Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 185 Luo Li: Luo Li and I are innocent (takes out a magic gem)

As Zheng Zha consumed the cooked dragon meat and dragon blood beverage, he felt as if his body was parched and cracked earth receiving long-awaited rain, frantically absorbing the nutrients from the food to replenish himself.

With the addition of the magic power drawn from the Command Seals, Zheng Zha clearly felt his strength rapidly recovering.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zheng Zha let out a satisfying burp and stretched, looking quite content.

Although he quickly recovered his physical strength by eating and drinking and absorbing magic power, Zheng Zha still felt mentally exhausted. He stretched and said, "Burp~, that feels good~. It would be even better if I could take another nap."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan said, "In that case, let's stop dawdling and head back quickly."

Li Shuaixi nodded in agreement, supporting Zhan Lan's suggestion, and said, "Sister Zhan Lan is right. Although all the other Shadow Servants except Saber may have been wiped out."

But to be on the safe side, if you want to sleep and rest, let's wait until we get back.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha scratched his head and said somewhat speechlessly, "I was just saying. What are you all worried about? I'm not so carefree as to just fall asleep."

Li Shuaixi and Zhan Lan just smiled at Zheng Zha without saying a word, which annoyed Zheng Zha. In a fit of anger, he stood up, snorted, and led the way back.

Upon seeing this, Zhan Lan and Li Shuaixi immediately followed. The three of them quickly crossed the mountains and entered the ruins of Fuyuki City. After getting their bearings, they headed towards the school that served as their base.

Throughout the journey, Zheng Zha remained unusually silent, keeping his head down and hurrying on. Occasionally, he would encounter a few skeleton soldiers, but Zheng Zha would use them as punching bags, smashing them to pieces with just two punches.

The three of them returned to school smoothly and then saw the art stone statue that Luo Li had placed at the school gate.

"Hey~, isn't this Second Master? How come he's turned into a stone statue again, and someone's putting him up at the door like a stone lion?"

Upon seeing Matou Shinji petrified again, Li Shuaixi darted past Zheng Zha and rushed forward to see what had happened.

Then, Li Shuaixi saw the sign next to the petrified Matou Shinji. After carefully reading the contents, he realized that the petrification curse on this guy was caused by Luo Li.

After all, the Shadow Servant Lancer Medusa, who used the Petrifying Mystic Eyes, is already dead, and the other known enemies do not have the ability to petrify. In addition, the sign states that Matou Shinji was petrified because he went out and did something reckless.

Li Shuaixi and the others quickly figured out the answer: Luo Li must have petrified him again to prevent him from causing his own death and resulting in the Central Continent Team losing reward points and side quests.

In response, the reincarnators of the Central Continent Team would only say that Luo Li did a great job, completely disregarding the feelings of the petrified Matou Shinji.

Back at the base, although he really wanted to go straight to sleep and rest, Zheng Zha still mustered his energy and went with Zhan Lan and Li Shuaixi to report the results of the battle to Luo Li. He had something more important than sleeping to ask Luo Li about.

Before they could find her, Luo Li came to them and asked, "You came back later than I expected. Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Faced with Luo Li's questioning, Zhan Lan pulled Zheng Zha back from rushing forward to confront Luo Li. She gave Luo Li a detailed account of the battle and then asked on Zheng Zha's behalf, "Luo Li, what exactly did you do to Luo Li? Why did she tell you about Zheng Zha's private training? If you don't explain yourself, Zheng Zha might fight you to the death." Logically, these questions should have been asked by Zheng Zha himself, but seeing Zheng Zha's state, Zhan Lan worried that he wouldn't be able to express himself clearly, thus escalating the situation further. So, she decided to take the initiative and get involved.

"This..." Luo Li looked puzzled upon hearing this. She glanced at Zhan Lan, then at Li Shuaixi, who seemed completely unconcerned, and at Zhang Jie, Zhao Yingkong, and the others who had gathered around to watch the drama unfold. Finally, she looked at Zheng Zha, who was clearly angry, and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you want me to say this here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan realized that what was about to be said might involve personal privacy, but before she could suggest finding a secluded corner to talk privately, Zheng Zha shouted, "Why can't we say it here? Let everyone judge! Tell me what you did to Luo Li and why she told you everything about me."

As soon as Zheng Zha shouted, Zhan Lan knew it was all over. Helplessly, she let go of Zheng Zha's hand, shook her head, and walked to the side, not wanting to deal with the matter anymore.

Li Shuaixi had already run to Zhang Jie, Zhao Yingkong, and the others to watch the show together.

"Then I'll tell you, but don't regret it later." Luo Li reminded Zheng Zha again, and then took out a magic gem before he could reply.

When Zheng Zha saw Luo Li take out the magic gem, his anger was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. He remembered that this thing was used by Luo Li and Li Shuaixi to record their embarrassing history.

Thinking about how many times Zhang Jie had been tricked by this thing, and how badly he had been tricked, Zheng Zha quickly shouted, "Wait a minute!!!"

However, Luo Li wouldn't give Zheng Zha a chance or time to change his mind. When he shouted "Wait a minute," the magic gem had already started playing the recorded video.

In the video, Luo Li and Luo Li are sitting face to face at a small round table, which is decorated with various exquisite desserts. An unsuspecting person might mistake it for a tea party between best friends.

But the Central Continent team didn't think so. Since Luo Li had recorded everything with her magic gems, it meant that someone was definitely going to die. Who could it be? It was hard to guess.

Seeing that Luo Li and Luo Li were about to start talking, Zheng Zha rushed towards Luo Li with red eyes, trying to destroy the magic gem in her hand. However, Luo Li's casual remark made him hesitate.

"Don't you want to know if Lori is innocent? If you destroy this magic gem, you may never get the answer. After all, seeing is believing."

Luo Li paused the magic gem and handed it to Zheng Zha, as if it were entirely up to him to decide whether to continue playing. Zheng Zha hesitated for a moment, then, with his intelligence now on full display, he looked at the onlookers around him and knew that he had no way out.

Zheng Zha absolutely believed in Luo Li. From the beginning, he thought that Luo Li was being unfair and coercing Luo Li, but everything changed when the magic gem was taken out.

Moreover, after calming down, Zheng Zha realized that Luo Li had given him several ways out, but he had rejected them all in his anger.

Now everyone is watching the drama unfold, and Luo Li's innocence is no longer something she can decide for herself. The only way is to keep the Magic Gem playing to prove that Luo Li and Luo Li are innocent.
