Xiao Ran's plan is not just one step. Creating real and fake Lelouch is just a part of the plan. It is important but not indispensable. The worst is to make Lelouch completely disappear so that other legions will not be able to find Lelouch no matter what. existence, and then started their legion war without knowing the name of the mission, but Xiao Ran's next plan was actually even more wild and crazy.
It just means that with Lelouch, Xiao Ran will be able to gain more initiative in the next mission and be able to borrow more power, not only the local power of this world, but also the power of those legions. Of course, only Xiao Ran and Saki would know about the real and fake Lelouch.
As for the real Lelouch, the young man standing in front of Xiao Ran now, his eyes flickered twice and he looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief.
Lelouch couldn't be sure whether what Xiao Ran said was true or not. Although the half-smile on Xiao Ran's face seemed to be a joke, Lelouch could feel a little bit of it from Xiao Ran's words. Certainty and truth, as if Xiao Ran's name was really Lelouch like his, but in Lelouch's heart, he also felt that Xiao Ran's statement that he was called Lelouch was probably a lie, but he didn't know what Xiao Ran wanted. What to do, what is the purpose.
Of course, whether a name is true or false is not that important at the moment, but it only exists as a code name for a person. If Lelouch does not believe that Xiao Ran calls himself Lelouch, then he will naturally give Xiao Ran another name in his heart. Special code names, such as the man with sunglasses.
After a moment of silence, Lelouch really didn't know what Xiao Ran wanted to do. More importantly, he was still on a fleeing truck. Besides, Lelouch didn't think he had the ability to escape from the mysterious Xiao Ran. , lowered his voice and said: "I don't care if your name is Lelouch or not, what do you want to do? Since you are not with this group of people, nor are you from there, then what on earth do you want to find me for?" .”
"Cooperation." Xiao Ran said two words softly, glanced at Lelouch who had a sullen face with a little doubt, and continued: "I have said from the beginning that my purpose is you, and I am here for you. I have been observing you for a long time when you didn’t know it. You have high wisdom, calmness and decisiveness, but also courage. The key is that you are sinister enough and will never hesitate when it’s time to be ruthless. In addition, you You have a more special identity, so I think you will be the best collaborator."
When Lelouch heard Xiao Ran say that he had been observing him for a long time, he was shocked again, but his face did not show it at all. While he forced himself to remain calm, he also quickly analyzed the authenticity of Xiao Ran's words in his heart. Guessing Xiao Ran's true purpose, he also procrastinated and said: "Cooperation, what are you going to do? If you have observed me for a long time, then you should know that I am just an ordinary person now, and those identities have nothing to do with it. It’s important, and your so-called cooperation is nothing more than trying to take advantage of me. The real leader will only be you. Is such unequal cooperation really cooperation?”
"I can make my own judgment on whether it is irrelevant or not." Xiao Ran chuckled and said, "Besides, as a prince, how can you really break away from the empire? Your so-called identity now is just deceiving yourself. As for equality or not, , you should also know that only those with strong power can get more say in cooperation. If I am stronger than you, then I will have more say than you. Of course, I will try my best to use your voice. Treat each other as equals, but no matter what you ask for or what I ask for, I hope we can give each other the most support."
Lelouch took a deep breath: "What if I choose not to."
Xiao Ran kept smiling and expressed the most sincere thoughts in his heart: "Then you have only three choices. The first is to disappear from this world forever from now on. The second is to be controlled by me and forced to cooperate with me. The third is, I I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood, but I'll put you under house arrest."
"By the way, it seems that I haven't explained the premise and purpose of cooperation yet, which can be regarded as the final answer to the question I gave you before." Xiao Ran smiled apologetically at Lelouch and said, "I want to destroy the current holy Butali. The sub-empire, at least the current empire, the existence of the empire has become a cancer that threatens the world. Right now, the ruins outside are being massacred by the imperial army, a complete massacre. This kind of people who do not regard life as a If a country is the same thing, either destroy it or change it, but the result will be to destroy the current empire."
"If all this is not changed as soon as possible, sooner or later the empire will arouse greater hatred, and when the hatred of the whole world gathers, then everything will be irreversible, or the whole world will be completely destroyed by hatred, Or countless innocent lives will be lost forever, and blood will be spilled all over the world."
"You can think of me as a rebel, a pioneer who resists this distorted world. I am not the fool who drove the car in front of me. What I want to bring to this world is real peace, so that war, destruction and death can disappear in this world." world."
"And I also know very well that whether you want to change the world, destroy the empire, or take revenge on certain people in the empire, at least little Lelouch, you have always had this idea."
Lelouch's heart became even colder at this time. No one knew that he wanted to crush the Holy Butalia Empire. This was his dream and pursuit. Of course, there were many reasons and the internal situation was also complicated. place, but the important thing is that Lelouch does have such an idea, but he has never been able to actually implement it. Even though he has wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people but has no power, all this is empty talk.
Before Lelouch could speak, Xiao Ran smiled and spoke again: "You have wisdom but no power, but you have a special identity that can play an important role at critical moments. And I have power and I don't lack wisdom, but I don't Suitable identity and channels. We also have the minimum desire to change the world, so no matter what you think, I think you are the most suitable collaborator. How about, before I completely figure out my purpose, I can at least temporarily Be my collaborator and see if we can actually change the world, change that empire?”
"Hehe...hehe..." Lelouch lowered his head and laughed suppressedly: "Interesting, interesting, really interesting. If you want to crush or change the Butalia Empire, the purpose of this cooperation is really interesting. I can agree to cooperate with you, but before we cooperate, I need to know what the power you are talking about is, and you have mentioned the purpose, but have not yet stated the prerequisites for cooperation.”
Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't completely trust you, so the premise is that I will control your biggest weakness, but at the same time, as compensation, I will also give you real strength."
