Chapter 30: The Man Who Didn't Exist

As for how the "insurance measures" were set up, Takeshi didn't understand, and as for how Yuko prevented it from being launched, Takeshi certainly didn't understand either.

But what he understands is that things are really big now.

For example, this world is roughly equivalent to a bus that starts after the "safety measures" are activated, and what Yuko does is not to reverse the bus back to the starting point, but to force it to stop and prevent it from reaching the end.

The consequences of this violent solution are obviously bad, at least, they in the car can feel it most intuitively-

Bang!!!

"Earth, earthquakes......?" Although she lost her vision and ability to walk, Nanali's perception of the outside world did not weaken as a result, but became stronger.

So at the moment when the "world" trembled, she intuitively felt this.

"Probably not." Wu also said vaguely that this kind of "top-down" vibration is not felt by ordinary people.

Only those on the supernatural side of this world can know, and the closer you get to the center of the story, the stronger the feeling.

For example, at this time, in the world of C, His Majesty the Emperor was speechless for a long time at the sword of Akaxia above his head.

After a while, a priest dressed in black clerical clothing came behind the emperor, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the source of the tremor has been determined. ”

"District 11?" The emperor's voice seemed to contain the weight of a mountain, and the priest couldn't help but lower his head a little more.

"Yes."

The Emperor of "......" fell silent again, and he was roughly clear about what was in Area 11, whether it was Clovis's small actions before, or Lelouch and Nanali's hiding place.

But these are small sections, and he only focuses on the person who can be used as a key to control the entire world of C for him-

“.......”

Whispering the witch's name, the Emperor's lion-sharp eyes lingered for a long time on the Akasha Sword overhead.

"Tell Schunezel to let him continue with the EU's affairs, and as for Area 11, just leave it to Clovis and Cornelia."

In the world of C, frozen in the unsinkable twilight, the Emperor's voice stood as if assimilated by the clouds and mist, and stood at a height beyond the reach of the priests, and its majesty was like this sky, eternally above everyone.

The Emperor needs an unstable Area 11, and the false peace hides the undercurrents in corners that his eyes can't reach, and only in the chaos can he catch the witch's whereabouts.

Only one last step away -

That's what the emperor thought, and coincidentally, someone who borrowed the prince's identity also thought so.

There's no doubt that Nanali has some sort of elusive relationship with the world's hidden secrets, but the direct path is blocked by the damn "insurance".

In that case, at least Nanali should be taken away.

"Nanali," Takeya tried to ask, considering his words, "Would you like to go back to your home country?" ”

“......”

My sister didn't answer, but she still understood the meaning of this question.

Although he was sent abroad as a hostage, the 11th District is now part of the empire, and as an orthodox royal child, it is not unacceptable to return to his country.

Even though Lelouch returned the right to inherit the throne to the emperor out of anger, Nanali, who was his sister, was still in a coma at the time, which means that Nanali's inheritance is still valid, and she is still the real princess.

Speaking of this, Wu also thought it was strange that it was his brother Lelouch who was angry with the emperor, but when he was punished, he even counted his sister Nanali in it, which in itself was very wrong.

On this side, Takeya's half brother was slowly persuading Nanali to leave with him, but Mi Lei outside felt as if every minute and second had been extended.

However, Lelouch, who received her contact, did not show up for a long time, which made her even more overwhelmed.

What if Clovis forcibly takes Nanali? Mi Lei thought with a pale face, the other party was the prince of the real brand, and the governor of District 11, Nanali's brother, and it was natural for him to take away his long-lost sister.

But in this case, what should Lelouch do?

The pain and tangle were like overflowing bitter water, and the uneasiness in Mirei's heart was quickly overwhelming her.

And at this moment, Lelouch, who was missed by her, was on the rooftop of this building, and he returned to school as soon as he received Mi Lei's contact, but he was . It's blocked.

"I'd advise you to give up," he said to Lelouch with a blank face: "There's something very wrong with your brother." ”

"Hmph......" Lelouch had a calm face, just staring at it with an inexplicable look.

His Geass can only be effective once against the same person, and since the killed Clovis is fake, then the Clovis in front of him naturally has no resistance to his Geass.

The other party can almost be regarded as coming alone, and there are few guards around him, so if you want to start, this can almost be regarded as the best place, but. But let him give up such a great opportunity...... He needed an explanation.

"Lelouch, you are my contractor, and that's why I don't want you to do such a senseless stupidity." She didn't explain the reason to Lelouch, because even she didn't understand why she felt a strange familiarity with the guy who came with Clovis.

The two confronted each other in silence, and at this moment, Mi Lei's call came again, and after hearing the other party's words, Lelouch quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Clovis left the student council room, and alone.

This time. Without stopping him, Lelouch walked away from the rooftop, he needed to know what the other party had talked to his sister.

It's just that neither of them knows that their location and movements have already been discovered. The nature of the vigilance is the other that has been put on the "cognitive block".

She had already noticed the small movements of "herself" and Lelouch, but she was not in a hurry to explain to Wu Yaya, until the other party left the school with him.

"Why don't you take Nanali with you?", on the way back, he asked Takeya, "Also, aren't you planning to meet with Ashford?" ”

"It's not that simple, I suspect it's not an accident that their siblings were left in District 11, and besides, there is something on the Governor's Mansion side that requires me to go back."

Thinking about all the information he had obtained so far, Takeya seriously asked the witch in front of him: "., Yuko must have you follow me to this place, it's not just as simple as leading the way, what are you here for?" Or rather, what exactly can you do for me? ”

"......" sighed softly, as if he had expected such a question, and calmly answered the other party's question: "Although personally, this trip is just a simple 'tour', but in the agreement I reached with that cherry blossom monster, there is indeed such a special one. ”

"What is it?"

"Help you find the 'non-existent person' hidden in this world."

Ignoring Wu Ye's suspicious gaze, he continued: "I know your story, your world, your experience, and that monster have all told me, but, have you ever thought about it, 'you', is it really as ordinary as you see?" ”

Wu Ye's gaze condensed slightly, and his tone gradually turned cold: "What do you want to say?" ”

"It's a very simple question, there is no shortage of powerful beings in your world, gods, monsters, saints, heroes, but why did that person not choose those powerful characters as the 'protagonists' when creating your world, but chose an 'ordinary' you?"

I learned about Takeya's story from Yuko. There was such a question from the beginning, and maybe the other party also knew it, but he just didn't think about it seriously.

And this is also the words that Yuko hopes to relay through her: "In other words, if you are not as 'ordinary' as you think, then, do you really think that the enemy is only that person? ”

......

......

It was an abandoned factory, and because of the defeat of the war, abandoned buildings can often be found in the slums of District 11, and it is usually used as a shelter for some homeless people, or-

A temporary stronghold for terrorists.

"Hey, I say, newcomer." The one who spoke was a mustache who carried a wine bottle in broad daylight, and even walked staggering because he had drunk too much, and the others seemed to be surprised by this, but they all showed helpless expressions.

The young man he called out to stood up from his chair and responded politely, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Tamaki." ”

"No, didn't your little girlfriend come with you today, hahaha." The mustache, known as Tamaki, hooked the boy's shoulder, as if he was going to say something meaty, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Uh......" The boy was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Really! Jade City! ”

As if sensing the embarrassment of the young man, the red-haired girl hurriedly ran up and pulled the drunken Yucheng off the young man, and asked several other companions to carry him away, while apologetically saying to the latter: "I'm sorry, Yucheng is a little carried away, after all, it is a rare victory." ”

"It's alright, Miss Red Moon." The boy smiled at the red-haired girl, not caring about anything.

"It's all said, just call me Kalian," said the girl, who glanced at the boy curiously and said, "But, what a surprise, Miss Fujiwara didn't come back with you today?" You don't usually stay together, don't you...... Quarreled? ”

"Haha, how can it be, Miss Hongyue, you think too much, I don't have that kind of relationship with Mei Hong."
