Chapter 37: The Pink Cloak

“…… Yesterday, the alliance and the ACA reached a tacit ceasefire on the South African front, according to the official statistical report, the alliance's losses are slightly smaller than the ACA, but the reports of both sides tacitly ignore the content of the attack on the Alberton base, although it is reported that the ACA still punished the person in charge of the base. According to unconfirmed information, the ACA has put a bounty on the two TFs who attacked the Alberton base, and due to military intervention and the protection of personal privacy, we are not authorized to release the information of the wanted persons......"

-- The Alliance Times

The Corcovado Hills, the vantage point of Rio de Janeiro, are world-famous for their colossal statue of Christ - although the original has been destroyed in the war, most visitors don't care about this replica built in 2145 and still come to the city to admire the sculpture - of course, for the people of the League, it takes a little courage to go to the city under the rule of the ACA.

"If I hadn't seen those things in South Africa, I think I would have given the ACA a lot of points because of the city."

On the long trail of the Corcovado Mountains, Jesse covered half of her face with a huge lady's hat, and she took Ling Yu's hand, which was not so comfortable, and slowly moved her legs wrapped in white high-heeled boots, "Except for the annoying secret police." ”

"From a historical point of view, it is easier for a centralized system to establish order, help society restore normal production and life, and even explode at an astonishing rate of progress," Ling Yu raised his hand and pushed his sunglasses, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness, embarrassment or simply hot and humid climate, the young man's face sweated a lot, "However, centralization and dictatorship are different, and the biggest difference is the absolutization of rights." ”

"Absolute power brings absolute corruption, absolutely, sooner or later." Jesse shook her head and sighed, "I don't need you to say it, I know sooner or later the Knights will have to make changes to avoid becoming the next ACA. ”

"Rome wasn't built in a day," in fact, Ling Yu's words just now were just casual emotion, and they didn't mean to target the Knights, so Jiesi's somewhat rebellious confession made him look a little embarrassed, "Take your time, there is something called the inevitability of the times." ”

"Poof, boss, you're kind of pretending to be a historian." Jesse stuck out her tongue.

"What do you mean by pretending, I am," Ling Yu was ashamed, obviously not planning to tell Sù Jiesi that these words were quoted from Han Fei, and he didn't even change his tone and pause.

"Closer to the point, you don't really just want to pull me out on a date to see the scenery, you haven't told me how to sneak in." Ling Yu raised his head, the two of them had approached the end of the long mountain road, the back of the huge statue of Christ was already clearly visible, and not far in front of them was the terminal of the battery car.

"Hey, how do you say that, King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts." Jesse pursed her lips and looked at it.

"Ahem, animated movies are also old movies." It seemed to contain too many hints, and Ling Yu's words seemed a little inexplicable.

"Forget it, I've lost to you," Jiesi spread her hands, not sure if Ling Yu understood her complaint, "Well, to put it simply, in the core city where the ACA is completely controlled, it is impossible for you to sneak into the safe house of Sanchez's manor from the ground. ”

"I naturally understand this," Ling Yu felt Jiesi's arm loosen a little bit, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "You want to approach from the air?" Any flying machine is a living target. ”

"It's true that any flying 'machine' is a live target," Jiesi gritted her teeth and emphasized the word "machine", "but the flying 'person' is not." ”

"Speak human words." Ling Yu didn't understand.

"The reason is very simple," Jiesi let go of Ling Yu's arm, walked quickly to a bench on the side of the road, folded her skirt and sat down ladylikely, and then patted the other half of the stool at Ling Yu, "Come, Ling Yu, this way." ”

"Hmm," Ling Yu glanced at the sentry box not far away, casually scanning the newspaper, but his eyes were sharp and loose on the outside and tight on the inside, trying to make his steps look natural.

"I have gathered some intelligence, and the surveillance of ultra-low-altitude targets by the ACA garrison in Rio is mainly carried out by three means, infrared detection, visual inspection by patrol personnel, acoustic radar scanning, in addition to the occasional early warning drone that flies by."

Jiesi took Ling Yu's hand and tilted her head to lean on Ling Yu's shoulder, but her mouth was saying extremely strict things.

"Of course, this is a scanning method for flying targets below 100 meters, and higher ones will be detected by radar. So the boss, your only option is to find a way to fly to the roof of Sanchez's manor from here, and keep the altitude below 100 meters the whole time. ”

"Why here?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Because gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy." Jiesi's answer made Ling Yu frown, and Jiesi, who had made a little joke, had a smile on her conspiracy and explained, "No engine-type device can hide from the monitor, and the Knights' most advanced stealth paraglider can't do it. ”

"So you mean that I jumped off the head of Christ and then fell from the air into the manor at an altitude of 100 meters?"

"You can't bring a parachute yet, you have to land hard," Jessie continued to increase the difficulty of the game, "The parachute is too easy to spot, compared to the glide suit that can remain in optical camouflage for a period of time to cope with the naked eye." ”

"What about infrared scanning?" Ling Yu glanced at the huge statue of Christ again.

"I have this," Jess took her head off Ling Yu's shoulder, then opened her bag and took out a bear jar that was like a one-liter water bottle.

"It's ......"

"The new product, cold oil, can cover the infrared signal of the target unit, and it will not produce thermal cavities, the thicker the thickness, the more obvious the covering effect, but for the average human body temperature, just apply a thin layer of sunscreen," Jiesi stuffed the pink bear kettle into Ling Yu's arms, and then took out a small bottle from the bag, unscrewed the lid and smeared a little on the back of her hand, "The same thing, it also has the effect of sun protection." ”

"Honestly, I don't like to put this slimy thing on my hands," Ling Yu put the kettle in his travel backpack, "but there seems to be no better way, you can handle it with a drone." ”

"The drone for ground scanning is not seamless, and when the time comes, I will remotely direct you to plan the route for you." Jiesi packed the "sunscreen", then stood up and took Ling Yu's hand, "Let's go, since you're here, let's go around the statue of Jesus." ”

"Well, but let's talk about it first," Ling Yu stood up and raised his eyebrows, "It's just a tour, not a date." ”

"Tsk, King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts."

“…… I'll hit you. ”

****

"What a great view!!"

Jeunse Meno stood on the pedestal of the statue of Christ, holding on to the railing with both hands, looking at the city and the bay in the distance. Her light blue dress and long golden hair were gently held up by the sea breeze, and under the imprint of the sky, white clouds and sea, it was like a beautiful oil painting, making Ling Yu subconsciously want to take out her mobile phone and take a picture of this picture.

However, Ling Yu finally changed his mind, he raised his hand, also sorted out his bangs that were blown by the sea breeze, and walked to Jiesi's side with his hands in his pockets, he was not the first time to come to Rio, but the young man who had been in a hurry had never been to such a scenic spot.

"Actually, boss, you should live a little easier." Jesse took off her hat, her eyes still resting on the beautiful landscape, "This way, perhaps, you can understand what you live for and fight." ”

"Thank you," Ling Yu didn't know why Jiesi said that, he just nodded, "But I have my own judgment." ”

"When I was very young, my father told me, 'If you want to understand why you became a knight, why you fight, why you gave your life, go to every corner of the world.'" Jiesi turned her head and looked at Ling Yu thoughtfully, "If it is a miracle that life can be born on the earth, then our responsibility is to protect this miracle, this civilization, and this beautiful and beautiful thing." ”

"It's human nature to destroy," Ling Yu, who was silent for more than ten seconds, seemed to be thinking about whether to say it, and said after seeing Jiesi's expectant gaze, "Destroy nature, destroy each other, and even destroy yourself...... This is the unchangeable nature engraved in the genes of human beings when they have evolved all the way, and even this Christ statue was rebuilt after the destruction of the war, isn't it? ”

"But it will be rebuilt again," Jiesi responded to the pessimistic Ling Yu with a clear and beautiful smile, "If destruction is a compulsory course for human growth, then reconstruction is an essential after-school homework, take 10,000 steps back and say, human beings are destined to self-destruction, so why not enjoy it while this qiē has not yet befallen us?" As I said, I, we, are alive is a miracle in itself. ”

"Your optimism is something I've never seen before, and so is your pursuit of life." Ling Yu's evaluation was a bit mean, but he still smiled in the end, "However, I don't hate it. ”

"You're going to love that," Jess stuck out her tongue, "because it's correct." ”

Ling Yu was about to say something, suddenly, there was a sound of shelves turning over to the general jingle behind him, and the two TFs turned around in the direction of the sound vigilantly, but there was no expected enemy attack, on the contrary, there was only an oil painting easel that fell to the ground, paint jars that rolled everywhere, and a pink figure lying upright on the ground.

"Uh-" Jiesi was about to step forward subconsciously, Ling Yu also subconsciously pulled Jiesi's hand, but when the girl's gaze swept over, he quickly let go of his hand, and then nodded as if he made up.

"Well, how's it going, it's okay."

Jiesi quickly ran to the pink figure who fell to the ground, and only then did Ling Yu notice that it was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old who was struggling to get up on the ground, the pink cloak almost enveloping her entire body, revealing only silver hair and emerald green pupils.

The girl didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and then got up with a very slow movement, Ling Yu stepped forward and helped her easel up, noticing that under her knees were a pair of large, disproportionate metal boots.

Is it a disabled person? Ling Yu leaned down again, picked up a few nearby cans of paint, and then exchanged a look with Jiesi, but Jiesi didn't think about it that much, just helped the little girl up, and then patted the dust on her cloak.

The girl raised her hand and gently patted Jiesi's shoulder, then pointed to the easel in Ling Yu's hand, and then pointed to a high platform with a good view next to her.

"Are you going to put your easel here?" Ling Yu understood what she meant, and then placed the easel in the designated place, placed the paint jar in his hand underneath, and opened the drawing board by the way.

"It's beautiful! Did you draw this? Jiesi subconsciously praised as she picked up a few cans of paint that had rolled far away, and Ling Yu turned her head and showed a surprised expression - this painting of a girl who seemed to be unable to speak, and whose legs seemed to be mechanical prosthetics, was no less than any famous painting that these two laymen had ever seen.

The little girl nodded, the two protrusions on the hood of her cloak that looked like cat ears shook slightly, and then, she curled the corners of her mouth, probably smiling.

However, Ling Yu frowned, looked around, and unsurprisingly, by the stairs in the distance, three men in black suits and sunglasses were rushing in this direction.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The man in sunglasses who bore the brunt of the problem asked about the girl in the cape with concern, and the girl nodded vigorously, then waved her hand, picked up the paintbrush, and signaled that she was okay.

"Hello, my name is Ren Xiu," the man in sunglasses who confirmed that the young lady was okay turned to Ling Yu, he took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand politely, "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

"Jeunse, this is my old ...... Ahem, boyfriend Ling Yu. With her signature sunny smile, Jesse shook the hand of the man in the suit, "Raise your hand, she's okay." ”

"Hmm." The man in the suit named Ren Xiu nodded, "It's okay, thank you." ”

"You're working quite hard, too," Jess seemed to want to say something, but Ling Yu stepped forward and interrupted her, "Then we won't bother and take our leave." ”

After speaking, ignoring Ren Xiu's expression, Ling Yu gently pulled Jiesi's hand, the girl didn't object, just threw a puzzled look, and followed Ling Yu to the exit.

"Captain, is there a problem with these two people?" Another man in sunglasses stepped forward and whispered.

"No, it's okay," Ren Xiu hesitated, twitched his eyebrows slightly, and put on his sunglasses again, "It's rare that Miss is in the mood to come out and rest, don't make any extraneous branches." ”

"Yes." The subordinate nodded, and turned back to his place.

Ren Xiu was still looking at the disappeared backs of Ling Yu and Jiesi, and he couldn't see his expression through his sunglasses.

And behind her, the air in front of the right eye of the girl in the pink cloak suddenly crossed like flowing water.
