At eight o'clock in the evening, the TV screen flickered, and episode seven of the "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" series began on time.

Cheng Hanfei settled into his seat.

In the beginning, C.C., voiced by Zhuang Yuxin, provided narration.

The plot continued from the end of last weekend.

Lelouch attended the funeral of his friend Shirley's father. Under the gloomy sky, his friends, classmates, and even his most cherished sister openly expressed their aversion to Zero.

Leading the Area 11 people to resist Britannia's dictatorial rule was not a problem. Although Lelouch's friends were Britannians, the common people could not decide the empire's high-level decisions. They felt sorry for them but were powerless to help.

However, Zero's landslide tactics not only eliminated a large number of Britannian soldiers but also inadvertently eliminated a large number of civilians in innocent cities.

It was understandable that Lelouch's friends accused Zero of being a terrorist fanatic.

And Lelouch, who was always confident and intelligent, was also in low spirits.

The reasons for his rebellion against Britannia, in addition to being betrayed by his emperor father as a prince and almost dying with his sister in the hostage incident a few years ago, were also because he believed that resisting the Britannian Empire was just. He had a legitimate reason to lead the oppressed in a righteous act.

But accidentally killing civilians in the pursuit of victory...

This made him question his own sense of justice.

【But, the weak one is you! Are you trying to say you're treating this like a game?】 At a critical moment, C.C. activated her venomous tongue, mocking Lelouch's depression.

【Shut up!】 Lelouch was angry.

【The others you killed also had families! They also had lovers and friends. Are you trying to say you don't understand these things?】 C.C. said with a smile.

Cheng Hanfei blinked. C.C.'s words were actually the most discussed topic among "Code Geass" fans in Xia Country this week.

【Shut up, of course I'm prepared for this.】

【Then why are you confused now?】

【You no longer have the right to waver or stop moving forward. This is, for survival!】 C.C.'s eyes became serious.

If Lelouch couldn't understand and was still wavering because of trivial friendships, then she would give Lelouch a push.

At this moment, C.C.'s charm in the hearts of Cheng Hanfei and a large number of TV drama fans in Xia Country increased again.

That's right, the protagonist can be confused, can be depressed, but must never remain confused or depressed forever.

Lelouch, aren't you going to change the world?

Whether it's for yourself or for your sister, since things have happened, accept them. If you don't even have this kind of ideological awareness, what great things can you do?

Obviously, Lelouch in the plot quickly understood this, and the character's major growth arc was successfully portrayed at this moment.

The reason why the character Lelouch was liked in Su Yan's previous life was not because he was smart, but because he had principles. He was smart, but he was also sentimental and righteous. He admitted his mistakes, but he would never be defeated by setbacks. Even in the end, he was misunderstood by the whole world and even his most cherished sister, and even his sister wanted to kill him, he never wavered from the dream and goal he had set in the first episode.

As the plot progressed, a sense of tragic atmosphere spread.

In the subsequent plot, Lelouch once again led a surprise attack on the Britannian army, but this surprise attack was once again thwarted by Suzaku Kururugi. Lelouch was even injured and fainted during the battle with Suzaku while piloting a mecha.

But at the same time, by coincidence and the arrangement of Lelouch's enemies, Shirley came to the location of Lelouch's surprise attack at night.

After all, the note written to her by an unknown mysterious person stated that Zero might appear here.

Coincidence, just like that, appeared.

Lelouch's mecha fell to the ground, the cockpit popped open, and Lelouch, transformed into Zero, fainted inside. At this time, his friend Shirley happened to encounter him.

When Shirley began to lift Lelouch's mask with her hand, Cheng Hanfei's entire heart was pounding wildly.

He personally found it difficult to watch this kind of plot with a normal heart.

What would happen if Shirley discovered that Lelouch was Zero, the enemy who killed her father?

After her father's death, her favorite boy, Lelouch, had already become a major pillar of her life.

Now this pillar was about to collapse.

Cheng Hanfei thought that Su Yan would play some pretentious tricks in the script, but the plot was very direct. Shirley lifted the mask and saw Lelouch's face.

Then, the crucial moment in the plot revealed the essence of the character.

Shirley, after discovering Lelouch's true identity, and then discovering that at the same time, a Britannian female officer wanted to shoot the unconscious Lelouch, subconsciously raised the gun in her hand and shot the female officer.

Bang!

Cheng Hanfei leaned back in his chair all of a sudden.

He took a deep breath, feeling somewhat complicated.

Shirley, knowing that Lelouch was her father's killer, if she couldn't bring herself to do it, she could have ignored Lelouch at that time and let the Britannian soldiers finish him off.

But she still chose to protect Lelouch and then left the scene without doing anything else.

Sigh...

Cheng Hanfei sighed.

And then, the plot progressed even faster.

After Lelouch was rescued by C.C., he also realized that someone might have discovered his true identity, after all, the mask was removed when he woke up.

But what he couldn't figure out was, why didn't the person who saw his true face kill him?

In the later part of this episode, a new character, Mao, took the stage.

He was also the second person in this work to possess the Geass ability.

His ability was telepathy, but his ability had fatal flaws, he couldn't control it himself.

How could a person who could hear the most real thoughts of the people around him make friends with others, how could he get along with others normally?

He was C.C.'s contractor before Lelouch, but because his ability went out of control and he became mentally deranged, he was abandoned by C.C.

And he targeted C.C. in this episode.

After all, his ability was ineffective against C.C., who gave him the power. In the whole world, he couldn't hear C.C.'s heart alone, so in the whole world, only C.C. was indispensable to him, the only person he could communicate with and admire.

And the plot revolved around Mao choosing to target Shirley, who was on the verge of mental collapse, caught between his love for Lelouch and his hatred for his father's death, in order to win back C.C.

He used his telepathic ability to bring Shirley's spirit to the brink of collapse.

Then, using Shirley as bait, he lured Lelouch to the amusement park.

At this time, as long as he said a few more words to Shirley, detonating the emotions in Shirley's heart, then Shirley would personally shoot and kill Lelouch.

Lelouch would definitely not be wary of his close friend whom he wanted to save. As long as Lelouch died, Mao believed that C.C. would return to him.

Seeing this, Cheng Hanfei's expression had already begun to turn angry.

What a trash character?

Unforgivable!

Doing things so despicably?

Is that how telepathy is used?

Others use this ability to save the mental trauma of others, but you're good, you directly sprinkle salt on the wound!

But at the critical moment, when Shirley pointed the gun at Lelouch, she still couldn't bear to shoot. Her love for Lelouch and her hatred for her father's killer were intertwined, she could no longer handle it, she couldn't kill Lelouch, and she couldn't forgive herself for not being able to shoot.

Cheng Hanfei's heart began to feel abused.

This long-lost, familiar viewing experience, it's only the seventh episode, old thief, are you going to start sending out knives again?

Lelouch stepped forward, grabbed Shirley's gun, and then put it down.

Shirley broke down and cried, and Lelouch hugged her.

Cheng Hanfei's expression was a little dazed, this...

It's impossible that C.C.'s status as the main wife is not guaranteed, right?

And if Shirley really forgets the hatred of killing her father and chooses to forgive Lelouch, then the character will also collapse!

【I just now, was going to shoot and kill Lelouch!】 Shirley cried.

【But I'm still alive.】 Lelouch said gently.

【But...】

【I forgive you!】 Lelouch said firmly.

【Dad clearly died...】 Shirley finally broke down and said this sentence.

【Forget it. It's good to forget the things you hate.】

The question and answer between the two, reaching here, made Cheng Hanfei's heart begin to twitch.

Especially Lelouch's sentence.

How can the hatred of killing one's father be forgotten?

No, no, it's right for Lelouch.

【I can't do it.】 Shirley cried loudly.

【You can do it, I'll make you forget everything. Shirley, I'm very sorry about your father's matter, if I could be reborn again...】 In Lelouch's eyes, a red pupil light lit up.

That was the power of Geass.

Shirley seemed to foresee something, and cried out loudly.

The TV lens turned, the location also switched, and the time came to the evening.

The girl's expression was as usual, with sadness on her face, she came to her father's cemetery at night.

Of course, she was Shirley, and when she was about to leave, she looked at the strange young man, Lelouch, who was also coming to the cemetery late at night, not far away.

【Um, did you lose your family too?】 Shirley said with a smile to this young man whom she met for the first time.

She didn't remember Lelouch, didn't remember his name, didn't remember his appearance, and didn't remember that she had ever liked him.

When she realized this, Cheng Hanfei's nose felt sore.

This plot, you really have it, old thief.

【No, not family, it's a friend.】 Lelouch looked at Shirley, his eyes turning sad.

【You like him, right, that person.】 Shirley said softly.

【Now, I don't know anymore!】 Lelouch's expression was sad, and he turned and left.

The ending song sounded.

Cheng Hanfei's mouth grew wide, listening to the sad BGM.

Lelouch used the Geass ability to make Shirley forget him!

Erasing his memories, his recollections, whether it was Lelouch or Zero, all from Shirley's memory.

The death of her father was an unavoidable fact, but the fact that the boy she had liked for many years was her father's killer was the root cause of Shirley's mental breakdown.

But the most critical thing was that she also knew very well that Zero, under the guise of Lelouch, although he triggered that landslide, his target was not her father.

Her father was also accidentally killed by Lelouch, so how could she bring herself to do it? But if she couldn't bring herself to do it, how could she get over the hurdle in her heart?

In that case, as long as the memory of the person she liked and the identity of her father's killer disappeared from her memory.

No one died in this episode, but it was the most abusive episode since the premiere of this drama, "Code Geass".

Cheng Hanfei quickly turned off the TV, his anger value began to rise, it's only been a year since it stopped, Su Yan, you're starting again?

Are you never going to end with depressing people!
