"You just keep pretending to be stubborn. You always keep silent every time. If I really stole your girl away from you, you would secretly cry under the quilt, right?" Fujinomiya Ningzi whispered.
"I don't know!" Kato Megumi raised her head.
"How about Ningzi, why don't you try it first?"
Fujinomiya Ningzi burst into laughter, but her body seemed to protest against this smile, and she soon became a little breathless. She rested for two or three minutes before she recovered.
"By the way, it seems like I've been on the phone with someone for a while." Fujinomiya Ningzi took a deep breath, calmed her heartbeat, and then said.
"It's indeed been a while." Kato Megumi blinked and looked outside, and found that Yushan Kazuto was not in the corridor.
"Maybe there is something important." Turning around, Kato Megumi said slowly.
Chapter 1099 Combat Deployment
"Hui, Ningzi."
As soon as they returned to the classroom, Hayama Kazuto quickly called out their names.
Kato Hui turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I have something to do and I have to go home right now." Yushan Heren said.
"What about your afternoon?" asked Fujinomiya Ningzi lazily.
"I have to skip class this afternoon. Please keep an eye on me. If a teacher notices that I am not in my seat, please ask for leave for me. If no teacher notices, then I don't need to ask for leave."
Yushan and Rendao.
Recently, Kato Megumi's invisibility aura has been working sometimes and sometimes not. If it were last semester, Yushan Kazuto wouldn't need the two of them to ask for leave for him.
"Is there anything wrong?" Kato Megumi asked worriedly.
"There is indeed something, but it is not convenient for me to disclose it." Yushan Heren blinked.
Everything about SAO is a secret. Fujinomiya Ningko may have known something at home, but she certainly cannot tell Kato Megumi.
Kato Megumi blinked slightly and nodded.
"What about the football club? Do you need us to ask for leave for you?"
Yushan Kazuto thought for a while and said, "I'll have to trouble you to make the trip for me."
Fujinomiya Ningzi looked at Yushan Kazuto and guessed something in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud.
If the facts are really as she guessed, then this matter really cannot be told to Kato Megumi.
"Ningzi, don't you want to eat the remaining lunch box? I'll give it to you." Yushan Heren looked at Fujinomiya Ningzi with a warning in his eyes. This lunch box was used to shut Fujinomiya Ningzi's mouth.
Fujinomiya Ningzi smiled and nodded slightly. Yushan Kazuto's performance made her more convinced that this matter must be related to SAO.
……
After returning home, Yushan Kazuto sorted out the information sent by the search team.
According to their investigation, they have figured out the underground structure and found that there is indeed a passage at the spring water at the foot of the mountain that leads into the mountain.
And deep in the passage, the water-drawing location was also discovered by the search team.
Kayaba Akihiko was still relatively cautious and chose to draw water from the bottom of the water, but he still could not escape the sharp eyes of the search team.
Following the direction of the water pipe, the search team found a narrow passage.
The entire search process was simpler than what Hayama and others had planned. In fact, Kayaba Akihiko was not fully prepared at the time.
After all, the public beta test was actually advanced, and Kayaba Akihiko was also forced to do it. Although the entire SAO world had been prepared in advance, his hiding place was not fully arranged.
There were not many detection instruments of various types on the road, and the search team commissioned by Yushan Kazuto was professional enough. After searching all the way, they found the hiding place of Kayaba Akihiko and the other person.
However, the road leading to the hiding place was blocked with stones by Kayaba Akihiko, so the search team had no way to move forward. After all, if they continued to move forward, they would likely be discovered by Kayaba Akihiko and the others.
In the past two days, the search team has been investigating the underground situation to ensure that Kayaba Akihiko has no other escape routes.
After several days of exploration, the search team finally figured out the situation underground. The underground roads were indeed complicated, but there were several particularly important passes.
[On the day of the official operation, people must be sent to guard points a, e, g, and l. As for the other passages, it’s fine.]
Looking at the 3D underground map sent by the other party, Yushan Heren couldn't help but frowned slightly.
The situation underground was complicated, but Yushan Heren still saw the key at a glance.
Originally, according to the search team's suggestion, it would be best to send people to guard all 19 points from A to S, but the entire entrance is so small that it would be too crowded for two people to enter at a time.
If we want to control nineteen points, plus the time required to familiarize ourselves with the roads, the preparation alone would probably take a week or two.
Moreover, there are people in the Japanese government who are obstructing this matter. The fewer people involved, the better. Otherwise, there might be other unexpected events.
Even though Kayaba Akihiko was right there and he couldn't escape, Hayama Kazuto still felt that he should be more efficient, so he took out his cell phone and called Hayama Yayoi.
……
"Do you need manpower? Can your people help?" Yayoi Hayama's voice came from the phone.
"I'm afraid not. They are only responsible for some search and detective work. If they are involved, they may not be able to leave Japan in a short time." Yushan Heren said.
Yayoi Hayama fell silent. Just as Kazuto Hayama said, if the other party was deeply involved, even if he would not be retaliated by some violent groups, he would probably be sent to prison by another faction because of some trivial matters.
Although once you enter prison, there is a high probability that you will be released after suffering a little.
But this time it was Yushan and others who commissioned someone else to do the job. If someone was sent to jail during the process, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Okay then, I'll go and coordinate it." said Yayoi Yuyama.
"How many people are needed? Are three hundred enough?"
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but grin. No wonder Yushan Yayoi was struggling in his words. Yushan Kazuto thought that someone was holding him back, but it turned out that he had miscalculated.
"We don't need so many. About twenty will be enough." Yushan Heren said.
As long as you can guard the four points a, e, g, l, and the exit, it is almost equivalent to a urn.
Caught a turtle.
"Just such a small number of people? Didn't they say that the area is 20 square kilometers?" Yayoi Yuyama was a little surprised. He had made plans for a protracted battle.
"I will send you the map for the specific details. The search team will take people to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Once they are familiar with it, they can start. I hope this process will not exceed three days." Yushan Heren said.
Yushan Yayoi thought for a while and said, "I'll give you fifty people, and they can be in place now."
"Leave ten people in Tokyo, and the rest go to the Central Highlands. I will arrange the contact work." Yushan Heren said.
"Leaving ten people in Tokyo? Is it related to the little girl from the Yuki family?" Yayoi Hayama immediately made the connection.
"Well, I won't reveal too many details. It will take a while to explain it clearly." Yushan Heren said.
"I understand." Yayoi Yuyama knew that Yuyama Kazuto didn't want to say more, so she responded.
"I'll send you the map right away. Remember to find some reliable people on your side." Yushan Heren reminded again.
"I know this without you telling me." Yushan Yayoi couldn't help but say, "Let's try to wrap up this whole thing this week. Cut the Gordian knot and don't leave any room for those people to imagine."
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto responded, hung up the phone, and forwarded the map sent to him by the search team to Yushan Yayoi.
Chapter 1100 Preparations before the Battle
Friday, calm.
As usual, after playing chess at the Japan Chess Institute, Hayama Kazuto returned to the apartment building.
"Come over tomorrow... Sorry, Yin Zi, this may be a little inconvenient."
Looking at Kong Yinzi's dissatisfied expression, Yushan Heren said angrily.
"Is there something?" Kong Yinzi asked.
"Well, we haven't finished dealing with last week's affairs yet." Yushan and others nodded.
"Tell me when you've dealt with it." Sora Ginko left a word and walked towards Kiyotaki's house with Hinazuru Ai.
Hinazuru Ai turned around from time to time and stole a few glances at Yushan Kazuto, but Yushan Kazuto could only give her an apologetic look.
The people arranged by Yayoi Yuyama have followed the search team to familiarize themselves with the underground situation. Tomorrow is the day to officially start.
However, it seems that there are still a lot of preparations to be made for tomorrow, so Yushan and others naturally have no time to play chess with Kong Yinzi and the others.
Sitting in the elevator, Yushan Kazuto called Yukinoshita Yukino.
Tomorrow's matter is too important, Yushan and others need an absolutely private space, so naturally they have to reject all other people's visits.
Although there is a girl named Izumi Sagiri at home, fortunately, Izumi Sagiri almost never leaves her room, so she will not have any impact on Yushan Kazuto.
"Can't you come tomorrow?" Although Yukinoshita Yukino tried her best to hide her disappointment.
"Well, there are some rather private matters that need to be taken care of, so there will be no guests at home tomorrow," Yushan Heren said.
Although the reasons given by Yushan Kazuto were somewhat ambiguous, they were not unacceptable.
Families like the Yuyama family and the Shinomiya family have some special periods to deal with some urgent matters, so it is normal that they cannot have guests during these days.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.
"The day after tomorrow, most likely." Yushan Kazuto didn't dare to say it for sure. Maybe Kayaba Akihiko still has some special means to escape?
However, Yushan Kazuto was certain that Kayaba Akihiko would find it difficult to escape tomorrow's trap.
Although the probability is only percent, Yushan Kazuto still has to take it into account.
"Call me tomorrow when the matter is resolved," said Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded and hung up the phone.
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino's hands felt weak and the phone slipped from her ear and fell on the sofa.
I picked up the phone, but there was still a sense of loss between my brows.
[When did I become so sensitive and worried about gains and losses? ]
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but smile at herself, picked up the book and continued reading.
……
After returning home, Yushan Kazuto called Toumori Sanae again.
What surprised Yushan Kazuto was that whether it was Touma Sanae, Yukinoshita Yukino, or Sora Ginko, they all expressed understanding for what he was going to do tomorrow, and said that he would call them back after he had sorted out his issues.
Although this is human nature, it always feels a bit subtle when several people express the same idea.
After taking a shower, Yushan Kazuto logged into SAO early. He and Tsuchima Yui are both at level 99 now, and have not reached the full level of 100.
Before defeating the final boss, the level was stuck at level 99, which made Yushan Kazuto a little uncomfortable.
That’s right, Kazuto Yuyama has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As for Yuuki Asuna, she reached the maximum level very early, and her online time was much longer than that of Yuyama Kazuto and Tsuchima.
Although most of the time was spent dealing with some Rose Knights matters, Yuuki Asuna's leveling time was obviously much longer than the other two.
"Senior Kazuto?" Asuna Yuuki was shocked when she saw Kazuto Hayama logging into SAO.
How long has it been since I saw Yushan Kazuto online so early? The last time Yushan Kazuto was online so early was during the winter vacation, when he was urged to go online by Yuuki Asuna.
"Don't worry about it. I'm going online to level up. It's been such a long time and I'm still not at the maximum level. I feel like I'm slacking off for too long." Yushan Heren smiled.
However, although Yushan and Ren seldom come online, their level has always been at the forefront of SAO. Currently, except for Yushan and Ren, the highest level is only over level 70!
Yuuki Asuna blinked slightly. Yuyama Kazuto actually took the initiative to level up. Does this mean that he will be able to conquer the 100th floor soon?
"Senior Kazuto, are you ready to... attack the 100th floor?" Yuuki Asuna walked up to Kazuto Hayama and asked in a low voice.
"Tomorrow, we will officially start tomorrow." Yushan Heren did not hide anything and said directly.
"So fast?" Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink.
"Well, we've found Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place. Now we just need to wait for the combatants to gather their strength, and then we can solve all the problems at once."
Yushan and Rendao.
With Hui-chan's help in covering up, Yushan Kazuto was not worried that what he said would be heard by Kayaba Akihiko.
Yuuki Asuna blinked slightly when she heard this. She had been staying in such a small room for several months, and during this time, except for Yushan Kazuto, even her family had not come to visit her.
Although it is much better than those players who stay in the game and cannot log off for half a year, they are still under tremendous pressure.
"Don't get too excited, it will be resolved soon.
