Looking at everyone's shocked and sluggish expression, Rozen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, except for Naoha, who was at a loss because he didn't know what to do.
Originally, Rozen didn't want to tell everyone about this.
As a SAO player, Rozen's companions were just ordinary people, unlike Rozen who was beyond common sense.
For them, once mentioning the name of Laughing Coffin, Rozen knew very well what kind of impact they would receive.
The Assassin Guild, which was the closest to them and once threatened them, was definitely not a stranger to them, and they even had direct contact with them. But now, almost a year after the SAO incident, the Assassin Guild reappeared in the world. What does this mean for them after they finally got out of trouble and returned to reality?
It meant that the devil had appeared again.
Appeared in their own world.
"It's a lie … right?"
Celica, Liz, and Sachi's faces were filled with fear.
"Tsk …!"
Kirito, Klein, and Aikir were also shocked and shaken.
As an ordinary Player in SAO, the former had heard about the terror of Laughing Coffin more than once. Knowing that Laughing Coffin was a group of lawless, murderous Players, he used to be afraid of being ambushed by those lawless Players outside of the Safe Zone. That was why the guild's name was synonymous with terror.
As a member of the Clearers, he had fought against Laughing Coffin's members in the past, so he knew just how terrifying and hateful they were. It was impossible for him not to be shaken by the Clearers' decision.
With that in mind, Rozan Can didn't want to reveal this matter.
Unfortunately, tonight, Rozen was bound to fight Death Gun, which would implicate the matter of Laughing Coffin's remaining members, and the BoB tournament would be broadcasted to all of VRMMO. By then, there was a high chance that this matter would be leaked.
In that case, instead of waiting for them to fall into an uncontrollable chaos, it was better to make it clear now so that everyone could be mentally prepared.
However, before that, everyone was bound to be in chaos.
"Is … is this true? Boss Rozen! "
Klein finally reacted and was the first to shout at Rozen.
Kirito and the others also looked at Rozen.
Even though everyone knew that Rozen's judgment had always been the most accurate, they still wanted to further confirm it with Rozen's own mouth.
Rozen understood everyone's feelings and nodded.
"It's true."
Rozen said expressionlessly.
"In yesterday's preliminaries, I met him."
So Rozen told Rozen everything that happened after he encountered Death Gun and confirmed his identity.
After hearing that, everyone was speechless.
“It's
Showtime...”
Kirito mumbled.
"That is indeed PoH's favorite line …"
Klein's expression was very ugly.
"You're that short sword user who uses a kitchen knife, right?"
Aikir's face tightened.
"Could … could it be that Rozen -bro made a mistake?"
"Yes … Yes, it's just a line, anyone can say it."
"I … I think so too!"
Celica, Liz, and Sachi expressed their opinions with some hope and some uneasiness.
But at this time, Naoba shook his head.
"Since big brother remembers that person, it proves that he is not just a guy who uses the same line as the person you mentioned, but someone that big brother has met before."
Naoba still didn't understand what was going on, but it was clear that it was not a trivial matter, so he helped everyone analyze it.
This made everyone speechless again, and the atmosphere became more and more heavy.
Yasna already held Rozen's hand and looked at him with a worried look.
"Could that person be PoH?"
Yasna's voice was full of worry, and she voiced out the biggest anxiety in everyone's heart.
If the other party was really PoH, then they were in big trouble.
After all, not only was PoH the leader of Laughing Coffin, but he was also the source of almost all crimes in SAO. He was the one who researched many ways to kill people using system loopholes and actively spread them to the public. He was also the one who incited evil in the dark, causing more and more criminals to fall into his trap, one by one, and eventually walk down the road of no return.
If Death Shot was really PoH, then it proved that PoH had once again developed a new way to kill people. Even after clearing SAO, PoH was still unscrupulously using the game's system loopholes to kill people.
If that was the case, then it was no small matter.
What's more, PoH himself wasn't that easy to deal with. Otherwise, Rozen wouldn't have spent so much effort to get rid of the Killer Guild that PoH led, and in the end, he still managed to escape.
PoH wasn't a simple character. Even if he wasn't as strong as Rozen, he was still particularly tricky to deal with.
In Rozen's view, aside from the difference in strength, PoH was no less than Jess.
That alone made PoH worthy of Rozen's attention.
Unfortunately …
"No, he's not that PoH guy."
Rozen calmly denied Yasna's statement.
"The person who appeared in front of me yesterday is completely different from that PoH guy."
Rozen clearly remembered that in addition to his exotic and handsome appearance, PoH was also a multilingual user who was proficient in at least three languages.
His fluent Japanese, English, and Spanish gave him the ability to speak like a professional DJ. Coupled with his unique voice full of vitality and charisma, it was easy for him to change the values of the Players around him. That was the reason why he was able to form a ruthless, stubborn, and cruel illegal organization.
If this guy appeared in front of Rozen, the two of them wouldn't have just exchanged a few words yesterday.
Moreover, if he was really PoH, he definitely wouldn't have risked appearing in front of Rozen.
After all, Rozen only thought that PoH should be taken seriously, but PoH was genuinely hostile and afraid of Rozen.
That was the reason why PoH once led two of Laughing Coffin's cadres to ambush Rozen in SAO. He plotted against Rozen, but failed in the end. If PoH had developed a new way to kill people in the game, he wouldn't have deliberately appeared in front of Rozen to alert Rozen. Instead, he would've been lying in ambush. Before Rozen paid attention to this matter, Rozen was still looking down on Rozen. He was still treating the journey in GGO as a game, waiting for an opportunity to ambush Rozen.
That was the most likely way to succeed.
However, the other party boldly showed up in front of Rozen and took the initiative to alert him. This was definitely not something that a smart guy like PoH would do.
Not to mention, the way the other party spoke was completely different from PoH. He didn't have a unique tone like PoH at all. Instead, he spoke in a hoarse and stuttering manner. That was definitely not PoH's way of speaking.
In light of that, Rozen was sure that the other party was not PoH.
However, even if he wasn't PoH, he was definitely not an ordinary Player.
In Naoye's words, that was …
"The fact that I have an impression of him already proves that he's not a nobody. He's definitely someone important enough to attract the attention of my past self."
Rozen narrowed his eyes.
"As long as there's no mistake, then he should be the person I guessed."
Rozen said so.
