Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

Eugeo, who violated the Taboo Index and chopped Humbert Gijek with the Blue Rose Sword, and then witnessed Laos Antinos's mental collapse and death, must have received an indescribable shock.

After a while of silence, Eugeo replied in a softer voice: "I always feel... everything is like a dream... whether I draw the sword on Humbert... or Laos becomes like that. "

"...Don't be too trifling. Now just think about what to do next." Kirito said these words to Eugeo who fell silent.

In fact, I wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but Kirito, who was bound by iron chains, couldn't reach his bed at all.

While Kirito was staring desperately at the silhouette of Eugeo——

Eugeo said in a weak voice, "I'm fine."

Kirito sighed silently.

It was not Eugeo who cut off both arms of Laos Antinos, but himself.

As long as he dealt with it immediately, his injury should not be fatal, but he must have fallen into a strange thinking circle in order to deal with his destiny and the priority of the taboo list, and as a result, the fluctlight collapsed like this.

Although there will still be a sense of guilt that directly caused a person in the underground world to lose his life.

But two years ago, Kirito killed two goblins in the northern cave of Rulid Village in order to save Selka, an apprentice nun. No, it should be said that he killed two people.

Since Laos and those goblins are artificial fluctlights, if I feel guilty here, I feel sorry for the goblin captain who is much stronger than Laos. .

It's just—even so, Kirito still has something he can't accept.

According to Kirito's speculation, the enterprise RATH that operates the underground world, or Kikuoka Seijiro's purpose should be to create complete artificial intelligence.

The artificial fluctlights living in this world already have the same level of emotion and intelligence as humans in the real world.

If the only flaw of these people is "absolute blind obedience to the law", then Eugeo, who pulled out the blue rose sword and cut Humbert in order to save Tiezhe and Ronye, ​​has now surpassed this barrier.

In other words, it passed the last difficulty and evolved into a real artificial intelligence.

But even now that internal time has passed 35 hours, the world shows no signs of stopping.

Could it be that the acceleration rate is too high, and the staff of RATH haven't checked this situation yet, or some serious accident happened beyond imagination... Kirito doesn't understand.

"What's next..." Eugeo next to him suddenly murmured, so Kirito put aside the doubts in his heart, and turned his gaze back to the ceiling unknowingly.

The eyes that are used to the darkness first nodded when they saw Eugeo, and then said: "Kirito is right. I have to find a way to get out of this prison, and then confirm what happened to Alice..."

While feeling relieved for Eugeo who seemed to be recovering from the shock gradually, Kirito also began to think about the great significance of what he said just now.

Eugeo said without hesitation, "I have to find a way to get out of this prison".This also means that for him, this prison that should symbolize the authority of the Axiom Church—that is, a place that should not be left without the permission of the gods—is no longer comparable to Alice.

After what happened the day before yesterday, Eugeo's mental structure has really changed a lot.

But now there is no time to delve into this matter.

Because after the sun comes out, a judge or executioner may come to take them away at any time.

As Eugeo said, he should wait until he escapes here before thinking about other things.

"Hmm. There must be... there is a way to leave." ——If this is the [closed confinement event] in the game.

After adding a meaningless line in his heart, Kirito touched the iron chain that bound him again.

One end of this cold and desperately hard steel is welded to the iron ring of the same material on the right wrist, and the other end is connected to the ring buried in the wall.

Kirito had already confirmed that the handcuffs, the rings on the wall, and the chains themselves were not objects that could be destroyed by pulling them hard.

Yesterday morning, Kirito and Eugeo finally achieved the ultimate goal after starting the journey from the northern end, which is to cross the wall of the Axiom Church's Central Cathedral.

It's just that the whole body is tied up and hung on the feet of the flying dragon.

At that time, there was no time to watch the giant white tower piercing the clouds, so I was taken to the back of the giant tower and walked down the long spiral staircase. After finally reaching the prison, I was handed over to the rather terrifying jailer.

The integrity knight who claimed to be Alice Synthesis Sati left without looking back after finishing work, and the burly jailer immediately tied Kirito and Eugeo to the chains in the prison.

During this time, only leather bags containing hard bread and warm water were thrown in from outside the railing in the evening for them to eat.

Compared with here, criminal players locked up in the Black Iron Palace in Aincrad are treated no differently from the presidential suite of a high-end hotel.

Last night, Kirito tried pulling, biting, and even using sacred magic to cut the iron chain, but all failed as expected.

If you have Eugeo's Blue Rose Sword or Kirito's black guy by your side, you can cut this kind of iron chain with one blow, but Ronye and the others got their hands full of wounds or the two who brought them here for them Jian has long since disappeared with Alice.

Although the bento that Ronnie gave to them was not confiscated, it had already disappeared in their stomachs.All in all, although Kirito said "there must be some way", but at this stage it can be said that he is almost helpless.

Although deep in my heart I was still praying that Zero would come and save them.

"...Eight years ago...Alice was tied up here too..." Eugeo said weakly while sitting on the bed covered with some rags on the iron frame.

"Hmm...it's hard to say." Although it wasn't an answer, Kirito could only answer like this.

If Eugeo's childhood sweetheart and Selka's older sister, Alice Ziberuku, was treated the same as us, it would mean that at the age of 11 she was handed over to the iron-masked jailer alone and tied up in the in this room.

She didn't have to think about it, she must have felt quite frightened.

She was taken to the interrogation stand shortly afterward, and sentenced to some sort of punishment—but then...?

"Eugeo, just to be on the safe side, I'd like to confirm with you... Is that integrity knight named Alice Synthesis Sati really the Alice you're looking for?"

After asking hesitantly, it took a few seconds before Eugeo's distressed voice came out: "It is impossible for me to forget that voice...that blond hair and blue eyes. That is Alice is right. It's just...it feels completely different..."

"If it was a childhood sweetheart, she was really ruthless when she hit you. That means... her memory or thinking was controlled by some means..."

"But there is no such sacred art in the textbook?"

"Isn't the priest of the church able to manipulate the destiny? It's not surprising that it can affect memory."

The reason why Kirito thinks this way is because the 【Soul T

a

slato

】It is the machine that can do this kind of thing.

Since even the memory of the human brain can be manipulated, it's just that artificial fluctlights stored in a certain medium should be able to change their memories more easily and deeply.

Kirito continued as he thought: "But... if that knight is Alice herself, then what was [that] in the northern cave of Rulid Village two years ago..."

"Ah... I remember you mentioned it to me. When I was about to treat my injury with Selka, I heard a voice that sounded like Alice..."

Although he didn't tell Eugeo the details, but in order to save him who was seriously injured in the battle with the goblins, Kirito used Selka's power to distribute his destiny to him.

But that's a very dangerous behavior, and my life is also decreasing at an unexpected speed. Just when I thought I couldn't hold on anymore——I suddenly heard...
