Lelouch was frightened by Lin Yiyan's words, and after being slightly distracted, Lelouch asked again, "So terrifying?" Lin Yiyan didn't speak, just nodded,

Next, there was a silence, the two didn't know what they were thinking, only the sound of chess pieces constantly falling, but soon, Lin Yiyan suddenly said, "I'm going to go to EU!" ”

“eu？” Lelouch was stunned and asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to go there?" ”

"Go and hold off the battle line on the EU side!" Lin Yiyan said slowly, "It takes time to climb technology here, and it takes time to climb technology, and what we lack most is time!" ”

"Is it because of Cornelia?" Lelouch glanced at Lin Yiyan deeply and said, "I remember that Cornelia seems to be managing the EU front, right?" ”

"That's right! Go see your sister known as the 'Valkyrie of the Battlefield', Cornelia! Lin Yiyan said with a smile, "And the Knights of the Round Table!" ”

"I see! When do you plan to depart? Lu Luxiu looked at Lin Yiyan and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's not settled yet!" Lin Yiyan glanced at Lu Luxiu, and then glanced at C.C., who was lying on the bed eating pizza, and slowly said, "Before leaving, I need to solve a trouble for you, of course, maybe it's also my trouble!" ”

"Trouble?" Lelouch wondered.

"Yes!" Lin Yiyan took a deep look at C.C., and continued to speak, "Another contractor of C.C., Mao! Lin Yiyan's answer surprised the movements in the hands of C.C., who was eating pizza, and Lelouch was surprised.

Lelouch glanced at C.C., looked at Lin Yiyan's face and asked, "Do you know what his Geass ability is?" Also, how do you know he's coming to us? ”

"It's easy!" Lin Yiyan didn't seem to pay attention to C.C.'s expression at all, and said with a smile, "He's coming for C.C.!" As for geass, it's mind reading! Because the geass can't be turned off, he can listen to the thoughts of those around him. ”

"In addition, this time the battle is so big!" Lin Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "He got the core of this battle very easily, you know!" Clovis is fighting this time, and the bait we use can be c.c.! ”

Lu Luxiu glanced at Lin Yiyan and C.C., and silently stared at the chessboard without speaking, because Lu Luxiu knew that Lin Yiyan still had something to say, and sure enough, Lu Luxiu heard Lin Yiyan speak, "Speaking of which, this kid is also a poor person, and he was also a kind person before!" It's just a pity...... Geass's rampage directly drove him crazy! ”

"Need my help?" After a moment of silence, Lelouch asked.

"No, you don't!" Lin Yiyan shook his head and said, "I'll be on my own!" I'll take the blame for C.C.! Of course ......" Then, Lin Yiyan changed the topic, looked at Lelouch and continued, "You can't be idle at the moment, when I go to EU!" ”

I only heard Lin Yiyan look at Lu Luxiu and instructed, "In addition to Anxin Pan Technology, I also need Lu Luxiu to take the initiative to contact some nobles in Britannia, nobles like Mi Lei!" You know what I mean! Lin Yiyan's words made Lu Luxiu stunned, but he quickly understood what Lin Yiyan meant, and nodded directly without hesitation, "I understand!" ”

Then, Lelouch picked up a chess piece and put it down, and said leisurely, "Checkmate!" Hearing these words, Lin Yiyan was slightly stunned, looked down at the chessboard, shook his head speechlessly and said, "It's really, this thing is really not fun, or Go is a little more interesting!" ”

“…… You've already lost anyway! Although Lin Yiyan always beats Lelouch in other places, being able to win against Lin Yiyan in chess is also a very rewarding thing for Lelouch! Then, Lu Luxiu stretched, looked at Lin Yiyan and said, "There is not much time, I will go back to rest first!" ”

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Lin Yiyan, who was staring at the chessboard unhappily, waved his hand and drove Lu Luxiu out. Lelouch had a dark expression, and when he passed by C.C., he glanced at the other party, and then opened the door and left.

After Lelouch left, Lin Yiyan and C.C. looked at each other silently, and finally, C.C. slowly spoke, "Are you going to kill him?" ”

"......" Lin Yiyan was silent for a while, then looked at his hands, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes!" ”

"Why?" Some didn't understand C.C. Lin Yiyan looked at the snow-white ceiling, sighed deeply, and said, "I don't know either!" Maybe it's just a simple desire to protect you! After speaking, Lin Yiyan looked at C.C. and smiled, "Although you always act cold, I know you very well!" c.c.！ Know you very well! You are a very kind person......"

"You don't know my ......," C.C. said slowly, with a cold expression, "I abandoned that child like a rag!" At that time! He just wants to be by my side......"

"Is that really the case?" Lin Yiyan glanced at C.C. with a little meaning. Facing Lin Yiyan's slightly meaningful eyes, C.C. fell into contemplation and reminiscence......

C.C. met that kid 11 years ago. On a filthy street corner in the cold rain, wrapped in discarded newspapers, there was no one around. The child was shivering from the cold and hunger.

She could tell at a glance that he had that kind of "qualifications". In terms of pure talent, he may be even stronger than the current contractor, Lelouch. Even in the memories of C.C., who has spent a long time and no longer has any concept of time, he is a prominent presence. It is an unexplored rough stone...... This is a true fact.

――geass。

Absolute power beyond the common sense of the world. The current contractor, Lelouch, has the power to "dominate others". And that child's power is "perception". GEASS will have different characteristics depending on the qualifications of the contractor.

Although it is the task of the C.C. to give the contractor an opportunity. But C.C. gives more than just power. As a result, the power of geass will also take on different characteristics depending on the contractor. Is this because of different qualifications? Even C.C. doesn't know. Maybe it's because of the genetic differences in the soul of the contractor, but for a soulless c.c., it's a difficult principle to explain. This is because even if C.C. is affected by the power of the contractor's geass, it will not be affected by its effects.

Of course, the same is true for that child. His ability is to perceive, to be able to read the minds of all those who live in this world. If there's anyone he can't read, it's C.C. Because C.C. is the same being as Him.

…… This is where the destruction begins.

As seen at first, the child was extremely rare and possessed the potential to acquire GEASS abilities. But......

This perfection was eventually ruined.

She had already noticed that Mao's abilities didn't seem to be limited to humans.

No, it's a matter of course. C.C. also instructs to some extent that a person with superpowers who have the power of geass that can affect the spirit of others cannot have a role in living beings other than humans. Although I haven't tried it, the current contractor, Lelouch, should be the same. However, he, the seven-year-old boy named Mao, was much more powerful. So she had asked him about the right time, at the right time, in the right place, when there was a proper presence around him.

A mongrel dog. It's called "tapir". Teenagers are quite fond of it.

"Mao, can you know what the tapir is thinking?" Young Mao shook his head and replied to C.C.'s question.

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"I don't understand what it's saying. However, this is because tapirs can't speak. So I don't know what it's thinking. ”

"So you can still read its mind?"

"Hmm~...... But I still don't understand. Still, you see. The boy stroked the brown dog's head and smiled happily. The dog also rubbed him intimately, wagging its tail desperately.

"When the tapir is happy or sad, it tells me with its body. And I can't be mistaken. In the end, C.C. didn't solve the doubts in his heart. But at least one thing she can confirm.

-- He is indeed able to win the favor of animals.

Animals don't lie. No matter what kind of training the dog has undergone, it will be the first to show it bluntly when it is in a good mood or when it is bad. And those who are good at observation naturally understand. That is, there is no difference between them on the inside and outside.

Because of this, for Mao, animals are a reassuring existence. Because they are different from people, they neither disguise themselves nor hide their hearts. At that time, C.C. wanted to tell Mao the reason why he was close to the animal until the tapir died...... No, it was the day he was killed.

The tapir was hit by a car and died. And Mao rushed up and beat the driver who got out of the car. Although at first, the other party's attitude was not bad, but he sincerely planned to apologize to them, and repeatedly said sorry to Mao and C.C. But Mao was still extremely angry.

At that time, C.C. could understand Mao's mood very well.

(Ah~Ah)

(How could you encounter such an unlucky thing)

(Obviously, it was the stupid dog who ran over and sent him to death)

(I'm not responsible.)

(This dog is owned by someone, so it shouldn't make me lose money, right?) ）

(Fortunately, the other party is a child)

(Just say a little nice thing, and it should be fine.) It's not worth breaking the bill for a dog...... (To be continued.) )
