Chapter 373: The Hero Who Pulled the Curtain Down (Part II)


For Gu Wu, there is only one task from beginning to end, that is, to attack the boss of this game world alone, complete the tasks given by the system, and successfully survive the so-called 'final trial'.However, the plot of the story often does not develop as ideally, and unexpected unexpected situations can easily break the original plan and bring the most difficult situation.So whenever you encounter such a problem, what means should be taken to solve it?

Gu Wu personally believes that the best way is to avoid frontal contact and find a way to break the deadlock from the side.To give an exaggerated example, if someone is drowning in front of him, it is naturally the quickest thing to do to jump directly to rescue, but Gu Wu will consider such a stupid and meaningless plan as 'releasing the water'.To put it simply, Gu Wu will put the extreme situation in front of him, after all, if he doesn't do this, he will definitely be frightened by unexpected things at some point in time, and then lose some opportunity.Everything is possible, this is Gu Wu's most fundamental idea, and this is also the reason why he found a bug in his previous mission and thus took a shortcut.But in the world of SAO, most situations must be solved by Gu Wu from the front, and if you try to find loopholes from the side, you will definitely encounter bigger problems.It's like owing A a lot of money, and then having to borrow money from B to pay off the debt, and then having to borrow money from C to repay B, and so on and so on, with no end in sight......

Gu Wu thinks that this is the system playing tricks, after all, they are the only ones who can control the direction of the plot.The system did help Gu Wu, but it was too difficult for him to believe in a system that imprisoned him in another world and had to complete the task of risking his life.It is true that Gu Wu does not hate everything brought by the system, but this is completely different from his current experience.Wicked people don't become good people just because they have done good deeds, and the sins they have laid down in the past are something that can never be erased.Gu Wu, who doesn't believe much in the system, believes in himself, he trusts his own judgment, so he ......

He always felt that something wasn't quite right.Let's take the story that's happening right now.In the previous time, Gu Wu and Kirito had talked about Heathcliff, and they agreed that Heathcliff had a lot to do with Akihiko Kayaba, and even himself.As an outsider, a person who knows the plot, Gu Wu naturally knows what the truth is, but the problem also arises here.Like Gu Wu, Kirito, and Asuna, Heathcliff is naturally thinking and beware of sudden problems, so in this case, Heathcliff is undoubtedly very vigilant.So the question arises, will the vigilant Heathcliff take into account the plans of the crowd?

Even if you can't fully predict it, you're bound to have doubts.Heathcliff planned to take the initiative to reveal his true identity at the end, but now is the last moment, in this case, Gu Wu thinks that once he returns to the original unit, Heathcliff will tell everyone the truth.That was something that Gu Wu tried his best to avoid, after all, he didn't want to fight Heathcliff, who had become the so-called final boss.Having said that, Gu Wu's concerns could not be changed.He thought that Hizcliff was also waiting for something.Listening to Kirito's speech just now, Hizcliff, who had stopped, put on a serious expression, and he followed to ask Kirito."

You mean......

Want to talk to me about Akihiko Kayaba?

”"That's right, about the developers of this game, I believe that the players in SAO know something."

Kirito also looked very serious, and the atmosphere of the scene changed a little.Seeing the actions of the two people, the captains of the "Blood Alliance Knights", Norfolly and Silast, said one after another, "Captain, we must go back quickly. ”"I think there's something to talk about later, there's no need to waste time here."

For them, the head of the regiment is the head of the regiment, but in Kirito's eyes, the head of the regiment is likely to be the culprit.It seems that it can't be stopped......

Gu Wu thought that things were very strange, but even so, he thought that he couldn't stop the plot, and it was impossible for Kirito, who had already begun, to turn back."

Two ......

Wait a minute, we're just trying to confirm one thing. ”"Deputy Head Asuna, what are you......

Now is not the time to talk about that. ”"I know, there's not much time to lose."

Hearing Asuna say this, the two captains didn't continue to be stubborn, and they also stopped their movements, ready to see what would happen next.At this moment, Klein and Achill are ready to fight, and although the movements of the two are not large, they can also be noticed.Heathcliff listened to the chat, and he picked up on the conversation."

I know a thing or two about Akihiko Kayaba, what kind of information do you want from me?""

It's not anything special, just want to make sure."

Kirito added, "In your eyes, is Akihiko Ashiba a heinous person?"

”"It's a strange question, we, as players, are trapped in a game of death, and there is no reason why we have to endure such misfortune.""

Unfortunate......

It's just that for some people, it's not a misfortune, it's just a simple performance. ”Speaking of which, Kirito narrowed the distance between him and Heathcliff."

It's a virtual world, but it's got us through the reality where we belong, but no matter what, there is one person who can't be forgiven, because that person took away what many people cherish, so I want to know......

"I want to know!!

For this reason, Kirito drew his sword, and he launched an attack on Heathcliff directly in front of him!!

Around the same time, the surrounding Klein and Akyll also took action!

Targeted by Heathcliff, he immediately raised his shield to defend, but his defense was not perfect, and he could only block attacks from front of him, and was helpless against damage from behind.So Klein's sword and Achill's axe fell on Heathcliff's body.Receive an attack, take damage, and have reduced HP.The two captains of the Knights of the Blood Alliance who witnessed this scene each drew their weapons."

Are you crazy?!""

Stop!"

They rushed towards Kirito, who was attacking, but were stopped by Asuna on the way."

Deputy Commander?!""

What are you doing!

Those guys are crazy!

No!

Could it be......

They betrayed us!

Have you joined the Murder Guild?!

”Shaking her head, Asuna, who didn't get out of the way, explained to them, "Commander, he......

There is a truth that we must investigate. ”"The truth?"

The two captains looked at each other, after all, they didn't know the truth about the so-called head of the regiment, and they didn't know what the deputy head wanted to do.And the battle continues at this moment."

What do you do?"

Heathcliff retreated and defended on the other, even if it was him, he couldn't handle the onslaught of three players in this not very open space, not to mention Kirito, a player with high agility and speed.The clash of swords and shields, the interplay of axes and blades, and the sparks are like fireworks that bloom, fleeting but flickering.This is different from the original plot, Kirito and they didn't succeed immediately, but it's only a matter of time.For this reason, Gu Wu, who was staying behind, turned around, accelerated his sprint, and ran towards the passage he had just passed.The development of the plot is very abnormal, and Gu Wu must also complete his own task.He didn't have any expectations for his story, he just wanted to get out of this world, so no matter what means he used, Gu Wu would pursue victory.There is not much time left for Gu Wu, and when Kirito restrains Heathcliff, he must defeat the final boss during this time, "AncarnationofTheradi", ———— [Responding to the host, you are really a twisted guy, but this is also the reason why you can go so far, in the past......

Most of the hosts I used to assist were too normal, which wasn't a bad thing, but it was hard to break out of the old routine. 】"Twisted?

You mean I'm twisted?

”[In response to the host, that's exactly the case, does the host not think so?]

】"Of course, I think it's a 'lot of consideration' and can't be called a distortion, and isn't it the same with your system?

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

In addition to one possibility, you will also think about other possibilities, right?

Maybe ten, a hundred, maybe ten thousand. ”On the way to the boss room, Gu Wu responded one by one to the system that suddenly accosted him.

[In response to the host, I don't know if you've heard of the saying that the most proud trick of demons is to convince people that they don't exist.] 】"I've heard of it, because there was a time when I was interested in the supernatural before, so it's okay to call it a secondary disease."

[In response to the host, according to this sentence, in the eyes of this system, the host is the existence similar to the 'demon', of course, it is not the kind of demon that eats people, and it does not mean that you represent evil. 】"It's not a distortion to think too much, as I said earlier."

[What would you do if someone on the side of the road asked for help in response to the host?]

】Someone asking for help?

What a simple question."

Of course, I called the police first."

[Respond to the host, even if it is just a fall, do you have to call the police?]

】"If you don't call the police, you can call for help, and then if there is nothing important, you can accompany the other party and wait, there is nothing wrong with this approach, right?"

[Responding to the host is simply the most standard approach.] 】The tone of the system sounded like mockery, but Gu Wu didn't care.He thinks his approach is in line with the process and there is nothing wrong with it.It makes sense for someone to call for help and the police, or for someone to be injured and call an ambulance.

[In response to the host, what else would you do besides the above practices?]

】"Let's think of each other as bad guys."

[Responding to the host, it seems that the host is the kind of person who thinks that 'sex is inherently evil'.] 】Absolutely.However, the 'nature of evil' here is not standard."

To be precise, the 'Theory of Sexual Evil', just like the 'Theory of Sexual Goodness', is not 'human nature is inherently good' or 'human nature is inherently evil', but 'human nature is evil' and 'human nature is good', and your system is not rigorous in its wording."

[Respond to the host, if you maintain a skeptical attitude towards everything, you will be alone.] 】"Isn't that what I'm like now?"

Connections were made before, but they still had to fight alone.But it's nothing, Gu Wu knows that someone is waiting for him, which is quite important."

Personally, I don't expect great and wonderful adventures, those things are enough to exist on online videos and novels, even if I have fantasies about them, but I don't have the idea of actually experiencing them; Think about it carefully, most heroes and brave people have painful misfortunes in their lives, so who is willing to give the lives of the people around them in exchange for the so-called 'hero qualifications'?

”[In response to the host, but without those people, the world might have been destroyed long ago.] 】"Yes, I admire such great people, their sacrifices make everything, but respect does not mean that I want to be like that, because I don't want to pay the price to fulfill my wishes."

Of course."

If that price is part of my own life, maybe I'll still have some interest, and I think that's why I'm alone now."

The system has set up regulations, but Gu Wu thinks that some of his actions affect the actions of the system.

[In response to the host, in this way, you are really a 'gentle demon'; 'gentleness' comes from you who fight alone and does not want to involve others, and 'demon' comes from the expectation you have of others, which is actually a kind of vigilance, thinking that in the end you must do it yourself.] 】"Whatever you think, I won't be your ideal 'best host'."

[Responding to the host, your conclusion is not right, what this system is looking for is not the kind of hot-blooded hero who holds high the banner of 'love and dreams', but also to find a reasonable, rational, serious, and thoughtful host; In addition to these, he also maintains a normal human heart, after all, the failure of the previous host is that he is too gentle. 】A host that is too gentle is indeed a nuisance.If it was Gu Wu, his mercy for the enemy was not to kill the other party, and he could do anything else.However, Gu Wu tried not to go to that point, because as the system said, he would think about a lot."

That's the end of it."

[In response to the host, it's finally time to pull the curtain down.] 】"I'm just opportunistic."

[In response to the host, victory is victory, nothing more, superfluous things are nothing more than meaningless perceptions of outsiders.] 】"It's Kirito who really helped me......"

Glancing back, the battle must have continued.

[In response to the host, they have indeed pinned down the enemy for you.] 】"After all, they were the original heroes of this world, not me, an outsider."

Speaking of this, Gu Wu's pace slowed down because he had already seen the entrance and exit of the boss room."

Finally......"

Gu Wu said, quickly increasing his speed and rushing towards the final place.
