"Susan, humans change their behavior based on what they see and hear. The future you've experienced won't remain unchanged."

Susan understood what Mr. Silver Mask meant by this.

"Don't worry, let's talk about us instead. Do you have any plans for the future?"

There was a strong aura of death emanating from Susan.

This caught Li Meng's attention.

He had only ever sensed such an aura from undead creatures.

Susan's aura was even more intense than that of the Undead Archmage.

Susan took a deep breath.

She turned to look at Elisa outside.

"Elisa's identity is not simple. She seems destined to go through a lot, and I... I want to protect her."

As she said this, Susan turned back to look at Mr. Silver Mask.

"If one day Elisa gains the power to protect herself, I want to find a way back to Earth."

Back to Earth?

Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Meng remained silent.

He had been in this world for so long.

He had never thought about returning to Earth one day.

On Earth, he had no family, nor any friends he cared about.

So, his desire to return home wasn't strong.

"If it's Mr. Silver Mask, he surely can find a way home!"

Li Meng didn't respond directly to this question.

"Alright, I should be going now. If I don't leave, I'll be kicked out!"

The Aima sisters had been watching them for a while.

Their expressions seemed to say, "Why hasn't that guy left yet?"

Li Meng stood up, intending to leave.

"Mr. Silver Mask, I... I..."

Susan, feeling a bit lost, quickly stood up as well.

The hidden assassins could appear at any moment.

At this moment, Susan was extremely frightened.

Although she didn't know how strong Mr. Silver Mask was.

But the fact that he could save them in the alley indicated that he wasn't weak.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Hearing this, Susan felt a sense of relief.

She smiled slightly and tidied her somewhat messy long dress.

"Mr. Silver Mask, let me see you off!"

Then the two left the outer courtyard one after the other.

"Sister, he's finally gone!"

Seeing the two leave the pavilion, the Aima sisters stopped practicing their swordplay.

Watching the three walk towards the outer courtyard gate, Aima frowned slightly.

Suspicious, very suspicious.

Miss Susan's fellow townsman didn't look like a good person no matter how you saw it.

That strange outfit was clearly hiding his true appearance.

Perhaps a monster was hiding under that black robe.

"Mr. Silver Mask!"

At the gate of the outer courtyard, Susan hesitated to speak.

Li Meng grinned, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

"Mr. Silver Mask, I'm not a child anymore!"

Susan blushed slightly, pouting as she glared at Li Meng.

But her body honestly accepted it.

Susan knew Mr. Silver Mask was comforting her.

Elisa, standing nearby, smiled with her lips pressed together.

It seemed Elisa got along well with her fellow townsman.

"Well then, goodbye!"

Li Meng withdrew his hand and turned to leave with large strides.

"Mr. Silver Mask, will you come again tomorrow?"

Susan called out expectantly to Mr. Silver Mask's retreating figure.

As he walked, Li Meng waved his hand.

"See you tomorrow!"

This was the clearest answer.

Mr. Silver Mask would come again tomorrow.

Hearing this, Susan smiled.

Even though she had Mr. Silver Mask's promise.

Susan didn't want Mr. Silver Mask to remain hidden in the shadows.

"Susan, let's go back!"

"Yes, let's go back!"

The two girls closed the outer courtyard gate and turned towards the mansion.

Time slowly passed, and the sun gradually set in the west.

Li Meng, leaving Bard Count's mansion, didn't look for an inn.

Instead, he slipped into an alley to observe in secret.

The humans in this world possessed great power.

And power brought chaos and evil.

The weak often disappeared without a trace before the strong.

Although Auburnro's security wasn't bad.

That was only true for ordinary people.

In the power struggles, nobles died like ants.

Even if they were killed, as long as there was no evidence, it would be left unresolved.

Thus, assassination in human power struggles became the norm.

As the sun set, darkness enveloped Auburnro.

"Why haven't they appeared?"

That night, in a room on the second floor of the mansion.

Susan stood by the window, her expression uncertain as she looked at the dark courtyard outside.

In more than twenty instances of the Death Loop, the time the assassins appeared never changed.

Only this time, the timing of the assassins' appearance changed.

The assassins should have appeared in the afternoon.

"Could it be that Mr. Silver Mask's appearance changed something?"

Could it be?

Susan didn't know. She didn't know what would happen next.

"Better not sleep tonight!"

The possibility of the assassins appearing tonight was very high.

Susan closed the window and returned to lie on the bed.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Susan tried to stay awake.

But before long, she began to feel sleepy.

Her eyes involuntarily closed.

Time slowly passed, and the night deepened.

As the lights went out, darkness enveloped the mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, in a certain room.

The girl on the bed suddenly sat up with a start.

Accompanied by heavy, rapid breathing.

"Did I fall asleep?"

Susan shook her head to clear her mind.

She got out of bed and went to the window.

Looking at the courtyard bathed in moonlight, Susan breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at the door, a hint of hesitation flashed in Susan's eyes.

In the end, she walked towards the door.

In the dark corridor, there was a soft "click."

A door was opened from the inside.

A girl in a black nightgown stepped out.

The dim and silent corridor made a hint of tension flash in Susan's eyes.

Following the route in her memory, Susan headed towards Elisa's room.

When Susan reached the door of Elisa's room in the dark.

She found the door half-open.

This made Susan's heart tighten, could it be...

Susan quickly reached out to push the door open.

At that moment, a shadow suddenly darted out from the side.

Grabbing Susan's hand.

"Who... mmph!"

Before Susan could make a sound, a hand covered her mouth.

"Susan, it's me!"

Elisa's whisper sounded in her ear.

"Come with me!"

With that, Elisa pulled Susan's hand and quickly walked down the corridor.

"Elisa, what's happening?"

Susan's tense whisper echoed in the dim corridor.

"Someone has broken into the mansion. They seem to be looking for something!"

Hearing this, Susan's face changed slightly.

The assassins had indeed appeared.

"Hehe, Princess Elisa, where are you going?"

At that moment, a woman's playful laughter came from ahead.

From the laughter, one could sense the joy and excitement.
