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

“Is this the village?”

Li Shanren looked at the stone houses in the village in the wind and snow, then turned back to look at Letina and the three sleeping wolves.

"Ermao, Sanmao, you stay here and support us. Letina, come with me to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two sleeping wolves at the end quickly ran into the woods on both sides of the road, lying on the ground in the snow and hiding themselves.

"let's go."

Li Shanren pulled the reins slightly, signaling Torrett to continue moving forward.

"Ermao, Sanmao...are these their names?" Letina couldn't help asking on the way.

Compared to the aloof Lost Home Knight and the Headless Knight who lost his head and had no desire to communicate, Letina spoke relatively more.

But it was limited to things that interested her, such as Sleeping Wolf.

"Yes, it's convenient and easy to remember, right?" Li Shanren said casually, "The one with one eye is Ermao, the other one that's a little smaller and looks a little sneaky is Sanmao, and the biggest one under you is Damao."

Letina followed silently behind. She seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end she said nothing.

The village is surrounded by woods, as if it was built by clearing a piece of land in the forest.

There are no arable lands nearby. Either the arable lands are in another place or the villagers here do not make a living by farming.

Li Shanren rode on a torrent and observed the village silently.

Every household had a yard enclosed by a sturdy fence, with chopped firewood piled in the yard. The doors of the houses were tightly closed, as if to avoid the severe cold outside, or to prevent anything from getting in.

There are drying racks in most yards, but at this time they are empty and covered with a layer of snow.

After walking along the village road for dozens of steps, Li Shanren saw a man wearing several layers of linen clothes in one of the courtyards. He suddenly pushed open the door and walked quickly towards his firewood pile.

He had an idea and rode forward, shouting hello to the man across the fence.

"Hello, can we chat for a minute?"

Hearing the voice, the man turned his head and his expression changed slightly.

In his eyes, the man and woman outside the fence, one riding a white horse with two horns and a long sword on his waist, and the other riding a ferocious white-backed gray wolf and holding a longbow, looked like they were not easy to mess with.

He hesitated for a moment, but slowly walked to the fence and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"We passed by here, but the snow and wind are too strong tonight and there is no place to camp nearby. Now we need to find a place to stay. Do you know in which direction the nearest town is and how far it is from here?" Li Shanren smiled kindly.

"The nearest town is in the west. It takes about a day's journey on horseback, but at least two days on foot." The man said honestly.

"So far?" Li Shanren frowned.

It seems that we can't make it tonight no matter what. However, since there are villages and towns nearby, it means that this is not a completely isolated village, which also indirectly shows the safety of this village.

Then he looked around and continued, "Is there a hotel here? We want to stay in the village for one night."

"There is no hotel, so you can only stay here. But outsiders need the village chief's consent to stay," said the man.

"Oh? Where does the village chief live? Could you please take me to see him?" Li Shanren smiled faintly and took out a silver coin and threw it to the man.

The man received the silver coin and finally a smile appeared on his face.

He nodded repeatedly, "I'll take you there now."

Then he turned back and called to the house, "York, come out and get some firewood. I need to go out for a while."

"Okay father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a teenager walked out of the house. He looked at the two people outside the fence with some surprise at first, then lowered his head and silently moved the firewood in the yard.

"let's go."

The man walked out of the yard and led the way in the wind and snow.

Five or six minutes later, he stopped in front of the largest village house in the yard and shouted, "Village Chief, there is an outsider who wants to see you!"

After a while, a middle-aged man wrapped tightly came out of the house. Seeing the well-dressed man and woman outside, he immediately quickened his pace and approached.

"Village chief, they want to stay in the village for one night." said the man who led the way.

"Are you here to stay the night again?" The village chief muttered, and then asked Li Shanren, "Are you the only two?"

"No, we have a convoy with about 20 people, and the convoy will come later." Li Shanren said, "Can you help us arrange it? I will pay for the accommodation."

So far, he really didn't see any problems with this village, and according to the words of the village chief, it seemed that this was not the first time that this village allowed outsiders to stay overnight.

When he heard that there would be a reward, the village chief's attitude became a little more enthusiastic.

"More than 20 people are indeed a bit too many, but if you are paid, I believe many villagers will let you stay for a night. Well... I will take you to the homes of those villagers who can stay overnight, and then you can move in with your convoy."

"Then thank you for your help." Li Shanren said with a smile.

It turns out that money paves the way for easier things.

Next, the village chief took Li Shanren to knock on the doors of the villagers one by one, and slowly communicated and prepared for their overnight stay.

The man who led the way went home first.

"By the way, village chief, do you often see extraordinary people here? The villagers don't seem very surprised about me and my companions." Li Shanren asked on the way.

"Because before you, earlier today, there were already three extraordinary people staying in the village. One of them was a beautiful demi-human with blue wolf ears."

Feeling a little cold, the village chief hugged himself tightly, sniffed and said.

"Also, although we are in the countryside, the main road of the kingdom nearby is often visited by caravans before winter comes. Not to mention the extraordinary people, even noble lords with titles have seen quite a few of them. We are not country bumpkins who have never seen the world. It's just that caravans like yours that travel far in winter are really rare."

"So that's it."

Li Shanren smiled awkwardly and dispelled the slight doubt in his heart.

"But, are there other extraordinary people already living here? Where do they live?"

"It's in the house of the villager in front. The house opposite them should have some vacant rooms. I'm taking you to that house now." The village chief replied.

Li Shanren nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the village chief took Li Shanren to visit all the villagers who were willing to let outsiders stay overnight.

"Oh, one more thing. There are always some strange things wandering around here late at night. If they come knocking on your door, remember not to open it." The village chief warned earnestly, "Even if you are extraordinary people and have the ability to deal with those things, I don't want to see any villager's house collapsed tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I understand." Li Shanren nodded in agreement.

After watching the village chief go away in the wind and snow, Li Shanren brought Letina back to the convoy, explained the village's affairs to the people who stayed in the convoy, and told them that arrangements for their accommodation had been made.

Then, under his leadership, the convoy drove into the village, stopped at the doors of each villager's household, and after a few people got off, continued to move forward.

Because there were too many of them, it was impossible for them to live together, so they had to be separated into different villagers' homes and meet again the next morning.

Of course, in order to deal with possible emergencies, Tifa, Altaïr, Ezio, and Eivor were assigned to different villagers' homes.

However, since Eivor was weak in self-defense, Li Shanren arranged him to live in the house closest to him, and asked Letina to stay nearby to protect him.

He also sent the other two sleeping wolves to look after Tifa and Ezio respectively.

As the only gold-level fighter in the team besides Li Shanren, Altair naturally does not need too much care.

......

"Huh... finally everything is settled."

Li Shanren stood by the window on the second floor, looking at the howling wind and snow outside, and let out a long sigh.

The place where he lived was the last household that the village chief visited. The owners were an elderly couple in their fifties. Their son made a living in the town and seldom came back, so they left one room empty.

"Thanks for your hard work......"

Alice grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked up.

Li Shanren stroked her silver-gray curly hair and said, "After so many days on the road, we finally don't have to sleep in a tent. Let's have a good rest tonight."

"Alice, the bed is already made. Do you want to come and try it?"

Amicia's voice came from behind.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Shanren patted Alice's shoulder and said with a smile.

In addition to Alice, he was assigned to the group with Amicia, Hugo, and the girl named "Melissa".

The other children were basically assigned to other villagers' homes and each of them was taken care of by someone.

......

In the dim room lit by an oil lamp, a handsome young man with short brown hair sat in a recliner, staring at the two-story stone house opposite the window with great interest.

The wind and snow outside the house were whistling past, as if blocked by some force and unable to fall into the house.

"Shalina, it seems like other extraordinary people have come. What do you think?"

"Should be... just... passing by, I saw... they brought a lot of children."

The girl with short ice-blue hair standing behind him answered slowly, as if she was not speaking very clearly.

It is worth noting that there is a pair of fluffy pointed ears between the ice-blue hair, and her wrists are also covered with ice-blue fur like sleeves.

These features seem to indicate that she is a subhuman.

"They probably won't leave tonight. By then, they might be affected."

An elegant girl sat on the bed and said worriedly. Her hair color was a rare light pink.

"It doesn't matter. As long as they don't block our way, we don't have to worry about them."

The brown-haired boy raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident and mysterious smile.

"If it's in the way, just kill it..."

The chilling words slowly fell in the room.

......

Time passed slowly. Under the ravages of wind and snow, the lights in the houses in the village were turned off one after another. The villagers closed the doors and windows early, went to bed, and hid in the warm quilts.

The houses in this village are basically built with neatly arranged stone bricks, which can withstand wind and snow. This also indirectly reflects that the village is actually quite wealthy.

You know, the wild villages that Li Shanren saw along the way were mostly thatched houses and wooden houses, and stone houses were relatively rare.

In the dim room, Li Shanren sat on a bench against the wall, quietly looking at four sleeping figures of different sizes on the bed, with no trace of sleep on his face.

With his current physical condition, even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights, he would at most feel a little sleepy. Sitting like this for a whole night would at most make him feel bored.

Of course, Li Shanren did not suffer from insomnia, this was just normal night watch behavior.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will sit there until dawn, and only relax his vigilance after everyone gathers together and leaves the village.

Although the village looked very normal and the old couple who gave them accommodation were honest people, the village chief also told him that something would happen late at night.

Just in case, Li Shanren thought it would be better not to fall asleep easily.

In this world of extraordinary power, no matter what happens due to negligence, he will not feel strange now.

Time passed minute by minute, and slowly, the roaring snow and wind outside the window suddenly subsided, as if it was finally stopping.

"Maybe we can set off tomorrow." Li Shanren thought to himself when he heard the noise.

He stood up, walked quietly to the window, slowly opened a crack, and looked outside.

In this kind of rural village, it is naturally impossible to make windows with transparent crystal inlays. Most of them are wooden windows that cannot see the outside when closed.

"Ok?"

Li Shanren frowned slightly when he saw the scene outside.

A thin layer of white mist suddenly filled the road in the center of the village, floating quietly in the strong wind, seemingly unaffected by the weather.

He was about to open the window wider to take a closer look, but then he remembered what the village chief said, and silently closed the window again, then contacted Letina in his heart.

"Letina, is there a strange white mist starting to appear?"

It was naturally not appropriate for Letina, who was riding on the Sleeping Wolf, to enter the house together, so she stayed in the villager's yard.

"Yes, there is a white mist that cannot be dispersed by the wind." Letina replied.

Li Shanren narrowed his eyes and was about to ask more questions when suddenly he turned his head and looked around.

In the room, a faint white mist began to float up at some point.

A thin light green shield immediately appeared on the surface of his body. However, this shield could not block the white mist. It was like it was in another dimension and could only be seen but not touched.

Suddenly, an irresistible drowsiness surged into his heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were pulling at his consciousness, trying to take him to another world.

"Oops!"

Li Shanren, who had experience of being hypnotized, raised his hand and pinched his arm hard, but the sleepiness seemed to block even his sense of pain and it had no effect at all.

"Letina, protect...them..."

Before falling completely into a coma, Li Shanren managed to utter half a sentence, then staggered to the ground and lost consciousness.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened by a breeze mixed with a foul odor and opened his eyes.

A blood-red moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by tall buildings. They were so densely packed that they looked like guards holding weapons and looking others up and down, which brought great pressure to people.

"Ah...is there trouble again?"

Li Shanren rubbed his forehead and sat up helplessly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of a grand bell echoed from somewhere, resounding in every street.

At the same time, an old whisper like a dream slowly came into Li Shanren's ears.

【Tonight, the hunt begins. 】
