Although there are means of transportation such as guided motorcycles, if you don't go to the side roads and only take the main road, the four-wheeled guided motorcycles are faster and have a higher safety factor.
Since everyone was in a hurry, no one spoke along the way. Claire drove in a muffled voice, using maximum horsepower. There was no one on the road at this time, so she could drive as fast as she wanted. It was not until she entered the city that she gradually dropped the speed back to normal.
category.
Rean had a feeling that this was both Claire's thoughtfulness and a way for her to vent her emotions.
The military off-road vehicle stopped in front of the stairs next to the central square, and Claire finally spoke:
"You probably plan to use this place as a temporary base."
"Does the Major already know?"
Machias pushed up his glasses, surprise written all over his face.
It is not surprising that a temporary base is needed. To find out the people who formed the association, it is necessary to summarize and sort out the existing intelligence.
The old Class VII had a deep and complicated background. They were neither able nor willing to use the facilities of the Derflinger, so it was not difficult to guess that they would look elsewhere.
The question is how Claire knew the specific location.
The building adjacent to the central square is none other than the offices and dormitories of the Special Assignment Support Section of the old Crossbell Police Department.
It was here that a group of people known as "heroes" in Crossbell began their legend.
After the Empire occupied Crossbell, due to the position of the Support Section, it was naturally sealed off and became a building affiliated with the Governor's Mansion.
During this inspection by the Control Council, he was handed over to Machias and Reiner. Machias had obtained the relevant permission before departure, and his work was temporarily handed over to Reiner.
Ordinarily, only Machias and Reiner know about this matter.
"It's just the result of analysis."
Claire rolled down the car window and turned her gaze to the three-story building that had been closed for a year.
"The Railway Gendarmerie has also done similar inspection work. This is a common way to delay time. First, throw out irrelevant matters such as whether the construction is in violation of regulations. On the one hand, it consumes the time and energy of the relevant personnel. On the other hand, it uses these time
Remedies are usually related to accounts. It is probably due to the attention of the staff of the Governor's Mansion. Your Excellency, the Governor would not do such a petty thing."
"I think so."
Machias nodded.
Although he, like Rean, has no good impression of Rufus, he will not deny this noble man's demeanor, skill, and courage.
"Anyway, I also know that this road is full of dangers, and I have already come to my senses. But there are many buildings belonging to the Governor's Palace, why would the Major identify this one?"
"Because here you have the equipment and lines you need. Although this is the same for the Guerrilla Association, but compared to the association, the meaning of this place is more special. You may also think so, to replace them who are unable to move and solve the problem."
"As expected of Major Claire." Rean praised.
"There's no benefit in praising me. I can't help anyway. It was the same last time." Claire's expression was somewhat regretful.
"You have helped us a lot."
Li En, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the door and got out of the car, and the three people and the cat in the back seat did the same.
"Whether it's the last time or this time, I'll take care of the branch principal again."
"I will contact Rector as soon as I arrive at the branch. I will look forward to your victory in Mithulam."
After saying that, Claire raised the car window, started the engine again, and drove away.
Li En kept watching, just like a month ago.
At that time, he also watched Claire leave like this.
Of course, the same goes for what follows.
He withdrew his gaze and received strange looks from Alyssa and Emma.
The same is true for left and right stance.
Rean couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Do you also want to say that the major is different from before?"
"How do you know?" Alyssa crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.
Emma tilted her head: "Yeah?"
"That's what Fei and Laura said during the last internship." Rean chose to tell the truth.
"They also noticed it." Emma smiled lightly.
"Anyway, it was you who did something to her with 'that'."
Alyssa also softened her expression, but immediately tensed up again.
"You won't tell her that secret, right? Don't forget her identity!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget it, and neither will the major." If she could forget it, she wouldn't be in so much pain.
"That's good." Alyssa was relieved.
But she let it go, and Machias started again.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? What secret? What is 'that'? What did you do?"
"Because I haven't had time to tell you yet, let's go in and talk."
Alyssa, whom Rean met last night, went to see Emma again.
Although the main target is Alyssa's mother and Emma's grandmother, it is undeniable that Machias, the three former classmates of Class VII in Crossbell, was treated differently.
This made Rean a little embarrassed, but fortunately Machias didn't mind and knew that the witch and equipment had higher priority than him.
Under the leadership of Machias, four people and one cat walked into this small building belonging to the support department.
The signboard above the main entrance has been removed, but the interior of the house has not been damaged, but it has accumulated a lot of dust because no one has lived in it for a long time.
Even so, it still gives people a warm feeling, and it can be seen that the support department cares about "home".
Perhaps because of this, the four of them felt that this place was somewhat similar to the third dormitory where the old Class VII lived. The third dormitory was obviously much larger than this one, and the dining room and living room were also separated separately.
After closing the door, Li En did not stop on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor.
Randy told him that there might be a precious treasure left there that was not taken away. If there was a chance, he hoped that Li En would help get it.
Rean found this treasure on the desk in the first room at the corner of the second floor.
It was a wooden photo frame, and inside the photo frame was a family photo from the Support Section.
Although the people inside were not uniformly dressed and had different heights and shapes, they all had bright smiles on their faces.
They must have been very happy at that time, so Randy said it was a treasure.
What is precious is not the photo itself, but the memories.
Rean went up to the second floor. Machias, Alyssa, Emma and Serenu naturally did not stay on the first floor and also saw this photo.
"This is--"
"Indeed, they are different from ordinary police officers."
"Well, there is a large dog inside and a little girl. Could it be that she is——?"
"Just like that dog, it exudes an extraordinary spirit."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can see it tonight. Let's take a look at it later." Li En put the photo in his backpack.
Emma nodded: "I heard my mother say it."
"Mom?" Alyssa was slightly taken aback, "I remember your mother already——"
"Because something happened."
Emma said and looked at Rean, who answered.
"Let me tell you. I originally planned to tell you everything today."
Machias interrupted: "Wait, although I am very curious about what you want to say, the most important thing now is the government's request. First, collect intelligence and find out the location of the association."
"No need to look for it, I know where they are. Listen to what I have to say and you will understand - and wait for the last guest by the way." Li En shook his head and stretched.
We are all our own people and it feels good not to have to hide.
