In the darkness of the night, everyone seemed to see the illusion for that moment—that there were burning stars falling in the sky, evolving into a shattered brilliance.

The icy light of burning light accompanied by a crisp wailing sound swept through the air and dissipated without a trace.

It was as if time had stopped again at this moment, and everything had fallen into a brief stillness until the faint cracking sound spread.

In an instant, the rain curtain shattered, and a terrifying gap appeared like a sharp blade, and a thin but coherent crack emerged from the void for a moment and disappeared without a trace.

Alchemical armament. The giant sword 'Slayer', let out a crumbling wail, and as the alchemy circuit shattered, it turned into a heavy piece of iron and fell apart.

And just as Quinn's angry and hideous face was faced, a blood-colored crack spread, piercing a look of despair and disbelief.

The momentum of the impact quietly stopped, and the steeled body collapsed, turned into two, and fell from the sky.

Finally, it crashed above the frozen sea, making an eardrum-tingling thumping sound, and the icy rain splashed on his wreckage, splashing and shattering.

The world was silent, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the young man who was looking down indifferently, their expressions stiffened at that moment, and their pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly, not understanding what had just happened.

I can't believe what happened.

The third-stage ability who did not hesitate to burn himself to the end was like this...... He's dead?

What the hell is going on?!

Uncle Yun, who was the closest, and therefore witnessed the whole process, looked at Zhou Li's cold expression blankly, and finally remembered what had just happened after a long time.

At that moment, all his ability could read was 'betrayal'.

He never imagined that he would one day be able to read such information from his trusted teammates, and a trace of unconcealable anger appeared in his purple eyes.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he commanded in a low voice: "Land!" ”

Taking off the microphone from his collar, Uncle Yun said coldly: "Disarm Zhu Sheng, and if you dare to resist, capture it on the spot." ”

In the long silence, everyone seemed to understand something, and raised their heads to look into the air.

It was only at this time that Zhu Sheng realized that everyone looked at him differently. The look was cold and angry, complicated enough to make him desperate.

Wu Jiangshan finally woke up from his sluggishness, and after hearing Uncle Yun's order, he finally understood what had happened in a short moment, and fell into a long silence.

Trying to suppress his angry expression, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he still didn't want to believe all this.

The face that used to be kind and peaceful had turned iron blue at the moment, and he stood on the surface of the sea, raising his head to look at Zhu Sheng who was helpless in the sky. The torrential rain poured down on his face, blurring his expression, except that the sound coming from his throat was hoarse that he had not imagined.

"Zhu Sheng, you come down."

Zhu Sheng was silent in everyone's sight, and after a long time, he slowly landed on the 'ground', put away his bat wings, looked at Wu Jiangshan's outstretched palm, hesitated for a moment, and then untied the weapon from his waist and handed it to him.

Wu Jiangshan indifferently took the weapon, threw it on the 'ground' casually, just looked at Zhu Sheng, and asked coldly, "Do you remember what I told you?" ”

"Brother Jiangshan, listen to my explanation......"

Syllable!

The angry slap interrupted his snorting defense, and also made Zhu Sheng take two steps back, fall to the 'ground', and look at Wu Jiangshan in disbelief through the thick rain curtain, who was completely unable to suppress his anger.

"I've told you a few times! Personal emotions, don't bring them to the task! Are you deaf?! ”

Everyone didn't expect him to be so angry in his heart, Wu Jiangshan pushed away the Xie Ku who was holding him, and roared at Zhu Sheng, who was sluggish on the ground: "I brought you on your first mission back then, I thought you were a good seedling...... How did I tell you? Why didn't I see it back then, you Zhu Sheng is so capable! You've learned to sell your teammates, right? ”

He pulled Zhu Sheng up from the ground, pulled him by the collar, and shouted at Zhu Sheng, who looked panicked: "Come, aren't you dissatisfied?" Tell me! Let me see what you learned from Chen Nanchao! ”

Zhu Sheng's eyes flashed with resoluteness, and he suddenly interrupted his words: "It's not about Brother Nanchao, it's up to me to decide......"

"Of course it's none of his business." Wu Jiangshan sneered: "Do you believe that Chen Nanchao knew what you did today and chopped you with his own hands?" ”

"What Brother Nan Chao does with me is his business, I just look down on him, what's wrong?"

Zhu Sheng roared at everyone frantically, pointing at Zhou Li, who was leisurely looking around on the frozen sea not far away, and finally stopped hiding the hatred in his heart: "What qualifications does he have to rob Brother Nanchao?!" Why! Just rely on Uncle Yun's words?! I'm not convinced! ”

"You ......" Wu Jiangshan's expression trembled, and the irrepressible anger caused the rain that fell on him to evaporate and rise from the furious rage, turning into white steam.

Suddenly kicked the machine gun to Zhu Sheng's feet, Wu Jiangshan controlled the ring of flames around him that was about to break through the shackles, and roared hoarsely: "Today I am the team leader, you don't obey the leader, okay, it's okay." I'll beat you until you serve! ”

He took a step forward and looked furious: "Pick up the things, let me see how much you have grown today!" ”

Zhu Sheng looked down at the weapon under his feet and was silent and did not speak.

"Give me a little bit of a stop, what has it become."

Uncle Yun's voice sounded from behind them, and Uncle Yun, who stepped forward slowly, grabbed in front of Wu Jiangshan, looked at the scarlet fire on his body, and said in a low voice, "Put it away, I haven't said anything yet." ”

Wu Jiangshan silently took a step back and put away the flames on his body.

Uncle Yun looked at Zhu Sheng, who was bowing his head in the rainstorm, in silence, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Usually, how do you solve the problem of betraying your teammates?" ”

Wu Jiangshan's shoulders trembled, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and after a long time, he replied hoarsely: "On the spot, shoot ......"

"I know you're doing it for his good, but people don't accept your affection."

Uncle Yun slowly pulled out the black pistol from the holster on his waist, pulled the bolt with some difficulty, and heard the sound of bullets advancing into the chamber.

"Then let's do it."

He said in a low voice, and walked towards Zhu Sheng, who was silent in the rain.

"Uncle Yun, Zhu Sheng, he's just confused for a while, he's just ......"

Zhu Sheng's friend Meng Bi stood in front of Uncle Yun, explained in a panic, and turned his head to look at the silent Zhu Sheng: "Say something!" Explain clearly, Uncle Yun won't do that......"

He shook the silent Zhu Sheng, but he couldn't get an answer, and in the end he could only cast his pleading eyes to Zhou Li, who looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance.

"Zhou Li, you can say something! Zhou Li, please, persuade Uncle Yun......" Meng Bi pleaded in a low voice: "I will compensate you for him, whatever you want." ”

Uncle Yun's progress stopped, and he silently turned his head to look at Zhou Li, waiting for his choice.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Li slowly withdrew his gaze from the dark sky, tilted his head to look at the farce behind him, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why, it's always like this?" ”

"It's always been like this since I was a child."

Zhou Li looked at everyone, showed a puzzled look, and asked seriously, "I'm obviously the victim, right?" So why do you have to ask me to forgive him? For me, it's a matter of life and death, but for you, can it be solved just by talking about it? ”

Meng Bi's expression suddenly stiffened, and her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to say.

The icy torrential rain sprinkled on everyone, but they felt the chill and anger emanating from Zhou Li's words that made the torrential rain almost freeze.

Looking at the silent Meng Bi, Zhou Li smiled in a low voice,

"If I forgive him, do you promise that there won't be a next time? No, you can't, if you can stop him, this time it won't happen. If I promised you, would I have such good luck next time? Is it okay that I almost died just now?

Maybe I'm just an insignificant supernumerary to you. You have begged me so disgraced, if I don't agree to you, I just don't know the general situation and don't understand the rules.

Even if you don't say that, I'm afraid there will be people who think so in their hearts, right?

Sacrificed my life to fulfill your friendship...... That's unreasonable, isn't it? ”

Zhou Li stopped, looked around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Meng Bi's face: "So, how do you want me to answer you?" ”

A few words made everyone fall into a silence with nothing to say, Meng Bi pursed her lips, and wanted to open her mouth several times but didn't know how to say it.

Zhou Li has no obligation to forgive the other party, he doesn't owe Zhu Sheng anything, but Zhu Sheng has been provocative everywhere from the beginning, looking for trouble with Zhou Li, and even doing that kind of thing in the end.

Zhou Li has never been a bad guy who sacrificed me to become a big guy, and he also looked down on that kind of guy the most. He has always calculated the grievances very clearly, and if there is a mistake, he will report it in the slightest.

Laughing at each other? The kind of deception to children Zhou Li didn't believe it when he was three years old.

In the silence, Zhu Sheng suddenly made a hoarse voice: "Meng Bi, don't beg him." ”

Without hiding the resentment and hatred in his eyes, he looked at Zhou Li and said, "This kind of life earned by relying on the prayers of friends, don't do it." I just look at him upset, and see his expression that has nothing to do with me to be an eyesore. He's right, I'm going to kill him next time......"

At the end, he let out a hoarse roar: "Why can he be a supernumerary to compete with Brother Nanchao?" I'm not convinced! I won't accept it if I kill it! ”

Facing Zhu Sheng's resentful eyes, Zhou Li suddenly laughed in a low voice: "What does it have to do with me if you are not convinced?" And which onion is your so-called Brother Nanchao? Sorry, I still haven't quite figured it out. ”

He slowly walked in front of Uncle Yun, pressed the pistol he raised, and asked with a smile, "There should be other solutions, right?" ”

Uncle Yun glanced at him, sighed after a long time, and looked very old in the rainstorm: "Yes, according to the usual duel, the two sides will divide life and death......"

"That's a good idea." Zhou Li nodded and smiled: "I like it." ”

Hearing him say this, Meng Bi's eyes lit up, and then instantly dimmed - how could Zhu Sheng be able to instantly kill the person who had tried his best and risked his life.

"Phew!" Zhu Sheng spit on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm: "You want to kill me with your own hands?" Think beautifully. ”

"Are you scared?" Zhou Li turned his head to look at the angry Zhu Sheng, and sneered: "Since you are so afraid, then I am empty-handed, do you dare?" ”

As soon as Zhou Li's words fell, Uncle Yun and Wu Jiangshan suddenly changed color, but Zhu Sheng sneered:

"Hey, you're looking for ...... death"
