Xiao Ran's plan is not just one step. Making True and False 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 the existence of Lelouch no matter what, and then start their legion war with no clue about the name of this mission. However, Xiao Ran's next plan is actually even more wild and crazy.
It just means that with Lelouch, Xiao Ran can gain more initiative in the following mission time and can 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 will know about True and False Lelouch.
As for the real Lelouch, that is, the young man standing in front of Xiao Ran, his eyes flickered twice and looked at Xiao Ran in disbelief.
Lelouch couldn't be sure whether what Xiao Ran said was true or not. Although it seemed that the half-smile on Xiao Ran's face was a joke, Lelouch could feel a little bit of certainty and truth from Xiao Ran's words, as if Xiao Ran's name was really Lelouch like him, 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 to do and what his purpose was.
Of course, it is not that important whether a name is true or false, but it only exists as a person's code name. If Lelouch does not believe that Xiao Ran calls himself Lelouch, then he will naturally give Xiao Ran another special code name in his heart, such as Sunglasses Man.
After a moment of silence, Lelouch really didn't know what Xiao Ran wanted to do. More importantly, he was still in a fleeing truck. Besides, Lelouch didn't think he had the ability to escape from the mysterious Xiao Ran faced the possibility of escape, so he lowered his voice and said, "I don't care whether you are called Lelouch or not. What do you want to do? Since you are not with this group of people and you are not from there, then what are you going to do with me?"
"Cooperation." Xiao Ran said two words gently, 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 am not where you are. I have been observing you for a long time when I found out. You are very intelligent, calm and decisive but also courageous. The key is that you are sinister enough and will never hesitate when it is time to act cruelly. In addition, you have a more special identity, so I think you will be the best collaborator."
Lelouch was shocked again when he heard Xiao Ran say that he had been observing him for a long time, but his face did not show it in the slightest. While he forcibly remained calm, he also quickly analyzed the authenticity of Xiao Ran's words in his mind, guessing what Xiao Ran really was. The purpose, but he also procrastinated and said, "Cooperation, what are you going to do? If you have observed me for a long time, you should know that I am just an ordinary person now. As for those identities, it doesn't matter at all. And your so-called cooperation is nothing more than wanting to use 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 having Only those with strong power can have more say in cooperation. If I am stronger than you, I will have more say than you. Of course, I will treat you as an equal as much as possible, but no matter what you ask for or what I ask for, I hope that 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 his most sincere thoughts, "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 to keep you alive but I will 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 Britannian 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 slaughtered by the Imperial Army. A country that does not take life seriously will either destroy it or change it, but the result will be the destruction of 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. Either the whole world will be completely destroyed by hatred, or countless innocent lives will disappear forever, and blood will be spilled all over the world."
"You can think of me as a rebel, a pioneer who resists this twisted 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 from this 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 Holy Britannian Empire. This was his dream and pursuit all along. Of course, there were many reasons and the inside story was complicated. But the important thing was that Lelouch did have such an idea, but he never had enough ability to actually implement it. Even though he had wisdom far beyond the average person but no power, all this was empty talk.
Before Lelouch could speak, Xiao Ran laughed 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 have the right identity or channels. We also have the minimum desire to change the world, so no matter how you look at it, I think you are the most suitable collaborator. How about, before you fully understand my purpose, you can at least act as my collaborator for a while and see if we can really change the world and the empire?"
"Heh... hehe..." Lelouch lowered his head and laughed suppressedly, "Interesting, interesting, really interesting. I want to crush or change Britannian 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 said 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."
