After Luo Zhen chose to log out, he thought he would immediately wake up in his bed at home.
But Luo Zhen was wrong.
After a burst of radiance, Luo Zhen discovered that he had not logged out at all. Instead, he had entered a space as pitch-black as a black hole, yet filled with incredible stars twinkling in the darkness.
"Where is this...?"
Luo Zhen immediately furrowed his brows.
But very soon, Luo Zhen realized why he had entered this space.
The reason was simple.
"Although I know you have important things to do, before that, let us meet one last time."
A voice suddenly seemed to come from an extremely distant place, reaching Luo Zhen's ears.
Luo Zhen's memories were instantly awakened by that voice.
Because Luo Zhen was quite familiar with it.
In the world of SAO, Luo Zhen had heard it many times.
"Akihiko Kayaba..."
The owner of the voice was none other than Akihiko Kayaba.
"Long time no see."
As those words were spoken, a figure clad in a white lab coat slowly seemed to emerge from the darkness, appearing before Luo Zhen.
Who else could it be besides Akihiko Kayaba?
Luo Zhen fixed his gaze on Akihiko Kayaba and narrowed his eyes.
"I never expected you to come to this world as well."
Luo Zhen spoke calmly.
Luo Zhen truly had not expected Akihiko Kayaba to be here.
What surprised him even more was that Akihiko Kayaba would actually contact him under these circumstances.
"Aren't you afraid that you'll reveal some clues in front of me, which I could then provide to the police and expose your whereabouts in the real world?"
Luo Zhen spoke with a half-smile.
At present, Akihiko Kayaba's whereabouts remained a mystery. The nation had mobilized nearly all its forces
