"Luo Zhen?"
"President?"
"elder brother?"
"dad?"
Seeing Luo Zhen suddenly fell into silence, everyone looked at each other and felt a little uneasy again.
Probably because the atmosphere exuded by Luo Zhen now made everyone understand.
"Did...what happened?"
Kirito asked as if he was a little unsure.
Hearing this, Luo Zhen did not ignore Kirito, but nodded after the silence.
"So be it."
Luo Zhen just said that.
"Is it difficult?" Shino asked immediately, "Do you need our help?"
The others also nodded, indicating that Shino had spoken out his feelings.
but...
"If you want to say it's tricky, this can indeed be considered tricky." Luo Zhen said lightly: "It's a pity that none of you can help."
Luo Zhen actually said this very directly, leaving everyone speechless.
"What, if you don't tell us, how do you know we can't help?"
Klein was the first to couldn't help it and made an angry noise like this.
Luo Zhen raised his head, looked at everyone, and then sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm not belittling you, it's just that in fact, you really can't help." Luo Zhen said with a wry smile: "Let me tell you this, what happened this time is twice as bad as the original SAO and the old ALO The incidents are much more serious. Once it fails, it will not be a matter of thousands or hundreds of people dying, but a matter of tens of millions of lives."
"Varied... !?"
Hearing Luo Zhen's words, everyone present took a breath.
"Thousands of lives?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"This this... "
Silica, Liz, and Sachi all exclaimed.
Not to mention the girls, even everyone in the "Red Wings" showed shocked expressions, and the cheers that had been maintained not long ago disappeared in an instant.
"Luo Zhen..."
Asuna was also horrified.
Everyone looked at Luo Zhen with disbelief on their faces.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think Luo Zhen was joking, right
However, everyone present was Luo Zhen's friends, even fellow members of the same guild who had fought with Luo Zhen in SAO for two full years. Even the newcomers admired and respected Luo Zhen, and regarded Luo Zhen as his Faith and spiritual pillar.
Therefore, everyone knew very well that Luo Zhen was not someone who would joke about this kind of thing.
Not to mention, the atmosphere emanating from Luo Zhen told everyone that this was definitely not a joke.
In other words, Luo Zhen did not lie.
Everything he said was true.
certainly...
"That's something I encountered in other places. It won't affect this country, nor will it affect you. You can rest assured." Luo Zhen smiled, but said without much smile in his eyes: "But , I have been involved in it, and it is impossible to escape. Once I escape, the last hope over there will be gone, so I have to go there."
This is the message Luo Zhen chose to reveal.
Indeed, Luo Zhen no longer wants to make excuses, but he also doesn't want to tell everyone here.
After all, that is too far-fetched for ordinary people. If you really say it, even if you say it yourself, all your friends will definitely be dubious. They won't completely believe it, right
And as I have said many times before, Luo Zhen does not want mysterious concepts to interfere with the operation of the world. Naturally, it is impossible to reveal all of this kind of thing.
Therefore, Luo Zhen didn't intend to make excuses, but he also didn't intend to tell everything. He chose to tell the truth with concealment.
then...
"When I come back this time, I also want to see you all again." Luo Zhen looked around everyone and smiled helplessly: "Although it sounds a bit like seeing you for the last time, before this battle begins, I I wanted to see everyone and my friends, so I came back, and then I had to leave.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
No one thought that this was what Luo Zhen meant when he came back this time.
No one thought that such a big thing would happen to Luo Zhen.
Even though Luo Zhen didn't say what happened, you could tell from his look that this matter was extremely important.
If this matter really involves tens of millions of lives, then the seriousness is definitely unusual compared to the matters of the original SAO and the old ALO.
You know, in the death game designed by Kayaba Akihiko in the original SAO, the final death toll was only a few thousand people. Needless to say, the old ALO only involved the lives of 300 people. Later, These three hundred people were also saved because of Luo Zhen's efforts.
These two incidents are enough to cause panic and attention in society. Now, even incidents involving tens of millions of lives have occurred. There is no need to think about the severity.
Therefore, even if Luo Zhen did not tell the specifics of what happened, but also said that this incident would not affect the country, everyone's hearts still completely sank.
Not to mention, even if others are fine, Luo Zhen may not be.
Because Luo Zhen himself said that he had been involved, and if he didn't go back, there would be no hope of solving the matter.
No one doubts this statement.
After all, whether in the original SAO or the old ALO, Luo Zhen was everyone's hope.
Even Shino remembered the desperate situation she encountered in GGO and all the times Luo Zhen saved her, and she unconsciously held her hands.
This man has always been everyone's hope, and this time it will definitely be the same.
"Really...is there really nothing we can do to help?"
Yuuki couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.
The same goes for everyone in "Sleeping Knight".
It was Luo Zhen who saved their lives, and it was Luo Zhen who gave them hope.
Therefore, they also did not doubt Luo Zhen.
Because of this, Luo Zhen must say...
"No." Luo Zhen said very directly: "This is something that only I can solve, and it is also something that I must solve."
These words made everyone fall silent again.
"dad... "
Yui hugged Luo Zhen tightly with a worried look on her face.
"elder brother... "
Leafa couldn't help but hug Luo Zhen.
Everyone cast worried glances at Luo Zhen, feeling extremely concerned about his safety.
Faced with such a big thing, who would believe that there is no danger to life
However, there is nothing anyone can do.
Since Luo Zhen said so, it must be the case.
No one can help.
As for stopping Luo Zhen, no one could do it.
Otherwise, what should we do with the tens of millions of lives
They gained hope because of Luo Zhen. Can they stop Luo Zhen from bringing hope to others
cannot.
They can't be so selfish.
Luo Zhen looked at the silent crowd. He was about to say something, but his palms tightened.
A hand, at some point, held him tightly.
Luo Zhen turned his head and looked over.
There, Asuna stared at him closely, with extreme worry in her eyes.
