The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

Chapter 60 The information that remains!

The decompressed virtual world re-presents the appearance of the floating city "Aincrad".

The place where Li Xia's consciousness body stands is the high-altitude platform of that year.

Below is the huge floating city Aincrad with 100 floors.

Further below is a vast expanse of land.

Not too far from the floating city Aincrad, a huge sacred tree that blocks out the sky and penetrates the sky stands between the heaven and earth. It is the main line of the "Fairy Dance" chapter "World Tree".

"It seems that I not only got out the SAO world seed of Kayaba Akihiko, but also packed and brought out the world tree that Sugo Nobuyuki made."

"Tsk tsk..."

"I'm back, SAO!"

The excitement in his heart made him open his arms involuntarily:

"I'm here, my SAO!"

The whole world seems to be in his palm.

In his mind.

A thought can overturn the world, and a thought can also restart the world.

Now he is the master of this world.

"Let's see what back-up plans are left..."

The Town of Beginning.

It means "the place where everything starts".

Li Xia was walking on the streets of the Town of Beginning.

Soon, he noticed something unusual.

It turned out that some NPCs on an arc that issued simple tasks had only one word in their names.

There were more than 30 such NPCs on this arc.

When Li Xia arranged these more than 30 words in order, he immediately got two sentences.

There were some hints in the words.

Prompt him how to find clues faster.

"The NPC of the floating city Aincrad was named with one word. Didn't the individual trigger the elimination of the secret realm rules?"

Li Xia was the first to realize this.

Then, as a GM, he summoned SAO's "No. 1 AI of the Mental State Management Program", which was Yui who appeared in the bug in the original book. An artificial intelligence responsible for managing and caring for the mental state of SAO game players, and a program with human emotions.

But in the end, he only got a seed.

A tear-shaped crystal named "Heart of Yui".

Seeing that it was just a seed, Li Xia frowned slightly at first; after he touched the seed and confirmed that it contained a program, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't understand why Yui had to be extracted from the body before leaving the trial copy and preserved in the form of such a program condensation. But since he did it, he probably had other considerations.

"I hope I can get something else from Yui..."

While talking to himself, he had already clicked on the crystal and revived the seed with the authority of GM.

The next moment, a soft light lit up, and a palm-sized, cute little Lolita with long hair appeared in front of him.

Seeing the little girl, a sense of intimacy came naturally, and his eyes unconsciously became much gentler:

"Do you remember me, little Yui?"

At this moment, Li Xia stared at the little Lolita with expectation, and the little Lolita also stared at him.

Her eyes gradually changed from the initial confusion to surprise:

"Master!"

While calling, she jumped into Li Xia's arms and hugged his neck.

If Kayaba Akihiko is the biological father who created Yui's emotional program.

Then Li Xia is her adoptive father.

"Little Yui, do you have the things I asked you to save?"

Li Xia asked.

"Yes..."

While the little girl was talking, she called out a lot of program data.

And these originally random data without any rules, after being arranged and combined several times through a certain pattern, actually formed a series of blurred pictures. And there are so many, so many that it may not be possible to watch them all even if they are played in the form of slides for three or five hours.

At the moment of seeing those blurred pictures, Li Xia's heartbeat became a little stronger.

All the characters in the picture were blurred so that their faces could not be seen clearly, and only a little outline of their bodies could be vaguely seen.

But just this little detail was enough for him to judge the angle he was in every time.

"Who am I going outing with?"

"This one is watching the sunrise together..."

"This one is watching the forest..."

"Take a boat trip together"

"Enjoy delicious food and explore the ancient city together..."

The blurred pictures turned into blurred memories and quickly passed through Li Xia's mind, but he still had no impression.

There was no touch.

It was like something that had been stripped out of his mind.

"Master, I have a lot of them here, but for some reason they have become so blurred, as if they were deliberately damaged. I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't protect them. Am I useless?"

The elf-like Yui said a little frustrated.

She blamed herself for not being able to protect these things.

"No, you have done a good job."

Li Xia gently stroked the elf's little head to comfort her.

This was not Yui's fault.

It was not easy to save so many photos.

He gathered his mind and then followed the clues to find them one by one.

After a while, he found another monument.

Originally, this monument should have recorded something, but now, it is unusually clean, and has become an empty monument without any words or traces.

"Has the content been erased by the rules of the secret realm?"

Li Xia guessed.

He became more and more excited:

"Search!

Keep searching!

All the details must be found!"

He didn't believe that he only had this much back-up.

But there were no other clues in the starting town, so he began to jump out of this town to explore other places.

For example, he sorted out the names of many towns on the 100th floor and connected more than a dozen sentences. For example, he collected the NPCs with "only one word in their names" in all the towns on the 100th floor, and got more and more information. In the end, he pieced together a short essay of nearly 5,000 words for him.

Through this diary-like article, he gradually understood more and more things that happened in the trial copy from the perspective of a spectator.

And this feeling is very strange and novel.

In the short essay, the name "Asuna" appeared as expected!

"I really like that girl!"

At this time, Li Xia's mouth had unconsciously raised a gentle smile.

But soon it was shrouded by a haze.

Because in this short article, the words "maintainer" appeared "unexpectedly" and "naturally"!

He knew one of the real dangers of the secret trial: the maintainer.

There are smart people and practical geniuses who perform well on the spot among generations of human trialists, but even if these people perform very well during the trial and avoid the pitfalls of the secret mission, they often fall into the hands of the maintainers.

Especially when the [Trialist] does not know that there are poisonous snakes like [Maintainers] lurking in the dark.

Once they are calculated, they will definitely die in large numbers.

And it is difficult to turn over again.

I am an exception among exceptions.

After all, he has retained the memory of his previous life after two lives.

During the trial, he also knew some of the situation of the male protagonist Kirito in advance with his foresight, so he noticed something wrong with Kirito who was replaced by the maintainer and became suspicious, and then quickly killed the other party before he could gain the upper hand.

The exchange of the relationship between the bright and the dark was the main reason why he was able to kill the other party.

Replaced with the other trialists in Area 1?

As many as they went in would die.

"What exactly is the maintainer?"

"What are we trialists to the secret realm?"

The more he knew, the more doubts Li Xia had in his heart.

…

In the seventh-floor library of Aincrad.

There is also a back-up here.

Many books here can extract a "keyword".

These keywords are combined according to the order of the books, and it is also a long essay of several thousand words. The content is similar to the short essay provided by the town and NPC.

In addition, there is a cube-guarding boss, and the reward for killing it is a lot of Easter egg photos.

Then there is the laboratory on the side of the world tree.

It was originally used by Nobuyuki Sugo to do brain experiments.

Later, Li Xia adjusted it to a brain research room that only targets red-named players, orange-named players, and Nobuyuki Sugo in the SAO game world.

At this moment, eighteen artificial intelligence programs are sealed in the room.

It is the AI ​​that he copied by collecting the emotions of red-named and orange-named players and Nobuyuki Sugo.

The numbers of these AIs are very strange, all of which are a bunch of nonsensical ciphertexts such as "11/4/..." and "36/19/...". And there is a long string of such numbers above the head of each AI.

Eighteen strings of numbers represent eighteen sentences.

It is only a matter of time to translate these eighteen sentences by comparing with a dictionary in the library.

"Although my memory is gone, the diary has been preserved through the underlying data of the virtual world."

This was originally something worth celebrating and being happy about.

"But why, why did the words also reveal my love for Xia Zhijin?

But I just... changed her eyes!"

The diary clearly wrote:

Xia Zhijin has been following him like a little tail for more than a year, inseparable.

And the reason why the girl opened her eyes was entirely because of him.

And the people he originally planned to open her eyes for were only Wang Teng, Yang Jie, and Xu Che!

This shy and easily embarrassed little girl was never included!

"She opened her eyes for me?

But I took her eyes away?"

For some reason, he felt a little blocked in his heart.
