"In this weather, are there any outsiders coming to Black Lake Town?"

Old Bob heard Lillian's somewhat puzzled voice.

"Outsiders?"

Taking a step forward, the limping old Bob also walked to the window and looked at the street outside.

The muddy streets during heavy rain.

Gloomy streets under a dark sky.

A tall figure was slowly walking out from the rain.

He was a very tall man, who made people feel a little oppressive. His scattered hair was soaked by the rain, and his black suit, as if he was attending a funeral, was dripping with water, which seemed to create a more depressing atmosphere in silence.

There seemed to be another figure who was much shorter behind the man, but at this moment, Old Bob could no longer care about this problem. Because, at the same time he looked at the other person, the man also looked at where he was, as if he had discovered his peeping through the rain curtain in the distance, and just stared at him.

A stranger I had never seen before.

After six days of heavy rain, when the roads connecting the town had been destroyed by mudslides, a cloud of debris appeared at the entrance of the town on the approaching ominous seventh day.

"How did they get into the town? Did they come from the forest?"

Lillian frowned and whispered to herself with some curiosity.

Bob had already drawn the curtains, covering the entire window, and with a serious expression he pulled his granddaughter back.

"grandfather?"

The little girl was a little confused about the situation.

"Okay, stop talking."

This time, Bob did not speak in a gentle tone, but spoke to Lillian very seriously.

It's really hard to feel at ease when a strange outsider appears in the town for no apparent reason on such a weird day.

Bob believed that many townspeople must have noticed the man's appearance and noticed this stranger who had arrived in the town by some unknown means.

However, no one opened the door to welcome this mysterious person. On the day before the ominous seventh day, no matter how kind-hearted the townspeople were, they remained silent and stayed in their houses, not opening the door to welcome this stranger.

This is also understandable. After all, the mysterious figure who appeared on such a day really could not be convinced and accepted by everyone who was in a state of panic.

And why did that eye contact just now always make me feel a little creepy?

Could he really see himself in the window from a distance of dozens of meters, with the heavy rain obscuring his vision?

Could that guy be coming towards me?

Old Bob thought so and his eyes fell on the shotgun on the table.

If that guy, he really...

Tuk Tuk——

Thinking has not yet led to a complete decision.

A very polite knock on the door, neither light nor heavy, was heard outside.

Tuk Tuk——

Chapter 3: Hey~ Lin Yi?

slam-la-

The rain falls as if it will never end.

slam-la-

The strong wind was raging in my ears, the roaring and tearing sounds were echoing, and it was falling along with the heavy rain.

Open your eyes and lift your head.

What I saw was the endless raindrops hitting me under the dark sky, and the cold touch that they brought.

Where am I now?

Turning his head and looking around, Lin Yi discovered that this seemed to be a gravel path located in the mountains and forests.

The nearby mountains seemed to have collapsed, and mud and rubble completely submerged the front of the road. As the rain turned it into a mud river, it was basically impossible to pass.

Turning around again and looking to the other side of the road, hidden in the front of the rugged mountain road, between the sparse trees, it seems that you can see a distant town vaguely visible in the heavy rain.

This is...

There seemed to be something extra in my mind.

Close your eyes, feel it carefully, and you will quickly understand its meaning.

Now I have joined this so-called savior system and become a [Savior].

The reason why he came to this place was that a certain space anomaly appeared somewhere in this world. This anomaly could be two different worlds connected by a space channel, or it could be that the space itself had some abnormal distortion. But no matter which case, if it is not effectively handled, it is very likely to develop into a huge hidden danger. Even if it seems to be a very small problem at the beginning, when the scale really spreads, it is entirely possible that it will turn into a black hole that swallows up the galaxy.

And obviously, in order to solve this spatial distortion phenomenon, a civilization that has developed to a certain level can achieve it. This is not a problem that can be solved by smashing and blowing things up, but requires a civilization that has developed to the point where it can perform microscopic operations and control of the spatial structure itself.

To put it bluntly, if a civilization is not developed enough, even if it discovers the existence of this kind of space distortion phenomenon near its home, it can only watch the problem continue to expand and eventually swallow itself up. Well, if it is not able to develop before this, this will be the result.

"So, is the savior that was sent here a savior who can definitely solve the problem?"

While thinking, Lin Yi took a step and walked towards the town.

There is no reason for a rescuer who is useless in this matter to be sent here. Judging from the previous communication with the rescuer system, and considering that the other party mentioned at the end that a total of three people were sent to this mission, Lin Yi believes that in order to solve the troubles in this mission, it must be necessary for the three of them to work together, and everyone must bring out some unique abilities of their own, and it can only be achieved by working together.

After all, if there is no special reason, there should be no need to send out a savior who can be replaced at will. However, from this point of view, does the savior system also take "fault tolerance" into account? Can it be considered that this savior system is more like a kind of super artificial intelligence?

Ah, my mind is a little too open.

This seemed to be a bad habit he had always had. Whenever he was free and there was nothing important pressing on him, Lin Yi would easily fall into a state of mental chaos, thinking about a bunch of meaningless things in a mess.

It sounds like a very troublesome trait, but feeling familiar with this kind of thing makes Lin Yi feel a little bit of reality. After all, losing all memories and then joining some savior system to save the world sounds too much like the so-called game plot. It feels like living in a planned novel story, which makes people feel completely unable to feel the reality.

"Um, this gentleman..."

However, no matter what, at least the focus now is to find out where the [spatial anomaly area] is, which is the first step to complete the task.

"Hello, sir..."

In addition, it is also important to reunite with teammates. As a rookie participating in a mission for the first time, it can be said that you know nothing about anything. If you can reunite with a rescuer who has some mission experience, you can also get some useful information.

"Woo, don't ignore me, I'm here..."

At this moment, a small sound of protest finally reached my ears.

Lin Yi stopped, turned around and looked around, but saw nothing.

"Sir, if you keep doing this I'm going to get angry!"

At this moment, the voice of protest carried a hint of shame and anger.

Then Lin Yi lowered his head and saw the short girl following beside him.

Uh... is it human?

Lin Yi was a little unsure.

She was a petite girl, less than 1.4 meters tall, wearing torn clothes that seemed to be used for outdoor travel and a pair of large windproof glasses. She looked like a child who had not yet grown up.

If such features can only be described as being relatively distinctive and having personality, then the pair of fox ears on the head that stick out from the long golden hair, and the, um, one, two, three... nine somewhat messy fox tails on the back, well, these are indeed no longer features that humans can have, right?

Could this be the legendary Daji, the origin of the “I am really a fox” meme?

Didn't I lose my memory? Why can't I remember my own memories, but I can remember this weird thing all of a sudden?

"Huh, sir, you were too self-centered just now. As a savior, you should pay more attention to your teammates."

Seeing that Lin Yi finally noticed her, the petite-looking fox girl breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lin Yi a gentle smile.

"…Are you a savior too?"

Lin Yi, who was still wondering if the other party was a native of this world, showed a slightly surprised expression. Soon, he remembered that the Savior System seemed to provide them, the Saviors, with the ability to locate teammates. So after a little thought in his mind, Lin Yi found that the little girl in front of him was emitting a faint, phantom-like light, and the same was true for himself, so he could be sure that both of them were Saviors.

At the same time, a third phantom-like light can be seen appearing in the direction of the town, seemingly at a very long distance.

"Well, Lodos Island Operator Rei... no, Suzuran, I'm reporting to you, sir. Let's complete this savior mission together!"

The little girl nodded slightly, revealing a somewhat proud expression. But soon, as if she had said something wrong accidentally, the girl who called herself Lily of the Valley blushed a little, and she quickly coughed and reintroduced herself.

Rhodes Island? Operator?

It sounds familiar, have you seen it somewhere?

It seems to be somewhat related to the memory I have lost, but this is not the key issue now...

"The Savior System is actually a system that employs child labor?!"

This time Lin Yi was really shocked.

As an organization of light that saves the world, they let underage girls go into danger. Isn't there something wrong with this?

"Don't underestimate me, sir. As a savior, I have completed four missions. Although they are all missions with extremely low risk levels and I haven't yet entered higher-level missions, as a companion, I am still very reliable."

The girl said this while clenching her fists and making a seemingly powerful movement.

It was also at this time that Lin Yi noticed what the girl was holding in her hand. It was a scepter-like object that was almost as tall as the girl, with a long black metal pole and a seemingly complicated mechanical structure.

One can feel that there seems to be some kind of power flowing in this scepter.

A kind of power that not ordinary people can use.

So that's it. Is this the girl's special talent as a savior?

"So, now that I've introduced myself, sir, what's your name?"

Blinking her green eyes, the little girl looked up at the man who was a little too tall for her, and asked very seriously.

Name?

Lin Yi was silent for a moment.

Come to think of it, all I have left is my name.

"Lin Yi, um, is a rookie who is participating in a mission for the first time. He is a complete newcomer with absolutely no experience."

As Lin Yi said this, a smile gradually broke out on his face.

"So, how should I put it, Miss Linglan, sir, please take me with you."

Chapter 4: Hey~A stranger?

It feels so high.

This was Linglan’s first feeling after seeing Lin Yi.

He was obviously over 1.9 meters tall and was wearing a relatively slim-fitting suit. He didn't look like a savior, but more like an elite enemy or a level boss in a fighting game. In short, he gave off an air of being someone who was not easy to mess with.

However, the expression on his face was very peaceful, and his speech seemed quite normal. He seemed like a good person. I don't know why his personal temperament gave people a feeling that something was not right.

Well, but no matter what, since they are all saviors, they must be trustworthy companions. You just need to trust this partner and try to behave in a way that people can trust and rely on, and work hard as a senior!

The little fox girl silently cheered herself up in her heart.

"Anyway, let's go into town first. We can talk while walking on the way. This is my first time participating in a savior mission, and to be honest, I don't understand a lot of things yet."

Lin Yi said this, looked up at the heavy rain that was still roaring above his head, and took his first step.

"Yeah, okay, I will tell Mr. Lin Yi everything I know."

The little girl nodded seriously, followed Lin Yi, and walked forward together.

slam-la-

The rain seemed to become even more heavy at this moment, as if it was howling and wanted to swallow up the two figures, one big and one small.

However, for Lin Yi, this degree of heavy rain would not bring him any obvious feeling. Instead, this fox girl named Linglan, who looked like she was not even an adult, could actually move forward calmly in the heavy rain, which was a bit impressive.

Well, maybe it just looks small, but it may be thousands of years old because it is a monster.

As the old saying goes, you are born only seventeen years old, and one year of chaos is one year. That's probably it.

Huh? Was I just complaining about someone I met before? I felt like I just felt some deep malice.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and soon, Lin Yi began to focus on what the girl was explaining.
