Yui Doma and Asuna Yuuki can no longer enter the virtual world through the nervgear, but Kazuto Hayama does not have this problem.
"You... won." Kayaba Akihiko stared at Yushan Kazuto and said hatefully.
Even though Hayama Kazuto destroyed all his arrangements, Kayaba Akihiko still couldn't help but admire Hayama Kazuto.
Not only is his technical ability better than mine, but he is also good at understanding people's psychology.
"That's good to know." Yushan Heren smiled.
"From now on, you will be my father's staff, responsible for some technical matters. Of course, it's okay to give advice occasionally. As long as you don't deliberately play tricks, you can maintain your safety until fifty years later."
Kayaba Akihiko looked at Hayama Kazuto, and although he wanted to say something harsh, considering Kamishiro Rinko, he finally nodded.
"Rinko's place?"
"As for her side, it will still be handled through legal means, but based on the situation here, it seems that you haven't let her participate too much in many things?" Yushan Heren said.
Kayaba Akihiko nodded.
"It turns out that you have already prepared a way out for her." Yushan Heren smiled.
"She will probably have to go to jail, but it won't be for long. What I can do is to help her improve her living conditions a little bit. You will see all this in your weekly video calls." Yushan Heren said.
Kayaba Akihiko couldn't help but lower his brows. Yushan Kazuto really had him under his control. If he did anything unsatisfactory, Kamishiro Rinko would probably not have an easy time either.
"I will do my best to cooperate." Kayaba Akihiko said.
"It seems that you have become more sensible, unlike before." Yushan Heren smiled.
"Before?" Kayaba Akihiko stared at Yushan Kazuto and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"The laboratory where you are studying in university was invested and built by my mother." Yushan Heren said.
"At the beginning, my mother saw that your level of quantum physics was a little lower and you were more suitable to be an engineer, so she invited you to join my company, but you flatly refused at that time."
Kayaba Akihiko recalled in his mind that something like this seemed to have happened when he was in college.
He remembered that a kid came to him with a contract and negotiated with him about it.
The conditions were very tempting, but at that time
Chang Jingyan was proud and wanted to decipher the ultimate mysteries of the physical universe. In addition, he felt that it was somewhat disrespectful to let a child sign a contract with him, so he simply refused.
However, he did not expect that it would be several years later that Kayaba Akihiko would truly understand that his initial assessment of himself was correct. He was not suitable to be a quantum physicist, but was more suitable to be an information engineer.
After failing in the field of quantum physics, Kayaba Akihiko focused on information research. He hoped to create a new world in the information world that is very different from reality.
Since it is impossible to decipher the mysteries of the real world, then create a new world that belongs entirely to yourself. Kayaba Akihiko's train of thought is quite strange.
But I didn't expect that I would fall again on the road to creating a new world.
And the kid who held the contract and confidently told Kayaba Akihiko "You are not suitable to be a successful quantum physicist" has now defeated himself again.
"You are... the kid from back then?" Kayaba Akihiko asked.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
Kayaba Akihiko was silent for a while. If he had chosen to sign the contract at the beginning, would the development of the matter be completely different?
"Don't think about it. Everything has passed. In fact, you didn't meet the requirements of an information engineer at the time. You were just barely talented." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Chapter 1127 After all, I am not a sentimental person.
"Can I ask two questions?" Kayaba Akihiko said with a slight blink.
"Go ahead, only two." Yushan Heren made a "two" gesture.
"What was that little girl who appeared next to me yesterday?"
Thinking of Hui-chan, Kayaba Akihiko felt a little scared. The moment he saw Hui-chan, he even felt like he saw his natural enemy.
"Are you talking about Hui-chan?" Yushan Kazuto blinked.
A little girl appeared next to Yushan Kazuto: "Father, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Father?" Kayaba Akihiko blinked and couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto.
"She is an artificial intelligence program I developed, so there is no problem with her calling me father." Yushan Heren said.
"What a boring show-off." Hui-chan couldn't help but say, her little face turned a little red, and she disappeared on the spot in an instant.
It was obvious that she was shy.
Kayaba Akihiko was a little stunned. The other party was actually an artificial intelligence program. This level of intelligence was much more powerful than the ones he had developed himself.
"She is...strongly intelligent?" After thinking for a long time, Kayaba Akihiko spoke slowly.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded and did not deny it.
Kayaba Akihiko suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Yushan was so talented that he directly developed a powerful intelligent system.
"It seems you have asked your two questions." Yushan Kazuto blinked. It seemed that Kayaba Akihiko had asked the question twice just now.
"Wait a moment."
Kayaba Akihiko then realized that he had wasted an opportunity to ask a question when he was confirming whether Hui-chan was a strong intelligence.
"Forget it, I'll give you another chance." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"Sao, what are you going to do?"
The picture on TV clearly turned into the scene of SAO again. The SAO server was still not shut down, and there were still thousands of players working hard to level up in the game.
"You should know that there are many criminals in the game." Yushan Heren said.
Kayaba Akihiko lowered his head. The red-named players in the game all had lives on their hands.
Although this is to provide the other party with a space for indulgence, there is no problem at all in calling him a criminal.
"These people must be dealt with through legal procedures, but if we shut down the sao server rashly, it will likely give them the opportunity to escape."
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to control these people first and then shut down SAO?"]
Kayaba Akihiko blinked, not considering this aspect, and nodded.
"Please prepare yourself. I will hand you over to my father in a moment. For safety reasons, I will limit your copying ability. I hope you understand."
Kayaba Akihiko nodded. It was understandable to limit the replication ability. If he could still replicate himself, even if Hui-chan's intelligence was far superior to his, he could still deal with Hui-chan through simple large-scale replication.
When Yushan Kazuto clenched his fist, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly felt as if he was restrained by something.
This feeling was fleeting, and when he looked up again, Yushan Heren had disappeared from the spot.
……
After handing over Kayaba Akihiko to Hayama Yayoi, Hayama Kazuto picked up his mobile phone. Hui-chan had previously reminded him that he had received a message, but Hayama Kazuto had never had time to deal with it.
When he opened his phone, he saw that it was a message from Yuuki Asuna. Yuyama Kazuto's heart tightened, but he still clicked on the message from Yuuki Asuna.
Yuuki Asuna sent several messages. The first one was sent half an hour ago, and the most recent one was sent eight minutes ago.
"Kazuto-senpai, are you there?"
Seeing that Yuyama Kazuto had not replied and the message did not show as read, Yuuki Asuna finally got a little braver.
"Please don't misunderstand what happened last night and don't take it to heart."
After sending this message, Yuuki Asuna still felt something was wrong. She thought for a long time before sending a new message.
"Well... it's just to thank you, there's nothing else to it. Mainly, I want to thank you for taking care of me during this period, and for your help to my family."
Seeing that the message was sent but received no response, Yuuki Asuna sent the last message:
"It seems that you are busy, Senior Kazuto. I won't bother you any more."
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. Was that kiss just to thank him?
This situation seems to make sense. Confirming in advance whether you are dating Tsuchimiya may be a way to avoid certain things.
However, I am not dating Tsuchima Yui, but I am dating Kato Megumi.
Yushan Heren took a deep breath, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to reply:
"I was taking a shower just now. Sorry for not replying in time."
"I didn't misunderstand what happened tonight. After all, I'm not a sentimental person. You don't have to take it too seriously."
The cell phone suddenly rang, and Asuna Yuuki hurriedly picked up the phone. After seeing the reply from Kazuto Yuyama, she felt relieved, but also a little sad.
No wonder Hayama Kazuto didn't get together with Tsuchima Umi. It turns out that Hayama Kazuto is so slow in feelings. Yuuki Asuna actually hopes that Hayama Kazuto can be a little more sentimental.
"Speaking of thanks, I should be the one thanking you. After all, without your help, Sao's matter wouldn't have ended so quickly."
Yushan Kazuto's message came again.
Yuuki Asuna blinked slightly: "This is what I should do."
"That being said, it's still a bit unfair to you to have you live in that small house for several months." Yushan Heren responded quickly.
"If I hadn't had your help, I might have been trapped in SAO for several years, or even...failed in the death game, which is not impossible."
Kazuto Yuyama took a deep breath. What Yuuki Asuna said made sense. After all, Nobuyuki Sugo could send more than a dozen people into the game just to get rid of Yuuki Asuna.
Originally, his order was to kill Koichiro Yuuki, but Asuna Yuuki accidentally entered the game, and the mission target naturally shifted to Asuna Yuuki.
If it weren't for Kazuto Hayama who rescued Asuna Yuuki in advance, her fate would be unknown now.
"Anyway, the matter of Sao has been put to rest, and I have fulfilled my promise to resolve this matter before the start of the new school year."
"Next, Asuna, you should think carefully about further studies. If you want to enter Shuchiin, you still have to take the exam."
The academic promise made by Yayoi Hayama did not include top private schools such as Shuchiin, but with Yuuki Asuna's academic ability, it should not be too difficult for her to get into Shuchiin with a little review.
Chapter 1128: Xing's Awakening
Lying on the bed, Xing still felt a little unreal.
The previous second, he was still in SAO, leveling up with Yue Ye's Black Cat Group companions, but he didn't expect that the next second, he would be back in the real world.
Feeling the weight and pressure of the nervgear, Xingcai finally confirmed that he had returned to reality.
Xing tried to get up with some difficulty, but found that she had no strength at all. There was a glucose bottle connected to her arm, and it was the energy supplement that maintained her life.
A large number of players died in the early stage of sao. In addition to the chaotic game order and hostility among players in the beginning, an important reason was that many single players did not get energy replenishment in time and starved to death.
Lying in bed, Xing recalled what had happened in the past few days.
For several days in a row, she didn't see the three leaders of the Knights Templar.
Originally, Xing thought that it was because he had been working hard to level up in the past few days, which caused him to return to the Knights at a different time from Yushan and others.
But the current situation has given Xing some other thoughts.
[Could it be that the three team leaders disappeared these days to secretly attack the 100th floor? ]
After much thought, Xing could only guess this result. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, Yushan and the other two defeated the final boss quietly. She had originally wanted to work hard to level up so that it would at least have some effect in the final battle, but this idea ended up being dashed.
With some difficulty, he took off the nervgear with one hand, and fortunately he could see the whole surroundings.
This is not my home, this should be a hospital or a nursing home.
It was probably late at night and there was no one else around, which provided Xing with a quiet space.
[Obviously, I should be happy to have escaped from that death game, but why can't I be happy at all? ]
Xing felt a little strange. Recalling the scenes in SAO, there was a figure that kept circling in her mind.
[Unfortunately, I don’t even have the courage to ask him for a friend status, let alone his contact information. ]
There was a hint of bitterness on Xing's face, and he seemed to be mocking himself.
Before in SAO, although I rarely talked to Yushan Kazuto, at least I could still see Yushan Kazuto a few times every day.
But now, she has no contact with Yushan Heren at all.
Xing took a deep breath and lay weakly on the bed, but the cell phone beside the bed rang.
Xing turned his head and couldn't help but blink slightly. The phone was connected to the charging cable, which was a big reason why it was still working.
Otherwise, after being unconscious for such a long time, the phone would have run out of battery long ago.
"Mother?"
