"Huh...huh..."
The weak breathing could not help but rise and fall from the girl's somewhat pale lips.
"Dip-dip-dip-"
Instruments such as heartbeat testing are functioning in the ward and are connected to the girl's body.
Luo Zhen came to the girl, sat next to her, looked at her blankly, and did not respond for a long time.
After a long time...
"Sorry, I'm late."
Luo Zhen spoke as if he was having a conversation with Asuna.
"I should have come earlier, but because of my affairs and various other things, I delayed it until now."
Luo Zhen began to tell.
"I know that if it were you, you would cry and tell me with a smile on your face - "Don't worry, I know you will come." "
This is the tenderness of a girl, and it is the prayer that a girl has never expected.
"Obviously I'm an idiot who only knows strategy and research, and I don't understand a bit of romance. Yet you are willing to come live with me and become Yui's mother. It's really confusing. What do you like about me?"
Luo Zhen seemed to be saying all the words he had hidden in his heart in one breath, and slowly said them sentence by sentence.
"Perhaps, when we first met on the first floor of Aincrad, you should have stabbed me to death. That would have been more satisfying."
Recalling what happened at that time, and then recalling himself at that time, Luo Zhen could only smile bitterly.
but...
"Now, I have become greedy. I really want to go on a good date with you again. Even if there is no forest on the 22nd floor and no beautiful scenery, it will still be the same."
As he spoke, Luo Zhen stretched out his hand, stroked Asuna's cheek, and even stroked her long chestnut hair. Finally, it fell on her hand and held it tightly.
"Now, let me take you back."
After finishing speaking, Luo Zhen stretched out his other hand and placed it on the helmet-shaped game console Asuna was wearing.
Within his body, the astonishing magic power that overcame the dragon's veins began to surge.
Although I don’t know why Asuna hasn’t woken up after clearing SAO, but for Luo Zhen now, it is undoubtedly very simple to revive Asuna.
For example, Luo Zhen can use magic or spells to directly call back Asuna's spirit and even soul and revive her.
For another example, Luo Zhen can launch a defensive spell on Asuna's brain and cut off the power directly. Even if the is cut off from the power or the Internet, it will immediately burn the wearer's head like a microwave oven. In defense, Under the protection of the spell, Asuna was able to wake up safely.
What's more, even if something unexpected happens to Asuna, Luo Zhen can also draw the runes for resurrection for her, and even use the "Taishanfu Lord Festival" to revive her and let her return.
In short, Luo Zhen has all the ways to save Asuna.
Rather, even if it is not the current Luo Zhen, but the Luo Zhen who was still in this world before and could not even successfully summon a superior familiar, using magic, Asuna can be saved.
Perhaps, in the eyes of people in this world, it is very difficult to conquer , but for Luo Zhen, it is just a microwave oven worn on the head. All he needs to do is protect his brain with and then cut off the power supply. , can save people at any time.
Previously, the reason why Luo Zhen could not escape from the world of SAO was just because he himself was trapped in it.
〈NERvGear〉 has the function of blocking signals from the wearer's brain. Once connected, it will be completely isolated from the real world and can only receive imaginary five-sense information.
This is a function necessary to move freely in the virtual space.
Otherwise, if the commands issued by the brain to the body in the real world are still valid, once the user in full stealth has the idea of action in the virtual space, the body in the real world will also act at the same time, then I can no longer lie indoors and enjoy the game with peace of mind.
Precisely because recycles the commands sent from the medulla oblongata to the body, and then converts the commands into digital signals for active virtual characters, players can freely run around and fight in the game.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen, who is also in the game, cannot control his body in the real world to use magic, cannot use magic to protect his brain, and cannot cut off the power supply and the Internet. As a result, he can only stay in the game world.
Now, Master Luo is outside, and it is easy to save a player who is completely sneaking in front of him.
"Buzz..."
With a faint buzzing sound, Luo Zhen first placed a magic barrier around Asuna's head, and also carved several runes on Asuna's arms.
The runes penetrated Asuna's body, filling Asuna's delicate body with abundant vitality, injecting vitality into her body that had been depleted due to two years of immobility, restoring Asuna's vitality.
Then, Luo Zhen pointed a finger on Asuna's forehead, closed his eyes, and carved another rune.
It is a pure rune that can cleanse the soul and awaken the sleeping life and soul.
Guided by this rune, sleeping spirits will be awakened and purify the body and mind of the user of the rune.
Using this rune, Luo Zhen wanted to bring Asuna's spirit back and revive her.
only...
"Um?"
Luo Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and became surprised.
Because Luo Zhen felt it.
"You actually refused?"
Yes.
Refused.
For some reason, Asuna seemed to feel that she was about to be awakened, but subconsciously she refused the guidance of the runes and refused to wake up from her deep sleep.
"what happened?"
Luo Zhen frowned tightly.
Luo Zhen never expected that Asuna would refuse to wake up.
This caught Luo Zhen somewhat off guard.
But on the other hand, Luo Zhen was relieved.
"Since Asuna's subconscious is refusing to wake up, it proves that she did not encounter some unknown danger, but that there is something she must do in this state, right?"
In this case, it at least proves that Asuna has not encountered any serious problems for the time being.
Or...
"Even if she encounters a serious problem, she must face it...?"
Luo Zhen became thoughtful.
"It seems like something is going on that I don't know about."
What is Asuna's current status
Her soul continues to be imprisoned, where is it
SAO
still...
Luo Zhen thought silently.
After a long time, Luo Zhen breathed out.
No matter what, there is one thing that I must do.
"The mystery of the three hundred players including Asuna still not waking up and continuing to sleep..."
This mystery must be solved.
Otherwise, Asuna might never wake up.
And this is the first thing Luo Zhen must do when he returns to this world.
In order to bring Asuna back.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Asuna's pretty face again.
"wait for me... "
With these words, Luo Zhen stood up and left the ward.
In the white ward, Asuna was the only one still sleeping quietly.
On his face, a tear appeared at some point and flowed down.
