Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Alright, no matter what, our little emperor is growing up. Let's sit down and continue on our way."

"Yes, that's right, the teacher... is waiting for us, hehe..."

When Momo was mentioned, Karen and Jiang Lihua exchanged a glance and noticed the embarrassment on each other's faces, which prevented them from closing the door immediately.

"Who are you!"

"Get out of there!"

"court death!"

However, in the blink of an eye, everything around them became chaotic. Countless noises arose, including the roars of the Imperial Guards and the sound of bullets being loaded. Even the Imperial Guard who had just left returned.

That wasn't the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing was that a person suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

This is a boy with dark brown hair, a cold expression, and a black outfit that looks like a bodysuit.

As if he had suddenly teleported, he appeared in front of Karen and Jiang Lihua, giving them no time to react.

Karen's pupils contracted sharply. She didn't know what was happening, but instinct had already prompted her to act.

She suddenly pulled Jiang Lihua backward, her whole body like a crouching tiger, about to rush out of the carriage and attack the boy with the fiercest force.

Then, she froze.

The boy's hand seemed to teleport back to Karen, suddenly appearing in front of her, holding a gun with the muzzle pointed at her forehead.

The cold muzzle of the gun showed no mercy as the boy's finger rested on the trigger.

Karen saw his eyes, those lifeless eyes, eyes filled with murderous intent and despair—the eyes of someone who had killed countless people and struggled in despair countless times.

With eyes like those, Karen had no doubt that the other person would shoot without hesitation.

"Karen!"

Jiang Lihua also saw what had happened. She exclaimed in surprise and instinctively tried to pull Karen back away from that terrifying gun barrel. But in response, Karen's pupils shone with an even more determined resolve.

"Burst!"

Burst is not acceleration, but rather the most basic acceleration technology that Kayaba Akihiko gradually made available to the world in the Accelerated World. Even now, this acceleration only doubles the speed of human consciousness, yet it's equivalent to doubling human lifespan.

It is easy to imagine the terrifying impact of this technology.

In the world of Code Geass, very few people possess the complete version of the Neural Link Device, and even fewer know about this acceleration function and are able to use it.

However, Momo told Kallen about it, as one of Kallen's trump cards for self-defense. This was also one of the reasons why she was able to dominate in India before. After all, no matter how strong the Crimson Lotus Type 1's machine functions were, Kallen's reaction ability as a human was ultimately limited.

A doubling of consciousness acceleration was enough for Kallen to break through this limit, causing her combat power to soar.

Now, facing the boy's gun that had suddenly appeared, Karen did not hesitate to confront the gun and used that power again in order to protect Jiang Lihua behind her.

Despite facing the potential threat of death, she did not back down.

With her consciousness accelerating by double, Karen abruptly shook her head and reached out, dodging the gun while trying to snatch it from the boy's hand.

"Karen!"

Seeing Karen's actions, Jiang Lihua let out a heart-wrenching scream. She naturally understood what the outcome would be if Karen's actions failed.

Karen was well aware of this, but faced with this boy, she still decided... to give it her all!

Karen, who was exerting all her strength, watched as her fingers were about to grasp the cold muzzle of the gun, and her forehead was deviated from the front of the muzzle. But at that moment, the muzzle in front of her suddenly disappeared.

The next instant, the gun barrel that had disappeared reappeared, still pressed against Karen's forehead, in the same position, even though Karen's forehead had now deviated from its original direction by more than ten centimeters.

Karen's hand grasped at nothing; her grasp was empty, only air flowing through it.

Karen stared blankly at the gun on her forehead, then at the boy in front of her, lost in confusion.

What exactly happened?

Despite being at double the speed of her consciousness, she had no idea what was happening. She couldn't even see the trajectory of the boy moving the gun. Could this boy really teleport?

The muzzle of his gun instantly moved from one position to another.

Only in this way can we explain why Karen's attacks had no effect on him at all, and why Karen couldn't see the trajectory of the gun's movement.

"it's useless."

The boy spoke up, and an enraged Karen, disregarding the danger, attacked again, but the result was the same.

The gun was still pointed at Karen's forehead, even though Karen was lying prone on the floor inside the car.

Karen wanted to make another move, but then gunshots rang out. Amid Jiang Lihua's screams, Karen clearly saw a Jinyiwei guard who had tried to sneak up on the boy from behind fall to the ground clutching his leg.

The boy fired the gun; he had another gun in his other hand.

The boy didn't kill anyone, but his actions only made Karen more worried. Karen knew that the Imperial Guards wore bulletproof vests, and if the boy had shot a guard in the chest, he might have already subdued him.

Now, if the boy wasn't acting out of compassion, it means he was fully aware of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, of everything he was seeing, and knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

This is... the most troublesome thing ever!

What are you trying to do?!

Karen gritted her teeth and asked, but the boy did not answer. Instead, he silently threw away a gun, reached up to his chest, and unzipped his shirt.

As his shirt fell off, cylindrical objects were revealed, each with flashing lights. Especially on his arms and neck, there were special devices that shimmered with a faint glow.

Looking at this thing, Karen's eyes were practically blazing with rage.

"A sensor-activated bomb."

“That’s right,” the boy affirmed Karen’s words, “Now that you know, that’s for the best. This way, you and your companions won’t attack me. Otherwise, if I die, this bomb will explode.”

"At that time, both you and the princess behind you will die a violent death."

“This is no joke, Miss Karen.”

178 Mao and Rollo

Karen looked at the bomb on the boy and knew this was no joke.

The proximity bomb can sense a person's physical condition, and once it detects death, it will immediately detonate. Although the timing varies depending on the sensing point, the principle, and the timeliness, Karen is basically certain of one thing: no one can easily escape from this bomb.

Moreover, looking at the cylindrical objects on the boy's body, Karen didn't think that these bombs, which looked to weigh over ten kilograms, would give her and Jiang Lihua a chance to escape.

This is really not a joke.

And this is a huge problem!

The most troublesome thing is the boy's strange power, which Karen can't see through at all. Could it really be an unimaginable power beyond her comprehension?

This temporarily extinguished the last shred of resistance in Karen's heart. Facing an enemy she could not resist, Karen herself was not afraid, but don't forget that behind Karen was Jiang Lihua.

For Jiang Lihua's safety, she couldn't act recklessly without being sure of the consequences. Otherwise, it would be a minor matter if she got hurt or something happened to herself, but if her actions implicated Jiang Lihua, Karen would never forgive herself.

"You know my name, you recognize me, are you here to see me?"

Karen tried her best to remain calm and then spoke to the boy.

This was Karen's thought. At the moment, she knew nothing about this boy, and the only thing she could tell from his appearance was that he was not from the Chinese Empire.

This operation was undoubtedly a targeted one, and Karen had reason to believe that this person was there for Jiang Lihua, who was behind her, and that it was an operation with a detailed plan and meticulous arrangements.

Moreover, it is clear that the other side's actions have succeeded, at least for now, and things are developing according to their steps. Faced with this situation, Karen can only do very little.

However, knowing more about the other party and their trump cards is always useful.

After all, Karen wasn't alone; she had Momo behind her, and many others who could help her. Silently, Karen had already begun contacting Luoyang using the neural link device.

“I’m sorry, Miss Karen, I’m not here to see you. And don’t try to get information out of me. I’m just an assistant; I’m not the one in charge.”

"As for the specifics of what needs to be done, Miss Karen, please find my partner and ask him yourself."

Karen frowned and asked, "Your partner?"

However, Karen immediately understood who the boy meant by "partner".

Why did their convoy stop?

"hateful!"

Karen cursed inwardly. If she had known this would happen, she should have not only knocked that guy down, but also knocked him to the ground and run him over.

“Miss Karen, do I need to remind you again to give the order? Or should I ask Her Highness the Princess for permission to give the order?”

Karen glared at the boy, then turned to the captain of the Imperial Guard and said, "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what he was saying?"

The Jinyiwei captain who returned was ashen-faced, with veins throbbing in his forehead, making one wonder if he might suffer a heart attack from anger and self-reproach.

However, he was also a sensible person, and now was definitely not the time to test the attacker's patience.

They are willing to risk their lives to protect the princess, and they are also willing to grovel to protect her.

Over the past five years, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as the emperor's direct force, has become increasingly powerful, undergoing significant changes in both its organizational structure and personnel composition.

However, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the Embroidered Uniform Guard has always been the emperor's most loyal supporter. As for how to test the loyalty of newly joined members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, that is a mysterious doctrine unique to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Soon, the person who had started all of this was brought over by the captain of the Imperial Guard, who described him with certainty as a mentally ill man.

The most striking feature of the newcomer was probably his tall and slender figure. His thin frame supported a height of over 1.9 meters, making him taller than all the Imperial Guards present. Such a physique could truly be described as a "pole-like" build.

The second most noticeable feature is probably his silver-gray hair, but unfortunately, it lacks luster and looks like malnourished, withered grass.

Finally, there's his attire. His clothing is roughly in the style of the Chinese Empire, but he's wearing huge headphones covering his ears and a pair of round sunglasses, giving the impression that he took something off and put it on his face.

This image, combined with his twitching smile even with a bloodied head and strange attire, makes it perfectly reasonable to assume he is a mental patient.

Unfortunately, this mentally unstable expression seemed like the most ironic mockery to the captain of the Imperial Guard, and to Karen, it represented extreme danger.

"Let me go."

At this moment, the man who had always been considered mentally ill finally spoke up.

The imperial guard holding him was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when he said again, "What, are you planning to wait for your princess to give the order before you release me?"

"Ah, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that now that I've been captured, you can use me to blackmail my partner and force him to surrender?"

The mentally ill man suddenly grinned maliciously and said, "Are you all idiots?!"

"What we're doing right now is terrorism, assassination of royalty—a capital offense no matter what. Do you think we'd care about life or death now that we're here?"
