1599th Meet After a Long Time
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications General Communication Infrastructure Bureau Advanced Communication Network Promotion Section.
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, it is called the Communication Network Hypothetical Space Management Section, abbreviated as "Virtual Section".
In a word, this is a management organization established by the state and subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
Its mission is to monitor the VR world, which is currently in a chaotic state of disorder.
And the man in front of him named Seijiro Kikuoka is a senior civil servant who belongs to the second group of the imaginary class, and is an agent set up by the state for the network.
On November 6, 2022, after the public beta of the virtual reality large-scale online role-playing game "Sword art online" became a death game, the Advanced Communication Network Promotion Division of the Integrated Communication Infrastructure Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications was established immediately. The emergency response team for the SAO incident.
Kikuoka Seijiro is the leader of this group.
Two years ago, after hearing the news about the game of death, he was the one who organized the personnel and transported the sneaking SAO players to a nearby hospital.
It can be said that many SAO players are alive today because of his actions.
Even Luo Zhen was in charge of him at the beginning, and his people put him in an ambulance and sent him to the hospital.
Of course, this man knows how special Luo Zhen's identity is in SAO, and he also knows that Luo Zhen rescued the players in the entire SAO, and because of his mysterious disappearance for two months, he will appear here.
Luo Zhen just looked at the very businesslike smile on his face, glanced at the hand that was stretched out in front of him, and didn't hold it, but made a sound directly.
"I heard from Kirito that you were the one who gave him information about Asuna... Yuuki Asuna's current situation, and you gave me the information that she lives in this hospital, right?"
Luo Zhen asked straightforwardly.
"Yes." Kikuoka Seijiro still maintained a smiling face, without embarrassment, he directly withdrew his hand and said, "After all, it is your request to become a hero. After learning from the team members that you have this request, I will naturally satisfy it." you."
"Stop coming." Luo Zhen said unceremoniously: "You will meet my request and are willing to help me apply for a visit permit. It should be to let me cooperate with your investigation?"
heard that,
Kikuoka Seijiro's expression froze slightly.
Immediately, Kikuoka Seijiro restrained his business-like smile, scratched his cheek, and opened his mouth helplessly.
"As expected of the hero who saved thousands of people, the person who led the strategy team to clear the game at the forefront, it seems that I underestimated you too much, thinking that you should be easy to deal with at a young age."
Kikuoka Seijiro said so bluntly.
Obviously, after realizing that Luo Zhen is not easy to fool, Kikuoka Seijiro stopped pretending.
"As you said, because of your special status and special experience, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is very concerned about your situation and hopes that you can provide powerful information."
Kikuoka Seijiro said so.
"According to the testimonies of the rest of the SAO survivors, in the last battle, only you and Akihiko Kayaba with the ID name Heathcliff were forcibly transferred, and you don't know where you went. How did your battle with him go? What the result will be, no one knows except you."
That being the case, for Luo Zhen's return, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications immediately sent personnel, hoping to get key information about the final battle from Luo Zhen.
"Please cooperate. According to your testimony, we may not only find a way to save the 300 players who have not yet awakened, but also find the whereabouts of Akihiko Kayaba and arrest this criminal."
Kikuoka Seijiro pushed his own glasses and said so very seriously.
It was for this reason that Kikuoka Seijiro had to come here in person when the team members could not get powerful information from Luo Zhen.
For this...
"I know your conditions." Luo Zhen said very calmly: "Take me to see Asuna, and I will tell you all the information related to Akihiko Kayaba during the final battle."
Hearing this, Kikuoka Seijiro's expression relaxed.
"In that case, please come with me."
Saying that, Kikuoka Seijiro turned around and headed towards the hospital.
Without any hesitation, Luo Zhen followed directly.
Under such circumstances, Kikuoka Seijiro applied to the hospital for a visit pass in his own position and identity.
Without him, Luo Zhen would not be able to obtain permission to visit Asuna under the condition that he and Asuna were not relatives, let alone know the location of the hospital where Asuna was taken in. Look for Asuna and visit her in secret.
Now, with Kikuoka Seijiro's recommendation, Luo Zhen undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble.
"I have already notified Miss Yuki's family first. They said that they can let you visit, maybe they hope you can wake her up, even though they know it is impossible."
Kikuoka Seijiro came to a ward, took out his pass, swiped it on the authentication device of the door, and opened the door.
"Miss Yuki is inside, go in and meet her."
Hearing Kikuoka Seijiro's words, Luo Zhen nodded and walked into the ward.
"laugh!"
The electronic door behind him immediately heard the sound of closing.
A fresh scent of flowers filled the whole room and got into Luo Zhen's nose.
Luo Zhen raised his head and looked forward.
I saw that in the depths of the wide ward, there was a curtain separating the space.
Luo Zhen immediately stepped forward and opened the door curtain.
In the next second, the scene inside the door curtain came into Luo Zhen's eyes.
In front of Luo Zhen, a fully automatic nursing bed with the latest technology is located there.
The hospital bed is made of soft rubber material, covered with a white and clean quilt, allowing the sunlight outside the window to shine on it, emitting a faint light.
And on this bed, the girl was lying there.
Long, glossy chestnut hair spread across the mattress.
The clear and fair skin doesn't look like a sick person at all.
There is a blush on the cheek.
She was wearing a set of simple hospital gowns, which concealed the girl's exquisite body.
She just lay there.
As beautiful as anything I've seen in SAO.
It's just that, at this moment, she doesn't have the coldness and heroism known as "Flash", only weak and slender, an illusory feeling that seems to disappear at any time.
She is sleeping quietly.
On her head, a dark blue helmet covered her head.
All three LED display lights emit blue light, and sometimes even twinkle like stars.
This is proof that
In other words, at this time when everyone else has returned to this world, the girl is still imprisoned in the virtual world and cannot return.
Looking at this quietly sleeping girl who did not respond to her arrival, Luo Zhen seemed to be able to see in a trance that in the forest on the 22nd floor of Aincrad, the building that he regarded as In front of the log cabin at home, she was waving to herself in home clothes and smiling happily at herself.
"Rozen!"
The sweet call was awakened in Luo Zhen's brain like a world away.
Luo Zhen couldn't help clenching his fists.
"Asuna..."
After decades, Luo Zhen saw Asuna again.
in not-so-beautiful form.
