Although he has decided to find out the rapier who committed the crime, it is not that easy to do it.
"The labyrinth area on the first floor of Aincrad has a diameter of three hundred meters and is in the shape of a tower. Even if it is only one of the floors, its area is still three hundred meters. In addition, it is still It is a maze with complicated roads, many shadows and corners, and the opponent has a high proficiency in the "Concealment" skill. It is undoubtedly very difficult to find the rapier user in such a place."
This is a problem Luo Zhen explained to the girl.
Of course, the girl will not know that this matter is not easy.
"Perhaps, the other party may have already left the maze area."
No matter who you are, you will think so before looking for someone, right
However, Luo Zhen denied this.
"That rapier user has already caused public outrage. The player group here cannot let the opponent escape easily. Therefore, some of the players must be searching carefully for places that can leave the seventeenth floor of the maze area. The opponent will definitely not be able to simply Just leave.”
The evidence is that Luo Zhen left the seventeenth floor with the rapier girl and went to the nineteenth floor, when he also encountered these players.
However, Luo Zhen relied on his familiarity with the entire maze area and the map files of all places except the 20th floor. After a round of detours and turnovers, he successfully avoided the player's search.
"And I don't think that an orange player who just wants to attack people from behind will carefully record the map files of the maze area. Map files that are more detailed than what I have on hand should not be in circulation yet. Therefore, the other party cannot do what we can. After going round and round, he must still be wandering on the seventeenth floor."
This is Luo Zhen's reasoning.
So, the only question left is that.
"How do we find the rapier user?"
In the cave space on the 19th floor, the girl asked Luo Zhen this question.
"It wouldn't be easy to find the opponent if he has a highly proficient skill, right?"
If not, the other players would have dug it out long ago.
But Luo Zhen answered without hesitation.
"Find a team of players with the lowest defense and stay around them. In this case, the opponent will jump out on their own."
There are two reasons for thinking so.
"1: Since the other party is able to commit such public outrage, it must have attacked many player teams. If it is so persistent in attacking players and unable to leave here, the other party will definitely continue to look for its prey, and will not stop doing anything to kill these players. Do it to the end.”
"Two: The opponent's weapon is a rapier with low attack power, and it is an assassin who has practiced the "Concealment" skill. For the opponent, the best person to attack is a player with low defense, so that he can have a chance to strike. Must be killed."
Because of this, Luo Zhen, who was dressed in cloth, seemed to have low defense, and was alone, was targeted by the rapier user.
To sum up, Luo Zhen would come to this conclusion.
"As long as we find a team of players with generally low defense and guard around them, we will definitely be able to wait until the rapier makes him jump out."
Therefore, Luo Zhen and the girl left the 19th floor together and returned to the 17th floor. They successfully found a team of players whose defense was generally low and hid in the dark to monitor them.
Of course, there are risks.
"If we don't wait for the target to appear, but are discovered by the players, then our fun will be great, right?"
Luo Zhen said something that was not funny at all without any nervousness.
It's really not funny.
If the player team discovers the two of them, things will definitely turn out badly.
Just think about it, a beta tester who is hated by many people is hiding in the dark with a rapier user named Tachibana who is probably the criminal who attacked the player, watching him with eager eyes. What will the other party think
You will definitely feel that Luo Zhen and the girl are planning to do something evil.
By then, it will be a trivial matter to have a conflict, but it will be a big deal to fight over it.
Even with the skills of Luo Zhen and the girl, even if they face a whole team of top players at the same time, they can't defeat them and they can't escape. But if it really happens, then the criminals who really want to solve the problem can just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. It’s time to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
"That's the way things are, so please don't have indifferent thoughts and act however you want."
"... You don't need to remind me."
In this way, after the two of them finished their discussion, they relied on Luo Zhen's map file and went around for a while before returning to the seventeenth floor of the maze area.
Then it’s just a matter of waiting.
"It's okay if you can relieve your nerves."
Luo Zhen spoke in a low voice to the girl behind him without looking back.
"Who is nervous?"
The girl immediately returned the favor.
in addition…
"Don't keep calling me you, you, you, I have a name."
The girl protested in a low voice.
"Really?" Luo Zhen said, not too interested, "Then what's your name?"
The girl did not answer immediately, as if she was considering whether to state her name.
It wasn't until soon that the other party sighed and answered like this.
"asuna is my character name."
asuna.
That's Asuna, right
Luo Zhen said this immediately after learning the character name of the girl with the rapier.
"Isn't this actually the spelling of your name in real life? Like Asuna or something like that?"
These words made the girl named Asuna tremble all over.
… It’s such an easy-to-understand reaction.
Luo Zhen muttered in his heart.
at this time…
"Woo!"
The rainbow butterfly that had been floating above the two of them screamed as if it suddenly discovered something.
Luo Zhen and Asuna reacted immediately and looked at the team of players in front.
The next second, the two of them saw it.
Behind the player team, in the shadows at the corner of a path, a cloaked figure held a rapier and an orange cursor, attacking the player team in front at extremely fast speeds.
If you look closely, you can see that because the player team defeated the monster, when the monster turned into polygonal fragments and exploded, all their attention was attracted to it.
Taking advantage of this moment, the rapier user sprang out from the shadows that no one noticed and attacked the back of one of the players.
However, that player was not only a dagger wielder wearing leather armor, but his defense was not very high. His HP gauge had also been reduced by one-third due to the battle with the monster just now.
If the opponent were to sneak attack with sword skills now, that player's HP gauge would definitely drop to the red zone in one breath.
even…
"…!"
Beside Luo Zhen, Asuna, who was holding the rapier hilt tightly, rushed out without any hesitation.
In this charge, his figure was so fast that it was as if he could bring up an afterimage, and shoot straight ahead like a sharp arrow.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen was startled for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled, and rushed out as well.
At this time, the two rapier wielders had already met each other.
"Qiang!"
In the crisp clashing sound, the two rapiers collided.
Sparks flew off the two weapons.
