Kill the Black Emperor.
For the first time, Zhou Li lost his composure in public. He threw away the appointment document, ignored everyone's dissuasion, pushed Yin Jue to the ground, and asked the other party in a gloomy tone why he had such an order.
Yin Jue was not angry because of Zhou Li's disrespectful behavior. On the contrary, he stopped the people around him who wanted to control Zhou Li. He just looked at Zhou Li quietly, who was holding back his anger, and asked calmly:
"What about you? Why do you think this is?"
Yeah, what about me?
Zhou Li loosened Yin Jue's collar in a daze and sat helplessly aside, looking dazed. He knew that for the Twelve Hours, it was inevitable that the Hades Empire, an existence completely beyond their control, would be eliminated.
But···
"Why do you know?"
Lowering his head, Zhou Li looked at the lines on the marble floor and asked softly again: "Why did you know about the Hades Empire at the twelfth quarter?"
"God."
These two simple words made Zhou Li feel despair and powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. He stared blankly at the man in front of him who was smiling but not smiling. It was obvious that Yin Jue's words were sarcastic, but Zhou Li could vaguely hear the other person's overtones.
But why.
"I refuse this appointment."
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Li said these words with trembling.
"Can."
Yin Jue's answer was beyond his expectation.
He raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, but more of a warning, "Can I really refuse?"
"Can."
Yin Jue's expression was as usual, plain and kind, but also alienated from others thousands of miles away. He looked at Zhou Li, with a hint of unbearability flashing in his eyes, "Of course you have the right to refuse, as does everyone."
No one.
Suddenly, Zhou Li's brain sank as if it was struck by lightning, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning of Yin Jue's words.
You are not the only choice for Twelve Hours. Anyone in this world can be the choice for Twelve Hours.
To destroy Hades, Zhou Li only had the right to choose to participate, and had no right not to let Hades be destroyed.
Make your choice.
The splendid palace exuded a luxurious atmosphere, and the warm afternoon sunshine scattered on Zhou Li's cheeks, but he felt as if he had been in a cold cave, and his heart was filled with coldness.
No, there is still a chance.
Raising his head and looking at Yin Jue, whose expression was hidden in darkness, Zhou Li had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
It's far from over yet.
"I accept this order."
Under everyone's doubtful and worried gazes, Zhou Li took the appointment letter. His expression lost the anger just now, only a deep calmness remained, "As a brave man."
Yin Jue was speechless. Wearing a divine robe inlaid with silver patterns and a crown, he silently placed the appointment letter in Zhou Li's hand. He lowered his head and said softly without any emotion:
"The gods are watching you."
He stretched out his hand and gently placed the badge of life representing the twelve moments in Zhou Li's hand. Engraved on it are twelve stars of different colors.
The moment Zhou Li touched the badge, he felt twelve vague gazes falling on him. One of them was very stiff, and another one was intense and intense. He didn't raise his head, just closed his eyes, thinking about something.
Soon, this very abrupt authorization ceremony came to an end. Soon, Zhou Li and others left the venue. After stepping out of the gate of the Twelve-Quarter Tower, Tiya, who had been suppressing her expression, rushed to Zhou Li, grabbed his hand, squeezed it hard, and asked in a low voice. road:
"What happened? Are we going to attack you at the twelve hour mark?"
"fine."
Zhou Li looked at Tiya, whose face was full of worry. The depression in his chest was much lessened. He smiled, took a long breath and said, "It's just that some things are destined to happen. I originally wanted to escape, but in the end But I found that escaping couldn’t solve the problem at all.”
"Wow, this is chicken soup for the soul that you rarely say."
Tiya complained to Zhou Li admiringly, then she patted Zhou Li on the shoulder, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said reassuringly: "But don't worry, no matter what, I'm here."
"yes···"
Looking at the girl with a sunny smile in front of him, a trace of worry gradually emerged in Zhou Li's heart. But on the surface, he still had a faint smile, rubbed the other person's head, and said softly: "I still have you."
Soon, Zhou Li and Tiya returned to their "home". This is an ordinary two-story independent wooden house, which Tiya bought with her saved salary. Now Zhou Li and Eluma are Tiya's "tenants".
After pushing open the main door on the first floor, Zhou Li subconsciously looked at the kitchen not far away. The familiar blue-haired girl did not appear in her favorite place today. Tia took off her boots and put them aside. She walked to the dining table wearing white high socks and picked up a card.
"She went to the market to buy vegetables."
He waved the card in his hand, and there was a line of elegant handwriting on it. Tiya looked at Zhou Li, a smile flashed across her beautiful face, "Let us wait for her and don't go out to eat."
"I didn't plan to eat out."
Zhou Li muttered subconsciously, and then put his coat on the shelf nearby. He glanced sideways at Tiya, and the kitten-like girl immediately reacted, ran two steps, and handed her coat to Zhou Li respectfully.
"Excuse me."
"This memory."
Zhou Li shook his head and sighed, then skillfully placed the girl's coat on the hanger. Then he put his shoes aside and walked into the restaurant.
At this time, Tiya, who had changed into shorts and shorts, jumped into the living room. Tiya, who was wearing a single ponytail, exposed her healthy and slender legs. After saying hello to Zhou Li, she held a A popsicle ran aside and cut up the fruit.
"promise."
After cutting a whole plate of fruit, Tiya carefully placed a portion on another small blue tray, then sat cross-legged on the sofa next to Zhou Li and put the fruit aside. Then she took out a small piece of wood, spread a piece of velvet on her legs, and began to carve the piece of wood in her hand.
"By the way, Zhou Li."
After swallowing the watermelon handed to her by Zhou Li, Tiya put down the wooden carving in her hand, her mouth full, puffing out her cheeks like a hamster, and asked Zhou Li curiously: "Yinjue What exactly was written in the letter of appointment to you? Were you so excited at the time?"
"ah."
Zhou Li was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was in the twelve-moment realm. Only he and Yinjue could hear each other's words, and the others knew nothing.
Hades.
This name once again lingered in Zhou Li's mind like a nightmare. In a daze, he looked at Tia in front of him, and the girl with long orange hair appeared in his eyes.
