"Boring proposal, I have things to do."
POH declined Hiruko Kobinai's invitation to fight. He had seen Hiruko Kobinai fighting with other guild members. As a killer, he quickly realized that Kobinai was also a very powerful killer in real life. Even with the level suppression, he came to the conclusion that he would lose, so he had no plans to fight Hiruko Kobinai.
However, with such a powerful criminal player sitting in the Smiling Coffin, when external enemies attack, Hiruko Kobinai will become a powerful trump card in the Smiling Coffin. That's why he let Hiruko Kobinai stay in the guild.
As for the players she killed? POH didn't care at all. Those guys died at the hands of Hiruko Kobinai because they were too weak and had no vision. They just deserved it.
…………
On the second level, the Whispering Wind Plains, a large number of wild wolves were wandering leisurely on the grass, and from time to time, team players would rush out to fight with the wild wolves.
In a corner of the grassland, a girl with dark brown hair was fighting with a wild wolf. The dagger in her hand was as flexible as a poisonous snake, clearing the wolf's HP through multiple strikes. Then the girl picked up the materials dropped by the wild wolf and walked towards the next wild wolf that spawned.
Asada Shino, that's her name.
Why... did you play SAO? That's a long story.
In the past, she took up a gun and shot a robber to protect her mother who was threatened by the robbers during a bank robbery. This incident left her with a serious psychological trauma.
Later, she discovered that if she was called a murderer, she would fall into an uncontrollable panic state and be unable to resist. So she was bullied by her neighbors and classmates at school, and suffered from school violence for a long time.
Afterwards, she finally left her hometown to study in another city, but her classmate Endo somehow found out about the events that happened in her childhood, and she was once again caught up in school bullying.
This time she couldn't take it anymore, so she stayed indoors and stopped going to school. She locked herself in the house and lived an autistic life until she saw the promotion of SAO.
Since she couldn't escape the title of a nightmare murderer in real life, she might as well live a brand new life in the game. Thinking this way, Shino Asada luckily bought a SAO gaming helmet and logged into the game.
To be honest, when she learned that SAO announced by Kayaba Akihiko was a death game, she adapted to SAO very well after the initial surprise.
Maybe it’s because of the crisis of dying in childhood?
After all, people can die in traffic accidents in real life, so at this time, Asada Shino didn't think SAO was such a bad world.
It was not until one battle that she made a mistake and failed to provide support to her teammates in time, causing them to die in front of her. At that moment, Asada Shino realized firsthand that this was a death game.
The hatred in the other person's eyes and the fear of death made her feel cold all over.
Due to the psychological trauma of her childhood, she blamed herself for the death of her dead teammate. If she hadn't made a mistake, that person wouldn't have died... After a long period of thinking, she, with her almost twisted mind, came to the conclusion that that person was an innocent person who was killed by her own hands.
From this moment on, Asada Shino fell into despair. She thought she was indeed a murderer. When she was a child, she killed the robber, which only showed her potential as a murderer.
Later, due to this wrong way of thinking, and the fact that she was too introverted and had no friends to guide her, Shino Asada finally rejected all invitations to form a team, and began to strive to survive in SAO alone.
As long as I don’t have teammates, I won’t kill others and I can just live alone.
For her, who has a certain talent for the game SAO, this is not the worst thing.
But one day, two orange-named players blocked her on her way back to the city and used violence against her.
She didn't dare to fight back. If she did, what would she do if she killed the other person again?
In the end, the other party extorted the Cole and materials she obtained from killing monsters, and left... She sadly discovered that even if she escaped into the virtual world, she still could not escape the fate of being bullied.
After that, Asada Shino originally wanted to stay in the hotel and not go out, but SAO made her feel hungry. After enduring four days of excruciating hunger, she was forced to go out and fight monsters. With the meager money she earned, she bought bread to fill her stomach.
After that, she would be blackmailed by orange-named players every once in a while, but Shino Asada just endured it. After all, she had been bullied for a long time when she was in elementary school, and she had basically gotten used to it. No one would know about her pain.
Although her mother tried hard to help her, school bullying is not something that can be easily solved. At this point, Asada Shino actually thought about committing suicide.
But in the end she still didn't dare to commit suicide. It takes a certain amount of courage to commit suicide.
After realizing that she didn't have the courage to commit suicide, Asada Shino still chose to kill monsters and earn money to survive hard in the low-level layers. She thought that it would pass if she just endured it... or something like that.
Until now, three red-named players appeared in front of her.
She knew all three of these people. They were old acquaintances... old acquaintances who robbed her. She also read the rules of SAO carefully. A red name meant that this player had killed someone. These three people... had truly taken the lives of others. Was it her turn now?
Asada Shino wanted to turn around and run away, but because of her fear, she couldn't escape at all.
"I, I'll give you the money and materials...let me go...okay?"
Asada Shino asked in a trembling voice.
"Ha! That won't do. Just some Cole and some low-level junk! Do you think we'll be satisfied?"
The leading red-named player named Ju Shan Lide shouted.
"Ah!!! Well, then what do you want to do?"
Asada Shino, like a frightened bird, asked in fear.
"Turn off the anti-harassment system and voluntarily accompany us for comfort, and we will let you go."
With an evil smile on his face, Toshitoku Koyama approached Asada Shino step by step.
In the game SAO, there is a marriage system, and the organs completely reproduce the organs in real life. Because of this, SAO is also equipped with an anti-harassment system to protect women's rights. Unless the players themselves initiate prosecution, this anti-harassment system can easily wipe out any player.
This was also the reason why the three men did not dare to attack Asada Shino's body before.
"Don't play tricks, okay? If you trigger that mechanism, even if I die, my two companions will kill you. If you want to survive, I advise you to just obey us."
Kushiyama Toshitoku slowly extended his hand towards Asada Shino's face. Even if touching her face was considered harassment, it would not result in an instant kill. At most, a bolt of lightning would take away 30% of his health. This was to prevent female players from intentionally using the anti-harassment system to instantly kill male players.
That's why he dared to do this.
Kimura Ritoku, who was ready to be struck by lightning, was not punished by the system, which meant that Asada Shino had been obedient and did not initiate any investigation.
In fact, when that rough hand touched her face, Shino Asada was already heartbroken. She didn't understand why she had to suffer such unfair treatment, but as Toshitoku Kusama said, even if he was eliminated through system sanctions, the other two players would kill her without hesitation... She had no way to resist.
The light in Asada Shino's pupils disappeared, and it didn't matter anymore.
"Wuhu!!! Big brother, hurry up, this pretty girl, when you're almost done, let's take over!"
Ju Shan Lide's two younger brothers couldn't wait to urge him over.
"Why rush? This guy has been tamed, you can play with him however you want!"
Koyama Toshinori pushed Asada Shino to the grass and was about to reach out to touch other parts of Asada Shino's body when he heard the crisp sound of a player's body exploding after death behind him.
"!!!"
Ju Shanlide immediately stood up and looked back, and a black one-handed sword had pierced his body. The blood groove changed from green to red at a speed visible to the naked eye and then completely emptied.
"how come..."
After leaving the last three words, Ju Shanlide watched Moyin's expressionless face explode into spots of light.
"Hey, are you okay, huh?"
After killing the perpetrator of Smiling Coffin, Moyin was surprised to find that the female player lying on the ground with a deathly pale face was actually Asada Shino.
In fact, after he got the information from Kobinai, he teleported here directly. As a result, he saw Jushan Lide and the other two as soon as he arrived.
Asada Shino, lying on the grass, did not answer Moyin's words. She just lay quietly on the ground like a doll, looking at the sky of SAO with dull eyes.
"Um, Ms. Shino?"
Moyin gently patted Asada Shino's cheek, but still got no response.
“This is really…”
Moyin stopped talking and just sat down next to Asada Shino who was lying on the ground, waiting for her to recover.
After all, Asada Shino seemed to be unable to hear her own voice now, so he had some idea why Shino was in this state.
At the same time, in the underworld, G36, who was dealing with soul affairs, heard Moyin's voice through the Blood Stone.
"Don't just turn Komaba Reid and his two accomplices into insect embryos or kill them. Imprison them first."
"learn."
After replying with the Blood God Stone in hand, G36 called Nan Li and gave him a few instructions, and Nan Li immediately accepted the order.
During this period of time, many people died in his world, including his former subordinates. So Nanli recruited these former subordinates to guard the underworld. In this way, G36 would not have to do all the small matters in the underworld himself, and could just tell Nanli to do them.
Asada Shino lay on the grassland for fifteen hours until her character's satiety reached zero and she felt a nagging feeling of hunger, then she sat up.
"Are you hungry? Want to eat something?"
An apple was handed to him.
Asada Shino took the apple and began to bite it silently. She started to cry while biting it.
Facing the silent crying Asada Shino, Moyin didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. If it was his own Humanoid or Initiate who was crying, he would definitely hug her gently and comfort her, and kill all the things that the Humanoid or Initiate hated.
But his relationship with Asada Shino is not that good yet. If he suddenly hugs her, it might bring her a greater psychological trauma. She might even mistakenly think that he also covets her body and cause her greater harm.
As for the three members of Laughing Coffin who had abused her, he had already killed them, and even had his souls temporarily imprisoned by G36 while waiting for Asada Shino to judge the three people herself. However, at this stage, he really had no way to deal with the crying Asada Shino.
After all, Asada Shino's problem is not anything else but her psychological trauma, which cannot be solved by simple comfort.
"Why... Why do I always encounter such things in my life? When I was young, I encountered a robber, and then I was bullied in elementary school. Even after moving to another city to go to school, the previous incidents would be investigated and I would be bullied again."
"Even if I escaped to the game world, I still have to face such unfair things... Why is it so?"
Asada Shino asked painfully. She was not intending to get an answer from Moyin, she just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction.
"I can't answer this question for you, but I can tell you how to change the current situation."
Unexpectedly, Moyin answered the question that she had no intention of getting an answer to seriously. Asada Shino subconsciously turned her head to look at Moyin.
"What's the solution?"
"Resist and become the winner so you won't be bullied. As long as you become stronger than the one who bullies you, no one will dare to bully you, right?"
"I...can't...do it...This is a death game, and I'm...afraid of killing others."
Asada Shino said painfully.
"why?"
What Asada Shino never expected was that Moyin was asking herself why with a serious look on her face.
"W-why? That's murder, right?!"
"Don't they deserve to die? As red-named players, they have killed other players before, not to mention that they just tried to assault you. Isn't killing these scums a contribution to cleaning up society?"
Mo Yin asked back.
"But, but... killing is wrong..."
"Did anyone tell you it was wrong the last time you killed someone?"
"!!!!?"
Being, being seen through, this was the first reaction in Shino Asada’s mind. . . The man who had just saved her knew her past. . .
But... But, his question... This... She couldn't answer.
