In fact, this matter should have been mentioned a long time ago.
She was unconscious in the forest and had lost her memory. She couldn't even speak clearly when she woke up. Faced with Yui like this, Luo Zhen and Asuna both guessed that she had encountered some great mental shock. But what exactly caused such a mental shock, Luo Zhen and Asuna have not revealed it until now.
Yes.
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s that I didn’t reveal it.
It was intentionally not revealed.
This is also normal.
"... Assuming that Yui is really an ordinary player and has survived until now, then she must have companions by her side, right?"
Luo Zhen whispered such a guess.
"That might be Yui's parents in the real world, or it might be a friend Yui knows in this world. In short, Yui can't be the same person."
At least, Luo Zhen couldn't imagine how a little girl under ten years old could survive in this world for two full years without anyone around her.
Therefore, if Yui is really an ordinary player, there must be friends, companions and even family around her.
But while in the forest, Yui was clearly alone.
Considering the mental shock Yui suffered, it's not hard to imagine what happened.
for example…
"For some reason, Yui followed her companions to the 22nd floor, but encountered a monster outside the circle."
Luo Zhen expressed such speculation in a tone like a bystander.
"Considering Yui's age, it is very likely that she and her companions have been in the starting town before and have not leveled up at all. Naturally, they cannot be opponents of the monsters on the 22nd floor."
In such a situation, it is already obvious what the consequences will be.
Asuna is also a smart person and must have anticipated this situation.
That is to say…
"During the monster attack, it is very likely that all of Yui's companions died. Although Yui escaped alone, she lost her important companions and was left alone. Of course, she felt great sadness and despair."
The implication of Luo Zhen's words was already obvious.
It was because of this that Yui suddenly fainted under great sadness and despair. She was also mentally shocked and eventually lost her memory and couldn't even speak clearly.
and…
"It can be seen from how Yui called us mom and dad as soon as she woke up. Yui has been longing for such an existence."
Luo Zhen spoke as if he was strangling his own feelings.
"This means two things."
"Either Yui is trapped alone in this world, missing her parents in the real world, and thus following her instinct to pursue their parents' existence."
"Either, Yui came to this world with her parents and survived for two years. The people who came to the 22nd floor with Yui and died at the hands of monsters may be her parents."
Luo Zhen expressed these two ideas.
However, these two ideas are undoubtedly very cruel.
"unacceptable."
Asuna spoke in a low voice as if she was about to cry.
"Either one is too much."
Or endure a life without parents, wandering and living alone for two years.
Either his parents die in front of him and he becomes a completely different person from then on.
No matter which side it is, is it too cruel for a little girl who is not even ten years old
certainly…
"This is just a guess. Maybe things are not as bad as we thought." Luo Zhen's tone began to become more relaxed, and he said: "After all, there are still many unsolved mysteries about Yui. I want to be sure that this It’s too early to speculate.”
Isn't it
Luo Zhen's guesses about these things are all based on the fact that Yui is an ordinary player.
But is Yui an ordinary player
Obviously not.
"There is no cursor, and even the main menu is very different from the players. There must be some hidden existence in Yui like this that even I can't imagine. The situation is definitely not that simple." Luo Zhen said bluntly to Asuna. : "I have asked Argo to investigate Yui's identity. If Yui has really stayed in the Town of Beginning with her parents or companions, then Argo will definitely be able to collect this information, and the truth will be revealed by then. .”
Hearing this, Asuna finally let go of her inner sadness.
"So you've already done something like that?" Asuna looked at Luo Zhen, finally smiled again, and said, "As expected of you, you have always prepared for a rainy day."
In this regard, Asuna still admires Luo Zhen very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she admires him.
This man seems lazy and unruly, but in fact he has always been the most effective person. Whether in daily life or in the strategy, he supports everyone, leads everyone from the front, and breaks through one difficulty after another.
To put it bluntly, if there was no Luo Zhen in this world, how many people might have died.
People who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the strategy.
People who died because of the ravages of the orange guild and the red guild.
A person who commits suicide because he has no hope of leaving due to a failure in clearing the floor.
Without Luo Zhen, there would be many, many such people.
Therefore, Luo Zhen can be said to have saved hundreds of players, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the greatest person in the world.
Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Luo Zhen, he might have given up on himself and collapsed from exhaustion on the first level, eventually dying.
In addition, Luo Zhen saved herself from obsessions and nightmares. It is not an exaggeration to say that Asuna's life was saved because of Luo Zhen.
Asuna was thinking about such things, looking directly at Luo Zhen's side face, and gradually became fascinated.
Then, the happy life these days and the encounter with Yui today stimulated Asuna's heart, and Asuna couldn't help but say something.
"It would be great if I could live here with you and Yui forever."
Asuna couldn't help but express her feelings.
"well?"
Luo Zhen looked over in astonishment.
Asuna then realized what she had said, and her pretty face turned red.
"No...nothing! Don't worry!"
Asuna turned around suddenly, turned her back to Luo Zhen, and spoke in a panic.
"It's... very late! Go to sleep!"
After saying that, Asuna stopped making any sound, and became silent as if she had really fallen asleep.
Luo Zhen could only scratch his cheek, looking at Asuna's weak back and ears that were very conspicuously red under the moonlight, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
(That might be good too...)
Luo Zhen really doesn't reject this kind of life.
It's a pity that Luo Zhen can't do it.
because…
(There are still many people waiting for me...)
For example, Chaldee is training his juniors in order to fight alongside Luo Zhen.
Another example is a doll that claims to be one's own.
Asuna didn't know that Luo Zhen not only saved many people in this world, but was also in the position of saving others in other worlds.
Humanity needs Luo Zhen to save it.
The family needs Luo Zhen to save it.
Many people need Luo Zhen to save them.
(Of course, I'm no savior.)
But even for those he cares about, Luo Zhen must embark on this path of saving others.
Just like the being who bestowed miracles on Luo Zhen...
(This time, it’s me who will bring the miracle to others.)
With this thought, Luo Zhen closed his eyes and fell asleep as well.
