At 7:00 a.m. the next morning, Alyssa's voice echoed through the third dormitory.

"What, Rien is missing again?"

"That, Fei is gone." Emma said weakly. Among the girls, she has been taking care of Faye, including calling her to get up, combing her hair, and so on.

"Serenu." Gaius crouched in front of the cat house and asked, "Did Lane and Faye leave the dormitory?" ”

"Meow~" nodded.

"Serenu is so clever. Did they leave together? Elliot asked.

"Meow~" nodded.

"Instructor, you didn't send them out again, did you?" Laura looked at Sarah, the former with a serious face, the latter with a careless appetite.

"That's right." Sarah admits without hesitation.

"For, why Fei." Laura was unusually excited, "I, can't we do it?" ”

This stupid girl, who fell in love with herself but didn't know it, Sarah sighed in her heart and decided to secretly push: "Faye is Lane's own teammate." ”

"That's right," Laura hung her head, a hint of gloom on her heroic face.

Continental Cross Railway train, 11:00 a.m.

"I see, that means that all the people who have suddenly shown their skills recently have disappeared, just last night."

"You don't need to blame yourself, you can't follow her 24 hours a day, so that the people in the group don't worry, this matter is not so simple, what does the association say?"

"You can follow Estelle and them for the time being, by the way, let Eliya and them close their doors today, and don't go anywhere."

"Oh, I really can't hide anything from you, I'll explain it to you later, let me go for the time being."

Putting the phone back in his duffel bag, Lane said to Fe, "Garcia is missing. ”

From yesterday's conversation, Faye learned about Lane's guerrilla identity, plus Sarah's consent, so she decided to go with Lane. Even if Rien told him later, Garcia didn't know about "Zephyr Brigade", and she didn't change her mind. Her mind was simple all the time, and she wanted to see her family.

Fei didn't speak, but looked straight at Rien, waiting for the next step.

"He disappeared with all the members of his "Rubacher", and he should have been involved in an incident."

"This incident is for Rien to deal with."

"That's right." Li En nodded and admitted, "Fei, let me say it again, this operation is dangerous, and it's too late to change your mind." ”

"Rien is so long-winded."

"I'm sorry." In order to calculate Harutman and Yoachim, for the sake of planning, Lane concealed too many things. For example, this time, he could have told Fei the information earlier, but he didn't, which made him feel guilty all the time.

"Lane doesn't have to apologize." At this moment, Fei's eyes are pure, you let me see my family, I want to thank you, that's enough.

"You." Li En habitually reached out and stroked Fei's head.

Fei narrowed her eyes, revealing a lazy expression like a cat. (To explain, Flash 2 Life mentioned that she vaguely knew that Garcia was in the south, but didn't know the details, and this time Rien gave her accurate information, as well as the news of Garcia's disappearance, and Faye couldn't sit still.) ）

Rozanbelk workshop, 14:40 p.m.

Ling is engrossed in operating the latest guidance terminal to obtain information about the entire Crossbell.

As a blue encrypted window popped up, she paused slightly.

"- Well, I see. Big brother, they seem to have finally come to this point. The attendees have arrived, and the invitations have been delivered, so the preparations for the banquet are all completed, right? ”

It is not difficult to judge from Ling's self-talk that the undercurrent of the entire Kezhou is all under her control, and the progress of the incident is also developing in the direction she wants under her deliberate guidance.

Acquiring and processing all the information, and then acting appropriately with the environment in which you live, this is the essence of Rei.

"Will it be Estelle and them who catch the ghost first, or will they be the big brothers? Or is it—" Speaking of Estelle, there was a hint of trance on her delicate face.

"You're still the same as you can see through everything." An old voice came from outside the door, and the white-haired old man Yoguru pushed the door in.

"Hehe, Ling is not blindly confident to that point." Seeing this old man who loved her very much, Ling smiled brightly, "What Ling sees is just intertwined cause and effect. Cause and effect, which play various roles respectively, what kind of work will be compiled in this place called Crossbell, Ling is just observing this place. ”

(Personally, I think that Ling should have obtained this ability to observe cause and effect because of the connection with Qiya through "true knowledge".) ）

"Well, I see. I don't know what the mafia and the Order have in mind, but it looks like it's going to cause a riot. Although the old man lived in seclusion, he knew the local information very well (because it was an old acquaintance of Mrs. Ilmeida, the fat black shopkeeper), "Forget it, that's self-inflicted—no, should it be karma?" ”

"That's right, maybe this is the karma accumulated in that gray city. - Originally, Ling thought that "Society" must be mixed in it, but she didn't expect "The Holy Maiden of Steel" to leave early, and even the sisters of "Iron Fleet" were taken with them. ”

"Because nominally this place is a buffer zone between the Church and the Society. The King forbade knights to move here, and the alliance leader would not send executors here, but only in name only. ”

"Since there is a grandfather's workshop here, it is not difficult to understand. But I didn't expect that even the remote system that could penetrate Crossbell's guide network was ready, and thanks to you, Ling won't be bored. ”

"If this works for you, it's not in vain that I've prepared it." Speaking of this, Yoguru snorted coldly, "Originally, when that guy was forced into me, I wanted to completely destroy it"

"The relationship between Hee Hee and "The Doctor" is still as bad as ever. The sixth pillar of the apostle who is the administrator of "The Thirteen Workshops" - Dr. Novatis. Obviously there is a "Star" network, but why are you interested in Epstein's test products now? ”

"Well, he's that kind of person. It's just trying to use it for his bad intentions. Speaking of this criminal, Yoguru's face was extremely bad, "Really, just spread the test that is still in development"

"It's the red samurai who fought with the big brother.,Judging from the situation displayed on the monitoring screen.,It seems to be a pretty good kid.。 The place where the network is connected is Rei's absolute realm, where she can do anything. (When Lloyd and the others were investigating "Rubacher", they came across the puppet weapon of the association.) ）

"There is still a problem with the freedom of situation judgment and the flexibility of action choice, and it really can't be compared with your 'partner'."

Ling smiled and looked behind the old man, although it was underground and there was no light, a huge silhouette could be vaguely seen. It was in Rei's darkest days, the partner who gave her light.

"Speaking of which, the doctor has already noticed that Ling is staying here, although "The Holy Maiden of Steel" is unparalleled in the world, her character is too upright."

"Compared to the seventh pillar, that guy is a scumbag!"

"Let's not talk about Ling, has the doctor mentioned anything about 'him'?" Unlike Yogurus, Ling has no ill feelings towards the Sixth Pillar.

"I haven't said anything yet, he seems to be keen on developing a new body now, and the posture control and joint structural enhancement that he was bothered with before have also been completed, so he won't have a chance to talk nonsense." Because this work behind him is the greatest pride of the old man's life.

"Thank you, Grandpa, so that you can start the final gamble."

"Hmm" Yoguru's old face was full of loneliness, as if his granddaughter's child was leaving, and he was alone.

"Don't put on that look," Ling said, "You taught me how to manipulate the puppet, made me a replacement for the real person, and hid me like this, I'm really grateful to Grandpa." ”

"Where, none of this is a big deal." The old man looked at Ling kindly, "Then again, it's going to be very busy today, right?" It's still a little early, so why don't we go for afternoon tea together? ”

"Yes." Ling looked up at her partner. "Patil Matiel, let's have tea. Today will be a long day, probably the longest since the establishment of the autonomous region. ”

Huge fuchsia humanoid eyes lit up.

At the top of the workshop, the silver-haired man closed his eyes slightly, as if listening to something.
