was this anxiety that made Asuna and Tsuchima Mei very confused. They wondered what had happened that made Yotsuya Miko look so anxious.

However, soon, there was no need for Yotsuya Miko to explain, and the next moment the "answer" appeared before their eyes in a grand manner.

The huge and terrifying figure, the giant skull made up of more than ten heads, the long body constructed by connected spines, and the rows of legs made up of human hands and feet, looked like an oversized human centipede.

“What…what is this!?”

Staring blankly at the terrifying creature that came out of the Yotsuya family, Doma Mei couldn't help but take a few steps back, and her little face turned pale.

For a girl, no matter how different she is now, the impact of this big thing in front of her is still too great.

Asuna had a similar reaction. Although she was called the Ghost of Strategy, she was also afraid of things that girls would be afraid of, not to mention that the thing in front of her was a combination of a ghost and an insect. The lethality of it was not just a simple matter of one plus one being greater than two for her. Anyway, the moment she saw this thing, Asuna felt that her breathing almost froze.

"Woo woo woo! Don't... run... eat..."

The evil spirit let out an indistinct howl, it looked at Yotsuya Miko, and then took Asuna and Tsuchima into its sight.

“Woo woo woo woo! More...to eat!!!” The evil spirit twisted and swayed its body, making excited sounds as if because it had two more preys.

"Hmm, you must be kidding... Isn't this thing only in games? Why is it here..." Coming back to her senses, Doma Mai said with some confusion.

She had seen similar creatures before. In the game, when Yotsuya Miko joined the team, wild monsters like the one in front of her would often appear in their field of vision. After defeating them, the experience points given were more than twice that of ordinary wild monsters.

But now they have clearly returned to reality, how could they still encounter such evil spirits? They clearly hadn't encountered them in the past few days.

Or is it due to some other reasons?

Thinking of this, Asuna and Tsuchima Mei turned their gazes to Yotsuya Miko at the same time.

"...I'm sorry, but now is not the time to explain. Let's go quickly. This big guy is too strong. He is no weaker than some floor bosses." Facing the gazes of the two people, Yotsuya Miko said apologetically.

Hearing this, the two of them had to temporarily put aside their doubts and followed Yotsuya Miko out of the Yotsuya house, and the evil spirit naturally followed closely behind.

As dusk deepens, a chase is unfolding amid the roar of a huge evil spirit.

Chapter 568 Arrival

"Hmm? Asuna isn't home?"

Standing on the roof, looking at the luxuriously decorated mansion in front of him, Zhao Si was a little surprised.

Zhao Si knew that Asuna's real name was Yuuki Asuna, and the mansion in front of him with the plaque "Yusei Family" was undoubtedly Asuna's home in the real world.

However, at this time, Zhao Si did not sense Asuna's presence in the house. There was only a middle-aged woman. Well, if nothing unexpected happened, it should be Asuna's mother.

"That's strange. Where did it go at this hour?"

Touching his chin, Zhao Si said with some confusion.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Zhao Si felt something in his heart and sensed a violent wave spreading somewhere in the city.

At the same time, within Zhao Si's field of vision, in those dark and deep corners, figures exuding an ominous aura slowly walked out, as if they had received some special summons, and rushed in the same direction.

“It’s these things…”

With a frown, Zhao Si flashed and appeared next to an evil spirit whose head was bigger than a water tank.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuah!!!"

Looking at Zhao Si who suddenly appeared in front of him, the evil spirit howled and raised his hand to slap Zhao Si.

"Oh!"

“Wuwuwua ...

The evil spirit's hand, which had just been raised, exploded instantly before it could be swung down. The huge force caused its body to stagger, and it fell to the ground wailing.

On the other hand, Zhao Si's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, and the next moment the huge evil spirit shrank inch by inch, and was finally taken into his hand.

"This guy must have eaten a lot of evil spirits. He is almost at the level where he can show his true colors in public." Zhao Si said as he looked at the evil spirit in his hand.

Zhao Si had seen these things in Aincrad, and the person who was related to these things was naturally Yotsuya Miko.

"Could something have happened to Jianzi?" Zhao Si couldn't help but think.

No, not just seeing the child.

Zhao Si's eyes fixed, and he looked into the distance at the direction where the evil spirits were heading. An inexplicable premonition emerged in his heart. His intuition told him that the person he was looking for was in the place where the evil spirits were heading.

After realizing this, Zhao Si just pressed his fingertips lightly, and the evil spirit in his hand disappeared into thin air in an instant.

With a flash of his body, Zhao Si rushed towards the direction where the evil spirit was heading.

"boom!!"

Waving its long tail, the huge centipede-shaped evil spirit kept slapping the four tiny figures in front of it with its tail, making a loud noise wherever it passed.

"Woo woo woo, don't run! Don't run! Eat! Let me eat!!"

Hearing the deafening roar coming from behind them, Asuna and the others turned a deaf ear and just ran quickly towards the suburbs.

If you really think about it, although Hina and the other two are indeed no match for this BOSS-level evil spirit, it does not mean that the other party can easily control them.

The reason why they ran away was mainly because they were still in the city. Although many people had gone home at this time, there were still many people wandering on the streets.

You know, except for certain specific groups, ordinary people cannot see evil spirits.

If Asuna and the others were to fight the evil spirits, losing would be one thing, but in the eyes of others, it might seem like they were just battling wits and courage with the air like lunatics.

After all, these three people are girls, and they don’t want to see themselves in major media the next day.

Of course, after running for so long, it’s almost time for the three of them to fight back.

During the chase, they discovered that when the evil spirit was excited, it would emit a special gas that could attract other evil spirits. So far, most of the evil spirits attracted by the gas have ended up in the stomach of the centipede-shaped evil spirit.

Because of this, the evil spirit has become much bigger and taller than it was at the beginning.

This may sound disadvantageous to Asuna and the others, but the opposite is actually true.

It is true that the evil spirit's size has grown, but correspondingly, its movements have become very bloated, and its speed in chasing them has slowed down a lot.

Now, although Hina and the others still cannot defeat the evil spirit, if they want to escape, the evil spirit really can't catch up with them.

Soon, under the deliberate guidance of Asuna and others, they and the centipede-shaped evil spirit gradually left the bustling city.
