i became a shadow

Chapter 44 fruitless
Even if Duo knows that this is just a waste of effort, but the job of saving face is still in place. After all, it is impossible to tell them, don't look for it, it is absolutely impossible to find Yui's relatives, no matter how hard you look...

If this is the case, Duo can guarantee that he will be beaten to death by Asuna, the nominal mother, in the next second!

and so……

"Still no news?"

Klein stood on the road with people coming and going, and when he heard Duo's inquiry, he couldn't help shaking his head, and then spoke.

"No useful news at all."

Time is always fleeting, and Christmas Eve passed quickly with everyone's laughter and laughter, and everyone came to the town of beginning early with the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

That's right, it is the first floor of Aincrad, the place where everything originated, and Duo's current location is on the square where Akihiko Kayaba announced the death game.

After saying this, Klein raised his head and looked around. He couldn't help but sigh at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings.

"The change is really big..."

Isn't that right? In more than a year, there are too many things that can be changed. How many players are left standing with them on this land?
Duo didn't speak, and quietly listened to the noise of the crowd, which made him a little pensive.

It wasn't until a certain moment that a voice suddenly sounded, pulling him back to reality.

"President, I have already posted the notice, so I don't know if someone will contact you?"

Lante came to the two of them carelessly, and said to Duo.

"Well, you've worked hard." Duo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"No hard work, no hard work, it's my honor to work for the president!"

Lant spoke without hesitation, and at the same time couldn't help but carefully looked at the other party, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, he also sighed.

Originally, I always thought that I liked girls, but later I realized that I just simply like beautiful ones...

"Why do you feel a little strange today?"

Duo couldn't help frowning, and looked at Lante with doubts.

"No...it's nothing, by the way, President, Kirito hasn't come back yet?"

Lante smiled awkwardly and began to change the subject.

Because of the need to save time, several people searched separately, and the meeting place was this square.

"No, this morning, I saw him looking listless, probably thinking about life?"

Duo's tone was full of playfulness, after all, he did well when he promised others.

"This is really enviable..."

Klein's eyes were full of envy. According to his age, he was already a leftover man.

"I am back."

Suddenly, when everyone was talking, a weak and breathless voice came to their ears, and everyone turned to look sideways.

I saw a man with a haggard complexion, lack of energy, and yawning again and again, walking slowly, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

This listless man is none other than Kirito, and next to him is a girl with a flushed face and extremely high energy, Lisbeth.

Seeing Kirito who was about to fall while walking, Klein hurried to his side with sympathy in his eyes.

"So cruel?"

Duo swallowed, and took a step back without leaving a trace.

"That Kirito, how long did you toss about last night?" Lante also twitched his eyelids and said.

"It's not that Liz slept dishonestly, and kicked me out of bed at every turn. You can imagine that I did this more than a dozen times in one night... She slept well, and I..."

Wiping the tears shed from yawning, Kirito's tone was full of complaints, which made Lisbeth stick out her tongue in embarrassment.

"I didn't expect that I have such a bad habit, I'm sorry, Kirito-kun!"

"It turned out to be like this."

Duo smiled in embarrassment, what's wrong with him, why would he think of that aspect, obviously he was very pure at the beginning.

"However, after searching for a long time, I haven't found any valuable news."

Tongren's tone was a bit heavy, it was really strange that no one knew such a living person.

"My side is also..." Lisbeth continued.

"Then only Asuna is left now, I don't know if she has any clues."

Kirito looked around and said.

"Yui, wait for mom."

A helpless female voice rang out in an instant, and it was Asuna who knew it without looking.

A snow-white dress came into view, and Yui continued to face backwards, making a silver bell of laughter, and her black bangs also fluctuated upwards with the wind.

"father!"

Suddenly, after the little guy saw Duo, his eyes lit up instantly, and he threw himself into the other's arms without hesitation, smiling happily.

"Really, Yui, you are too naughty."

Asuna said angrily, God knows how many streets they ran.

"whee……"

"That's because Yui, I like playing with you very much."

Gently hugged Yui, the bright sun shone on Duo's delicate and fair face, coupled with Yui's innocent smile that day, they looked like a pair of kind sisters.

Seeing this scene, Asuna suddenly laughed, and the rest of the people were not much better.

"baffling……"

Hearing everyone's voices, Duo was a little confused.

"It seems that Asuna, you haven't been able to find any news, have you?"

Nodding her head, Asuna's tone was a bit serious.

"Don't talk about the news, there is no one who knows Yui."

"Sure enough..." Kirito rubbed his chin and thought about it seriously. There is no player logo or monster logo. This matter must not be as simple as a bug.

"Okay, since we can't find it, let's not look for it. Our main task is to break through all the floors. You must know that a child as young as Yui has a very fragile body..."

Duo's words were like a wake-up call, ringing in everyone's hearts.

"That's right, the top priority is to find a way to defeat the BOSS. I just received a notice from the president, saying that just this morning, Floor No. 70 was taken down."

Asuna's face was full of hope, because it meant that they were getting closer to liberation.

And at this moment, Duo suddenly thought of something, and suddenly spoke to Lisbeth.

"Lisbeth, can I ask you one thing, that is to help me build a weapon, the materials are ready."

The sudden voice made her startled, but she quickly reacted and asked in doubt.

"Yes, yes, but don't you have a [Hunter]?"

Hearing this, Duo smiled slightly, as if he was in a very happy mood, opened the system interface, saw that there was an extra skill on it, and said.

"Because, I have another hole card."
