This brave man is a scumbag

"And after that?"

It was like having a night chat around the fire, with Zhou Li, Ying Ji, and Eluma surrounding the fire.The surrounding night could not hide the dancing firelight, reflecting Zhou Li's plain and boring face.

"The story that followed was cruel, but also very natural."

Looking at his empty wrist, Zhou Li's voice remained the same as before, without any fluctuations, but with a lingering gloom.

"I survived, and received Emperor Chong's blessing, a set of armor that gave me dazzling power."

Stretching out his hand and shaking it gently, as if he was not used to this feeling, Zhou Li laughed inexplicably and said softly: "It's a pity that the brilliance is vulnerable in front of the devil."

Torea stared at Zhou Li's cheek. For some reason, when Zhou Li told that period of history, she always felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.It was like she had experienced it herself.

"Tariq is destroyed."

Hanging his hands, Zhou Li looked at the stones at his feet and said flatly: "The devil is far more powerful and cruel than we imagined. In one day, Tariq was completely slaughtered by the devil, and not a single ten of the people were left alive. . Finally, under the cover of Tiya and the others, I escaped."

Zhou Li still remembered that in the tidal ocean of demons, the girl who had fought side by side with him and would always give him a bright smile calmly pushed him away and blocked the demons.

16 seconds.

This was the time that Tiya's death bought Zhou Li.

Then there was the eldest prince Evan, who detonated two temporary crystals and bought 24 seconds.

Lorca brought the adventurer's abilities to the extreme. He was the closest assassin to the Demon Lord Torea, and the only Tarik to die at the hands of Torea.

Then, one after another, Tariq soldiers charged forward.Some of them had fought alongside Zhou Li, and some were Zhou Li's former comrades, but most of them only knew that there was such a brave man who needed them to buy time to escape.

This battle, which could be called a massacre, ended with Zhou Li's successful escape.Thirty hours and 32 minutes, this is the time it took for Tariq, one of the once glorious four great kingdoms, to go from prosperity to destruction.

"My body almost completely collapsed at that time. My right arm and left arm were amputated, and I lost too much blood. Only three bones in my body were intact. My legs were also destroyed by neurotoxins. An unknown devil's breath destroyed my heart. It was eaten away, and the organs were severely impacted, and the internal bleeding was very serious.”

Zhou Li talked about the injuries he had suffered in an understatement.He did not say that this was what he experienced while awake, nor did he tell others that in order to ensure absolute sobriety, he cast an endless spell on himself and experienced all the pain while awake.

"This···"

Don Quixote on the side had only disbelief in his eyes. As a soldier, she had also suffered serious injuries, but she seemed so ridiculous in front of the injuries Zhou Li had suffered.

The only difference between that level of injury and death is that death brings relief, while the former only brings torture that is more painful than death.

not to mention···

Torea stared into Zhou Li's eyes, and she could see that for the man in front of her, the real injury was not the claw marks or severed limbs that brought him to the verge of death, nor the toxins that tortured his nerves.

What really made Zhou Li feel pain was the country he cared about and the people he loved. Everything fell in front of him one after another, but he was powerless.

"Is this... why you ignored Tia?"

Don Quixote's eyes on the side were complicated. Tiya had complained to her that Zhou Li rarely communicated with her. Even if she took the initiative to talk to Zhou Li, the other party would just look at him and lead him away in a hurry.

At first, Don Quixote thought Zhou Li didn't like Tiya.Now, she understood that Zhou Li would rather endure the strangeness in the eyes of his former best friend than let the tragedy happen again.

Zhou Li knew that if Tiya became friends with him again, they would definitely forge the deepest friendship like in the previous life. If such a tragedy happened again, Tiya would still step forward and sacrifice herself for Zhou Li.

"more or less."

Zhou Li smiled and shook his head. Eluma hugged his hand and said nothing. She just sat quietly beside him, guarding the young man who seemed to be at peace.

"At that time, the Three Eastern Courts were still at a time when order was falling apart."

Human Emperor Yingji smiled bitterly and shook his head. Before the time was reset, he met Zhou Li and learned everything he had experienced.But what he didn't know was that what Zhou Li said at that time was far more cruel than what he actually encountered.

"Don't blame anyone."

Taking a long breath, Zhou Li raised his head, looked at the false starry sky in the Three Eastern Courts, and said softly: "There are many people to blame, but in the end, I am the one to blame."

"If I had been stronger and worked harder, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

After saying that, Zhou Li shook his head and smiled, "Of course, these words are no different from farting, and there is no regret medicine in this world. I can't take out a drawer, go back to the past, and change everything."

Ying Ji's expression was a little complicated. He looked at Zhou Li and handed the memory he kept to him, but he didn't expect what this memory meant to Zhou Li.

"Thank you."

Zhou Li's eyes reflected Ying Ji's ghost. He knew that the Lord of the Human Court had died long ago, and he could only survive to this day by relying on his soul.And all this is to return the lost memory to himself.

And...truth. "What are your plans next?"

Taking a deep breath, Ying Ji asked.

"Does the appearance of the phantom man mean that time is approaching?"

Zhou Li did not answer, but asked another question.

"Yes."

Nodding, Ying Ji's eyes dimmed: "The appearance of the Phantom Man means that the information erosion of the Earth and Noah has become more serious, and the entropy value has approached the critical point. For Gaia, if the information of the Earth and Noah is completely invaded If this world is destroyed, it will trigger the outbreak of the Triassic Problem, and by then, all three worlds will be destroyed."

"There's no chance of a reboot, right?"

Zhou Li looked at Ying Ji and asked this question calmly.

The moment they heard this question, everyone held their breath.They understand that restarting means starting everything over again, and everything they have worked hard for will be in vain.But correspondingly, the world can still survive, and the eroded information will return.

"Yes."

Nodding, Yingji said bluntly:

"According to Zero's calculations, the world's endurance is on the verge of collapse, and Gaia's soul cannot undergo another restart. Forcing a restart will only cause the triple layer problem earlier."

"No wonder···"

Zhou Li breathed a long sigh of relief. Only then did he understand why the gods suddenly became unscrupulous. Their behavior was no longer looking for a suitable plan in exploration, but making desperate moves again and again.

Because they know that there is no chance for trial and error.Every time, it's the last time.

"The battle between Zero and Atalona should be over."

Zhou Li looked at the darkness aside. He knew that Atalona's disappearance was related to the Lord of the Immortal Court.As a primitive man, the being named One has unimaginable power.She has even found the gap between dimensions, hoping to create a space where Gaia can hide.

Of course, she failed.

It was just a new piece of paper, a piece of paper that would have caused the three stacks of problems to appear earlier, stacked on top of the Gaia book.

"Maybe, their victory is actually worthless already."

Putting his hands behind his back, Ying Ji whispered: "Zhou Li, what are you going to do?"

Once again, Ying Ji asked this question.

In a place where the gods could not see, Zhou Li found everything he was missing, and at the same time, he also found a truth.

The previous reincarnation was the only reincarnation in which she was not by her side.

She carried everything, carried all the memories, endured the pain of killing her beloved, used everything to plan, and finally got Zhou Li and Eluma in this life.

But she lost everything and was hated by herself.

"Reconcile."

When he raised his head, the long white hair was as cold as the scattered brilliance of the silver moon, but the red eyes held a softness that was unforgettable.

When Zhou Li remembered the past, Torea, who had long buried her memories in this soil, also recalled everything.

Stretching out his hand, Zhou Li looked at Eluma's delicate palm placed in his palm, then looked at Torea in front of him, and said softly:

"big boss."

With her face turned sideways, her scattered silver hair was particularly gentle.Torea stretched out her hand and gently covered their hands.

Just like at the beginning of the story, the ignorant brave man and the angel pretending to be wise rescued the white-haired girl who fell from the sky.They sat together, staring at each other, waiting for each other to speak first to break the awkwardness.

The first one to speak was Torea named Futaba.

she says.

"Master Brave."

The red eyes reflected the black pupils in the young man's eyes. The devil king in the previous life, the girl who accompanied Zhou Li in this life, said softly:

"I'm back." (End of chapter)
