"Why are you here?" Qian Li frowned, looked at Chu Zihang distractedly, and his face was full of disapproval.

Chu Zihang approached her: "Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to protect us?" ”

"Huh?" Qian Li's eyes were glazed: "No." ”

Chu Zihang was also stunned.

Could he be wrong?

"I don't need to die." Qianli blinked: "I haven't lived enough." ”

"Then why did you come here on your own?" Chu Zihang asked.

Qianli was silent for a moment.

How should she tell the person in front of her, this time she came back only because she didn't find what she was looking for just now, and she was thinking that when Deadpool was blown up by those explosives, she would see if she could blow up the secret room and look for anyone who wasn't here.

After all, Genji Heavy Industries is so big, and the most secret things must be hidden in this layer.

The other party's means of isolating perception are very high, and she has no way to know the precise location, so she has to try her luck.

She wanted to speak, and she stopped, and she stopped.

Never mind......

I guess I don't have anything to do with that thing.

"Let's go back." Qianli said.

However, when these words fell, she noticed that the snake man who was knocked down behind them did not completely lose his mobility, but staggered up from the fire, raised his long knife in both hands, and slashed at Chu Zihang's back.

"Be careful!" Qian Li's face changed, and he didn't think about pulling Chu Zihang to switch places with him.

Chu Zihang felt that there was silence all around, and the picture in front of him slowed down hundreds of times, playing frame by frame in his field of vision.

The girl's long hair fluttered in the air, and behind her was the blazing sky, and the firelight distorted everything, leaving only her eyes gradually clear. The eyebrows are raised, the red shadow is blurred at the corners of the eyes, the skin is as white as snow, and the beauty is like a scene in a dream.

The long knife hanging above her head slashed down in the air with the power of destroying the sky.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but the gunpowder that had been laid out was completely detonated at this time.

An invisible shock wave swept the flames and pushed them outward.

Chu Zihang flew out upside down with Qianli in his arms.

The loud explosion left him with only a roar in his head, his mind blanked, and his only thought was to hold her tight.

Hold on to Qianli.

The purpose, identity, and all of that didn't matter, as long as she could live safely.

"Why did it detonate early?!" Caesar yelled.

Yuan Zhisheng was also stunned.

According to their estimates, it would take at least another two minutes for the bomb to start exploding.

"What are you doing?!" He grabbed Caesar, who was about to rush into the fire.

"Go find them!" Caesar shook him off.

"It's useless." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, he pointed to the open elevator door: "The remaining bombs don't know when they will detonate again, we have to protect ourselves first." ”

"I'm not going to die, so remember, if something happens to me one day, all you have to do is get out of place regardless of the consequences, and I'll go to you. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, only if you live, can those sacrifices be worthwhile", this is what Qian Li once said to him.

"You are the young master of the Eight Snake Clan, the future emperor, no matter when, the first option is to protect yourself, so that you can protect others. Let the people below do it, and they are ready to sacrifice for our ultimate goal the moment they join", this is Tachibana Masa.

And that's what he's been doing.

Caesar glared at Gen Zhisheng incredulously, "What the are you talking about?" ”

That's ridiculous, isn't it? A high-ranking emperor and a leader who has been on the top for a long time can actually leave behind his partner and say such words without conscience and backbone.

In this critical moment, what you have to do is not to live and die with your partners, but to live by yourself.

It's like the disgusting and sticky snake and rat in the novel.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't speak, just looked at Caesar.

Caesar grabbed him by the collar and pressed it viciously against the wall: "Listen to the, don't even think about getting on the elevator and running away by yourself, if my friends die, I guarantee you won't survive either, whether you are a great emperor or a tortoise, no, you are a rat in the gutter." ”

Yuan Zhisheng, who was already extremely weak, was so excited by this impact that he almost coughed out his lungs, and he repeated with difficulty that he didn't know whether to convince himself or Caesar: "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, you are the team leader, and the task of the team leader is to maximize the survival of the team." ”

"What is a senseless sacrifice? All I know is that I can't watch my partner die! Caesar paused: "I am not the leader, I am the partner of justice." Never leaving a friend behind is my justice, I live for my justice, and die for my justice! ”

As he spoke, he untied the colored knots around his waist and tied up Gen Zhisheng, beware of taking the opportunity to manipulate the elevator to leave.

"You're insulting these things." He looked at the colored lines.

This was given to him by Xia Qingfeng, and it was the only time he saw some kind of emotion called grief in the eyes of the other party.

"It's a custom on the battlefield of ancient China, far away, called 'homecoming.'" Xia Qingfeng explained to him: "When the soldiers were preparing to go to the battlefield, everyone took out a thread from their clothes and tied it to each other, and those who survived had to take the rope to visit the relatives of their comrades. I've given this to you, so if I die one day, you're responsible for telling my family with my family. ”

For the first time, little Caesar took it with both hands and tied it around his waist: "Where is your home?" ”

"I don't have a home, so you can't die." Xia Qingfeng had a straight face.

Little Caesar: "......"

He has been wearing this on his body for so many years, but he has never tried to find Xia Qingfeng.

In his cognition, that kind of fool should live a hundred years without heart and lungs.

"I can't stand being my own self who is no longer righteous, if someone else betrays justice, I will be the first to kill him."

After Caesar finished speaking, he rushed into the fire like an arrow off the string.

Righteous ...... Partner?

Yuan Zhisheng looked at his back, without hesitation, and sneered.

He was laughing at himself.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to be a partner in justice, but he failed to persevere, and became the last person he wanted to be.

Shameless, selfish, evasive, retreating, and even preying on those closest to oneself.

Just for the illusory righteousness and ultimate goal.

This kind of self makes him feel funny.

Caesar was right, he was not an emperor or a tortoise, he was a mouse, a walking corpse, a mess of mud.

Over the years, it has been the invisible and untouchable ultimate goal that has supported this body, and he is a puppet imprisoned by the body, a thing that is not a person or a ghost.

But what to do, just when he completely accepted himself like this, his light returned.

Still so dazzling and clean.

Pure without a hint of impurities.

He can't afford to lose the light anymore.

Gen Zhisheng stood up, and the broken bones were put back together.

The emperor ushered in a new life.
