Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Upon hearing this unfamiliar word, the girl's brain went blank for half a second.

She initially thought that the other party had recognized the true identity of the person behind her.

Therefore, the girl even gripped the pistol at her waist, ready to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, the other party used a completely unfamiliar nickname.

Am I overthinking things?

The girl calmly reminded Kirito, "Are you mistaken?"

At least she herself is certain that her companions behind her did not use that title.

"Mistaken identity? Impossible!" Kirito said firmly, "I might mistake you for someone else, but I absolutely cannot mistake his face!"

As he spoke, he chuckled and strode towards the two of them, muttering a series of teasing remarks that left the girl bewildered:

"Isn't this Lu P? How come he's fallen on hard times now?"

"Where is your black dragon whip?"

"And your Gawain mech, why wasn't it with you?"

The term "Lelouch" is, of course, a nickname given to Lelouch in the Eternal Land.

But by simply classifying him as a member of the "P" generation, one can get a glimpse of this hero's potential.

The most famous aspect of this is the use of mid-lane magic items in chess!

Everyone else comes here aiming to fight, push towers, and win, but he's completely oblivious to everything else, spending the entire game using only ground fire and air strikes.

Absolutely, absolutely...absolutely the king of taste!

Imagine this scenario: while others are fighting, I'm playing chess; while others are attacking the dragon, I'm playing chess; while others are pushing their own crystal, I'm still playing chess!

Is there any hero with more taste than Lelouch?!

Now, Lelouch is wearing casual clothes covered in dust, and his face has lost its former arrogance and sharpness, leaving only a timid and fearful expression.

This is completely different from the strategist Kirito remembers.

But seeing the other person like this, Kirito felt even more refreshed than when he put on new panties for the New Year!

He wanted to get closer and observe this 'King of Taste' more closely.

But suddenly, the girl blocked his path with a raised pistol: "Don't come any closer!"

The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at Kirito, her eyes filled with vigilance, showing no intention of backing down.

The girl, no, the long-haired green-haired girl who accompanies Lelouch, should now be called 'CC'.

Kirito stopped in his tracks, helplessly raising his hands in an attempt to explain, "Calm down! I just saved you guys, why are you pointing guns at me now?"

He really couldn't understand how the person who was thanking him just a second ago could suddenly become so hostile.

"You seemed to have mentioned 'Gawain Mech' just now?" CC didn't put down her pistol, but instead asked coldly.

'Gawain' was Lelouch's former Knightmare, and the other party actually knew that name.

Kirito nodded, looking puzzled. "Yeah, isn't Gawain Lelouch's vehicle? What's the problem?"

But he didn't notice that his words made CC's expression even more serious.

CC stared intently at Kirito and demanded, "Why do you know this name? Who are you?"

Lelouch is a man known throughout the world as the 'Demon King' and the 'Tyrant,' and he has countless enemies.

Even if the person in front of them is not an enemy, once Lelouch's identity is exposed, their days will probably never be peaceful again.

Therefore, she must be careful and never let anyone threaten Lelouch's safety.

Kirito was taken aback by the question; he hadn't expected that the name of a mecha would make CC so wary.

The two stood facing each other for several seconds, the air seemingly frozen.

Suddenly, Kirito moved.

He leaned forward slightly and moved his feet slightly.

This subtle movement instantly put CC on edge, her finger gripping the trigger tightly, ready to fire at any moment.

"Are you afraid I'll hurt him?" Kirito asked tentatively, his gaze falling on Lelouch behind C.C.

CC remained silent, offering no reply, but the raised pistol spoke volumes.

Kirito sighed helplessly, "Really..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the Explainer behind him, drew his black sword, and at the same time, he pushed off with his feet, his body rushing towards CC like an arrow released from a bow!

Seeing the other party charging straight at him, CC no longer hesitated.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three bullets, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through the air, shot straight toward the opponent!

Within seven steps, the gun is both accurate and fast.

She thought the other person would be shot and killed, but the expected scene did not happen.

Instead, a crisp metallic clang rang out; he had actually sliced ​​through the three bullets with his sword!

CC's eyes widened.

Before she could react any further, Kirito had already rushed in front of her.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the interpreter precisely hooked the wrist of the woman holding the gun.

CC felt a numbness in her wrist, and the pistol slipped from her hand. Kirito used his sword to knock it away, and it crashed heavily to the ground not far away.

CC instinctively took a step back, tightening her grip on Lulu, already prepared for the possibility that Lulu might try to kill her.

To her surprise, Kirito slowly sheathed the Explainer, the sound of the black sword returning to its sheath was exceptionally clear.

“You…” CC opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

My mind wasn't filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, but rather completely occupied by doubt.

"See?" Kirito said casually. "If I wanted to hurt you, that gun in your hand wouldn't be able to stop me at all."

He added a sentence to himself.

Of course, this is under the premise that Lelouch does not use his powers.

Judging from the other party's current dazed and confused state, not even daring to raise their head, it's likely they won't be able to use it even if they wanted to.

CC stared blankly at Kirito for a long while before slowly speaking: "Are you doing all this just to prove that you're not the enemy?"

"Otherwise what?" Kirito shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact. "Proving it with strength is the easiest and quickest way, and besides... we have no grudges against each other, so why should we be enemies?"

CC was silent for a moment, then slowly relaxed her tense body and sighed: "I'll believe you for now."

She knew in her heart that Knightmare wasn't by her side now, and even if he didn't believe her, he had no room to resist.

There was no choice but to believe.

Seeing that the other party had lowered their guard, Kirito finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He strode up to Lelouch, scrutinizing him like he was a rare animal, occasionally exclaiming, "Oh, so this is..."

His curious look startled Lelouch.

This former 'tyrant' subconsciously shrank back behind CC, his eyes filled with fear, just like a frightened rabbit.

Seeing this, CC quickly stepped forward and stood between Lelouch and Kirito.

She asked Kirito, "If you're not an enemy, then who are you? And why do you know Lelouch?"

Kirito pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words: "I... I suppose I was someone he knew in the past."

"An acquaintance?" C.C. had never heard of Lelouch having such a special acquaintance.

Also, what does '姑且' mean?

But she also knew that if she pressed for more answers, she probably wouldn't get any more. The most important thing right now was to find a way out of this ruin.

CC turned and walked to a rock not far away, bent down and dragged a huge backpack out from behind the rock.

It contained all of their luggage.

She slung the backpack over her shoulder, and despite its weight, her movements remained steady.

“Actually, we got lost without realizing it.” CC looked at Kirito again: “If it’s convenient, could you give us a map of this area? We just want to get out of here as soon as possible.”

Kirito shook his head upon hearing this: "I do have a map, but... I don't think it's suitable for you."

CC frowned: "What does that mean?"

"The literal meaning." Kirito didn't explain further. "However, where is your destination? I can take you there."

CC fell silent when she heard this question.

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

In fact, she herself didn't know where the journey was going.
