Floor 47, Floria.
When Luo Zhen returned to the base of "Red Wing", the mansion full of flower gardens, almost all the guild members had gathered in the hall, sitting around the round tables scattered in the hall. , chatting freely as if at a cocktail party, causing the noise to be heard.
However, the expressions of many members looked serious and sinister, and the content of their chats also revealed a sense of tragedy. It felt like a memorial service rather than a cocktail party.
Luo Zhen's arrival made everyone look at the door almost reflexively, and then their spirits were lifted.
"President!"
"President!"
"President!"
All the guild members immediately stood up collectively.
That look was like seeing the backbone.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, long time no see, everyone."
The tone was as relaxed and lazy as ever, which dissipated a lot of the dangerous atmosphere of the scene, and made all the guild members look helpless as if they were exhausted.
“The president is still the same as before.”
"I really don't know whether to be angry or envious..."
"Really..."
One by one, the guild members complained.
Luo Zhen turned a blind eye and walked directly in the direction of a person.
The man was sitting in the corner, silently looking at Luo Zhen who was approaching, with a wry smile on his face.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The two-sword swordsman in black said hello feebly.
Seeing Kirito like this, Luo Zhen started to joke.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, and you seem to be less energetic than me. Could it be that Xing and Liz have already seen each other, and your philandering has been revealed?"
Hearing this, the weakness on Kirito's face became slightly stiff and became unnatural.
This actually shocked Luo Zhen.
"No way?" Luo Zhen said quickly: "Did something really happen?"
He looked anxious, but in fact he couldn't hide the curiosity and excitement in his tone.
This made Kirito speak out quickly.
"That's... that's not the case! Although we did meet each other... But... Sachi and Liz get along very well... I guess...?"
After talking about it, Kirito's tone became a little unconfident.
After he reacted, Kirito straightened his face.
"What does it mean to be a playboy? I don't have a playboy! Kazuyuki and Liz are very..."
Kirito retorted, but was interrupted impatiently by Luo Zhen.
"Yes, yes, you have a very pure and friendly relationship, okay?"
Luo Zhen said something against his will with a disapproving look on his face.
"You guy..."
Kirito suddenly felt helpless.
However, the weakness and slight bitterness on Kirito's face had disappeared.
This made Luo Zhen confirm that he had achieved his goal and smiled.
"That's right. Kirito should be in the position of being toyed with. It's too early to worry about things that he shouldn't be responsible for."
Luo Zhen curled his lips and said such words.
Only then did Kirito understand why Luo Zhen was teasing him as soon as he arrived.
So, is this all to comfort yourself
This idea was confirmed in the next second.
"The victim has appeared, right?" Luo Zhen looked at Kirito and said: "But that is not your responsibility. It is something that I, the leader of the strategy team, should worry about. Now you can report the situation to me. Just do it again.”
At this point, Luo Zhen had already changed his tone to become the president of the guild and the leader of the strategy team.
This made Kirito take a deep breath and regain his composure.
"This happened yesterday."
With this sentence as a prelude, Kirito began his report.
Specifically, it is the strategy matters after Luo Zhen leaves.
As expected, the 75th floor was a lot more difficult than the 74th floor. Even collecting the map files of the maze area took a lot of time, but finally there were no victims. End next.
With the current size of the strategy team, even if Luo Zhen is not leading it, if we only deal with the training area and the maze area, it will not be too difficult. The only obstacle is the defeat of the boss in the training area, but in Tong. Thanks to the activity of the holder of this unique skill, the strategy team successfully broke through and entered the maze tower.
In this way, after spending two weeks to defeat it, just yesterday, the strategy team finally discovered the defensive boss room on the 75th floor.
"According to convention, before starting the strategy meeting, a reconnaissance team must first be sent to conduct a full intelligence investigation on the boss. Considering the difficulty of the 75th floor, the boss on the defensive floor is probably the same as on the 25th and 50th floors. It is a terrifyingly powerful level, so the reconnaissance team is composed of members from five large guilds in the strategy team, with a total of twenty-four people, forming half of a joint force."
In terms of investigation alone, this scale is quite unprecedented.
You know, in the past, the most reconnaissance teams sent was a team of six people. After all, the mission was just reconnaissance, not strategy, so naturally it didn't require too much effort.
But considering the difficulty of the 75th floor, it makes sense to form a reconnaissance team of this size.
"The investigation was carried out with great caution. Two teams with a total of twelve people served as defenders and were waiting at the entrance of the room. The other two teams with a total of twelve people entered the room first."
Kirito's tone began to darken.
"However, at this moment, the entrance door suddenly closed. No matter whether it was a person with the "Unlocking" skill or a direct attack, there was no way to open the door."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows.
This really makes people think of the situation where Kradiel framed himself and Asuna.
However, this time it was obviously not the case.
If it's really a frame-up, then it doesn't matter if the people inside the room can't open the door, there's no reason why people outside can't even open it.
I'm afraid, this time it's real...
"trap."
Luo Zhen gave this conclusion.
This is the trap of the game itself, the type that blocks the escape route once a player enters.
Kirito naturally thought so too.
"When the door opens again, it will only be a few minutes." Kirito whispered: "However, there is nothing in the room, whether it is the players of the two teams or the boss guarding the floor. Figure."
What this means is self-evident.
"For confirmation, we have also sent people to the Black Iron Palace to confirm the death list on the Monument of Life, and finally confirmed that the names of the twelve-person team have been crossed out."
Kirito's expression became weak again.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Now that the victim has appeared, it proves...
"They didn't use transfer crystals." Kirito raised his eyes, looked at Luo Zhen, and said, "You said before that the guarding boss room on the 74th floor is a crystal invalid zone, right?"
Obviously, the same is true for the 75th floor defensive boss this time.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
I'm afraid that all floor-defending boss rooms will become crystal invalid zones in the future, right
In addition, there are traps that will cut off the escape route.
In addition, the defensive boss on the 75th floor will be as powerful as the 25th and 50th floors...
"I see. No wonder your expression is so ugly, and everyone looks like they haven't slept well."
Luo Zhen accepted the report calmly, then turned around and faced everyone.
"Now let's gather the members of the strategy team."
Luo Zhen ordered calmly.
"I'm going to hold a strategy meeting for the defense boss on the 75th floor."
