"When did you discover it?"
"Eluma" didn't have any panic at Zhou Li's sudden question. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with interest: "Is it the black light?"
"Earlier."
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, and a black mist emerged from "Eluma"'s black hair as smooth as satin, and slowly fell into Zhou Li's hand. He looked at the surprised "Eluma" and flipped his right hand. The black mist instantly returned to Eluma's body, which caught her off guard.
"Do you really think that the Gospels can reach Eluma?"
At this time, Zhou Li didn't show any emotions. He just looked at "Eluma" calmly, his voice had no fluctuation, "The connection between her and me cannot be cut off. It happened as early as that terrible princess." The moment the change occurred, I had already sensed it.”
"Then why did you..."
Eluma looked at Zhou Li with a trace of confusion in her eyes. Zhou Li stood up, put aside the list he had just written, raised his head, with a little sullenness in his eyes, "Do you think Eluma can be deceived by a few words in the Gospel?"
"She was aware of your existence and chose to let you appear!"
!
Eluma's red lips were slightly opened, and an incredible look gradually appeared on her face. Her eyes were gradually filled with confusion, and her hands unconsciously held the hem of her black skirt.
"Ah."
After a long time, Eluma laughed to herself. She sighed softly and asked softly: "This is the reason why you love her so much, right?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Glancing at Eluma in front of him, Zhou Li suppressed the sense of disobedience in his heart and asked, "Who are you?"
Vaguely, Zhou Li felt a very contradictory temperament from the "Eluma" in front of him. The Eluma in front of her was as charming and elegant as a black cat, with a pair of eyes full of cunning agility, which was very different from the real Eluma's temperament.
What concerned Zhou Li most was that he could feel that the "Eluma" in front of him seemed to have something very similar to himself.
"I'm Eluma."
Staring into Zhou Li's eyes, "Eluma" had a faint smile on her cheek and said softly, "But, I am not the Eluma of this life."
"This life?"
Zhou Li frowned. He attached great importance to the matter of rebirth. He was afraid that the gods would notice Ni Duan and he did not dare to tell Eluma everything for fear that the gods would notice. It can be said that in this world, apart from the brave man on his waist, there will never be another person who knows about rebirth.
"Your Eluma is missing half of her soul, right?"
Facing Eluma's question, Zhou Li suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and replied: "Yes, she is missing half of her soul."
Looking at Zhou Li with a pensive look in front of him, Eluma pursed her red lips, sighed and said sadly: "This is the price."
"The price of rebirth."
"etc…"
When he heard this answer that he had never imagined, Zhou Li immediately raised his head in shock, his pupils dilated, full of disbelief.
Almost instantly, he understood the meaning of the five words "Eluma" in front of him.
"The first time, the disaster of desolation."
Black light appeared in front of Zhou Li, and he did not resist at all, because what the black light showed him were two familiar figures.
In the picture, Eluma, wearing a blue knight's heavy armor, is holding a long sword, and her handsome and heroic face is filled with a look of solemnity. Next to her is Zhou Li, who is wearing a gray robe and holding a staff. However, Zhou Li's face in the picture is expressionless, and his eyes are full of indifference.
"In the twenty-third year after the disaster broke out, the Templar Eluma and the blazing mage Zhou Li launched their final crusade against the Demon King. After three years of fierce fighting, all 120,000 soldiers were wiped out, and 80% of the land was destroyed. After being engulfed by the disaster of desolation, the Demon King dragged Eluma and Zhou Li into the dead space. In the end, the three of them died of exhaustion because they had not had water or rice for a year."
In the black light, in a world filled with nothing but desolation, 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 deep in his soul reminded him that all of this had happened.
"The second time, I lost to money."
The black light flashed, and the bones and the dead space disappeared, replaced by Eluma still wearing heavy armor and Zhou Li holding a staff. But this time, they did not fight, but seemed to be shouting something in a conference room-like room.
"After rebirth, Eluma 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 famine that would come later."
When he heard this sentence, Zhou Li immediately knew what would happen next. As expected, after a bitter laugh, Eluma said in a low tone:
"However, Eluma forgot that human life is short and fragile. Those who have truly faced the horror of disasters have either grown old or died in disasters. And those who controlled the world at that time had never experienced disasters. People of misfortune."
There was a flash of anger in his eyes, but more of helplessness. Eluma seemed to feel sad for herself, closing her eyes, and the black light engulfed the two people in the picture.
"After learning about the horrific famine that was about to come, only a few businessmen chose to help Eluma and Zhou Li. More chambers of commerce and countries chose to purchase grains for hoarding. Ai, who did not understand the means of money, After the devil was born, Li Ma and Zhou Li quickly gathered their troops to resist the devil."
"Eluma, who had the experience in her previous life, quickly caught the Demon King's weakness. Just when she and Zhou Li led their guards to surprise the Demon King, they never expected that the food, grass, and medicines they carried were being withheld and exploited at all levels. Below, all are defective products.”
"In the end, Master Zhou Li died of wound infection. Eluma fought alone, and was finally outnumbered and died."
The picture shattered, and Zhou Li shuddered. He thought of the hypocritical faces of businessmen and the greedy eyes of those short-sighted people.
"The third time, you and I break up."
Having said this, a trace of hesitation clearly flashed across "Eluma's" face, but she switched the black light as if nothing had happened and continued: "Omit the first part."
? ? ?
Gu Qi
Zhou Li's originally very solemn heart froze, and Zhou Li's hiccup expression reflected his emotions. Eluma coughed twice, trying to get away with it: "The second time, I found out that you had been in contact with the Demon King Tolea, and thought that you had finally defected to the Demon King. In the third life, I was suspicious, and finally broke up with you. But after At the end of the third life, you broke into the Demon King's camp alone to save me, and were finally killed by the Demon King. Only then did I realize that I was being instigated."
Although Eluma tried hard to make her tone lighter and more humorous, Zhou Li could still hear the deep self-blame and pain in her voice. He saw that Eluma's hands hidden behind her skirt were already clenched and trembling.
"The fourth time, that's me."
When talking about herself, Eluma in front of her caressed her chest and bent down, raised her skirt slightly, and bowed gracefully. Eluma raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sly and smart smile.
"Because of me, everyone has rebelled against their relatives."
***************************************
When the long sword entwined with demonic energy pierced Eluma's abdomen, everything returned to silence.
Then everything started to flow backwards.
In the darkness, Eluma opened her eyes, clutching her chest and gasping for air. The suspicion of Zhou Li led to the two being separated and defeated. The regret and self-blame after finally learning the truth made Eluma unable to stop trembling. Her brain was in chaos, and even thinking was a luxury.
A moment later, with the flash of the calling light, Zhou Li walked out of the door in a daze and walked to Eluma.
When she saw the familiar boy in front of her and his familiar reaction, Eluma finally pulled herself away from the endless despair. Staring at Zhou Li's childish face, Eluma suppressed the throbbing in her heart and made a promise in her heart.
I will bear everything.
Eluma, who was gullible in others and harmed herself and Zhou Li because of her kindness in her previous life, came to this world. Then, based on the memory of her previous life, she found the Black Emperor's inheritance.
The demigod Eluma integrated the Black Emperor into her body. This time, she no longer had good intentions towards the world. She completely integrated into the authority of the Black Emperor and became the "person" feared by the whole world. Black Queen".
In this life, Eluma quickly captured most of the countries and forces in her hands through the Black Emperor's absolute conquest and the support of the Twelve Hours. This time, Eluma would not trust anyone except Zhou Li. She began to become unscrupulous and used everything to prepare for the subsequent war.
At this time, Zhou Li was the only person Eluma trusted, but he became worried because of Eluma's cruelty and desperate preparations for war. In the end, worries turned into disputes. Because of Eluma's over-protection, Zhou Li was not strong this time, so the Demon King seized the opportunity of the two to quarrel and severely damaged Zhou Li's soul with one blow.
Seeing that her lover's soul was broken, almost dead, and completely incapable of healing, Eluma was furious. She immediately issued an order to all 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 making any sound.
Because of Eluma's previous tyranny and disregard for people's livelihood in preparing for war, she is just a tyrannical monarch in the hearts of people and countries. Although Zhou Li is not strong, his righteous character and gentle attitude make him a mediator between Eluma and others.
When Zhou Li was seriously injured and fell into coma, the person who reconciled the relationship between Eluma and others was no longer there. At this time, the resentment and anger that had been accumulated for many years among various countries and forces suddenly broke out, and a liquidation began to rush towards Eluma's royal city.
Just after the armies of various countries surrounded Eluma's royal city and declared that she was the real Demon King, the Demon King's army arrived.
Effortlessly, the armies of various countries were defeated one by one. In their confusion, they still believed that Eluma was the real devil, and were finally swallowed by the devil. At this time, Mr. Elumamuqi found Zhou Li and helped him heal his soul injury. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The royal city collapsed and Eluma died in Zhou Li's arms. She still remembered what Zhou Li said to her with a smile when she and Zhou Li were enveloped in the light of annihilation.
"Darkness is not for you. You deserve the love of the world."
*************************************
When the picture disappeared and Eluma's face was revealed, Zhou Li fell silent.
"Before...it was you who was reborn, right?"
After a long time, Zhou Li spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "You are the one who retains the memory, right?"
"Um."
Eluma nodded slightly and said softly: "Every time I die, I will be deprived 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?"
Faced with Zhou Li's inquiry, Eluma smiled. She looked at Zhou Li, her eyes curved into two crescents.
"At the time of my final death, I met the other Eluma."
Facing Zhou Li, who was slightly confused, Eluma explained: "At that time, I realized that I was a unique existence. When death came, my consciousness and that of several other Elumas were connected. Together. Only then did I realize that the price for my rebirth was emotion, consciousness, and a little soul."
"In the final discussion, the four of us made a decision."
Zhou Li seemed to understand something, his expression was a little gloomy. On the contrary, Eluma 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 entering this reincarnation."
As soon as the words fell, the whole house fell into silence. Zhou Li's mood at this time was extremely complicated, with mixed emotions. It was difficult for him to describe the emotions deep in his heart at this time. When "Eluma" said these words, all past doubts were shattered by reality.
"Because we realized that all of Eluma's powers were given by the gods. She has been controlled by the gods in the sky since she was a child, and there is no way to escape the prison of this reincarnation."
Eluma spoke again, and Zhou Li heard four different emotions and souls, gathered in the body of the girl in front of him. Eluma looked at Zhou Li, her eyes filled with relief.
"We discovered the trap of the gods and the imprisonment set in your body. We know that we cannot break through the cage of the gods, and we also understand that the world is always in their hands."
"However, we do not despair. Because we have never forgotten that during this journey to a different world, there was someone who accompanied me, protected me, and in the end, believed in me."
A smile lingered on Eluma's face. She walked slowly to Zhou Li, stretched out her hand, hugged Zhou Li, and gently stood up on tiptoes.
"We decided to give up everything and create a flawless Eluma to accompany you to break out of the cage. We believe from beginning to end that if someone can save Eluma from the cage and free this world from the control of the gods, then , he can only be you."
At this moment, different colors appeared in Eluma's eyes, the knight's dignity, the girl's expectation, the guilty gaze, and the deep love and affection.
"My brave man."
