Chapter 40: Death Gun's Secret

Sinon: So Death Gun was a member of Laughing Coffin?

Ruby: Yeah. We didn't kill any players though. We just captured some of them.

Sinon: Well Kirito, tell me how you got to overcome those memories. How did you keep them from controlling your life? And how are you so strong now?

Kirito: I didn't overcome them.

Sinon: What?

Kirito: Last night, I had a dream about those three players that I killed. I could hardly sleep. The faces of those avatars, and those words. I will never be able to forget them.

Sinon: But then, what do I do?

Kirito: Sinon, I think that it's necessary. I had to accept what killing them meant, and to keep thinking. Doing that is less atonement that I can do.

Sinon: Accept, and keep thinking?

A while later, Death Gun shows up in the desert to look for more players, while David and the others are still in the cave.

Sinon: So that Death Gun is a real person, right?

Yang: If we would find out their name in SAO, we would be able to know their true name and where they live. That's why we came in GGO.

Sinon: So he came back to SAO so he could PK again.

David: Well, when he killed XeXeeD and Lightly Salted Roe, and when he almost killed Pale Rider, he chose times when a lot of people were watching.

Penny: And that cross sign that he made was probably to try to appeal to a large mass of people, and to show people that he has the ability to kill people from a game.

Sinon: How is that possible?

Kirito: They said that XeXeeD and Roe didn't die from brain damage, but heart failure.

Sinon: Heart failure?

Kirito: I'm not sure how he's doing it?

Evelyn: I don't think there's a way to stop a players heart from in a game.

Kirito: Come to think of it, it's really strange. Why did Death Gun shoot me with his rifle back there instead of his handgun? He could have killed me if he used his handgun.

Weiss: Wait a minute, I almost forgot. Earlier today we have figured something out about how Death Gun is doing this stuff.

Kirito: You have?

Sinon: Then how is he doing it?

Weiss: You guys are right. It is impossible to stop a players heart in the real world by shooting them in game. So what we think is that Death Gun had to make some preparations in the real world to kill someone by shooting them in game.

Kirito: I was thinking about that as well.

Sinon: But how would he find the players real info and address?

David: The Governor's office at the Glocken, it has us put our real names and addresses in the terminal.

Kirito: So it's a wide-open space with no privacy.

Sinon: Wait, you guys think that he was looking over our shoulders? If that was the case, wouldn't we have noticed?

Yang: What if he tried using a scope or binoculars?

Sinon: He would get banned for that.

Kirito: But what if Death Gun's cape has worked in town? He would have been able to look over our shoulders to see our info.
