However, twice in a row, Kayaba Akihiko was forced to recover when his health was half consumed, which made Yushan Kazuto somewhat suspicious.
"HP drops to 50%, forcibly knocking back units within three meters, invincible for ten seconds, and recovering 5% HP per second."
Yushan Kazuto slowly read out one of Kayaba Akihiko's passive skills.
Hearing Yushan Kazuto's voice, Kayaba Akihiko's face did not look good: "Were you sent by them?"
Hayama Kazuto blinked and ignored Kayaba Akihiko's question.
"So you're a cheater? No wonder."
"Tell me, were you sent by them?" Kayaba Akihiko instantly approached Yushan Kazuto.
"There's no need to explain everything to you."
When Hui-chan told Hayama Kazuto about Kayaba Akihiko, she also told Hayama Kazuto a piece of information.
On the central highlands, the combat team has already controlled Kamishiro Rinko.
Chapter 1109: You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust
Before he could get close to Hayama Kazuto, Kayaba Akihiko was blown away by a shock wave, which was almost identical to the effect of his own passive forced knockback.
"What do you mean?" Kayaba Akihiko clenched his weapon.
"It means exactly what it says. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Yushan Heren smiled, and the sword in his hand suddenly became longer, and a raging flame burned on the sword.
Kayaba Akihiko was very sure that he had never designed such a retractable weapon, nor had he developed special effects for weapons that burned.
Even Tsuchima Yui and Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink. Hayama Kazuto had never shown this attitude before.
"Are you curious about where I got this sword?" Yushan Heren smiled.
Kayaba Akihiko stared at Yushan Kazuto, and although his expression was still cold, it was obvious that he was a little panicked.
"Check your background and see if it is still under your control?" Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Doma Mai blinked slightly. Could it be that what Yushan Kazuto meant by this sentence was that he had already broken into Aincrad's backstage?
The background data has turned into a string of garbled characters, and Kayaba Akihiko's expression suddenly became complicated.
Originally, Yushan Heren had no intention of resorting to such means. After all, he also wanted to get the matter to a good end and resolve it satisfactorily.
But who told Kayaba Akihiko to use the administrator account? Since normal means could not solve the problem, Yushan Kazuto could only use his own way.
"Are you really not afraid?" Kayaba Akihiko stared at Yushan Kazuto with bloodshot eyes.
Hayama Kazuto shrugged and sorted out the backstage affairs, which would take Kayaba Akihiko at least a few minutes to complete.
During these few minutes, Kayaba Akihiko could not even pose a threat to the other players, let alone Yushan and the other two players who could log off at any time.
"I won't say any more to you. It's time to send you on your way."
The long sword was swung lightly, and a blazing light burst out. In an instant, the entire space seemed to be cut off by this sword.
Kayaba Akihiko's passive ability no longer worked because Yushan Kazuto had already blocked his passive effect. His body shattered like glass, turned into a point of light, and disappeared from the game.
Hayama Kazuto stared at the direction where Kayaba Akihiko disappeared and sent a message to the combat team.
"Finally I passed the level." Tsuchima stretched lazily.
Although the final boss was not defeated by the three of them personally, but was defeated by Yushan Kazuto using some magical means, the opponent was also an administrator player, and Tsuchima Mai did not think there was anything wrong with Yushan Kazuto's approach.
Yuuki Asuna also came over, but her expression was a little strange. According to what Kayaba Akihiko originally said, the game should end immediately after completing the level, so why haven't they logged off yet?
Noticing the look in Yuuki Asuna's eyes, Hayama Kazuto nodded at her, indicating that the matter had been resolved.
Although the current situation made Yuuki Asuna a little confused, but after seeing the eyes of Hayama Kazuto, Yuuki Asuna felt relieved.
"Senior Kazuto, what did you mean when you told Asuna before that it was time to end this game?" Tsuchima Mai suddenly asked.
"Asuna, please explain to Kouma-chan. I have something else to do, so I'll go offline first." Yushan Kazuto said, and then he chose to go offline.
Previously, they had to hide it in the game, but now that even Kayaba Akihiko has been dealt with, Yushan Kazuto feels that there is no need to hide it anymore.
Seeing Yushan Kazuto suddenly go offline, Tsuchima Yui couldn't help but pout, but Yuuki Asuna pulled Tsuchima Yui back to the 99th floor and sat in the tavern in the town of the end to explain.
……
"So, the man just now was a thief who stole the company's data. Asuna, you and senior Kazuto have been entrusted by the company to defeat him in the game in order to get the data back?" Tsuchima Mai blinked slightly and said.
"Yes, it is like that."
It was naturally impossible for Yuuki Asuna to tell the truth to Tsuchima Yui, so she could only change some things slightly and make up a story.
"But... Asuna, didn't you and senior Kazuto just meet by chance on the first day you came online?" Tsuchima Mai felt a little unreliable.
"The commission was announced later, around November last year." Yuuki Asuna had already prepared an excuse.
"Is that so?" Doma puffed out his cheeks, "Why don't you ask Komaro to do it?"
"Well, maybe it's because of the confidentiality agreement. And you, Komari, have no purchase record of nervgear, so there may be no contact information." Yuuki Asuna said angrily.
Although she had rehearsed it several times, Yuuki Asuna was still a little timid when she actually spoke in front of Tsuchima Yui.
Fortunately, Domama didn't suspect too much, but instead thought about the several times that Yushan and others came home late.
"I remember that I went out with senior several times at night. Could it be that we went to discuss tactics with you, Asuna?" Doma Mai looked at Yuuki Asuna.
"Well, Senior Kazuto occasionally comes to me to discuss tactics." Yuuki Asuna could only nod reluctantly.
Tsuchima snorted softly. If that was the case, then everything seemed to make sense?
"No wonder senior Kazuto doesn't like to go online. It turns out that for him, going online is like going to work." said Doma Mai.
"But, maybe this is the reason?" Yuuki Asuna felt like she was about to burst the straitjacket.
“You can log off now,
The show will close soon.”
Suddenly, she heard the voice of Hayama Kazuto, and Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink slightly.
"Mamoru-chan, it's getting late, and I have to report the situation to the company. How about we go offline first?"
"Are we going to log off right here?" Tsuchima blinked.
"You can go back to the guild headquarters if you want." Yuuki Asuna said.
Before Yuuki Asuna could finish her words, Doma Yui had already chosen to log off and disappeared from the game.
Yuuki Asuna could only shake her head and disappeared from the world of Aincrad.
……
In the underground hiding place, Kayaba Akihiko was typing frantically on the keyboard, but the screen was still filled with garbled characters. He had been offline for several minutes, but still hadn't finished tidying up the backend.
The door slowly opened, but Kayaba Akihiko didn't notice it at all. In order not to disturb Kayaba Akihiko's work, Kamishiro Rinko often opened the door like this.
It was not until the reflection of the person coming was reflected on the black screen that Kayaba Akihiko suddenly stood up and unconsciously took a step back.
"How did you get in?"
Kayaba Akihiko didn't quite understand, but looking at the look on the other side, it seemed that he had no intention of explaining to him.
The garbled characters on the computer suddenly stopped jumping, and Kayaba Akihiko's hands instantly fell on the keyboard.
"I advise you not to act rashly."
Rinko Kamishiro's hands were tied and she was pushed slowly into the door.
Chapter 1110: Death of Kayaba Akihiko
Looking at Kamishiro Rinko, a hint of surprise flashed in Kayaba Akihiko's eyes.
Rinko Kamishiro and Akihiko Kayaba do not live in the same hiding place. Akihiko Kayaba is well aware of the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so he specially chose two hiding places to not put all his eggs in one basket.
Normally, except for eating and occasionally when she needs something, Kamishiro Rinko would not come to disturb Kayaba Akihiko.
At the same time, Kamishiro Rinko can be regarded as Kayaba Akihiko's last line of defense.
Kamishiro Rinko's hiding place is the only path leading to Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place, and Kayaba Akihiko has also built multiple escape routes next to Kamishiro Rinko's hiding place.
Firstly, this can help Rinko Kamishiro escape from danger, and secondly, it can also confuse the public.
The intersection leading to Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place is the most hidden, located in the deepest part of the storage room. Generally speaking, even if someone can find Kamishiro Rinko's hiding place, they will be led into other passages.
What's more, Kayaba Akihiko also made many arrangements for the route to Kamishiro Rinko's hiding place. According to common sense, Kamishiro Rinko should have discovered these people before anyone approached the hiding place.
When she finds someone approaching, Rinko Kamishiro will enter the escape route that has been arranged, and at the same time pass the information to Kayaba Akihiko.
In fact, Kamishiro Rinko did do so, but the combat team arrived too suddenly, and all the arrangements made by Kamishiro Rinko and Kayaba Akihiko were ineffective.
There was really no other way, so Kamishiro Rinko chose to enter the escape passage first, preparing to use the complex terrain in the escape passage to slightly shake off the combat team, and then notify Kayaba Akihiko.
But who knew that all the escape routes were controlled by the rest of the combat team, and Kamishiro Rinko was captured before she even had the chance to send a message to Kayaba Akihiko.
When the combat team escorted her to Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place, she realized that even if she had sent the message in advance, it would probably be of no use.
This group of combat teams, who came from nowhere, were even more familiar with this underground area than Kamishiro Rinko and Kayaba Akihiko.
This is indeed the case. Except for the passage that does not lead into the hiding place, all the passages are guarded by the combat team.
In addition, the combat team already knew the locations of the two hiding places, so the other passages built by Kayaba Akihiko and Kamishiro Rinko to confuse others became decorations.
After entering Rinko Kamishiro's hiding place, except for a few members who continued to track Rinko Kamishiro, the rest had already gone straight in and gathered next to Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place, waiting for instructions.
Without Kayaba Akihiko's knowledge, his hiding place had been surrounded by the combat team.
Of course, this is also closely related to the meticulous arrangements made by Hayama Kazuto. Judging from the results, Hayama Kazuto seemed to have overestimated Kayaba Akihiko.
Hayama Kazuto was mainly worried that Kayaba Akihiko would place too many technological devices near his hiding place, just like the detection devices were placed underground in the roads surrounding Hayama's house.
However, Hayama Kazuto underestimated Kayaba Akihiko's financial resources and the amount of time he had.
To achieve the effect that Yushan Kazuto imagined, a large amount of money is needed. Although Kayaba Akihiko is rich, he cannot do that.
In addition, Kayaba Akihiko's hiding place was only arranged temporarily, and it was impossible to make it perfect. Being able to achieve the current level can actually be considered quite good.
Kamishiro Rinko looked at Kayaba Akihiko with a hint of apology in her eyes. Kayaba Akihiko raised his hands, looked at the combat team, and said, "I have to admit that you won."
"You should understand why we are here." A tall man walked out. His appearance surprised Kayaba Akihiko. He was actually a white man.
He was the second-in-command of the combat team and had once been a . soldier stationed in Japan. After retiring, he did not choose to return to the United States, but instead became one of Yayoi Hayama's confidants.
"About SAO?" Kayaba Akihiko asked.
The other party's appearance made him a little confused. He originally thought that some people wanted to cross the river and destroy the bridge, but the current situation does not seem to be the case.
"Stop your anti-human experiments immediately and let the surviving players log off normally."
The white man's Japanese was not very fluent, but his powerful roar and his huge body of nearly two meters were still enough to make people feel a little nervous.
After hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko became even more certain that the other party was not his former supporter, but seemed to be from another faction.
Kayaba Akihiko's eyes moved around and his body quietly moved towards the table.
"Don't move!"
Several gun barrels were pointed at Kayaba Akihiko, who had no choice but to raise his hands and said, "I need to log back online to cancel the death game. I just want to get my nervgear."
Several team members blinked their eyes and looked at the white deputy captain, who nodded slightly, and then they put down their guns.
"I don't think you will do anything stupid." The white deputy captain threatened.
Since Kamishiro Rinko is in their hands, the combat team feels that Kayaba Akihiko should not do anything too extreme.
"By the way, let me remind you that the network here has been taken over by our people. Although it is difficult for us to block the hardware layer mechanism of NervGear, it is still possible to intercept your instructions."
Another combat member came out with a computer, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
His computer skills are in no way inferior to Kayaba Akihiko's, and his hacking skills are even slightly better.
"I know." Kayaba Akihiko glanced at Kamishiro Rinko.
"Can you let her go?"
"Everything will be decided by the law." The white deputy captain snorted coldly.
Kayaba Akihiko nodded, took a deep breath, and put on the nervgear.
"No!" Rinko Kamishiro suddenly shouted, causing the combat team to panic.
