"it is a pity."
Kanbar slowly pushed open the door where time and dimensions intersect. He looked at Zhou Li, who was frozen in time, and his expression of shock and unwillingness, and said softly: "You failed, Shuangye."
"Why?"
Futaba was stunned. She didn't understand why she failed. He had clearly seen through the other party's hidden memories and exposed the biggest loophole in the entire situation, but according to Kanbar, all of this failed.
"You still don't understand."
Slowly walking to Zhou Li's side, looking at the imperceptible pain in the other person's confusion, Kanbar said softly: "Seeing the truth does not mean that you will accept the truth."
"In your eyes, the time from when he jumped into the dimensional gate to when he met you is less than half a day. But in his memory, he has lived in this perfect dimension for more than twenty years. These days are Everything about him, Eluma, Tia, this cabin, and the ordinary but perfect daily life, are everything to him."
Turning his head and looking into Futaba's eyes, Kanbar said calmly: "Even if you represent a relatively real dimension, agreeing with you means that he will lose everything. Therefore, Zhou Li will not accept that this is a false world. Reality."
"Why?"
Futaba stared at Kanbar blankly. There was no doubt on her face, but her voice fluctuated, "Why doesn't he accept the reality?"
"emotion."
Two extremely simple characters, but they made Futaba stay in place. For a long time, she looked at Kanbar, her voice a little jerky, "Who are you? Why did you..."
"Why would I? You know you have no emotions, right?"
Kanbar's smile was very plain, but it had a feeling that people couldn't help but stare at. He turned around, looked at the bright stars and the moon in the sky, and said with a touch of emotion: "The calm stars and the quiet Yue, it’s so rare..."
"Why?"
Futaba's original confusion and doubts completely subsided, and slowly, a completely empty look appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
It was an expression without any emotion, and could not even be called indifferent. There are no emotions, no feelings, just pure emptiness, like an abyss.
"Why do you know I have no emotions?"
"The ugly duckling can't win the trust of the duck no matter how much he disguises himself."
After saying a proverb that Futaba had never heard before, Kanbar suddenly smiled. He looked away from the stars, and then turned around. His ordinary yet slightly mysterious facial features revealed a faint expect.
"Actually, it's not like I got nothing."
With a slight smile, Kanbar didn't care at all about the other party's abyss-like temperament, but said to her in a gentle tone: "Futaba, do you feel it?"
"What do you feel?"
Futaba's inquiry was just a simple inquiry, without doubts or troubles, just calmly.
"All the emotions you show to the outside world are imitating the humans you have met. You will express specific emotions at specific times, just like a set program. But after all, these are not your emotions. .”
Gently raising his hand, a mysterious and clear rune flashed before Futaba's eyes. For some reason, Futaba seemed to see a wonderful vision in a short period of time.
It's like a kaleidoscope of the world.
"Behind you, there are four world lines. These world lines are what Zhou Li is afraid of, what he hates, and the possibility of continuous escape."
The rune opened, and a door appeared behind Futaba. Slowly walked to the door, turned sideways, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Kanbar's voice was as pure as clear water, "In every world line, there will be a Zhou Li. When we meet him, we will face countless repetitions together." The world line leading to destruction, finally. If he succeeds, the memory of that world line will return to his mind, and the real Zhou Li may change his mind."
"why me?"
Staring at each other, Futaba asked: "Why not Eluma? Why not Tia? They know Zhou Li better and can gain his trust better, why me?"
"You understand."
Shaking his head, Kanbar said softly with a bright smile: "In this world, there are only two people who can travel through dimensions at will and experience non-existent world lines."
"One is the descendant of the pioneers, the hope sent by the earth, the brave man of twelve moments, Zhou Li."
"another···"
Faint red lines gradually appeared in those originally plain black eyes. Soon, these lines gathered into countless ouroboros rings, superimposing and interfering with each other.
"Only you, His Majesty the Black Emperor."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Kambal said softly with a chaotic aura: "Aren't you going yet? 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 was probably more terrifying than she imagined. After a moment, she no longer had any hesitation. She turned around and opened the strange blue door behind her.
Looking at the back of Futaba disappearing into the door, the Ouroboros in Kanbar's eyes gradually dissipated, and his chaotic aura gradually retreated. After a long while, he looked at Zhou Li, who was standing aside with a shocked expression, and said softly: "Don't let me down."
"Variables called hope."
*********************************************
The battlefield is bloody.
"Futaba, you go first."
Eluma, wearing heavy mithril armor and holding a sacred sword, slowly unfolded her mask, revealing her beautiful face. But in this bloody and ferocious area like purgatory, this touch of beauty is like holiness in the filth, fragile and unbearable.
Wearing a black skirt and armor, Futaba calmly stared at the wave-like demon in the distance, the short sword in his hand covered in blood. After a brief silence, she shook her head and said calmly: "There is nowhere to escape."
"Yeah, there's nowhere to run."
After giving a wry smile, Zhou Li, who had already taken off his blood-stained red mage robe and put on cloth armor, slowly stood up with his staff. The magic circle representing the red flame reflected a faint light on his body. After taking a long breath, Zhou Li said softly: "I'm sorry, Shuangye."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Futaba shook his head and said calmly: "This is my own wish."
Twenty-three years have passed since the disaster broke out. Futaba, who has fought with Eluma and Zhou Li for twenty-three years, has become their best partner. Whether it is the arrogant and powerful Templar Eluma, or the blazing mage Zhou Li, who is gradually showing his powerful magical talent, they all regard this mysterious girl in black as a god's rescuer. It is a pity that even though Futaba's power is not inferior to Zhou Li and Eluma, this war still ends with the defeat of mankind.
In the last crusade, Zhou Li, Eluma and Futaba made the final impact on the Demon King's army, but everything was planned by Demon King Torea. Three years of fierce fighting caused the entire world to be engulfed by desolation, and the three Elumas were dragged into the dead space by Torrea.
"it's over."
During the last charge, Zhou Li's helpless and bitter smile appeared in Shuangye's eyes. As if he was saying something to himself, Eluma used her remaining strength to protect herself in the end.
In twenty-three years of getting along, Eluma has always been the calm and decisive paladin, but in private, she is also a gentle sister who takes care of everything. She will take care of Futaba and Zhou Li in other worlds, and help them deal with things they can't handle.
Zhou Li, from a coward who was almost frightened and ran away on the battlefield at the beginning, finally worked hard to learn fire magic, swore a sworn sworn relationship with the elemental elves, and became the most powerful blazing mage. All this was seen by Futaba. She saw the other party's efforts and the figure of the other party carefully helping Eluma.
But it's all over.
As darkness swallowed him up like a tide, Futaba knew that he had failed in this timeline. After twenty-three years of getting along, I was just an ordinary bystander and a soldier, so in the end I did not solve this world line.
When the breath completely disappeared, Futaba lost all consciousness. She is like a slipping text, leaving a faint trace on the paper called the world.
*********************
"you're awake?"
The woman wearing thin-framed glasses and a business robe held documents and books and looked at the orange-haired girl who woke up from the bed. A cold and knowledgeable voice sounded in the room, "I met you in the Black Canyon and saw that you were not conscious. Qing brought you back, are you feeling well?"
"Sister Eluma..."
Subconsciously, Futaba said the name. After hearing Futaba's words, Eluma, who was originally calm, was suddenly startled. But for some reason, after a brief silence, Eluma's expression became gentler: "Why do you know my name?"
Is there a second world line...
Futaba felt her head hurt. She was about to explain something when she suddenly saw the corners of Eluma's mouth raised slightly.
yes.
For some reason, Futaba suddenly felt a little more relaxed. Yes, even if it is another world line, another Eluma 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.
With a sigh in 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 three years until the disaster breaks out.
"We have no chance!"
At the Twelve Quarter Council, Eluma looked around at the one hundred and twenty national representatives and said angrily: "The disaster of desolation is the power of the devil. If we still let it go, sooner or later the whole world will fall into famine. The only thing we have to do now is to gather all the food together, unite all the countries, and put all the soldiers into preparation for war!"
"If we keep waiting, we will just die."
Zhou Li on the side looked solemn, "Everyone, please don't forget that the disaster we experienced once almost destroyed human civilization. Blindly waiting will only accelerate our death."
Shuangye, who was standing beside Zhou Li, was speechless. She could feel the powerlessness of Zhou Li and Eluma beside her. She witnessed with her own eyes how the two of them begged those chambers of commerce and those countries. But in the end, except for a few sporadic organizations, everyone else ignored their warnings, food was still flowing, and wars still existed among humans.
And this twelve-minute meeting also ended helplessly with all kinds of polite official words.
"Short-sighted humans..."
Gritting her teeth, a trace of despair flashed in Eluma's eyes in the room, and she murmured in a low voice: "Why don't you believe us? I'm obviously right. The disaster of desolation will definitely happen, why don't they believe me?"
"Because we can't tell anyone about rebirth at all."
After giving a wry smile, Zhou Li said helplessly: "Eluma, this is human nature. In their eyes, our goodwill is a toy that can be trampled on at will."
Eluma was silent, a kind of pain and despair spreading throughout the room. For a long time, Futaba looked at the two of them and slowly said, "I know there is a country that will help you."
Tariq.
"I don't know about Yingnan."
With his back to the three of them, the king named Herinen looked at the semicircle moon outside the window and said calmly: "But I can assure you that besides me, there is someone who will spare no effort to help you."
Two years later, the Storm Legion, the Drizzle Legion, the Ten Magnum Legions, and the Sword of the Pioneers were assembled. Under the leadership of Zhou Li and the others, the time of Torea's appearance was accurately predicted. After severely damaging Torea, the Brave Legion set out again.
Then···
"It's all defective products."
Gritting her teeth, Eluma's voice was filled with suppressed anger. She looked at the dim healing potion in her hand and said word by word: "These businessmen are crazy!"
In order to completely strangle Torrea and cradle her, the three of Eluma carried out a single-handed surprise attack. This surprise attack was extremely effective. The team of 600 men tore apart the defenses on the flanks of the Demon King's army and marched straight into Huanglong.
But at the most important joint, those low-quality supplies covered up by a layer of high-quality supplies defeated the brave army.
"It doesn't matter."
On the hospital bed, Zhou Li felt the life gradually retreating from his body. He forced a smile to Eluma and Futaba who said nothing, and said softly: "I have thought of this day for a long time."
"Eluma, Futaba, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."
Looking at Zhou Li on the hospital bed, Shuangye felt that his heart began to beat slowly and powerfully. No, her heart was beating all the time, but she always thought of it as one of her own organs. This time, she felt the bass in her heart.
Is this... pain?
Looking at Zhou Li dying in front of him again, Shuangye gently covered his heart. This time, she was sure.
The sudden things that appear in your heart are existences called emotions.
