"Why don't you trust me? Eluma!" On the carriage, the young man wearing silver armor looked confused and angry, and said angrily like a fighting bull: "Why don't you let me come to this battle? Why?! "
"You are a brave man." Facing the angry Zhou Li, a trace of hesitation flashed in Eluma's eyes, but she still said to Zhou Li in a strong tone: "This battle is very dangerous, and I can't let you risk your life." .”
"You!" Zhou Li was startled at first, then gritted his teeth, threw the long sword on the table without saying a word, turned around and left the combat center.
Futaba sat on the chair beside him and said nothing. She saw the hesitation and worry in Eluma's eyes after Zhou Li slammed the door and walked out.
Sure enough... In the last life, Futaba had vaguely noticed that Eluma seemed to carry the memory of her previous life.
Obviously everything is starting over, but as soon as Eluma arrived, preparations were started to fight against the disaster of desolation.
If Eluma hadn't taken too big a step and underestimated the evil nature of people's hearts, Eluma and Zhou Li in the previous life would have really had a chance to defeat Demon King Torea.
Thinking of this, Futaba couldn't help but start to think about why Eluma's attitude towards Zhou Li had changed greatly in this life.
You know, Eluma and Zhou Li in the previous life had absolute trust in each other. But in this life, Futaba clearly noticed that Eluma seemed to be deliberately not letting Zhou Li participate in some more important battles, as if... marginalizing him.
"Futaba, you will be my deputy in this battle." After calming down, Eluma breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Futaba beside her: "This battle is crucial. If we fail, the entire tower will be destroyed." Rick's northern territory will be paralyzed, and we will be completely undefendable."
"I understand." Futaba nodded. Although she didn't know why Eluma didn't trust Zhou Li, she believed that as long as she could defeat Torea on these world lines, she would succeed, and Zhou Li Will willingly return to reality.
Therefore, she was not prepared to mediate between Zhou Li and Eluma, but just accepted this difficult and important task.
Fortunately... Fortunately, Eluma, who was reborn with her memory preserved, still trusts herself. Her performance in the previous life should have been absolutely perfect, so Eluma found her the next day after her rebirth. Himself, invite yourself into her legion.
After leaving the command center, Futaba saw Zhou Li sitting on the rooftop not far away from his peripheral vision. As a result of the ghosts and gods, Futaba, who originally wanted to return to her room to rest, stopped by the stairs. After a moment, she slowly walked upstairs.
The iron door of the rooftop slowly opened, and the creaking sound attracted Zhou Li's attention.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Shuangye." After seeing the person clearly, Zhou Li smiled politely. Less than three years have passed in this life. In the eyes of Zhou Li in this life, Futaba is just a professional picked up by Eluma. He is taciturn, not fond of words, but powerful.
Therefore, Zhou Li, who was only a silver-level professional in this life, felt a little inferior to Futaba across from him, and his words were full of politeness and distance.
"Just call me Shuangye." Faced with Zhou Li's distant words, Shuangye felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Ever since she witnessed the deaths of Zhou Li and Eluma in her last life, she had sensed the existence of emotions.
But now Futaba is like a baby who has just seen the world, and is very confused about emotions.
She didn't know what those emotions were or why they were occurring.
"Okay." Zhou Li nodded. After sighing, he turned his head, looked at the setting sun, and asked lonely: "Shuangye, did I do a bad job?" Shuangye kneaded gently. Twisting her clothes, she didn't know how to answer Zhou Li.
For some reason, Eluma in this life did not guide Zhou Li. Therefore, Zhou Li, who had been worried about gains and losses after time travel, did not improve by leaps and bounds like in the previous two lives, but was stuck on silver.
However, there is no doubt about Zhou Li's willpower and hard work. Even though he was only at the silver level, he still participated in several dangerous assault battles, but even so, Eluma still did not fully trust him, and even further alienated Zhou Li.
No one knows why.
"You worked very hard." Futaba's comfort was a little awkward, but her tone was sincere.
"I don't know why, Lord Eluma just doesn't recognize me." Looking at his wrists and the calluses between his fingers, Zhou Li said bitterly: "No matter how hard I try, no matter how many enemies I defeat, Eluma The adults will always refuse me to go to the North and participate in the defense battle on the grounds that I am not qualified enough. I obviously want to protect everyone, but why..." At this time, Zhou Li revealed an aura of vulnerability and powerlessness, and Shuangye never I've seen him look like this.
In her impression, Zhou Li was always high-spirited, and the smile on his face always gave people a sense of peace of mind.
"Perhaps, I am not worthy of being this brave man."******************
"Zhou Li cannot be this brave man." Facing Futaba's inquiry, Eluma put down the heavy battle reports and documents in her hands, rubbed her swollen temples, and then said to Futaba in front of her: "I know what you are thinking. What, yes, Zhou Li works hard and is very talented. I can understand his desire to protect everyone, but I can't let him become this brave man."
"Why?" For the first time, Futaba understood that her emotions were confusion and confusion. Eluma was silent. She stared at the thick casualty report in her hand. Silence filled the crowded room. After a long time, Eluma sighed softly, closed her eyes, and sighed helplessly: "Zhou Libu You should bear this." After hearing this, Futaba was stunned.
"Futaba, I won't hide it from you. I can tell you that Zhou Li is not from our world." Staring into Futaba's eyes, Eluma said in a low voice: "There is no war in his hometown, and there is no crazy people." Monster, not to mention endless turmoil and destruction. Before coming to this world, he was just an ordinary and happy boy. He liked literature very much. His hands should be holding a pen and moving on paper, not in a world with him. Carrying heavy weapons in an unrelated world, he repeats the act of killing."
"He shouldn't have to bear all this, brave man, it's just a lie for twelve seconds." That's right. Why should Zhou Li save this world that has nothing to do with him?
He obviously lived an ordinary and happy life, but everything was suddenly disrupted by the so-called gods, and then he was given a meaningless title and forced to save a world that had nothing to do with him.
Yes, why.
