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

The blue-haired maid named "Rem" died.

Die quietly.

This shocked Li Shanren, who had been staying in the mansion all night without sleep.

Last night, most of his attention was focused on Subaru Natsuki, and he paid no attention to the other people in the mansion.

Moreover, Rem died in her room. As an honest and friendly gentleman, it was impossible for him to sneak into someone's room last night to check if the other person was still alive.

Therefore, he only learned the news when Ram used magic to blast open his door.

Rem's death means that all the speculations that Li Shanren and Lai Yue Subaru based on their analysis of the second reincarnation have been overturned.

Originally, they thought that the person who cast the curse came from inside the mansion and was only targeting them, the two outsiders.

But now, Rem, as a person inside the mansion, was cursed and died, and the murderer's motive was completely unclear.

This result can only lead to another speculation——

The person who cast the curse came from outside the mansion.

This matter is not that simple, it is very likely that a third party was behind it.

After coming to this conclusion, Li Shanren suddenly had a headache.

He didn't know how to explain to Rem's sister, the pink-haired maid Ram. No matter how you look at it now, he and Subaru Natsuki, two outsiders, have become the biggest suspects in Rem's murder.

He had no evidence to prove that he and Subaru Natsuki were not the murderers.

Ram was so furious that she almost lost her mind. She focused all her suspicions on the two unfortunate people.

Excerpts from memories:

In front of Rem's room, Subaru Natsuki stared blankly at the blue-haired maid who seemed to be fast asleep on the bed. The cold morning light slightly illuminated her delicate and lovely face.

He doesn't understand...

He doesn't understand why this is happening?

Why don’t I just die? The dead person will become Rem?

Roswaal, Ram, Beatrice, Parker...even Emilia, the senior...

These people can't be the murderer!

So who is the murderer?

The murderer... could only be someone from outside...

"Wrong... Senior, we all guessed wrong..."

Subaru Laiyue whispered silently.

“Whoosh—whoosh—!”

The violent wind blades swept across the entire corridor and bombarded the light green spirit shield. The extremely tough magic shield steadily took every blow.

"Can you calm down?" Standing inside the shield, Li Shanren spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm sorry about Miss Rem's death, but this really has nothing to do with us."

At the end of the corridor, the pink-haired maid with wind blades condensed in her hands completely ignored any words and just kept attacking, with a look of hatred on her tear-stained face.

"Ugh......"

Li Shanren sighed deeply. The maid named "Ram" was almost impossible to communicate with.

It was totally beyond his expectation that things would turn out like this.

He didn't know more about Rem's death than Ram, but the other party firmly believed that the two of them had an inseparable relationship in this matter.

In Li Shanren's opinion, in the first two reincarnations, Subaru Natsuki was clearly a scapegoat for Rem.

If the person who cast the curse came from outside the mansion, it would mean that regardless of whether the two of them were in the mansion or not, the mysterious person would cast the curse on someone in the mansion.

Judging from the current developments, putting aside the unexpected factor of Subaru Natsuki, the person who was cursed is most likely Rem.

Rem's death is inevitable. If she doesn't die, Subaru Natsuki will die.

Subaru Natsuki's death will cause time to go back. Unless the mysterious man can be found before the curse breaks out, it will be a dead end.

At least, that's what Li Shanren saw.

"You...! You must know something!" Ram suppressed her sadness and shouted in a cold tone, "When I told you about Rem's death, you all reacted in the same way! You knew someone would die today, right? But you didn't expect it to be Rem!"

"Why?! Why did you choose Rem? Tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I will leave you here even if I die!"

"Whether you believe it or not, we know no more than you do!" Li Shanren said in a deep voice, his face gradually becoming gloomy. "You are just venting your emotions to us! It is of no help at all in investigating Rem's death!"

"I have emphasized to you many times that Rem's death has nothing to do with us! So what if you killed us? The real murderer ran away long ago! In the end, you just killed two innocent people to vent your anger! You don't care about the truth at all! You are just determined to paralyze yourself with wrong conclusions, and then kill two people who should not be killed to gain psychological comfort!"

"I don't think you care how Rem died! Everything you did was just to serve your emotions! In the end, you are just a madman controlled by your emotions!"

Li Shanren's words were like sharp knives that pierced deeply into Ram's heart.

The wind elements surrounding her were as violent as waves, perfectly showing the anger in her heart.

"You actually...actually said something like that!!!"

She gritted her teeth, her red eyes revealing endless hatred.

A deep purple hole slowly appeared on her forehead, and terrifying magical power gathered in the hole, as if something was about to grow out of it.

At the same time, her momentum continued to rise at a terrifying speed, gradually reaching a point that even Li Shanren was terrified.

Ram seemed to be...completely going berserk.

"what's the situation......"

Li Shanren only felt that the pink-haired maid in front of him seemed to be turning into something extremely terrifying. In front of her, even he felt great psychological pressure.

It was as if he was still an ordinary person and encountered a tiger alone and unarmed.

In other words, there is no sense of winning.

Although, it's just a feeling...

He originally thought that Ram's strength was at most similar to Rem's, but now it seems that this is not the case.

On the path of transcendence, Ram is far superior to Rem, but there seems to be some kind of limitation in showing such strength.

Li Shanren's heart sank and he pulled out the meteorite staff and held it in his hand.

If Ram is allowed to be completely liberated, then he and Subaru Natsuki will be at the mercy of others.

We must stop her before that happens!

Thinking of this, the purple pyroxene on the top of the staff began to emit a dazzling blue-green light.

"Stop it, Ram."

At this tense moment, a steady voice came out.

Roswaal, wearing gorgeous marquis' attire and clown makeup on his face, stepped into the corridor. Although he had a smile on his face, anyone could tell that the marquis was not in a good mood.

After hearing Roswaal's words, Ram's rising momentum stagnated slightly, and then quickly faded away. The hole on her forehead also slowly disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Lord Roswaal, Rem... Rem is dead, and from now on only Ram will be left."

Standing next to the Marquis, Ram trembled and spoke while suppressing his tears.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sad too."

Roswaal touched Ram's head and comforted him, then looked at Li Shanren.

"Master Claude, and...Master Subaru Natsuki, one of my servants has died. Although she was just a servant, she was like a sister to me. I cannot take her death lightly."

"Also, during the past few days in the mansion, it was Rem who was in charge of serving you two. She is a good child. If you two are even a little bit indebted to her, please tell me everything you know. Don't tell me that you know nothing—"

Roswaal habitually stretched out the last syllable.

But Li Shanren could tell from his tone that the Marquis was not joking.

If the two of them can't say something useful to clear their suspicion, then he... will fight Ram and Roswaal.

Roswaal, the chief magician of the royal capital, is known as the person who has reached the pinnacle of the three elemental magics of "fire, wind, and earth". In fact, he has perfectly mastered the six main elements of magic of "earth, fire, wind, water, yin and yang", and is a person who can rival an army alone.

It is precisely because of this that his mansion is not filled with guards like other nobles, because there is no need for it.

In the royal capital, Roswaal is synonymous with elegance and strength.

What's even more terrifying is that he is only in his early twenties, but he has already reached the pinnacle of magic and is only one step away from becoming a god.

He is the perfect elemental mage, the chantless spellcaster, the border guardian, and he is a holy silver-level magician, the so-called "holy mage".

Li Shanren quickly went through the information about Roswaal in his mind, and his body gradually tensed up.

It can be said that this is an opponent that he is completely unable to defeat at his current level.

When facing an enemy of this level, the only two magics he could use were Broom Star and Lenara's Full Moon.

The enhanced version of "Great Kalia", which he regarded as one of his trump cards, was difficult to pose a threat to Roswaal because it was restricted from moving during its release.

Once the fight begins, the spirit shield will definitely not be able to withstand Roswaal's attack.

He had to rely on "Invincibility" and "Mist Raptor" to avoid damage, but that was only a momentary protection.

If Roswaal used a large-scale magic with continuous damage, a moment of protection would be a joke.

so......

Li Shanren's eyes calmed down, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I have to discuss it with Lai Yue Subaru first. After all, this is not just my business."

Seeing that he was willing to give in, Roswaal did not refuse the request and said, "I'll only give you five minutes—"

Li Shanren turned around and dragged the confused Natsuki Subaru out a dozen steps, a little away from the two men, then he patted Natsuki Subaru's dull face and said in a low voice: "Hey, wake up, things have come to this point, there is no point in running away. To be honest, I can't handle Roswaal, and even Ram seems to have some kind of trump card that can kill both of us..."

"But... I am sure I can help you escape from them. Now it depends on your choice."

"Either I stab you and let everything start over again, but I can't guarantee that I can find the murderer in the next reincarnation. Without our interference, Rem will most likely die, or you will be cursed and become her scapegoat. I will make it clear in advance that I will not play this reincarnation game with you forever. If I don't see any hope of solving the situation, I will forcibly take you away in a certain reincarnation."

"Either I take you away or you come back to Byron Kingworth with me and don't worry about what's going on here. The waters here are very deep and it's beyond the control of a mere high school student like you."

"My personal suggestion is that I will stab you first, and then come back next time to take you away from here before things explode. Rem may die later, but it has nothing to do with us, and we don't have to worry about Ram and Roswaal hunting us down. This is the choice that best suits our interests. It's up to you whether you want to continue to wade into this mess. I respect you, so I give you the opportunity to choose."

"Of course, you can choose nothing. I will help you make the decision."

One of Lee Sun In's trump cards is to use an item called the "Pure Blood Knight Medal".

This thing has a teleportation function. After using it, he can teleport to the Blood Dynasty at the border, and can also teleport living things together.

The cost of using it will deduct one thousand runes from him, which is the same as the runes required to repair a blessed memory.

If you bring one more living creature, one thousand more runes will be deducted.

All I can say is that there is no free lunch in the world, and the law of conservation of energy is everywhere...

But at least it gave him an option to escape.

Now his only concern was that he didn't know what would happen if he took Subaru Natsuki to the border.

If the jealous witch can't find Subaru Natsuki in this world, will she go crazy...

If the Witch of Jealousy used Subaru as a reference point and headed to the border, it would be even more terrifying...

This means that Li Shanren’s biggest secret has been exposed to the eyes of a higher-level being.

There is no doubt that the Witch of Jealousy, who can give Subaru Natsuki the ability to go back in time, is comparable to a true God to some extent.

Even though she has been dead for hundreds of years, she is still not completely dead and can jump out occasionally...

Therefore, for the sake of world safety and his own secrets, he was not inclined to use this method to take Subaru Natsuki away.

Otherwise... let's give this guy a knife. One-click restart is convenient and fast...

"senior......"

Subaru Natsuki whispered, his voice trembling slightly.

Although in this mansion, the person he cares about most is Emilia, followed by his seniors.

But for some reason, seeing the blue-haired maid lying soundlessly on the bed, Subaru Natsuki felt empty inside, as if something was missing.

"I don't understand...why would it be Rem?"

"You asked me this question, who should I ask? I don't know more about this matter than you do." Li Shanren lowered his voice and said, "Instead, you should think carefully about whether you missed some factors that caused the death to be changed this time. The opponent chose Rem this time instead of the weaker you, which means that if he takes action, Rem is his best choice."

"I... my mind is so confused now, I can't think of anything..."

Subaru Natsuki hit his head and said in a self-blaming tone.

"So what? Roswaal won't have the patience to wait for us to think about it slowly. We don't have much time. Do you want to hand the decision-making power to me?" Li Shanren asked.

Hearing this, Lai Yue Subaru slowly stopped his hand, and various thoughts flashed through his eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath, looked at Li Shanren and said: "Senior, give me another chance."

"So you choose to enter the next reincarnation?"

"Well... please move faster."

Subaru Natsuki closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

"In that case..." Li Shanren did not act immediately. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Roswaal behind him. "It doesn't matter what happens next. Why don't you do me another favor and enter the reincarnation later?"

"Eh?" Subaru Natsuki opened his eyes and was slightly stunned. "Senior, what are you going to do?"

"I want to see the level of a Saint Silver-level magician."
