The system was silent for a few seconds.

[So what?]

Liu Quan was so shocked by this answer that all his blood coagulated in an instant, and his body felt cold and stiff from head to heel.

She repeated the answer and laughed angrily.

[He shouldn't be here!!His world is that peaceful, tennis-only world!! it's dangerous here-]

The system bacteria said in a cold tone: "Well, who knows. ...... Maybe it's because the original author of this fandom wanted to write a synthetic fandom?]

Liu Quan was so angry that his hair stood on end.

For the first time in her mind, she ignored the authority of the system bacteria and shouted loudly.

[If you put it all together, it should be one story at a time!!!Put all the characters in the story into a dangerous world...... This kind of thing is whimsical at all!!And what's the point of putting him in this world?!Which person in this world can have anything to do with him?!Or did the great and wise author think that she could let Lily attack a boy twenty-four years younger than herself?!]

The system was silent for a moment.

【...... You're not as easy to get rid of now as you were back then. It said slowly in a very strange tone, "That's right. You're right. This may not have been the original author's idea. 】

【...... Something is wrong with the world, big problem. Now, maybe even I can't completely control where it goes......]

[At the earliest, the Mary Sue in this fandom, that is, Lily Evans, was opened with a very huge golden finger, and the plot of the same people itself changed the original plot almost beyond recognition, so after extracting it and [beep-] out, the rules of this world cannot be maintained until you finish repairing the world, and there is irreversible chaos......]

[Coupled with the fact that the players before you have made some changes to the world, but have not done all the work, the world has become more and more dangerous and unpredictable.] 】

So, it erodes the surrounding fandom.】 】

[The trace Keigo you see now is not the person you saw in the same world in the novice village.] 】

[He's a completely different one.、Keigo from another fanworld.] 】

[Even if you have a high degree of kindness and affection for the Keigo Kibe you met in the novice village, it doesn't mean that this child is the boy you will miss. 】

[He will not become the boy you miss in the future.] He's a completely different person. It can be said that he is the twin brother of the "Keigo Trace". They are two people. Don't confuse them. 】

[You must know that if you save this important person who has been illegally absorbed by this world from other worlds, it will have an unknown and huge impact on the rules of the operation of this world, which is already very fragile. Whether it will hurt or correct, whether it will lead to the complete collapse of this world, you don't know, and I don't know. 】

[Even so, do you plan to abandon your strategy progress, which has gone fairly smoothly so far, and free up your hands to save him from the unknown?!]

Liu Quan gasped in surprise.

At this time, perhaps from his point of view, the strange woman had been unusually silent for too long, and the young man coughed, and spoke out with a little awkwardness and alertness.

“...... Hey, are you alright?"

Willow Springs: !!

Almost immediately, she realized that she had spent so much time arguing with the system's brain—and now she wasn't even sure what was going on in the park they had fled!

She immediately shook her head and turned her head to look directly at the young boy with soft brown hair that looked up close.

"Thanks, I'm fine. What about you?"

The boy moved his body and limbs awkwardly, and then squeezed out a short sentence.

“...... I'm fine. ”

Then, he was silent for a moment, and said with a reluctant look: "...... Thank you for saving me. ”

Liu Quan's eyes widened unexpectedly, stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing again.

The young man seemed to be immediately annoyed by the laughter of the strange Englishwoman. He stared at the pair of extremely beautiful big eyes, and his cheeks, which were already round because the baby fat had not yet faded, also bulged slightly because of anger.

"Why...... You saved me from those gangsters, and I have to thank you for that, it's the most basic etiquette......"

Liu Quan barely held back a smile, but his eyes were shining because of this, looking directly at his bun face that had not yet faded from his childish atmosphere, and his eyebrows and eyes softened a lot.

"I'm sorry. She apologized cheerfully, and looked him up and down earnestly. "You're not hurt, are you?

The juvenile trail seems to feel even more awkward. He turned his face aside decisively.

“...... Not really. You've come just in time...... However, my friends who play with me are ......"

He choked. As if the shocking, painful, and memorable dark experience just now was still haunting him, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed, and he was silent for a long time before he whispered, "...... Can they still be saved?"

Liu Quan thought of Siris for a moment, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.

Although he was confident in Siris's combat power, he couldn't solve the two enemies for him and ran away directly with the little boy in the tracks, although it was a critical moment at the time, but I still felt a little guilty in hindsight.

She sighed softly and replied frankly, "I'll go back to see the situation when I send you home later." ...... I promise, I'll do my best to help them...... There are other people on our side who will rush to rescue them as soon as possible......"

The young boy raised his eyes and stared at her face quietly for a minute.

Then, he suddenly stood up on the ground and slapped himself with dust and grass clippings a few times—the same as Liu Quan's subconscious movements just now.

At first, Liu Quan was still sitting on the lawn, just quietly watching the movements of the little boy in the traces.

The face, and the movement, and even the figure—slowly ended up with the twenty-year-old young man on the lawn facing the riverbank for the last time they met.

At this moment, they are also sitting on a lawn facing the river. Not far in front of them, a small river in the sun flowed through the trees, sparkling, and the shade of the trees cast a dark green coolness. As far as the eye can see, a large chimney stands out in the sky.

No one came in the field. Willow Springs recognizes this place, a secret base that Snape used to play in Snape's memories of the movie as children.

This sufficiently remote and desolate place finally made the young master of the trace department frown. He finished beating the ashes on his body, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the big chimney. Everything here is enough to show that this is not a noble residential area to which he is accustomed, but a residential area of the common people of the city. He took a deep breath and turned his gaze back to the strange Englishwoman who had just saved him.

"Ahem...... This place, it's so not gorgeous. He seemed to be trying to find something to break the embarrassing silence, but as soon as he spoke, his mantra popped up again.

Liu Quan wanted to laugh a little again, and hurriedly bit his lower lip to hold back the smile.

However, the young man's "insight into vision" trick had probably begun to bear fruit, and he keenly caught the smile that flashed at the corner of her lips, and raised his eyebrows in annoyance.

Liu Quan hurriedly stood up as well, and used that action to hide the smile that had accidentally leaked from his face. When she stood up straight again, she returned to the so-called "calm and calm of an adult".

"Where do you live? I'll send you back. She said briefly, determined not to let untimely emotions rule her.

The little boy's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at her hesitantly, but he didn't answer for a while.

Liu Quan sighed slightly.

"I have no ill will towards you. She said gently, trying to look like a credible adult.

"What happened to you today is dangerous, please believe that I am here to save you. ”

She paused, accentuated her tone, as if she had made up her mind, and said again.

"I will definitely save you. ”

The little boy was slightly moved, and immediately armed himself with that alert demeanor.

"So, tell me, who are they there today, what are they doing to my friends, and I hear you clearly—you call my name at me, and my body flies straight at you!"

He straightened his back, and his round face showed a stubborn and serious look.

"Answer my questions, and I'll trust you. ”

Liu Quan: ......!!

After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and replied in a low voice, "...... Sorry, I can't tell you. ”

Like the last time we met, I know a lot of things. However, I can't tell you a thing.

I can only cherish the sorrow, the secrets, the memories...... Passing by you, moving on, never stopping.

She looked deeply at the young boy in front of her, who looked to be only about ten years old.

He has short blond hair. It's not the same as the purple black she remembers.

Maybe it's the discrepancy in the personality.

But the tear mole under his right eye remained the same.

For a moment, she almost reached out to touch the top of his head, ruffling the short soft hair.

However, the future King of the Ice Emperor must not like to be treated like this.

Unforeseen tears suddenly rushed into her eyes.

"I know you. Because I heard about ...... You're playing tennis well. It was as if she were going to use all her strength to say these words, and she swallowed the hard lump in her throat with great difficulty.

"In the UK, it's a ...... for a foreign-faced child to show his talent and get noticed in this sport Some kind of news, right?" She tried to make up her lies, "I don't know how surprised I was to see that you were a victim when I was there today......"

Perhaps because she mentioned the sport he was good at, and appropriately praised his talent, the expression on the young man's face loosened slightly.

"So, I have to save you for anything. ”

Even if the consequences must be borne by her.

"I hope you can keep winning and climb to the top of tennis—"

...... Because she had said to him that in that case, even anywhere in the world, she could see—

"Now, I have to rush back to help your friends. So, please cooperate with me and let me send you home first. There's no way I'm going to leave you here alone, can I?" she gestured to him with a slight spread of her hands, the banks of the creek that seemed to have been swept by no one for a long time, and the huge chimney in the distance.

"As you can see, this is an area inhabited by civilians...... Not for your stay. And I doubt your driver will be able to find it at all...... After all, it's a corner of the city. She said half-jokingly.

There were still traces of suspicion in the big eyes of the young man, but as Liu Quan said, she did not show the slightest malice towards him, and saved him, as a seemingly reliable adult, it was a logical proposal to send a lonely child like him home. So he grimaced and gave an address.

Liu Quan didn't waste a minute before he immediately grabbed his arm and apparitioned again.

They landed in a residential area that looked much better than the civilian area of Cockworth. Every house here looks worth at least three streets of Cockworth.

When the young boy nodded to her, gave her a goodbye-like look, and then walked up the steps in front of one of the large houses, Liu Quan gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed one of his arms, and forcibly dragged him back in front of him.
