Steel steam and flame

The familiar sizzling sound was a different experience now. The hope that exists in the unknown, or the fear inherent in the unknown, are entangled together like paint mixed in a dyeing shop. It is difficult to distinguish between the two, which component is more dominant.

Cassia half-raised her arm and placed the communicator between herself and Hai. He stared straight at the back of the passenger seat in front of him, while He turned his head, straightened his back, and looked out the window at the unknown scenery. The two of them remained silent, as if they could capture the sound of the air flow in the car driven by the air circulation system at this moment.

The sizzling sound continued, and the two waited patiently. Their expressions were not concealed at this moment, they were all thinking. Probably both of them are thinking about how to reply or how to ask after the communication is connected?

When the limo suddenly became quiet, it was the moment when the buzzing electronic noise disappeared. The two people in tacit understanding turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and then looked at the communicator. After ten communication rooms, the sound in the communicator has somewhat lost its original flavor and has a considerable sense of distortion.

"Cassia?" He said every word, and the feeling of temptation was extremely strong. Opposite was a male voice, with the same magnetic voice as Hai. The other party was not sure either. Both Cassia and Haicong felt from their words that the other party was relying on their strong consciousness and intuition to say this.

Cassia looked at Hai. Hai pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, as if information flowed through a light path in an instant. Hai is judging and thinking.

"Is it Cassia?" The voice on the other side gradually became more confident and powerful, "Unknown composite radio frequency, this alone can mean a lot of things. It's best for you to remain silent over there. No contact yet. The only people on the list are you and the leader who went to the Endless Sea. Big families have their own ways of contacting each other. But obviously, the only one who doesn’t have this ability is you, Cassia. .You need to get in touch with us and find the right help.”

"We collected all the information you spread in the black market and asked experts in code language to interpret it to try to find the information you gave. But that is obviously just information, not a carrier for transmitting other messages. This is a correct statement The road, you may have felt, although the route is correct, it is bending and heading out of control. The enemy is using their own methods to gradually turn this thing that was originally detrimental to them into a bargaining chip that is beneficial to them."

"That is to say, if you lose control later, the things you do and plan will be forced to become a stage for the enemy to show his leverage."

"But at present, I think the most important thing is to take some actions to first eliminate the distrust between you and us in communication." The other party said this, stopped, and waited for Cassia's side. Confirm same.

"Mr. Macquarie?" After a short while of silence inside the limo, Hai said this on behalf of the silent Cassia.

"It seems that Cassia has found many reliable allies." A voice of admiration came from the other side, "I don't know where you got this string of radio composite frequencies, but from this point of view, both you and I seem to have to Think about who is consciously connecting us. If you can get my internal communication frequency, find it, and safely hand it over to you, or you are unwilling to come forward on my own initiative. Either they are people who have the same interests, but it is not convenient for them to express their position directly at the moment."

The other party's words were more like a patient explanation to Cassia, "There won't be many such candidates, and I will take the time to think carefully. However, the trust between us cannot be connected through the communicator. Here, I think it is necessary We need to agree on a code word to confirm each other's identities. An agreed code word can only be made when our identities are indeed true."

,,,,,,

At nearly twelve o'clock in the night, Cassia stopped the limousine on the side of the road, and Hai and Cassia stood under the light of a street lamp.

"Thank you, Mr. Hai." After opening the door of her limo, Cassia did not forget to say, "Only by myself, I don't know how long it will take to get to this point."

"This is all mutual. Not only myself, but even Miss Ovelia, there are many things waiting for Mr. Cassia's help." Hai replied, unusually calm.

"Can I take this as your answer, Mr. Hai?" Sensing the abnormality of Hai at this moment, Cassia, who was about to get into the limo, closed the door, looked at Hai and asked, "I did think about it for a long time at the Ribbon Mountains. During the time, I also thought about many things. Not only you, Mr. Hai, but most of the suggestions given to me by others were about this. I will definitely seek changes, but then I encountered the current situation, which made me have to think about more things. .”

"The time is really short for me. Some things are like traits. You can't have this trait in a very short time just by learning or willing it. So for a long time, at least recently. , I need to find members who can complement each other, just like a fully functioning machine, it requires many supporting institutions to operate."

"Mr. Cassia, if I were to take Li's place and carry out the first mission of the military school with you. Do you think the process and results would have changed?" Haik pounded his cane on the square tiles on the sidewalk. , asked.

"If it were Mr. Hei now, among the twenty people on that mission, I think besides Carla and me, including you, Mr. Hei, there would be several more people who could get on the train and return to school. But if it was that mission After that, the outcome of the dance at the Empire Victory Building will basically not change. Even if it changes, it will only be a question of who among the three of you, Mr. Ha, Carla and me, will be able to return to Manoma alive in the end. Of course. , if the start of the first mission can be delayed a little later, I think this will also be a good thing. Compared with the party jointly organized by the seminary and the military school, everyone who participated should have Big changes, in every aspect.”

Hai nodded at this time, with a calm expression: "Mr. Cassia, as expected, you can see more interesting things while you are alive." Hai said, a smile that Cassia remembered gradually appeared on his face, "Everyone has something that takes time to change. That’s fine. I have always been keen on imagining other people’s reactions and thoughts in various situations, but I have forgotten that I am also an excellent example.” When the smile completely turned into a clown, the sharp voice became less harsh. .

"Miss Carla, I will definitely meet you. Whether it is now or in the future, if you talk to her in your mood at both times, no matter which one you talk to, you should have unimaginable fun."

After Hai finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the limo: "Mr. Cassia, remember the code word redemption method in the communication. I will observe in another place to help confirm. In addition, this cooperation is only a continuation of the belt mountain range. As for whether it can last How long it takes depends on how much interesting things you have left in you, Mr. Cassia."

"Almost gone, but enough to survive this incident." Cassia answered.

I saw Hai closing the car door and starting the limo. Cassia also got into the limo, started the steam engine, and the two drove in the opposite direction.
