When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

At the lighted gate of the courtyard, Li Shanren, who was about to return to the villa, stopped where he was.

The colorful world gradually fell into gray and white. Everything was in a solidified state, even the floating leaves were fixed in mid-air.

Li Shanren kept his foot lifted, his expression normal.

In this frozen world, he was also unable to move, only his consciousness remained clear.

Deep in his eyes, the fragment of the center of gravity magic ring flickered alternately between light and dark. In this gray world, only it and the other magic ring fragment lodged on the back of Li Shanren's hand maintained a golden glow.

"It seems like it's a little earlier than last time." Li Shanren estimated silently.

This time, the dark purple mist seemed to know that it couldn't do anything to him, so it didn't appear again.

I don’t know how long it took, the frozen world began to flow again, and the surrounding scenery changed at a high speed.

Li Shanren's body kept changing positions.

A second ago, he returned to the market he just passed by...

A second later, he drew out his famous sword Yueyin and cut the panicked yellow-haired thug in front of him into two pieces...

The next second, he threw a silver coin to the fruit stand owner...

Then, he stood in a warmly decorated room, watching Alice gently show him everything in the room...

last of the last--

He returned to the quiet restaurant and prepared to pour a cup of bitter tea into his mouth.

Next to him, a little girl with silver-gray curly hair was working hard on a plate of pastries.

"Ah... I'm back again..."

Li Shanren put down the teacup and rubbed his eyebrows.

......

"I'm back again..."

"Hey! Young man, what are you daydreaming about? Do you want to buy it or not?"

Looking at the fierce-looking fruit stall owner in front of him, Lai Yue Subaru, who had returned from death, suddenly felt nauseous. He held his stomach, bent over and retched.

"vomit--!"

His body still seemed to be feeling the excruciating pain of his abdomen being ripped open, and an unspeakable fear gradually crept into Subaru Natsuki's eyes.

"I...I...died again..."

In just twelve hours, he died twice in succession, both times his stomach was cruelly ripped open and he slowly bled to death. Such things undoubtedly brought him great psychological pressure.

"Hey, hey! Are you okay, little brother? Why do you look like you're dying? Do you want some water?"

After a while, after being fed some water by the kind fruit owner, Subaru Natsuki sat down in a secluded corner, with his head down and his hands weakly grasping his hair.

That woman... is so scary. I have no idea how to defeat her. It seems like she will be easily killed even if I try again.

What should I do?

Should we just... forget it?

Anyway, time has gone back, and he has lost his causal connection with the silver-haired girl named "Satira" again. Logically speaking, he has no obligation to care about that person's affairs.

Subaru Natsuki began to back out.

He was not a particularly determined person, otherwise he would not have dropped out of school and stayed at home.

After sitting by the wall for a while, Subaru Natsuki looked up silently.

Suddenly, a white figure passed by him. Although the other person was wearing a hood, the silver hair slightly exposed under the brim still allowed Subaru to recognize the other person at a glance.

“Yes… it’s Satira. By the way, if you had reminded her to keep her things safe before Felt stole them, there wouldn’t have been any of the things that happened later, and you wouldn’t have to face that woman again!”

Subaru Natsuki suddenly thought of this.

He stood up hurriedly, and with his numb legs, he staggered towards the silver-haired girl.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The girl in front didn't seem to realize that I was calling her, and continued to move forward without stopping.

Seeing that the other person was about to squeeze into the crowd and disappear in the blink of an eye, Subaru Natsuki could only shout out her "name" loudly.

"Satira! Wait a minute!"

Hearing this call, the girl in front finally stopped.

Not only her, but people nearby also stopped to look, with astonishment, uneasiness, amusement, sneering...all kinds of looks were cast on the two of them, making people feel quite uncomfortable.

What happened...why are you all looking at us?

Subaru Natsuki instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl turned her head, her snow-white cheeks slightly reddened with shame and anger, and her blue-purple eyes under the hood revealed obvious resentment.

"No way, silver hair, and it looks like pointed ears..."

"Exactly the same features, hiss..."

"That guy is really bold, calling someone like that on the street."

......

What do you mean?

What's the meaning? !

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Lai Yue Subaru realized that he seemed to have caused a big disaster and felt his scalp tingling. He had no idea of ​​his own situation and could only bite the bullet and look at the silver-haired girl.

"That...Satira..."

"Don't call me by that name!" The silver-haired girl said, suppressing her anger. "Anyway, calling someone by the name of the Witch of Jealousy is too bad. Even I can't accept it!"

But... that was the name you told me...

Subaru Natsuki thought back to the afternoon when they first met.

The two stood on the white steps, leaning against the railings under the sunshine, looking at the bustling street scene from a high place, and exchanged names.

"I'm Subaru Nagetsuki! What about you?"

"...I don't have a last name, just call me Satella."

Time returns to the present.

"So… who are you? And why are you calling me that name?"

Faced with the girl's angry question, Subaru Natsuki's lips became a little dry and he didn't know how to start for a moment.

Should I tell her that this was the name you told me before the last time we went back in time?

Who would believe it?

Does anyone know?

At this moment, because of a small, bad joke before, Subaru Natsuki suddenly found himself inexplicably trapped in such a ridiculous situation.

"Please answer me!" the silver-haired girl asked.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, blowing up the girl's white robe, revealing a small cloth bag underneath.

"Hey, what a great opportunity!"

The next second, the short-haired golden-haired thief girl chuckled and nimbly jumped down from a nearby shack. She moved with the wind and passed by the silver-haired girl in the blink of an eye. She stretched out her little hand and easily took off the cloth bag.

Then, she dived into the crowd like a fish, and her small figure disappeared in an instant.

The theft happened so quickly that no one present could react, including the silver-haired girl whose attention was attracted by Subaru Natsuki.

"Ah! My badge!"

The silver-haired girl screamed, then looked at Subaru Natsuki with even more anger.

"You deliberately attracted my attention and then asked your accomplice to take action? How abominable!"

After saying that, she stamped her feet and chased after the thief girl in the direction she fled.

Subaru Natsuki remained where he was, distraught.

“The name… was fake, and Felt stole the things… In the end, I didn’t accomplish anything…”

......

In the quiet restaurant, Li Shanren picked up Alice who was concentrating on eating, threw down a few silver coins, picked up the stack of unfinished pastries, and hurried back to the hotel with the confused girl.

"Alice, I have to go out for something urgent. Wait for me in the room. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back soon!"

After putting the pastries on the dining table in the room and rubbing Alice's little head, Li Shanren hurried out again in her surprised eyes.

Time is running out, and to find the boy who might be the key to breaking the deadlock, he can only race against time to return to the fruit stalls and dark alleys he had investigated before, hoping to find him there.

If you can't break the situation, you might end up stuck in this time loop that keeps going back in time.

Moreover, the last time the time was traced back was a little earlier than the first time. If each time the time was traced back was earlier, Li Shanren couldn't imagine what would happen in the end.

Looking at the crowded street, Li Shanren decisively went into the alley nearby.

Half a minute later, he climbed onto the roof of a house, parkoured skillfully between the houses, and quickly rushed to the market according to the direction he remembered.

This climbing and parkour ability was naturally learned from Altaïr and Ezio. Those two guys are experts in this area.

By the way, I don’t know if Ezio has started investigating the local Assassin’s resistance. If he encounters this kind of time reversal incident at a critical point in the investigation, I’m afraid that guy will go crazy.

"Hey! The one in front, get out of the way!"

As he was leaping across the roof, a blonde girl dressed as a thief suddenly came running towards him. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Amicia.

She seemed to be being chased by someone.

Not wanting to be hit, Li Shanren slightly turned his body to the side, allowing it to pass by him like a breeze.

In the crowd below, a silver-haired girl wearing a white hood was chasing closely. She saw Li Shanren letting the thief girl run away, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her blue-purple eyes, but she said nothing and continued to chase after him silently.

Li Shanren did not intend to meddle in other people's business. If the problem of time travel was not solved, anything that happened after noon today would be meaningless.

He glanced at it casually and continued on his way.

......

Strong arms roughly grabbed Subaru Natsuki's collar and dragged him into the dark alley next to him.

"Hey, I finally caught you!"

Subaru Natsuki was thrown hard to the ground.

Three thugs of different heights and in tattered clothes blocked the way out with teasing smiles. In the middle was a yellow-haired young thug. On his left stood a dwarf with a wicked smile, and on his right stood a tall, stupid guy.

It was that big idiot who just dragged Subaru Natsuki in from the road, and the passers-by nearby turned a blind eye to it and had no intention of intervening at all.

"It's you three again..." Sitting on the ground, Subaru sighed, "Where did you three start targeting me? Even if I took a different route, you could still find me."

He had been robbed by these three men twice before. The first time he was rescued by the silver-haired girl, and the second time he relied on his own strength to unexpectedly subdue the three men and then escaped.

"Hehe, very smart. Have we met this before? Since you know the rules, hand over the valuables quickly! Otherwise, you will suffer!" said the yellow-haired gangster arrogantly.

"Hurry up, don't waste time, it's good for both of us, hehehe..."

The short dwarf was playing with a small knife and grinning, and the big guy on the other side also grinned foolishly.

"If you ask me, it's time for you three to stop. Take my advice and stop it. If you keep going like this you'll hit a wall sooner or later." Subaru Natsuki shrugged and said.

"Iron plate? You? Hahaha..."

The yellow-haired gangster seemed to have heard a joke and burst into laughter.

"I only attacked you when I saw you were so stupid. Who would call someone the Witch of Envy in broad daylight?"

"You also saw what happened just now?" Subaru Natsuki's voice suddenly became low.

"Really? So what?" The dwarf laughed, playing with the knife. "Do you think you have an accomplice who will come to rescue you? The thief is already busy with his own business."

"Hand over all your valuables quickly! Kneel down and bark like a dog twice. We are in a good mood today and will let you go!" The yellow-haired gangster came forward and said.

"You three..."

Subaru Natsuki clenched his fist and without warning punched the yellow-haired thug in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"It just so happens that I'm in a bad mood right now!"

The second time I met them, I defeated all three of them, so there is no reason to be afraid of them this time!

"How dare you attack us! You don't want to live anymore!"

The dwarf was shocked and angry.

"Wow!!!"

The big idiot roared and rushed directly towards Subaru Natsuki.

“Concentrate…!”

Subaru Natsuki stared at the big guy's movements, calculated the distance, and kicked hard, accurately kicking the opponent's crotch.

"oh oh--!"

The big fool who suffered a fatal blow immediately felt his legs go weak, his eyes rolled back, and he fell limply to the ground, covering his lower body.

"You are the only one left..."

Subaru Natsuki looked at the short dwarf meaningfully.

"You...you...you...don't come over here!"

Seeing his companions all knocked down, the dwarf clenched the knife in both hands and stood there trembling.

"Hmph! Stop bothering me!"

Subaru Natsuki snorted coldly, not intending to teach this guy who was no different from a little kid a lesson, not to mention that the other party was already scared out of his wits.

After saying that, he walked straight past the dwarf and prepared to leave the alley.

however--

"laugh......"

Suddenly, Subaru Natsuki felt a numbness in his lower back, followed by a sharp pain that surged throughout his body.

He paused, reached back tremblingly, and touched something wet and blood-red.

Blood... is blood...

My blood...

He suddenly lost all his strength and fell forward to the ground with a sharp knife stuck in his waist.

The voices of the three gangsters came vaguely to my ears.

"Hey! Why did you use a knife directly?"

"He is looking for death! Forget about it. Look for the things on him and run. It will be troublesome if the guards come over soon!"

"Here...here is a bag. I don't know if the things inside are valuable."

......

"Uh uh..."

His blood quickly leaked out, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and the air in his body was slowly squeezed out as his breathing became more and more rapid.

Weakness, pain, discomfort...all kinds of discomfort came like a tide, drowning him.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he faintly heard the sound of someone falling from above his head and the screams of the three thugs.

“You…who are you?!”

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll give you everything!"

"No!!!"

......

In the dimly lit alley, Li Shanren held the blood-stained famous sword Yueyin and looked at the boy's silent footsteps in silence.

I'm late.

Just one minute... No! Half a minute!

Behind him, the three thugs were killed by him again, their bodies piled up randomly on the spot, blood flowing everywhere.

A strong smell of blood filled the alley.

When people passing by outside saw this scene, they quickly left as if they had seen a ghost, fearing that what happened here would implicate themselves.

However, their hurried movements were frozen in place, unable to move.

Gray and white tones once again occupied the world, like some kind of immutable law.

The world stopped once again.

A purple-black mist spread out, outlining a human figure of unknown gender in front of Li Shanren's eyes.

"Deal...deal...deal..."

The human figure squatted down gently and gently stroked the boy's back with his hands made of mist.

"Is the deal you're talking about protecting this high school student?"

Looking at the face that still had a hint of childishness, Li Shanren asked in his heart.

This time, the human figure made up of purple-black mist seemed to have heard his inner words and nodded slightly.

"As long as he dies, time will go back?"

The human figure nodded again, confirming Li Shanren's guess.

"You are too overbearing! For such a person, everyone plays with you?! Accompany you to continue to cycle through this reincarnation?"

Li Shanren couldn't help but curse.

Faced with these words, the purple-black humanoid did not react at all, but simply dissipated its body and the mist receded.

The next second, time flows backwards again.
