1596th "I've Grown Up."
This is a very ordinary world.
A very ordinary world in the true sense.
Here, there are neither monsters that threaten the survival of human beings, nor wizards who can protect human beings, and there are just ordinary and prosperous cities.
There are lively crowds in the city.
There are cars coming and going on the street.
People live ordinary lives.
People grow up normally.
People go through the ups and downs and ups and downs of ordinary life.
A modern world with no mystery, no magic, only reality.
That's what this world is all about.
It's just that if you say it's extraordinary, then it's also extraordinary.
Because, just two years ago, an amazing incident happened.
Fully stealthy virtual reality technology game machine————
Virtual reality large-scale online role-playing game --- "Sword Art Online (Sword Art Online)".
These two existences have imprisoned tens of thousands of game players in the virtual game world, and let them launch raids there at the cost of their lives.
Akihiko Kayaba, the famous quantum physicist and genius game designer who realized these two technologies, became the most ferocious criminal in history, causing a sensation in the whole country and even the whole world.
After two years, until now, this incident is still widely discussed, and even the TV news often reports on this incident.
like now...
"After two years, the large-scale online role-playing game "SAO" for short was finally successfully hacked, and the victims who were lying in the hospital on life support were finally able to wake up and their safety was ensured. "
"According to statistics, 7,354 of the 10,000 players who sneaked into the game are still alive today, and the remaining 2,646 people have died in the past two years.
Due to losing his life in the game, his brain was destroyed by
"This is the largest killing in the history of our country."
"As for the murderer Kayaba Akihiko, government agencies are still searching and arresting him."
"So, this incident is still unresolved."
On a street full of high-rise buildings, such a report is being carried out on the TV wall mounted on the front of a building.
People have long been familiar with this, as if similar reports have been carried out countless times, they are walking in the cold winter and rushing on their way.
Among the crowd, only one person stopped.
It was a girl.
One has shoulder-length hair, black and shiny, a pair of big and aggressive eyes slightly raised, looking at the TV wall, wearing the uniform of a certain school, with a proud figure And girls with curves.
The girl looked at the report on the TV wall, and she lowered her eyes after a while.
Because girls are one of the most qualified to comment on reports.
"The incident is still unresolved..."
This is not a matter of course, is it?
Not to mention that Akihiko Kayaba, who is the culprit, has not been found yet, but the victims have not all been rescued yet.
"There are 7,354 survivors?"
This is simply deceiving.
Indeed, just two months ago, the death game known as "SAO" was conquered.
The imprisoned players woke up one after another, making the hospitals that housed the players lively, welcoming the visits of countless family members and government officials, and reuniting the victims with their families , weeping with joy.
Even the girl's family members woke up two months ago, and finally returned home after two years.
However, the incident is still having an impact.
Probably because, after the game was conquered, there were only 7,053 players who woke up.
Then, for some reason, 300 people have not woken up to this day, and one person disappeared for no reason, and has not been found yet.
The police once visited that person's ward, and even high-level officials from the country came to visit, trying to find some clues.
It's a pity that in the end, people didn't find anything. They didn't know whether the man had woken up or was taken away. He was completely missing.
This person is another family member of the girl.
"Brother Qinghe..."
The girl whispered the names of her family members.
That person's name is Tonggu Qinghe.
And the girl is Kiritani Suguha.
It is Luo Zhen's younger sister in this world.
Two years later, when Suguha's two older brothers were trapped in the game world, one has woken up and the other is still missing.
Recalling the past, Suguha wanted to shed tears many times, but held back.
Although, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Suguha and his two brothers is no longer as good as it was when they were young, and the gap between them is very large.
However, no matter how big the gap is, it has been worn away under the situation of separation of life and death that may occur at any time for two full years.
Suguha now has only one wish.
That is, I hope that my other brother can come back and reunite my family.
only...
"Where are you? Brother Qinghe..."
Suguha could only murmur in confusion like this, then tightly grasped the strap wrapped by the bamboo sword on her shoulder, took another step forward, and walked forward.
At this moment, Suguha's cell phone rang.
Suguha was slightly taken aback, and picked up the phone.
In the next second, a familiar voice entered Suguha's ears.
That was the voice of Suguha's mother Sui Kiritani.
I saw that Tong Gucui said such a sentence in an extremely excited voice.
"Suguha! Come to the hospital!"
"Qinghe is back! Qinghe is back!"
Those words came to Suguha's ears very clearly.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the phone in Suguha's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
.........
"Hahaha..."
In one of the corridors of the hospital, regardless of his panting, Suguha ran forward as fast as he could, and ran in the direction of the once extremely familiar ward.
Beside him, ambulance personnel and police officers were running back and forth quickly.
Vaguely, one thing was mentioned in the mouths of these people.
"The missing child is back!"
"He's really back!"
"Quick! Go and notify the higher-ups!"
People just shouted and ran to each other, making the hospital lively again.
Under such circumstances, Suguha finally arrived at his destination, the room where he had visited countless times, but in the end he could only see his brother lying on the hospital bed.
At this time, the door was not closed.
Suguha rushed directly to the door of the ward, supported the beam of the door, and couldn't help but bend over to breathe.
However, even so, Suguha still stared at the scene inside the door intently.
There, Tong Gucui hugged a boy tightly, crying and laughing.
Next to him, Kirito was also crying and laughing, hugging the boy's shoulders tightly.
In addition, some medical staff and police officers were also at the scene, all silently waiting by the side.
As for the young man, he had a far more mature, steady but helpless expression on his face.
After a while, the boy turned his gaze to the door, meeting Suguha's extremely excited eyes.
Immediately, the boy opened his eyes wide and then smiled.
The smile is very memorable.
"You've grown up, Suguha."
The boy said those words with a smile.
As if never separated.
"elder brother...!"
Suguha finally rushed over with tears streaming down her face.
So, Luo Zhen returned to this world again.
Return to the world that I have experienced, the most ordinary, but also the most impressive world.
