Diabell is a beta tester.
Luo Zhen only discovered this idea when Argo gave him the information about Diabell.
At that time, Argo said so.
"Diabel was one of the first players to leave the town after SAO announced the death gamification. Even his teammates were persuaded by him to muster the courage to leave the town and make their way to the maze area to become the top A powerful team in the player group, the experience and skills displayed are quite sophisticated. Although he clearly leads a large team, he is as bold as the closed beta players, targeting those with high levels from the beginning. He traveled to the monster training area and the villages and towns in front of him, gaining experience points very quickly, and also completed many hidden tasks and limited rare tasks.”
This in itself is an anomaly.
It would be fine if Diabell was just one of the first players to leave the town. It’s not like the average player didn’t realize from the beginning that they needed to become stronger in this world in order to continue to survive, so a month ago There are people who have left the starting town.
However, he was clearly leading a team, but he was as bold as a closed beta player. He headed towards the training areas with high-level monsters and the villages and towns in front of him from the beginning, and also completed many hidden tasks and limited-time missions. There is something wrong with the rare mission.
"No matter how bold they are, without the same knowledge and intelligence as the beta testers, players will not want to rush into the high-level monster area from the beginning. Even if they have the best technology, how high will the mortality rate be if they do so? , it’s simply conceivable.”
"It's okay if I'm the only one who is reckless."
"However, players who can lead a team and have a way to convince these teammates to walk out of the town together, and have rare leadership skills, will never do such stupid things."
That's what Luo Zhen thought.
Not to mention, under such circumstances, the other party can take one step ahead of the beta testers and win many hidden tasks and rare tasks. That is really abnormal.
unless…
"You were a beta tester from the beginning."
Luo Zhen ignored the shock of everyone present and spoke like this to the silent Diabel.
"You should have used a different character name after the official operation than during the closed beta period. In addition, the death gamification has restored the realistic appearance. Compared with the closed beta period, you have become two completely different people."
Taking advantage of this, Diabell, like the rest of the beta testers, hid his identity and persuaded a group of players to form a team with him and walked out of the starting town together. Knowledge has led the team all the way.
Because of this, Diabell dared to go to the training areas with high-level monsters and the villages and towns in front of them from the beginning, and also completed many hidden tasks and limited rare tasks.
Because of this, Diabell knew Luo Zhen and Kirito, and knew the rumors about the two during the closed beta period. After finding the room of the defensive boss, he was worried that these two players would come to participate in the strategy battle and grab the To get the reward, he approached Kibaou just now and entrusted him to come forward to purchase the weapons of the two of them.
"In yesterday's strategy meeting, this arrogant gentleman made fierce remarks about closed beta players on the spot, and you didn't stop him. That should be because you have known each other for a long time, right?"
Luo Zhen spoke calmly to Diabel.
"As a reward for the commission, you allow that arrogant gentleman to express his anger towards the closed beta players in a public place like the strategy meeting."
In other words, for his own benefit, Diabell not only concealed the fact that he was a beta tester, but also lied to Kibaou.
I'm afraid, Kibaou doesn't even know that Diabell is a closed beta player.
If Kibaou knew that Diabell was a closed beta player, he would never step in on Diabell's behalf given his hostility towards the closed beta players.
In front of Kibaou, Diabell should have pretended to be a regular player representative confronting the despicable beta testers. He also told Kibaou that Razen and Kirito were beta testers and they were the ones who wanted to rob la people, in order to incite Kibaou's hostility.
That’s why Kibaou helped Diabel do things and protected Diabell in every aspect.
"Am I right? Mr. Diabell?"
Luo Zhen looked at Diabel, his tone was still indifferent, and he spoke like this.
"If you want to deny it, then please tell everyone here, how did you know that Kirito is a closed beta player, and how did you know that Kirito and I are both good at capturing la?"
It was naturally impossible for Diabell not to hear such a question.
However, Diabel just remained silent and had nothing to say.
"This is...a lie...right...?"
Kibaou looked at Diabel in shock and disbelief.
"Diabel is a beta tester...?"
"is that a lie…?"
"This is definitely a lie..."
Diabell's teammates and the players in general were also shaken.
If Diabel makes a negative statement here, these players will definitely stand up to defend him immediately.
Unfortunately, Diabel couldn't deny it.
Because, he couldn't explain at all. If he was not a beta tester, how could he explain the above problem.
then…
"...the rare props dropped from the defensive boss are the only high-performance items in this world. As long as they are obtained, the combat power can be greatly improved."
Diabel finally spoke up.
However, it was a rather bitter sound.
"Now that SAO has become a death game, combat power is equivalent to the power of survival. In order to be able to survive in this world in the future, and to stand in front of the team and players, we must do whatever it takes to get the defensive boss. The rare items dropped from his body.”
Diabel said these words.
And this is equivalent to admitting it.
He admitted what Luo Zhen said.
"Liar..."
"this…"
Diabell's teammates and the general players opened their eyes wide.
Kibaou started to tremble all over and staggered to the front of Diabel.
"Why...why did you lie to me...!"
Kibaou roared hoarsely.
"Obviously I trust you so much! I believe you are the one who can lead the players to fight against the beta testers and this game!"
Kibaou pulled out his weapon and impulsively wanted to slash Diabel.
"stop!"
"Stop!"
"Do you want to become a criminal!?"
Players one by one immediately stopped Kibaou.
Faced with all this, the beta testers headed by Luo Zhen stopped talking.
Only Kirito asked in a low voice.
"Is it really worth it?"
does it worth
Diabel could no longer answer this question.
"I betrayed everyone, not only the ordinary players who trusted me, but also the closed beta players who had played the game together. I'm sorry to everyone."
Now, all that remains is this fact.
"So I just said it?"
Diabell looked at Luo Zhen, with an unreal smile on his face.
"I'm not as good as you."
Compared to Luo Zhen, who stood up for the beta testers and vindicated the names of the beta testers, Diabel was also a beta tester, but chose a path of concealment, deception and betrayal.
Now the deceiver is doomed to pay the full price.
