The whole world knows that I crossed

Qiao Wen originally didn't intend to spoil the story.

There is no special reason, but there has been a considerable discrepancy between the actual situation and his known information. Apart from being able to determine the identity of Akihiko Kayaba, the mastermind behind the SAO incident, Qiao Wen knows nothing else Yes, once the wrong information is given, it will mislead the three major clans, delay the progress of the investigation, and possibly lead to more victims—so far, among the [-] SAO players caught in the game, there have been Thousands of people have been confirmed dead, and the number continues to rise.

Qiao Wen originally didn't want the uncertain information to disturb the thoughts of Munakata Reiji and others, but now it seems that the stagnation of the investigation is not a trouble?

As long as the matter remains unresolved, victims will continue to appear. Although Qiao Wen is not a holy father, he will not be stingy if he can contribute even an insignificant amount of strength to save the lives of those who cannot escape from the game.

However, even if there is another spoiler, Qiao Wen will not use the form of "precognitive dreams" this time.

After all, his knowledge is limited, so it's better not to be in a cocoon.

The person who almost succeeded in cheating himself looked calm, silently waiting for the answers from the decision makers on the opposite side.

Munakata Reisi and the Mr. "Rabbit" who had just spoken in Hishiin glanced at each other. On the other side, the Red King Zhou Fangzun raised his eyebrows and didn't make a sound. He seemed to be flirting with the two allies over there ( ?) The course of the discussion and the conclusions to be drawn do not care at all.

"I don't know what kind of divination Qiao Jun plans to use this time?"

After some eye contact, Reiji Munakata, as a representative, asked Qiao Wen their questions.

Qiao Wen had nothing to hide, and took out the Clow card directly from his pocket:

"Simple. Since we just want to find out the real mastermind among the eight suspects, we only need to use the most basic divination techniques."

"—Card divination, everyone should have heard of it more or less, right?"

"...Like a Tarot card?" Munakata Reiji looked at the half-opened card with an unfamiliar pattern in Qiao Wen's hand, and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone.

Qiao Wen nodded, "Similar, but not exactly the same."

As he spoke, he directly drew one of the many Clow cards, held it up between his fingers——

"Divination using tarot cards relies more on reading the information on the card surface, and making a relatively general prediction about the content of the divination. Although I can use this set of cards, I can achieve similar results..."

"However," Qiao Wen smiled, shaking the Clow card that he deliberately drew out in his hand: "I think the general answer probably won't satisfy Mr. Munakata and everyone present?"

Seeing that Munakata Reisi didn't respond, but just showed a very gentle smile, Qiao Wen curled his lips, completely disinterested in continuing to circle around with this fine room chief.

"So, for this special situation at this moment, I am going to use another divination method."

With a nimble flip of his fingers, he turned over the Clow card held between his fingers, and the contents of the card went straight to Reiji Munakata——

"The name of this card is 'Strike'."

"In my card divination system, it means 'lock target'."

As Qiao Wen spoke, he took two steps forward and motioned for Reiji Munakata to extend his hand.

Mr. Room Chief trusted him quite a bit. He neither asked the reason nor hesitated. Almost at the same time as Qiao Wen walked in front of him, he already stretched out his palm in front of Qiao Wen with his palm up.

Qiao Wen gave the Green King, who might be regarded as his bad friend(?), a look of approval, and then gently put the hit card into the opponent's open palm.

"Mr. Munakata."

His voice was a little lower than usual, with a strange mysterious and ethereal quality.

"Concentrate on the target you're 'chasing'—"

"The guy who used some unknown method to trap innocent players in the game world, and even killed some people... the guy who did that, the man behind the scenes..."

"Who the hell... is he?"

Accompanied by Qiao Wen's deep and hoarse voice, Munakata Reiji lowered his eyes, not only looked at the card in his palm that seemed nothing special, but also concentrated on thinking according to the content of Qiao Wen's words, that damned card Behind the scenes... Who is he?

Slowly, a ray of light began to emerge from the card in his hand.

The dots of light gradually dyed the entire card.

At a certain moment, all the cards covered by light suddenly disappeared from Munakata Reishi's palm!

At the same time, a ray of light that was too fast to be seen by the naked eye quickly crossed the air, and shot directly at the desk not far away, and the projection screen floating there——

With a sound of "Hoo!", a sharp piercing sound sounded in the air belatedly, and at this time, a round hole the size of an adult's fist was pierced through the projection screen!

Where the hole is...

"——It's Kayaba Akihiko!" Fushimi quickly checked the information in his hand, and announced the answer immediately, "Quantum physicist, but also a genius game designer, he is the designer of the SAO game, and also provides the NERvGear equipment The basic design plan...is the object of our most serious suspicion among all the suspects..."

So, is it really him who is behind the scenes?The designer of the game himself?

Fushimi did not question the result of Qiao Wen's seemingly cool "divination" this time, but simply raised his own doubts:

"If this person really did it, what is his appeal?"

In other words, what is the picture?

You must know that in contemporary society, quantum physicists are quite respected. After all, quantum mechanics is not only one of the basic theories of modern physics, but also the source of inspiration for many film and television works. Many ordinary people may not know quantum mechanics at all. I have a clear understanding, but when I heard that XX is a quantum physicist, the first reaction is definitely to shout "Si Guoyi!" As far as Akihiko Kayaba's achievements are concerned, he can be regarded as quite successful among quantum physicists, and he is also a genius game designer. This status is enough for him to do it no matter where he goes. If he just wants to trap the players in the game world, experience the thrill of killing and seizing other people's lives and completely controlling other people's lives...

That's really unnecessary.

After all, in reality, he can do similar things with his own status, but he can't attack so many people at the same time.

"Maybe this person is a natural high-functioning anti-social personality?" Scepter4 Deputy Director Seri Awashima guessed, "Just like to kill others, dominate others, and fully enjoy the struggle, despair and fear of others?"

"...Wow! Don't say such terrible things, Xiao Shili!" Barbara No. 2 Kusanagi Izumo protested, while bending over to cover the corner of Zhou Fangzun's clothes, the little silver-haired loli standing beside him ears, "We still have minors here!"

"...If you really care about the physical and mental health of minors so much, don't bring them to such an occasion!" Seri Awashima couldn't help but groaned, raising his hand to pinch the aching eyebrows, "But I I also have the same questions as Fushimi, not questioning the results of divination, just..."

However, although Akihiko Kayaba was suspected of being the double designer of the SAO game and NERvGear equipment, at the same time, he was also the one they thought was the least likely to be behind the scenes.

To give a reason...

"Compared to some entrepreneur or mad scientist, he is too harmless."

Fushimi calmly analyzed.

"Moreover, I once heard from someone that many game designers in our country regard games as their most important and cherished children to 'grow up'."

Having said that, Fushimi glanced at this "someone" indistinctly, with a smile that was so subtle that it was almost invisible.

"I will use the SAO game that I designed, which is known as the world's first virtual reality game, to turn this game from everyone's expectation and praise, into a 'killing game' that is going viral on the Internet today..."

It's hard to imagine why Kayaba Akihiko, as a game designer, would do such a frenzied thing without hesitation.

"Those don't matter."

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Fangzun, the Scarlet King who thought he would not give any opinions until the end of this meeting, actually spoke at this time.

The red-haired kingly man met everyone's surprised or puzzled eyes, still looking lazy and sleepy, as if he couldn't wake up no matter what.

"What is his reason, why did he do such a thing, what purpose did he want to achieve... It doesn't matter."

Chi Wang said calmly.

"As long as you know that this guy is behind the scenes, isn't that enough?"

As for those motives, purposes, and so on, are they related to people like them...?

The dreamer was awakened by the words of the Red King, and everyone woke up one after another——

Yup!

Why did Kayaba Akihiko do such a thing, and what does it have to do with them?

What needs to be paid attention to now is not Akihiko Kayaba's mental journey, but what to do next after confirming that he is the real mastermind behind the scenes?

"As Mr. Natori reminded before, although Kayaba Akihiko may not have monster means to protect him, the unknown monster who cooperates with him must always monitor all suspicious people who try to approach him through a nearby web camera. There is no doubt about it.”

The King of Blue spoke in a deep voice.

"If you want to capture Kayaba Akihiko without arousing the other party's suspicion and causing damage to the people trapped in the game..."

The blue-haired king groaned for a while, then turned his gaze to Qiao Wen again:

"Qiao Jun, do you have any suggestions?"

Qiao Wen: ......... Heh.

I think you want to embarrass me, Fat Tiger!

"Not recommended."

Qiao Wen replied that he was very bachelor, but before Munakata Reiji had time to respond, he hesitated and spoke again:

"But there is a way."

"I just don't know if His Majesty King Qing is willing to believe me."
