Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"Zero? What's wrong with you?" The voice was full of worry and anxiety.

Lin Mu didn't respond, he covered his forehead, and kept recalling the scene in his dream just now in his mind.

The more he recalled, the more difficult it was for him to breathe...

Then, suddenly, he felt his head being hugged, and the soft touch instantly pulled him out of the suffocation.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then a hoarse voice came out of his throat - "Um..."

Then, a gentle and distressed voice sounded: "It must be a terrible nightmare to make Lingdu look like this..."

"…Um……"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here... No matter what happens, I will face it with you..."

"..."

Lin Mu was silent for a while, and after a while, he raised his hand and embraced Asuna's body, then threw her down on the bed and hugged her tightly.

……

……

The next morning, Lin Mu was woken up by a scream——

"Zero...! Wake up! Here..."

Such a voice forcibly dragged Lin Shu out of his sleep.

He opened his sleepy eyes, although he was a little dissatisfied, but when he thought of the owner of the voice, the dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, and only helplessness remained.

Get up, equip a set of home clothes through the window, and Lin Mu gets up and gets out of bed.

The first time I came to the source of the sound - the gate of the wooden house.

Then, Lin Mu was startled——

"Ah...what's the situation...?" Lin Mu asked blankly looking at the scene in front of him.

Before her eyes, Asuna was kneeling on the ground, holding a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old in her arms.

It was a very beautiful girl.Rather than being a human child, the aura she exudes is closer to that of a fairy.The color of the skin is a delicate pure white close to alabaster, the long black hair shines gorgeously, and the clear outline with an exotic flavor...

But... still this but...

"Who is this little girl?" That's right, this is Lin Mu...or the question that anyone standing in Lin Mu's position would want to know immediately...

So, Asuna turned her head to look at Lin Mu, her face full of pleading for help: "I... I don't know... After getting up in the morning, as soon as I opened the door, I saw this girl fainted in front of the door..."

"...fainted...?" Lin Mu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Yeah... Although this world doesn't breathe, and the heart doesn't beat..."

In SAO, almost all reproductions of human physiological activities are omitted.Although you can inhale air spontaneously and feel the air flowing in the trachea, this virtual body does not have unconscious breathing behavior, and the beating of the heart does not. Feel the heartbeat of others.

——"But since it hasn't disappeared...that means it's still alive..." Asuna said so.

And Lin Mu stared at the little girl in Asuna's arms, and then frowned even more puzzled—"But...why doesn't she have a haircut icon..."

As long as it was a dynamic object that existed in Aincrad, whether it was a player, a monster, or even an NPC, the colored arrows that would always appear the moment they were targeted did not appear.This phenomenon has never been encountered so far.

and so……

"Is it a bug?" Asuna asked suspiciously.

"Perhaps. In a normal online game, this would definitely be a situation where a GM needs to be called. But there is no GM in SAO...Moreover, not only is there no arrow, she is too young for a player."

After all, NERvGea

In principle, the equipment has age restrictions, and children under the age of 13 are prohibited from using it.

And this young girl looks only seven or eight years old...

Asuna gently reached out her hand and touched the girl's forehead.A cold but smooth touch came over. "Why... such a small child in SAO..."

"..." Lin Mu is not a god who knows everything in the world, so he can't answer Asuna's question.

"I can't put her here. She should be able to know something when she wakes up. Before that, let her live in our house...is that okay?" Asuna looked at Lin Mu with pleading eyes.

"...As usual, it seems that we can only do this first." Lin Mu nodded.

……

Asuna carried the little girl back to the house, then went straight up to the second floor, and put the girl on the big bed in the bedroom.

"The only thing that is certain now is that since she can be moved to our house, then she is not an NPC." Lin Mu, who was leaning against the window, looked at the girl on the bed, frowning and whispering.

"Hmm..." Asuna nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Mu's statement.

Because in SAO, NPCs controlled by the system have existence coordinates fixed within a certain range, and cannot be moved arbitrarily by the player.If you touch or hug an NPC with your hands, a harassment warning window will pop up within seconds, and you will be sent flying with an unpleasant shock.

"So... she should be the player who got lost here..." Lin Mu made such a guess, although he thought it might not be that simple.

"When she wakes up...everything will be known." Asuna looked at Lin Shu.

"Well...then wait for her to wake up and ask again." Lin Mu nodded.

Then--

One morning passed, until lunch was finished, and until the afternoon of late autumn passed slowly, even when the red sunlight from the outside had completely disappeared, the girl was still asleep.

The second night of moving to the 25th floor came, but the mood of Lin Mu and Asuna, compared to last night, it is really different, the mood of both of them yesterday was extremely comfortable and happy .

But today, because of the unconscious little girl lying on the bed, her mood was somewhat depressed. Even Lin Shu felt a little worried about the little girl——

late at night.

On a large bed, Lin Shu was lying on the far left side near the window, Asuna was in the middle, and the little girl, who was still in a coma until now, was on the far right.

Asuna turned over to face the girl's bed on the other side.

The black-haired girl continued to sleep in the light blue darkness.Although I still don't want to think about the girl's past until now, but looking at her like this, my thoughts will always drift in that direction.

It would have been fine if the girl had lived with her parents or siblings, but if she had come to this world alone, she would have spent the past two years in fear and loneliness—

This kind of life must be unbearable for children who are only eight or nine years old.If it was him, he might have gone crazy long ago.
