A Noteworthy Character (Moon Tickets Requested)
Seeing the astonished and dumbfounded expressions that none of them had ever shown before, Luo Zhen could only smile wryly inwardly, except for Naoha, who was at a loss because she did not know what was going on.
Originally, Luo Zhen had not really wanted to tell them about this.
As SAO players, unlike Luo Zhen himself, who had long since transcended common sense, the companions around him were merely ordinary people.
He knew very well what kind of shock they would suffer once the name "Laughing Coffin" was mentioned to them.
It had once been the killing guild closest to them, had threatened them before, and was by no means unfamiliar to them. They had even directly interacted with its members. Yet now, nearly a year after the SAO incident, it had reappeared in the world. What exactly did that mean to people who had finally escaped and returned to reality?
It meant that the devil had appeared once again.
It had appeared in their world.
"You're kidding... right?"
Fear appeared on Silika, Liz, and Xing's faces.
"Tch...!"
Kirito, Klein, and Agil clicked their tongues as well, visibly shaken.
As ordinary players in SAO, the former had heard about the terror of "Laughing Coffin" more than once. Knowing that they were a group of murderous players who acted without restraint, they had spent plenty of time worrying and fearing that they would be ambushed and killed by those lawless people outside the Safe Zone. Thus, the name of that guild had practically become synonymous with terror.
The latter needed no explanation. As members of the Strategy Group, they had directly fought Laughing Coffin's members before. They knew exactly how unpredictable they were, and even more clearly understood how hateful and terrifying they were.
