When Sei Itō returned to Nippon, the Black Knights had already started fighting with Cornelia's troops. After all, the main means of transportation for the Britannia's combat troops was the air force. With the air force's almost unhindered transportation ability, it would take at most 20 minutes to get here from the Tokyo Concession. Unlike Sei Itō, who had to cross bridges, rivers, and tunnels, the Black Knights didn't have to worry about anything.
However, at this time, the situation of the [Black Knights] was not very good. Because of Ito Sei's intervention, and without Euphemia's massacre of the Japanese people, the riots that were stirred up by rumors were not stable, and the number of people who participated was not a lot. It was not to the point where the whole country was against the Japanese like the original novel. Without the support of the masses, the Britannia could only rely on themselves to resist. For the Britannia, it was like hitting a rock with an egg. What's more, the leader of the Britannia was Cornelia, who was calm on the surface but angry on the inside. It was easy to imagine the impact on the Black Knights. In the end, after an hour of fierce fighting, the Black Knights abandoned the Nippon that they had just occupied and used the secret channel provided by Kirihara Mining to escape the battle.
"I'm late." Looking at the battlefield that was still sporadic, Sei Itō, who was standing next to the car door, sighed. "But fortunately, the soul power hasn't been recovered by the collective will. It's worth the price of the ticket."
After a while, Sei Itō completely absorbed the soul energy of more than a thousand people floating in the air above the Nippon Administrative Special Zone.
"Let's go see Zero." Sei Itō sat back in the car and turned the car around. Then, he took out his Bluetooth headset and put it on his ear. He dialed Karin's number.
"Beep ~" The call was quickly picked up.
"Sei Itō?" Karin was a little surprised and hesitant.
"It's me. Why, are you surprised that I contacted you? "Sei Itō chuckled as he drove.
"I'm a little surprised. Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Karin admitted without hesitation.
"Where are you now?" Ito Sei put away his smile and asked in a low voice.
"What are you going to do?" Karin did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked vigilantly.
"I need to see Zero." Sei Itō said indifferently.
"I can't make this decision. Wait a moment. I'll ask Zero, "Karin said.
"Sure, I'll wait for you," Sei Itō said. Then, a series of footsteps could be heard from the phone … A moment later, a few faint voices of conversation could be heard. Then, Karin's voice sounded in Sei Itō's ears again. "We are now near the shipping warehouse of Yokohama XX harbor. Call me when you arrive, and I will pick you up."
"Okay." Sei Itō agreed without hesitation. He raised his hand and hung up the phone. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up. More than three hours later, Sei Itō finally arrived at the location Karin mentioned on the phone.
Sei Itō parked the car on the side of the road, took out the phone, and dialed again.
"Oh ~ Have you arrived?" As soon as the call was connected, Karin's voice sounded.
"I'm here," Sei Itō said.
"Okay, wait there for a while. I'll be there soon," Karin replied and then hung up the phone unilaterally. After a while, Karin, dressed in the uniform of the [Black Knights], walked out from a corner and quickly searched around. After discovering Sei Itō's car, she quickly ran over.
Sei Itō, who saw Karin from the rearview mirror of the car, pushed open the door and got out. He raised his hand and smiled at Karin, who was walking quickly toward him, "Dear Karin, long time no see."
Karin blushed at Sei Itō's almost flirtatious way of addressing her. She said with some annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey, Karin, do you also forget the old when you have a new person? It's rare for me to care so much about you back then. You gave me equipment and warmth. How long has it been since I last stayed with you? You abandoned me. It's so sad. "Sei Itō pretended to be very sad and said in a sad tone.
"Don't talk nonsense anymore! Why don't you just stay here? "Karin shouted angrily out of humiliation.
"Sigh." Sei Itō pretended to sigh deeply, and then said seriously, "Take me to see Zero."
"Oh, oh." Sei Itō sighed. Karin, who thought he would say something irritating, was immediately stunned by Sei Itō's serious expression and responded in a daze.
Then Karin, who came back to her senses, glared fiercely at Sei Itō. She turned around and led Sei Itō back the way they came. They came to a shore, took a wooden boat docked on the shore, and came to the deep sea slightly away from the shore. At this moment, Karin took out a small object and pressed it. A moment later, a shadow quickly rose from the sea in front of Sei Itō's wooden boat, and then the top of a huge submarine appeared in front of Sei Itō.
"Come up." Karin used the wooden paddle in the wooden boat to row the wooden boat to the side of the submarine. After jumping on the top of the submarine, she said to Sei Itō.
Sei Itō nodded. He suddenly exerted force under his feet and jumped to the top of the submarine amidst the slight shaking of the small wooden boat. He then entered the submarine through the entrance and exit above with Karin. Under Karin's lead, they came to a meeting in the center …
At this time, in the meeting room, the main members of the [Black Knights] such as Zero, CC, Shan Yao, Diluhart, Lakshata, Teng Tang, and the four holy swords were all sitting here. Their eyes fell on Sei Itō who walked into the meeting with Karin at the same time.
Seeing this situation, Sei Itō smiled and ignored this invisible pressure. He turned to Lakshata who was lying on the sofa and smoking a pipe. "We meet again, Lakshata. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"Big Boss, how are my men doing?" Lakshata looked up at Sei Itō, exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and chuckled.
"Very good. Every day is very fulfilling. It's just that they miss you very much, Big Sister." Sei Itō also replied with a smile.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Big Boss to say hello to them on my behalf," Lakshata replied.
"Sure." Sei Itō nodded and continued, "Actually, they still hope that you can meet them in person. They really miss you."
"Oh, then let's talk about it when there's a chance." Lakshata looked to the side and took a puff of the pipe.
"Okay." Sei Itō nodded. Then, his eyes fell on Zero who was sitting on the main seat and hadn't spoken a word. He chuckled and said, "I'm glad to see you alive, Zero."
"Tell me your purpose," Zero said in a domineering tone. At this time, Zero was in a bad mood. Not only was he irritated by the loss of control of Geass, but he was also angry and helpless because of the failure of his plan and Cornelia's comprehensive encirclement. Now, Sei Itō was a variable to him. Being able to remain calm with all these emotions mixed together was enough to show how tenacious Zero's heart was.
"Since our contact began with a deal, then let's do it according to a deal. Let's make a deal." Sei Itō stared at Zero's mask. His black pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the helmet and see the real face under the helmet. He looked at Zero calmly.
"What deal?" Zero asked.
"I'll tell you something, something very important to you, and then you'll do something for me, something very important to me." Sei Itō replied, "But you can rest assured that I won't ask you to go to Britannia and turn yourself in or disband the [Black Knights]. I just need you to do something that you can do for me."
"Ridiculous, you're actually using this kind of thing to make a deal. Don't you think it's very childish?" Zero said mockingly when she heard Sei Itō's words.
"Shining Mariana." Sei Itō didn't care about Zero's mockery, but he abruptly said a name.
In an instant, Sei Itō felt the fluctuations around CC and Zero fluctuating. Among them, CC, who had been sitting next to Zero and didn't care about anything, suddenly turned her head and stared at Sei Itō's face.
A few seconds later, Zero, who had been silent since hearing the name [Shining Mariana], suddenly said to the others, "You guys go out first."
The others looked at each other with some confusion, stood up from the sofa one after another, turned around, and walked out of the conference room. In the minds of these smart people, [Shining Mariana] has become the most important information to investigate.
"Who are you?" When only Zero, CC, and Sei Itō were left in the room, Zero questioned.
"I'm me, Sei Itō," Sei Itō shrugged casually, walked to the empty sofa on the side, and sat down with a chuckle.
"Who are you?" Zero questioned again. But unlike before, when Zero questioned Sei Itō this time, an opening suddenly appeared on the left eye of the mask, and an eye appeared from under the mask, staring at Sei Itō's eyes.
Immediately, Sei Itō felt a mysterious force that was similar to Psychic Energy but very different. It acted on both the Psychic and Physical Layers at the same time and broke into his mind. But before this force could do anything, it was devoured by Sei Itō's Psychic Energy and Psychic Energy, leaving nothing behind.
"Don't waste your energy, Geass's power is useless against me." Sei Itō smiled faintly.
"How is that possible?" Zero exclaimed in disbelief. She looked at CC in surprise, but the latter also looked at Sei Itō in surprise. Obviously, she didn't know what was going on. (Welcome, your support is my biggest motivation.)
