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

Chapter 2 In short, I need "emergency escape"

Walking out of the familiar dark alley, the bright sunshine hit our faces. The street in front of us was quite lively. People wearing various robes and various accessories came and went. There were tall knights riding earth dragons, and carriages full of people. Business travelers carrying goods, as well as farmers carrying fruits and vegetables on their burdens to sell in the city...

Among the crowd were one or two furry gray werewolves or lizard-men with snake heads and human bodies. Although most of them looked fierce, their personalities were surprisingly gentle. They never provoked or caused trouble, and could even be called polite.

People here seem to be accustomed to these strange people. Only Li Shanren is often surprised when he first arrives, as if he has never seen the world.

"Let's get something to eat first."

Li Shanren touched his shriveled belly, his eyes showing his desire for food.

Walking to the left from this street, there is a market where many vendors buy and sell goods. Sometimes they may need help but do not want to hire special porters. In this case, Li Shanren can sell his physical strength. Come in exchange for some food and struggle to survive.

However, now he is not going to the market on the left, he is going to the right.

There is a church going straight on the right and turning a corner. It belongs to a church in this country called Holy Christian Church. At certain times, the pastor there will lead volunteers and nuns to give alms on the street in front of the church. Anyone who goes there can receive it. To a brown bread and a bowl of thin buckwheat porridge.

Most of the time, only homeless people like Li Shanren who cannot support themselves will accept alms. Only the residents in this city who have the ability to support themselves do not bother to accept alms from the church. More often than not, they will use part of their own income. Proceeds go into the church donation box.

Li Shanren doesn't think there's anything shameful about accepting charity. He has a very flexible moral bottom line and dignity bottom line as he is determined to live in peace. Who cares about the issue of face when he can't live anymore?

In an existential crisis, what is it called to sell one's dignity in exchange for a chance to survive?

That's called "emergency evacuation."

At this moment, Li Shanren felt that it was necessary to seek emergency refuge.

......

Sticking to the wall, carefully avoiding the cleanly dressed residents around him, he walked steadily and quickly towards the church.

Li Shanren didn't dare to let himself touch the decent people in the city. A person from the bottom of society like him was like an indescribable object in the toilet when he walked on the street. Others would feel uncomfortable if they touched him even slightly. It's disgusting, if you meet someone with a bad temper, you might even give him a beating.

He once saw a homeless man walking in a hurry and accidentally bumped into a majestic man. He was beaten severely on the spot, and even the bitterness was beaten out. Maybe it was because the injury was too serious. The next day He died in an alley, but his body was not discovered until the third day, and it stank.

The body was finally carried out of the city by the city guards and two other homeless people, and was thrown away unknown where.

On the day the body was carried, Li Shanren also took a look. The dead person was a young man in his twenties. He was skinny, his eyes were wide open, and he was looking at the sky silently, as if he was not closing his eyes, and he seemed to be accusing something.

Seeing the corpse, he couldn't help but feel a little sad that the young man had died. Wasn't that young man's fate his future?

Since that day, Li Shanren has been more careful when walking on the street, for fear of suffering an unexpected disaster.

Tramps like them have no human rights at all, and no one cares about them even if they die, just like the majestic man who beat someone to death. Nothing happened after that. The guards in the city didn't even bother to ask, as if they were dead. It's not a person, but a chicken, maybe not even as good as a chicken.

It was a sign of mercy from the city lord that he didn't drive these rotten people out of the city.

When passing the corner, Li Shanren deliberately kept some distance to avoid hitting people head-on when turning.

As soon as I turned the corner, I looked at the same street with people coming and going. The ground was neatly paved with earth-yellow stone bricks. There were shops on both sides, selling melons and fruits, clothes, books, etc.

There was a commotion on the street ahead, and several believers in white robes seemed to be chasing someone.

"Stop!"

"Help from the front, catch that kid!!"

"Don't let her get away!"

Li Shanren had just turned the corner and before he could react, he was bumped into by a small figure. He was a little malnourished and took a few steps back. He subconsciously looked down and only had time to see a little gray-haired girl in luxurious clothes. Wiping her tears with one hand and rubbing her little head with the other, she hurriedly walked around him and burrowed into the crowd behind him like a loach. Like a drop of clear water falling into the sea, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Why didn't you stop her!"

The leading believer came over angrily and pointed at Li Shanren's dirty nose.

It's not my business? !

Li Shanren really wanted to spread his hands and say something like this.

But he knew that if he really said that, he would probably be beaten.

So, he could only raise his hands and show an innocent smile.

"Leave him alone and chase him quickly!"

At this time, the two believers who were chasing after her tugged on the clothes of the leading believer, and then they chased the little girl in the direction of her escape.

"Humph!"

The leading believer glared at Li Shanren fiercely and chased after him.

Li Shanren shrugged helplessly, put the matter down, and continued walking towards the church.

At the end of this street is the church, which looks very impressive and is more than 20 meters high, almost seven stories high.

The dome is round and full, the blue arched windows are tall and magnificent, and the building walls are made of red, white, and blue stone bricks, making it look colorful.

There is a strange moon sculpture on the top of the church. It is circular as a whole, but there are two exquisite arcs drawn inside. It outlines an icy blue crescent moon on the left, leaving a flawless white circle in the middle. The moon is full, while a red, curved blood moon appears on the right.

This is not the first time Li Shanren has come here. The sculpture of three months in one is the symbol of the Holy Christian Church, and its status is equivalent to the cross.

"It's over, it seems there is no charity today..." Li Shanren walked near the church and scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.

Many people gathered in front of the church. They formed a circle and talked about it. Something seemed to have happened inside, so much so that even the church's regular alms were cancelled.

"what happened?"

He approached the crowd with a little curiosity, and took a look at the outside through the gaps between people. He saw blood dripping in the open space in the center, and two corpses neatly side by side, covered with white cloth and bright red liquid. It slowly seeped out, and it seemed to come from the throat.

"There is actually a death. No wonder there is no charity today." Li Shanren was secretly shocked.

He has seen more dead people in this month than he has seen in the previous twenty-one years. Even so, it is still difficult for him to adapt to seeing dead people often as he once lived in a civilized society.

Li Shanren stood silently behind the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around him, and quickly figured out what was happening here.

The two corpses were a couple, businessmen who came here from other countries.

About ten minutes ago, the couple wanted to go to the church to pray. They also seemed to believe in the Holy Christian faith.

Suddenly, a hooded black-robed assassin rushed out from the roadside. When he saw them, without saying a word, he stabbed the couple to death with a small dagger in the street, and then walked away.

When the guards arrived, only two bodies and their daughter were left on the ground.

Their daughter was less than ten years old. She suffered this accident in vain. She was completely stunned. She stood there blankly, looking at the corpses of her parents. She didn't know how to cry. She just stayed there until some believers came out of the church. , If you want to take her away, it seems that you want to send her to an orphanage or some other place.

Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly resisted violently. When the believers were not paying attention, she squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

Various comments passed through his ears, and Li Shanren's face gradually became weird. He thought of the little girl who just bumped into him, and muttered to himself, "It couldn't be her..."

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably regretful. He had a chance to catch the little girl just now, but he just watched her run away. This city is not as stable as the great country where Li Shanren once lived. The dark corners of the world are filled with all kinds of evil deeds.

When Li Shanren was hiding in his alley, he would often hear chasing sounds, screams and begging for mercy from the streets outside in the middle of the night. He was so scared that he hugged his knees and huddled in the corner, shivering, and did not dare to go out to see .

If no one cares about a little merchant girl like the one before, she might be captured by slave traders. The buying and selling of slaves is legal here and is even one of the main sources of tax revenue.

"If someone takes me away... Oh, forget it, it's none of my business anyway. How can I, a homeless man, worry about this?"

Li Shanren shook his head, turned and left the door of the church, preparing to go to the market to sell some coolies in exchange for food.

He is such a person. Although he has good intentions, he sometimes feels empathy and guilt because of certain things, but most of the time, those guilt and sympathy come and go quickly.

The most "good deeds" he has done are to give people directions, help his classmates fill out questionnaires, complain about illegal activities on the Internet, and occasionally donate money to charity. Like most people, he is just an ordinary person. People, ordinary and ordinary people.

If you are rich, you can help others; if you are poor, you can be kind to yourself.
