This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 696 Rashomon

The expeditionary force set off.

This is an expedition filled with all kinds of dirty thoughts and weird behaviors, and it is also the most unique expedition in all history.

In the expeditionary force, Zhou Li was the only one.

Those who sent him were the twelve righteous gods.

And his mission is only one.

massacre.

In the entire history of Gaia Continent, there has never been a single brave man who went to an unknown place under the guidance of the twelve righteous gods to carry out a massacre.

There has never been and there cannot be.

Therefore, there was no publicity for this expedition, and no one knew why Zhou Li disappeared in the Fortress of Unfalling overnight.No one knew where he was going or what he was going to do.

Even Elma didn't get an answer.

"He didn't tell you either, did he?"

Gently holding Eluma's hand, Tia looked disappointed and asked softly: "He didn't tell anyone."

"Ah."

Elma nodded, although she didn't show sadness or disappointment, Tiya who had been together for so long could easily hear her worry.

"Can we help him?"

Tia suppressed the trembling in her heart. She leaned against Eluma and listened to the familiar heartbeat. Her voice was choked with sobs. "What happened to him that even we can't help him?"

Elma pursed her lips, stroked Tiya's hair gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Zhou Li will not do things that are not sure, trust him."

Tiya didn't speak, she just felt Elma's embrace, but Zhou Li's last words to them last night appeared in her mind.

"sorry."

He said.

"Sorry if I did something wrong."

There were no words of comfort, nor farewell, he just stood quietly by the door, looking at Tiya and Erma who were whispering in the room.

The light at that time was very soft, as if the whole room was covered with a light yellow plush blanket.Zhou Li stood on the floor next to the blanket, with a look of fear, but more of a sense of relief.

That night, Zhou Li left.He didn't hide the sound of his footsteps, but, as always, he left the house and the small house with gentle movements.

Then came the news of the expedition.

As the only person who heard the news, Tiya, who had lost her mind, rushed out of her camp and stumbled to find Elma.And when she looked at the envelope next to Elma, Tiya knew that this matter was far beyond their imagination.

Zhou Li has never hidden anything from Elma, or in other words, they don't need to hide from each other at all.Elma and Zhou Li are like a piece of rough jade that is calm and broken, there is me in you, and you in me.In some words, they don't even need to tell each other to understand each other's mind.

This kind of tacit understanding is amazing, even Elma and Zhou Li can't tell why.Sometimes Tiya is also a little envious, envious of this kind of connection.

But this time, she felt sad for Elma.

If this matter was just dangerous, then Zhou Li would not leave without saying anything, leaving himself and Elma sad.But if Zhou Li even needs to hide this matter from Elma, then the only way to prove...
Zhou Li's expedition has overturned everyone's perception.

He was afraid, not because he was afraid of failure, but because he was afraid of implicating himself and Elma.

Holding the carved stone pendant around her chest with both hands, a small Tiya sat on the stone, staring at the starry sky.

"It's here."

Bai Qin looked at Zhou Li beside him with complicated eyes. He was wearing the armor of a brave man, holding a sword in his right hand and a string of ordinary stone amulets in his left hand.She frowned slightly and said worriedly:
"Would you like to wait a little longer, just in case..."

"Thank you, Baiqin."

Zhou Li, who was sitting on the stone, did not raise his head, but looked at the stone in his hand intently.Fingers across some rough marks, looking at the stone pendant engraved with his outline, Zhou Li said calmly:
"Next, I will trouble you."

Baiqin stopped talking, and there was a complicated look in her eyes.As one of the popes of twelve quarters, she has no reason or room to refuse the mission of the gods.She must open the door to Hades with her own hands, and push her friend into the abyss that he cannot bear the most.

Close your eyes and try your best to perceive the magic energy around you.With a helpless sigh, Baiqin stretched out his hand and lightly touched the surrounding air.

Call ~
The gentle sound of wind blowing on Zhou Li's cheeks, he raised his head, and a dark "door" appeared in front of him.Zhou Li said nothing, stood up, and walked to the door without hesitation.

"Don't resist... my magic."

This time, Baiqin lowered her head, her petite body looked extraordinarily weak.She suppressed her sadness, and said with a trembling voice: "I will, protect you well."

When that broad and powerful palm covered Bai Qin's head, Bai Qin froze.She raised her head, Zhou Li's warm smile appeared in her eyes.

"it does not matter."

Seeing Bai Qin who was always like a younger sister, Zhou Li shook his head and said softly, "This is my choice."

"Thank you."

Bai Qin stared blankly at Zhou Li, feeling the warmth from the young man.After a long time, she blinked her eyes, pursed her mouth, and a gleam of crystal glittered in the corner of her eyes.She stretched out her hand, hugged Zhou Li, sobbed and said:

"You must come back, no matter what, everyone will be waiting for you."

Zhou Li gently stroked Bai Qin's long hair, and then the two separated. He smiled at Bai Qin, turned around, and walked into the door calmly.

Familiar dizziness, and that weird feeling.Accompanied by a burst of dizziness, Zhou Li's eyes were gradually shrouded in darkness, and countless incomprehensible words appeared in his mind, but they were fleeting.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Li felt the crown of the holy tree around his waist begin to release a faint softness, and a clear feeling swept over his body.After a while, he stood up slowly, and the strength returned to his body.

Fortunately.

Feeling the gradually abundant strength in his body, Zhou Li heaved a sigh of relief.

Holy tree crown... not bad.

He looked into the distance, he was on a cliff, and under his feet was the brightly lit Hades Empire.Zhou Li stared at the city that haunted him in his dreams, and a touch of softness gradually appeared in his eyes.

I am coming.

【Well done, Baiqin】

Baiqin breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the gate of elements gradually closing.At the same time, the voice from the gods sounded slowly.

She was stunned, and then quickly drew the symbol of the God of Elements on her chest, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and said, "My lord, listen to your teachings."

【Do not】

The mysterious and divine voice sounded again, 【I am not qualified to teach you, I don't even have the courage to entrust you with this task, Baiqin, you are more decisive than I imagined】

"what?"

Baiqin was stunned, and then said suspiciously: "Opening the Elemental Gate of the Hades Empire... is this task difficult?"

[Gate of Elements? 】

The god seemed surprised for a moment, and then he understood everything.

【well···】

A faint sigh resounded in his mind, Bai Qin suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned pale.Trembling, she asked in disbelief:

"My lord, what is that door?!"

The God of Elements didn't answer, or rather, he didn't know how to answer, and told Bai Qin this cruel fact.

That's not the elemental gate to Hades' empire.

【That is... Rashomon】

【He will die, but the holy tree crown will save him, and then...】

【Control him】
