Steel steam and flame

In less than two or three breaths, the dark red lines were completely replaced by white lines. The rain fell on Cassia and turned into thin ice, and the frost rolled around like a wave, spreading towards the surroundings. Layers of white frost powder with snowflake-like lines crawled up the ground and grass little by little. A moment later, Cassia's side had turned into a white world with a diameter of more than a hundred meters, covered with cold white, and the soil froze and became hard. The falling rainwater invaded this space and gradually condensed into ice particles, falling "swissly" and making a "bang bang" sound.

"Boom..." The heavy heartbeat seemed to stir up invisible fluctuations all over the body. The ice on Cassia's body cracked, revealing a body with completely fallen scales. Most of the skin has fallen off, and the bright red muscle structure and white tendons are exposed to the air. A new layer of skin is slowly forming to cover them.

The eyes have not yet recovered. The black ring around the pupil is shaking violently, but it is more like rotating rapidly around the heavy pupil. There must be something she didn't know about in the dream. Cassia understood that there were dragons with huge cross pupils and a group of white shadows that were as large as mountains. What exactly they represent has not been figured out yet, and without sufficient information, Cassia doesn't think she can get anything by imagining it. Just like when I came out of the small town, I didn't know the existence of surgery at all.

But one thing that is certain is that after experiencing the second dream, the giant whale's methods have indeed undergone fundamental changes. The volcano's uninhabited land experienced a brief period, but it was not as dangerous as it is today.

Cassia didn't have the strength to stand up. He opened his frozen mouth and tried to breathe. His lungs seemed to be expanded a hundred times at this moment. With the deep breathing sound, the surrounding air surged towards him, forming a siphon phenomenon. The ice particles were sucked in and gathered into a small pile. The body is extremely swollen, but still maintains its basic shape. The skin lost its flexibility and became taut as if it were rearranged with welded black iron steel plates.

"Hello..." He breathed only once every half a minute. The cold air sprayed from his mouth and nose was like a high-pressure airflow, hitting the ground in front of him. Wind whipped up all around, and the ice particles were blown away when exhaling, hitting an arc-shaped area in front of them. The frost powder on the ground was also swept up, and a white "dust storm" suddenly built a high wall and surged forward.

After a few breaths, the blood begins to warm up from the cold. It became even hotter, and Cassia felt that the temperature on the surrounding objects had been absorbed into himself unconsciously just now. Blinking her eyes hard, Cassia stood up slowly, her breathing becoming steady and returning to normal frequency. He moved his stiff joints until the rain hit him again, and then he bent down and lifted up the enemy's corpse next to him, which was like pouring concrete. It has been frozen into steel, the skin has lost its redness and turned livid, and some parts have cracked due to cold shrinkage, exposing the bones. Carrying it on his body, Cassia looked at the approaching black figures in front of him, crushed the frozen grass with one foot and walked over.

In those eyes, the rotating black rings disappeared, and the pupils became even darker, no longer revealing any light.

The scene was cleared in half an hour, and the two limousines were blown to pieces by the remaining platinum gunpowder. A dozen bodies were loaded into the car, to be buried underground somewhere, never to be found.

Ye Jielin sat next to Cassia, observing his expression from the corner of her eyes. Cassia was silent after coming back. The body, which was still exuding coldness, was in another limo. It could be seen at a glance that something strange had happened. I don’t know how to explain it, but he had planned to share the method of Sucarius and the Giant Whale to Ye Jielin and the others. It's just that after a certain period of time, this idea disappeared. Probably when he realized that Sucarius was hiding something from him.

The accompanying huge danger made him even more afraid to try it now. Stability is the first priority, and this applies most appropriately to machinery and the human body.

Ye Jielin rarely asked and remained silent. The limo split into several routes before returning to the center of Manoma, gradually disappearing into the buildings.

Several people went directly back to the military school, and Ye Jielin and Cassia went to the dormitory side by side.

"You don't have anything to say to me?" Standing in front of the steel door, Ye Jielin asked Cassia, "There are a lot of weapons and ammunition in the factory, and we have to find a place to use them up."

Cassia shook her head: "If you want to go out recently, remember to inform me."

"I'm not like you, that's a given." Ye Jielin smiled, but then sighed and returned to her dormitory.

Sitting at the desk, Cassia took out paper and pen, and used ink to show everything that happened from the first time she personally came into contact with Qilis until now. It was obvious that someone in the Webberley family knew about the mission issued by the Kiris family. Now that there are no clues from the external environment, Cassia is good at searching for traces that have been accidentally dropped within herself.

Rethinking one thing after another, recalling the fragments of this recent period, a few more lines of words appeared on the paper one after another, and the latter were marked as key points.

"If you want to contact Kiris, first rule out the possibility of Kiris finding it on his own. There are only a few conditions that can be met, and I only know one path. You can search for information about Pekinz and buy several other books in the dark world. It's okay, or it's okay to sell information with strange words - but almost no one will do this, even if it is unintentional. Once discovered, I think the Kiris family wouldn't mind letting one less person know about such an important thing."

"Then in the end we can only lock the clues on Pekintz and the book, if we start from myself." Cassia circled Pekintz and the book with a pen. The tip of the pen paused for a second or two, dropped a black dot, and then moved to Shako's Imperial text. The simple and minimal relationship diagram helped Cassia a lot at this time and could quickly find the most likely breakthrough point.

"Strange written materials and Shaco's own "Standards of Strange Creatures" were once lost."

Cassia wrote this line and added the names of Il and Theodore after it. A large circle surrounded them, and under the tip of the pen, the Rose and the Knights of the Rose were written neatly, with just a huge question mark added.

After drinking a glass of cold water, Cassia wrote Shaco's name at the bottom of the paper, then changed into daily clothes. She wanted to contact Delya, but gave up halfway. Taking his ID card and password card, he opened the door gently, making sure not to make any noise during the process, and then quietly poked his head out to look at Ye Jielin's room.

There was no movement, and he walked down the dormitory building silently.

Until the figure was covered by the school building, Ye Jielin's door opened immediately. She glanced at the door next to her and then at the military school, which was the only exit. Ye Jielin was leaning against the fence, with the cold wind lifting a few strands of her hair. In the end, she was left helpless as the wind took her away.
