A foreigner's journey

Three hours later, two black shadows floated down from the top disk three hundred meters above the ground.

One of the black shadows suddenly fell into the open space outside Qifan Street. As soon as it hit the ground, the black shadow split into two. The one who lost his footing screamed and fell forward, but was grabbed by the person behind him.

The two figures were clearly Jesse and Claude, with parachutes scattered at their feet. It looked like they jumped directly from the steel disc in the downtown area of ​​Qifan Street using parachute bags.

Jesse raised his arms happily: "It's so exciting! So skydiving is such an interesting thing?"

Claude folded up his parachute in silence. He still needed some time to digest what happened tonight.

First, he was chased by a 3rd special forces soldier named Luo Xie in a tunnel chase. He was no less difficult than the 2nd special forces soldier and was extremely good at fighting on a motorcycle. Claude seriously suspected that this Luo Xie was stuck in the 3rd level because of his weird personality. Otherwise, he would have been in the 2nd level by virtue of his strength.

After finally escaping from the Shinra Army, the group came to Jesse's home in the downtown area of ​​Qifan Street, and were warmly received by Jesse's mother.

Jesse's mother thought that Jesse was still working as an actor at the Golden Butterfly Amusement Park and was just taking time off to come home for a visit. Everyone present was very cooperative and did not tell the truth. By the way, the pizza baked by Jesse's mother was really delicious, and Wei Ji even ate six slices and was still not satisfied.

After leaving Jesse's home, everyone sneaked into Shinra Company's military equipment warehouse [Room 76] located in the downtown area of ​​Qifan Street. Jesse is responsible for hacking into the system and sneaking in to steal explosives, while Claude and others are responsible for responding.

The thing was stolen, but because the alarm was triggered, he was surrounded by Shinra soldiers, and also led to the 3rd special forces soldier named Luo Xie.

At the critical moment, intensive gunfire saved them. A large number of soldiers wearing uniforms rushed into [Branch 76] and attacked the Shinra soldiers.

After Biggs' introduction, Claude realized that the soldiers in front of him were members of the Avalanche Association. Today happened to be the day when they planned to raid [Room 76] to seize military supplies, which indirectly saved Claude and his party. people.

Claude and others took advantage of the chaos to escape, but the tunnel and the train had been blocked by the troops sent by the Shinra Company. They could not return to Qifanjie Lower City by ordinary means.

Jesse finds a box of parachute packs in a secret location her father told her about before. Next, things happened as everyone saw, and everyone returned to the Qifan Street slum safely.

Because of the invasion of demon wolves a few years ago, Shinra Company conducted a large-scale cleaning of the area near the outer wall of Shichiban Street. Even if a few fish slipped through the net occasionally, they would be picked up by the vigilantes and Heather and the people who passed by this place during morning exercises. Tifa cleaned it up. The Qifan Street slum is now the safest area in the entire Midgar slum.

The open space under the 'moonlight' was silent, with only a young man and woman talking.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Claude handed the packed parachute bag to Jesse. Although the process was a bit exciting, everyone returned safely in the end. I just don't know what the situation is like with Biggs and Weggie.

"Thank you very much, my Lord Knight."

Jesse chuckled, came over and took Claude's arm, happily pulling him towards the Qifan Street slums.

There were not many people on the streets of the slums late at night, and all the lights in Seventh Heaven in the distance were extinguished. It seemed that Heather and Tifa had closed up for a rest.

The house Jesse rents is a not very spacious bungalow, with the exterior walls wrapped in scrap iron sheets, a typical slum style. She rented this small house with two girls who dreamed of becoming actors but were very self-sufficient, and they made an agreement that no one would bring boys back.

Jesse stood in front of the door and stuck out his tongue at Claude: "Sorry, I won't let you sit in today. Wanda and Natasha should have fallen asleep."

"I don't plan to go in either."

Claude responded straightly. Just as he turned around to leave, he was stopped by Jesse.

"Wait a minute, there is a special reward."

Jesse rushed over and hugged Claude tightly, kissing the side of his face gently.

Claude stood stiffly on the spot, the soft touch coming from the left side of his face made him at a loss and his breathing became rapid. After a few seconds, he realized that Jesse had no intention of letting go of him, so he could only say with a slight embarrassment: "You, let me go first."

With a red face, Jesse lay in Claude's ear and said, "Then why don't you come see me tomorrow night? My roommates won't be here tomorrow night."

Claude looked unnatural and tried to push Jesse away: "What do you mean by 'Then come to me'? Anyway, let me go first!"

Jesse let go of Claude with a smile, put his hands on his shoulders, and his big eyes seemed to be dripping with water: "If I let go, will you come tomorrow night?"

It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a fierce offensive from a girl, especially when she was as beautiful as Tifa. Cloud hesitated.

After a few seconds, he sighed softly: "I know, I will consider it."

"Great! I will bake a very delicious pizza waiting for you. The ingredients are Marco, Lushe, Hemiglion and Hongxili. How about it?"

Claude was a little embarrassed: "...I haven't heard of them all."

"Hmm~~~You are so cute!"

Seeing Claude's appearance, Jesse held his hands in front of him and was so excited that he couldn't control himself: "Very good, it's all on me! I will definitely make the most of the pizza recipe I learned from my mother!"

Is this a... date? Claude smiled slightly and nodded sheepishly.

Jesse covered his red face and ducked back into the house: "Then...see you tomorrow!"

Looking at the closed door, Claude slowly lowered his raised hand:

"Well, see you tomorrow."

………………………………

The next morning, the Avalanche organization's [Shenra Collapse Operation Plan] officially entered the second phase.

This time, their target is Mako Reactor No. 5. Don't ask why, after all, the original Avalanche organization's "Ultimate Plan" was arranged in this way. Barrett didn't know the reason, but he just followed it.

Claude originally didn't plan to continue participating, but couldn't stand Jesse's insistence. Barrett used the money he planned to pay for Marlene's tuition as a second payment, and Claude agreed to the invitation.

Seeing the four Barretts and Claude gathering at the door of Seventh Heaven again, Heather, who was leaning at the door, said impatiently: "I said, you guys, don't treat Seventh Heaven as a save point, find another place. ah!"

Tifa looked at Jesse worriedly: "Does it have to be today? I'm worried that Shinra Company will lay out traps and arrange defensive forces in a targeted manner."

Jesse shrugged: "You have to ask why someone would leave a 'trailer' at the crime scene."

"[If the Mako Reactor is not turned off, we will continue to detonate it in two days]. It is Shinra who is wrong. What does it have to do with me?"

Barrett doesn't think he did anything wrong at all: "If they are smart enough to turn off the Mako Reactor, the planet will no longer suffer, and we can let Shinra live, and everyone will be happy."

Heather simply didn't know where to complain. If Claude hadn't been in the team, the Avalanche Chapter's operation would have been suicidal from the beginning, let alone leaving a notice of the exact time of the crime, for fear that others would not deploy defensive forces. What?

And what’s most worth complaining about is that they actually plan to take the train to Shangcheng District to blow up the Mako Reactor?

It is estimated that ID card detection will pick them out halfway through the train and form a siege.

But these have nothing to do with Heather, he just wants to keep the Seventh Heaven home with Tifa, that's all.

The life and death of others has nothing to do with him.
