"We need to hurry up on Silla's matter. It is possible that they think that we will go to other cities." Cassia said to Lina alone. They are now going to several stations outside the train station to see if
Rental vehicle services are available.
"That bank card may be a clue for them to find us, but we have to use it. It is really an impossible and easy thing. After finding the mechanic, everything leaving the gray area must be planned clearly.
There can be no mistakes, otherwise no matter how hard you think of a solution, in a seemingly peaceful place like the gray zone, it is very common for big forces to break their own rules." This is the general direction Cassia is thinking of now.<

The car rental was with Delya's money. The payment for the transaction was put on Cassia's bank card. Now only her golden bank card is considered safe for the time being. Delya is also a good boss of a small force in Brino.
, although the force was disbanded in advance by herself, and almost all the stored funds were distributed to her subordinates, the deposits in her bank account were also quite large, which allowed the four of them to handle other matters except the mechanic's fees.
Enough.
Instead of staying in a hotel, the four of them all believed that it would be better to keep their position flowing. The rental car was also chosen for this purpose, a larger model, so that there would still be considerable remaining space for seven or eight people. Delya was driving the vehicle, and Sheila was blowing air in the passenger seat. After a while, she closed her eyes to rest. There was a dim light in the car, which was enough light. Linna was studying the train route map of the entire gray area under the light.
and route map to ensure that the return trip is complete. Cassia was checking the remaining ammunition and getting ready for a battle.
I arrived in this city in the morning, and it wasn’t until around 4 or 5 p.m. that all related itinerary issues, information collection and judgment, as well as train and boat tickets were announced to be resolved one by one.
The car stopped at an emergency stop on a not-too-congested road in the evening. It was very rare that few cars passed by on the road at this time. The fiery red sunshine was exactly the same as yesterday. Everything was changing, as if there was only the sun.
Every day follows the same trajectory and does the same thing.
Cascia opened the door and got out of the car, her clothes immediately turned bright red.
"I'm leaving tomorrow." Lina said behind him, seeming a little emotional.
"There will be a lot of time in the future." Cassia is not good at dealing with this kind of situation. It was like this before and it is still like this now.
Lina shook her head and said nothing more. She stood quietly by the car and looked at the end of the road under her feet for a long time. When the light completely dimmed and the distant scenery all merged into a ball like paint, she got on the road.
car.
Immediately, the car's headlights were turned on, and two bright lights shone on the ground in front. Amidst the roar of gears and steam engines, it drove towards a mechanic they had identified based on intelligence.
Cassia still doesn’t have a complete concept of mechanics, just like he still can’t tell the difference between the two different titles of doctor and physician. Because of the influence of the steam factory, or his interest since childhood, not only
It was a requirement when he applied for the Imperial Heavy Industry School. He longed to become an experienced technician. The first time he heard the concept of a machinist was probably from meeting Nolida at the Green Oasis.<
/p>
At that time, I saw pneumatic weapons, and for the first time I knew that steam and electric current drive, coupled with the cooperation of gears and shafts, could make machines reach such an extent. And that was a technological product after the Avalon Empire stopped researching it a hundred years ago.
Later, Avalon shifted its focus to other aspects, otherwise I don’t know what the current situation of the machinery in the empire would be like.
Suddenly she felt someone push her, and Cassia woke up from this retroactive thinking. There were bright lights outside the car window, the sound of undulating horns, buildings, passing vehicles, and what Lina looked inside the car.
The coming gaze.
"It's coming." Lina reminded.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Something." Cassia replied, but she didn't say any more and just packed her things.
Not long after, Delya twisted the control valve, reduced the output, and the brakes also increased a little.
A small parking space appeared in front, with parking lines drawn in yellow paint on the ground. Most of the vehicles were parked, but there were a few sparse ones. There were no people.
On the side of the parking lot is a three-story house-like building. It is not small in size, and the space inside should be quite large. There is also a half-new and half-old signboard, with most of the gas lights broken. There are obvious words "extinction", only
A series of patterns of gears meshing together, using the flow of light to simulate their actual rotation.
They had just stopped the car when they heard a "squeaking" sound, like the friction of insects flapping their wings at high frequencies, originating from the dark sky above the car roof. There was something flashing red with an intermittent indicator light, and it was approaching quickly.
.
Cassia pulled out the gun in advance and pointed it at the red light. Before the trigger was pressed, an electronic synthesized sound came from there.
"It's just a gadget. Guests, please don't think of it as anything else. For example, a bomb." Cassia put away the gun and stared at the thing as it descended and landed in the place covered by car lights. It was a 2-3
The ten-centimetre-long dragonfly-like thing is covered with a coating with strong light-absorbing properties. It is almost indistinguishable against the dark background. The electronic sound is coming from it.
The mechanical dragonfly, which could barely be called an aircraft, was still flapping its wings repeatedly. It had several pairs of legs under its body, and its motion when it stopped on the hood of the car in front was not smooth.
"Welcome to your arrival. There has indeed been no business coming to our door recently." This time it was the voice of a loudspeaker. On the third floor of the small building, a man turned down the lights and waved to them.
According to the photos collected for intelligence, he is the mechanic we are looking for right now.
The iron dragonfly flew up again, which could be regarded as guiding the way. Its take-off movement was very smooth. Cassia walked in and observed and then realized that the lift that supported its flight was not the result of the two pairs of wings.
There are several small lifting devices on both sides of the body. After all, the wings are just decorative items and cannot take off like a real dragonfly.
There was already a man in charge standing at the door. There were also two men in their prime behind him, wearing casual summer clothes with cold expressions. There was nothing special about the rest, except that they were both surgeons.
, in Cassia's eyes, there is really no big difference between this place and a senior technician's work room.
