When Ye Jielin accompanied Cassia to the hotel to get the gift, and then took the late-night train that ran every hour to return to her temporary residence, it was around four in the morning.
In a quiet area, you can see the shadows of limousines and roads from time to time. For some reason, the number of railway lines has also been reduced a lot.
The train drove slowly from the noisy industrial area to the building complex that smelled of sulfur. It seemed as if something had cut through it. The number of high-rise buildings visible within the field of vision decreased a lot. Most of them were two to three-story houses.
In the house, in the corners, and in the courtyard of the room, dark yellow lanterns are hung on the outstretched branches.
The coldness of the night caused the steam to stick to a ball, slowly hit these lanterns, and became separate fragments, which rose up into the dark blue night sky.
"This used to be a relatively famous tourist spot nearby. Because the geothermal resources are very rich, there are many hot springs on the slopes here. The temperature is very suitable for ordinary people. I heard that there are many hot springs in early spring and late autumn every year.
People came here, and these clusters of two- and three-story houses were built on a whim at that time." The two got off the train, still one or two kilometers away from their residence. There was no pedestrian on the road, and Cassia was carrying her luggage.
, Ye Jielin held her hands behind her back, and the two tacitly chose to walk side by side on the stone road full of up and down stairs. The night sky was clearly visible above their heads.
Neither of them deliberately controlled their own power. In the quiet night, the sound of gently rubbing footsteps echoed the sound of the hot spring water in the surrounding courtyard, wrapping the two of them inside.
"More than ten years ago, those factories didn't move in, and the aboriginal people relied on these hot spring businesses for their livelihood." Ye Jielin tilted her head slightly upward and looked at the dark yellow lanterns. The paper wrapping the lamps inside,
Various patterns were painted in brighter colors. Although they were faded, she looked at them very carefully.
Cassia just stared at Ye Jielin's side face. The light passed through the bridge of her nose and left a faint shadow on her side face. In Cassia's memory, she had never seen her like this. Physically
The sharp temperament of the entanglement has disappeared, and now it has become much gentler.
"Not long after, the geological prospector from the Imperial Mining Company heard that the hot springs here were good. He came here for fun, but he discovered the huge energy hidden underground. You can probably imagine what happened next."

"So the Three Primary Colors Group, which is almost an alliance company, moved in here and built the giant steam emission tower." Cassia continued Ye Jielin's words. On the giant tower behind her, a thick stream of steam rushing into the sky was also dyed by the night.
A darker color.
"I heard the old people at home talking about this place." After a while, after walking a long way, Ye Jielin turned her eyes to the road in front of her and looked carefully at the two people who would appear on the ground next to each other from time to time.
The mottled shadows together, "There are other more valuable things under the steam tower, which were transported away in the name of building the steam tower. They were all railways built by the Imperial Mining Company. The reason why the railway lines were built here was all for
Transporting those things, maybe some things buried deep underground, the old people in the family are always very concerned about something when talking about these things."
"Dragon bones?" These things appeared subconsciously in Cassia's mind. At the underground station in Brino, he still clearly remembers the characters engraved on the dragon fossils.
There was no answer, Ye Jielin said nothing, and the two continued walking like this. At some point, Cassia felt that the atmosphere around her became a little strange. She wanted to say something, but turned her head and saw Ye Jielin being covered by
The face was blurred by light and shadow, so it was all swallowed into the stomach.
The distance of one or two kilometers seemed too short for the two of them. Ye Jielin stood in front of a three-story house that was growing moss. For some reason, she sighed heavily. Cassia could not figure out Ye Jie's words from the side.
In her mind, Lin looked at the rich steam floating from the side of the house into the night sky, with the same heaviness as Ye Jielin's sigh. The skin on her face felt the heat escaping from the steam, and she remained silent.
The temperature of the hot spring here seems to be a little different from that of other small buildings.
Ye Jielin opened the iron door with some paint in front of her and stepped in first. Cassia quickly followed and closed it smoothly.
"Geothermal heat will continue to transfer and is not static. Here is an example. There are several natural springs next to the house. The homeowner said that the temperature of the hot spring water suddenly increased a lot two years ago and is no longer suitable for humans.
It soaked down. Therefore, it is difficult to rent out the house." Ye Jielin brought Cassia into the hall on the first floor. The air circulation system has been running, but it has not been able to get rid of the musty smell accumulated inside in three days.
, "In fact, even if the temperature is normal, few people come here."
Ye Jielin turned on the light. There were only a few chairs and a large wooden table in the hall. Several commonly used weapons were naturally placed on it. Two forged steel swords were polished very brightly and reflected slightly.
Light.
"We usually rest here. There are many rooms. You can choose one at will." Ye Jielin said, walking to the table and pouring a glass of cold water. "The communication machine is in the corner. It has not been turned on in the past few days. I originally
I thought you and Selmer would spend a lot of time there."
"Delline is dead?"
Cassia nodded, and Ye Jielin breathed a sigh of relief, finally accomplishing something worthy of joy.
"That's good." She said, put down the cup, and talked about another thing, "Didn't I say there might be something you want here?"
Cassia was stunned for a moment, looked around the room, and looked at Ye Jielin with a puzzled face.
Ye Jielin waved her hand again: "After your hands begin to shed their skin, if you don't use some cosmetics to disguise them and suppress the darker skin, it will be easy to be discovered. In the military school
People have sharp eyes. Whether it is a group of coaches or the logistics department staff who maintain the daily operation of the school, there are many people who have been inserted by other forces. It may not be obvious in the early stage, but in the later stages of the development of the operation, there is no
The dark brown hand skin will stay with you for a long time until you are done."
"New students may not know what this means, but those people are different. Their heads are like small mobile libraries. It is impossible not to see that you are developing surgical procedures."

Cassia smiled dryly and nodded. He really didn't pay attention to this aspect.
