Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Then, just as Lelouch had expected, Kururugi Suzaku fell into the trap set by the Black Knights in advance and used the Graphien jammer to affect the energy operation of [Lancelot].

[Lancelot] couldn't move, so Kururugi Suzaku had no choice but to agree to Zero's request to come out and talk.

Seeing Lelouch holding a gun to threaten Suzaku Kururugi and talking to him, Yin Li found the scene a little ridiculous.

As expected, after the two chatted for a few words, Kururugi Suzaku followed the orders of his superiors and captured Zero directly, and now the gun was against Zero's head.

Then the Shikinejima headquarters will launch a ground-to-ground missile, and Kururugi Suzaku wants to die with Zero.

As the captain of Zero's personal guard, Kallen immediately became emotional and tried to manipulate the Knightmare forward, but was stopped by Todo Kagamishiro, the head of the Black Knights' military department.

Yin Li jumped off the Knightmare without saying a word and rushed towards the two of them.

"No! He will shoot Zero!" Karen shouted anxiously when she saw this.

Shoot? Kururugi Suzaku had already captured Zero, so he should have shot him a long time ago.

During these days of spending time together in the student union, Yin Li also understood his character. He has a strong sense of justice. Although he is a soldier, he attaches unexpected importance to the lives of others, but the opposite to his own life. People like him do not have the courage to shoot others!

Kururugi Suzaku grabbed Zero in his hand and threatened loudly, "Don't move!"

Yin Li ignored his threats, and the sand under her feet kicked up gravel. Yin Li did a roundhouse kick and kicked the gun directly out of his hand.

Seeing this, Suzaku Kururugi immediately put Zero in front of him.

Yin Li quickly picked up the gun on the ground and pointed it at the two men. "Do you want to test my marksmanship? See if I can avoid Zero and kill you with one shot?"

Kururugi Suzaku looked at the strange man in a hood and mask in front of him, and suddenly remembered something. He frowned and asked, "Are you the sniper from Narita?"

"Yeah. Should I say you are an intuitive person who doesn't like to use your brain? You guessed it all." Yin Li pressed down his finger, as if to pull the trigger.

Suzaku Kururugi controlled Zero to take two steps back.

Kallen on the side yelled, "No, Zero is still in that guy's hands!"

She would never allow Yin Li to gamble with Zero's life.

Lelouch stopped him with a sharp cry, "Don't shoot!"

Since the hostage didn't want to be rescued, Yin Li naturally didn't bother about it. He casually turned the gun in his hand twice and threw it back to the released Zero.

Suzaku Kururugi was still staring at Zero with a fierce look in his eyes. As long as Zero made any move, he would definitely step forward and capture him again.

The near-ground missiles were already flying from Shikine Island and were gradually approaching them.

Yin Li looked up at the missiles in the sky that were gradually approaching with the smell of white flames, and then looked boredly at the quarreling Kururugi Suzaku and Zero.

Things like near-ground missiles can't hurt him, so if necessary, he can of course save Zero as well.

Even a Knightmare wouldn't be able to hurt him.

Looking at Suzaku Kururugi who was still restraining him, Lelouch shouted angrily, "You'll die too if you keep going like this! Is this really okay?!"

The hesitant Kururugi Suzaku was resolute after hearing the official words from the headquarters through the headphones.

Yin Li looked at Shumu Suzaku with some surprise. Yin Li's judgment was wrong. It turned out that when his life was threatened, Shumu Suzaku would also waver. He was not as determined to die as imagined.

Before the two of them could come to a conclusion of their argument.

A shadow covering the sky and the sun appeared above the heads of several people. Yin Li raised his head and saw a huge and gorgeous floating warship appearing in the sky, with its extended gun turrets.

Yin Li looked up at the huge monster above his head.

"Run!"

The last thing he saw was Lelouch rushing towards him while yelling at the top of his lungs.

Chapter 248 Lelouch 25

The floating battleship turret was an unfinished weapon that did nothing but overturn the sand.

What a waste of its gorgeous appearance that looks so powerful.

As for that floating battleship, its large size would reduce its speed, and its weapons were not yet complete... Although it was unknown which Britannian royal was on the battleship, he was a man of great courage to put the unfinished equipment into use directly.

At the same time, Yin Li also collected very good information.

He observed his surroundings, caressing the white waves on the beach and the coconut trees not far away.

They didn't drift too far along the waves, and this should be an unknown island around Shikine Island.

The black sweatshirt that was one size larger than his body had been soaked by the sea water, and the wet sweatshirt hung heavily on his body. Yin Li took off the sweatshirt directly while wearing a mask, and the tight black base layer underneath was also wet and stuck to his body.

He used his spiritual power to dry his body, shook his long hair behind him, and brushed off the sand and salt on his mask.

Then I began to analyze the current situation.

In addition to Yin Li, there are four other people within the attack range, namely Zero, Suzaku Kururugi, Kallen and Euphemia.

He and Lelouch were already standing close to each other, so they should not be far apart now.

Yin Li didn't rush to find Lelouch. She first took out the wet cell phone from her pocket and sent a message.

The mobile phone has been specially modified to be waterproof and satellite capable, so it can still transmit messages even in such a situation.

He certainly caught Euphemia's last yell.

So he passed on the news that the second prince of the Britannian Empire, Schneizel EL Britannia, had arrived in Area 11.

Then he walked leisurely to find some food on the island.

After walking a few steps, he saw Lelouch and Euphemia not far away. Yin Li stood aside and watched silently as Lelouch took off his Zero helmet and revealed his true face to Euphemia.

Euphemia shed tears as she looked at Lelouch who had returned from the dead.

It was a truly touching reunion.

Yin Li turned around impatiently and decided to go find food.

Lelouch suddenly caught sight of the flying black hair from the corner of his eye. He turned around and grabbed Yin Li, who was in a bad mood, and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Of course I won't disturb your touching reunion. I guess you two really need some private space. Please don't worry about me. I'll go find some food." Yin Li gently shook off Lelouch's hand and wanted to leave.

His voice was as calm as ever, but it seemed to reveal a weariness that came from deep within.

Lelouch realized that he was jealous, but his heart suddenly tightened. Yin Li's attitude made him realize that if he continued like this, his presence would only make Yin Li annoyed.

Lelouch grabbed his hand again, a sad expression on his face, "Don't go. She and I don't have anything personal to discuss."

Euphemia looked at the long-haired boy wearing a mask, took a step forward, and asked hesitantly, "Could it be... are you Yin Li?"

The hesitation in her tone was a test, and Yin Li knew this very well.

But he still chose to take off the mask, "Long time no see, Euphemia."

"Great, you're okay, that's great..."

Seeing two old friends in one day, Euphemia cried again.

When the Federation announced the emperor's death, Euphemia was shocked and saddened.

Seeing the girl in front of him with a red face from crying, Yin Li sighed helplessly, "Aren't you a little too sentimental?"

Hearing this familiar tone of voice, Euphemia seemed to have returned to her colorful childhood, and her tears flowed even harder.

She cried like a child, wiping away her tears as she said, "Because... because I was really worried about you. At that time, I even asked my sister to ask the Federation..."

Yin Li continued, "Cornelia will definitely say you are meddling in other people's business."

Euphemia chuckled. Yin Li had indeed hit the nail on the head. Cornelia had scolded her, but, "My sister wasn't that mean to me. She even asked the Federation for me, saying that after the fire, not even a wreckage was left."

Having said this, Euphemia couldn't help but lower her eyes and feel sad.

Unlike her who was doted on by her royal sister, both Lelouch and Yin Li were forced to live such a miserable life under the pressure of various parties.

Even though they were rivals, Euphemia, who had a strong sense of empathy, could not find any reason to condemn them and could even understand their resentment.

Yin Li and Euphemia just chatted for a few words, and it was as if they were back in the palace.

Lelouch recalled that Euphemia used to be the closest to Yin Li, and Yin Li's attitude towards Euphemia was surprisingly gentle. He couldn't help feeling that he was being treated differently, so he started to interrupt their conversation.

"Euphemia, how did you guess Yin Li's identity?"

Before this, Zero and Euphemia had had contact once, and Lelouch had been in Area 11, so it was understandable that she guessed that Lelouch was Zero.

This was the first time she met Yin Li, and he had been staying in the Federation before that, so she would never associate him with her.

"Ah, it's because of Lelouch's attitude." Euphemia had stopped crying. She lifted her wet skirt and said as a matter of course, "The only one who can make Lelouch so nervous is Yin Li."

"At the beginning, Nunnally and I were competing to be Lelouch's bride, but Lelouch was always looking at Yin Li, so I thought Lelouch must want Yin Li to be his bride."

When Euphemia talked about the past, she couldn't help showing a nostalgic and gentle expression. Those beautiful childhood memories had never faded in her heart.

Yin Li was malnourished and often sick as a child, while Nunnally has always been lively and active, and showed a strong physique like Mariana at an early age. Lelouch's worried eyes often fell on Yin Li.

Yin Li felt a little helpless at Euphemia's strange words. He couldn't be a bride.

Lelouch was stunned. He was sent to Area 11 as a chess piece. Then war broke out and he and Nunnally were displaced all the way.

Ever since his mother's death, all the memories in the Britannia Palace were covered with a layer of hypocrisy and became unsightly. Lelouch never recalled the past.

Now that Euphemia mentioned it, those things seemed like faded old photos, which made people nostalgic but also tinged with sadness.

Lelouch was also somewhat reluctant to admit that it was his shameful little thought, so he refuted her, "You were also looking at Yin Li at that time."

"Because Yin Li is in poor health and always sits alone, it's very worrying." Euphemia retorted angrily, "Isn't that what Lelouch thinks?"

Faced with Euphemia's aggressive questioning, Lelouch fought back without giving in.

"I say, you're the one who's been pestering Yin Li, right? Every time you come to Aries Palace, you go to him first, and you're the first one to share delicious desserts with him. I guess you want to be his bride, right? You were the one who had that thought at the time, right?"

"Of course," Euphemia admitted readily, leaving Lelouch speechless for a moment.

"Because Yin Li is super powerful and smart, he understands everything. He healed the injured bird and gave me the straw rabbit. He even understood what Princess Mariana and the adults were talking about."

"In my mind at the time, Yin Li was like a superman. As long as he was there, all problems would be solved. Although he wasn't tall, he still shielded me from many storms."

Euphemia looked at Yin Li, whom she had not seen for a long time, and after many years, she finally expressed all her girlish thoughts at that time.

When Yin Li left the Britannia Palace, she was the one who cried the most sadly and was the most helpless.

"I have always believed in you. I believe you will make the right choice. Although I don't quite understand it yet..."

Lelouch could no longer listen to Euphemia's words. He suddenly felt a sense of crisis, which came from Euphemia's frank confession of her thoughts and her undisguised trust and confidence.

Lelouch couldn't help but grit his teeth, this was indeed something he couldn't do.
