Chapter 82

Watching Shengzai, whose figure was constantly approaching him, Mao Chang Jingyan attempted to use words to make Shengzai waver.

Not everyone has the spirit of self-sacrifice and the determination to fear neither life nor death.

Even if Shengzai showed a trace of wavering at this moment, then Mao Chang Jingyan's opportunity would come.

However, it is a pity that Shengzai, who was holding the 'Morning Dawn' at this moment, had an incomparably firm gaze and did not waver in the slightest because of Mao Chang Jingyan's words.

The short stiffness ended. Seeing Shengzai already close at hand, Mao Chang Jingyan also knew that he could no longer change the ending, so he also swung his scythe at Shengzai.

"Wenren Style Sword Technique Type Four — Morning Star!"

Shengzai, whose figure was sprinting at high speed, became faster and faster, until finally, he and his sword seemed to form a brilliant star, directly piercing through Mao Chang Jingyan's head.

And at the same time, the scythe Mao Chang Jingyan swung last also directly pierced through Shengzai's chest.

The HP of both, at the moment the other's attack hit, both fell directly below the critical line.

However, according to the rules of PVP, the winner should be Shengzai, because although the health bars of both sides were cleared, Mao Chang Jingyan hung up before him.

It was the 'Morning Dawn' in Shengzai's hand that pierced Mao Chang Jingyan's head first, and the scythe he dropped then pierced Shengzai's chest.

Although the time interval between the two was almost the same, the final result of the damage calculation was there.

And just after Shengzai and Mao Chang Jingyan exchanged hits to the limit, a blinding white light instantly enveloped the figures of the two, spread with this as the center, and soon enveloped the entire Aincrad.

In the vast white space, Shengzai saw Mao Chang Jingyan again, but this time the other party was neither the appearance of Heathcliff nor the reaper in the boss state, but a human state in a white coat.

"I didn't expect that even after using cheating methods, I still lost in the end.

According to the previous agreement, I have already sent the other SAO players back to their original world.

The reason I left you alone was just to chat with you a few more words and entrust some things to you."

Looking at Mao Chang Jingyan who appeared in front of him, Shengzai was not surprised, because he remembered that after Tong Lao Ye defeated Mao Chang Jingyan, there seemed to be a similar scene.

But Shengzai was not Tongren; he had no interest and no time to chat about dreams with a mad scientist.

If he remembered correctly, the consciousness of others did indeed successfully return to their real bodies after Mao Chang Jingyan was defeated.

However, a guy named Nobuyuki Sugou imprisoned the consciousness of 300 players, including Asuna, into another stealth virtual game, ALO, to conduct illegal and inhumane brain experiments.

"If you want to chat about dreams, I suggest you go find that guy Tongren. I think you can resonate to some extent.

But unfortunately, your actions in my eyes, no matter what excuses are used to whitewash them, cannot be washed clean at all.

Dreams? For the development of humanity? Just high-sounding excuses. Those players imprisoned in SAO, and even those who died in this game, what reason do they have to pay for the so-called dreams you speak of?

And now there is another guy even crazier than you, who has imprisoned the consciousness of many players in the same way, and is even preparing to use them for brain experiments, so I have no time to talk nonsense with you here!"

If it weren't for being in the game space, where Shengzai was helpless, he would have gone up and given Mao Chang Jingyan a few big slaps and turned around and left.

However, it is a pity that as long as he hasn't returned to the real world, Mao Chang Jingyan is still the one in charge here.

Hearing Shengzai's words, Mao Chang Jingyan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then when he used his permissions to search for information on the Internet, he found that things were really as Shengzai said.

Although most of the SAO players who had been trapped for a year had woken up in major hospitals, a small number of players still had vital signs but still could not wake up.

Mao Chang Jingyan was very sure that he should have released everyone's consciousness and not kept any, so where did the consciousness of those players who were still in a coma go?

And what surprised Mao Chang Jingyan even more was that Shengzai hadn't returned to the real world yet, so how did he know about these things?

He was now equivalent to artificial intelligence and could know external information through the Internet at any time, but Shengzai's consciousness was still in the game, so how did he know the news from the outside world?

"Who on earth are you? How do you know that the consciousness of some players is trapped when you cannot contact the outside world!"

Looking at Shengzai in front of him, Mao Chang Jingyan was truly surprised. At this moment, he didn't talk about dream studies anymore, because at this moment, he suddenly felt that Shengzai was unusually mysterious, completely incomprehensible, and impossible to understand.

"You seem quite surprised? Then if I say that I have the ability to predict the future, do you believe it or not?"

"Predict the future? I naturally don't..."

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, Mr. Mao Chang Jingyan. Don't you know that the end of science is metaphysics?

There are many things in this world that science cannot explain. You don't understand them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

You have always wanted the virtual world to replace the real world, and for Light Source life to one day live like normal humans in the real world.

Then do you think that if such a theory were placed in the eyes of people decades ago, wouldn't they also think it is a kind of metaphysics?"

Mao Chang Jingyan's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Shengzai, and Mao Chang Jingyan also understood what Shengzai meant. Human horizons determine their cognition.

Is it just because his own horizons are not enough that he cannot understand what Shengzai said?

Shengzai's origin is a mystery, and perhaps that information of his was just fabricated out of thin air. But no matter what Shengzai's origin is, the world he just described made Mao Chang Jingyan quite yearn for it.

Combining the virtual world with the real world and letting Light Source life and humans live indistinguishably, isn't this exactly what he dreamed of?

After being severely PUA'd by Shengzai, Mao Chang Jingyan suddenly felt that he seemed to have no capital to show off in front of Shengzai, so he soon took out another light ball and handed it to Shengzai.

"Although I don't know who you are, I feel now that entrusting this thing to you might be the best choice.

The Seed of the Virtual World is almost all the crystallization of my research. If this thing falls into the hands of those greedy guys, it will probably only be used to seek profit and power.

Originally, I wanted to entrust it to a player who truly loves virtual games, such as Kazuto Kirigaya.

But after seeing you, I changed my mind. Your existence itself seems to be able to better promote the evolution of the virtual world."
