"Is that a good or bad result?" said McGree, recalling the names and information of several people Lisuman had told him a few days earlier, asking for the most important things.

"Well、、、 that's good. With a nonchalant and lazy tone, there weren't many things that could make Lisuman pay attention, and this matter was not in her head at all. Only a few days ago barely stayed in the attention, and after spending some time searching, Lisuman never asked again, all of them let a few of his lieutenants deal with, "The most important two are still there, and the others are mostly foils, making up enough moves." ”

"Are you going to start acting? Isn't it too early?" only then did she react to the tone, and after Lisuman finished speaking, she also felt that it was inappropriate, and after a short thought, she figured out what everyone was preparing for, "You are going to the frontier region, where the chance of conflict is not very high." A bunch of people running over just make the number look like a lot and make it look lively. It's not like I haven't told you about the photos and messages on the black market, it's obvious that it was me and Redman's planned stand-in 'Soriatu', and who knows where the real Kasia is hiding now? I don't understand why you did such a grand welcome ceremony because of a stand-in. ”

"Whether it's now, or in the future, there will always be situations when truth doesn't matter. Many people just want to find a rational fuse, as long as they are sure that it was ignited, it no longer matters who lit it. There is a good chance that the situation in the border area will turn out to be like this, and this is what worries me. It's true that no one knows where Kasia is hiding now, but he will definitely do it again. In response to Lisuman's words, McGree thought about what she needed to ask and what to tell Lisuman before she got in touch.

Lisuman usually makes reasonable judgments about situations, but McQuarry also senses that she has had too much fun with the stand-in to be so focused on it that she will not bother with the plans she had made not long ago.

Reminders are useless, and almost all of the people McQuarry has come into contact with have changed over time, in terms of style and personality. Lisuman is the only one who is a special case in his perception. It seems that in the decades when she went to the tundra, the environment became a refrigerator, which kept Lisuman "fresh and preserved" for a long time, or there was too little communication with the outside world, causing Lisuman to live in the world in her mind for a lot longer, so that the term "change" did not apply to her at all.

Probably this is the reason why the impression that Lisuman has on himself at the moment can still coincide with his student days, McQuarry thought.

"Remember to let those people set off for the frontier region, and in ten days, I will send them the address by contact, and Miss Hilda will pick them up. ”

"Miss Hilda?" said Lisuman's words, "I thought you were going to the border. The woman was too boring, and she had been seen in the cemetery, holding a third of the holy spear, and the crowd could only watch dryly. ”

McGree was tempted to say, "You're one of those people too," and thought about it, which would be tantamount to causing Lisuman to stretch out the topic, so he pursed his mouth and didn't answer.

"Since you didn't lead the team, then I'll stay in Manoma, there are enough people there, and I can't find a fun place to play in the past. Lisuman was completely unaware of Macquarie's movements, "There's something going on here, I've had a lot of time after that, and I want to go to the Chiraandi family for coffee with you." ”

"Don't come. Immediately after Lisuman's words, as if subconsciously spoken, because McGree instinctively felt abnormal, but then he still had to say something to remedy it, "Miss Hilda is leading the team because I do have a lot of things in my hands, and you really can't spare much time when you come to me." Ten days later, when the stand-in is close to the frontier of the Empire, I will visit the Knights of the Round Table station. This thing wants to invite you to come with me, which seems more reassuring. ”

"Where are the Knights of the Round Table stationed?" said Lisuman's interest began to wane, "I thought you stayed in Manoma because something more interesting. However, I don't have any impression of the Knights of the Round Table station and Ye Jielin, so I can follow you to see it. This is more important than the situation in the border area?"

"Yeterin is the only clue that can make Cassia appear at the moment. If the enemy's side wants to be safe, they will put a lot of effort into her. ”

"The only clue 、、、" Lisuman muttered, but it gave McGree a bad feeling. These things are supposed to be information that everyone knows, but in Lisuman's case, Macquarie has the illusion that she doesn't pay attention to anything other than the stand-in. Even if you pay attention to it, it seems to be forgotten after a while.

"You were talking about the right person, you were talking about it?"

"At the beginning, it was the two brothers on the left and right, but considering the Holy Emperor Hall, the strength is still not enough. Tovelest's people plus the Holy Fathers, especially the Far Frontier priests who have been recalled with you, make me a little worried. ”

"I'm familiar with those words. Lisuman spoke, and the sound of her opening the bottle was heard at the same time, "Tell me when you act, I'll come to your meeting in advance." I got a lot of free time, but lately everyone has been busy preparing various things, and it's been very boring. ”

"Fifteen days from now. Macquarie thought for a moment, "At that time, I will prepare coffee beans grown in the north of the empire, and I heard that it is good." ”

The communication was cut off soon after, and Lisuman, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, drank the wine in the glass, looked at the communicator in his hand, and collapsed on the bed with a bang, shaking off the fashion impurities piled up on the cabinet next to him: "It's so boring、、、" She looked at the ceiling and re-entered her imagination, as if this time would pass faster.

After the train incident, if there is anything suspicious, Kasia will no longer treat it as an accident. If you encounter too many abnormal situations in a period of time, it can already explain the problem. Among the small nations, the status of the intercontinental train is similar to that of a retrain within an empire, and for a long, long time, except for those who have power within the big powers, everyone else will not touch it. Doing things like attacking and intercepting, or destroying orbits, can have consequences for doing so in the Empire that go beyond the dispatch of a special operations agency.

"Intercontinental trains have only appeared in the past 100 years, and it was the organization and leadership of small countries to sign cooperation agreements that allowed the railway network to be rolled out smoothly in small countries. It is said that it borrowed from the construction of many giant national railway lines. Nighthawk's words rang in his ears, "The common interests of all small countries, in the first ten years, it was led by the members of the organization, and each small country sent auxiliary members to jointly manage it. At that time, many warnings were issued, in order to establish the status of the intercontinental train route in the cumbersome power of the small countries in those ten years or so, and it must not be shaken rashly, otherwise it will inevitably pay the price. ”

"It works very well, because even mercenaries, or a large group of surgeons, can't resist the organization. It took several years to purge many of these unbelieving warnings from the countries that allowed the intercontinental train network to survive. ”

"I remember that intercontinental train lines operate all year round, and only in extreme weather will they be suspended. Borrowing from the technology of many giant countries, the failure rate is not very high. After speaking, Nighthawk waved his hand, "Do you want to go back, it's too hot around, and now you can only wait for the maintenance team to come." ”

Kasia shook her head and watched Nighthawk return to the train, her eyes returning to the front. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the train came to its current position with emergency braking. Immediately, the announcement sounded through the horn in the carriage.

The foundation of the railroad track collapsed in a section nearly 100 meters long. Fortunately, there is a nearby station, and the maintenance team is already on the way with materials and personnel. Just listening to the estimation of the staff on the train, if the train wants to move forward again, it will have to wait at least until the early hours of the morning.

Kasia had already gone to the front to see that there was no trace of manificiality in the part where he had collapsed, like the bad result of the heavy rain a few days ago. It's just that the timing is too coincidental, so that Kasia and they have to be suspicious.

Emerging from the crowd of travelers, Kasia slowly walked back to his carriage. The surroundings are quiet and there is nothing unusual about it. It was the afternoon, the sun was strong, and the sight was unusually wide at the moment, and at a glance you could see far, far away, and the enemy would not attack the train in such a situation.

The ground was still wet, and the skin could feel the heat steaming up from above. The air was dull, and it was cool when I got back to the carriage.

The owl had not yet returned, and when he got off the train, he walked back along the tracks. It is to bypass the view of the members on the train and go to the distance on both sides of the track to see the real-time situation. There are black dots on both sides of the village, and if there is a road connection, it will be easy to transport some weapons for long-range attacks. Here the small country shares a border with the common state of the far sea, and it will be very convenient for the enemy to transport supplies.

The wait seemed uneasy, and around four o'clock, Kasia closed the book and glanced at Nighthawk in the seat behind him. Thinking about how to remind her to check the area around the train, or dig some fortifications in advance in case of a possible attack at night. But it was Nighthawk who noticed the sight and glanced up at Kasia, his eyes signaling that there was no need to worry.

"No anomalies were found on either side, the ground was soft after the rain, and no traces of the mass procession were found for the time being. "At five o'clock in the afternoon, the communication rang out, and the results of owls probing the surroundings came. By the time he returned, it was evening.

As the sunlight began to wane, about forty or so members of the group quietly disembarked from the train and began to lay some improvised traps in the long strip area on either side of the tracks, following the improvised map drawn by the owl. It's just that in addition to the reinforced steel-hulled bombs, there are also a lot of signal flares. And according to the difference with the distance from the train, the color of the signal flare has also been deliberately distinguished.

Soon after, a double-headed train with five carriages in between, arrived at the last bit of dusk with a column of steam smoke. It was an emergency repair vehicle, with a large pile of necessary building materials and two small construction machines to re-excavate the foundation.

Nighthawk and several captains got out of the car with a bunch of passengers to determine the status of the repairs. The full-time maintenance personnel above, as well as the interior of the train, could hide some of the enemy.

Soon after, a snow-bright searchlight was erected, and the collapsed section of the railway was illuminated white. Nighthawk and the others returned to the carriage and followed up on the progress of setting up the trap. The other group of people got off the train with improvised tools and went to dig trenches and other fortifications on both sides of the train at about 8 o'clock in the evening. The maintenance work in front of the intercontinental train is very lively, and even the incomprehensible songs of the maintenance personnel can be heard from time to time.

"Could it be a code?" Nighthawk and Isa, who heard this, didn't know for a moment how to evaluate or examine Kasia. At its roots, Kasia's sensitivity to the environment, as well as her ability to think about it, are not in the same position as the two.

Insects chirped outside the window, squeezing into the car in the gap between the maintenance noises ahead, and it looked distorted. Kasia finished reading another book, and he closed it, and looked at the time, which was nearly nine o'clock.

"How long is it left?" the speed of the vehicle was fast, and the wind whined.

"Expected for an hour. After a pause, the voice was tired. In order to catch up with the goal of the news, they have not rested for a long time. However, this has to be done, the physical functions of the special test subject are weakening over time, and the potion can help the test subject survive for a while, but it still cannot prevent the onset of chronic death caused by the defect. Until then, they must re-determine the target's location and identity accuracy in preparation for the next real-time tracking.
