Chapter 403 Login to 'Pokémon Island'
Blue Planet, June 10, 2023.
After returning to the real world, Kirito forced himself to go underground to find Asuna in the same hospital that day, and learned that the other party's name was Yuuki Asuna.
This time, unlike the situation in the original work, Asuna was trapped in ALO and Nobuyuki Sugo took control of the world and even threatened the former.
Because Nobuyuki Sugo was originally responsible for the development of the game ALO in RECT, he was trusted by Asuna's father Yuuki Shozo and was able to do things secretly.
But this time all the relevant scientific research materials have been packed away by Kayaba Akihiko. Although Nobuyuki Sugo was in the same laboratory with Kayaba Akihiko and Kayaba Akihiko's lover Rinko Kamishiro when they were students, the talents of the three are very different.
Without the 'The Seed' left by Kayaba Akihiko, Nobuyuki Sugo would not have the ability to develop ALO at all.
Naturally, there is no need to think about gaining the trust of Yuuki Shozo, and it is impossible to transfer the consciousness of other players to other virtual worlds.
As for Kayaba Akihiko's lover, Kamishiro Rinko.
Although this woman was very good to Kayaba Akihiko, and even took care of Kayaba Akihiko's body until his death in the two years after the outbreak of the SAO incident in the original work, this was already considered to be harboring a criminal.
Because of this incident, Kamishiro Rinko faced a lot of prosecution after Kayaba Akihiko's body was found. Although she was still not prosecuted in the end, she could not survive in the country and went to the United States.
But now Kayaba Akihiko of Blue Star has expected all this, and in order not to drag down Kamishiro Rinko, he has cut himself off from home.
Kamishiro Rinko is a person who has nothing to do with the SAO incident, and she herself has no idea that Kayaba Akihiko has started a new life in another world.
What Kayaba Akihiko left for Kamishiro Rinko were the relevant materials and a letter about NERvGear.
Kamishiro Rinko can use these materials to exchange for endless wealth and top jobs, but how she plans to use them is not something Kayaba Akihiko can predict.
In that letter, Kayaba Akihiko only vaguely mentioned the existence of the other world, and told her that he would meet him in the restarted Aincrad to solve his doubts.
In order to prevent the police from discovering the existence of the letter before Kamishiro Rinko, he deliberately said a lot of "crazy words" to create the illusion that he was mentally ill.
However, Kamishiro Rinko, who has been with Kayaba Akihiko for so many years, must be able to find clues from it.
Now it has been a week since all SAO players were released.
Kirito's body has recovered to the point where he can walk normally and go home to recuperate. After all, the time he was trapped in SAO was not as long as in the original work, so the recovery time was also shortened a lot.
And on the second day after all SAO players were released, Kirito also learned some information through the Internet and TV.
All 33492 SAO survivors woke up the moment they took off their NERvGear on their own.
But in addition to them.
There are tens of thousands of original players who were originally diagnosed as vegetative and woke up from a coma. According to their own words, it was like sleeping.
According to the investigation and interview, these people basically died by being killed by others, strategy battles, leveling up by killing monsters, taking NERvGear from the outside world, etc.
To put it more generally, this group of people are [green-named players].
There are still a few hundred people who are still in a vegetative state. Whether they can wake up depends on their willpower.
Some green-named players recognized these people and pointed out that they were all [yellow-named players].
The last few thousand players who were left were originally vegetative, but the moment SAO was released, they all lost their vital signs and died completely.
Some players recognized this group of people and claimed that they were all [red-named players] who killed others in the game.
And guilds like [Avengers] were all exposed under the temptation of money.
After a quarter of an hour of careful consideration and listening to the opinions of the majority of surviving players, the official decided to judge that the killing behavior of the [Avengers] guild was justified defense under special circumstances and would not be pursued.
Of course, the real situation is far more complicated than what is revealed on the surface.
Among the 50,000 players trapped in SAO, there are many people in high positions or rich families. With such a group of people putting pressure behind them, the [Avengers] will definitely be safe.
This does not mean that there are no people with special backgrounds among the group of [red-named players] who were killed.
However, the families of these people have basically been dragged down by this incident and attacked by hostile elements in the officialdom. The lucky ones are still busy and can't get away, while the unlucky ones have already started to operate sewing machines and have no time to deal with any [Avengers].
As for the players who escaped from SAO.
Those students were arranged to study in a newly established special school, and people of other age groups also had their own arrangements.
Today's Kirito is not an ordinary character.
As one of the strongest players in SAO and one of the last saviors, Kirito became a little celebrity in Japan not long after he came out of SAO.
There are even some members of the [Wanderers] Guild, whose identities in the real world are quite valuable, who want to arrange a good job for Kirito or arrange for him to enter a good school as a way of repaying their kindness.
Kirito declined the kindness of most people, but there were a few people who were more stubborn than him. They insisted on repaying their kindness and would be anxious if they didn't.
Kirito had no choice but to ask these people to build a dojo not far from his house after careful consideration.
It's called [Uchiha Dojo].
Kirito chose to drop out of school to run this dojo and teach the Uchiha style swordsmanship that he learned from Izuna in SAO.
He wants to make [Uchiha Style] Neon's most famous swordsmanship.
There are also many players who are very considerate and come here from time to time to learn. Even if they don’t want to learn, they come to play and treat it as an offline meeting with other SAO players.
After Kirito's sister Suguha had a "recovery battle" with Kirito, she became her brother's little crush, with eyes filled with admiration.
At this time, inside Kirito's home.
Kirito locked the door to his room, put on his NERvGear, and took out his cell phone.
[Kirito: Are you ready? 】
[Asuna: Well, remember not to be discovered by others. 】
[Kirito: I know, you too. 】
[Asuna: Goodbye on Pokémon Island. 】
[Kirito: OK. 】
Turning off the phone, Kirito closed his eyes, turned on NERvGear and started to sneak into consciousness.
About a minute later.
A dazzling light reappeared in Kirito's field of vision.
Before he could regain his sight, dialog boxes appeared in front of him.
【statement】
[Due to the limitations of your physical potential, you do not have the conditions to become stronger in this life, including but not limited to devil fruits, special abilities, ninjutsu, taijutsu, domineering, etc. 】
[Please live your life in Pokémon Island as a pure trainer. 】
[Special warning: Please do not try to 'die' at will. Once you die in this world, you will no longer be eligible to enter the Pokémon Island. 】
[Then, I wish you a happy new life. 】
By the time all the dialog boxes had appeared, Kirito's eyesight had adapted to the somewhat dazzling light.
Yes, it's the lights.
Kirito confirmed this by looking at the dazzling light tubes on the ceiling.
And now 'he' seems to be lying in some kind of container.
"勃~"
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
Kirito looked at the head that suddenly stuck out next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hora! Long time no see!"
Kirito sat up all of a sudden, took Xuanla into his arms and rubbed her hard, then looked carefully, "Have you grown taller and fatter?"
"New."
Xuanla slapped away Kirito's hand that was rubbing his face, and raised his chin proudly.
"Meow~"
Two green kittens, one big and one small, walked next to them.
"You guys, aren't these Xin Ye Miao and Ye Zi?!"
Kirito's eyes gradually widened, he looked at Xuan La, then at Xin Ye Miao, and then at Ye Zi, who was no longer small, and he gradually understood something.
"Meow~"
Ye Zi ran over and rubbed Kirito's hand.
"Long time no see, Ye Zi, it doesn't seem like it's been a long time."
Kirito smiled and stroked the forehead of little Xinye Miao, then raised his eyes and looked around.
At this moment, he was in a super huge cube space. There were thousands of steel containers similar to sleeping chambers on the ground, and he was sitting in one of them.
"It seems we are the last batch."
Kirito looked at the sleeping cabins around him. Most of them had been opened and were empty inside.
There are only a few sleeping chambers that are tightly closed, with corresponding player names posted on the chamber doors.
"Are the body senses 100% synchronized?"
Kirito stretched out his right hand and pinched the back of his left hand to confirm the feeling, and then took a deep breath, "Is the air in the city so fresh? It seems that the environment in this world is very good."
"Kirito."
Asuna's voice came from the side.
Kirito turned around and saw Asuna, who was wearing pure white clothes and trousers. Her appearance was exactly the same as in Aincrad, and he must be the same.
This outfit is very ordinary, and he himself is also dressed in this outfit. Maybe this is something similar to 'novice equipment'.
Next to Asuna is Heracross.
"Long time no see, Heracross. You are much older than when you were in Aincrad."
"Hey~"
Heracross raised his hand and waved, saying hello to Asuna.
Kirito then stood up, walked over to Asuna and kissed her.
"What are you doing?!"
Asuna blushed embarrassedly and pushed Kirito away, "The leaves are still there."
Asuna pointed at the little new leaf-meow who was standing next to her legs and staring at them with big curious eyes.
"It's nothing, just trying to see how the body senses are synchronized."
Kirito grinned, then naturally took Asuna's hand, and then looked at the Pokémon beside his legs,
"Take us to see the world."
