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

Li Shanren took the girl who was suspected to be the mastermind and prepared to find a place to interrogate her.

On the other side, Subaru Natsuki and Rem have returned to the village.

At the mansion, Beatrice told Subaru Natsuki that the curse on him could only be contracted after personal contact.

Based on this condition, Subaru Natsuki immediately suspected the puppy that had bitten him in the village.

But when he returned to the village, he was told that the children in the village had mistakenly run into the forest.

Knowing the danger of the forest, Subaru wants to go into the forest to search, but is dissuaded by Rem.

As it gets darker, the monsters in the forest will become more dangerous and violent at night. Rem asks Subaru to stay in the village and wait while she goes into the forest alone to search.

Subaru Natsuki rejected the proposal, and the two had an argument.

In the end, under Subaru's insistence, Rem had no choice but to take him into the forest.

After searching in the forest for more than ten minutes, they successfully found the children who ran into the forest. Those children were unconscious and seemed to have been intentionally placed in an open space. They were all infected with the curse.

When Subaru Natsuki and Rem walked forward, a dozen black and red wolfhounds immediately emerged from the woods surrounding the open space and surrounded them.

Rem brandished the ferocious meteor hammer for "self-defense" and fought fiercely with the wolfhounds, while Subaru Natsuki went to check on the children.

While checking, a girl named "Petra" woke up halfway and told Subaru that there was another girl with pigtails deep in the forest.

After learning the news, Subaru told Rem, who had just finished the battle, and suggested that Rem return to the village with the child first, while he would go alone to find the child.

Rem naturally disagreed with this proposal. After all, Subaru Natsuki had almost no fighting ability, and if he encountered a black and red wolfhound, it would be a life-and-death situation.

Moreover, she has not completely trusted Subaru Natsuki yet, and even suspects that all this may be directed and acted by Subaru Natsuki himself, and that the other party wants to use this as an excuse to escape.

At this time, Subaru Natsuki saw what Rem was thinking, so he told her frankly that he knew Rem could smell the witch's scent on him, and with this scent, he would not be able to escape Rem's pursuit.

Rem was quite shocked by these showdown-like words.

After some persuasion, Rem finally agreed to Subaru Natsuki's proposal, and Subaru Natsuki was able to go deep into the forest alone to find the girl with pigtails.

During the search, he was attacked by a black and red wolfhound as expected. After a fight, he luckily won.

But then more wolfhounds appeared and chased Subaru madly. At the critical moment of life and death, Rem, who had returned from the past, arrived in time and rescued Subaru, but the two were also surrounded.

During the fierce fight, Rem suddenly exploded, a sharp horn grew on her head, and she displayed inhuman strength, which caused her to fall into rage and her sanity level decreased.

During the battle, Subaru Natsuki realized that the witch aura on his body would attract monsters, and as long as he wanted to tell the truth about the "cycle of death", the witch aura on his body would surge.

At the critical moment, Subaru Natsuki relied on this ability to use his physical body to block a sneak attack from behind for Rem, but he himself was seriously injured and fell unconscious. Before he lost consciousness, he could only hear Rem's anxious and angry cries.

The night passed.

When Subaru Natsuki woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in a house in the village, and Emilia seemed to be taking care of him.

Emilia had fallen asleep on the bed, with Puck flying out from her hair. Subaru Natsuki learned from her that Emilia had consumed too much magic power in order to heal his wounds, and therefore fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Subaru Natsuki was quite moved, thanked him, and then got up and left the house.

When we arrived at the village, Ram had already come down from his mansion on the mountain to take over the village affairs. At the same time, Beatrice lifted the curse for the children infected with the curse.

Except for the girl with pigtails who has not been found yet, it seems that the matter is gradually dying down.

But Beatrice privately pulled Subaru Natsuki into a corner and told him coldly that he had been infected by the curse again because the monster bit him.

Moreover, because too many magical beasts have bitten him, the curse he is infected with has accumulated layer by layer and has become so complicated that it is extremely difficult to remove. Even Beatrice is helpless. Unless all the magical beasts that infected him with the curse are eliminated, Subaru Natsuki will definitely die.

But there were more than just one or two monsters that bit Lai Yue Subaru, and trying to find and kill them all one by one was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Subaru Natsuki didn't react very much to this. In his opinion, he gained a lot from this reincarnation. Even if he died now, he could make a comeback unscathed in the next reincarnation.

As long as the seniors don't get angry...

Thinking of his senior, Subaru Natsuki realized that he had hardly seen his "senior" yesterday, so he asked Beatrice about Li Shanren's situation. He learned from her that the man named "Claude" left the mansion yesterday evening and did not return all night.

At the same time, because he was infected with the curse again, Rem felt very guilty, so she went into the forest alone to hunt those black and red wolfhounds, wanting to kill all those monsters and lift the curse on Subaru Natsuki.

After learning about this, Subaru Natsuki believes that Rem cannot be left to fight alone, and wants to enter the forest to find Rem.

Despite Beatrice's dissuasion, Subaru Natsuki insisted on going to the forest. After all, he had seen the dangers of the forest, and Subaru Natsuki believed that the curse was his own business, and he could not accept letting Rem be fully responsible for his affairs.

Ram, who knew nothing about this, was also anxious to go into the forest to look for Rem.

Finally, Subaru Natsuki takes the best sword in the village and returns to the forest with Ram.

But it is very difficult to find Rem in the vast forest. Even if Ram uses detection magic many times, it is difficult to find Rem's trace.

Finally, Subaru Natsuki thought of a way. He used his own witch aura to attract those monsters, which would also attract Rem to find them actively.

This method was successful in attracting a large number of black and red wolfhounds, and Rem also followed.

At this time, Rem had entered a violent state with horns growing on her head. She used the meteor hammer in her hand to frantically hunt the dogs, and at the same time she completely lost her mind.

But with such a huge number, no matter how many she hunted, the black and red wolfhounds showed no signs of decreasing significantly, but instead increased in number.

After seeing Subaru Natsuki and Ram, Rem could hardly recognize them and just kept slaughtering the black and red wolfhounds.

During the battle, Rem, who was in a state of confusion, had no idea how to protect herself and could only attack purely, causing more and more wounds on her body.

At the critical moment, Subaru Natsuki once again used the witch's aura on his body to block a fatal injury for Rem, but at the same time, he and Rem were also targeted and hunted down by wolfhounds.

Subaru Natsuki could only pull the unconscious Rem into the depths of the forest, with Ram following closely behind.

During the escape, Rem gradually regained consciousness, but after she ended her berserk state, her injuries worsened and she gradually lost her strength to fight. She even became unable to move and could only be carried by Subaru Natsuki to escape.

After regaining consciousness, Rem felt despair and regret about the current situation, believing that it was her own fault that caused three people to fall into danger. However, she had lost all her strength at this time and could only rely on the protection of Subaru Natsuki and her sister Ram.

After learning about Rem's inner emotions, Subaru Natsuki gave her in-depth guidance and helped her get out of her extreme negative emotions.

The three of them fled all the way in the forest, but they were eventually surrounded by a group of black and red wolfhounds.

At the same time, he met the puppy that had bitten Subaru Natsuki.

The puppy was standing alone on a high rock. When it saw the three people, anthropomorphic contempt was revealed in its eyes.

Then it removed its disguise and transformed into a terrifying wolfhound nearly four meters tall, with a strong aura, as if it was the king of the dog pack.

At this moment, the three of them were already at the end of their strength and were almost in a dead end.

In the critical moment, Subaru Natsuki entrusted Rem on his back to Ram, and used the "taunting" ability of the witch's breath to lead the dogs away, giving the two maids a chance to escape.

After running for several minutes, Subaru Natsuki, who was being chased alone, was still caught up.

He mustered up his courage, wielded the best sword in the village and attacked the Dog King, stabbing the blade into the Dog King's neck, but was then slapped away by a claw and was seriously injured and dying.

At the critical moment, a beautiful female archer rushed out riding a silver-backed wolf as big as a calf. She plucked the bowstring one after another and shot out three magic arrows in an instant, blocking the attack of the Dog King.

Then, the wolf under her pounced the black and red wolfhound to the ground, bit off the dog king's neck with one bite, and spewed out icy breath from its mouth, freezing it to death completely.

Behind the female archer, there were two other silver-backed wolves chasing the remaining black and red wolfhounds. They were as fast as the wind, had sharp teeth and claws, and could breathe out icy breath. They hunted the wolfhounds madly, creating a one-sided massacre.

When the female archer led the wolves to hunt down the wolfhounds, Li Shanren rode out from the depths of the woods nearby on Torret.

Just as he came to the unconscious Subaru Natsuki, Roswaal's voice came from the sky, as if he had just returned from going out.

Roswaal could tell at a glance that Subaru Natsuki was cursed, so he deployed his "magic field" to surround all the black and red wolfhounds.

In the end, with the joint efforts of the two, these monsters were all destroyed, and Subaru Natsuki was relieved of the curse crisis.

Subaru Natsuki was in a coma for a day and a night. When he woke up, he was back at the mansion, with Rem by his side.

Not to mention how the two had a heart-to-heart talk after waking up, on the other hand, after confirming that the incident had been satisfactorily resolved, Li Shanren left the mansion without saying goodbye and went to the royal capital.

Subaru Natsuki learned the news a day later.

Li Shanren only left him one sentence in the message scroll -

[I'm leaving first. If you have any questions, send me a message. I can't help with big questions, and I don't like to help with small questions, but remember, send me a message if you have any questions.]

Li Shanren did not hand over the girl who planned this incident, but wanted to take her back to the capital.

Because he found two communication scrolls on the other person, one of which was a special black scroll that automatically burned up the moment Li Shanren touched it, and the other ordinary scroll recorded the conversation between the girl and someone close to her.

After reading the scroll, Li Shanren learned that the girl's name was "Merry", and the person she was talking to was actually the "Hunter" Elsa, whom he had just conquered not long ago.

On the way back to the royal capital, Li Shanren met Ludwig again.

In other words, Ludwig took the initiative to find him and asked Li Shanren to go to the southeastern border of the Caesar Republic, where his real body would pick up Li Shanren and go to the Holy City.

As a legendary figure, Ludwig's every move is naturally watched by many people.

Currently, the atmosphere between the Kingdom of Jonia and the Republic of Caesar is delicate. As a representative of the kingdom, he cannot enter the territory of the Republic of Caesar at will and needs to submit a corresponding diplomatic application before he can enter.

The formal procedures take a long time, and if Ludwig enters the country through formal means, he will probably be monitored at all times.

Therefore, he chose to sneak across the border, but he was still discovered by the "Sword Saint" Reinhardt, who arrived at the border from the royal capital in almost an instant and stopped Ludwig alone with a single sword.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, razing the area within a hundred miles to the ground. In the end, no one could determine the winner, and the two men, who did not want to escalate the situation, had to stop.

As a result, Ludwig was stopped outside the border and could only send several phantom clones to sneak into the Caesar Republic to look for Li Shanren.

Faced with Ludwig's request, Li Shanren pondered for a moment.

After all, the other party is a legendary figure, and he cannot but give him face, but he also doesn't want to travel all the way to the border.

So he proposed a compromise plan:

Li Shanren will return to Byrkinworth soon and asked Ludwig to go there to find him.

After thinking about it, Ludwig agreed to the proposal.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to fight with Reinhardt again.

Li Shanren did not hesitate to tell Ludwig his current residence. If the other party wanted to check, he would not be able to hide this information.

After returning to the detached villa he rented in the royal capital, Li Shanren asked Meili, who had already woken up, to stay in the house and went out alone.

Last night, he had interrogated the girl with pigtails and learned the whole story from her.

Like Elsa, Meli is also a member of the Northern Assassination Organization. She is a natural beastmaster with the ability to control beasts. She can command and manipulate hundreds of beasts at most, and currently can operate gold-level beasts at the highest level.

She also took on a mission to attack a mansion, so she sneaked into the village and used a magical beast called "Cursed Dog" to curse the people from Roswaal's mansion.

In the previous reincarnation, it was she who killed Subaru Natsuki and Rem who died from the curse.

Meli has a distorted worldview and values. Her upbringing was as rough as Elsa's. She was abandoned in the forest since she was a child. Perhaps because she had some kind of protection related to monsters, she was not eaten by the monsters in the forest, but was raised by them instead.

Later, Elsa found her when passing by the forest and brought her back to the Frost of the North, where she was trained to be a beastmaster and work for the organization together.

Due to her young age and special abilities, Meli has not received any combat training and can only drive monsters to fight the enemy.

Her complicated upbringing has made her values ​​different from those of ordinary people. She does not mind killing, and is even influenced by Elsa, becoming very cruel when faced with killing.

All in all, she's a problem child like Elsa.

After the mission failed, although Meili was surprised that Li Shanren spared her life, she also fell into panic.

Children who fail in their missions will be "cleaned up" by people sent by the organization's leader, code-named "Mother".

Mary knew that there were many powerful assassins in the organization and she could be assassinated at any time and anywhere.

After Li Shanren learned about this, he suddenly realized that since Meli was assassinated by the Frost of the North, Elsa was in the same situation.

In this case, Elsa is not suitable to be a guard, and the assassin sent by the Frost of the North is likely to hurt others.

But why didn't Elsa tell him about this? Could it be that she wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

With such doubts, Li Shanren decided to return to Byrd Kingworth as soon as possible.

Before going back, he contacted Ezio who stayed in the royal capital and met with him.

This kid is now hanging out with the assassin named "Arno" and slowly learning about the local Assassin's resistance.

Li Shanren asked him to help keep an eye out for information about the Frost of the North, and at the same time recruit as many local people as possible to form an Assassin Brotherhood.

After finishing this matter, Li Shanren returned to his rented residence, took Meili to the teleportation hall, and set off back to Bailkingworth.

-------Dividing line------

It seems that "Bairkinworth" was mistakenly written as "Byronkinworth" in the previous part. It's the same place, just a translation problem.

Prepare to speed up the plot even further...
