"This brave man seems to be very tired recently."
Looking at Zhou Li's sleeping figure, Ji Sike said with great interest to Lin Ling beside him: "I have always heard outsiders describe this brave man, Lin Ling, can you describe him from your perspective? "
Before Lin Ling could speak, Ji Sike snapped his fingers, and an invisible soundproof wall appeared between the three of them. He winked at Lin Ling like an old naughty boy, and said with a sly smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty the Brave is sleeping soundly, and you can't hear anything."
"Teacher, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs."
Regarding her teacher's old naughty character, Lin Ling was a little bit dumbfounded, "Your Excellency the Brave is actually not like everyone said...well..."
For a moment, Lin Ling was in trouble. When Zhou Li was still at Magnum, her intelligence network used a word to describe Zhou Li as an "unscrupulous rebel." And when she really came into contact with Zhou Li and observed his methods up close, Lin Ling understood that her intelligence network was still a bit one-sided. Because in nearly a year of getting along with him, what Zhou Li showed her was definitely not as simple as "any means justify the means".
Zhou Li is very weird in Lin Ling's eyes, really weird. He seemed to be constantly fighting against everything he didn't like. To others, this would be called a reckless fool, a person who would capsize in the gutter sooner or later. But Zhou Li's various behaviors and his methods show that he will never capsize in the gutter, because he is the gutter.
Yes, after contacting Zhou Li, Lin Ling realized that Zhou Li was much more than what they saw. He was a coward who used his status as a warrior to make profits. On the contrary, Zhou Li used insidiousness and cunning far beyond others to fulfill the true duty of a brave man - to save.
However, Zhou Li's rescue was double-standard, as he himself admitted. He once openly stated that he hated other rich people except himself, and at the same time arrogantly shouted that "all vampires should be hung on street lamps and burned alive." And he won't do it under the guise of salvation, or in other words, he doesn't even bother to talk about salvation. Zhou Li is always frivolous, casually saving those he wants to save, but doesn't want to hear them say thank you to him.
Zhou Li seemed to regard the word "rescue" as a habit like eating and drinking. After all, no one would want to eat while others kowtow and say thank you. That would be weird. After experiencing various incidents, Zhou Li's reputation among the people has reached a terrifying level, but he doesn't care because it's useless and he doesn't intend to make money from these people.
"Instead of using unscrupulous means to describe him, I prefer to use another word to describe the brave."
Looking at her teacher, Lin Ling had a faint smile on her face. She was very satisfied with this brave man. She knew that only such a brave man could protect his friends and let Azi get what she wanted.
"hope."
Lin Ling remembered the light that rose in her heart when she first saw Zhou Li in Jordan, which was about to be destroyed. That is hope, a very distant and elusive word. But this word perfectly describes Zhou Li.
"He was the hope of a lot of people."
"Including the world."
Ji Sike was stunned. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Li not far away. It was a handsome young man, and he was wearing just an ordinary black wind-feathered coat. He has nothing to indicate his identity except for the hero's belt around his waist. But such a seemingly ordinary young man has received such high praise from his disciples.
"Stay away from him."
After a long time, Ji Sike let out a long sigh. Under the puzzled gazes of Lin Ling and Evan, this teacher who was admired by thousands of people said calmly: "He is a good man and a good brave man."
"But this world is a deformed world."
"Teacher, this..."
Evan was a little confused as to why his teacher suddenly said such dejected words. Ji Sike looked at him, as if he knew what Evan was thinking, and said unhurriedly: "Evan, if one day a brave man confronts a god, what will you do?"
This question hit Evan's heart like a lightning strike. He looked at his teacher blankly, his mind going blank for a moment. He didn't know why the teacher would say such things. How could a brave man, the darling of Twelve Hours, really have a conflict with a god?
Yes, until now, no one thought that Zhou Li would fall out with the gods. Even if Zhou Li didn't give Twelve Quarters any face on various occasions, and even if Zhou Li disobeyed the gods again and again, people still believed that Zhou Li was still Twelve Quarters' brave man. Because everyone knows that the brave cannot live without the gods, and the gods cannot live without the brave.
But now, Ji Sike said such "rebellious" words, which shocked both Lin Ling and Evan like never before. Lin Ling was also very puzzled and quickly said to Ji Sike:
"Teacher, although Zhou Li and Twelve Quarters don't get along well, and there may be some minor conflicts between the two parties, they are not directly confronting each other. Zhou Li has always been a brave man, how could he..."
"Do you know why I said that?"
"When dealing with a son who has lost control, a father will be pleased with his growth. But if it is a weapon that is out of control, even if it seems to be out of control, the weapon will be destroyed."
Ji Sike glanced at Lin Ling and said in a calm voice, "Let me ask you, who gave the brave man his power?"
"The Twelve Righteous Gods."
Evan glanced at his junior sister, and then replied: "The twelve righteous gods give power to the brave men from other worlds, so that they can become the agents of the gods to save the world, right?"
"But…"
Ji Sike closed his eyes and his voice was very soft, but it reached the ears of the two of them.
"Is Zhou Li's power really given by the gods?"
"Why not? It's exclusive to the brave and is a gift from the gods."
Lin Ling didn't quite understand what the teacher was talking about. "No matter what, Zhou Li also needs the gods, and the gods also need Zhou Li. It is absolutely impossible for them to really fight against each other."
"The power of the Black Emperor has never been in the hands of the gods."
Raising his head, Ji Sike stared at Zhou Li and Eluma, and said in a low voice, "Never, and there can be no such thing."
"How can it be?"
Evan frowned and asked in confusion: "The gods control all power in the world, including the Black Emperor."
"You just need to know that the gods cannot have the authority of the Black Emperor."
Sitting on the soft sofa, Ji Sike felt a chill. Now he was finally sure that there were no traces of gods on Zhou Li's body. The reason is simple, he is a human being.
That’s right, people.
Ji Sike had met Emperor Chong and the man who was born to be an emperor. He had also seen that the aura on that man was an extremely delicate creation. It was not a random work of a creator like human beings. Chonghuang was like an extremely delicate marble, without any loopholes, and every structure was perfect.
That is not a human being, that is a perfect body created by the gods. Inside, there is just a soul that thinks it is a human being.
As for Zhou Li in front of him, he may not even realize that his heart needs blood and his breathing is to maintain life. He didn't know that he was still a human being.
Even the gods don't know.
Gods, you let him do whatever he wants because you believe you can control him at any time, because you have always believed that Zhou Li is the soul that you stuffed into the machine, and the real control of this body rests with you. But if one day you find out that Zhou Li is a person, what should you do?
Lin Ling and Evan looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what prompted their teacher to say these terrifying words. They dare not even think about what it would be like if gods and heroes went to war. In any case, the unlucky ones must be humans, the people of the four major countries and countless small countries.
"Forget it, just think that I'm just talking nonsense."
Rubbing his eyes and shaking his head, Ji Sike returned to his previous appearance. He was no longer serious, but concentrated on enjoying the drama. But at this time, Evan and Lin Ling had no intention of watching the drama, and their minds were filled with Ji Sike's words just now.
Zhou Li...gods.
Probably, no.
Lin Ling's heart had begun to waver at this time, but she still forced herself to settle down, believing that Zhou Li would not confront the gods head-on.
As for Evan, he just buried the matter deep in his heart and planned to talk about it with his father later. At this moment, Ji Sike's voice suddenly sounded.
"do not tell anyone."
He watched the play intently, but he guessed what the two students were thinking. Ji Sike didn't look at the two of them and said, "This matter should be buried deep in my heart. This is not something you can control, or even participate in. You can't do it, and neither can Tariq."
"We understand."
Lin Ling and Evan still have 100% trust in their teachers. They nodded, indicating that they would not disclose any information to the outside world.
"My day!"
Suddenly, Zhou Li sat up straight and looked at the gorgeous stage and those beautiful girls with fear on his face. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he was still in the theater.
"woke up?"
Eluma straightened the wrinkles on her shoulders, and then whispered to Zhou Li: "It's okay, you just slept for twenty minutes. There is still an hour and a half of the play."
Zhou Li was silent. He stared blankly at the prince waving a long sword in front of him and the princess who said what are you doing, a little unbelievable for a moment.
"Only twenty minutes?"
He looked at the increasingly fierce battle, his voice filled with sorrow, "I thought a year had passed."
"Are you really so sleepy? Why do I think this drama is so good?"
Eluma tilted her head, a little confused. The drama in this world is more like a science fiction and fantasy movie than a sitcom. After all, the famous drama actor is a brilliant swordsman. The other actors are also silver-level professionals after all. Therefore, what they see now is a battle with real swords, real guns, and real flames, not special effects, and not a curtain.
At this time, the princess on the stage was holding a magic ball. The shimmering magic ball flashed among the demons transformed by the "shaper", defeating one demon monster after another. With the help of two boundary masters, the continuous bursts of light and attacks with explosive magic values were vividly displayed, full of reality.
Wait, this seems to be true.
Seeing the princess on the stage who had displayed platinum-level magic and dozens of gold-level shapers, Zhou Li became interested as if he had discovered a new continent.
Then, the drama began.
"Forget it, Don Quixote is interested in it. Even if you tell it to me, I won't understand it."
After looking around and realizing that the others were enjoying themselves and ignoring him, Zhou Li stretched out his collar and said to Eluma, "Call me when there are about ten minutes left."
Then, he fell asleep leaning on Eluma's shoulder. Eluma glanced at Zhou Li helplessly and amusedly. After controlling the black mist to cushion his head to make him more comfortable, she continued to watch the drama intently.
***********************
"Drama?"
Looking at the person who reported to him, Mr. Yin asked in surprise: "He is watching a drama now?!"
"That's right."
As an intelligence officer under Mr. Yin, Hanks nodded and repeated: "Now Zhou Li is watching the play "City in the Sky" with the emperor in the grand theater."
"What is he doing?"
Mr. Yin is stupid. Zhou Li, who just made a big fuss in the Business Church a few days ago and got involved in a lot of things, and also showed his coveting of the black market, is now watching the drama leisurely.
I stayed up for three days and nights to set up the underground black market!
"Impossible, they must be discussing how to plot a black market in the theater. Let the agents get close to them and try to get as much specific information as possible!"
After a calm analysis, Mr. Yin felt that it was impossible for Zhou Li and Herinin, two foxes, to watch a drama. He quickly gave orders to Hanks.
"According to the information, the hero doesn't like drama and is sleeping."
Looking at the communicator in his hand, Hanks answered honestly: "He sleeps very lightly, and the agents around him can't get too close."
"Don't I remember that the soundproofing of the boxes in the Grand Theater has always been poor? Do you even need my help in eavesdropping?"
After hearing what his boss said, Hanks scratched his bright head and replied helplessly: "The boxes in the Grand Theater are adjacent, and the boxes need to be reserved in advance. There are no free boxes now."
"What do you do for food? I give you hundreds of thousands of gold coins a year, but you can't even book a private room?!"
Mr. Yin was a little dumbfounded that his men missed such a good opportunity because they did not book tickets. But Hanks is also innocent and has his own reasons.
"Pope, our funding has always been lower than that of field staff, and the application for approval and review is very cumbersome. If we want to purchase a box ticket, we need to report to the Budget Department, Audit Department, Logistics Department, and Finance Department three times, and write a clear report at the same time. Prepare the content and specific matters. By the time we bought the box tickets, City in the Sky was almost flying to Magnum. Moreover, the cheapest box tickets at the Grand Theater cost 20 gold coins (about 200,000), and a field agent The monthly salary is only one gold and five silver, so I can’t afford it at all.”
