Tang Hao had no way of knowing what happened in the Red Devils. After all, Amethyst was not an idol. She only watched other people's livestreams, but she never streamed herself.
However, in less than half an hour, he received a message from Amethyst, saying that it was already done. This surprised Tang Hao, but it also confirmed once again that Reemilia was indeed a very easy child to deal with.
"By the way, Reemilia asked me to tell you that next time, I'll teach you a lesson."
Huh?
When he heard this sentence from Amethyst's mouth, Tang Hao was dumbfounded. Reemilia wanted him to teach him a lesson? Did that mean she was unhappy with him? But, did he offend her in any way?
Alright, it's true that I often ridiculed her. Back when I was writing, I often used the young lady of the Red Fiend Tavern as a negative example. I've also secretly mocked her for her lack of dignity, but … Reemilia wouldn't know about this. Besides, I'm also a twisted fan of Reemilia. Ridiculing her is a sign of love, so why would she punish me for this? It's completely groundless!
"What the hell is going on? Why does she want me to teach her a lesson? "Tang Hao couldn't help but ask.
Amethyst: "How would I know? Maybe you did something to make her angry. For example, you left Sakura in the Red Devils, but you didn't take care of her and let her stay as a nanny. Over time, she started to hate you."
"That can happen?"
Tang Hao was speechless. Although he knew that Reemilia wasn't such a petty person, there was indeed something fishy about this incident. But just because of this … Could it be that Zi Mei had said something bad about him in front of Reemilia?
Tang Hao couldn't help but think about it, but then he thought that Amethyst wouldn't be so unscrupulous.
Ah, forget it. Anyway, since Reemilia was willing to let Yasuo come over, it means it's not a big deal. I'll just ignore it.
Tang Hao shook his head, then went to pick up the people in the fantasy land.
"Which one of you is free now?" Tang Hao immediately contacted Kirito and Asuna.
He was also a guest in this world. Although the cooldown time of the teleportation skill was shortened after his reputation increased, he still needed six days. He didn't have that much time to waste right now. On the other hand, Asuna and Kirito didn't need any teleportation skill to return to this world, so they could be brought back instantly.
After listening to Tang Hao's explanation, Asuna immediately replied, "I don't think I can. My cooldown is still on cooldown."
"Oh, right." Only then did Tang Hao remember that Asuna had already used up her teleportation points to accompany him home for the New Year. It had only been four days, so it was impossible for her to recover so quickly.
"Then it can only be Kirito, Kirito, go find Amethyst in the Land of Fantasy and pick someone up."
"Alright."
Kirito immediately responded. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in Yakumo's house. He was quite familiar with Yasuo, so there was no communication barrier. Soon, Yasuo arrived in Aincrad.
"Huh?" As soon as he arrived in Aincrad, Yasuo was slightly taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Kirito asked quickly, "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's not a big deal." Dark Night shook his head with a smile and moved his hands. "When I heard you say that this is a game world, I thought there would be more restrictions. In the end, other than a subtle sense of incongruity, it doesn't seem to be much different from the real world."
"Because the fusion of the two worlds has reached a late stage." Kirito explained, "According to the president, this world will gradually develop into the real world, so the restrictions on the people in the outside world will become less and less … Of course, if you came yesterday, there may also be some lag."
"Well, let's talk about this later. Let's go see Tang Ritian first."
"Okay."
There was nothing special about the meeting between Tang Hao and Yasuo. After all, the relationship between the two was quite ordinary. At most, they were landlord and tenant. Yasuo also had a business-like attitude. Although he was relatively indifferent, Tang Hao was very satisfied. If he was the type of person who laughed all day long, he would not be suitable for this mission.
"I see, are you going to the opposite world to investigate? I'm really good at this. "Yasuo nodded after listening to Tang Hao's explanation." So, when do we leave? "
"There's no hurry, Kayaba Akihiko hasn't opened the portal yet, and our team is still missing one person. Before that, you can adapt to this world first."
"There doesn't seem to be a need for that. My adaptability is quite strong, and I can survive no matter what kind of environment I'm in, but …" Dark Night suddenly remembered Reemilia's words. This mission could be treated as a relaxing vacation. "Maybe it's good to take a look first."
Tang Hao was talking with Yasuo, and at this moment, Asuna's message suddenly came.
[Guild leader, there might be news of Kurumi!]
When Tang Hao saw it, he was immediately overjoyed.
[Really? Where is she?]
Asuna quickly reported a location. It was a forest on the fifteenth floor.
Fifteenth floor? Wasn't it the twenty-second floor?
Tang Hao was slightly stunned. In the story of the Sword and Saber Realm, Kurumi was found somewhere on the twenty-second floor. However, this world had changed a lot, and it was not impossible for Kurumi to escape to other places.
Therefore, Tang Hao immediately took Yasuo and used the fixed-point teleportation ability to go to the location that Asuna mentioned.
When Tang Hao arrived, Asuna had already arrived, and there was a female player beside her.
As soon as she saw Tang Hao, Asuna immediately waved and greeted him, "Is Kurumi here?"
Tang Hao walked forward and asked, "Is Kurumi here?"
"No, we don't have accurate information right now. It's actually just a rough clue." Asuna shook her head, then pointed at the female player beside her and said, "The clue was provided by this lady, and I heard her say it just now … I'm sorry, can you say it again?"
This lady was just an ordinary idle player. Her level was not high, and her equipment was not particularly good. Otherwise, she would not be wandering in a low-level map like the fifteenth floor.
After listening to her explanation, Tang Hao finally understood what was going on.
To put it simply, it was a ghost phenomenon.
Although this lady's combat level was not high, she was a slightly famous Profession Player. She often collected materials in low-level maps that were not dangerous. Some time ago, she took a fancy to the forest on the fifteenth floor, and it happened to have the materials she needed, so she almost stayed there day and night. However, last night, she accidentally encountered a white shadow in the forest. It had no name, no level, and it did not attack anyone. After using Identify on it, it did not react at all. Moreover, it looked light as if it had no weight, just like a ghost.
The lady was so scared that she quickly teleported back to the hotel where she was resting. She hid in her room, shivering, and did not dare to come out for the whole day.
Not long ago, because finding Kurumi had become a top priority, after some discussion, Kirito and Asuna posted a missing person notice in the game. After the lady learned about it, she immediately contacted Asuna.
"The notice that you guys posted said that as long as there's a strange phenomenon, I can look for you. So, I can only ask you guys to take that spirit away. Otherwise, I won't be able to stay here anymore!" The girl begged.
Tang Hao was a little speechless. Asuna gently pulled him and said, "Do you think that's Kurumi?"
"Well, it's possible."
Tang Hao and Asuna had only been watching Sword God's Realm for less than two months, so they still had some impression of Kurumi's appearance. It was indeed more like a ghost.
"But it's not good to jump to conclusions, lest we get excited for nothing." Then, Tang Hao looked at the female player. "Where did you find that figure? Can you take us there? "
"No, no, no, I'm not going!" The lady shook her head repeatedly, obviously scared. "But I can tell you where it is. If it's still wandering around, you should be able to see it."
Soon, Tang Hao got the approximate coordinates, and the female player received the missing person notice from Asuna and fled the scene at the speed of light.
Asuna pouted and murmured, "Why do I feel like she's a scammer?"
"No, I think she's just afraid of ghosts."
"What's there to be afraid of …"
Asuna said. However, when the three of them entered the dark forest according to the coordinates provided by the female player, Asuna became a little uncomfortable facing the silent and cold environment. She shivered and immediately hid behind Tang Hao at the slightest movement.
Tang Hao smiled and said, "Didn't you say you're not afraid of ghosts?"
"Yes … It's impossible …" Asuna said stubbornly.
Crack!
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in the air.
"Ah!" Asuna was scared and screamed. She grabbed Tang Hao's clothes with both hands and desperately hid behind him. After a while, when she looked up, her face was green.
At the same time, Dark Night held two broken branches and spread out his hands. "Sorry, I accidentally stepped on the branches."
"What …" Asuna suddenly felt depressed. It turned out that she was just scaring herself. "It seems like there's no ghost at all."
"There's no ghost to begin with." Tang Hao looked ahead as they walked. They were approaching the coordinates, and the sky was very dark. They still didn't see the white figure that the female player mentioned … It was even unknown whether it would appear or not.
Not long after Tang Hao's voice fell, Dark Night blinked, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. "I don't know what ghost you're looking for, but I found something very similar to your description."
"Where?" Tang Hao and Asuna immediately asked.
Dark Night turned his head and pointed behind Asuna.
Asuna instinctively turned her head, and then … she saw an extremely pale face.
"Ahhh!!!"
In an instant, a shrill scream resounded in the forest.
