I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

The village seemed peaceful, at least from a distance. An hour wouldn't be enough for him to convince the entire village to flee, but that should be enough time for him to find the white-haired man, right?

Although the timeline was rubbing against each other the whole time last time, Natsuki Subaru also knew that this was due to the fixation thrown to him by Yimi. If there was a slight mistake with this unstable thing, he would die inexplicably, but he had no way to kill the other party.

Without worrying about alerting the enemy, Natsuki Subaru grabbed a young man carrying a rice bag and asked, "Have you seen a young man with white hair?"

The young man shook his head: "White hair? Only old men in the village have white hair, right?"

Natsuki Subaru also noticed that the young man had a metal pendant around his neck that gave him a sense of déjà vu. In fact, it was just something that could be bought at a roadside stall. It was so inconspicuous that even if he spent the whole day with the young man, he might not think of this thing when recalling his appearance.

But Natsuki Subaru had some impression of the burned man. At that time, his body was covered in blood and the burns were extensive. His clothes must have been burned away long ago. The only recognizable thing was this thing.

Natsuki Subaru quickly changed the subject: "Do you know a girl with blue hair? She has long hair and is very beautiful."

He was talking about the appearance of the victim girl.

"Miss Shaman? What do you want from her?"

The young man looked at Natsuki Subaru warily.

This look is just like looking at a love rival.

"Ah...some questions about her business."

Natsuki Subaru remembers that people in this world start working at a very young age.

Hearing his words, the young man relaxed his guard a little: "Do you need to buy some cloth?"

"Ah... yes, although it may be a little urgent, it would be best if we could discuss it before dark."

"Just now I remembered Miss Shaman said she wanted to go to the woods over there to pick some flowers for her sister's birthday. It's something she could do during the day, but she only thought of it at night..."

"Thank you!"

Natsuki Subaru ran in the direction he pointed.

That Regulus's target is this girl. Since we can't find where Regulus is in this world, we might as well go directly to find his target.

The woods are a little distance away from the village. When the village caught fire in the previous timeline, it seemed that the fire did not reach here. Because I did not calculate the distance well, I did not go back to find Otto. When I came here, it was already getting dark, and the green shade above my head made it look even darker.

Natsuki Subaru used the dim light of his mobile phone screen, feeling the stiffness in his body, and walked here carefully.

On the trees, one can see a barrier similar to the one used to isolate monsters in the village of Roswaal's territory, but how is it possible to find a person in such a big forest?

But he really found the shadow of a person, or to be exact, the shadow of a group of people.

There seemed to be about a dozen people, maybe even more. Each of them was a good-looking girl. All of them stood in the open space with expressionless faces, waiting for something motionlessly.

Seeing such a strange scene, Natsuki Subaru was a little dazed, but he was too conspicuous in the darkness with his mobile phone in hand, and it was hard not to notice him.

The girls who saw him didn't react at all, which made Natsuki Subaru even more frightened.

"Good evening, I'm looking for a lady with blue hair."

Feeling stiffness in his body, Natsuki Subaru simply took the initiative to walk out and greet them.

There was indeed a girl with blue hair among them, but she was not the one Natsuki Subaru was looking for.

Natsuki Subaru changed the question: "What are you doing here?"

Still no one answered. The two girls who were closer to him even walked away from him, which made Natsuki Subaru feel a little hurt.

Does he really stink?

"Then, did you see a man with white hair? He was wearing a white..."

"Don't ask any more questions. If you talk to another man, he will kill you."

A girl who looked a little older responded to him.

"Killed? By whom?"

Natsuki Subaru looked around nervously.

"The man you are talking about, we are his wife."

The girl answered again, even though she had just said that she would be killed.

Moreover, the others did not seem to have any reaction to her "snitching" behavior.

"We just met him last week, but he says he's our husband."

Because Regulus had disappeared, his wives all forgot about him and the fear he had brought to them.

But in terms of 'erasing existence', if the person being erased is someone who occupies all of the other person, then that person will also fall into a deep shock, as if a huge hole has been dug in their heart.

Unfortunately, for all the wives Regulus robbed, he simply killed everyone around them, so he could fill the rest of their lives with fear. Even if their existence was erased, it was very easy to quickly re-establish their previous relationships in a desperate way.

"Wife? So, that guy did say he wanted that girl to be his wife."

Natsuki Subaru crossed his arms, perhaps because he had almost vented all his frustrations in the last timeline, he thought seriously for once: "There are so many people here, even for something like this, he still brought you here, wouldn't it be inconvenient for him?"

Even a madman from the Witch Church should have a certain logic in doing things. That guy is obviously impotent, but he still captures so many girls as wives and takes them around everywhere. Maybe his ability is related to this.

Considering the way Regulus found his wife and his behavior of wanting to kill the other person for a single action, Natsuki Subaru could more or less understand the position of these girls at this time.

"What exactly is that guy's ability?"

"..."

"He must have needed you here for something, right? If you know this, you should be able to find a way to kill him..."

No one responded. Not to mention the relationship between them, whether Regulus would let the girls know his weakness, they were not willing to trust Natsuki Subaru, a stranger, as they only had a week's memory of him but became numb in an instant.

As wives, they should trust their husbands more. They do have such a "trust" relationship with Regulus, a "trust" that makes them firmly believe that they will not be saved due to overwhelming violence and deep-rooted despair.

Obviously, it is impossible to communicate with them through language alone.

"Kill? Ah, that's good too! Killing others to advance, you're very diligent! Very good! Love! Life!"

The madman's words appeared from behind Natsuki Subaru, giving him goose bumps all over his body, and his legs almost gave out and he sat down on the ground.

This green-haired guy, did he appear here from the beginning?

Or was it that he saw me as I hurried over, and that there was indeed some foul smell on me that could attract the Witch Church? Speaking of which, every Sin Archbishop I met was curious about me.

Natsuki Subaru glared at this guy with gritted teeth.

It is impossible to communicate with a madman, but there is only one thing he knows, that is, it is always right to strike first!

He raised his fist and rushed towards Petelgeuse, but as he watched, a group of dark hands spread out from behind the other party and grabbed him before he could react.

In the previous timeline, Natsuki Subaru clearly remembered that an invisible force twisted his limbs and neck, which was the main reason why he felt a little afraid of this voice.

Invisible Hand, Petelgeuse? It sounds like the "Giant Hand" in the constellation. Doesn't the "Invisible Hand" correspond to this person's abilities?

Because his name comes from a constellation, Natsuki Subaru has quite a lot of knowledge in this area.

Correspondingly, the name of Regulus corresponds to Regulus in Leo, which the ancient Arabs called "Lion's Heart".

……

……

"Dolly, didn't you go to deliver someone? How come you even lost your car?"

Death has returned once again.

"vomit!"

Natsuki Subaru was shaking all over and lying on the ground vomiting his lunch.

"Hey bro, are you okay?"

The uncle at the fruit stall patted him on the back and showed concern.

This time, Natsuki Subaru's death was still very painful, with his neck broken, but it was actually easier than last time.

However, the new discovery before his death made him feel better.

After giving a brief perfunctory greeting to the uncle at the fruit stall, he ran towards Otto as quickly as possible.

……

"Sorry, Otto, could you wait here for me for a moment?"

With experience, this time I saved more time and skipped the process of asking for directions and headed straight for the woods. But going earlier didn't seem to be a good thing.

"you are?"

Regulus had not yet left his wives, staring at Natsuki Subaru with interest.

This is not the only troublesome thing.

If he hadn't been pinned down now, Natsuki Subaru would have been sweating profusely, because he saw the green-haired madman in the woods also coming out, making him face two Archbishops of Sin right from the start.

"Is this feeling arrogance? Or greed? It's really funny, and it's quite arousing!"

There’s that sentence again.

But Natsuki Subaru was a little confused before. They were all from the Witch Cult, but Petelgeuse didn't seem to recognize Regulus, and he kept saying that he was also a Sin Archbishop...

He used the side effects of the fixation to keep his face stiff, forcing a fake but not easily broken smile. He took out the Book of Wisdom that Imi had given him, and introduced himself to Petelgeuse before Regulus could.

"I am the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, symbolizing greed—Natsuki Subaru!"

Regulus: "?"

36

Chapter 36: Crush his heart!

"Who gave you the guts to pirate my copy?"

It was another simple waving motion, and the wind pressure that Natsuki Subaru was familiar with had no effect on him, but the scattered airflow directly cut down a large number of trees.

Maybe even God couldn't stand such a bad guy, because when facing Regulus, Natsuki Subaru's fixation never failed.

Natsuki Subaru also laughed angrily: "How dare you say that? I haven't even settled the score with you for forcing me to kneel down, you weakling!"

Just like before, he took advantage of Regulus's lack of reaction and knocked him down directly, with such success that even Natsuki Subaru himself felt incredible.

By the way, this guy is actually the weakest among the Archbishops of Sin, right?

"I can't believe that a giant baby like you would dare to attack the person I love!"

Even though he knew that he could not harm Regulus, Natsuki Subaru still punched him. After dying twice, he finally learned his lesson. He shouted "my love" deliberately, and of course it was a cry of true emotion, in order to follow Petelgeuse's train of thought.

"like?"

Petelgeuse scratched his face, almost peeling off a layer of skin with his nails, and twisted his body: "Love! What a cruel love!"

Although it was very strange, our brain waves just matched inexplicably.

"What are you going on about, you idiot? Can't you see that I'm the one who's greedy? This guy is infringing on my copyright!"

Regulus angrily scolds Petelgeuse.

Natsuki Subaru pressed his face and knocked the back of his head against the ground: "Greed, if you say that, my possessiveness of Emilia these past few days must have made her want to vomit, right? Isn't the Archbishop of Greed's ability in me?"

Regulus: "You're even copying my authority? Where did you come from, you ugly idiot? You keep infringing on my authority—"

The wives watched all this at a loss, not daring to move forward or retreat.

Petelgeuse glanced at Regulus with his unusual eyes, then lowered his head to look at the words revealed in the gospel in his hand. His already crazy brain began to think normally for once.

He did not recognize this person because his existence was erased.

He looked at Natsuki Subaru again, the person whose brain waves had just matched his, the emotions expressed did not seem fake, and there was also a "Gospel".

Petelgeuse glanced at Regulus again, because the Gospel had just told him that greed would not hurt, but in fact, because it was too dark, Subaru Natsuki himself did not notice that there were a series of teeth marks on Regulus's hand.

Petelgeuse looked at Natsuki Subaru, the man whose brain waves could match his, and then at Regulus, the man who had just been scolding him.

He made strange movements, bent sideways and said to Regulus on the ground: "You are arrogant, right?"

Isn't it arrogance to insist that you are greedy and deceive yourself?

Regulus was furious when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I told that woman a long time ago that you are an idiot. Giving you the Witch of Laziness Factor is like feeding it to a dog!"

He tried hard to push Natsuki Subaru away a little, and waved his hand to hit Petelgeuse, but he didn't expect that Natsuki Subaru's strength was even greater than he imagined. Most of the airflow was blocked by Natsuki Subaru, so that the remaining airflow only reached the trees beside Petelgeuse.

"Ahhh—how cruel! Treachery kills diligence. You are also lazy! Is this a trial? Are you the vessel of the trial?"

Petelgeuse bit his fingers, and with his invisible hands he pinned Regulus to the ground and trampled on him, but he could not inflict any more damage on him.

Regulus glared at Petelgeuse with a fierce look in his eyes. "It was just like that a hundred years ago. You're violating my authority once again—ugly mole. You think you're a big shot just because I gave you a little face!"
