Chapter 210 Knife

Because of the fear of death, the girl talks to the protagonist at night

The two expressed their feelings to each other.

[It doesn’t matter, you will definitely survive. 】

Li Tongren said this to the scared and helpless girl. In his heart, for the first time, he made up his mind to protect the friends he met in the game.

I will protect the Black Cat Group.

A decision that perfectly suits the protagonist's image.

The girl responded to his gentle smile.

However, during a team trip to clear a maze in the novel,

The team members accidentally entered the maze mechanism.

In the original animation in the parallel world, there is no detailed explanation as to why the members of the Black Cat Group triggered the hidden door here and entered this trap.

But in the Dragon Kingdom version of the novel, Xia Yan wrote it in great detail.

This hidden door is a mechanism that will only be triggered when high-level players conquer this maze.

With the average level of the members of the Black Cat Group being twenty, this mechanism would not be triggered, but it was triggered here. There is only one reason.

In the Black Cat Group, there is Li Tongren, a high-level boss.

This trap could only be triggered by level 48 boss Li Tongren, but he entered a group of his Black Cat teammates who were only level 20.

The results can be imagined.

Jian Che looked at the plot of the novel, in which the members of the Black Cat Group were killed one by one by monsters that appeared like a huge crowd.

At this moment, his heart felt so cold.

It was completely different from the plot he imagined in which the boss player protagonist and the novice show off.

Why is this chapter so sharp?

I have spent tens of thousands of words describing the warm daily life of Kirito and the members of the Black Cat Group, how they met, got to know each other, and became friends.

However, the plot took a sharp turn immediately, and the knife attacks began immediately.

As soon as his teammates were hacked to death with axes, they screamed in agony before they died.

The second teammate was shot through the heart.

The third teammate was incompetent and furious, trying to fight his way out of the siege with courage, but was slapped back by the boss and died on the spot.

Kirito fought against these monsters with one blow, but he couldn't quickly deal with hundreds of monsters, so he could only watch his teammates die one by one.

In the end, only luck remains

The girl who had a longing for him, confided her feelings to him at night, trusted Kirito, and even Kirito made up his mind to protect her.

She, just before the attack hit her, finally left a smile to Kirito, and then was cut down ruthlessly, dissipating into a rain of light.

this.

Jian Che's expression was confused.

So in the poster given away, the girl is smiling with tears in her eyes. Is this the scene?

Old thief Yuanqing, are you a human?

Jian Che was already angry.

The girl's body turned into a rain of light, which also meant that if she died in the game, in the real world, the virtual helmet she was wearing would start a program and release high-voltage current to directly physically damage her brain.

"How could this be possible?" Jian Che's eyes turned red.

It is true that he is a philanthropist. It is a fact that the tauren, pure love, and the harem can accept it.

But he absolutely cannot accept such a lovely girl dying like this!

Sword girl, this is an absolute no-no.

What is this?

Teacher Yuanqing, are you poisonous?

Jian Che quickly read down, hoping to see any twists and turns in this plot.

However, Jian Che was disappointed and did not

On the contrary, the plot begins to focus on the protagonist's battle scenes. Grandpa Kirito is indeed the strongest swordsman in Sword Art Online. All his teammates combined cannot defeat one elite monster. He has chopped down hundreds of them by himself. Killed head-on from the trap.

However...it's useless. He can only protect himself, but he can't protect his friends' lives.

Because he hid his level and joined the Black Cat Group, he encountered the hidden level, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Black Cat Group.

Li Tongren felt extremely depressed from that day on.

In this virtual game, he finally found out about the props that could resurrect dead players.

You only need to defeat a powerful monster "Nicholas the Renegade".

Risking his life, Kirito used all the recovery tools in the battle with this monster. With only a trace of blood left, he won in a desperate situation.

However, the resurrection items obtained

There is no way to revive Xing Xing.

Because the condition of use is that it must be within ten seconds after the character dies.

When Jian Che saw this, his heart suddenly hurt.

For the first time, he felt that the SAO world where the protagonist Li Tongren stayed was so real.

Readers of novels from a God's perspective often subconsciously believe that the protagonist has an aura and will not die, so it doesn't matter what he does.

But the third chapter of Sword Art Online tells everyone with a cruel plot.

The protagonist, Kirito, is not invincible.

One of his wrong decisions can also lead to the death of someone he cherishes.

And this death was a death in the true sense, even though he spent half a year and risked his life to find the "renegade Nicholas" and defeat it.

What's the use?

Fortunately she died half a year ago.

This is true in the game, and it is true in reality.

How can the so-called resurrection items in the game be effective on people who have died in reality?

Think a little deeper.

The protagonist, Kirito, doesn’t he know this?

Why would he risk his life to find resurrection items to resurrect a player who died half a year ago?

At this moment, Jian Che finally understood Kirito's state of mind a little bit.

"Try it, what if it works? What if the boss Jingyan lied that if you die in the game, your body in the real world will also die. Maybe the game just trapped the consciousness of the dead character in SAO somewhere, and did not destroy her real body?"

As long as you use this resurrection item, everything will have an answer.

And the truth is so cruel. The ten-second expiration date after death shattered all of Kirito's hopes.

From this chapter to now, the plot related to the character Xing has stabbed Jian Che twice.

Once when she died, and once when the resurrection item that Kirito found with great difficulty could not revive her.

Then at the end of this chapter, Xing presented Jian Che with the content of the voice message preset by the system half a year ago.

→

If she died, this message would be sent to Kirito half a year after her death.

Xing's gentleness, her feelings for Kirito, her understanding of life and death, and her calmness about life, finally converged into the last sentence of the message.

【Kirito, it's really great to meet you and be with you. Thank you for goodbye forever. 】

Jian Che instantly... burst into tears.

You have the sword three times in one chapter, old thief Yuan Qing.

Jian Che first scanned the code with his mobile phone and cast a precious vote for Sword Art Online, then immediately jumped to the web page on his mobile phone and went to the official website of Liuli Book Club.

At this time.

The comment area of ​​Yuan Qing's creator account and the comment area of ​​Liuli Book Club's official website.

It was only noon, but there was already a lot of abuse.

Excellent novels can always rely on short words to create an unforgettable character.

The plot of the short 20,000 to 30,000 words in the third chapter of the novel, but on this day, let the book fans of Xia Yan in Longguo completely break down.

"All soldiers, listen to my orders. Go to the Demon City overnight and take the head of Xia Yan, the old villain."

"Damn, when I saw the beginning of the third chapter, I was thinking what kind of rubbish character got the rubbish name "Xing", get rid of it and let Asuna appear. After reading this chapter, I just want to say to Mr. Yuanqing, you have a cruel heart, how could you do it with a knife."

"Is this the treatment of the passerby female characters and the heroine? Asuna is strong and cool, handsome and beautiful. The fate of a passerby female character like Xing is like this?"

"Does Kirito like Xing? Or is he just guilty?"

"I don't know, the novel doesn't directly describe Kirito's true attitude towards Xing. Maybe, it's both."

"The description of the battle between Kirito and the apostate Nicolas is really amazing. I held my breath when I saw it, but it cost so much to get 's equipment cannot revive Xing. I can only say that this is the bad taste of Mr. Genqing. "

"It's all the world's fault."

"No, it's all the fault of the old thief Genqing. He arranged for Xing to die."

"I won't talk about his previous works. The heroine of Anohana was dead, so it's acceptable that she disappeared at the end. The heroine of Going to the Moon, Xiaoxi, was also dead when she appeared. There's nothing we can do about it. But was Xing's death necessary? I would rather Mr. Genqing hadn't created this character, and I don't want him to end the fate of this character in such a cruel way. Xing didn't even have time to express the word "like" to the protagonist in the end. "

"Really, I will never believe in Genqing again. I thought he changed his personality this time and wrote a light novel. I didn't expect it."

"Everyone Think about it another way. In order to protect Asuna's status as the heroine, Mr. Genqing created a female character at the speed of light and then let her die at the speed of light."

"In fact, I think the plot is okay. It's just to put yourself in the heart of the protagonist Li Tongren. Because his level is too high and the hidden trap is triggered, he fought hard to get out alone, but killed several partners and friends. This kind of thing is too cruel. I'm afraid I would be depressed if it were me."

"I always thought that this novel was showing us a game. When I saw those insignificant people die in the novel, I just thought it was a string of numbers. Anyway, they were people I didn't know in the novel, and they died. But until Xing died, I really felt the cruelty of this game."

"Will this game be like this in every chapter, one chapter and one knife?"

"It shouldn't be, this The first chapter mainly builds the character and image of the protagonist. And makes the cruelty of the game SAO real for our readers. Later... should, maybe, probably, or easily guide the plot of the game? "

"You typed this content, others will also be unsure."

"That's right, I don't want to say anything to you. I'm already guilty, and you still write this kind of comment in this tone. I'm afraid that Mr. Gensei will really be upset and kill a cute girl in the novel later."

"Asuna, won't she be killed too?"

"It shouldn't be. After all, last week's novel poster, Asuna's character poster is obviously much more delicate than Xing, and the plot is also much more delicate. If Mr. Gensei wanted to abandon Asuna easily, there was no need to spend so much time on her in the beginning. ”

After the serialization of the third chapter of the Sword Art Online novel, it can be said that readers gave a lot of negative reviews.

However, it was not about the content of the novel, but about the author Xia Yan.

The characters in the novel are definitely fine, but the "author" who arranged the fate of these characters is definitely guilty.

Xia Yan's creator account received hundreds of thousands of private messages in one night to condemn his bad taste in liking female sword characters.

However, readers have no opinion on the novel Sword Art Online.

This issue's ranking of novels.

Crimson Abyss is still the first, with 2,456,132 votes.

And Sword Art Online has increased its votes again, reaching 2,019,856 votes, ranking second.

The third work is Labyrinth of the Other World, with 1,212,312 votes.

The fourth one, You and Me!, has dropped to less than 700,000 votes.

After all, Xia Yan's increase in votes basically comes from the decline in votes for other novels.

So it is normal for Labyrinth of the Other World and You and Me! to decline in votes.

However.

The more than two million votes of support for Sword Art Online in this issue shocked the Dragon Country light novel industry on the same day.

This is only the third chapter.

What kind of popularity trend is this novel Sword Art Online?

At least in the Dragon Country light novel industry, novels with such a popularity trend as Sword Art Online have never been seen before.

After all, if a new novel wants to compete with the pillar works of this level of journals, it must be serialized for one or two months, with excellent quality, climax and plot, and stable fan base.

This is only the third chapter

More than two million votes of readers support?

Even with the promotional resources of Liuli Bookstore, the fans of Yuanqing's past novels, the fans of the movie "To the Moon" and the fans of the comics of Initial D, the growth rate of popularity is ridiculously fast.

This cannot be explained by simply relying on Yuanqing to eat the popularity of his previous fans. After all, which author of the top popular light novel works in Longguo does not have these old fans to eat when opening a new book?

But how many novels can have such a good start?

It can only be said that this work is unexpectedly in line with the taste of the current light novel fans in Longguo.
