Is this okay?

"Kirito, the more one calculates in life, the more helpless one feels."

Leng Mo looked at the sky and said something incomprehensible, without even a clue.

What...are you trying to say?

Kirito became alert, his brow furrowing as he realized something was amiss. After all, when Leng Mo went berserk, anyone who got close would be attacked.

The best course of action now is to stay away!

"This is a trial! A trial to overcome the past! A trial is about overcoming it and getting it over with!"

Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked at Kirito in front of him and spoke righteously, his whole body filled with a sense of resolve.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Rodrika walked up to Leng Mo from behind.

"The Faded Ones..."

Kirito's face paled in surprise, and he immediately opened his mouth and shouted:

"Rodica! Don't go near Leng Mo!"

"Why?" Rodrigo suddenly paused, looking at Kirito with confusion, then turned to look at Leng Mo.

"This guy is dangerous right now, there's absolutely no way we can get close!"

Kirito didn't know what was going on with Leng Mo, but he absolutely couldn't get close to her at this time!

Meanwhile, Leng Mo's mind was racing...

What to do? What to do? What to do!

Use your invincible brain to think of a solution! Strange cold!!

Start calculating, my brain cells!

If this continues... once someone notices that my underwear is ripped, my life as a human being will be over!

Calm down... and think about it carefully again.

My current situation is that my pants have a ripped seam and the crotch is open, but I can just put on some clothes and it will be fine.

That's right!

Thinking of this, Leng Mo couldn't help but gleam with a sharp light in his eyes. As long as he put on his clothes without anyone noticing, he would be fine.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Asuna and Yuki, seeing Kirito's nervousness, immediately became anxious and rushed over.

"what happened?"

"Could he be injured?"

The two approached Leng Mo and asked him a question.

"Don't come over here!"

“Oh re lo so ba ni ki self word k nai——!!”

Leng Mo and Tong Ren shouted at the same time, their expressions filled with fear. On one hand, they were afraid that Leng Mo would attack the people around them, and on the other hand, they were afraid that their underwear would rip and be seen by the girls.

"..."

"..."

Asuna and Sachi were stunned and stood frozen in place. Although they didn't know what had happened, they could clearly sense that this matter was definitely not simple.

Leng Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Asuna and the other person stop, and began to think with a serious expression.

Good, this distance is safe for now.

But! I'll definitely see that distance once I start moving!

No!

I, strange_cold, will absolutely not fall here!

Absolutely impossible!

At this moment, Leng Mo was so anxious about the situation that he even exuded an unprecedented sense of pressure.

It exudes an imperial aura!

Who said that again...? We are all soldiers chosen by fate.

No one can defy the destiny ordained by Heaven; the only outcome awaiting them is destruction!

but--!

Only I, this strange cold!, can stand at the eternal peak!

I will never give up. As long as there is even the slightest chance, I will not give up, just as I will not stop as long as the road continues to extend!

Then...burn! My brain cells—!

I need to figure out the perfect way to prevent the people around me from discovering that my underwear is ripped and has an open crotch!

Whoosh!

Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he pointed sharply in a direction, speaking with an air of authority:

"You're watching me, aren't you?!"

"!!!"

"who is it!?"

"There are still people here!"

Everyone was taken aback and looked sharply in the direction Leng Mo was pointing.

It's now!

Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his full power erupted the instant everyone was drawn in. With a speed that surpassed everything, he pulled out his clothes.

"Nobody's here?"

Rodrigo noticed that no one was about to turn around and look at Leng Mo.

It's a motor!

There's simply no time to put your pants on properly!

But it doesn't matter!

Smash it! Valudo!!

Let time stop!

In an instant, Leng Mo used the time-stop device he purchased from Xiao Meiwu to pause the time.

"WRYYYYYYY—! Victory always belongs to me, strange·cold!! I have five seconds now! Putting on my pants!! I won't even need three seconds!! Hahahaha! I won!"

Leng Mo declared his victory and then took three seconds to begin his operation.

Lifting his leg and putting on his pants, all in one smooth motion.

Completed in three seconds.

"Then, time begins to flow!"

Leng Mo smiled confidently, and time instantly began to flow.

Then Rodrikia looked at Leng Mo in disbelief: "Faded One, were you wearing pants just now?"

"Oh! Rodrika, my dear Rodrika! You wouldn't care about something so trivial, would you? You certainly wouldn't, would you?!"

Leng Mo threatened with an imperial air, his face filled with the aura that said, "If you say another word, I'll kill you."

"..."

Rodrigo, though unaware of what was happening, nodded knowingly.

"very good."

Leng Mo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Rodrik with great satisfaction.

Just then, a person walked out from the corner behind them; it was Kayaba Akihiko.

"Impressive! I didn't expect you to find out even though I hid it so cleverly!"

He clapped his hands in surprise, his face full of admiration.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, completely surprised that there was actually someone behind them, even though they hadn't seen anything just moments before.

And Leng Mo...

"..."

Nani! ?

There really was someone following us!

This is just... just in time!

Hahahaha! Looks like fate is on my side!

So as long as I continue to follow this trend, no one will know what happened to me just now!

That's right! That's it!

Nobody knows the truth: my pants ripped and the crotch opened!

Hahahaha!

However, Leng Mo was unaware that Melina, who was invisible, was standing speechlessly beside him. She was trying to find a secluded place to deliver a pair of sturdy underwear to Leng Mo. Although their relationship was based on a transaction, she still wanted to take care of him.

After he changed, I mended his underwear.

Losing connection during battle... that's so embarrassing...

Chapter 312 Something's not right about what you're saying!

Although Leng Mo had no idea that Melina had seen his underwear ripped the whole time, it didn't matter!

Leng Mo felt completely confident that his scheme was foolproof, and that no one could see through it at this moment.

There was even a sense of superiority, as if they were still the better strategist.

"Wait! You're Kayaba Akihiko!?"

Suddenly Kirito recognized the newcomer's identity and immediately became alert, staring at the person opposite him with a solemn expression, as if he might suddenly strike to cut off any unexpected event at the slightest carelessness.

He would show no mercy to Kayaba Akihiko, the mastermind behind all this.

Although we don't know exactly what's going on with this game, Kayaba Akihiko definitely has more clues in his hands, or at least he's involved, which is something we have to be wary of.

For a moment, an unprecedented solemnity emanated from Kirito.

After Kirito's surprise, Asuna and Sachi were also taken aback, staring wide-eyed at Kayaba Akihiko, their hearts filled with fear.

The man in front of you is the culprit who trapped you in the game!

Asuna and Sachika, unaware of the situation, assumed that the game was designed by Kayaba Akihiko. Although they didn't understand why, they now had to be careful.

Kayaba Akihiko was also very surprised, never expecting Kirito to recognize him at a glance, which made him wary.

"Who are you, and why do you know my identity?" He observed Kirito carefully, his expression filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Who I am isn't important, what's important is how much you resemble me! How did you change the game like this? Although the old game wasn't much better." Kirito looked at Kayaba Akihiko seriously, his face full of affirmation.

Kayaba Akihiko frowned. The only people who knew Kirito so well about his game were probably the beta testers.

In the past, he could have used his GM privileges to probe Kirito's beta test account, but now he can't. After arriving in this unfamiliar world, he has completely lost his GM privileges.

Although data exists in this world, he cannot touch it, just like an ordinary person in another world, filled with confusion.

"You're a beta tester, right?" Although he couldn't detect it, he could ask.

"Yes, I was really looking forward to your game back then. It's just a pity... your murder mystery game... surprised me for a long time."

Kirito looked at Kayaba Akihiko with a complicated expression. He initially loved the game Sword Art Online, but after joining the forum, he discovered that the game was a murder mystery game. His love and disgust were mixed together, making him unsure how to view Kayaba Akihiko, the creator.

Despite clearly liking it, I felt disgusted by the murder mystery game, and the two were intertwined, creating an extremely complex emotion.

"It seems you really like the game I made. I'm very happy." Kayaba Akihiko smiled when he heard Kirito say that, clearly pleased.

"Sorry, I just can't bring myself to like murder mystery games," Kirito said firmly. He wouldn't compromise his principles just because he liked them.

“Yes… I just want to create a real otherworld and fulfill my childhood dream…” Kayaba Akihiko said with deep emotion, filled with an unprecedented complex feeling, and even with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
