Is this okay?

No, I'm sure no one is following me, so why are you so sure?

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. Everything she wanted to say had already been said by the other person, leaving her speechless.

Unexpectedly, Leng Mo spoke up again at this moment.

"Why are you not saying anything? Is it because I guessed everything right and you're still shocked that I said all of your things?"

"..."

I don't know how you found out, but you definitely did it on purpose!

Argo was very excited when he heard Leng Mo's words and wanted to rush up to find out what was going on, but when he thought that he would be killed instantly by a giant lobster's saliva if he showed himself, he decided against it.

But it doesn't matter!

As long as I can give players hope, I don't care how much anger I suffer.

Besides, it's just being humiliated, who hasn't been?

"Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?" Leng Mo asked in a puzzled tone, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"You've already said everything, what else can I say?" Argo muttered in exasperation.

Aren't you curious why I know this?

"Does it matter? It doesn't matter! What matters is that I share everything and don't let the players get discouraged. This game can't be quit, but it doesn't have to die either. As long as we unite, we can break through it sooner or later."

Argo fully understands the current situation, and even knows that if the players unite, they can overtake everyone and then quit.

The biggest problem is that this lousy game causes incredibly, ridiculously high levels of psychological damage; it's extremely torturous.

"I didn't realize you had such awareness," Kayaba Akihiko said approvingly at this moment.

It seems that not all players are useless; at least some are capable of taking the lead.

"Isn't there no other way? In this situation, someone has to step up. Although I don't have much combat power, I can prepare some information to provide assistance. At least it's better than doing nothing."

Argo said with a hint of helplessness, not having high expectations for the current situation, since she herself had no combat ability, at least not in this game.

If we had a fighting force to cooperate with, things would be much easier.

The three people in front of me, Leng Mo and his companion, are clearly good partners and capable of leading the charge; at least their fighting strength is sufficient.

"A very good idea." Kayaba Akihiko couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"So what are you planning to do?" Leng Mo asked the crucial question.

"Didn't you just say it all?"

"So you suddenly infiltrated our group just to learn about poison mist? That won't work. We can't beat them with just poison mist. What about the boss? We can't just give up, can we?"

"There's nothing we can do right now, we can only try pushing through the levels... We'll deal with the boss issue later."

Argo was helpless in this situation, as it was not as simple as it seemed. A final battle with the boss was inevitable, and all he could hope for was that the players could unite at that time.

“If you want more combat power, I can help you,” Leng Mo said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? What do you mean? Do you have any information about powerful items?" Argo asked immediately with delight.

"Yes, there are. Old Man's Leg, Lion's Fire, Lion's Slash, these things are invincible, but I don't know how many there are. Just like after I got the Poison Mist, everyone else had to learn it from me. Maybe you can learn it infinitely from NPCs." Leng Mo thought about the situation. After all, this is not a game world, and once these items are gone, they're gone.

"So, if someone gets an item or skill and doesn't plan to share it, it becomes unavailable?"

"It's very possible."

"Wow! This game is outrageous! Are all the items unique? What was Kayaba Akihiko thinking making this kind of game? Was he using his ass?!"

Argo immediately launched into a tirade of insults, leaving Kayaba Akihiko, who was present, utterly speechless.

However, thinking that he would still be recognized later, he spoke directly:

"I feel I'm innocent about this... I didn't know my game would turn out like this."

"Huh? Who are you?"

"Kayaba Akihiko."

"What!!"

Argo was so angry when he learned about Kayaba Akihiko that he wanted to strangle him. He even raised his voice, which startled the giant lobster.

Da da da!

The giant lobsters around them got up, looked at the boxes next to them, and stood still.

"..."

"..."

Argo immediately realized he had messed up and felt he was doomed.

To everyone's surprise, the giant dragon seemed to be blind and didn't notice anything, and continued to be poisoned while lying to the side.

"Phew...that scared me to death." Argo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the giant lobster hadn't noticed him.

Then, he said fiercely to Kayaba Akihiko once again, "Kayaba Akihiko, why aren't you taking us back!"

"I'm helpless with what you're saying. I'm also trapped in this game. I've lost my administrator privileges, and I'm really upset about it."

"How is that possible? Isn't this the game you developed?"

"I did develop SAO, but this isn't SAO. It's an unfamiliar Elden Ring. If I really had administrator privileges, I wouldn't have died all this way."

When Kayaba Akihiko talked about this, he was filled with phantom pain, and his voice even became painful.

For some reason, Argo felt a sense of understanding upon hearing Kayaba Akihiko's voice; having confirmed the situation, he knew it was the same pain.

"So what can we do at this stage?" she asked Kayaba Akihiko.

"No," Kayaba Akihiko said, sounding distressed.

"Isn't there a rumor that you can quit the game once you've completed it?" Argo asked, puzzled.

"That's where I went for a walk. After all, players will get bored if they don't have any targets."

"So you don't know if you can log off after completing the game? You're just trying to stall for time?"

"That's the situation."

"Hiss—! This…"

Argo felt dizzy when he learned the truth. Did this mean that even if he finished the game, he might not be able to log off?

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Leng Mo suddenly said something.

"I'm going offline to pee, you guys chat first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Mo's box turned to dust and disappeared from the spot.

"..."

"..."

Argo and Kayaba Akihiko were dumbfounded when they saw this.

Huh? What? Offline?

"grass--!!"

"Can't this be logged off?!"

Kayaba Akihiko and Argo screamed in shock, while Masato was completely dumbfounded.

then……

There's no after that.

They were wiped out by five consecutive blows from the giant lobster stick next to them, leaving only Rodrika, who hadn't moved an inch.

"..."

You faded ones! Where are you all?!

I'm scared!!!

Rodrigo crouched on the box, trembling, but she didn't forget to replenish the poison mist on the giant lobster next to her, which had recovered from its poisoning state.

Chapter 319 Everyone's gone mad.

As soon as Leng Mo logged off, he rushed to Kirito's bathroom. Since everyone was busy, Suguha noticed but didn't disturb him.

Entering the restroom, Leng Mo looked relaxed, ready to release his pent-up energy. The happiest thing was playing games again after the last one.

"Hehehe, as soon as I log on, I'll be able to enjoy Argo and Kayaba Akihiko's shocked and incredulous expressions. It's just too exciting! Eeha!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Melina suddenly appeared behind Leng Mo and spoke with an embarrassed expression.

"The Faded Ones..."

“F---!”

boom--!

Leng Mo was startled and flew up, instantly unleashing a vortex of energy from his body. His black hair turned gold, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

What is the greatest fear in life?

That is, when you are in the toilet, someone suddenly appears behind you and calls your name, and it is a girl.

In an instant, a tremendous fear accompanied by a powerful rage—a rage as intense as terror.

At this moment, Leng Mo surpassed his limits, surpassed everything, and reached the point of comprehending miracles and magic, successfully transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Then, bursts of air erupted from the toilet, almost as if it were about to overturn the entire place. Surprisingly, under the brilliance of a Super Saiyan, Kirito's toilet remained completely undamaged, except for the door being slightly damaged.

As a result, Suguha in the living room discovered this situation. Although she didn't know what had happened, she felt very scared.

Terrified and panicked, he shouted:

"What happened! I'm scared!!"

Are all the toilet breaks in otherworldly places this exciting?!

"..."

"..."

In an instant, Leng Mo's face in the restroom turned as black as could be. His Super Saiyan state was unstoppable, as if it were an explosion without limits.

For some reason, faced with this awkward and embarrassing situation, Leng Mo clearly felt angry and resentful. The thought that he was the one leading a girl out of the restroom made him even angrier! And he couldn't even explain himself!

Suddenly, Leng Mo felt as if he was about to touch a Super Saiyan beyond Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2!

About two minutes later...

Leng Mo sat in the living room with a sullen expression, his hands under his nose, staring at the two people in front of him with a commander-like demeanor.

One is an innocent bystander, Kirigaya Suguha, and the other is an unsuspecting person from another world, Melina.

"Can you explain what's going on? Why did you suddenly appear behind me while I was in the bathroom...?"

Having calmed down and returned to normal, Leng Mo couldn't help but want to dig a three-story villa out of the ground with his toes whenever he thought about the embarrassing situation just now.

Meanwhile, Suguha stared at Leng Mo with a gossipy expression. Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that this guy had suddenly exploded in the bathroom and then came out with a girl, which was obviously suspicious!

Let's eat some melon seeds first!

Melina, however, seemed equally bewildered. She remained seated on the sofa with impeccable manners, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"The Faded One... what's going on?"

"Even if you ask me, I really want to know what's going on? Why did you come to this world? Weren't you in the game? I logged off and you're here now? It doesn't make sense!"

Leng Mo was also completely bewildered and couldn't understand what was going on at all. It was utterly unreasonable!

"Could you introduce who this lady is?" Suguha, who was standing next to him, finally understood what was going on. It was just that Leng Mo was playing a game and the character in the game had come out of the game, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Hello, my name is Melina, and I'm a partner of the Faded Ones." Melina introduced herself to Suguha with aristocratic manners.

"Hello, my name is Kirigaya Suguha." Suguha nodded and introduced herself with a smile.

Leng Mo thought about the current situation carefully, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Melina, you are a spirit, right?"

"That's right, I am a spirit."

"Then what method did you use to follow me? Did you lock onto my soul?"

"Yes... After all, the body of a Faded One disappears after death, so I can only follow the soul."
