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

In the evening, the market in the eastern district of the royal capital was still bustling with people coming and going.

Li Shanren came to the entrance of the market alone and soon found the intelligence dealer "Hummingbird" who was waiting there.

"Sir Claude, please follow me."

The short man wearing a round-brimmed hat took Li Shanren to a fruit stall. The stall owner was a tall man with a hideous scar on his face.

"This boss has seen the person you are looking for."

Li Shanren's eyes moved, and he casually took out a piece of white paper with a simple sketch on it and presented it to the fruit stall owner.

"Have you met him?"

The painting sketched out a boy with sharp triangular eyes with just a few strokes. The boy was wearing sportswear of a different style and holding a bag in his hand.

This is a simple portrait that Li Shanren drew based on his memory. With the blessing of intelligence and dexterity, even if he has no basic painting skills, he can easily draw it after a few tries.

"Ah... this poor kid, I just saw him this afternoon. He was dressed strangely and looked stupid, like someone from another country." The fruit stall owner took a glance at him, "He seemed to want to buy my fruit, but he didn't have a penny, so I drove him away."

There really is such a person!

Li Shanren narrowed his eyes slightly.

In order to find out the "deal" that the purple-black mist talked about with me before time went back, I'm afraid I have to find this young man first.

However, judging from the boy's attire, could he also be a "visitor from another world" like him?

"Where did he go?" Li Shanren asked in a deep voice.

"He walked into the alley next to him alone, and I don't know where he went."

The fruit stall owner pointed to a nearby alley.

"However, there are three hooligans who hang around there all year round, robbing passers-by. The poor kid might run into them."

"Sir Claude, I know the three guys he mentioned. They should still be in the alley. Do you want me to take you to meet them?" Hummingbird suggested immediately.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Li Shanren did not respond to Hummingbird, but continued to look at the fruit stall owner and asked.

"No, I'm just a businessman, how can I pay so much attention to others."

"Thank you. This is my reward." Li Shanren took out a silver coin and threw it on the fruit stand. Then he turned his head and looked at Fengniao. "Take me to see those three people."

......

"Incredible? Is time really stored in there?"

In the stolen goods vault, the unusually strong Rom carefully held the flip phone with two fingers and looked at the photos on it in amazement.

The photo showed him shouting with an angry look on his face, because the brat in front of him suddenly pointed the phone at him, making him think that the kid wanted to use some dangerous magic on him.

"Seeing is believing, grandpa. What do you think? I didn't lie to you."

Subaru Natsuki picked up the milk diluted with water and took a sip.

After discovering that time might have gone backwards, he felt quite complicated.

This means that during this period of time, nothing that happened between him and the silver-haired girl happened.

The two of them were strangers, and he was the only one who remembered what happened last time.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't care about the girl's affairs anymore. After all, this time, he didn't actually owe the girl anything.

Whether it was being rescued in the alley, or helping the lost little girl find her parents, or other words and things said and done, none of it ever happened!

He has no reason to meddle in other people's affairs.

But......

"If I just let it go, the girl will die." Subaru Natsuki thought silently.

The last time, he, the girl, and Mr. Rom in front of him were killed by a mysterious man.

If the girl went to the stolen goods vault again based on some clues in order to look for the stolen items, she would most likely be killed again.

But...if he had intervened in this incident as an outsider, the outcome might have been completely different.

After considering for a long time, Subaru Natsuki decided to intervene.

After all, he did say that at the end of the last time.

"I said I would save you. Since I have made such a promise, I should keep it no matter when. At least I will not forget my promise easily."

Subaru Natsuki sighed.

......

In the dimly lit alley, three young thugs were stuck in a dead end.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do? There are three of us. If you want to take action, you'd better think it over carefully!" said the yellow-haired gangster standing in the middle.

On his left stood a tall, stupid man, holding a wooden stick with a fierce look on his face. On his right stood a dwarf with a mushroom-like haircut and a dwarf-like stature, holding a rusty dagger tightly in his hand.

"That's right! You don't have anything in your hands. We are all armed. If you know what's good for you, let us go!" the dwarf threatened in a bluffing manner.

“No…that’s right!”

The big fool held up a wooden stick, his eyes wide open, and tried his best to look like someone who was not to be trifled with.

"I just want to ask you a few questions. After that, I'll let you go."

Li Shanren glanced at the hummingbird beside him and spoke slowly.

"Why...why should we answer you just because you ask? Do you think we will just surrender obediently?!" the yellow-haired gangster said with great momentum.

"This silver russo should be enough to buy your information." Li Shanren took out a silver coin and said in a flat tone.

Seeing the silver coin, the three thugs showed a hint of greed in their eyes.

In the past, when they robbed in the alleys, they would only get a few copper luxos at most. This silver coin might be equivalent to their earnings for half a month.

The yellow-haired gangster lowered his head and looked at the dwarf. After a moment of eye contact, the dwarf seemed to have understood something. A mean smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded, took a half step back calmly, and moved behind the yellow-haired gangster.

Then, the yellow-haired thug put on a smile and looked up at Li Shanren, "Of course, but you have to give us the money first."

"Take it."

Li Shanren ignored the dwarf's little trick and casually threw the silver coin to the yellow-haired gangster, not worrying at all that the other party would run away with the money.

"Can I ask now?"

"Go ahead and ask." The yellow-haired gangster took the silver coin and said with a smile.

"Have you seen this man today?"

Li Shanren took out the sketch.

Although it was a little dark, I could still see the person in the portrait clearly.

The yellow-haired thug took a closer look and then shouted, "It's this guy. We ran into him this afternoon. He looked stupid."

"Do you know where he went?"

"How do we know that? He seemed to be looking for something in a hurry. We didn't stop him and he ran away." The yellow-haired gangster seemed to remember something and replied with a gloomy face.

"Which direction did it run in?"

"Uh... well..."

The yellow-haired gangster suddenly began to stammer, as if he was having trouble speaking.

"That guy ambushed us and knocked us all down, so we didn't see where he went." The big fool at the side suddenly said.

"Idiot! Don't say such embarrassing things!"

The yellow-haired gangster turned his head and shouted angrily, then he saw a short figure hiding in the shadows from the corner of his eye. It seemed as if it turned into a shadow and moved forward silently.

The dwarf with a mushroom head on his right was half a step behind and hidden in the shadows. He looked dull and his eyes had lost their brilliance. However, if you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find anything unusual.

The yellow-haired thug was delighted when he saw this, and he looked back at the opposite side, as if to attract attention, and said loudly: "Although it was a little blurry at the time, I still saw which direction he ran to."

"Then tell me." Li Shanren said calmly.

"Sorry, we won't say anything, hehehe..."

Suddenly, a sharp object pressed against his lower back, and the shrill voice of the short dwarf came from behind him.

At the same time, the dwarf with dull eyes on the right side of the yellow-haired gangster suddenly turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared. It was actually something like an illusion.

"You guys can actually know magic?" Li Shanren turned his head slightly to glance at the dwarf behind him, somewhat surprised.

"It's just a simple trick of talent, but it's more than enough to fool a fool like you." The dwarf showed a despicable smile, "Turn your head back and hand over the valuables on you. Just consider it a lesson."

"And the guy behind you, put your hands up and don't move! Otherwise I will throw the knife out, and if you accidentally hit him, it won't be my fault."

Seeing his companion succeed, the yellow-haired gangster immediately revealed a smug look, took out a knife and pointed it at the hummingbird next to Li Shanren.

"Sir Claude..."

Hummingbird raised his hands helplessly and turned to look at Li Shanren who had a calm expression.

"If we hand over all the money, will you let us go?" Li Shanren raised his hands and asked.

"Haha, you're scared, right? Humph, if you didn't know that brat during the day, I could let you go. But since you know him, why don't you finish what he didn't finish?"

The yellow-haired gangster swung the knife in his hand nimbly and smiled meaningfully.

"What's that?"

"Lie on the ground like a dog and shout for help. We will let you go if you make us happy! Hehehe..." the dwarf behind him laughed.

"Really? Have you ever threatened him like this?" Li Shanren raised his eyebrows.

"Stop talking nonsense and do what we say! Otherwise, I'll kill you!" the dwarf threatened, "Take out all the valuables first!"

"Okay, I'll give it to you right away."

Li Shanren smiled lightly.

Half a minute later, Hummingbird walked out of the alley and looked at the figure in front of him who was casually shaking off the blood on the knife and sheathing it. He shook his head and said to himself:

"In this world, good people don't die, bad people don't die, only stupid people die. There will always be fools who don't understand the situation."

The dead end behind him now presented an extremely tragic scene.

The big man holding the half-broken wooden stick had his head chopped off and fell in a pool of blood, the blood gathered into a small pool of water.

Next to him was a yellow-haired thug with his eyes wide open, having been cut in half, as if he died with his eyes open.

On the wall nearby, a short dwarf had his throat pierced by his own dagger and was nailed to the wall with great strength. He looked quite miserable.

......

The stolen goods vault.

"How is it, Mr. Rom? The food is pretty good, isn't it?"

Subaru Natsuki smiled as he looked at the bald old man who was wearing a single crystal mirror and carefully examining something.

"Hmm... I can't tell what material it is made of, but since it can be used by ordinary people with no magic power, it must be the existence called 'Meteor' among magic tools." Grandpa Rom said seriously.

"meteor?"

"It's a precious magical tool that flashes like a meteor, like a gift from heaven, you can only encounter it by chance, but not by force." Grandpa Rom sighed, "I never thought that I would be able to touch a 'shooting star' in my lifetime."

"So, it's very precious?" Natsuki Subaru's eyes showed joy, "It should be no problem to exchange it for that thing."

"The value of the 'Meteor' is immeasurable. It is more than enough to exchange for a badge with gems. It is even possible that the thing you want cannot be compared with this Meteor. You have to think carefully." Grandpa Rom reminded in a serious tone.

"No problem, I just want the badge, you can take the meteor." Subaru Natsuki said impatiently.

"Oh? I'm a little curious. What kind of badge would make you willing to give up such a treasure? Could it be that the badge is more valuable than this meteor?" Grandpa Rom looked up at Subaru Natsuki.

"Ahem... To be honest, I haven't seen that badge either, but I'm sure its value can't be higher than my Meteor Magic Tool. It's just that the item has a special meaning." Subaru Natsuki coughed dryly.

"Special meaning? Could it be a relic of a family member?"

"No, it's actually something from my lifesaver. It seems to be very important to her. In order to repay her, I can only do what I can, even though she may not remember anything about me."

Faced with Rom-sama's questioning, Subaru Natsuki could only helplessly tell everything.

"Oh, then I don't know whether I should say that you are sentimental or that you are pitifully stupid."

Grandpa Rom laughed mercilessly, but his eyes softened a little when he looked at the boy opposite him.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of the stolen goods warehouse was suddenly knocked three times.

Uncle Rom's eyes moved, and he stood up, walked around the front desk and went to the door.

Seeing this, Lai Yue Subaru followed the scene with his eyes, feeling slightly excited, "Is it finally here?"

Master Luo Mu stood by the door and asked in a deep voice, "Deal with the big rat?"

"Use poison." An indistinct reply came from the other side of the door.

"To deal with the white whale?"

"With a fishhook."

"To deal with a noble dragon like us?"

"Go to hell you."

Uncle Rom nodded with satisfaction, then grasped the door handle and slowly opened the door.

"That... is the so-called secret code?" Subaru Natsuki looked at the scene with a dark face.

It sounds like it has no nutritional value.

Outside the door, a girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old was holding the door. She had a slightly messy short golden hair, eyes as ruddy as a rabbit, and a small canine tooth protruding from the corner of her mouth. Her clothes were very simple, wearing an ill-fitting coat and shorts. There was only a strip of cloth wrapped tightly around her chest, and large areas of snow-white skin were exposed elsewhere. She looked like she grew up in a slum. Original picture......

------Dividing line-----

I ended up messing up the job in the trench, and I quit after the National Day. I heard that it's very difficult to find a job recently.

I don't know if the new book I publish later can make a living...

Thanks to all the readers for the tips! Time is money, I won't thank you one by one, I'll just bury my head in writing...
