"Phew..."
Fang Li's words made Natsuki Subaru exhale a sigh of relief. But as soon as he relaxed, questions flooded Natsuki Subaru's mind.
It wasn't until this moment that the slow-witted Natsuki Subaru finally realized the various questions.
Why did Fang Li know so much?
Leaving aside everything else, just the matter of Natsuki Subaru's special ability, even Natsuki Subaru himself didn't know about it until it activated after his death. So why did Fang Li seem so aware of it?
With this question in mind, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but directly ask, "Why do you know about my... what's it called, the ability to come back from death—"
Just as Natsuki Subaru was about to say the name of his ability, his voice suddenly stopped abruptly, as if it had been choked off. At the same time, Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened, his face turning pale.
At that moment, Natsuki Subaru clearly felt it.
(There's something...)
Something was tightly gripping Natsuki Subaru's throat, preventing him from speaking.
No, not gripping his throat, but his consciousness.
It was like isolating Natsuki Subaru from this world, with all sounds fading away from him.
And following the disappearance of sound, even time began to drift away from Natsuki Subaru, leaving everything in front of him frozen in a state of suspension.
The eerie situation made Natsuki Subaru almost want to scream out loud.
At that moment, a hand firmly pressed on Natsuki Subaru's shoulder, bringing him back to his senses.
Fang Li gazed at the bewildered Natsuki Subaru and sighed. "It seems that the person who gave you the ability doesn't want you to speak about it."
With Fang Li's words, Natsuki Subaru felt everything around him return to normal, dispersing the strange atmosphere that had previously enveloped the lively street.
"Wū Hā!"
At the same time, Natsuki Subaru, like someone who had just escaped drowning, took a rough breath.
It was only then that Natsuki Subaru realized that he had been holding his breath unconsciously since just now, causing his lungs to ache.
So, as he breathed heavily, Natsuki Subaru forced a smile.
"The person who gave me the ability, huh? Could it be that damned beautiful girl from Another World who summoned me here?"
Fang Li didn't answer this question.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes and pondered.
At this moment, Fang Li recalled the events in the black fog.
There was indeed a person who appeared behind Fang Li, extending their hand, embracing Fang Li.
Fang Li didn't see the person's full appearance, only the hands embracing him.
With this in mind, Fang Li smirked and said, "It's certain that the other party definitely doesn't want you dead, which is why they gave you the ability to Return by Death (Shinimodori). But who knows?"
However, Fang Li himself could mention the name of this ability.
Was it because only Natsuki Subaru couldn't say it out loud?
Or was it because of Fang Li's own special abilities?
Fang Li didn't know.
But there was one thing Fang Li did know.
That is, even with time reversal, what should happen will still happen.
Therefore, Fang Li pointed in a direction and said to Natsuki Subaru with a smirk, "What do you think? Are you still planning to chase after her this time?"
Upon hearing this, Natsuki Subaru first froze, but when he looked in the direction Fang Li pointed, he immediately saw her.
There, a girl with golden hair was running wildly on the rooftop of a building beside the street, her red eyes filled with excitement as she tightly gripped an insignia, taking heavy steps forward.
"Hū—!"
A whirlwind flashed around the girl's body, suddenly boosting her speed as she dashed from the rooftop with astonishing speed.
Who else could it be besides Felt?
Watching Felt dash across the rooftop, Natsuki Subaru stood there, unable to snap out of it for a while.
Previously, Natsuki Subaru had intended to catch up with Felt, but it only led to a series of subsequent events.
This time, would chasing after her again lead to the same outcome?
Would he end up chasing Felt all the way to the Stolen Goods Warehouse again?
And if they reached the Stolen Goods Warehouse, would they encounter that homicidal maniac again?
With these thoughts, Natsuki Subaru's expression became spasmodic, forcing out a dry laugh.
In the end, Natsuki Subaru said, "Let's... let's just forget it."
Natsuki Subaru attempted to speak in a light tone.
"After all, she's not the beautiful girl who summoned us to this Another World, just a mere thief. We don't need to continue getting entangled with her, right?"
Natsuki Subaru didn't realize that his voice sounded somewhat desperate.
"So, here, let's just return to our original path honestly. Yes, we're travelers, and according to the storyline, even if we don't encounter the beautiful girl, we can still create legends here with our modern knowledge and live like kings."
"Maybe one day we'll truly become kings here? Anyway, there's definitely no harm in trying!"
"Alright, the opportunity for wealth and success is right in front of us, young man, follow me, Natsuki Subaru, and I guarantee—"
This time, Fang Li didn't let Natsuki Subaru finish.
"Felt has already stolen that girl's insignia," Fang Li said directly.
"In your words, according to the storyline, next, that girl will absolutely chase after Felt to find that insignia, all the way to the Stolen Goods Warehouse in the slums."
"And there, what awaits her, and what kind of ending she'll face, as a traveler, don't tell me you don't know whether it'll be a Happy End or a Bad End."
These words, like invisible swords, pierced Natsuki Subaru's heart, causing his expression to completely freeze.
"Or do you want to say that because we haven't met that girl at this point in time, there's simply no need to take risks?" Fang Li said casually.
"If that's the case, then I don't care."
"Only, I want to tell you, a true protagonist is only recognized after overcoming such trials."
"And you, you're just a traveler."
These merciless words finally shattered Natsuki Subaru's long-held delusions, mercilessly revealing all the facts.
In this situation, Natsuki Subaru finally became angry.
"You say it so easily!" Natsuki Subaru exclaimed loudly. "You just hope to see me die, damn it!"
With that said, Natsuki Subaru immediately raised his fist.
However, at that moment, a voice stopped Natsuki Subaru.
"Enough! That's it!"
