The Experimental Subject Reservoir is a purgatory-like testing site where 300 original SAO players were used as guinea pigs to study simulation experiments on manipulating the brain to control thinking.

Su Chen looked at the person who looked exactly like him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It was exactly what he had guessed.

The person who appeared in front of Su Chen like a mirror image just smiled slightly, looked around the surrounding scene with his golden eyes, and walked slowly towards Su Chen without saying anything.

"Hey! Don't you have anything to explain?"

Su Chen couldn't help it anymore. He had worked so hard to get here, but now the scene was unusually quiet, which was really unreasonable.

"Well, since you've already come this far, you should be able to guess something." Ignoring Su Chen's inquiry, 'Su Chen' came to him, looked up and down for a while, and said calmly,

"Hey, there's still some growth. That guy's qualifications are passable, but they're still too bad. It should be easier at this level."

Seeing the guy in front of him commenting on himself for a long time and saying a lot of sarcastic words, the most important thing was that he didn't know how to refute him. Su Chen's forehead was full of black lines.

Seeing Su Chen looking like he was about to explode, 'Su Chen' waved his hand and said casually: "Hey, I don't mean anything else, I'm just feeling emotional."

"I'm going to chop you!"

"Oh, can you do that?"

"..."

Seeing Su Chen's angry and helpless look, he burst out laughing.

"Sorry, sorry, it's so fun to tease you, I can't help it, haha..."

"Okay, now you should be able to tell me why you are here."

Although Su Chen was unhappy with this guy's previous teasing, those doubts still prompted him to calm down.

He looked at Su Chen indifferently, and didn't seem to care about Su Chen's indifferent tone. His eyes were slightly solemn when he glanced at the black system console behind him. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he looked back.

Staring at Su Chen, he said calmly.

"Before talking about this, I want to tell you about your origin."

"Huh? My origin?"

"Well, yes, your origin..."

...

In the dusk, the two people hugging each other confided their thoughts, and the world seemed to stay at this moment.

"Let's go back to the real world!"

Kirito said to Asuna with a firm voice.

But Asuna's whole body was trembling a little, and her happy expression solidified. Looking at Asuna's expression, Kirito felt a little uneasy.

"Yui, can Asuna exit from here?"

Facing Kirito's question, Yui shook her head sadly.

"Mom's status is tied up by a complicated code. To unblock it, you must have system administrator rights."

Kirito frowned when he heard Yui's answer, but Asuna seemed to have thought of something.

"I saw a similar system console in the lab. If you use the card, you should be able to use system permissions."

Kirito nodded, he was able to come up all because of this card.

Just when the three of them were about to go to the laboratory, suddenly the surrounding landscape shattered like a mirror, the birdcage also disappeared in an instant, and darkness enveloped the three of them.

"What's going on!?"

Asuna's whole body seemed to be suppressed, her body seemed to be filled with lead, and it was very difficult to even stand. Kirito was kneeling on one knee, with a ferocious look on his face, desperately resisting the abnormality in his body.

Finally, the warm dusk just now was completely enveloped in darkness. No, it should be replaced.

There was nothing around, and the three of them fell into a dark world.

"Yui, what happened?"

Just as Kirito asked with difficulty, Yui, who was surrounded by Asuna, suddenly screamed and her whole body was enveloped by abnormal electricity.

"Dad...Mom...be careful, something bad is coming...!"

Before he finished speaking, the purple electric current on Yui's body began to become stronger and stronger, and then, Yui's body scattered like ashes.

"Yui!"

Asuna looked at the empty place in front of her, with some disbelief on her face.

"Asuna!"

"Kirito!"

In this dark environment, the two of them felt increasingly uneasy.

"Bang"

Just when the two were about to come into contact with each other, an even stronger weight hit them.

Even Kirito was helpless and fell to the ground under the strong pressure of gravity. Only his hands were still holding on to the invisible floor.

The same goes for Asuna.

"Hey...hey, don't scare me, okay? A strange animal actually broke into the bird's cage. It's really surprising?"

The voice was so familiar that a person immediately appeared in Kirito's mind.

"It's you...Sugou!!"

"Tsk tsk, please don't call me that in this world. Please address me as Elf King Oberon... Your Majesty!!"

As soon as the words fell, Kirito's strong body was instantly kicked to the ground by a heavy kick. A man appeared next to Kirito, wearing a green long coat. His delicate and beautiful face looked very evil at the moment, and his lips were grinning.

Open, he smiled sarcastically.

Kirito turned his head and stared carefully at the guy in front of him who called himself Oberon. Yes, even if his appearance had changed, his identity had changed, and his name had changed, he knew very well that this guy was Sugou, the one who was in Asia.

The guy showing evil desires in front of Sina's bed is the bastard who cannot be forgiven no matter what.

"Well, how do you feel? You can't move, right?" Sugou stepped on Kirito's head and said with a pleasant smile, "This is the gravity magic that is scheduled to be introduced in the next upgrade. The effect looks pretty good.

, don’t you think?”

"Stop it, you despicable villain."

Asuna yelled angrily.

Sugou ignored Asuna's voice, still stared at Kirito lying on the ground, and continued to ask with interest.

"Speaking of which, Kiritani, no, it's better to call you Kirito. How did you get up here? There seemed to be a strange program running just now. Are you up to something?"

Kirito's heart tightened, he must not let this guy know about Yui.

"...Of course I flew up with these wings."

Holding on to the weakness of his body, Kirito materialized the wings and said in a calm tone.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'll just ask your brain and I'll find out."

"What?"

Kirito's expression suddenly changed, and he felt vaguely unhappy.

"Don't you think that I developed this game just to find something to do?" Sugou smiled mockingly at Kirito, "With the sacrifice of as many as 300 original SAO players, the thinking and memory manipulation technology has been developed."

About 80% of the basic research has been completed, and the direct soul manipulation technique that no one has succeeded in so far will be controlled by me, hahahaha..."

"This godlike privilege will soon be mine!"

In the eyes of Kirito and Asuna, Sugou's face at this moment became more and more ferocious, even a little scary, while Kirito felt that Sugou's words were even more shocking. 300 original SAO players, control thoughts, control souls, gods

Right, this guy...

"I won't let you... succeed... you crazy guy..."

"Oh~, what a pity." Sugou picked up Kirito's heavy sword that fell on the ground and waved it around casually, the sarcastic smile on his face became more wanton, "There are no gods in this world except me!"

"Okay, before your souls are tampered with, let's have an exciting party."

"Pa"

With a snap of his fingers, two chain shackles fell from the infinite darkness at the same time. Looking at Sugou's movements, Kirito roared angrily.

"What do you want to do?"

Humming a song and locking the shackles on Asuna's hands, Sugou turned around and showed an evil smile.

"Didn't I tell you to have an exciting party~"

...

Su Chen's expression gradually became weird.

If according to what this guy said, he is a new personality created by merging the 'Su Chen' of this world, then all the previous doubts can be explained.

After all, in the past two years, I have always felt that there are some contradictions in various aspects in the game. Both my personality and behavior are not very similar to before. Although my subconscious is not too entangled in these aspects, the contradictory feeling has always existed. Now it seems

It's because of that guy's influence.
