In the empty and quiet music classroom, Nagisa Xun sat relaxed with his back against the piano. Ed moved a chair and sat across from him, with CC standing beside him nervously and silently. Even if resistance is meaningless, a certain mentality called curiosity or death makes him eager to have a chat with the other party.
"Don't you realize how contradictory your own consciousness is?" Zhu Xun looked at Ed with pity, "You are clearly awakened as a New Type, eager to break the wall of your soul, but your heart is stubbornly rejecting everything, wanting to keep Absolute physical and mental independence. This nondescript, half-hearted obsession, it's like—"
"It's like my existence itself." Ed replied calmly, "It's neither Li Lin nor an outsider, but something in between, like a paramecia."
CC couldn't help reaching out to support his shoulder when he heard this, Ed looked up and gave her a reassuring smile.
"It turns out that you are self-conscious, and you didn't fall into the logical trap of self-cognition." Zhu Xun laughed at himself, "I envy you a little bit, but I don't know what I am for the time being. I thought we would be very similar. , it does not appear to be so.”
"We're not enemies?" Ed asked curiously.
"My destiny is to continue to live until I find Adam. Maybe human beings will perish, but that's only their destiny." Nagisa Xun looked at Eddard happily, "Even if there is a second shock, it will affect you and your side. The fakes have no effect, I don't think we need to become enemies, this is probably your fate."
Hearing the word "counterfeit", CC's five fingers slammed hard, causing Ed's shoulder to ache. He reluctantly relaxed his body and patted the white, slender hand on his shoulder.
"My destiny stems from my choice." Ed shook his head firmly, "not from some necessity."
"Free will and emotion are one of the most important themes of expression in classical music, that's why I love them so much." Nagisa Kaoru extended his hand to Ed on a whim as an invitation, "Want to learn to play the piano?"
CC holds Ed hard enough to keep him from getting up, as if he'll run away if he doesn't. He raised his head and smiled at CC, indicating that she should not be nervous: "I wanted to learn when I was in school, but it was only because I thought it was very handsome. Thinking about it, I still prefer listening, and I have no interest in playing."
"I see." Zhu Xun retracted his outstretched hand and nodded slightly as if he understood something, "I am eager to communicate with others, but also unwilling to express myself, so it is obviously a NewType, yet has such a Geass."
Ed had an uncomfortable feeling of being looked at all over his body.
"You really look like..." Zhu Xun frowned, as if trying to find a suitable metaphor to describe him, and after a while, he spit out such a word, "Human."
Such a strange atmosphere made Ed's whole body uncomfortable, and he tried to change the subject: "Are you coming out too early? I heard that the apostles are going to appear one by one in order?"
"I'm the first apostle, is there any problem with the first one?" Nagisa Xun smiled lightly, "Besides, my birth itself is a kind of joking arrangement, even if I make an early appearance, it is to pursue a better program effect."
Ed pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a key word. But the other party stopped talking at the beginning, which made him very hesitant to ask about your birth.
"Wait, the program effect?" He sharply noticed a key word, "Is anyone watching?"
"The audience is originally a part of the performance, and the actors are just the audience standing on the stage. Who cares?" Zhu Xun raised his head and looked out of the window, his eyes cast through the thick clouds to the boundless universe, "The important thing is , we are not free, there is no way to be free, and there is no hope for freedom.”
"You know?!" Ed can't help but feel a throbbing in his consciousness that is like NT but not like NT, he stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky, "Is it necessary to fight humans to the death? "
"This is my destiny, and maybe it will be yours too." Zhu Xun smiled teasingly at him, "Otherwise, where did you come from so much pressure, you have to rely on your huge sexual desire to dissipate it."
Ed was furious: "You can eat rice indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Xun smiled indifferently, stood up and walked over to Ed, stretched out his hand to support his shoulder on the other side, leaned down and said softly in his ear, "Anyway, I'm very happy to see you, I hope you can find a way the road to freedom."
After saying this, he patted Ed's shoulder lightly, got up and walked out the door without looking back. After a while, only Ed and CC were left in the empty music classroom.
CC felt that he was in a cold sweat and desperately needed to take a shower and change his clothes. She calmed down and asked in a trance, "What the hell is he here for?"
"Come see me," Ed replied affirmatively, "because he doesn't know what he's going to do."
"I didn't understand what he was saying." CC looked at him suspiciously, "Do you understand?"
Ed took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "In a sense, his existence itself is probably very similar to me, so he came to me to find the answer. Unfortunately, my answer belongs only to me, There's no way for him."
CC still didn't understand, but she didn't continue to struggle with this issue, but thought about a more important thing: "You heard it too, I'm a fake."
"What kind of fake?" Ed took her hand gently, motioning her to sit on his lap, "Apostle's?"
"Well." CC sat down obediently, looking a little lost, "I have lost all my previous memories, and Lilith never told me the details, but occasionally called me Crystal, just like you called it before. Say. Maybe I wasn't human in the first place, maybe some kind of man-made or natural monster or something."
"What does that matter?" Ed hugged her. "You are you."
"Don't you feel disgusting?" CC lowered his eyes painfully, "It's this kind of unidentified thing that is kissing your skin, maybe it's not even organic."
"Don't care about the organic and inorganic substances, just be cute!"
"You..." CC struggled for a while, finally shook his head with a smile, and then showed a vigilant expression, "He said you and I made out to relieve stress? Then what am I to you? A toy?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense! What does he know as a single dog?" Ed was very excited to be charged with such a serious charge, "Is it because you are too attractive? I can't control myself at all!"
"Don't make trouble, I didn't let you prove your innocence." CC knocked off his dishonest hand, "I'm sweating."
"What does that matter?" he asked rhetorically. "Does it matter?"
…
"This is very important and concerns the honor of Her Royal Highness Princess Euphemia." Shumu Suzaku looked nervously at Commander Cornelia, "Please let me fight again."
Cornelia weighed it again and again and decided to give her sister a face: "One last chance."
Suzaku got permission to attack, and turned away with high fighting spirit. Along the way, people pointed at him unabashedly from time to time, and the volume of the whispers did not mean to be lowered at all, and some people even greeted him maliciously and said "Hello, former Knights of the Round Table".
"Have you ever heard a sentence, you have the nerve to say that you are an ACE if you haven't won against Suzaku?" I don't know who said this in a loud voice, and everyone laughed happily.
Suzaku walked briskly without changing his face, these onlookers could not influence his behavior and thoughts, and his comprehension only needed Euphemia. He could do anything for Euphemia.
At this moment, a teenager in the uniform of the Knights of the Round Table walked towards him with a blank face, and then passed by, and someone whistled around.
"Sana F. Qingying..." Suzaku said the name in annoyance silently.
He is confident that his strength is definitely above the opponent, but His Majesty the Emperor is very interested in Moment for some reason. In order to help him improve his record and reputation, he does not hesitate to imply that Suzaku took the initiative to lose to the opponent in the MS contest. This made his unattractive record even more ugly, but he had no choice in the system.
As for why it was him and not someone else? Apart from him, the remaining knights of the round table either have aristocratic status or have strong backers, and only he is the best bully. It's just a Japanese. If you lose, you won't lose Britannia's face. Who do you choose if you don't choose him
"I'm naively fantasizing about such a corrupt empire. It's ridiculous, Nanali is right." He muttered to himself in a low, inaudible voice, "Yuffie, only Yuffie and them. It's different, only Yuffie I must..."
Suzaku clenched his fists hard and prepared to attack.
In the previous four-party melee, although the Black Knights were defeated, its leader ZERO still managed to escape with a small group of remnants taking advantage of the chaos caused by heaven and man. Now the Britannia Army has finally figured out where the opponent's stronghold is, and plans to wipe out this group of juniors.
After a period of time, Britannia's MS unit was quietly advancing in an orderly manner in the dark, with Suzaku leading the charge. The security around the Black Knights' stronghold was very weak, and it was easily torn open by the onslaught of the MS troops. Suzaku roamed in it easily and comfortably, reaping the children one by one, as if regaining the confidence of being an ACE.
In less than an hour, this small stronghold was occupied by Britannia, and Suzaku also received a report from his subordinates: "ZERO found! Do you want to take off his mask?"
"Don't act rashly." Suzaku ordered decisively, "Go back first and wait for His Highness Cornelia to decide."
The next step is to bring ZERO to Cornelia, but on the way back, they are accidentally attacked by a small group of troops.
"Londe Bell?" Suzaku looked at the F91 in front of him, shocked, "This is not the same as what we said!"
The plan must never be disrupted, Suzaku manipulated Lancelot, pulled out the beam saber and took the initiative to meet F91, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to retreat first with ZERO.
The troops on both sides stopped their insignificant autonomous shooting to prevent stray bullets from accidentally injuring friendly troops. Lancelot and F91 fought together in front of the two armies. Both machines are highly maneuverable bodies, dazzling and overwhelming.
"I can do it." Suzaku ignored the pain that the muscles were about to be torn, and forced to avoid the attack from the opponent under the acceleration that could kill people, staring at the afterimages in front of her eyes, "Seeing It's gone!"
The beam saber ignored all the afterimages and stabbed into the void where there was nothing. The next moment, F91 appeared at the position where his lightsaber stabbed, and the blade pointed to the reactor.
F91 suddenly turned on the spot, and the beam saber rubbed the reactor and stabbed a hole in front of him, and then slashed Lancelot's arm with a backhand. After a successful blow, F91 retreated and did not pursue the victory.
"You're very good, you have two hits." The other party's voice came from the public channel, "ZERO has gone far, and it is meaningless for us to fight any more."
After leaving this sentence, F91 quickly retreated under the cover of his teammates, and soon there was no shadow of the enemy plane under the night.
"So is this also the actor you arranged? To make everything look more realistic?" Suzaku smacked the control panel in the cockpit angrily, and took deep breaths repeatedly to calm herself down, "For Yuffie, this is all It's for Euphemia..."
It was late at night when he returned to the base.
ZERO was wearing a mask, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was personally escorted to Cornelia. After being instructed by Cornelia, he took off ZERO's mask tremblingly.
"Lelouch, why are you!" Suzaku said with a shocked expression. This expression, this tone, he has rehearsed countless times under the guidance of Nanali, and it is perfect.
Sure enough, Cornelia walked over to Lu Lu Xiu without any doubt, and also showed a surprised look.
Since it was already late at night, besides the three of them, there were only Cornelia's bodyguards in this room. Suzaku changed positions calmly, blocking between Cornelia's bodyguard and Lelouch, so that no one could see Lelouch's face.
Lelouch showed a wicked and charming smile, and the scarlet bird in his eyes lit up: "Sister Cornelia, listen to me..."
Suzaku looked at what was happening in front of him and sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew that he was also controlled by this ability. He didn't remember what order Lelouch gave him, but he only remembered one thing - he was voluntary.
