Just a Traveler

"Call..."

Fang Li's words made Subaru Natsuki breathe a sigh of relief.

After finally letting out a sigh of relief, Subaru Natsuki's questions resurfaced.

It was only then that the oblivious Subaru Natsuki finally realized the various problems.

Why does Fang Li know so much?

Putting everything else aside, even Subaru Natsuki Subaru Natsuki was unaware of his special ability until he died once, so why was Fang Li so clear about it?

With this question in mind, Subaru Natsuki couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly, "How did you know I had that... death chapter—"

Just as Subaru Natsuki was about to reveal the name of his ability, his voice suddenly stopped as if it had been cut off.

At the same time, Subaru Natsuki's eyes widened, and a pale expression appeared on his face.

At that moment, Subaru Natsuki clearly sensed it.

(There's something...)

Something was tightly gripping Subaru Natsuki's neck, preventing him from speaking.

No, it's not about strangling someone by the neck, it's about strangling their consciousness.

It was as if Subaru Natsuki was being isolated from this world; all the voices were fading away from him.

Following the sound, even time began to recede from Subaru Natsuki's Subaru Natsuki, making everything before him seem to freeze in place.

The bizarre situation almost made Subaru Natsuki scream out loud.

At that moment, a hand pressed down hard on Subaru Natsuki's shoulder, bringing Subaru Natsuki.

Fang Li stared at Subaru Natsuki, whose face was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and sighed.

"It seems that the person who gave you this ability doesn't want you to talk about it."

As Fang Li's words were spoken, Subaru Natsuki finally felt that everything around him had returned to normal, and the hustle and bustle of the street dispelled the previous eerie situation.

"Woo-ha!"

At the same time, Subaru Natsuki also exhaled roughly, as if he had just drowned.

Subaru Natsuki then realized that he had been holding his breath without realizing it, which was causing his lungs to ache.

So, Subaru Natsuki got up while panting heavily and forcing a smile.

"The one who granted me these abilities? Could it be that damn beautiful girl from Other World who summoned me here?"

Fang Li did not answer this question.

However, Fang Li narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

At this moment, Fang Li recalled what happened in the black fog.

At that moment, someone did appear behind Fang Li, reached out, and hugged Fang Li.

Fang Li didn't see the other person's whole face, only the hands that were holding him.

Thinking of this, Fang Li smiled and said, "What's certain is that the other party definitely doesn't want you to die, which is why they gave you the ability to Return by Death. But who knows?"

As it turns out, Fang Li himself was able to say the name of this ability.

Is it because only Subaru Natsuki can't say it out loud?

Or is it due to the unique characteristics of the Fang Li itself?

Fang Li didn't know.

However, there was one thing Fang Li knew.

That is, even if time were reversed, the things that were going to happen would still happen.

Therefore, Fang Li pointed in a direction and said this to Subaru Natsuki with a half-smile.

"So? Are you planning to chase after them again this time?"

Upon hearing this, Subaru Natsuki was taken aback at first, but when he looked in the direction Fang Li was pointing, he immediately saw it.

There, a girl with withered blonde hair was running wildly on the rooftops of buildings along the street, her red eyes filled with excitement, clutching a badge in her hand as she took heavy steps.

"Call----!"

A whirlwind suddenly appeared around the girl, causing her speed to surge dramatically, allowing her to sweep across the rooftop at an astonishing speed.

Who else could it be but Felt?

Watching Felt dart across the rooftops, Subaru Natsuki simply stood there, stunned for a long time.

Previously, Subaru Natsuki had planned to catch up with Felt, which led to the series of events that followed.

If we continue to chase after them this time, will we repeat the same mistake?

Do we have to chase Felt all the way to the Thieves' Den again?

If we trace it to the Thieves' Den, will we encounter that killer again?

Upon thinking of this, Subaru Natsuki's expression contorted, and he let out a dry laugh.

Finally, Subaru Natsuki said this.

"I think we should... forget it."

Subaru Natsuki attempted to recount the matter in a lighthearted tone.

"Anyway, she's not the beautiful girl who summoned us to this Other World; she's just a thief. There's no need for us to keep bothering her, right?"

Subaru Natsuki was unaware that his voice sounded somewhat desperate.

"So, here, let's honestly return to the original route. That's right, we are time travelers. According to the plot, even if we don't encounter beautiful girls, we can still use our modern knowledge to create legends here and live like kings."

"Perhaps one day we really could become kings here? In any case, it certainly wouldn't hurt!"

"Alright, your chance to get rich is right in front of you, young man. Follow me, Subaru Natsuki, and I guarantee you—"

This time, Fang Li didn't let Subaru Natsuki finish speaking.

"Felt has already stolen that girl's badge."

Fang Li directly gave this sentence.

"According to your logic, based on the plot, that girl will definitely chase after Felt all the way to the slum's Thieves' Den in order to find that badge."

"And what awaits her there, and what kind of ending awaits her? As a time traveler, don't tell me you don't know whether it will be a happy ending or a bad ending."

These words all transformed into invisible swords that could not be ignored, piercing Subaru Natsuki's heart and freezing Subaru Natsuki face completely.

"Or are you saying that since we haven't met that girl yet, there's no need to take any risks?" Fang Li said casually.

"If that's the case, then I don't care."

"However, I want to tell you that the true protagonist is one who has overcome such trials."

"And you are merely a time traveler."

The merciless words finally shattered Subaru Natsuki's long-held delusions, ruthlessly revealing all the truth.

Under these circumstances, Subaru Natsuki finally lost his temper.

"You make it sound so easy!" Subaru Natsuki shouted. "You just want to see me die, damn it!"

After saying that, Subaru Natsuki immediately raised his fist.

However, at that moment, a voice stopped Subaru Natsuki.

"Alright! That's enough!"
