This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 617 Worldlines

"it is a pity."

Kanbal slowly pushed open the door where time and dimensions intersect. He looked at Zhou Li who was frozen in time, and his astonished and unwilling expression, and said softly: "You failed, Futaba."

"why?"

Futaba was stunned, she didn't understand why she failed.I have clearly seen through the hidden memory of the other party, and revealed the biggest loophole in the whole scene, but according to Kanbal, all of this failed.

"You still don't understand."

Slowly walking to Zhou Li's side, looking at the imperceptible pain in the other's confusion, Kanbal said softly: "Seeing the truth does not mean accepting the truth."

"In your eyes, the time from when he jumped into the dimension gate to meeting you is less than half a day. But in his memory, he has lived in this perfect dimension for more than 20 years. These days are his All, Elma, Tiya, this hut, and the ordinary but perfect daily life are everything to him."

Turning his head and looking into Futaba's eyes, Kanbal said flatly: "Even if you represent a relatively real dimension, agreeing with you means that he will lose everything. Therefore, Zhou Li will not accept this is a false world Reality."

"why?"

Futaba stared blankly at Kanbal, there was no doubt on her face, but her voice fluctuated, "Why, he doesn't accept the reality?"

"emotion."

Two characters that couldn't be simpler, made Futaba sluggish in place.For a long time, she looked at Kanbal with a jerky voice, "Who are you? Why are you..."

"Why would I know you have no emotions, right?"

Kanbal's smile is very flat, but there is a feeling that people can't help but stare at him. He turned around, looked at the bright stars and moon in the sky, and said with a little emotion: "The calm stars and the quiet Moon, it's so rare..."

"why?"

Futaba's original confusion and doubts completely subsided, and slowly, a completely empty expression appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

It was an emotionless expression that couldn't even be called indifference.There is no emotion, no emotion, just pure emptiness, like an abyss.

"How do you know I have no emotions?"

"No matter how much the ugly duckling pretends, it won't win the duck's trust."

After saying a proverb that Futaba had never heard before, Kanbal suddenly smiled. He looked away from the stars, and then turned around. His ordinary and slightly mysterious facial features revealed a faint expect.

"Actually, it's not for nothing."

With a slight smile, Kanbal didn't care about the abyss-like temperament of the other party at all, but said to her in a gentle tone: "Futaba, do you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

Futaba's inquiry was just a simple inquiry, there was no doubt or trouble, just a calm inquiry.

"All the emotions you show outside are imitating, imitating the human beings you have seen. You will express certain emotions at certain times, just like programmed. But, after all, it is not your emotion .”

Gently raising her hand, a mysterious and clear rune flashed in front of Futaba's eyes. For some reason, Futaba seemed to see a strange vision in a short period of time.

It's like a kaleidoscope world.

"Behind you, there are four world lines. These world lines are what Zhou Li fears, hates, and has the possibility of escaping."

The rune opened, and a door appeared behind Futaba.Walking slowly to the door, leaning sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Kanbal's voice was as pure as clear water, "In every world line, there will be a Zhouli, and when we meet him, he will face countless repetitions together. The world line of destruction, finally. If it succeeds, the memory of that world line will return to his mind, and at this time, this real Zhou Li may change his mind."

"why me?"

Staring fixedly at each other, Futaba asked, "Why not Elma? Why not Tiya? They know Zhou Li better and can gain his trust better. Why me?"

"You understand."

Shaking his head, Kanbal said softly with a bright smile: "In this world, there are only two people who can travel through dimensions at will and experience world lines that don't exist."

"One is the offspring of the pioneers, the hope sent by the earth, the brave man of twelve quarters, Zhou Li."

"another···"

Faint red lines gradually appeared in those originally plain black eyes, and soon, these lines converged into countless Ouroboros rings, overlapping and interfering with each other.

"Only you, His Majesty the Black Emperor."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Kanbal said softly with a chaotic atmosphere: "Aren't you going? This world, no, your world is not far from destruction."

Futaba was silent, she knew that the power of the man in front of her might be even more terrifying than she imagined.After a while, she no longer had any hesitation or hesitation. She turned around and pushed open the strange blue door behind her.

Looking at the back of Futaba who disappeared in the door, the Ouroboros in Kanbal's eyes gradually dissipated, and his chaotic aura gradually receded.After a long time, he looked at Zhou Li, who had a shocked expression, and said softly, "Don't let me down."

"Variables named Hope."

********************************************
The battlefield is bloody.

"Futaba, you go first."

Wearing heavy mithril armor and holding a sacred long sword, Elma slowly unfolded her mask, revealing her pretty face.But in this bloody and ferocious area like purgatory, this beauty is like the holiness in the filth, fragile and unbearable.

Futaba, who was wearing a black skirt armor, calmly watched the demon in the distance like a sea wave, and the dagger in her hand was full of blood.After a brief silence, she shook her head and said calmly: "There is nowhere to escape."

"Yeah, there's nowhere to escape."

After a wry smile, Zhou Li, who had already taken off his blood-stained red mage robe, stood up slowly with his staff in cloth armor.After taking a long breath, Zhou Li said softly, "I'm sorry, Futaba."

"There's no need for that."

Futaba shook her head and said calmly, "This is my own wish."

Twenty-three years have passed since the disaster broke out, and Futaba, who has fought with Elma and Zhou Li for 23 years, has become their best partner.Whether it's the proud and powerful Templar Erma, or the blazing mage Zhou Li who is gradually showing powerful magical talents, they all regard this mysterious girl in black as the rescue of the gods.It's a pity that even though Futaba's power is not inferior to Zhouli and Erma, this war still ends in the defeat of human beings.

In the final crusade, Zhou Li, Elma, and Futaba made the final impact on the Demon King's army, but everything was calculated by the Demon King Torreya.After three years of fierce fighting, the whole world was engulfed by barren disaster, and the three of Elma were also dragged into the dead space by Torea.

"ended."

During the last charge, Zhou Li's helpless and bitter smile appeared in Futaba's eyes.As if he was saying something by himself, Elma also gave herself shelter with the remaining power in the end.

In the 23 years of getting along, Elma has always been the calm and decisive paladin, but in private, she is a gentle sister who cares about everything.She will take care of Futaba and Zhou Li from other worlds, and help them deal with things they cannot handle.

Zhou Li, from a coward who was almost scared to run away on the battlefield at the beginning, worked hard to learn fire magic at the end, sworn to the elemental spirit, and became the most powerful blazing mage.Futaba had a panoramic view of all these, she saw the other party's efforts, and also saw the other party's figure carefully helping Elma.

However, it's all over.

As the darkness engulfed him like a tide, Futaba knew that he had failed in this timeline. In the 23 years of getting along, I was just an ordinary bystander and a soldier, so I didn't solve this world line in the end.

When the breath completely disappeared, Futaba lost all consciousness.Like a slipping word, she left a faint trace on the paper called the world.

********************
"you're awake?"

Wearing thin-framed glasses, the woman in a business robe was holding documents and books, and looked at the orange-haired girl who woke up from the bed. A cold and knowing voice sounded in the room, "I met you in the Black Canyon, see if you are insane Qing brought you back, are you alright?"

"Sister Elma..."

Subconsciously, Futaba said the name.After hearing Futaba's words, Elma, who was originally calm, was startled suddenly, but for some reason, after a brief silence, Elma's expression was a little gentle: "Why do you know my name?"

Is there a second world line...
Futaba felt her head hurt a bit, she was just about to explain something, when she suddenly saw the corner of Erma's mouth slightly raised.

Yes.

For some reason, Futaba suddenly felt a little lighter.Yes, even if it is another world line, another Elma who has never seen herself, her essence will still not change.Just like Zhou Li, he sat aside and looked at himself, wearing a mage's robe, with a familiar smile on his face.

Still so kind.

A word of emotion flashed across his heart, Futaba imitated the smile in his memory, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly, "I'm here to help you."

There are still 3 years until the disaster erupts.

"We have no chance!"

At the Twelve-Quarter Council, Elma looked around at the 120 representatives of the surrounding countries, and said angrily: "The disaster of barrenness is the power of the devil. If we continue to let it go, sooner or later, the whole world will fall into famine. We are the only one now All that needs to be done is to gather all the food together, unite all the countries, and put all the soldiers into battle preparations!"

"If we continue to wait, we will only die."

Zhou Li on the side looked solemn, "Everyone, please don't forget that the disasters we have experienced once almost destroyed human civilization. Waiting blindly will only speed up our death."

Futaba, who was standing at Zhou Li, said nothing, but she could feel the powerlessness of Zhou Li and Elma beside her.She witnessed how the two of them pleaded with those chambers of commerce and pleaded with those countries.But in the end, except for a few sporadic organizations, everyone else dismissed their warnings, food was still in circulation, and wars still existed among human beings.

And this [-]-minute meeting ended helplessly in various polite official words.

"Short-sighted humans..."

Gritting her teeth, Elma in the room had a look of desperation in her eyes, and murmured in a low voice, "Why don't you believe us? I'm obviously right, the disaster of barrenness will definitely happen, why don't they believe me?"

"Because of things like rebirth, we can't tell the outside world at all."

After a wry smile, Zhou Li said helplessly: "Elma, this is human nature. In their eyes, our kindness is a toy that can be trampled on at will."

Elma fell silent, a kind of pain and despair spread throughout the room.After a long time, Futaba looked at the two and said slowly, "I know there is a country that will help you."

tarek.

"I don't know about Yingnan's side."

With his back to the three of them, the king named Herining looked at the half-circle moon outside the window and said calmly: "But I can assure you that besides me, there is another person who will spare no effort to help you."

Two years later, the Storm Legion, Drizzle Legion, Magnum Ten Legion, and Pioneer Sword were assembled.Under the leadership of the three of Zhou Li, the time of Torreia's appearance was accurately predicted. After severely injuring Torreia, the brave army marched again.

Then···
"It's all defective."

Gritting her teeth, Elma's voice was full of suppressed anger. She looked at the dim healing potion in her hand, and said word by word: "These merchants are crazy!"

In order to completely strangle Torreya in her cradle, the three of Elma launched a one-handed surprise attack.This time the surprise attack was very effective. The team of 600 people tore through the defense line of the Demon King's army, and smashed directly at Huanglong.

But at the most important joints, those low-quality supplies covered by a layer of high-quality supplies defeated the brave army.

"It's ok."

On the hospital bed, Zhou Li felt the gradually receding life in his body, forced a smile on Elma and the silent Futaba, and said softly, "I've thought about this day for a long time."

"Elma, Futaba, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Looking at Zhou Li on the hospital bed, Futaba felt her heart start beating slowly but powerfully.No, her heart has been beating, but she has always regarded the heart as an organ of her own.This time, she felt the bass of her heart.

Is this pain?
Seeing Zhou Li who died in front of her again, Futaba gently covered her heart.This time, she was sure.

The sudden thing that appears in my heart is the existence called emotion.
