#324 - Chapter 319

The plot extends further.

Because Karen transfers to become a classmate, Lelouch hatches a plan, using her as a bridge between himself and the anti-Britannia Empire organization in Area 11, the Tokyo region.

First, Lelouch conceals his true identity and contacts Karen under the alias Zero.

Of course, in the process, Karen also suspects whether her classmate is the mysterious person who commanded their revolutionary army in a decisive battle against Britannia a few days ago and achieved a great victory.

However, several attempts to probe him are resolved by Lelouch, who is well-prepared.

As Chu Yi watches, his interest is piqued.

What kind of drama exactly does Su Yan want to film?

Lelouch, an ordinary student, with no money, no soldiers, no status, and no prestige, only possesses the Geass ability given to him by an unknown green-haired girl. How will he achieve the main goal of this work?

Overthrow the Britannia Empire, which occupies half of the world's territory and is, according to the setting, the most powerful country in human history?

Relying on this ragtag revolutionary army in Area 11 of Japan?

From a setting perspective, in the war a few years ago, a million troops from Area 11 were defeated and surrendered by the Britannia Empire's mecha army. What's the use of giving Lelouch control of these remnants?

The essence of all cultural and entertainment works is a battle of wits between the creator and the reader. At least for Lelouch, Chu Yi can only think of Lelouch using his Geass ability to control the Britannia Empire's emperor.

But the problem is, the answer can be clearly thought of, but the process of how to meet the emperor is the most difficult thing in this drama!

While Chu Yi is still thinking, the plot continues to advance.

The corrupt Britannia Empire army, in order to quell the news of Prince Clovis's murder, directly makes Lelouch's friend Suzaku a scapegoat, pushing the blame onto Suzaku, and then preparing to publicly execute him.

If this were reality, Chu Yi would definitely choose to betray his friend, and with tears in his eyes, vow to avenge Suzaku after his death, and then, as time passes, forget his oath.

But this is a TV series, and Lelouch is not him. When Lelouch sees his childhood friend being persecuted to take the blame for him, his first reaction is anger.

The second reaction is to save him.

Plots that exceed ordinary people's imagination are the reason why ordinary people watch this drama.

From here, a subtle atmosphere appears in this drama.

When Lelouch, wearing a black cloak and a black sealed helmet, not showing his true face, but appearing as Zero to Karen and her group of revolutionary army core members on the subway.

Chu Yi is already getting excited.

Men are children until they die.

When they were young, they liked Kamen Rider and Ultraman.

When they grow up, they like Batman, Spider-Man, the Joker, and of course, Zero.

In fact, Su Yan himself has already discovered that until he transmigrated from his previous life, the popular works for decades have all been the same, including the very popular Attack on Titan, which is essentially a variant of Ultraman, just one that eats people.

The way the story is told and the plot may be different, but how to attract the audience, some things are actually consistent.

In Su Yan's previous life, these things could attract hundreds of millions of people around the world, in Xia Country, in several countries where it was broadcast abroad, and among the audience of NK Net, the second largest online broadcasting platform overseas, it was the same.

Unconsciously, the distracting thoughts in Chu Yi's head disappeared.

Facing Karen and her revolutionary army core members questioning why he doesn't dare to show them his true face.

[Showing you my face is meaningless. Letting you see my power is what matters! What makes you believe in me is not what I look like, but that I can turn the impossible into possible.]

Chu Yi's expression is strange.

It's clear that Lelouch needs someone to help him save Suzaku and wants to find some cannon fodder.

Why can he always package what he wants to do and make others think they are taking advantage of him?

But, I like it.

Although the lines are cheesy, they look very cool.

After Lelouch, disguised, meets with Karen's revolutionary army friends, the plot comes to a climax in this episode.

The public execution of Lelouch's friend, Suzaku Kururugi.

The streets along the way are full of onlookers, just like in ancient feudal empires where criminals were executed in the marketplace and some people would scold them.

Escorting Suzaku is an entire unit of mecha, with tanks leading the way, fighter jets blocking the airspace, and thousands of fully armed soldiers guarding against possible dangers in front, with huge robots ten meters high slowly driving on the wide streets.

In the realistic special effects, when the camera shows the army escorting Suzaku passing by, Chu Yi feels a suffocating sense of oppression.

Knowing it's just a TV series, the sense of despair is too obvious.

The Britannia Empire in this drama not only dominates the planet in the drama, but if it were on Blue Star, where Xia Country is located, it is estimated that it would unify the planet in no more than three months, right?

Then, the climax of this episode appears.

At the moment when Suzaku Kururugi is about to be executed.

Lelouch and Karen, whom he temporarily recruited through seductive words, and a few revolutionary army partners drive the armored car, which they stole in the first episode and is rumored to be a poison gas tank car, but is actually loaded with the green-haired girl, to the execution site.

Chu Yi's eyes widen.

"What the hell? Is the plot this direct?"

Just as Chu Yi is still thinking about how Lelouch is going to save Suzaku, he didn't expect him to be so direct.

Then, Lelouch, in front of hundreds of media outlets at the execution site and in the global live broadcast to various countries, wearing that sealed spherical helmet, wearing a black cloak and tights, appearing in front of the world as Zero, Chu Yi, who is not introverted, has already started curling his toes.

But not because he is too embarrassed by the strong sense of immersion, but because of excitement, guilt, and fear.

He has a strong sense of immersion and has already begun to enjoy Lelouch's feeling of being in the spotlight in the plot, but he really can't figure out how to escape.

After all, it's really cool to put on a big show, but the premise is that it succeeds.

Otherwise, it's just making a big mess.

The plot of Lelouch is like this now.

Lelouch announces that he is the one who killed Governor Clovis.

And says it in front of a group of globally live-streaming reporters.

Then, he announces the poison gas tank car behind him.

Nothing is wrong, nothing is first, nothing is inside, nothing is contained, nothing is looked at!

Only the murdered Clovis knows that there is no poison gas in this car, but everyone else, including the army at the execution site, thinks that there is poison gas inside, and once released, the entire city will be slaughtered, and no one in the scene can escape.

?

"Can it be like this?" Chu Yi blinked.

Lelouch is deceiving the heavens!

It doesn't matter whether things are true or false, as long as others think it's true, then the power of this poison gas tank car is the same as if it were real!

But the commander in the plot can't let Lelouch go because of this kind of thing.

The existence of the poison gas tank car only prevents Lelouch from being shot into a hornet's nest in the first place, but after announcing that he is the one who killed the prince, he still wants to run? It's not that simple?

At this time, Lelouch proposes to have a face-to-face meeting with the commander to discuss some conditions, and the commander has no choice but to accept, after all, Lelouch has the lives of everyone present as a bargaining chip, he can't ignore it.

Seeing this, Chu Yi realizes.

Damn, Geass.

So this thing is used like this!

This thing is indeed very strong, but it is meaningless to control a few miscellaneous soldiers. The Britannia Empire has millions of troops, and Lelouch can't control them all in a lifetime.

Moreover, the Geass ability can only be specific orders, it is impossible to order others to be your slaves for life, and the ability is also limited.

So the best way for Lelouch to use this power is to create an opportunity to meet with the enemy's leader or key figures around the leader through schemes, and then implement key strategic links through the Geass command.

Lelouch created this opportunity, opened the eye mask on the helmet, and directly gave the commander an order, and then Lelouch and his recruited revolutionary army ran away directly in front of a bunch of Britannia troops, but the enemy commander ordered not to pursue.

Chu Yi laughed and slapped his thigh at this anti-intellectual plot.

Everyone in the plot probably thinks that this commander was blackmailed by Lelouch's words!

But in fact, he can't control himself!

As for the later part of this drama, Suzaku is rescued, but because he wants to die gloriously and cleanly, he is unwilling to bear the criminal charges of escape and chooses to continue to return to the Britannia army.

Chu Yi frowned.

That's right, Area 11 people are already discriminated against by the empire. If he, as an Area 11 person who joined the Britannia army, can't clear the blame for killing the prince, it will only affect the living space of his compatriots after being colonized.

His choice is correct, but it's too boring.

To put it bluntly, it's just going to his death, but whether it has an effect depends on whether the enemy has compassion, putting all the choices in the hands of the enemy is a seemingly just, but actually foolish act.

But thinking of the character Shirou Emiya, the two have similar personalities, even the actors are the same person.

"Alas, the old thief always has these stubborn people. Forget it..."

The ending song sounds.

Chu Yi exhales a long breath.

This is the first time he has this feeling, it's so enjoyable to watch.

And this episode, the plot density is so high.

Although some of the lines in the process have a sense of shame, but... that feeling is also one of the joys of chasing this drama.

There are many viewers like Chu Yi, although many of them are not young.

But the essence of their inner chuunibyou and passion is only hidden, and when they encounter this kind of well-produced work that matches their wavelength, they are immediately ignited.
