"What's the matter, boss."
Ling Yu almost grabbed Jiesi's hand and ran all the way, but fortunately, this unnatural movement did not attract much attention, and the two ran along the mountain road for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped at a sentry box for tourists to rest.
"Scan the surroundings!" Ling Yu put his hand in his coat, grasped the handle of the "Enigma", leaned against a stone pillar thick enough and looked around vigilantly, not forgetting to block Jiesi behind him.
"How ......"
"Do as I say!"
"It's done, no anomalous situations, and no anomalous targets appear." Jiesi also seemed to rarely see Ling Yu's order so serious and urgent, so she chose to carry it out without hesitation.
"Scan me, then scan yourself, make sure you don't get a tracker or anything like that." Ling Yu's tone softened slightly, but he was still a little uneasy.
"No problems, nothing special." Jesse's left eye flickered again, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"It's not right," Ling Yu finally removed his hand from the handle of the gun under his armpit and leaned against the pillar with a sigh of relief, "I have a bad premonition. ”
"Is it just a hunch?" Jeunsy tapped her chin lightly with her right hand, a habitual gesture she was thinking about, "This doesn't look like your style." ”
"This kind of premonition has only appeared three times so far," Ling Yu closed his eyes and carefully recalled the feeling just now, "It started from the space station, the first time was when I was targeted by the machine Qì man's punch, that is, the mystery, this perception saved my life; The second time was on the 47th, the moment the electromagnetic pistol was fired, I forcibly adjusted my posture in the air, only to suffer skin trauma, and let the killers make a wrong judgment; And then there's just now. ”
"However, I always feel that the previous two times were completely different." Jesse frowned, "Although I'm not good at perception as a mechanic, the 'void' can completely make up for these problems......"
"Anyway, that girl makes me feel very dangerous," Ling Yu put her hand on Jeunse's shoulder, thought for a moment, and then stated, "And she definitely doesn't look like an ordinary person." ”
"I think she's disabled," Jess raised her hand and grabbed Ling Yu's fingers on her shoulder, making Ling Yu feel a hint of warmth, "You can see those boots, no model of power armor or military exoskeleton we know of can be matched, even as a custom weapon, it looks a bit outdated and bulky." ”
"Besides, I've scanned it, Ren Xiu is an ordinary person, and on the other hand, it's normal for us to meet people with high status in the ACA on the territory of the ACA, isn't it?" Seeing that Ling Yu was still silent, Jiesi added.
"There are still doubts, if the little girl is disabled, then how did she get rid of the bodyguard?"
"I feel like she's fully mobile, otherwise she wouldn't be running around with an easel," Jeunsy crossed her hip with one hand, giving an explanation that she thought was reasonable, "An ounce of cleverness, an ounce of luck and half an ounce of rebellion would be enough." ”
"That's got to be a quart of luck." Ling Yu didn't dwell on this issue, obviously, Yi Qiē was normal, there were no chasers, no traps, and no trackers or anything like that, although he was not very reluctant, but he accepted Jiesi's explanation, "Let's go back quickly, I hope it's just my illusion." ”
"Hmm." Jesse nodded, then took Ling Yu's arm again, and the two walked out from behind the pillar like a couple, walking along the avenue towards the parking lot down the hill.
"Speaking of which, listening to your description, you didn't have this kind of perception before?"
"The first time it appeared was on the space station, and if there had been before, I would have had this kind of premonition of danger before being hit by a meteorite and flying around like a rag doll."
"Looks like you've been mutated by cosmic rays, Hulk."
“…… It's not funny at all. ”
Ling Yu sighed and turned her head to look at Jesse, but unlike in the past, when she always told jokes with a warm smile, it seemed that after casually making that joke, Jeunsi herself realized something and fell into deep thought.
It was really a long day, and in the end, Ling Yu, who still didn't open his mouth to disturb Jiesi, sighed silently in his heart, he raised his head and looked at the sunset in the sky in the distance.
Dating? A wry smile was almost imperceptible, and in the red sky, vaguely, it seemed to reflect a shadow with a short ponytail.

"Bell-"
Saturday, January 28, 2178.
The hour hand pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, and Ling Yu was inserting the pickaxe in his hand into the nose of the statue of Christ.
"Communication check."
"In good condition."
The barb of the climbing assist boot got stuck in Christ's lips, and the owner of the boot jumped from his upper lip to his nose with a force on his right leg.
"How does climbing feel, boss?"
"It's not bad, what about you, as the girlfriend of a movie star, you should also be the sparkling storage zài at the ball."
Ling Yu rolled over and took off again, landing on top of the statue of Christ, he turned around, looked at the hollows left by his mountaineering pickaxe and climbing boots under his feet, and scratched his head - fortunately this was not a real monument, but just a later imitation, so there was no need to feel guilty about destroying the artifact.
"We haven't gone in yet, Ling Yu, but don't worry, I'll be optimistic about your little girlfriend." Logan's voice came, still with an under-beaten tone, "Speaking of Ling Yu, have you ever heard the jokes of that Girls' Day and Women's Day?" Come back early and take your little knight ...... Uh-"
"Help me strangle him, Jessy, I'll give you a raise." Ling Yu listened to the thumping sound over there, symbolically supporting his "own people", and at the same time put away the mountaineering equipment, erased the traces left by himself, put it in his bag and threw it off the cliff.
"It's an honor, boss." Obviously, Jess had time to reply that the beating of Logan was over, "I specifically avoided the face, don't worry." ”
"Knights card punishment service, buy one get one free, kill and bury, tsk." Ling Yu took out a black gliding suit from another bag, and then took off his black mountaineering jacket, revealing a tights coated with cold oil, "Mr. Craig, please comment on the service." ”
"Hey, I really miss that pure Ling Yu back then," although he was taught a lesson, Logan was still a hero, "It's only been a few days since I had a girlfriend, and I forgot about my brother, tsk, isn't there a god of righteousness in the East, Guan Yu?" Beware of his punishment for you, a guy of the opposite sex and inhumanity. ”
"I don't know who has a home for 300 days a year and doesn't come back, and takes 'sleeping all over the world' as his own responsibility' to commit crimes all over the world."
Ling Yu zipped up his sliding suit and ended the bickering when he had the advantage, "Getting down to business, I'm OK here, you can go in." ”
"The show is on."
"Boss, be careful, if there is an accident, you must be safe first and don't take risks."
The voices of Logan and Jess came from the headset respectively, which made Ling Yu feel a little relieved, he touched the military dagger hanging behind his waist, and took out the mystery again to examine it - this black technology pistol has now been changed to the appearance of a Remington DTF-877 offensive pistol, powered by a metric fusion battery, which can shoot six rounds, and the charging mode has been canceled, but it is indestructible within 50 meters.
Wearing the tactical eyepiece with built-in AI, after initialization, the sky in front of Ling Yu's eyes turned into a series of red and green tracks - this is the scanning path of the drone, and the green is the vulnerability in this huge network.
"The action begins."
Ling Yu gave the final order, and according to the plan, the three of them immediately entered the radio silence, Ling Yu took a deep breath and glanced down at the brightly lit city at his feet.
"The spoon does not save zài."
Reciting a line like a magic spell, the young man, who did not carry any flying equipment or parachute, rushed forward three steps and jumped from the commanding heights of the city.
***
Mount Cocovado is 709 meters above sea level, and the new statue of Christ, inaugurated in 2145, is 42 meters tall – four meters higher than the previous one.
Downhill without deceleration is not difficult for TF at this altitude, as early as 100 years ago, on 2012-05-23, former RAF pilot and stuntman Gary Connery (Gary Connery) completed the first parachute glide at a similar height - 730 meters, of course, given that he is just an ordinary person, it is understandable that 16,000 cardboard boxes were prepared at the end of the runway as cushions.
However, compared to the world No. 1, this guy is best known for his performance at the 2012 London Olympics in the face of Elizabeth II and parachuting into the London Bowl under the escort of 007 actor Daniel Craig.
Ling Yu glanced at the upper right corner of the eyepiece, slightly surprised, when his right foot jumped out, the young man turned on the overclocking state, and when he thought that the above nonsense about history would consume a lot of time, he found that only three seconds had passed - his body had not yet begun to fall.
It seems that the speed of thinking about my overclocking state is much faster than before, the relationship between cosmic rays?
Without any further delay, the moment his body felt the pull of gravity, the young man pulled the pull ring on his left shoulder, and the gliding surface between his armpits and legs unfolded rapidly, inhibiting Ling Yu's falling speed.
The suit was inspired by flying squirrels, rodents that glide between the treetops and the ground - of course, it's a nice way to say it, it's not a good way to say it, and Ling Yu is now floating in the air like a rag thrown from the head of the statue of Christ.
"Heading 27, manual adjustments, marking checkpoints, instant updates on safe paths."
After giving the command to the AI in the eyepiece, Ling Yu began to carefully adjust his posture - it would take him 73 seconds to reach the target area at 120 kilometers per hour at full speed - of course, if he didn't have a suit, he would kiss the earth in a little more than 12 seconds, and even if he had a suit, he would have to be very careful to conserve energy.
"It looks like a qiēshun lì."
Half of the time passed quickly, and Ling Yu muttered alone, although he said so, the safe flight space left for him by Jess was simply anti-human, several times Ling Yu saw through the eyepiece that could display the invisible light scanner that the drone's scan line was almost close to himself, and the most dangerous time, the scan line even crossed the corner of the glide suit - an area of about five square centimeters, fortunately, this size is not enough for the drone's artificial intelligence to sound the alarm, because the waste paper can also fly so high.
However, just as Ling Yu had reached the end of the drone scanning network and was about to enter the infrared scanning area of Sanchez's private estate, the original green route in front of him instantly turned red, and Ling Yu only reacted a few tenths of a second more than the monitor - a drone temporarily changed the search route.
“FXXK!”
Drones will temporarily change their patrol route to avoid birds or other things while patrolling, but according to Jeunse, this probability is statistically negligible.
"Statistics, your sister!!"
It also only took a few tenths of a second for Ling Yu to decide on the way to deal with it—whether it was speed or the little energy left, it was impossible for him to change direction, gritting his teeth, the young man simply put his limbs together and retracted his sliding wings, and rushed straight to the target!
