Chapter 508: Xia Li's Death
During the year that Lelouch went missing, Nanali was controlled by Charles.
Nanali communicated with Sister Yuffie during the school festival, and she understood Yufe's wishes and admired Yufe very much. After reinstating her status as royalty, Nanali volunteered to apply to her father to become the governor of District 11 in order to fulfill Yufe's goal.
This time Lelouch is facing his sister Nanali, who has the same purpose and status as Yufie, but at this time, Lelouch is different from the past.
In order to rescue his sister, the Black Knights launched a surprise attack on Nanali, the new governor of District 11.
At the moment when the ship was about to sink, Suzaku arrived, and at this dangerous moment, Zero and Suzaku incarnated by Lelouch rushed to Nanali at the same time, calling her name together.
Unfortunately, the metallic sound made by the mask blocked by Zero made Nanali not hear her brother's voice, she chose Suzaku, and she called Suzaku's name.
At this moment, Lelouch felt as if he had been abandoned by the world.
"What's the point of creating a new world if Nanali isn't even there?"
Throwing away the helmet and liaison, Lelouch abandons Zero's identity, and if Zero becomes an obstacle to Nanali's wishes, then the person can disappear.
Dropping everything down and returning to school, Lelouch prepares to be an ordinary student and unexpectedly discovers that he is not alone. In addition to Nanali, she has many friends around her. Everything that was lost in Nanali finally woke up with the comfort of this group of friends.
He began to reminisce about the past, everything that had happened around Nanali, what Nanali really wanted in her heart, the world that her friends looked forward to......
What are they looking forward to?
I have experienced so many things along the way, what is the purpose of?
Wandering on the edge of life and death several times, exhausting his mental strength to help the Black Knights survive in the cracks of Britannia's encirclement, wearing a mask and living falsely, who is doing all this for?
These questions prompted him to think.
Nanali, Xia Liγ.γ Yufi, Suzaku ......
What is the fate and miserable life they carry?What is the ideal world in Nanali's heart?What mistake did Xia Li make in just wanting to spend her life in an ordinary way?What did she experience?What crime did Sister Yufi, who died tragically because of her own mistakes, commit?Why did the cheerful and lively Suzaku bear the name of killing her father and not be allowed to be of her own race?
What is it that prevents them from being happy and smiling happily in the sun?
"No one is wrong, it's war that's wrong. β
When the Black Knights were about to be wiped out, Lelouch regained his mask.
He finally realized that the goal he had been striving for was not just to create a stable environment for Nanali, but for the gentle, war-free, and beautiful world in Nanali's heart, and this world would definitely become an ideal world that would fulfill the wishes of Suzaku, Xia Li and others.
Lelouch no longer wavered, he cleared the layers of fog with his hands, and with the eyes of geass saw through everything, the way ahead had appeared.
In order to save the Black Knights, Lelouch ordered all of the Black Knights to join the Dongying Special Zone established by Nanali, but in the end, Lelouch's Zero and a million civilians were exiled to the islands of the Pacific Islands and belonged to the Stars and Stripes Alliance, which claimed to be a permanently neutral country.
In Wang Ming's design, the Stars and Stripes replaced the status of the Chinese Federation in the original animation, and this huge alliance across the American continent became the main battlefield next.
This setting is a reference to the Civil War that he learned in history class, and Wang Ming used this part in the animation.
Due to the huge gap between the rich and the poor, the north and south ends of the Stars and Stripes Alliance can be described as full of problems, and even the voices within the royal family are not unified. The current emperor Ao Guanhai's view is expansion and aggression, so he assigned his daughter, Jiang Lihua in the original work, and Ao Chuanpu in the current work to the prince of Britannia, wanting to strengthen the bargaining chips for controlling the country through marriage.
However, it was destroyed by Zero and others.
β¦β¦
The geass effect that Charlie was affected by Jeremia's geass eliminator was lifted. She recovers memories of the past, not only those altered by Charles, but also those that Lelouch had made her forget.
Xia Li couldn't tell what was true and which memory was true, and accepted two life memories, and these two memories were like maggots on the tarsal bones, entangled in her body. Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she had to ask - if even the memory was wrong, what else was true?
When Xia Li was about to be crushed by fear and confusion, the first thing that came to her mind was Lelouch. In this world full of falsehoods, Lelouch and Zero are two masks together, is Lelouch Rollo's brother or Zero?
In the midst of love and hate, Xia Li decided to mend her revenge on Lulu, and she called Suzaku to tell Suzaku that Lelouch was Zero, but she accidentally ran into Leluxiu.
Suddenly she thought of a possibility, what if the two were in a gang?
On the building at the intersection of the slum and the concession, Xia Li fell from the building, but just when she was about to give up, she accidentally found that the falling body had stopped, and when she looked up, it turned out that Lu Luxiu was desperate to hold her.
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
The falsity of the two memories makes her doubt the world, and Xia Li struggles to leave this false world forever.
"No, I'm not going to let go! I don't want to lose ...... anymore Xia Li. β
Lelouch's eyes were full of sadness and pain, remorse for accidentally killing Yufie, condemnation of his immature self in the past, but more of a determination to never let go.
Xia Li saw the truth she had been looking for in the eyes of Lelouch, and she finally found the real Lelouch, who was not Rollo's brother or Zero of the Black Knights, but the good brother who loved his sister - Lelouch.
For the sake of Lelouch, Xia Li decided to persuade the two who had been good to get along.
"Suzaku, it's not that you can't forgive him, but you don't want to forgive him, right...... And I, I have forgiven him a long time ago, after all, in this world, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. β
Charlie finds her own future, and she is determined to fight the world alongside Lelouch.
At this time, Xia Li meets Rollo, the false brother of Lelouch, to whom she expresses her heart for Lelouch.
"Let me join you, I also want to protect Lulu, I want to find his happiness for him, along with Nanali's share......"
Nanali is Rollo's forbidden death hole.
Lacking family affection since childhood, Rollo, who was used as a tool for killing, is very dependent and trusting to Lelouch who gives him trust and affection, and has a strong possessive desire. Under the influence of Lelouxiu's bitter tricks, he was willing to be used as a pawn by Lelouch, and his goal in life was to replace Nanali as Lelouch's most important relative, this feeling has developed to a pathological state, and Xia Li's words just offended Rollo's death hole.
In order to monopolize his brother, Rollo can kill anyone who stands in his way.
When Lelouch saw Charlie again, she was lying there covered in blood, angry.
"It's great to be able to talk to you at the last moment of my life. β
Lelouxiu's brain went blank, his body trembled, looking at this scene in disbelief, as if he had used all his strength, he squeezed a deep voice out of his throat: "Who did it?"
Shaking his head, knowing that it was not the time to pursue this matter, Lelouch was about to call a doctor, but was interrupted by Xia Li.
"When I regained my memory, I was scared! Everything around me was fake, everyone was lying, and it felt like the whole world was watching me.
Lulu, you've always been alone in a world like this... Even if it's just me, I want to be Lulu's partner.
I like Lulu, I know that you got my dad involved, but I still can't hate you.
Although Lulu made me forget everything, I fell in love with Lulu again, so I thought, even if the memory has been modified countless times, even if the world is all fake, only this liking is absolutely real.
So no matter how many reincarnations, I... All absolutely... Absolutely will love you......"
Xia Li closed her eyes forever, even if Lelouch used Geass frantically on Xia Li, he couldn't change her death, after all, GeAss is only spiritual energy, not enough to change the birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings.
But what Xia Li left to the audience, this deep "no matter how many reincarnations, I will like to hurt you again" love, but no one was moved by it, and after Lelouch was Yufe, he lost Xia Li again.
Xia Li's death made countless people sigh with sadness, and the gentle girl who smiled forever, was full of tenderness in her smile, pressed her sadness in her heart, and healed others with her smile, left forever.
