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

"Hugo! Hugo?!"

Amicia looked in panic at the little boy lying on the bed, shaking all over.

Under his neck, black lines climbed up his face like curved branches, as if some force was slowly eroding and devouring him.

At this time, there were loud noises outside the door, and the wooden house began to sway slightly and tremble, as if something was shaking its foundation.

Eivor, who was still reading a book on the side, noticed the movement, immediately closed the book and stood up, casually took a torch from the wall next to him, and said solemnly: "They are here again, we can't stay in this place anymore."

Amicia, who had experienced this kind of thing many times, had tears in her eyes and gently picked up the trembling Hugo from the bed. "He seems to be having a nightmare again."

Li Shanren rushed into the room and waved his staff, condensing a blue star above Eivor and Amicia.

"Come out with me quickly, this place is going to collapse."

He urged Eivor and Amicia to leave the house.

After there was no one in the room, Li Shanren took out a shiny white lighting stone and threw it into the room.

The narrow house was immediately filled with light, like daylight under the sun.

Illuminating stones are lighting props processed from relic stones in the junction area. They can be thrown and emit powerful light, but the illumination range is not as large as starlight, and the time can only last for twenty to forty minutes.

After throwing the lighting stone, Li Shanren turned around and walked out without hesitation.

Outside the house, Amicia and Eivor looked at the stars above their heads, watching in horror as the rats that suddenly became extremely crazy broke through the ground one after another and emerged from the ground, spreading like a tide, occupying the surrounding area in the blink of an eye. soil of.

They can be found even in the river.

They were crowded together, their eyes fixed on Hugo in Amicia's arms, trying to get closer to him.

But the blue starlight emitted by the stars above them blocked them several meters away like a chasm. As long as they dared to get close, they would be wiped out in the light.

This is the biggest weakness of rats. Since they were created, the flaw of being afraid of light has always been in them and cannot be erased.

"Oh!"

The rats lurking underground finally chewed up the foundation of the wooden house. The already decaying wooden house in the forest swayed a few times, and finally collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The torches that were originally lit in the house were extinguished one by one. Countless rats emerged from the ground and occupied the remains of the wooden house. However, they soon turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated under the light of the lighting stone.

The torch will go out, but the naturally glowing Illumination Stone will continue to glow until its power is exhausted.

Li Shanren, with the starlight above his head, walked out of the dust in disgrace, glanced at Amicia and others who were protected by the starlight, and asked: "Is everything okay?"

Of course it won't be okay!

Amicia anxiously carried Hugo to Li Shanren, "Look at him quickly!"

Li Shanren stepped forward quickly and took Hugo from her arms.

I saw that the originally tender and white face was gradually covered with black lines like dead branches, as if a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness to carry this child who was only eight years old and ignorant of the world into the abyss.

"What's going on?" Li Shanren asked in a deep voice, "Has a similar situation happened before?"

"He has a nightmare." Eivor approached with a solemn look. "Every time he has a nightmare, the curse power will grow rapidly, and the rats will riot."

After saying that, Eivor looked at the rats around him who were frantically trying to get close to them.

This scene seemed to prove that what he said was true.

But this time...

Eivor returned his gaze to Hugo's face.

Those lines like dead branches spread very slowly, gradually approaching Hugo's eyes. Perhaps one day they will cover this immature face and completely occupy this body.

And what will happen then...no one knows.

"His time may be running out." Eivor said in a serious tone, "The nightmare will speed up the speed at which he is eroded by that power."

As he said this, he held the black book tightly in his hand.

No time! There's no time left!

Even if he is determined to go south to find the Druid now, the time required for a round trip may be enough for Hugo to be completely swallowed up by that power.

After all, the source of that power is a curse, not a blessing.

"How...how could it be? It shouldn't be like this!" Amicia seemed a little unable to accept it. "He is a very good child. He did nothing wrong. He shouldn't be like this!"

At first, she and Hugo were locked in a cage and spent those dark years side by side.

Later, they were rescued and lived with other children.

Among those children, Amicia was the oldest and Hugo was the youngest. The two of them were always together and inseparable.

Later, during the escape, they relied on each other for life, and passed through one difficulty after another without Eivor's concern.

Amicia witnessed Hugo's entire process from optimism, to loss, to pain, and then to despair.

She was unwilling and unable to accept that Hugo was eventually swallowed up by that power.

But she didn't have the power to save Hugo, so she could only place her hope on Eivor and even "Brother Lithen" who once rescued them from the prison.

"Can you find a way?" Amicia looked up at Li Shanren with tears in her eyes.

Li Shanren looked at the pleading and pain in Amicia's eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Amicia's affection for Hugo is much deeper than that of Li Shanren, and Hugo also relies on Amicia.

When he was scared, the first name he called was often "Amicia."

"Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Li Shanren could only comfort like this, "I promise you, I will do my best to save him."

Before coming here, he thought he could properly solve Hugo's troubles.

After all, he now has so much power that even gold level ones are not afraid of him.

But most of what he masters is the power of destruction, destruction, and killing. Sometimes this kind of power cannot solve problems.

Li Shanren handed Hugo back to Amicia, and took out two torches and inserted them into the ground nearby.

A wire torch, an ordinary torch at the intersection.

They all have the characteristic of eternal burning, and their illumination range is only slightly smaller than starlight, but the advantage is that they can always remain bright.

The duration of Starlight is three hours, or 180 minutes, and the original duration of the game is 180 seconds.

Li Shanren can continuously release starlight to maintain the light, but he can no longer do so.

Because he still decided to go to the junction to see if he could learn to "calm down" before Hugo was swallowed.

Maybe it doesn’t have to be that harsh route.

Go find his magic teachers, befriend the priest Milie, the magic block witch Se Lian, and even the "waste stone" Tops... there is always a way to learn.

Li Shanren was not sure when he would be able to come back, so he could only leave the torch to provide light and protection. After all, the starlight would eventually dissipate.

"Amicia, I may have to take a nap and use a special method to think about how to save Hugo in my dream." Li Shanren looked at the girl with the golden braids and asked, "While I am asleep, Don’t leave the range of the fire during this time.”

After saying that, Li Shanren sat on the ground, lowered his head slightly, raised his hand and crushed the blessing memory that he had repaired in advance.

"Amicia, please take care of Hugo. He is now trapped in a nightmare and cannot be woken up. I need to study this book again to see if there is a solution in it."

On the other side, Eivor also sat on the ground, opened the black book again, and looked through it carefully.

But this time, he turned the pages very frequently. Once he confirmed that the content was not what he was looking for, he would quickly turn it over.

Both, in their own way, try to find a way to free Hugo.

Amicia wiped away the tears on her face and sat down quietly, not daring to disturb the two extraordinary beings who were deep in thought.

Under the glow of firelight and starlight, she gently pressed her forehead against Hugo's sleeping face and whispered comfort.

"Hugo, you will be fine. The two brothers will definitely find a way to cure you."

Her voice was a little hoarse due to the running and fatigue these days, but it was very gentle.

It seemed to be comforting Hugo in his nightmare, and also seemed to be comforting himself.

"When you recover, we can do the things you want to do together."

Hugo and Amicia are both from the south and have never seen the snow scenes in the north.

When Hugo was still optimistic about his fate, he once said, "Amicia, after I am cured, will we go to Olin City? Find Alice and the others. I heard that it will snow in the north, In winter, the streets seem to be covered with a beautiful white quilt..."

"I want to build a big snowman in the snow!"

At that time, Hugo opened his arms as he spoke, imagining that he could build a tall and big snowman.

The voice was crisp and childish, and the red face was full of excitement.

"Amicia, will you come with me then?"

"I think so. I will help you build a big snowman like this."
