Steel steam and flame

A few minutes after the room lights were completely turned off, Cassia, who was sitting and resting, opened her eyes. His skin could feel the lowest range of perception emanating from the three Delins upstairs, which was an ability integrated through various tactile systems on the body. It can monitor changes in the environment around you and minor intrusions very well.

It was time to rest, but Cassia knew that she still had things to do. On the way here, the weapons and cosmetics that were abandoned in the limo in advance need to be retrieved at some time, and it is also important to make the three people upstairs completely lose their vigilance about his identity.

So Cassia went barefoot and touched up her face with some cosmetics left in Thanos' room. Finally, she chose a very nice high-grade mint-flavored perfume and sprayed some on her body. It is a smell that is not pungent and can make people breathe easier without even realizing it.

After getting wine and glasses from the cupboard in the hall, Cassia knocked on Dellin's door as Thanos. Cassia can guess what kind of person Thanos is and what time he will probably do it.

Cassia knew that she had been discovered before she even got close to the door, and there were three of them at the same time. It's just that he needs this result now. He wants to complete his identity as Thanos. Once he finds an opportunity, he can quickly end the turmoil here.

In the end, she only got the word "get out". Cassia went downstairs in a disappointed mood, but a smile appeared on her face in the darkness of the room that was eroded by the moonlight. Dellin's reaction was not as big as he imagined, but it didn't matter. The goal had been achieved. Now Cassia only needed to stay obediently around the three of them and find opportunities to get the information he wanted to know. Are they the only three people here this time? In other words, their people were all scattered.

Ye Jielin once said that Ovelia was also involved in this matter. After meeting Zayas, Kasia confirmed her idea. However, due to the current environment, he was not able to pass on the information here to others in time. Being completely sure and knowing with doubt will produce different results.

Early the next morning, when Cassia woke up according to Thanos' schedule, all three of Dellin had gone out. I spoke to Kaul before going out, which was roughly a warning about Cassia's knock on the door last night. Old Butler Kaur said he knew and would definitely remind his young master.

Taking the opportunity to go for a walk, Cassia retrieved the suitcase hidden in the sewer outside the house, as well as several necessary cosmetics. And a recording device is installed on the communication machine inside the house, which will start when the communication machine is started.

An hour later, the three of them came back in a limousine. It was a vehicle with plenty of space, filled with weapons and equipment, and most of the vehicle's bits and pieces used for reinforcement and defense.

For the next whole day, the three of them used the things they had to arrange the house, turning it into an exquisite defensive position.

In the afternoon, Delin asked Thanos to gather the people from the mine to rush back to Lotkai City. There is only a team of less than ten people, but they are all elite members of the private army and mercenaries.

Dellin arranged them on the edge of the house as a backup force.

At night, as time goes by, everything around slowly calms down. Cassia was resting in the room. By this time, Selmer should have arrived at Lotkai City. He calculated the time for Selmer's task team to collect information, and estimated that around early tonight, someone might come over to conduct the first tentative investigation on him. Except for Selmer, few other people on the mission knew of the existence of Dellin and the others, which could provide Cassia with an opportunity to cooperate with Selmer. The premise is to use several other members of the mission team as ignorant bait.

When going out to get some water, Cassia took off the recording equipment installed on the communication machine. Disappointingly, some things were indeed recorded in it. It's just that they are all code words. Even if she knows them, Cassia cannot decipher them and obtain the content.

Nearing the early hours of the morning, in the room, Cassia carefully felt the sense that the three people upstairs had been emanating from downstairs and never took it back, thinking about a good time to take action. The recording equipment had told Cassia that even if he waited, he would not get the information he wanted. The other party's brain is not bad, and there is absolutely no chance to penetrate through the communication. Then there is no need to wait any longer.

Now there is only one opportunity missing. There is some overlap in the perceptions of the three people, which is probably intentional. Once something happens, they can alert each other very quickly through the overlapping parts. The three of them are all in the middle of the second stage of the operation, and Cassia is not yet confident enough to sneak into such a perception network. He can only avoid being detected by this sensing network, but intrusion and not being detected have always been two different concepts. The difference between active offense and passive defense.

He had the specific layout of the three-person rest room, but because of the limousine driven by Dellin and the others in the morning, Cassia finally gave up the idea of ​​directly shooting the second-floor residence with a heavy machine gun. Among the items Dellin brought was a high-strength composite bulletproof board, which was half the size of a palm. Its specific defensive strength was equivalent to half a meter of special concrete. Even with a heavy machine gun, it will take some time to break this composite bulletproof plate.

Cassia knew that she lost an opportunity last night. But I didn't care too much in my heart. It was the necessary price to pay for getting the specific arrangements of the enemy's personnel. The stakes of information asymmetry will only be more profound than this opportunity. In his eyes, the three of them had never had the possibility of becoming hunters.

There are good starlight tonight, because we are about to enter early summer, and the rainy weather in spring is no longer there. In the next few months, we will see the cold moonlight getting brighter and brighter every night.

A gray-black shadow now crossed the low guardrail outside the house, easily bypassed several simple alarm devices, and arrived outside the window of the room where Cassia was resting.

The three Dellins on the second floor woke up from their semi-sleep immediately and immediately retracted the released perceptions. Because she had to disguise herself as Thanos, Cassia didn't intuitively know that someone was coming from outside. He judged this fact through the reactions of Dellin and others when they withdrew their perceptions.

"The person who came to investigate is probably outside the window." Cassia thought to himself, knowing that someone would come, so he slept in bed tonight. Don't worry about your own safety. All the windows in this house are made of thick bulletproof glass. And because of Thanos's stronger desire to survive, he added two layers of bulletproof glass. Large-caliber platinum bullets, the type of heavy machine gun that destroys bunkers, would have to fire dozens of bullets to have the possibility of destroying these glass windows.

At this time, he turned over naturally, opened a slit in his eyes, and saw a hazy shadow that could disappear at any time under the starlight and moonlight, standing there quietly. The shadow seems to be testing the specific strength of these glasses in order to go back and formulate a plan to destroy this layer of defense in a short period of time.

Shortly after, the shadow left the spot and carefully circled the large house several times, memorizing all the details that were not in the intelligence. Perhaps it is really the gap in strength. In places like extreme areas, people's ability to perceive and eliminate their own existence can best be exercised.

Xuying thought that his action was successful, but from beginning to end, he didn't realize that in this short minute or two, all his actions were watched by three pairs of eyes without missing a beat.
