When he came back this time, Luo Zhen was both nostalgic and surprised.
After all, as far as Luo Zhen himself is concerned, he has been away from this world for more than decades. It is far more than just the two years he was imprisoned in SAO in the eyes of outsiders, and it is not only the two months he disappeared.
Returning after decades and being able to see his family in this world again, Luo Zhen couldn't help but miss them no matter how perfect his mood was, and he couldn't help but feel a little longing and sadness in his heart.
However, compared to this, Luo Zhen was more surprised that SAO had already been cleared.
You know, when he left this world, Luo Zhen thought that he had not defeated Heathcliff, let alone cleared the game. The people he knew were still imprisoned in SAO and had not yet come out.
Only now did Luo Zhen learn from Kirito that he had defeated Heathcliff and liberated the players in SAO.
Therefore, two months ago, players imprisoned in SAO had already survived and were reunited with their families.
Including Kirito, the same is true.
This made Luo Zhen both relieved and worried.
Rest assured, naturally, after learning that SAO had been liberated when he left, he no longer had to worry about whether the people he cared about would still be struggling in the game, and they still didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Originally, Luo Zhen had already made preparations. When he came back this time, he must rescue Kirito and others. Who would have thought that everyone had already come back, which made Luo Zhen feel relieved.
As for the worries, they were directed at Yui.
"I wonder how Yui is doing."
Luo Zhen felt somewhat worried.
After completing the game, Yui, the artificial intelligence in SAO, is still in an unknown state.
If something went wrong on Yui's side because of clearing the game, it would be big trouble.
Therefore, Luo Zhen has made up his mind to find a way to find Yui and see if he can get Yui out of SAO.
Luo Zhen was really interested in this cheap daughter.
Therefore, it is impossible for Luo Zhen to just sit idly by and ignore Yui's matter.
However, there are still many things that need to be resolved before that.
For example, if you disappear without reason, you still have to explain it clearly after you reunite with your family.
This is one of the reasons why there are police officers here.
The death game incident planned by Kayaba Akihiko has already caused a nationwide sensation.
With tens of thousands of players imprisoned in the game world without freedom, and people continue to die, the country cannot sit idly by.
It is said that after the SAO incident, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications established an SAO incident emergency response team to conduct comprehensive management and rescue operations for the SAO incident.
Unfortunately, in the past two years, this group has accomplished almost nothing.
Because the server designed by Kayaba Akihiko is not only difficult to invade, but even if it can be invaded, there is no way to guarantee that the protection program set by Kayaba Akihiko will not be triggered. If one is not careful, the heads of 10,000 players may be hacked together. Cooked.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to touch SAO's servers, and there was not enough technology to solve the imprisonment problem caused by complete stealth, leaving the country almost helpless.
Therefore, all the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' SAO incident emergency response team could do was to transfer the victims to facilities with complete medical equipment to maintain the lives of all players.
In addition, they can also present a very small number of player files and make them known to the outside world.
Thanks to this, and the testimonies provided by the survivors after they woke up, the country already knew that Luo Zhen was an extremely important figure in the SAO incident. Not only was he the leader of the strategy team, but he also provided a protective umbrella for many players. Even Kayaba Akihiko, whose ID was Heathcliff, was defeated by Luo Zhen, and thus rescued all the players, causing the higher-ups to pay special attention to Luo Zhen's affairs.
However, Luo Zhen disappeared for two months without any reason while clearing customs in SAO. It was only today that he suddenly appeared in the hospital ward and was discovered by a nurse.
To sum up, not only the staff in the hospital were alerted, but also the high-level officials of the country were alerted, causing the police and some related personnel to come here.
Now that Luo Zhen has been reunited with his family, they naturally want to interrogate Luo Zhen.
Of course Luo Zhen cooperated.
only...
"I don't know why I disappeared."
Luo Zhen gave this answer directly.
Luo Zhen told everyone that he had no idea that he had disappeared for two months. After dealing with Heathcliff and freeing himself from SAO, he woke up at this time.
As for what happened in the middle, I have no idea.
This made everyone feel shocked and looked at each other with confusion, and some even didn't believe it at all.
If this is the case, even if Luo Zhen was abducted before waking up, he has been lying on the hospital bed for more than two years, and has been maintaining his body functions through infusions and other methods, and has never eaten during this period, so it stands to reason , the body function should have been weakened to the extreme, and even walking has become a problem.
In fact, Kirito has undergone very arduous rehabilitation in the past two months, and so have the other SAO players. There are still many people who cannot be discharged from the hospital.
On the other hand, Luo Zhen was not only alive and kicking, but also full of energy. It didn't look like he had been lying unconscious for so long.
In this case, of course others would be suspicious.
But this has nothing to do with Luo Zhen.
"Anyway, it was like this when I woke up. I really don't know anything about the rest. I'm still surprised myself."
Luo Zhen only insisted on this statement.
As a result, everyone who couldn't figure out why they came had no choice but to leave.
Only the Kiritani family was left in the ward, continuing to comfort each other with the joy of being reunited.
"To be honest, after knowing that you were missing, I really didn't know what to do. When I thought that you would probably never come back, I hated myself. Why didn't I rush out and be with you at that time? Let’s face Heathcliff together.”
Kirito looked really remorseful.
If you look closely, you can see that there are dark circles under Kirito's eyelids. His body also looks much thinner than before due to the fact that he has not yet finished his rehabilitation. His face is also very pale. You can tell at a glance how unhealthy his body is.
But this is the result after two months of nursing.
Now, Kirito has been discharged from the hospital and can go home, but he has been worried about Luo Zhen's affairs. The past two months have not been very good.
Even Kirito is like this, not to mention Kiritani Sui and Suguha who have been separated from Luo Zhen for two years.
"Really, don't scare me anymore, I'm afraid I really can't bear it."
As Tong Gucui spoke, her eyes turned red again.
Suguha's eyes were red from the beginning, and she held Luo Zhen's arm and never let go from the beginning to the end.
This made Luo Zhen a little surprised and a little relieved.
Before entering SAO, Suguha had a huge gap with herself and Kirito. They were no longer as close as they were when they were children, and they were completely like strangers to each other.
But now, Suguha seems to have returned to the clingy look she had when she was a child. She doesn't speak and just holds Luo Zhen's hand, as if she is afraid that Luo Zhen will disappear again, which makes people very distressed.
"Am I back now?"
Luo Zhen then spoke softly to everyone.
Luo Zhen was quite touched by this kind of ordinary concern and love for his family. It was rare that he took the trouble to comfort everyone.
after...
"Kirito."
Luo Zhen looked at Kirito.
"Do you know how everyone is doing?"
Luo Zhen began to ask about such things.
