[Sword Art Online] Qing Tong

[On October [-], [-], light rain turned to moderate rain in the afternoon]

Admittedly, I was disappointed.

But this is Kirito, the person who bears the fate of all other people on his body, constantly blaming himself and crying in his heart, this is how he grew up.

Four months of happy and comfortable life of killing monsters and upgrading, it is impossible to really cover up his contradictory mood.

Even if he confessed to me countless nights the endless troubles in his heart and the longing and silent passing of the girl named Xing, he still couldn't get rid of the depression in his heart.

So, when Kirito stood in front of me with a melancholy face on that slightly rainy afternoon, I became enlightened.

"Early morning...Actually...these days are very pleasant." He looked at me lowly, his exquisite eyebrows and eyes were very blurred under the gloomy weather, "but..."

I opened my mouth, as if something was blocked in my throat.

Then a line of whispered words slipped past my ears.

"I want to find the resurrection props, no, even if it's just to be able to see clearly"

There was a deep silence, and I looked at the couple walking in the rain hand in hand on the corner of the street with a flat expression, and my irritability hit me like this, and I was firmly suppressed in my heart.

Turning his head slowly, he looked at his resolute expression.

"So, you want to... I mean... do you have any direction?"

"This..." He scratched his messy short hair reflexively, and smiled a little ashamedly, "I don't have any specific ideas about this... But, resurrection or something, in this world composed of countless data after all It shouldn’t be impossible, right? Heathcliff is a smart person, a smart person who knows how to use people’s desires, so there must be a way to revive him!”

"If not..." My weak voice seemed to be inaudible even to myself.

"If not... then I will defeat him, and then search the database, I will definitely find it!" At this time, Kirito seems to be impossible for anyone to defeat, and his thinking has become extremely clear. With the existence of sex, the whole person becomes radiant.

"So, how to start?"

"I'll probably go to a reliable intelligence merchant first, they always have more paths than us..."

"Does Kirito want to go by himself?" I tilted my head and interrupted his words.

"Ah... After all, it's a very boring thing... Besides, this thing itself is what I want to do, and I don't know where to find the props that can be resurrected. There's no need to let me go early in the morning..."

"Is that so..." I interrupted his seemingly self-consoling statement, the line of defense collapsed, and the dissatisfaction accumulated in my heart that had long been about to burst out instantly occupied my irrational brain.

"Pa—" I threw the purple floral umbrella that I carefully selected while shopping a few days ago on the ground, and I became agitated with helplessness and annoyance.

The rain instantly drenched my long hair and stuck to my eyelashes, so the whole world became blurred.

I saw him reaching out to grab me.

"Sorry, early in the morning, I..."

Turning around slightly, he flashed an expression that seemed to be yearning for something.

"I'm not feeling well, let's go first."

There was a slight sigh from the large and small puddles under my feet, and I left without Kirito stopping me.

"It's like this again...is it..."

【October [-], [-] from sunny to cloudy at night】The night is very dark.Wind, very cool.

However, the moon is just when it is bright.

It's October anyway, what would it be like in the real world?

In front of my eyes, my father's face is always stern, and my mother's expression is always smiling gently. It's a warm, sweet home... I really want to go back...

However, what I need to do now is not so beautiful.

In front of you is a huge black hole, basically every town with a floor conversion crystal will have one, and this is the entrance to the 32nd floor that I know, the legendary city of intelligence, where intelligence merchants meet regularly place.

Of course, what I said is only what I learned during the closed beta period. Whether such rules still exist after the public beta test, I can't be sure before entering this black entrance.

A gust of cold wind blows, bringing out a little peculiar smell, I also frowned slightly, I remember that it was not set up like this during the closed beta...

He tightened the cloak on his body and stepped in.

The surrounding stone walls have gradually lost more artificial carvings, and more and more of the original rock features have been shown. In the end, it seems that it is completely a natural grotto.

It's not too deep, it just gets narrower towards the back, until...

Suddenly, I entered a huge lava cave and finally arrived at my destination.

Looking around, the unpopular cave is filled with countless large and small lava stalagmites. It seems that there are countless potential threats, and it is ready to strike the intruders at any time.

Although there should be such a setting in the first place, if I can't give the proper code words, probably all I can do is run out desperately.

"Aboor's sword hangs high in the sky."

It was still silent, I calmed down the anxiety in my heart, and stood there straight, and then I heard——

"Squeak-"

With a secret exhalation, luckily I answered the code word correctly, and I finally re-entered this world.

The world of intelligence merchants.

"Is Poky there?" I asked in a deep voice into the darkness.

No one replied to me, I was a little confused, logically said the code word corresponding to each left behind, I should be able to exchange information with the other party, and get the information I want, why didn't you respond to me?

Could it be that the public beta really changed the rules?

My heart became vigilant again, and my right hand slowly touched the saber on the left...

"Sister Lilith?"

"Eh?!"

————&—————

"So, now not every floor has left-behinds... That's right, during the beta test, we only reached the 8th floor, and now the front line has reached the 43rd floor, so it is inevitable and impossible to have left-behinds on every floor. Arrange manpower..." Holding a cup of coffee, I sighed, as if I had returned to the days of beta testing.

"Hmm..." The master in front of him nodded.

"However... I always thought that Poki was a child, but who knew that he was an uncle on his way to decadence!"

"Puff cough cough cough!!! Hey hey hey, you can't be so merciless!!"

"Isn't it? Who called me sister Lilith just now~~~"

The person in front of him is about 27 years old, with unkempt black hair and unshaven beard on his face. The cute look that the standard Zhengtai only has yet to wake up is placed on this guy's face No matter how you look at it, it's not flat.

"Cough cough, stop gossip and get to the point!" Poki corrected his expression, looking at the early morning in front of him, "Didn't it mean that Lilith has quit the intelligence business world, why are you back again?"

"That's right..." I slowly stirred my coffee, "I'm no longer here... However, I really want to get some information this time."

"A customer..." Bo Keith asked.

"No, as an old friend." I shook my head, and then said regardless of the surprised expression on his face, "40 comes with a promise of permanent exchange. I want all the content related to SAO and resurrection information for a long time."

"This is really..." Poky froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Lilith's style..."

"Hehe, if I bump into someone else, I will give you 20 at most, and the one you get is probably some gossip, but since it's Poki... I know your ability better than anyone else, so don't hide it anymore. oh~”

"Ahahahaha... This is a matter of course, hahaha..."

————&—————

In the middle of the night, I walked out of the black cave where I had been staying for half the night. I looked at the moonless sky and walked quickly to the road back to the safe zone.

"A Christmas limited item..."

[Sunny afternoon on October [-], [-]] "Don't laugh!"

"Ahahahaha~~"

"Do not laugh!!"

"Ahahahahahahahaha~"

"..."

I was hanging upside down from a tree by the roadside, looking angrily at the imageless guy who was laughing aside.

I really don't understand how there are such wicked people in the world, who let the paralyzed people hang on the tree like this, but they are laughing at the side? !

Alas, I deserve to be saved by such a guy.

"Well, I'm your savior anyway, don't look at me with such intense diffraction~" The young man with blue long hair and obviously dressed as a rapier stepped forward and took off the gloves on his hands , and then reached out—

He patted the dust off the stone next to him, and sat down! ! !

"Allah, the paralysis effect will pass soon, and there is no need to use any antidote. Don't worry, I will be here to watch over you and bring you back to life~"

"...Are you poor?" I looked at this lazy guy resignedly.

"How could it be, I'm the well-known diamond king on "SAO Gossip Weekly"~~~How can I be poor~~Girl, have you taken a fancy to me too, alas, it's a pity that I already have love in my heart, What's more, I don't have much interest in seeing you as a flat douding~~~"

"The last sentence is what you really want to express..." Qingchen looked at his exaggerated expression speechlessly, and complained unceremoniously.

After another minute, I finally regained my senses in my hands and feet in the early morning, and I got my bones alive before I got myself down from the tree.

"This bunch of scum... better not let me know who they are..." I muttered in my mouth, straightening my clothes.

"I know~" the low-pitched voice sounded again.

I cast a sideways glance, "Would you say it?"

"Of course~~~" He blinked ripplingly, "But! Shouldn't you talk about the reward for saving you first~"

I was suddenly out of breath.

"Did you approve of my coming?!"

"Bingo! You got the answer right! I did find the right person to come!"

Eh? !I looked at the other party's suddenly serious face in surprise, thinking silently when I provoked such a person.

"Qingchen-san, I want you to make a promise~"

"No." I really refused.

"Then please give me back your life early in the morning." The blue-haired young man spread his hands unceremoniously.

"You!" I glared, "I can solve those people myself!"

"Ahahaha, a paralyzed tiger is not as good as a pig~~" The young man quickly reached out and patted my head before I could react, and then flew away, "The person chasing you is a member of the medium-sized guild Titan~ Xiao Qingchen should pay more attention to the black and white top ten task rankings~"

I angrily kicked the stone next to me, pressed [OK] hard on the friend invitation interface, and then began to think about what the other party said.

Black and white top ten mission rankings... huh...
