Steel steam and flame

"It's time to go back." Cassia reminded herself, but she closed her eyes first and focused all her attention on controlling the red star pattern. It's just that the connection with the red star became stronger and required more powerful mental power to suppress it, which took him a lot of time.

It took nearly two hours before the faint red light finally disappeared in a corner of the dark construction waste dump. When the skin returned to its normal color, Cassia opened her eyes and stood up. The heat rising around her and being knocked down by the rain disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it turned into frosty pink, and at the same time, the rain and raindrops in the open space were also frozen. .

By the time they were melted by the subsequent rain, Cassia, who had packed up her things and dealt with all the traces, had already returned to the villa base and was looking at the latest information provided by Hilary.

"The world is officially divided into two parts. One is composed of an army of ordinary people and low-level surgeons, and the other is completely controlled by high-level surgeons. There are no rules and boundaries between the two, and they can touch each other at any time. . But without a necessary reason, it’s best not to pierce that layer of non-existent things.” In the same room filled with books, Hilary leaned against the window and kept looking at the sky while speaking, “Lisu Man went to the mountains over there. She said she wanted to take a closer look and feel the intensity of this time. If you are interested, you can follow. This period will be good news for surgeons with red star pattern abilities. I think."

"Huh?" Hilary looked back at Cassia when she spoke, but another wave of fluctuations from the sky above her head caused her to almost lean half of her body out of the window.

The heavy rain that has lasted for nearly two days, and is still getting heavier as I speak, is like a shower at this moment, and it has stopped after a few breaths. The cold wind turned into a gentle breeze, and the disappearance of the sound of rain made the surroundings surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of rain dripping from the eaves.

Cassia was about to ask what happened, but the brighter light outside the window swallowed all her words. The world under the dim rain clouds was disappearing, and light seemed to be returning to this world. He couldn't help but get up and walk to the window. However, the distance of a few meters was only halfway through. In the world that was about to be bright again, a dusty light red sprinkled over, saturating everything in sight in the blink of an eye.

Cassia went to the window. Without leaning out, she could see that behind the rain clouds blown away by the strong wind at high altitude, the sky was covered with a light red film, which seemed to be easily torn apart by a little force. .

"Sure enough, it is exactly as described in the historical data. The sky is covered with a light red film, but it is never a surprising picture. It can only make people feel an indescribable discomfort." Hillary Li smiled, "Fortunately, I didn't expect much from this, because it's not a stunning sight, and I don't feel happy emotionally. If I keep thinking like this, I might be a little less disappointed."

Leaning out and retracting into the room, Hilary looked at Cassia who was observing carefully, sighed and said, "If you don't know anything, you will probably be excited about such a scene, right?"

Cassia retracted her gaze and nodded in agreement, "Changes are always exciting, whether good or bad. Especially the Red Star period that can be recorded as a historical node. But for myself, the distance between me and the Red Star continues to shorten, and the influence of the Red Star Continuing to enhance it will require more energy to suppress the red star lines."

"Huh..." Cassia exhaled, "Actually, I still can't be as calm as you. From an hour or two ago, maybe nothing happened around or in other areas. Everyone She still looks like she is doing whatever she is supposed to do, the only difference is that the sky has changed a different color...

However, what I want to say is that an hour or two ago, a certain button was pressed by all of us by default. "

Along the coast of the Endless Sea, hundreds of small airships parked irregularly on the shore. Some people were blowing the salty cold wind outside, but more people chose to stay in the airships and wait for night to fall.

"My beloved deputy captain will leave tomorrow. All things have been arranged before leaving. Actually, there is no need to worry, as it will affect the results of the assessment." In an airship, Waters said exaggeratedly , and brought him a cup of black tea that he was confident was brewed well, "At least in the next four or five months, this will have little to do with us."

"Working hard to become land messengers and going back to practice using new powers are what we should pay most attention to next." Hessler on the side filled himself and Waters with wine, "Don't waste the captain's special efforts for us. The prepared things are completely a backdoor method. If you can’t pass through this... besides, it’s just that the sky has changed color, so don’t overthink it.”

Beside the round window, Delya finally looked away. At this moment, the blown clouds were healing, gradually covering the sky, as if nothing had happened.

"I just feel that due to the changes in history and times, I have become so powerless. If I were still the same person in Brino, the gray area, I should have achieved my original goals and ideals by now."

On the rooftop of a fifteen-story building, No. 0 was sitting on the edge with his feet dangling in the air. He looked at the dimly lit buildings in front of him and smiled, feeling in a very good mood.

At this moment, someone came from behind, wearing a gray and black windbreaker, tightly tied around the body that perfectly fit the female figure.

"Lord Zero, you have exceeded the upper limit of the time you can go out. The base hopes that you will return as soon as possible." The voice of the visitor was pleasant, but it had the feeling of a synthetic voice, with the cold feeling of a machine, "We have prepared a report on this phenomenon. All the data is in the base, and there are better observation platforms and instruments."

"Thank you for your preparation." Zero responded with a grateful smile, "In half an hour, I will appear in the conference room, sit there and read the information, and then go to the platform you mentioned and use the observation equipment."

Seeing the visitor hesitate, No. 0 answered, "I just want to sit here for a while and feel the beginning of this important era by myself. Don't worry. Besides, you don't have the power to take me back by force." exist."

"Go back first, I am a person who keeps the word."

"Thank you Master Zero, I will make people prepare accordingly."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zero said, and after taking a dozen breaths, he muttered to himself, "How many people are looking at this sky with me?"
