Lelouch, who was still in the car, immediately turned around and glanced at Xiao Ran's back, but what he saw immediately was a cleanly dressed girl with long hair looking at him with a smile three to five meters away, with two pistols in her hands like He held it in his hand as casually as a toy, and looked directly at him without any fear. On the contrary, his smiling expression seemed to be full of threats.
At such a close distance, and with Xiao Ran's back turned, a young woman who seemed weak but whom Lelouch knew was powerful looked into his eyes without covering up, and at this moment, Saki was so far away from Xiao Ran. It was quite close again, which immediately gave Lelouch an impulse to control Saki to achieve his goal of killing Xiao Ran.
The eye that has been engraved with the geass rune has begun to flicker. In the next second, he can directly apply his geass ability to Saki, destroying in one fell swoop the Lu who is currently carrying him, threatening him, and trying to control him. Lu Xiu'.
The weather, the right place, the right people, all the conditions seem to be telling Lelouch to hurry up and use your power to control that girl. There also seems to be an inexplicable voice in his ears telling Lelouch that if he doesn't do this, he will have to do it again next time. Without such an opportunity, his most beloved sister will also fall into the hands of 'Lelouch'.
Then, Lelouch decisively made the most appropriate choice at this time without hesitation: "Geass! Obey my order, kill the people around you and then commit suicide!"
Rukino Saki's expression suddenly changed, and he raised two pistols with both hands and pointed them in Xiao Ran's direction. Lelouch was pleasantly surprised when he saw this scene, but the face of CC next to him changed drastically, and he looked at Lelouch in horror. After glancing at their backs, they immediately focused on Xiao Ran and Saki.
However, the development of the matter was far beyond Lelouch's expectation. After Saki raised the pistol, there was no movement for a long time. Xiao Ran also turned around and looked at Lelouch at this time, and nodded lightly at the same time: "Sure enough, you have lived up to my expectations, and you have not disappointed me either. You are the Lelouch who will take advantage of any opportunity as long as he can seize it. You are even more certain that I must keep your presence by my side, but The sense of fulfillment after just gaining strength makes you believe in your abilities too much, and it does affect your calmness and observation."
"If you can notice more things, you should know that you don't know enough about us, and you won't have the chance to control any of us."
Saki put down the pistol, casually tilted his head and said at this time: "That feeling was a bit strange. I really seemed to have lost consciousness for a second. It was completely different from a mental shock. No. That sense of omen is a feeling that is naturally affected, and I can clearly hear his voice wanting to order me to kill you and then commit suicide."
Xiao Ran nodded calmly: "I have already felt it. It is just a kind of consciousness shielding and modification. It is no different from hypnosis. It only works directly from the spirit. If the individual has a strong will and a strong spirit, he has the ability to benefit from this ability. For ordinary people, I have at least several ways to solve the impact of this ability on others. The simplest way is to let others see the illusion that the goal has been achieved, and deeply believe that it is Realistically, this is very easy to do.”
Lelouch's face suddenly turned pale. The conversation between Xiao Ran and Saki made him understand something. The reason why Xiao Ran deliberately turned his back to him just now and Saki faced him was to actually try his hand. Whether the ability can affect the two of them, but the current result has fully explained the outcome.
More importantly, in Lelouch's opinion, this first use not only had no effect, but also gave his 'collaborators' a clear insight into the strength of his ability, confirming that his ability was ineffective against them. It worked, and a method was found to crack the ability. In the end, he took the initiative to throw away the little bit of insignificant deterrence he had.
cc walked calmly to the side door of the container, left the container with a message: "They are not ordinary people, they have existences that are more powerful than you, and there is another person in that girl who can protect her." As long as she is not affected by the geass ability, I will contact you."
"Let's go." Xiao Ran glanced at cc, and then said to Lelouch: "I will wait for you at Suzaku's house. If it is you, you should be able to find it easily."
After saying this, Xiao Ran turned around and left with Saki and CC. Looking at the backs of the man and two women leaving, Lelouch also clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said softly: "If there is a chance, I will definitely kill you, I will."
Ever since he left the empire and became anonymous, Lelouch had almost never felt as aggrieved as he did today. From beginning to end, someone else had completely taken all the initiative, and there was not even the slightest way to compete with him. , everything and every move fell completely under the opponent's calculations.
This is what he has gained now, what he is going to do next, and how he will hand over his sister to the other party. This is also true when the other party says he is waiting for him at Suzaku's house. He cannot refute it at all, and there is no such thing. To refute, the only attempt and the first time to use geass also ended in failure. This not only really hit his inexplicable arrogance and self-confidence, but also affected Lelouch's view of geass' ability. It was boring. Power is also useless power.
But what Xiao Ran said made him remember it in his heart. The key to how much power he can exert depends on himself. If he is too weak, he will not be able to use the weapon even if he holds it.
"Hey." Lelouch gritted his teeth, glanced at the unconscious Suzaku, and finally raised his head and took out a communicator from his arms, a communicator that could contact the resistance. After a moment of silence, Lelouch put away the communicator and took the initiative to walk into the cockpit. Looking at the resistance member who was still in a coma, he didn't waste time and directly lifted him up and carried him behind him, taking one step at a time. He slowly left the truck and walked quickly into the darkness.
"From the time Suzaku found the truck to now, he should have sent back the information about finding the truck as soon as possible, and only then did the woman leave. Those gunshots represent the battle between the girl and the subsequent reinforcements of the Imperial Army. , but the girl came back safely, which means that the imperial army that came for reinforcements should have been completely wiped out."
"Although I don't know how many reinforcements there are from the Imperial Army, the gunshots that were fired just now were extremely dense. That girl could easily kill an entire reinforcements. The power she possesses is indeed very powerful, but then the Empire The army has not received information feedback from the reinforcements in a short period of time, and will definitely continue to send more people over for inspection as soon as possible. I must leave here quickly, and I will probably end up with the empire later. The large army collided."
"The next thing I have to do is return this guy to the resistance. But why did that bastard let me do such a meaningless thing, and solve the current massacre by the imperial army? What does he want to do, and why? I have to help those rebels who are of no use at all. What is the situation on the ground now? Also, I have to find someone to test my ability again. Damn it, why do these two people have such an ability? There is no use in front of me!”
"Huh, also, this guy on my back is really heavy. Carrying him with me for a long time will only affect me. I must first find a safe place to put him down. After solving all this, or in After taking control, let the people from the resistance organization come to look for him."
Lelouch was thinking as he walked with the unconscious driver on his back, but after walking for a while, he felt that he could no longer carry the unconscious driver forward because his body was incomparable to that of Suzaku. Too far. In terms of wisdom, Lelouch is definitely one of the best in this world, but in terms of physical fitness, he is just the most ordinary student. Now, except for geass, which is more of a mental ability Apart from that, his body is as weak as a horse.
After finding a seemingly safe place, Lelouch put the unconscious driver down and used the surrounding environment and gravel and garbage to cover the driver, making dragging easier. The footsteps continued forward and soon climbed up from the underground passage to the surface.
But just as soon as it appeared, the intensive gunshots rang in Lelouch's ears again. Lelouch was so frightened that he quickly buried his head and slowly stretched his head to look near the passage he came out of. The first thing you see is countless corpses lying on the ground. A group of soldiers wearing special uniforms are using their weapons to kill civilians who are running around without any resistance at all.
Seeing this scene, Lelouch sneered in his heart, but at the same time he also felt an inexplicable sadness: "Empire? Guards? Haha, is it so natural to even massacre unarmed people? , such a country must be destroyed!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Lelouch's ears: "Who is there!"
"Wait a minute!" Lelouch shouted immediately, raised his hand and slowly stood up from where he was crouching, and said loudly and calmly: "I am a Butalia! Something to find terrorists."
"Huh?" Several imperial soldiers in red uniforms immediately surrounded Lelouch. After seeing the uniforms Lelouch was wearing, they all showed hesitant expressions, but the weapons in their hands did not change. lay down.
While these soldiers were looking at Lelouch, Lelouch was also looking at the entire situation without leaving any trace, counting the number of soldiers in his eyes, but soon, a man who was obviously a squad leader appeared. He walked towards Lelouch's direction with a pistol in hand.
After the squad leader glanced at Lelouch, a sinister expression appeared on his face: "Student, noble? What a pity, you were so unlucky that you appeared in a place you shouldn't have. What happened here today? Nothing can be leaked out at all. No matter who you are, your life ends here. As for what you said, I will take it from you after you die, but as a noble Student, I believe His Highness the Prince will definitely make compensation to you after your sacrifice."
"Really." Lelouch sighed softly and looked up at all the soldiers in front of him: "I originally thought I could get through this. In other words, that bastard really gave the order to clear this area. Order to kill everyone."
"Geass! Obey my orders! Kill yourself in front of me."
The movements of all the soldiers facing Lelouch suddenly stopped, but then everyone had a ferocious smile on their faces, pointed the weapons in their hands at their own necks, and shouted After shouting the slogan of the empire, they all shot bullets into their own heads. Blood splattered everywhere. Soldiers turned into corpses fell one after another. When Lelouch saw this scene, his face finally showed... A smile I haven’t seen in a long time.
"Power, powerful power, the power to make people obey my orders unconditionally, what an intoxicating feeling." The excited expression flashed across Lelouch's face, because he thought of the two pairs of opponents again. The bastard who turned a blind eye to the fact that his power was useless couldn't help but gritted his teeth again: "How can a power that can only deal with these garbage be considered real power? Damn bastard, my power has no effect on those two guys. You must not let this power confuse you. If two people can resist this power, then there will definitely be more people who can resist."
Not to mention that Lelouch was preparing to help the rebels counterattack after finishing off a pair of soldiers. After Xiao Ran and Saki left with CC, they left this chaotic civilian area almost without any hindrance. The whole process perfectly bypassed all the imperial troops, and then re-entered the city calmly and safely.
And until this time, a small team of three people who had been in silence finally made some movement.
"CC, you can use your code ability to give up to a maximum number of people the ability to geass."
Xiao Ran looked back at CC who was following him, and very calmly and indifferently asked the question he wanted to know most.
CC just glanced at Xiao Ran calmly, and slowly turned his head away, but he had no intention of answering Xiao Ran's question.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran didn't feel anxious or angry. He just smiled softly and said, "cc, I don't know if you have truly felt loneliness in your endless life, but if you are unwilling to cooperate, I think you will definitely feel that kind of loneliness, eternal darkness, endless loneliness, a body that wants to die but cannot die. I can guarantee that at least for the next thousands of years, you will never Those are the only things you have access to.”
