This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 236 My Hero

"When did you find out?"

Regarding Zhou Li's sudden questioning, "Elma" didn't panic at all. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with great interest, "Is it a black light?"

"Earlier."

Zhou Li stretched out his hand, and a black mist emerged from "Elma's" silk-like black hair, and slowly fell into Zhou Li's hand.He looked at the surprised "Elma", turned his right hand, and the black mist instantly returned to Elma's body, which caught her off guard.

"Do you really think that the Gospels can reach Elma?"

Zhou Li didn't show any emotion at this time, he just looked at "Elma" calmly, and his voice didn't fluctuate, "The connection between her and me can't be severed, as early as that rotten princess novel The moment the mutation happened, I already sensed it."

"Then why do you..."

Elma looked at Zhou Li, a hint of puzzlement flashed in her eyes.Zhou Li stood up, put aside the list he had just written, and raised his head with sullen eyes, "Do you think Elma can be fooled by the Gospel's few words?"

"She is aware of your existence, so she chooses to let you appear!"

!

Elma's red lips parted slightly, and an incredulous expression gradually appeared on her face.Her eyes were gradually occupied by confusion, and her hands unconsciously pinched the black skirt.

"Ah."

After a long time, Elma laughed at herself, sighed softly, and asked softly, "That's why you love her so much, isn't it?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Glancing at Alma in front of him, Zhou Li suppressed the sense of disobedience in his heart, and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Vaguely, Zhou Li felt a very contradictory temperament from the "Elma" in front of him.The Elma in front of her is as charming and elegant as a black cat, her eyes are full of slyness, which is quite different from the real Elma's temperament.

What concerned Zhou Li the most was that he could feel that the "Elma" in front of him seemed to have something very similar to himself.

"I'm Elma."

Staring into Zhou Li's eyes, "Elma" had a faint smile on her cheek, and said softly, "But, I am not the Elma of this life."

"This life?"

Zhou Li frowned. He attached great importance to the matter of rebirth. He was afraid of being noticed by the gods, so he dared not tell Elma the whole story, for fear that the gods would notice.It can be said that in this world, there will never be a second person who knows about rebirth except for the brave man on his waist.

"Your Elma is missing half of her soul, isn't she?"

Faced with Elma's question, Zhou Li suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and replied: "Yes, she lacks half of her soul."

Seeing Zhou Li with a pensive look in front of her, Elma pursed her red lips, sighed and said wistfully, "This is the price."

"The price of rebirth."

"and many more…"

When he heard this answer that he had never imagined, Zhou Li suddenly raised his head in astonishment, his pupils dilated, full of disbelief.

Almost instantly, he understood the meaning of the five words "price of rebirth" in front of him.

"For the first time, the disaster of barrenness."

A black light appeared in front of Zhou Li, and he didn't have any resistance, because what the black light showed him were two familiar figures.

In the picture, Elma, who is wearing the heavy armor of the blue knight, holds a long sword, and her handsome and heroic face is full of chills.Beside her is Zhou Li, who is wearing a gray robe and holding a staff. However, Zhou Li in the picture has no expression on his face, and his eyes are full of indifference.

"No. 20 three years after the disaster broke out, the Templar Knight Elma and the Blazing Mage Zhou Li carried out the last crusade against the Demon King. After three years of fierce fighting, 12 soldiers were wiped out, and 80.00% of the land was swallowed up by the barren disaster Afterwards, the Demon King dragged Elma and Zhou Li into the dead space. In the end, the three died of exhaustion because they hadn't had water for a year."

In the black light, in a world with nothing but barrenness, three skeletons were deeply reflected in Zhou Li's eyes.He felt dizzy, and there was a hunger in his belly that he had never felt before.His teeth chattered slightly, and the throbbing in the depths of his soul reminded him that all of this had happened.

"The second time, I lost to Qian."

Black light flickered, and the bones and dead space disappeared, replaced by Elma in heavy armor and Zhou Li holding a staff.But this time, they didn't fight, but seemed to be reprimanding something loudly in a conference room-like room.

"After rebirth, Elma decided to hoard food first, so she and Zhou Li began to lobby chambers of commerce and major countries in the mainland, hoping that they could unite to fight against the coming famine."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Li immediately knew what would happen next.Sure enough, after a bitter laugh, Elma said in a low tone:
"However, Elma has forgotten that human life is short and fragile. People who have truly faced the horror of disasters have either grown old or died in the midst of disasters. Those who controlled the world at that time had never experienced disasters. bad people."

There was a flash of anger in his eyes, but more of helplessness.As if feeling sad for herself, Elma closed her eyes, and the black light engulfed the two people in the picture.

"After learning about the imminent famine, only a few merchants chose to help Elma and Zhou Li. More chambers of commerce and countries chose to purchase food in large quantities for hoarding. Ai, who did not understand the means of money, After the Demon King was born, Li Ma and Zhou Li quickly assembled an army to resist the Demon King."

"Elma, who had the experience of the previous life, quickly grasped the weakness of the devil. When she and Zhou Li led the guards to surprise the devil, they never thought that the food, grass and medicine they carried were being withheld and exploited layer by layer. Below, all are defective products.”

"In the end, mage Zhou Li died of a wound infection. Elma fought alone, and was finally outnumbered and died."

The picture was broken, Zhou Li shuddered, he thought of the hypocritical face of the businessman, and the greedy eyes of those short-sighted people.

"The third time, you and I broke up."

Speaking of this, "Elma" obviously flashed a hint of hesitation on her face, but she switched the black light as if nothing had happened, and continued: "Omit the front."

???

The originally serious heart froze, and Zhou Li's expression reflected his emotions.Elma coughed twice, trying to get away with it: "The second time I found out that you had contact with the devil Torea, I thought you had defected to the devil in the end, and I was suspicious in the third life, and finally broke with you. At the end of the third life, you broke into the Demon King’s camp alone in order to save me, and you were beheaded by the Demon King in the end, so I realized that I was being sowed.”

Although Elma tried her best to make her tone more relaxed and humorous, Zhou Li could still hear the deep self-blame and pain in her voice.He saw that Elma's hands hidden behind the skirt had already been clenched tightly, trembling all the time.

"The fourth time, that's me."

When talking about herself, Elma in front of her bent her chest, lifted her skirt slightly, and saluted gracefully.The corners of Elma's mouth curled up, revealing a sly and smart smile.

"Because of me, everyone betrayed their relatives."

***************************************
When the long sword entwined with demon energy pierced Elma's lower abdomen, everything returned to silence.

Then, everything started to flow backwards.

In the darkness, Elma opened her eyes, clutching her chest and gasping for breath.The suspicion of Zhou Li caused the two to be separated and broken, and the remorse and self-blame after finally learning the truth made Elma tremble uncontrollably.Her mind was in chaos, and even thinking became a luxury.

A moment later, with the flash of the summoning light, Zhou Li walked out of the door in a daze, and walked in front of Alma.

Seeing the familiar boy and the familiar reaction in front of her, Elma finally pulled herself away from the endless despair.Staring at Zhou Li's immature face, Elma suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and made a promise from the bottom of her heart.

I will take on everything.

Elma, who trusted others in her previous life and harmed herself and Zhou Li because of kindness, came to this world.Then, according to the memory of her previous life, she found the inheritance of the Black Emperor.

Elma, who is a demigod, has integrated the Black Emperor into her body. This time, she no longer has goodwill towards the world. She has completely integrated into the power of the Black Emperor, and has become the "" whom the whole world fears." The Black Queen".

In this life, Elma, through the absolute conquest of the Black Emperor and the support of the Twelve Quarters, quickly included most of the countries and forces in her hands.This time, except for Zhou Li, Elma would not trust anyone anymore, she began to become unscrupulous, and began to use everything to prepare for the subsequent war.

At this time, Zhou Li, as the only person Elma trusted, was worried because of Elma's tyranny and desperate preparations for war.In the end, worries turned into disputes. Because of Elma's overprotection, Zhou Li's strength was not strong this time, so the Demon King seized the opportunity of the quarrel between the two, and severely damaged Zhou Li's soul with one blow.

Seeing that her lover's soul was broken and nearly died, Elma, who had no healing power at all, was furious. She immediately issued an order to all the countries, ordering them to treat Zhou Li who was on the verge of death.At this moment, the Demon King's army suddenly retreated without any sound.

Because of Elma's previous tyranny and disregard of people's livelihood in preparing for war, she is just a tyrannical monarch in the hearts of the people and countries.Although Zhou Li is not strong, but because of his righteous character and gentle attitude, he has become the mediator between Elma and others.

When Zhou Li was seriously injured and fell into a coma, the person who reconciled the relationship between Elma and other people was gone. At this time, the resentment and anger that had been accumulated for many years in various countries and forces suddenly broke out, and a liquidation began to rush towards Elma's royal city.

Just after the armies of various countries surrounded Elma's royal city and declared that she was the real Demon King, the Demon King army came.

Without any effort, the armies of various countries were defeated one by one. They still firmly believed that Elma was the real devil in their confusion, and they were swallowed by the devil in the end.At this time, Mr. Mu Qi found Zhou Li and helped him heal his soul injury. Unfortunately, it was too late.

The royal city collapsed, and Elma died in Zhou Li's arms.She still remembered what Zhou Li said to herself with a smile at the moment when she and Zhou Li were shrouded in the light of annihilation.

"Darkness is not for you, you deserve the love of the world."

***********************************
When the picture dissipated to reveal Elma's face, Zhou Li fell silent.

"Before...you were the one who was reborn, right?"

After a long time, Zhou Li said with a hoarse voice, "You are the one who keeps the memory, right?"

"Ah."

Elma nodded slightly, and said softly: "Every time I die, I will deprive me of the emotions and consciousness of my previous life, leaving only memories. And everyone except me will lose their memories."

"Then why, it was me in the end?"

Facing Zhou Li's question, Elma smiled.She looked at Zhou Li, her eyes bent into two crescents.

"At the final death, I met with the other Elma."

Facing the slightly puzzled Zhou Li, Elma explained: "It was only then that I knew that I was a unique existence. When death came, my consciousness was connected with the consciousness of several other Elmas. It was only then that I realized that the price of my rebirth was emotion, consciousness, and a little soul."

"In the final discussions, the four of us came to a decision."

Zhou Li seemed to understand something, his expression was a little gloomy, on the contrary, Elma said slowly with a touch of joy and relief:
"We will give up all our memories, abilities, consciousness, and half of our souls. In exchange for a young man named Zhou Li to enter this reincarnation."

The voice fell, and the whole house fell into silence.Zhou Li's mood at this time was extremely complicated, with mixed feelings.It was difficult for him to describe the emotions deep in his heart at this moment. When "Elma" said this sentence, all past doubts were shattered by reality.

"Because we realized that all of Elma's powers were bestowed by the gods. She was controlled by the gods in the sky since she was a child, and she couldn't escape the prison of this cycle of reincarnation."

Elma spoke again, Zhou Li heard four different emotions and souls gathered in the body of the girl in front of her.Elma looked at Zhou Li with relief in her eyes.

"We discovered the trap of the gods, and we also discovered the imprisonment set in your body. We know that we cannot break through the cage of the gods, and we also know that the world is always in their hands."

"However, we did not despair. Because we will never forget that during this trip to another world, there is still a person who accompanied me, guarded me from beginning to end, and finally believed in me."

A smile lingered on Elma's face, she walked slowly in front of Zhou Li, stretched out her hand, hugged Zhou Li, and tiptoed gently.

"We decided to give up everything and create a flawless Elma to accompany you to break through the cage. We have always believed that if someone can save Elma from the cage and free the world from the control of the gods, then , he can only be you."

At this moment, different colors appeared in Elma's eyes, the solemnity of a knight, the expectation of a girl, the guilty gaze, and the deep love and affection.

"My hero."
