In the graveyard, Shirley could no longer suppress her grief. She knelt down in front of the grave that was being filled with soil and sobbed. Behind her, Sei Itō and the others, who were also members of the Student Council, stood there silently and looked at Shirley with concern. Only Luluxiu lowered his head with a gloomy expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, the grave was completely filled, and a trapezoidal tombstone filled with English names was placed in front of the grave. After a moment of silence, the relatives and friends of Shirley's father left the graveyard with Shirley's mother. Only Shirley and the other members of the Student Council remained.
"Um, I'm sorry, Shirley," Karin, who had been hesitating all this time, suddenly said.
"Don't be like that. Why are you apologizing?" Shirley wanted to smile at Karin, but she couldn't bring herself to smile. She could only force a smile. Karin choked at the question and didn't know how to answer. She could only turn her head to the side to avoid Shirley's gaze.
"I also want to say sorry," Levar hurriedly said after Karin apologized. Shirley was stunned again. She then heard Livier continue, "Well, when I was watching the TV during the hotel hijacking incident, I felt that the Black Knights were a little bit cool. The news reports were also a little biased towards them. I also wrote something about Narita's incident on the comments section and said that he was very powerful. Anyway, I'm sorry! "
After saying that, Levar immediately bowed ninety degrees.
"Nothing like that. It's fine." When the kind-hearted Shirley saw that her classmate was feeling guilty because of her, she hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her, "I'm also sorry about Narita's incident …"
But before Shirley could finish, Mi Lei had already reached out and placed her hand on Shirley's shoulder, making her face her. She said worriedly, "Don't say anymore. I'm actually more worried about you. Have you cried properly? If you endure it now, it will be even more painful later. "
"It's okay now. I've cried enough," Shirley lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.
"Too despicable, Black Knights," Vermillion Bird suddenly said in an angry voice. "Zero's method is too despicable. He didn't make any preparations and only wanted to take advantage of the situation. He wanted to win by claiming to be the judge. That won't change anything. It's meaningless to get the wrong result from the wrong process … "
At this moment, Sei Itō, who had been quietly standing at the side, suddenly moved and fiercely punched Black Wood Vermillion Bird's face. He was sent flying.
"Sei Itō!" Everyone in the Student Council exclaimed.
"Pay attention to the situation. This is not the place for you to express your opinions and vent your anger," Sei Itō said indifferently as he looked at Black Wood Vermillion Bird, who was struggling to get up from the ground. Then he turned around and apologized to the other members of the Student Union, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"Well, well." Millie laughed dryly, then said to Shirley, "We should go back. Xia Li is waiting for you in the student council's activity room as usual. So … "
"Mhm." Shirley nodded, her heart filled with warmth.
"Alright, let's go," Mi Lei said to everyone. Only Shirley and Lelouch, who had not spoken since they arrived at the cemetery, were left alone.
On the way back, after everyone separated, Sei Itō said to Karin, who was walking silently beside him, "What's wrong? Do you feel sorry for Shirley? Or are you confused about what you're doing now because of Black Wood Vermillion Bird's words? "
Karin was silent for a moment before she said, "I think this is for justice. I think this is the right thing to do, so I've been fighting until now, so I killed people. But, really, can what we do really change the world? "
Towards the end, Karin's emotions had become agitated. She grabbed Sei Itō's arm with one hand and questioned Sei Itō loudly.
"You've really been brainwashed by Zero's ideology." Sei Itō sighed helplessly, then said to Karin with a serious expression, "You have to remember, there is never justice or evil in war. No matter what kind of coat it is on the outside. Or what caused it. But as long as it's war, there is no right or wrong, only life and death! "
"And whether you can change the world or not doesn't depend on the victory of the war! You have to know that the premise of change is people. Only those who stand in the position of the victor are likely to become reformers who change the world. And you are now walking on the road to victory, a road full of blood and thorns. If you can't even win, what hope do you have to become a reformer? How do you know that the world can't be changed? So in the final analysis, do you want to change the world or not? The only ones who can change the world will always be yourself and the comrades who embark on this road with you. "
"Is that so … is that so …" Karin muttered to herself with complicated feelings.
"Think about why you asked me for the body in the first place. Maybe you'll get the answer you want." Sei Itō reached out and patted Karin's hand that was grabbing his arm. He gently opened it and said as he walked forward.
After a while. Karin, who fell behind Sei Itō, had a determined expression. She quickly walked up to Sei Itō and said, "Thank you, I understand."
"It's nothing. Even without me, Zero will enlighten you, the ace pilot. For him and the Black Knights, your existence is indispensable." Sei Itō smiled.
"Is that so?" Karin looked at Sei Itō beside her in confusion.
"Believe me, absolutely. Why don't we make a bet? "Sei Itō stopped and smiled at Karin beside him.
"What bet?" Karin also stopped and asked.
"Will Zero comfort you the next time we gather?" Sei Itō said with a smile, "If Zero comforts you, then I win. You will be mine from then on. If Zero doesn't comfort you, then you win. You can let me do one thing for you. Of course, the premise is that it is within my ability. "
"I say, you still haven't given up on that inexplicable thought?" Karin sighed helplessly after hearing the bet.
"Not to mention your identity as an ace pilot, I can't give up on your beauty." Sei Itō stretched out his right hand, put his index finger on Karin's chin, and raised her head as he teased.
"Boring." Karin raised her hand and slapped Sei Itō's right hand away. She then turned her head and walked home with a flushed face.
Ito Mori smiled faintly and followed him step by step …
At noon, the two had lunch separately and gathered near the laboratory at the agreed time. Then, Sei Itō, who had an identity card, led Karin into the laboratory, retrieved the renovated Red Lotus Two, and went to the new secret base near Heng Bin.
Shortly after they arrived, Zero, the leader of the Black Knights, came to the secret base …
After that, they discussed the matter of the Nippon Liberation Front fleeing overseas. Although Shan Yao subconsciously wanted to assist the Nippon Liberation Front made up of pure Japanese, under Zero's reminder, she remembered that she was a member of the Black Knights. In the end, Shan Yao, who recognized her position, agreed to Zero's plan and decided to attack Cornelia's troops at night.
Next was the preparation time for the Black Knights. All kinds of arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner under Zero's plan. In the blink of an eye, it was night …
Although Karin seemed to have been enlightened by Sei Itō during the day and reaffirmed her beliefs, she still wanted to hear the answers to some questions from Zero's mouth. Therefore, as one of the few members of the Black Knights who had nothing to do, Karin got up and found Zero in another warehouse.
"It seems that I won." After a while, Sei Itō, with his hands on his chest and his back leaning against the wall of the warehouse, said to Karin, who had just walked out of the warehouse where Zero was.
"Phew, you scared me." Karin, who was startled by the sudden voice, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who the speaker was. She then snapped, "So what? I didn't agree to your bet."
After that, Karin went straight back to the Red Lotus Two Styles and stayed there.
After a long while, the appointed time arrived. Suddenly, a violent explosion came from the port not far from the warehouse. A huge white water column more than ten meters high suddenly appeared in the air, and then quickly fell down, stirring up a noisy "hua hua" sound.
However, unlike what Zero had said in advance, the Black Knights didn't immediately attack after Cornelia launched her attack. Instead, they coldly watched as Cornelia's troops carried out a clean-up operation on the Japanese liberation front, using the excuse that they weren't prepared and would be suppressed if they rashly attacked.
In order to reduce the possibility of being exposed during the escape, the ships the Nippon Liberation Front took were not equipped with any weapon systems except for armed soldiers and a ship full of liquid cherry stones. Therefore, under the attack of Cornelia's troops, they quickly gave up resistance and surrendered. It was just that Cornelia showed no signs of agreeing at all and continued to attack. She also sent the knightmare troops to board the fleeing ships of the Nippon Liberation Front.
Just as the last Knightmare stepped onto the ship, a dazzling pink light suddenly lit up from the bottom of the sea. Then, it expanded at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dazzling ball of light that was as huge as the sun. It swallowed the escaping ship and the Knightmare on it. The shockwave caused by the violent explosion created a strong hurricane on the surface of the sea. The strong gale blew away the knightmare who was standing near the port. At the same time, the seawater continued to surge towards the port under the strong gale.
