She was indeed very beautiful, at least by Li Meng's standards.

She had the figure and the face.

The only thing was, she seemed a bit young, around fifteen.

However, a year in this world seemed to have over four hundred days.

By Earth's standards, she wasn't that young.

"What is your relationship with Miss Susan?"

"Uh... well, I suppose we're from the same hometown."

A fellow townsman of Miss Susan?

Aya looked suspiciously at the strange person outside the door.

Miss Susan had only been in Auburnro for less than half a month.

Aya remembered Susan mentioning her hometown was at the far east.

How could someone from her hometown find her so quickly?

"Um... could you take off your hood?"

Miss Susan was rare with her black hair and black eyes.

If he was indeed a fellow townsman, he should also have black hair and black eyes.

"Of course, beautiful maid!"

Outside the door, Li Meng removed his hood.

Revealing a head that shimmered with silver light.

Aya looked speechlessly at the strange person with a silver head outside.

His entire head was like a silver ball.

No facial features could be seen.

Suspicious, very suspicious indeed!

Seeing the maid looking at him warily, Li Meng felt a bit helpless.

How should he put it, his appearance was indeed a bit strange.

In anyone's eyes, he would probably be seen as suspicious.

"Beautiful maid, I'm not a bad person."

"Bad people never say they're bad."

"Then how can I make you believe I'm not a bad person?"

Aya was taken aback.

Indeed, she had never seen this person before.

Could she judge him as a bad person just because of his attire?

Wouldn't that be a bit unfair to him?

"I... I don't know."

Though she thought this way, Aya didn't lower her guard.

The strange person outside was too suspicious.

She couldn't just let him into the mansion.

"Is Miss Susan here?"

Should she tell him?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Aya's eyes.

But in the end, she nodded.

If he truly was Miss Susan's fellow townsman.

She couldn't let Miss Susan miss the chance to meet him because of her.

"My name is Silver Mask, you can tell Susan that!"

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

Aya placed her hands on her abdomen and bowed to the strange person outside.

Then turned and walked back into the mansion.

"Master, isn't taking the initiative to contact a bit too suspicious?"

Xiao Bai's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"I never intended to hide from that girl that I have memories of time loops."

"Master knows her?"

"No, I don't!"

"Then why did Master say you're from the same hometown?"

"Because we are from the same hometown."

"Master, I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand."

"Understood!"

Before long, the mansion's door opened again.

A graceful figure hurried out.

It was Susan, or rather, Wang Yuanmei, with a look of surprise.

She ran over in a black nightgown.

"Silver Mask, is it really you?"

Susan opened the door and looked at Silver Mask in disbelief.

Even though the shiny silver head was a bit odd.

Susan didn't mind.

What she cared about was the person, Silver Mask.

Silver Mask really appeared before her.

"Of course it's me!"

The familiar voice confirmed the identity of the person in front of her.

Susan would never forget his voice.

Looking at Silver Mask, Susan's eyes welled up with tears.

Crystal-clear tears flowed from her eyes.

She was almost at her limit.

But Silver Mask's arrival gave her new hope.

Seeing the little girl crying, a hint of pity flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

Perhaps it was because they were from the same world.

Perhaps it was because of their age difference.

Even as a Goblin, Li Meng had no desire for the little girl.

In the world of Earth, though he was a bit of a recluse, he considered himself not a bad person.

He felt no sense of belonging to the humans of this world.

No matter how he treated them, Li Meng wouldn't feel any moral or ethical discomfort.

But not with the little girl; he couldn't treat her like the other beings of this world.

Taking two steps forward, Li Meng stood in front of the little girl.

He reached out with his right hand and ruffled her hair.

"Going through the Death Loop over and over must be exhausting."

Hearing this, Susan looked blankly at Silver Mask with tear-filled eyes.

Indeed, that encounter during the Death Loop was no coincidence.

"Wow!"

At this moment, the grievances in her heart made Susan burst into tears.

Her sobbing alarmed the people in the mansion.

Aya, in the outer courtyard, smiled as she watched the two at the door.

Miss Susan's reaction indicated that the strange person indeed had a deep connection with her.

Elisa and Aima came out of the mansion one after another.

"Aya, who is that..."

Elisa asked Aya outside the door with a puzzled look.

Aya turned and bowed to Princess Elisa.

"It seems Miss Susan's fellow townsman has come to visit!"

Susan's fellow townsman?

That person looked way too strange.

His attire was very peculiar.

But Susan's reaction seemed to confirm his identity.

With Li Meng's appearance, Susan's mindset changed a bit.

Noon, Bard Mansion, dining room.

At Elisa's invitation, Li Meng stayed for lunch.

At the dining table, Elisa and Susan watched Silver Mask devour the food with strange expressions.

A terrifyingly large mouth appeared on the round head.

That mouth seemed to be an abyss with endless space.

The food on the table was thrown in all at once.

"Um... Susan, your hometown people are quite unique."

Facing Elisa's curious gaze, Susan gave an awkward smile.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Her hometown people were proper humans.

Was Silver Mask really from Earth?

At this moment, Susan had some doubts about Silver Mask's identity.

Although he had a human-like figure.

His attire clearly concealed something.

And that head didn't seem like something a human could have.

"Well... my hometown people are normal, it's just that Mr. Silver Mask is a bit special!"

After all the food within reach was consumed, Li Meng finally stopped eating.

"Sorry, I haven't eaten in over a month, I was a bit hungry!"

Over a month without eating?

Everyone in the dining room looked at Li Meng with strange expressions.

Is that possible?

That's over a month; is he even human?

Li Meng, of course, wasn't human; he was a Goblin.

And he indeed hadn't eaten for over a month.

Though the Twilight Forest had many Magical Beasts.

To him, those beasts were like a buffet.

But now, his need for food wasn't as strong as when he was weaker.

Not eating for a month, or even a year, wouldn't affect him.

Cooked food was acceptable now.

Though the taste wasn't great, it was edible.
