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

The air is as silent as the ocean floor.

Their eyes met, speechless for a moment.

Ingwell, who was stationed at the bedside, silently turned into a point of light and floated back to the soul-summoning bell.

"Leathern, how could you..."

Tifa stared at Li Shanren for a long time, her red eyes trembling slightly, and a sad and lonely look suddenly appeared on her face, "As expected...am I still dead?"

She recalled the moment before she fell into sleep -

After going through battle after battle without any supplies, his body was completely exhausted, and there was a penetrating wound in his abdomen. The blood flowed uncontrollably, and he finally fainted next to the coffin due to the combination of cold and hunger.

Her death meant many things.

I can no longer meet the people I care about.

No more revenge for the destroyed village.

The fate of the children who were originally protected by her will also change as a result, and will most likely develop in a bad direction.

Li Shanren was slightly startled when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Tifa's first words after waking up would be this.

"No, you're not dead." Li Shanren shook his head and sat up from the bed, "I'm not dead either... We are all alive and well. I brought you out of that ruins. You are safe now. ”

When Tifa heard this, her eyes were still a little dazed and confused.

She slowly sat up and looked at the unfamiliar room around her. After sitting quietly for a while, her red eyes gradually regained their brightness.

"Are we still alive...?" Listening to Li Shanren's words, Tifa's eyes flashed with confusion and disbelief, "But the thing about you..."

As she spoke, she stretched her hand towards Li Shanren's face and touched it slightly with her fingertips.

The real touch and slight body temperature all showed that the person in front of her was not a hallucination before her death.

Li Shanren silently watched the girl's actions without making any movement.

It wasn't until the other party gradually recovered from the shock that he said, "Well, the slave mark on my body has been lifted... but the method of lifting it is very special. Currently, I am the only one who can try it."

Li Shanren calmly explained the changes in Nuyin.

These drafts have also been prepared long ago.

"The slave mark on you...has been lifted?" Tifa stared at Li Shanren's face.

"Yes." Li Shanren nodded and repeated, "But the lifting process cannot be replicated on other people."

"Can't it be reproduced..." Tifa felt a little regretful, and then she smiled sincerely, "But at least you don't have to be bound by that thing."

However, her eyebrows were always slightly wrinkled, as if she had a lot of sorrow in her heart.

For her, too much happened during this time.

Although she finally encountered something worthy of joy, her heart was still heavy, preventing her from smiling happily.

"A lot of things happened after we parted ways with you..."

Li Shanren thought for a while and began to take the initiative to tell the story.

Of course, he spoke very briefly, only picking out some key points, while also hiding many things. The most important secrets, such as the junction and resurrection, were naturally skipped.

ten minutes later.

"That's probably it. I heard that you went to the ruins in the west, so I went there to find you. Finally, I found you seriously injured in a secret room and brought you back."

After Li Shanren finished speaking, he quietly looked at Tifa who had already sat up.

The red-eyed girl sighed with a complex expression: "So many things have happened to you...Thank you for coming to me."

"As long as you're okay." Li Shanren nodded, "Tifa, I need to know where the others are."

"The others..." Tifa lowered her head, her voice lonely, "Eivor may have gone to the south, and Basat... he was captured by the slave army."

"Did he become a slave?" Li Shanren sighed slightly as he thought of the majestic and taciturn man carrying a giant sword.

"Well, the slave army attacked Farm City. We were chased by slave knights during our escape. In the end, we had to disperse and escape..."

Tifa narrated softly.

"The children you rescued were taken with us separately. Basat was accompanied by three girls and a boy. Those children had slave marks on them and were taken to the slave exchange in Olin City. They had to pay enough Only a ransom can redeem them.”

"Okay, I understand, just leave the ransom to me." Li Shanren nodded slightly.

To a certain extent, problems that can be solved with money are not big problems for the time being.

"Then...where are the others?" Li Shanren asked.

"Eivor took the eldest girl and the youngest boy with him. I don't know much about their situation, but they should not have been caught, otherwise they would have been sent to the slave exchange here."

Even though she said this, Tifa still had a trace of worry on her face.

"Alice and the other five children followed me to Olin City, and I temporarily placed them with a farmer's home in a village outside the city."

"You mean, Alice and the others were not arrested?"

"Ah."

Li Shanren felt a little relieved, finally hearing good news.

However, then he noticed something was wrong.

"Which slave exchange are the four captured children at?" he asked.

"They were taken over by the largest slave merchant in the city. I went to visit them, but there was not enough money to redeem them." Tifa showed a trace of apology on her face.

"Does the largest slave merchant refer to Laurent Fisk?" Li Shanren recalled the bloated merchant he saw at the slave auction venue.

"Yes, you know him?" Tifa looked at Li Shanren in surprise.

Li Shanren didn't tell her about the Assassin's Resistance.

"I met him once by chance." He replied vaguely, then frowned slightly and fell into thought.

Twelve children, six were placed in the village outside the city by Tifa, four were in Lorant's exchange, and two were with Eivor...

So what happened to the five children in the hands of slave trader Charles?

Li Shanren muttered: "Tifa, do you know Charles?"

In the narration just now, he did not mention Charles as a person, but only said that he knew Tifa's whereabouts through certain channels.

"Charles?" Tifa was stunned when she heard the name, and then a little disgust rose in her eyes. "He is the slave trader second only to Lorante in Orin City. I heard that he raised thousands of slaves."

"I have met him, and it was he who told me that you went to that ruins." Li Shanren sat cross-legged on the bed, with his fingers crossed and his eyes dark, "Can you tell me what happened between you two?"

Those five children may have more to do with Tifa.

Hearing this, Tifa bit her lip gently, then shook her head, "This is my own business."

She didn't seem to want Li Shanren to intervene.

Li Shanren's eyes moved slightly.

He thought for a while and then said, "Okay, if you need help, I'll be here at any time."
