After scolding Luo Zhen and Kirito severely, everyone finally let them go.
No matter what, everyone is very happy to be together again after a long absence.
Even in normal times, everyone would log in to ALO and meet in the guild. The only missing person was Luo Zhen, who was not too scattered, but Luo Zhen had become the backbone of everyone no matter what the occasion. , without him, even if everyone gets together, they will feel that something very important is missing. Therefore, when Luo Zhen arrives, the group will be complete.
In Klein's words...
"Although my boss Luo Zhen really needs a beating sometimes, he is still very kind. If anyone excludes him, I will be the first to refuse!"
Klein was always envious and jealous of Luo Zhen.
"Damn it! It doesn't matter that he is so handsome! He is so rich! He has such a beautiful girlfriend! He even has a daughter! What a bastard! Go to hell!"
This is what Klein is thinking.
There is no way, in this group, Klein is the most miserable man.
Needless to say, Luo Zhen, Asuna is not only his girlfriend, but also his fiancée. There is indeed no shortage of money. His daughter is also cute and sensible, and she will definitely reach the peak of her life in the future.
Although Kirito is not as good as Luo Zhen, he is currently being pursued by Liz and Xing. You can understand the bitterness of this just thinking about it.
Not to mention Agil, they are all married, and the wife is also very beautiful, very capable and virtuous. Even Asuna has asked her to teach her how to cook and do housework.
After all this calculation, Klein is still single, and he is still a standard social animal. He has to go to work and work overtime in the company all day long. If you want to say it is sad, it is indeed very sad.
In such a miserable situation, and still being in such a group of winners in life, as the only single dog, it was impossible for Klein not to be envious, jealous, and resentful.
Of course, this is just the normal way of getting along and joking among people. There is no real criticism, and it will pass after talking and laughing.
Fortunately, there are almost no customers in Agil's shop during the day, and it only gets very lively at night. No one will say anything about the fights between Luo Zhen and others. Even Agil, the shop owner, is in an encouraging attitude. Otherwise, if a group of students and one or two members of the public gathered together in a bar to have fun, they would have been warned or even driven away.
As a result, everyone spent the party in laughter and laughter.
Then...
"By the way, Boss Luo Zhen, it's been a week since you joined GGO. As you can see from the news on the Internet this week, you've been doing a lot of trouble, but have you gained anything in the end?"
Klein held a glass of wine and drank happily while looking at Luo Zhen and raising such a concerning question.
Hearing this, everyone also looked at Luo Zhen.
"Yes, brother Luo Zhen, have you found the ?"
Silica asked quickly.
"Have you been playing games all the time and forgotten the main purpose?"
Liz became suspicious.
"Suguha-chan, do you know how the president gained in GGO?"
Sachi turned his attention to Suguha.
"I do not know either."
Suguha was helpless.
"We have asked him several times at home, but every time he just said, "It's still under investigation, don't worry." "
Kirito also looked helpless.
"In other words, there is still no progress?"
Agil crossed his arms and pondered.
"After all, will the really target famous players?"
Asuna tilted her head and asked such a question, making everyone frown.
Indeed, it is currently unclear whether "Death Gun" will really target famous players.
So far, only two players have died at the hands of "Death Gun". Those two players are indeed powerful players in GGO with both strength and reputation, but in the end, they only have that in common.
Maybe the reason why is targeting them is not because they are famous, but for another reason
Maybe "Death Gun" just accidentally selected two particularly famous people when choosing targets
In addition to their prominent reputations, the two deceased persons were likely to have other reasons for being targeted.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Zhen's approach may be of no use, and it is impossible to lead to the whereabouts of "Death Gun".
Almost all of the people present were from SAO. No matter how naive they were, they would not be so naive. It was almost instinctive to assume the worst case scenario.
Therefore, everyone was a little worried whether Luo Zhen was just doing useless work.
Who would have thought...
"...Don't worry, I have already gained something."
Luo Zhen paused slightly in his toasting motion, and after a moment of silence, he spoke indifferently.
Hearing these words, everyone's spirits were lifted.
"Have you gained anything yet?"
Everyone quickly gathered around Luo Zhen.
Suddenly, Luo Zhen was surrounded by everyone.
"Have you discovered the whereabouts of ?"
"Has he already set his sights on you?"
"Then are you in danger?"
"Did you find anything?"
Everyone was talking one after another, looking very anxious.
Obviously, everyone no longer cares about this matter.
A week ago, everyone was already paying special attention to the "Death Gun" matter. Now, Luo Zhen finally found some clues, and it was impossible for everyone not to feel anxious.
Especially Asuna.
"What happened?"
Asuna looked directly at Luo Zhen, her face looking very serious.
Luo Zhen glanced at Asuna and then at the people around him.
immediately...
"I saw ."
Luo Zhen said this in a deadpan manner.
"Moreover, I have basically confirmed the identity of ."
What is your identity
"."
Luo Zhen still told this fact.
"If I'm not mistaken, then "Death Gun" is the remnant of "Smiling Coffin"."
As soon as these words came out...
"—!"
Everyone present looked stiff, their pupils shrank, and even their breathing stagnated, frozen there.
"...!?"
Kirito and Klein stood up immediately, their faces full of shock.
"How...how could...!?"
Silica, Liz, and Sachi were also shocked, leaving Agil stunned.
Only Suguha looked at a loss.
"Wha... what is the "Smiling Coffin"? What's wrong with everyone?"
Suguha, who was not a SAO player, looked confused.
"..."
As for Asuna, she didn't know when she grabbed Luo Zhen's arm with force.
"〈Smiling Coffin〉..."
Asuna bit her lip.
The entire bar suddenly became extremely silent and heavy.
Everyone was left speechless for a long time.
