When Luo Zhen chose to log out, he thought he would wake up on the bed in his room immediately.
However, Luo was really wrong.
After a burst of light, Luo Zhen discovered that instead of logging out, he had entered a space as dark as a black hole, but with incredible stars twinkling.
"here it is... ?"
Luo Zhen suddenly frowned.
But soon, Luo Zhen knew why he entered this space.
the reason is simple.
"Although I know you have important things to do, before that, let us see each other one last time."
Such a sound suddenly came from a very far away place and reached Luo Zhen's ears.
And Luo Zhen's memory was suddenly awakened by this voice.
Because Luo Zhen was quite familiar with this voice.
In the world of SAO, Luo Zhen has heard it many times.
"Kayaba Akihiko..."
The owner of the voice was none other than Kayaba Akihiko.
"long time no see."
With these words, a figure in a white coat appeared in front of Luo Zhen as if he slowly walked out of the dark space.
Who else could it be besides Kayaba Akihiko
Luo Zhen looked at Kayaba Akihiko and narrowed his eyes.
"Unexpectedly, you also came to this world."
Luo Zhen spoke calmly.
Luo Zhen really didn't expect that Kayaba Akihiko was here.
What Luo Zhen didn't expect was that Kayaba Akihiko would actually come into contact with him in this situation.
"Aren't you afraid of leaking some clues in front of me and having me provide them to the police, exposing your whereabouts in the real world?"
Luo Zhen made a sound like a smile but not a smile.
At present, the whereabouts of Kayaba Akihiko is still a mystery. The country has mobilized almost all its forces to find and arrest the most vicious criminal since the founding of the country. It is conceivable that as long as Kayaba Akihiko leaks the slightest flaw, then He will be found immediately and imprisoned.
Under such circumstances, choosing to show up in front of Luo Zhen can only be said that Kayaba Akihiko is still the same Kayaba Akihiko, full of courage.
However, Luo Zhen actually thought wrong about this matter.
"Even if I am really found in the real world, it will have nothing to do with who I am now."
Kayaba Akihiko met Luo Zhen's gaze and replied to Luo Zhen with his magnetic, distinctive voice and calm face.
"It doesn't matter?"
Luo Zhen was immediately startled.
Seeing Luo Zhen like this, Kayaba Akihiko spoke calmly like Luo Zhen just now.
"I have decided a long time ago that when SAO collapses, I will end my life."
"On that day in November 2024, when the world called SAO collapsed, the existence people called "Kayaba Akihiko" died with it. "
Hearing such words, Luo Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
If that's the case, what's going on with Kayaba Akihiko in front of him
Could it be...
"It seems you have guessed it." Kayaba Akihiko showed a rare smile and said: "Although I chose death, before I died, I used a machine made after modifying the complete stealth system to mutilate my brain. Perform an ultra-high-density scan, causing the entire brain to be burned to death, just like those players who died in SAO."
When he said this, there was no guilt or guilt in Kayaba Akihiko's tone, but it was as if he wanted to carry out the sentence "There is a beginning and an end" as a matter of course.
Whatever method you use to kill those players who participate in the death game, then use whatever method you use to kill yourself.
Kayaba Akihiko just wanted to explain this.
The only difference is...
"My scanning method has a probability of less than one thousandth that it can convert all my own memories and thoughts, that is, the electrical reactions inside my brain, into digital codes, turning my brain into a real computer. , exists in the network.”
Kayaba Akihiko said this.
"The person I am now is just an echo and afterimage of the existence named "Kayaba Akihiko." "
In view of this, Kayaba Akihiko would say that how he is in the real world has nothing to do with who he is now.
Because he has died in the real world, and now he is an undead that only exists in the online world, the virtual world, and the game world.
If others knew about this, they would definitely be shocked and horrified.
However, as someone who has witnessed various mysterious and incredible phenomena, Luo Zhen is not surprised.
In a nutshell...
"You escaped from the real world to the imaginary world, right?" Luo Zhen curled his lips and said: "I have seen people going abroad to escape crimes, and I have even seen people hiding in order to escape crimes. I have never seen people leaving the country to escape crimes. By jumping from reality to the Internet, you really created a new way of escaping crime."
Speaking of this, Luo Zhen's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Kayaba Akihiko didn't care.
"The meaning of my existence was completed when the floating city collapsed. In this case, I have no reason to stay in the real world."
Kayaba Akihiko raised his eyes and looked at Luo Zhen.
"If you hate me, hate me for locking you and the people around you and even 10,000 players in the death game for two years, and therefore want to sanction me and let me get the punishment I deserve, Then I can only say sorry to you."
That's what he said, but Kayaba Akihiko was obviously unapologetic.
For this genius scientist, he is just doing what he should do, and doing such things in order to realize his dream. The feelings of guilt, guilt, etc. have long been felt before he decided to do this. When the time came, they all were thrown away.
certainly...
"It can't be said as an apology, but as someone who has crossed swords before, I will give this gift to you."
Saying that, Kayaba Akihiko raised a hand.
In his hand, at some point, a luminous object appeared.
It was a very dazzling and dazzling crystal that seemed to have the universe moving inside and nebulae flowing inside.
The crystal is egg-shaped and completely transparent, allowing people to clearly see the movement of the universe and the changes in nebulae inside it.
Kayaba Akihiko raised his hand, and the luminous object flew out lightly and fell into Luo Zhen's arms.
"What's this?"
Luo Zhen subconsciously took it and asked blankly.
"This is the seed of the world."
Kayaba Akihiko replied expressionlessly.
"The seed of the world?"
Luo Zhen was thoughtful.
Kayaba Akihiko's voice became distant.
"I don't know if it can help you, let alone what consequences its appearance will bring."
"Now, I'll give it to you. You can use it however you want."
"I hope that one day in the future, we will meet again in the corner of the imaginary world."
"Well, farewell, hero."
As soon as the words fell, Kayaba Akihiko's figure disappeared unknowingly.
Luo Zhen looked at the empty dark space. After being silent for a while, his figure also disappeared.
As for the crystal in Luo Zhen's arms, he naturally left with it.
The dark space collapsed, turning this conversation into a dream.
