At this point, Kayaba Akihiko paused and summoned the image of SAO’s current appearance.

In the past, SAO started with the first floor where the starting town was located, and continuously stacked a total of 100 layers of cones upwards. However, the current SAO is based on the existing foundation, and then expanded downwards by 100 layers. It is different from the original The shape is completely symmetrical.

Kayaba Akihiko enlarged the image of SAO and continued to everyone,

“As you can see, everyone, in Aincrad,”

“100 floors of floating islands, 100 floors of abyss”

“Please remember that SAO is a game, but it is not just a game!”

“Whether it’s up or down, there is something at the end that can change the fate of the world.”

Kayaba Akihiko waved his hand, put away the image, and then said solemnly,

“You still don’t understand what you have and what SAO represents.”

“It doesn’t matter!”

“Go explore, observe with your eyes, listen with your soul, and the world will tell you the answer!”

“Now,”

“When the countdown reaches zero, SAO’s true face will be revealed to you.”

As Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking, a huge clock appeared, and at the same time the drums sounded again,

“Warriors!”

“With the sound of war drums,”

“Go and fight!”

“The future will be written by you!”

After saying these words, Kayaba Akihiko disappeared and the sky returned to its normal color, as if none of this had ever happened.

……

Only a bunch of confused players were left at the scene.

“Kirito, what does ‘SAO’s face’ mean? This Kayaba Akihiko’s words are too vague.”Klein asked Kirito, but Kirito did not answer his question. He just stared straight at the huge clock in the sky.

“It’s almost time.”

After listening to Kayaba Akihiko’s words, Kirito understood that at the end of the countdown, all doubts would be resolved.

Ten, nine, eight…two, one.

The moment the second hand on the clock completely stopped rotating,

Countless light pillars suddenly appeared in different locations throughout the first level of the world, running through the entire Aincrad.

These light pillars had no rules and appeared randomly.

And there was also a light pillar outside the Town of Beginning, the Town of Beginning Tens of thousands of people in the square looked at the beam of light.

Not all of them still had the teleportation crystal, and not all of those who owned the teleportation crystal chose to return to the starting town. Of course, there were also He didn’t take the system’s warning seriously at all, and was still practicing leveling outside.

Under the gaze of all the players, after the light pillar outside the starting town lasted for ten seconds, a strange-shaped door appeared out of thin air. The huge portal.

Click… click… creak…

The huge door gradually opened, revealing a black vortex-shaped passage.

“Is this the Gate of the Abyss?”

Kirito and all the players in Beginning Town looked at this gate and realized that this was the Gate of the Abyss mentioned in the warning.

“Look, something’s coming out!”The players standing outside exclaimed as they looked at the Gate of the Abyss.

Kirito and Klein, who were standing in the middle, also saw it, but their vision was very blurry due to the distance.

However, they still looked at it. He arrived at the iconic thing, the blood-colored pupils, and the bloody tentacle-like object behind him.

Klein stared at that thing in stunned silence.

“Kirito…did I…see it wrong? Isn’t that thing…a ghoul?……?”

Hearing Klein’s words, Kirito did not answer, but directly took Klein’s arm and ran in the opposite direction.

Regardless of whether he is a ghoul or not, let’s run away first. Let’s not talk about whether they will be afraid of facing ghouls. Let’s just say that they are only level 1 now, and their attributes are not much stronger than ordinary people. This comparison of strength is impossible to compare.!

Kirito now somewhat understands the meaning of the abyss. For the world of ghouls, the abyss is indeed an appropriate description for humans.

However, how dare Kayaba Akihiko! How dare he add ghouls into the game, how could CG allow such a game to exist, and if he did this without permission, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Neon!

Since Gen Hanyu dared to do this, he was naturally prepared in advance. This is also thanks to the Yukinoshita family. Yukinoshita Harano’s father is a prefectural council member. He uses official channels to popularize knowledge about ghouls and improve people’s prevention of ghouls. Due to this awareness, I applied for the qualification to add ghouls in the game. This was through the official Neon channel, and CG could only obey.

Moreover, in fact, most CCG investigators agree with this policy. When people increase their understanding of ghouls, it will increase the chance of inventory when facing ghouls, which means it will make their work easier.

……

As time went by, the players watched more and more ghouls emerge from the Gate of the Abyss. The legs of the peripheral players were trembling a little. Although they knew that this was just a game, they had been taught ghouls since they were young and asked them to listen. The word”ghoul” scares me, let alone seeing it with my own eyes!

“Hey… the starting town should be a safe zone. They shouldn’t be able to enter.……”One player stuttered.

But, unfortunately, his fantasy was shattered immediately…

When the number of ghouls coming out of the Gate of the Abyss reached a certain number, they all rushed towards the Town of Beginning.

There were no words, only the hungry and crazy eyes of the ghoul. When the ghoul entered the square of the starting town, the killing began, panic, shouting, running away… and the abuse of the officials, which actually appeared in the game. There are so many ghouls, and they are still playing tricks.

The scene soon became chaotic!

Half an hour later, tens of thousands of players were slaughtered by nearly a thousand ghouls. Even though Kirito and Klein had already escaped in advance, neither of them escaped.

At this time in the square, you can see patches of soul fire floating in the air from the player’s perspective.

Some players gave up their bodies and directly chose to be reborn, while some players were unwilling to give up their bodies. Their souls entered the gate of the abyss along with the ghoul who carried the corpses.

SAO’s death penalty system is very strange. After the player dies, the player can follow his body in the soul state for six hours. If someone can bring his body intact to the resurrection point, then the death penalty can be avoided.

Of course, the player can also choose to abandon his body and be reborn directly, but in this case, he will be punished by a death penalty that reduces his level by one level.

……

Soon, before the gate of the abyss closed, the ghouls carried their loot back to the abyss. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading – collect, recommend, and share! ,
