One Thousand Six Hundred, the Mystery that Continues to Sleep

"Hoo...hoo..."

The faint sound of breathing could not stop rising and falling from the girl's somewhat pale lips.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Instruments such as testing the heartbeat are working in the ward, and are connected to the girl's body.

Luo Zhen came in front of the girl, sat beside her, stared at her blankly, and did not respond for a long time.

after a long time...

"Sorry, I'm late."

Luo Zhen spoke as if talking to Asuna.

"I should have come here earlier, but because of my affairs, various things have been delayed until now."

Luo Zhen began to tell.

"I know, if it was you, you would definitely cry and tell me with a smile on your face—"Don't worry, I know you will definitely come." "

This is the tenderness of a girl, and it is a prayer that a girl has never expected.

"Obviously I'm a fool who only knows strategy and research, and I don't understand a little style. You are still willing to come and live with me and become Yui's mother. It's really incomprehensible. What do you like about me?"

Luo Zhen seemed to want to finish the words hidden in his heart in one breath, and slowly spoke out sentence by sentence.

"Perhaps, when we met for the first time on the first floor of Aincrad, you should stab me to death with a sword. That would be more enjoyable."

Recalling what happened at that time, and recalling himself at that time, Luo Zhen could only smile wryly.

but...

"Now, I have become greedy, and I really want to go on a date with you again, even if there is no forest on the 22nd floor, let alone the beautiful scenery, that's the same."

As he spoke, Luo Zhen stretched out his hand, caressed Asuna's cheek, and even stroked her long chestnut hair, and finally landed on her hand, holding it tightly.

"Now, let me bring you back."

finished speaking,

Luo Zhen stretched out his other hand and placed it on the helmet-shaped game console Asuna was wearing.

In the body, the amazing magic power above the dragon veins began to surge.

Although I don't know why Asuna didn't wake up after clearing SAO, but for Rozen now, it is undoubtedly very simple to wake Asuna up.

For example, Luo Zhen can use magic or incantations to directly call back Asuna's spirit and even soul to wake her up.

For another example, Luo Zhen can launch a defensive spell on Asuna's brain and cut off the power directly. Even if is cut off from the power or the network, it will immediately burn the wearer's head like a microwave oven. Under the protection of the spell, Asuna was also safe and sound, and woke up safely.

What's more, even if something happened to Asuna, Luo Zhen could still draw a resurrection rune for her, and even use "Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice" to revive her and let her return.

In short, for Luo Zhen, there are all kinds of ways to save Asuna.

Rather, even if it's not the current Rozen, but the Rozen who was still in this world before, and couldn't even successfully summon the superior familiar, if he used magic, he would be able to save Asuna back.

Perhaps, in the eyes of people in this world, it is very difficult to overcome , but to Luo Zhen, this is just a microwave oven worn on the head, as long as the brain is protected by , and then the power is cut off , can save people casually.

Before, the reason why Luo Zhen couldn't get out of the world of SAO was only because he himself was trapped in it.

has the function of blocking the signal from the wearer's brain. Once connected, it will really be completely isolated from the real world, and can only receive the imaginary five emotions.

This is a function necessary to move freely in the virtual space.

Otherwise, if the commands issued by the brain to the body in the real world are still valid, once the user in full stealth has the idea of ​​action in the virtual space, the body in the real world will also act at the same time, then Can't lie indoors and enjoy the fun of the game with peace of mind.

It is precisely because will retrieve the commands sent from the medulla oblongata to the body, and then convert the commands into digital signals of the active avatar, so players can run and fight freely in the game.

Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen, who is also in the game, can't control his body in the real world to use magic, can't use magic to protect his brain, and can't cut off the power supply and network. As a result, he can only stay in the game world.

Now, Master Luo is outside, and it is easy to save a player who is completely sneaking in front of him.

"Om..."

Amidst the faint buzzing sound, Rozen first laid a magic barrier around Asuna's head, and carved a few runes on Asuna's arm.

The rune submerged into Asuna's body, filled Asuna's delicate body with abundant vitality, and revived Asuna's vitality as if injecting vitality into her body that had been exhausted due to two years of inactivity.

Then, Luo Zhen pointed a finger on Asuna's forehead, closed his eyes, and carved another rune.

It is a pure rune that can cleanse the mind and awaken the sleeping life and soul.

Guided by this rune, the sleeping spirit will be awakened and purify the body and mind of the rune's user.

Using this rune, Luo Zhen wanted to call back Asuna's spirit and wake her up.

only...

"Um?"

Luo Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, surprised.

Because Luo Zhen felt it.

"Refused?"

Yes.

Refused.

For some reason, Asuna seemed to feel that she was about to be awakened, but she subconsciously rejected the guidance of the rune and refused to wake up from her deep sleep.

"what happened?"

Rozen frowned tightly.

Luo Zhen never expected that Asuna would refuse to wake up.

This made Luo Zhen somewhat unprepared.

But on the other hand, Luo Zhen was also relieved.

"Since Asuna's subconscious is refusing to wake up, it proves that she has not encountered any unknown danger, but that she must do something in this state, right?"

That being the case, it at least proved that Asuna didn't encounter any serious problems for the time being.

or...

"Even if she encounters a serious problem, she must face it...?"

Rozen thought about it.

"It seems that something is going on that I don't know about."

What is Asuna's current state?

Her soul continues to be imprisoned, where is she staying?

SAO?

still...

Luo Zhen thought silently.

After a long time, Luo Zhen let out a breath.

No matter what, there is one thing that I must do.

"Three hundred players including Asuna still haven't woken up, the mystery that continues to sleep..."

This mystery must be solved.

Otherwise, Asuna might never wake up.

And this is the first thing Luo Zhen must do when he returns to this world.

In order to bring Asuna back.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Asuna's pretty face again.

"wait for me..."

After leaving such words, Luo Zhen stood up and left the ward.

In the white ward, only Asuna was left sleeping quietly.

On his face, a drop of tear appeared at unknown time and flowed down.
