Steel steam and flame

"Of course, I don't want to go back." Carla looked straight ahead, where was the main entrance of the waiting hall. The pedestrians coming and going were all dragging their luggage, looking like they were in a hurry. "But the statement about not returning to Manoma may need to be changed. I will no longer return to the military school, nor will I return to the Meredith family. Neither of them is attractive enough to me. Their nature It's more of a cage. Now that I have the opportunity to escape, I won't give up this opportunity."

"But then, we still have to be fellow passengers for another day and a half. The heart tissue replacement is still in my body and has not been taken out, and a new replacement tissue will have to be transplanted in the future. So I had to go back to Manoma, where there are professional doctors I know.”

Cassia nodded, even though he already knew the result.

"Is the security reliable? You don't need to remind me. You also know that Manoma and its surrounding areas are the main places where the Twenty-three Grand Dukes' families are entrenched and active. There are many of them there, and even if it's not you Meili A member of the Dis family, but I think with the relationship between the twenty-three great duke families, in such a small matter, once they find out that you are still alive, they may directly tell the Meredith family."

"If you are worried about the credibility of the professional doctor, this is not a problem. Like mechanics, many of their businesses are kept strictly confidential. This is not only related to the interests of the customers, but also closely related to their interests. . And once the relevant information of the customers is leaked, their life safety will be affected to some extent. In the secret transactions, there is a list called "Black House". It is a list uniformly established by several major power agencies in the empire. A list of people related to the dark world. These authorities stipulate that no large companies, mechanics, doctors, chambers of commerce, etc. can provide help or trade to people who have left their names on the black accounts, otherwise they will become the common denominator of these authorities. enemy. But..."

"But the empire is so big, no matter how great the power and power of the authority is, it is impossible to supervise all aspects. In the face of interests, as long as confidentiality work is done well, who will give up the opportunity to make money. Moreover, those undercover people Everyone on the list must be a big benefactor." Cassia added to Kara's words.

"That's it, so don't worry about my problems." Kara looked at Cassia and said solemnly, "Then after the operation is completed, I will leave the Manoma area. The extremely prosperous place in the empire is not just Manoma. , I will go to other cities, probably with David and the others."

"Isn't this just right? David will be the boss on the surface, and you will hide behind the scenes. As for things in the dark world of the empire, and the interest network between various local officials, I think you will definitely be faster than David. Get familiar with it and get started." Cassia said.

"I hope it will go as smoothly as you think." Carla was unsure, "Anyway, with what Nolida and Flos have obtained, we don't have to worry about funds anymore. And there are a lot of tranquilizers, It will be enough for me to use for a long, long time. There is also a share of your money in it. When I go back to Manoma, if the transaction is successfully completed, I will give it to you as soon as possible. "

"What's in those four silver-white iron boxes?" Through the information Nadia revealed when she asked him that day, Cassia learned that the defense team in the merchant ship only seized a batch of sophisticated weapons, and those few iron boxes The box and the pneumatic weapon that fell in the corridor were completely missing. And the only person who could make them "disappear" at that time was Kara.

"Then do you think other things are valuable apart from those things?" Kara said matter-of-factly. She didn't know Cassia's origins. Cassia is still very lacking in some basic knowledge.

"How many can there be?"

"A lot." Kara's mouth curved, showing a sly smile. "Now that I have finished talking about my story, is it time to talk about you? Mr. Cassia Tussos, a talented student with a comprehensive score of 1024th in the military school."

Cassia was stunned for a moment, and could only shake her head helplessly, smiling bitterly. Kara had already woken up when Lee was talking.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark. The high-speed train sounded its whistle on time, and steam plumes sprayed out from the valves beside the doors. The giant headlights were turned on, and the beam of light took on physical form, shooting into the distance deep into the darkness like a pillar made of light particles.

The train body moved slowly, shaking slightly. Cassia leaned back in the soft and comfortable seat, and on the small table in front of her were drinks and food specially prepared for passengers in the special seats. The space is just as Galier said, very spacious. The flight attendants wearing purple train uniforms also had natural and amiable smiles. There is a faint fragrance in the air, I don't know if it is the smell of red wine or the smell of the flight attendant's perfume. Cassia didn't think about it, the food on the table only moved a little, and she closed her eyes and fell into a quiet rest.

Although Carla took the same train as him, she had an ordinary seat. Of course, it's not that he doesn't have money to buy special seats. Although David is just an ordinary jewelry merchant, he still has this little money. It's just that there were too many students in the special seats who were preparing to go back to the military school. Kara didn't want anything to go wrong and expose her traces.

"No. 2048, on the edge of Seventh Avenue south of Manoma." Cassia silently recited the room number that Kara told him. This is the location where they will meet in Manoma. After thinking for a while about her plans after returning to the military school, as well as the completion of Ye Jielin, Atohuan and Selmer's missions, Cassia lay on the seat and fell asleep quietly without knowing it.

Next to him, in the other seats, there were almost all faces as young as him. There were rare people among them who were not tired. They looked at the fleeting scenery outside and welcomed the journey back to Manoma.

The journey for a day and a half was very quiet. People on the side would occasionally say a few words, but most of the time, everyone kept their mouths tightly closed and stared blankly at the scenery outside that quickly disappeared behind them.

Then one morning when the sky lit up early, the whistle that had disappeared for a day and a half sounded again.

The station has arrived.

Cassia dragged her luggage off the train with one hand, and of course gave Kara the sniper rifle. There were crowds of people around, hurried and impatient. The high-speed train behind them immediately loaded down their group of passengers, and then loaded up another group of passengers. Before Cassia had gone far, it hurriedly set off again.

This is Manoma, Cassia thought. Following the flow of people out of the huge train station, I stood in the large square in front of the station and sighed without knowing what to say. I could only take a few more breaths of the air full of water vapor. There was no one around, except Carla, and all twenty people in the team were dead.

"Mr. Tussos!" While he was blindly considering what to do next, another voice with the same tone as Galier brought Cassia back to reality. The same process, also representing the badge of the Logistics Department, Cassia followed and got into the limo parked in the parking lot.

In three months, Cassia's life has become nothing more than the military school.
