Chapter IX The huge disparity between 10,000 people and 16 people
"--It should have been like this." The black and white bear thought that there was another way to leave here.
"It's such an exciting and exciting day to be open today. So Bears holds special events as Game GM. As long as you can achieve it within seven days, let you leave here immediately."
"Huh~ I just said it was a special event for the game to be open~" "I was shocked, the performance was really realistic." "Hurry up and say what the event content is!" Some naive SAO players stubbornly believe that it is the operating method of the operating company. Perhaps, they just don't want to accept the truth of despair.
"..." After witnessing the death image of Akihiko Kayaba, more than a dozen players who were barely rational after being blown into debris, chose to remain silent because they did not dare to have any extravagant hopes for the evil and terrible black and white bear, but they did not want to ask in person and destroy the last glimmer of hope.
"Black and white bear, what you meant is not... let us kill each other?" A young player wearing a dark green jacket, a little short, with a dazed hair standing on his head, feeling a little immature and unfamiliar, tremblingly speaking what everyone present said.
The faces of the Ledoll players who heard this changed color. The black and white bear mentioned that the seven-day period of the activity happened to be exactly the same as their third mission. It was really a coincidence? In this regard, they vaguely realized the crisis of the mission.
"Ah, ah, how did you know? Did you just say that you were slacking off?" The black and white bear covered his mouth in surprise, then lowered his head in disappointment, pretending to be very hit. But from its exaggerated way of performance, it was obviously teasing everyone.
"That's right! Who do you think will agree!" "Why do we have to kill each other? This is too unreasonable!" "It's just to sow discord between us, so don't fall into the trap!" The reason why SAO players oppose is not because of conscience or moral constraints, but because they are afraid of becoming victims in this fight.
"Black and White Bear, your conspiracy will not succeed!" With the warm response of everyone around, the young player seemed to have gained infinite courage, enough to confront the powerful Black and White Bear.
The black and white bear's reaction was beyond the boy's imagination, as if he was not worried at all, and he made a laugh of unknown significance: "Pu pup pup pup pup pup pup, can you really unite as you imagined?"
"What do you mean?" A little inappropriate feeling in the young player.
"I tell you sadly that there was a traitor among you. Even so, can you still trust each other?" The black and white bear smiled and squinted his eyes, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
It was completely contrary to his good feelings. When he heard the words of the traitor, the crowd began to discuss in horror as if it was blown up by this bombshell, whether there was really a black and white bear undercover intervening in. The false sense of unity that had just been constructed disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Traitors, it must be your trick to make up the tricks to split everyone! I believe everyone present!" After experiencing the surprise at the beginning, the simple boy still chose to believe all the players present. Through his eyes, he knew that he did not lie, and it was not like ordinary people who said they believed in it but were full of doubts.
With a completely opposite personality to Zhong Zai, he unconditionally believed in strangers he had never known. If Zhong Zai made an evaluation, it would be hopeless stupidity.
But it is precisely because of this stupidity and this simple belief that even I don’t even notice it, it creates a unique personality charm. It seems that just looking at the boy, you will see the so-called hope, and for a moment you stop everyone’s suspicion and suspicion.
"No, no, no, the bear does not lie, is much more honest than you humans. There is indeed a traitor among you." The black and white bear continued to make various tricks without seriousness, intentionally or unintentionally provoking everyone's patience and reason.
"However, what a hopeful situation this is~ Even the bear was a little moved. Then I changed my mind and gave up the cruel plan of "let everyone fight and the last person left."
"Okay, I've decided. Now change to, as long as you can find the traitors hidden among you and kill them, then you can leave. There is no objection now, right?"
"I..." Still unwilling to believe the words of the Black and White Bear. The young player seemed to want to say something, but was robbed of the right to speak by another voice.
"Just talking is unreasonable, if there are really traitors, even the number, appearance, and name are unknown. At least you have to remind me."
"Well, it makes sense. Then you guys listen..."
"The traitors are all mixed with you, there are sixteen people in total. This is only one chance, everyone should cherish it." The black and white bear grinned, and the laughter was full of treacherousness.
"Scared!" The men, women, young and old among the Ledoll players caused an uproar. If you don't understand, you'll see a ghost! Because this number exactly matches the number of their players!
The so-called "traitors" are them!!
…………
Even though Alina, who is heartless and likes to make trouble on weekdays, realized the major crisis she faced and almost called out.
She finally understood Lord Zhong Zai's abnormal reaction, and thought he had expected such a development.
"Master Zhong Zai, did you guess this situation early in the morning? It's so amazing!" Alina's eyes were shining with little stars, looking at Zhong Zai with admiration. This is the person she likes, and she is indeed a reliable man full of advantages.
Zhong Zai couldn't help but be praised by others, and his old face turned red, but he was worried that he had not yet escaped from danger, and said, "Well, be quiet, I'll leave here immediately now."
That's right, after a group of SAO players emerged, Zhong Zai judged that the possibility that they were not in the same camp as Ledoll players was very high.
This is the most reasonable statement, explaining all the tasks that seem to be extremely simple on the surface.
Assuming that both sides are really in the same camp, the first mission will become a boss who will be besieged by tens of thousands of players in the first labyrinth. As the saying goes, as long as there are many ants, the elephant will be bitten to death. What's more, it's only the first level of Ain Grant, and it's the weakest boss at the same time. Do you expect it to kill all players in one move? There is no suspense in the end.
As mentioned before, the third task is not even at all dangerous in the urban area, so do you still need to hide everywhere? Even the name of the task "Hide East and Tibet" does not match the number, which is too suspicious.
Originally, I hoped that the Black and White Bear would just create chaos, causing SAO players to fall into each other's killing, and drag the players into a melee. In this way, at least they could fish among the masses and get out without much difficulty.
But the facts proved that Zhong Zai's ideas were simply too naive, and he also slightly estimated the insidiousness of the LeDal Group.
The worst situation that players need to face! The number of players on both sides is completely disproportionately 10,000:16. (One player is about the number of players) plus the strange black and white bear pushes them to the hostile side of the SAO player, and becomes a solid piece of the same under the common interests, without any loopholes to exploit. Nearly 10,000 SAO players are all enemies of the players.
This number with an overwhelming gap alone is enough to make people feel desperate.
Moreover, when the player is placed among SAO players at the beginning, if a mistake is made and the news is leaked, it is undoubtedly a turtle in the jar.
Damn, this LeDaoer Group is so fucking sinister! Are you really sure this is a newcomer game?
At this time, Zhong Zai, who was constantly complaining in his heart, finally took Gongkouna to the outermost periphery of the central square. The dense crowd was left behind by them, leaving only a small group of people standing nearby. If this continues, it will take only a quarter of an hour to escape from this dangerous crowd.
This should have been like this...
"Hey, why are you doing so anxious? Where do you want to run?" A voice that made Zhongzai hear was heard in the crowd. The loud voice was so loud that everyone in the entire square could clearly hear it. It was obviously intentional.
"Or, if you have a ghost in your heart, you are just the traitors mentioned by the Black and White Bear." The gangster wearing earrings said jokingly. In his opinion, he pointed out Zhong Zai's calculations and witnessed his embarrassment with his own eyes, and completed his revenge with great pleasure.
This is true. Once caught by the gamers who have lost their minds, Zhong Zai and Alina will have only one ending - death.
Following the instructions of the earring gangster, the innocent players along the way were afraid that they would be wrong, so they spread out to the left and right sides in a tacit understanding, immediately exposing the positions of Zhong Zai and Alina.
I saw a young man leading the girl and hurriedly leaving outside the square.
Even if you don’t need the earrings to give me some tips, the two young men and women in the eyes of ordinary people are suspicious. If it weren’t for the undercover agent of the Black and White Bear, how could he choose to leave here in a hurry at this time?
Without turning his head, Zhong Zai felt countless gazes pointing at him, and every move was exposed in front of everyone. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Tsk! Sure enough, there is no shortage of idiots in this world. That's why I am like this, and I don't want to stay there for even a quarter of an hour!"
It is really better for human calculation than God. Although Zhong Zai predicted the conspiracy of the Black and White Bear in advance and took action, he was eventually caught in public.
Why should I identify as my undercover? What evidence do you have? Zhong Zai chose to give up these powerless quibbling words almost the moment he thought of them.
Just like when he was suspected by other players not long ago, he was silent? Just kidding! The situation is worse now than before, how can he get away with it?
Stop and accept the interrogation of SAO players? Are you sure you are not trying to die? If it were Zhong Zai, he would definitely rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let anyone go. You must know that this involves their own lives!
"Damn it, nothing you say at this time will work...? Huh? No, there is such a way!" Zhong Zai suddenly had a light of inspiration and found a countermeasure.
"Yes, I'm an undercover agent!!"
To everyone's surprise, Zhong Zai not only did not choose to deny it, but instead admitted it directly. Some gamers had to guess: Is this guy's brain short-circuited?
His next sentence drew everyone's attention.
"But aren't you the same thing you confessed to me right away?" Zhong Zai replied firmly in an unquestionable tone.
The moment he finished speaking, everyone immediately noticed something wrong: Yes! If you were not one of the members, how could you notice his actions and immediately point out the other person's identity.
If the earring gangster dares to use a poisonous trick to kill someone with a knife, then Zhong Zai is even more slutty than him and drags him into the water!
Moreover, Zhong Zai’s goal is not to die with the earring gangster. Just a person like him is not worth Zhong Zai’s compensation for him, but Zhong Zai thinks he is quite valuable. Besides, Alina stays with him, now she will lose money!
When everyone subconsciously turned around and stared at the earring gangster, Zhong Zai shouted to Elina beside him: "Run while now!"
After saying that, he took her hand again and ran towards the outside of the town, breaking through another wall of people blocking the road ahead.
Whether SAO players believe it or not. After all, Zhong Zai just needs to take Alina to speed up leaving the central square, or even the initial town when everyone is stunned.
His actions perfectly reflect a philosophy: you don’t have to run past others, just run faster than you.
This "you" of course refers to the earring gangster.
Zhong Zai and Alina ran to the outside of the square early, and they were about to leave the square, and there was no possibility of chasing them. On the contrary, the earring gangster was still standing in the crowd stupidly, not understanding what was going on now.
After all, normal people know the principle of giving far away and getting close. Compared to a far-reaching goal, it is obviously more cost-effective to catch the one that is close at hand first.
The existence of the earring gangster suddenly attracted a lot of firepower for Zhong Zai. Except for a few players who were close to Zhong Zai who were willing to chase after him, the rest consciously formed a series of tight walls of people. It was impossible for him to let him go this time.
"No, no... I'm not an undercover agent of the Black and White Bear, that's him squirting people with blood!" The earring gangster tried to lobby everyone in fear, but it was obviously useless. Because the SAO players didn't listen to it at all, and slowly approached him with malicious steps.
If this kind of unnutrition works, Zhong Zai might as well commit suicide by taking a piece of tofu. Unexpectedly, he would enjoy the same dilemma that Zhong Zai had faced so quickly.
