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

Trading...

Subaru Natsuki scratched his hair in distress. He really didn't know what he could do to impress the "senior" in front of him.

If he meets a "local", he can still fool him with his mobile phone, but the seniors know exactly what he has.

"Don't worry, I won't make you pay for something you don't have."

Li Shanren took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Rather than calling it a deal, it's more like a contract between the two of us."

"contract?"

"Well, you still remember the butterfly effect I just talked about, right? The reason why I spent so much time telling you about it is because that law doesn't work on me."

Li Shanren put down his teacup, sat up straight, and looked at the other guests in the restaurant.

"After each reincarnation, almost everyone's memory will return to the starting point. But for some reason, my memory will not be lost. That is to say, every time you activate your ability, you will drag me along. No matter when or where I am, you will have an immeasurable impact on me. For me, this is not a wonderful thing."

Hearing this, Subaru Natsuki showed a little embarrassment, "But this matter is not something I can control. If I have a choice, I don't want to activate this ability at all."

"But what if one day, you want to use your ability to commit suicide to undo some mistakes? If at the same time, I happen to be doing something very important, and you use your ability to make everything go back to the starting point, making my efforts go to waste, isn't that too unfair to me?"

Li Shanren looked back at Lai Yue Subaru and asked seriously.

"Don't tell me that I can just try it again. You have to know that even if I can make fried rice, I can't make it exactly the same every time. Similarly, I can't be sure to completely replicate what happened in the last reincarnation. Not to mention that the butterfly effect you caused may affect me in another way."

Subaru Natsuki scratched his head and said, "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine a situation where I would have to commit suicide, but...senpai, just tell me what you want me to do."

"We need to establish a few rules between us. First, if you are going to activate your ability by committing suicide, or if you anticipate that you might commit suicide, you must notify me in advance."

"it is good."

Based on his senior's situation, this condition was quite normal, and Subaru Natsuki agreed without even a second thought.

Then he asked, "But how can I inform you if you are not with me?"

"I will give you a message scroll, and then I will agree on several codes with you. You can write the corresponding codes on the scroll, and I will know them."

Li Shanren said this with preparation.

"Next, secondly, I'm not your babysitter. We are just two ships tied together. Don't think that I will take care of everything for you. If you lose your mind one day and want to use your ability to threaten me, such as trapping me in a time loop forever if I don't agree to something, I hope you'd better stay awake, otherwise I will take necessary extreme measures."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly became sharper, causing Lai Yue Subaru to feel his hair stand on end.

"Senior...Senior, you are exaggerating. How could I do that kind of thing? Don't worry, senior, that kind of thing will never happen!" Subaru Natsuki forced a smile and assured.

"Better so."

Li Shanren nodded without comment.

"Then the third rule is also the last one. When I need you to use your abilities, you must cooperate with me. Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. In exchange, I owe you a favor. I will help you once within my ability, and you can come to me to redeem this favor at any time."

When he heard the last condition, Subaru Natsuki's face changed, "Use my ability?"

"Don't worry, I will give you a quick death."

Li Shanren smiled.

But this smile was full of danger in Subaru Natsuki's eyes.

"What? Didn't you just make up your mind to save those two unrelated people no matter how many times you tried? I thought you didn't take life and death that seriously, but are you scared now?"

Li Shanren asked.

"Compared to your selfless help to those people, helping me still has some benefits. At least my favor is valuable, and I will remember your contribution, not like others who forget it completely. Of course, I won't come to you for trivial matters. I will only seek your help when it is absolutely necessary."

After hearing these words, Lai Yue Subaru was silent for a while, and then he said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I agree to your request, senior."

"Very good, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Li Shanren smiled lightly.

"Well, I have finished talking about my business. Now it's time to talk about your business. From your previous story, I roughly understand what you want. In short, you want to help the candidate for the consul get her belongings back, and at the same time save the thief who stole the things and the middleman of the stolen goods warehouse from the mysterious female killer, right?"

"That's right..."

"Don't you think that's a problem?"

"Wh...what's the problem?"

"A mysterious force or person hired a powerful assassin, who then hired a thief to steal items from a candidate for the governorship. After the incident, the assassin killed both the thief and the middleman who sold the stolen goods. This is such a fuss, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like an ordinary incident."

Li Shanren crossed his arms and analyzed.

"Ordinary people would not even have time to hide from such things, but you foolishly want to get involved, which will undoubtedly drag yourself into a dangerous vortex. The election of consuls is the most important thing in this country right now, and any disturbance will attract the attention of relevant forces. For me, it is not in my interest to let you fall into this vortex."

"Why do you say that?" Subaru couldn't help but ask.

Li Shanren sighed and said helplessly: "Excuse me for being frank, because you are too weak. Once you fall into this vortex, you are at risk of death at any time and anywhere. Once something like that happens, I will be implicated, you know."

"Don't make me sound so weak. Although I can't compare to my seniors, at least I exercise regularly!" Subaru Natsuki seemed a little unconvinced.

“Haha, with your physical fitness, you will be in a mess even if you face a slightly stronger ordinary person, let alone a superhuman. Even an ordinary knight’s squire can knock you down with one hand.”

Li Shanren sneered and hit back.

"You don't think that just because you managed to knock down three thugs, you think you have some strength, do you?"

"Am I really that weak...?"

Subaru Natsuki looked devastated.

"This is a world of extraordinary power. Don't think too highly of yourself!" Li Shanren knocked on the table. "Before you truly gain the ability to protect yourself, any accident could cost you your life."

"But you just promised me..."

Li Shanren continued: "Yes, I promise to help you. So I give you two choices-"

"First, I will help you fulfill all your obsessions, and then I will take you away, away from their affairs, away from this dangerous vortex, and you will follow me from now on."

"Second, I will also help you fulfill your obsession of helping others, but after this incident, I will not care where you go. Even if you insist on interfering in the election, it has nothing to do with me. I will only appear after you die multiple times, or when I need to use your abilities, or when you use the favor I owe you. Other than that, I will not give you any help."

"Of course, don't think of forcing me to show up by deliberately dying multiple times. If you do that, you'll violate our second agreement. Don't blame me for using extreme measures. And after this, every time I take action, you'll owe me a favor."

"Think carefully about what to choose."

"Senior, you are so clear in your calculations, which makes me feel that you are so cold..."

Subaru Natsuki looked hurt.

"Oh? Really? I think I've been very kind."

Li Shanren picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If you were a selfish and evil person, you would have been locked up now, with your whole body under control to prevent you from committing suicide. You would only be provided with basic water and food every day to ensure your survival. When necessary, you would be stabbed. If you escaped, you would be captured again... To be honest, this approach is in my best interest."

"But now, I have given you the opportunity to communicate on an equal footing, and even given you the opportunity to choose and trade. By the way, I would like to remind you that you'd better not tell others about your abilities, otherwise the above situation is likely to happen."

Hearing the senior's words, Subaru Natsuki's face turned green. He also analyzed it himself and found that the situation described by the senior really had a high probability of happening.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's get down to business first. When you're done, tell me your choice."

Li Shanren put down the teacup.

"Your original plan was to find the candidate for the Archon, go to the stolen goods vault with her, and finally deal with the killer together, right? Now that's not necessary. You just take me to the stolen goods vault to get the things back, and then we'll return the things to her. If the female killer shows up again, leave it to me to deal with."

......

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the azure blue sky gradually turns bright orange and red.

The thief girl with short golden hair was playing with the exquisite badge in her hand, running through the alleys of the slums like the wind, with an irrepressible smile on the corner of her mouth.

After completing this order, she will be able to live a worry-free life for a long time.

Firut was very excited at the thought that he would no longer have to go hungry.

She had already planned that after getting the money, she would take Grandpa Rom out for a big meal, and then buy herself some nice and decent clothes.

Finally, he bought a house of his own in the royal capital, moved out of that shabby shack, and never came back!

A wonderful life is beckoning to you!

With a smile on her face, Felt couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

By the way, the owner of this badge is really difficult to deal with. He chased her for three hours. If it weren't for the protection of wind, she might have been caught by the other party.

Firut never saw anything wrong with stealing other people's belongings to support himself.

As an orphan, she could only desperately try every possible means to survive. The guilt caused by stealing other people's belongings had long disappeared in the day-to-day theft.

A few minutes later, she finally arrived at the stolen goods storage.

Looking at the stolen goods vault with its door wide open, Firut couldn't help but feel confused.

Normally, Uncle Rom would keep the door tightly closed and would not open it unless he received the secret signal.

Did something happen today?

Firut's eyes became alert, and she took two steps to the door like a wisp of smoke. With the help of the wind, her movements were swift and light.
