Hearing the voice from behind, Luo Zhen stopped.
No need to turn around.
Luo Zhen knew that there was only one person who would stop him like this.
"Just wait for me!"
The ice-blue girl carried a heavy sniper rifle and ran behind Luo Zhen. She looked at Luo Zhen's back with an indescribably complicated expression.
Luo Zhen then turned around, looked behind him, and cast his gaze on the girl who was catching up.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Luo Zhen was really surprised that this girl who had a disguised hatred for him would pursue her with such a complicated expression.
In fact, Shino herself was surprised and didn't know why she caught up.
All Sinon knew was that if she didn't catch up, she would regret it.
because...
"What is your relationship with that tattered cloak?"
Shino asked the question that mattered most to her.
Luo Zhen was startled and narrowed his eyes.
"What?" Luo Zhen asked tentatively: "Do you know him?"
"No." Shino shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
"You don't know him?" Luo Zhen blinked and said helplessly: "Then why are you asking this question? You're not just concerned, are you?"
"Ugh..." Shino was speechless for a moment.
Shino also knew that she had no position in asking this question.
She had nothing to do with that shabby cloak, let alone Luo Zhen. Her relationship could only be described as bad, and there should have been no reason to be concerned about this matter.
However, no matter what, Shino couldn't let herself not care about this matter.
Whenever she thought of the confrontation between Luo Zhen and the other party, and the atmosphere that filled the air between the two, Shino felt short of breath.
That kind of atmosphere is definitely not something that can appear under ordinary circumstances.
That was the atmosphere that only appeared when they were really fighting each other and seriously wanted to take each other's lives.
Shino knew that atmosphere very well.
Because this is not the first time that Shino has experienced that kind of atmosphere.
And that was what caused Shino's lifelong nightmare.
The reason why Sinon entered GGO and became a cold sniper was to overcome this nightmare.
In this case...
"I can't help but care about this."
Shino looked directly at Luo Zhen and asked with a tense expression that was not seen before.
"I want to know what your relationship is with that tattered cloak."
Shino then made a willful request.
When it comes to other people's privacy, without any explanation, using the excuse of "I can't help but care" to question the other person, isn't this not willful
But Shino couldn't care about that much anymore.
If Shino guessed correctly...
"Is he your enemy in that game before?"
Shino hesitated to say such a sentence.
Obviously, after seeing the confrontation between Luo Zhen and the so-called broken cloak, Shino had roughly guessed what was going on.
In modern society, how can there be any situation where people seriously want to fight each other
At least, in ordinary people's society, this is impossible.
However, if it can be traced back to that incident, that is not necessarily the case.
You know, that incident was not announced to be completely resolved until a year ago. Before that, it lasted for two full years, imprisoning 10,000 players in an imaginary world, allowing them to participate in the death game at the cost of their own lives. , spend a period of real and illusory game time there.
And Luo Zhen is the clearer of the death game, and is the strongest and most famous player in the death game. This is also widely known.
In this case, the confrontation between Luo Zhen and the other party and the terrifying atmosphere can be completely explained.
That is, the two were once hostile to each other in SAO, and for some reason wanted to kill each other.
If it were in that game, something like this would very likely happen.
Shino then guessed a lot about the reason.
only...
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Luo Zhen looked directly at Shino and said, "Could it be that me being his enemy will cause you any trouble?"
This of course does not exist.
Whether it was Luo Zhen or that broken cloak, even if they fought to the death or even perished together, it had nothing to do with Shino.
Troubled
That is impossible.
If something like that really happened, Sinon would only feel like she didn't want Luo Zhen, the powerful enemy she was targeting, to be snatched away by others.
But if Luo Zhen and that broken cloak had indeed been enemies in SAO and seriously fought each other, Shino would want to know one thing.
"...Have you ever killed anyone in the game?"
Shino paused for a long time, and then finally summoned up the courage to stare at Luo Zhen closely and ask such a question.
The series of strange questions made by Shino made Luo Zhen frown and fell silent.
At that moment, Luo Zhen met Shino's gaze and looked over.
The next second, Luo Zhen saw the inquiry, determination, expectation and a trace of indescribable uneasiness in Shino's eyes.
This told Luo Zhen that it was definitely not a small matter for Shino to ask such a question.
At least, for Shino, this was definitely a big deal.
So, Luo Zhen raised his eyes, and under Shino's close gaze, he answered simply and neatly.
"Killed."
A simple sentence made Shino's breath hitch.
Killed.
Luo Zhen did kill.
Not to mention in the game, even in reality, Luo Zhen has killed countless people.
These people were all Luo Zhen's enemies. They also wanted to kill Luo Zhen, but Luo Zhen counterattacked.
Similarly, in this world, although Luo Zhen has never killed anyone blatantly, in SAO, when fighting against the members of "Smiling Coffin", Luo Zhen often does not restrain himself and tries his best to weaken their HP. value.
This is natural, right
"If I don't kill him, it will be my turn to be killed, and even the people around me will be killed."
Luo Zhen looked directly at Shino and spoke word by word.
"So, I have to kill, no matter what, I have to kill. Even if it happens again, I will still choose this way."
Such words directly penetrated into Shino's heart.
"and you... !"
Shino was so excited that she really wanted to say something.
Unfortunately, it was interrupted.
"Shino!" Mirror hurriedly ran out of the Presidential Palace and faced Shino and said quickly: "Why did you suddenly run out? Your fourth round is about to begin. If you are not in the underground venue, you will It will not be teleported into the battlefield and will be considered an automatic waiver."
Hearing this, Shino stopped moving and looked at Luo Zhen with a gloomy face.
Finally, Shino turned and left.
Without saying a word.
Mirror immediately followed, but before leaving, he glanced at Luo Zhen, with deep vigilance in his eyes.
Seeing this vigilance, Luo Zhen knew that the other party probably regarded him as a love rival.
"Little furry kid."
Luo Zhen curled his lips and left the Presidential Palace without stopping any longer.
The first day of preliminaries of the BoB competition gradually came to an end under such circumstances.
In this way, the list of thirty players who can participate in the main competition is released.
Among them, Luo Zhen's name is at the forefront, and it is also in the highest position, which is quite eye-catching.
