Chapter 158 Suspended Death

(I'm going to roll home mellow tonight, I'll update next month to see how it goes... Honestly underpowered..)

Knocking on the door was just a polite gesture, but the door was not locked.

Ling Yi opened the door and walked in. The room was completely dark. It was a room similar to a ktv box. You could also see a small bar, a ball table, and a long sofa. But now it was already dark outside the hotel, but here There was no light on.

If someone is in the room, there are only three possibilities, one is to roll off to sleep, the other is to be bored, and the last one——

"Stay still, put your hands up."

A cold voice came from the side.

I can't tell the difference between men and women, obviously I used a voice changer.

Ling Yi glanced lightly, the black muzzle of the gun was pointing at his temple, seeing this he raised his hands without any resistance.

The gunman was dressed in a strange way, with a black cloak covering his whole body, almost blending in with his surroundings.You can't make out the face because the man is wearing a weird helmet, like a motorcycle driver's safety helmet, but with a more refined look.

This gesture has a lot in common with the terrorist leader who appeared on TV not long ago, and it doesn't matter if it is the same person.

At this moment, Ling Yi smelled the smell of blood, which came from the room. His eyes swept over quickly, and then he found several soldiers lying in a pool of blood, and the most unbelievable thing was that the soldiers sitting on the sofa The young man also died.

If I guessed correctly, this should be Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe.

However, he actually killed himself with the saber he carried with him.

Is this still an officer of the righteous Japanese Liberation Front?No, maybe suicide is not against their morals, but in this case, it is difficult for people to understand the situation.

"Zero..? I didn't expect you to kill Lieutenant Colonel Kusakabe. Are you planning to surrender to Britannia?"

The almost teasing tone made Zero slightly puzzled, and suddenly she realized that the person in front of her looked familiar, so she took a closer look——

"'Spiritual'? Why are you here?"

she couldn't help asking.

Although she knew that Ling Yi served in the Britannia military, she never expected to meet under such circumstances. <Is it the ability given to you?Otherwise, with the thoughts of these stubborn guys, even if they choose to perish together, they will not choose to commit suicide. "There was a hint of sarcasm in Ling Yi's words, and he didn't know who he was mocking.

"You know a lot."

"More or less."

"Then it's my turn to ask, why are you here?"

During the speech, the gun in Zero's hand has not been put down.

It can be seen that the relationship between her and Ling Yi is not very friendly.

"Of course I was desperate to save the hostages. You must know that I am a soldier now."

Ling Yi said flatly.

"...Only you?"

"No, there are many more."

"I want the specific number and the location of the personnel."

"Who knows that?"

Ling Yi smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Zero frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

To be honest, if it is true that as Ling Yi said, many people sneaked into the hotel to rescue the hostages, it will have a great impact on her next plan.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated.

The left hand reached out to the left eye under the mask, and pressed a small switch, revealing the left eye.

In that--

A wonderful imprint emerges.

eyeball.

In the eyeball.

As if eroding in from the inside, it spread in Zero's originally clear pupils.

It was a mark like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

The light produced from the depth of the left eye has a strange red glow.

Then, she ordered quietly.

"tell me."

moment.

The world is turned upside down.

Everything in reality is gone with the wind, turning into a strange and enigmatic peace.Resolve all contradictions and rebuild an ideal world that is like a double-sided mirror and cannot be understood by all consciousness of reality.

This is neither heaven nor hell.The sea is harder than diamonds, and the stars are darker than night.Right and wrong replace and entangle each other.Only a supremely noble person is crying, and the chaos that has existed since birth is quietly soaking away into the infinite universe. <. Gives the power of zero.

Only this one time.No matter who it is, they will obey any order issued by Zero.The formula to destroy the world.

Its name is - geass.

The firebird with spread wings flew into Ling Yi's pupils.

Zero continued.

"Tell me everything you know about Cornelia's plans."

"...Unidentified mental fluctuations were detected, listed as a third-level processing item, and the automatic defense function was activated...The interception was successful, the host should be more careful."

Although Ling Yi felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, the system in his body reacted faster than him. When his vision gradually turned red, a series of alarms sounded in his mind, and the inorganic cold mechanical speech pulled his mind away. Back to reality.

"..."

Ling Yi narrowed his eyes. Even though he predicted things like a god, he couldn't guess the true face of Zero's ability. Based on her words, it should be similar to mind control and hypnotic suggestion in magic. Is it permanent control or temporary control? In short, such an ability is indeed a bug in modern society.

Especially, by surprise.

When you don't know anything, it's perfectly normal to be recruited. .

However, Zero would never guess that Ling Yi still has a system in his body.

This is the first time Ling Yi has heard of the automatic defense function. At present, it seems to be the automatic defense of the system. If it is really a capability such as mind control, it will definitely affect the system.

But it is absolutely impossible to say that it is to protect him.

After all, the system is not designed to produce a lucky guy who never faces a crisis.

"Huh? Don't you know?"

At this time, Zero murmured to himself in confusion.

It seems that Ling Yi's silence aroused her suspicion.

Hearing this, Ling Yi has a plan in mind.

.........

at the same time.

Special base vehicle.

"What? The Great Japanese Celestial Party?"

When Suzaku asked about the name, Cecil, who was staring at the laptop in the camp, gave an 'hmm' and nodded solemnly.

"Although there are not many members, they are quite famous in this district. This is because..."

"I know that they are said to be a radical group whose goal is to exterminate all Britannia."

The organization's methods are also quite brutal.It is an organization engaged in terrorist activities that does not choose the target of sniping at all just for its own assertion.Regardless of whether the target is a civilian or not, as long as it is a Britannian, they will be killed without exception.

It's hopeless -- Suzaku thought so.No, not just this terrorist group.As long as it is about this kind of terrorist activity, he maintains this view.

Do they want to go back to seven years ago?

The war-torn era when human life was thinner than paper——

Moreover, Suzaku whispered in his heart, in fact, the so-called war is not something that can simply end with victory or defeat.Especially for the people of the defeated country, the more tragic beginning is after the victory is decided, that is, after the war.In the past seven years, Suzaku has seen enough of this ugliness, and never wants to face it a second time... never again.

Seven years have now passed.The eleventh district finally got rid of the extreme chaos after the war and temporarily entered a stable state.

Of course, considering the hotel being hijacked and the Shinjuku incident not long ago, it is too much to say that it is stable.

What are these people trying to do?Don't they know that in the end it will be the same as it was seven years ago?These people may have misunderstood the meaning of so-called patriotism,

Suzaku thought, this is really too stupid.

Means of saving everything with power.

Anyway, the result is already known.

"Mr Suzaku?"

The sudden call brought Suzaku back to reality.

Although I usually act directly without using my brain, once I start thinking, the time for contemplation is quite long.This is also my own quirk.

Pulling the zipper of the flight suit down to the neck, drawing air from the wrists so that the clothes fit tightly to the body, Suzaku turned to Cecil while changing clothes.

"—I'm sorry. However, His Royal Highness Cornelia asked the special dispatch to deal with the Great Japanese Heavenly Party, which makes me somewhat puzzled."

"Well, it's not surprising for you to think so, but now Zero is inside the hotel, and His Royal Highness Euphemia is also there. Her Royal Highness Cornelia will be unable to leave for a while, so I can only send General Dalton, which happens to not belong to the special mission. The regular army, they may be thinking of 'there is no need to waste too much force'."

"But why at this time..."

And at this moment, someone suddenly inserted a sentence from the side.

"I'm afraid that Zero and the Japanese Liberation Front will make Her Majesty Cornelia inseparable, so I took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Even so, I think this is just superficial information."

The sound came from above the base vehicle.

Sitting slantingly on the roof of the car was a man with glasses looking up at the night sky.What he was wearing was not a military uniform, but a white coat like a researcher's, and the feet that dangled back and forth were also very slender as if they had not been trained.Although he is tall, he is not a muscular man.

Moreover, there is a pair of rimless glasses on his fair face, but he does not give people the shrewd and capable feeling like Gilford who also wears glasses, but he gives people the feeling of being stuck in the research institute. nerdy impression.

However, despite this, he is an out-and-out soldier with a high rank.

The name is Lloyd Asbrew.

He is the director of the Special Dispatch Guide Technical Department that Suzaku and Cecil belong to.

"What does it mean?"

To Suzaku's question, Lloyd replied while still looking happily at the sky.

"Well~ it means literally. While some dead ghosts are attracting attention, they take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. Isn't this the usual method of terrorists?"

There was no tension in the man's voice at all.Of course, there is no such thing as a sense of tragedy.

"Hey, let's make a simple guess. The so-called Great Japanese Cangtian Party is quite famous for its thorough ideological education of its members, right? So their members can carry out bomb terrorist attacks as if nothing happened, so It would be easier to target other places than to target the Rectory with a terrorist attack."

"You mean..."

"Two big fish, one in the hotel and the other in the Tokyo Concession, what should we do? Of course, we should send people there quickly. They don't know such a simple truth."

Cecil realized the importance of these words earlier than Suzaku.

She immediately changed face.

"—Wait a minute. Then His Majesty Cornelia asked General Dalton to go with us...Isn't it going to..."

"Ambush on the way, probably."

Speaking like this, Lloyd's smile appeared a little serious for the first time.

"That's unfortunate."

Shaking his head exaggeratedly, Lloyd easily jumped off the roof.

It looks weak, but unexpectedly agile.

With a mischievous gleam in Lloyd's eyes behind his glasses, he looked up at the parked base vehicle.

"Oh! I don't care what I do, but if I can activate this Lancelot, everything will be fine, and it will be settled!"

In an instant, Cecil's expression changed.

"...You mean this incident."

"what do you mean?"

Cecil sighed at Lloyd's playfulness.

"...Even if there is an order to attack, can we really attack?"

"Aha, exposed. Of course. Governor Cornelia—whether she is good or bad, she is a typical Britannian after all, and General Dalton is probably the same."

That is, the person representing Britannia.

Why didn't Cornelia order the special guide technology department to attack when she was conducting military operations?

Needless to say, the factors that determine the surname are Suzaku, Special Mission, and the Shinjuku Incident.

By the way, although this department, which is usually referred to simply as 'Special Mission', is formally under the jurisdiction of the eleventh district ruling army, in fact it can be seen from its name that it is actually a force directly under the country.Someone with higher power than Cornelia in the country's high-level not only agreed with the existence of the special mission, but even did not allow the princess to control the troop with her own will.

Cornelia was rather dissatisfied with this.

Therefore, it is difficult to have a good face.

Although they have not been treated coldly or persecuted, they will definitely not be treated as 'our own army'.Just stay in the army, and I will never reuse it—this is Cornelia's consistent attitude.

"We wouldn't have had a chance to fight if we weren't directly attacked. I really want to get Lancelot's battle data, but I can't act now... Simply put, it's meaningless. "

"So~ we don't care if it makes sense or not. According to what you said, isn't it possible for us to be directly attacked? Can't we create a little chaos for them?"

Having said that, the base vehicle still mixed into the small group of troops and left Kawaguchiko quietly.

Suzaku watched the night outside through the car window.

Cecil said that no matter what unexpected things may happen, it is also possible to give an order to attack here.

It would be good to keep the status quo - Suzaku thought.

However, Suzaku was very concerned about Lloyd's words just now.

As he said, there are indeed many incomprehensible aspects of this battle.

And somehow there is an ominous premonition.

What is this premonition?

Before we figure it out, maybe it's better to keep the current standby state.

In fact, there were others in the military who felt the same way as Suzaku.

That man named Andre Dalton was only a lieutenant under Governor Cornelia of the eleventh district.

Of course Dalton knew more about this battle than Suzaku.

In short, the purpose of this operation is not just to defeat the terrorists, but to draw out their forces as much as possible, and then wipe them out in one go. Even if they can't be wiped out, we must find their bases and find opportunities to encircle and suppress them. .

However, it was chosen at this time, which has to make people think about it.

Hotel suite.

zero.. No, Luluko took off her helmet and stared suspiciously at the young man in front of her.That beautiful and refined face is still heart-wrenching.

"A rescue team composed of 30 people? Impossible. Although this group of wastes are pedantic in thinking, they are at least passable in terms of force, otherwise they would not be able to resist tenaciously under Britannia's vigorous siege. But Geass will not make mistakes , It has been tested many times, and it is impossible to lie. So...is this another battle plan in Cornelia? This group of trash is really unreliable."

She cursed inwardly.

But so far, the plan can only go ahead.

As for the person in front of him, Geass might not be effective next time, so he might as well take advantage of this time to kill him.

As Luluzi thought, a chill flashed across her eyes.

'Lingyi', the largest underground intelligence agency in the Tokyo Concession, ceased to exist after today.

So, without any hesitation, she aimed several shots at Ling Yi who was in a 'absent mind' state, all of which hit the upper body. Such a short distance, even if the bullets missed the vital parts, the bullets could still penetrate the abdominal cavity and damage the internal organs. In the end, he would die Excessive bleeding.

Ling Yi let out a muffled grunt after being shot, and fell to the ground clutching his wound.

"Although we met once, you even saved my life. But in order to prevent you from telling Cornelia the intelligence resources and my true face... I'm sorry."

Luluzi looked at Ling Yi who was lying on the ground with complicated eyes, bit her lip, and finally put on the helmet again and left the room ruthlessly.

Although I don't know why the Japanese Cangtian Party suddenly came to cooperate with them, but since they want to fight against the Britannian army, then let them go, as long as they can ensure the smooth progress of their own plan.

It doesn't matter how many chess pieces die.

Wang can go to the end and survive.

Well, that's victory. .

............

The temporary combat headquarters of the Great Japanese Cangtian Party is in an inconspicuous building in the Tokyo Concession.

"The investigation results are here. The target has already set off and is expected to arrive in half an hour."

"Continue to investigate and report at any time. Other personnel remain on standby."

At this time, another trusted aide came to report the information, and the man sitting on the chair frowned upon hearing this.

"Did Cornelia really not come? ...But forget it, Dalton is still a big fish, at least he is the number two person today."

The man who said this was a burly man named Kikluf Murat.

He was the chief of the Central Military Bureau of the Eleventh District, and the third most important person in Clovis' tenure as governor.However, with the arrival of Cornelia, the use of iron and blood to rectify the interior made him suffer unspeakably.

If she doesn't take this opportunity to give her a hard blow, Murat suspects that she will lose her position in a few days. (To be continued.)
