Klein could never forget Kirito's zombie-like movements and lifeless expression on Christmas Eve.

The time comes on the eve of Christmas Eve.

"Wait, you are?"

Klein looked curiously at the somewhat arrogant, even arrogant person in front of him. He was a little taller than Kirito, and his appearance was not handsome but very good-looking. His body was slender, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were filled with cold light.

He was inexplicably afraid.

"I know you, Klein, right? I heard that guy mention it often."

"You know him?"

"Well, the friendship is pretty good."

Su Chen stood as straight as a tree at the intersection. Even when talking, his eyes did not squint in other directions.

"Humph! You are only one person, and there are so many of us. Why do you fight with us? What a cute guy."

The people of the Holy Dragon Alliance felt the arrogance coming from someone, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

"I will only say this once. If you don't want to die, come and do it."

Su Chen stared at the guy who said he was cute, and then said calmly.

At this moment, [Nicholas the Renegade] refreshed.

The people from the Holy Dragon Alliance looked at each other and rushed towards the boss in unison. In fact, no player took Su Chen's words seriously.

"Ah...I...my hand!!"

A player who was about to rush to Su Chen was struck by a sudden flash of sword light. One of his arms instantly fell to the ground and turned into pieces of data.

For a time, the people of the Holy Dragon Alliance were also frightened by his ruthless methods.

"This sword is just a warning. If anyone dares to cross this point again, please be prepared to die. I am not kidding!"

Looking at Su Chen, whose name was yellowed due to intentional harm, Klein suddenly felt a little scared, and his whole body even trembled. Everyone also stood there blankly. They all looked at the unknown and mysterious player in front of them, with a twinge in their eyes.

There was a look of fear. For a moment, no one in the Holy Dragon Alliance dared to move.

After some time passed, someone from the Holy Dragon Alliance couldn't bear the inexplicably uncomfortable atmosphere and actually left the team alone and ran away.

"He is a madman, a devil. I don't want to stay here anymore, I will die!!"

These were his last words before leaving.

Afterwards, everyone in the Holy Dragon Alliance looked at each other, with the same fear and similar expressions, and they all fled the maze in fear.

Su Chen was actually under a lot of pressure, because to be honest, he was really not sure that he could stop the entire Holy Dragon Alliance, although he already had the heart to kill people.

Watching the Holy Dragon leave, Su Chen secretly sighed in his heart. At the same time, he turned his attention to everyone in Fenglinhuoshan. Because even though Klein and Kirito have an unusual relationship, they are competitors after all.

.

"Well......"

Klein looked at Su Chen who was looking at him, his whole body tensed up, and the words he had planned were shattered by the sharp eyes when he reached his mouth.

"I just wanted to help him, there was no harm in doing it."

"I know."

"..."

Time passed minute by minute.

"Kirito! You..."

Facing Kirito walking out of the forest, Klein, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was okay. However, something was wrong with his condition.

Facing the lost Kirito, Su Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his somewhat excited heart calmed down. The worst news was that the information about the resurrection crystal was false, so he could just look for it again.

"This is a resurrection item, but it cannot be used on people who have died before..."

As Kirito's stiff voice sounded, the resurrection crystal was placed in Su Chen's hand.

Su Chen clicked on the crystal's instruction list with trembling hands.

[Choose to use the item from the automatic menu, or hold it in your hand and shout (resurrection: player name). As long as it is used within the period between the death of the target player and the complete disappearance of the effect light (about ten seconds),

This will revive the target player.】

"Ten seconds? Haha, Kayaba, you know how to play! Bastard!"

Su Chen roared in a low voice, and then smashed the resurrection item in his hand called the [Saint Crystal of Resurrection] on the ground with all his strength.

“Go to the resurrection props, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

After venting his shock, Su Chen also regained his composure and threw the [Sacred Crystal of Resurrection] on the ground towards Klein like garbage.

"Take it and save the next person who dies in front of you!"

"..."

Looking at the Resurrection Stone in his hand, Klein felt very uncomfortable. The expressions of disappointment and pain shown by Kirito and this mysterious player after seeing the crystal suddenly made people feel heartbroken.

"Kirito, let's talk."

Su Chen suddenly said to Kirito.

Kirito just nodded with dull eyes.

"Klein, Kirito and I will take the first step."

"..."

Klein nodded and said nothing, because he couldn't think of anything to comfort them at the moment, so he could only watch them leave quietly.

"Also, I'm sorry for what happened today. It caused you a lot of trouble. I will make it up to you next time. Goodbye everyone."

This was the scene where Klein met Su Chen for the first time. As a result, even after everyone became familiar with each other, he still didn't dare to look directly at Su Chen, leaving Su Chen speechless.

I don't know how he walked back, but when Kirito came back to his senses, he found that he was already in the hotel on the 49th floor, and Su Chen was standing quietly in front of the window, looking out the window with eyes wandering.

Dumb. His expression alternates between crying and laughing, which makes people feel very weird.

Although he said he wanted to talk to Kirito, to be honest, Su Chen actually didn't know what to say to Kirito. Should he give up carrying these sins and bear them all by himself? Or should he continue to look for that hopeless person?

Resurrection method?

The two people in the room were each thinking about how to proceed in the future. No one spoke, and the silence was so terrifying.

No one cared how much time had passed, but a strange alarm sound reached their ears. Although the sound was very small, it seemed so harsh in the silent space.

"Is that your alarm clock?"

Su Chen asked silently.

Kirito shook his head and looked around.

Finally, I was confused and took out a crystal prop for leaving a message from the prop space.

"This, this is?"

"This is the recording crystal that Yuki put in the inventory that she and I share."

As he spoke, Kirito touched the crystal with trembling fingers and placed it on the table.

"Kirito, Merry Christmas!"

The familiar voice could be vaguely heard from inside. At this moment, Su Chen wanted to escape, but his feet were filled with lead, forcing him to move.

"When you hear this conversation, I think I am probably dead. If I were still alive, the words in the crystal are what I would like to say myself."

"How should I put it? The reason why I think I can't live long is not because Kirito is not strong enough, nor is it because the Black Cat Group is too weak. It is because I am weak! Weaker than anyone else in the group.

, I could see the slight disappointment in Brother Ling Xiao’s eyes when he taught me how to use the one-handed sword, and I also knew that my talent was very poor.”

"A while ago, a good friend of mine died. She was from another group. She was a coward like me. She would only level up in a safe place. Because she was alone, she was killed by a monster in the end.

.I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out, no matter how strong the partners around you are, if you don’t have the determination to live, then no one can save you.”

"Actually, I didn't want to go hunting from the beginning. I hate fighting and don't want to fight. I don't even want to take a step out of the starting town. Although I am happy to be with everyone, I have no intention of fighting.

Brother Ling Xiao seems to have noticed it. Sometimes he will tell me that if you fight with this attitude, you will die! But I am still very scared. I think that if one day I die, it will probably be my own.

It’s a question.”

"Kirito, thank you for always comforting me every night. I think if I died, Kirito would be very sad, and he might cry sadly. But what I want to say is that this is my problem, not yours.

Wrong, everything is caused by my heart that does not want to survive."

"Actually, I've known how strong Kirito is since that day. I've watched it secretly."

"Although occasionally I am bullied by Brother Ling Xiao, I know that it was you who let him. Haha, if Brother Ling Xiao hears me secretly speaking ill of him, he will knock me on the head. Don't tell him.

oh!"

"I occasionally thought about Kirito's reason for hiding his level and fighting with us, but I never thought of it. Maybe one day you would tell us yourself. So, I didn't tell anyone else in the meeting. In short, I know that you are very

I'm very happy after seeing the very powerful fact. I think if I am by your side, I will be able to sleep peacefully."

"Uh, um... Actually, after saying so much, I just want to say that even if I die, please don't be sad for Kirito and Brother Ling Xiao. In short, we must work hard to live until the end, if possible.

Please help me find a meaning, the meaning of a coward like me coming to this world, or the meaning of me meeting you, this is my wish."

"I heard that this recording crystal can record for a long time. Since it's Christmas, little girl is not talented, so let's sing a song."

"Kirito, have you ever heard of the red-nosed elk? That's..."

As the melodious singing voice came from the crystal, Kirito couldn't help but lowered his head and cried.

Su Chen really wanted to hear Xing singing and singing, but the singing stopped suddenly.

"Okay, goodbye Kirito. By the way, if you can, please give me a message to Brother Ling Xiao. Well, after thinking about it, I said, 'My useless apprentice has embarrassed him. If you can, please don't

Hit me on the head, it hurts!’ Well, I really have to say goodbye this time!”

"It's so great to meet you and be by your side!"
