Steel Steam and Flame

　　 The speed of the salute was very fast, and Cassia kept urging from the passenger seat. The mood that had calmed down became a little excited again at this moment.

　　 Outside the window of the car, there are flowing lights, and the rain is crackling on the fast-moving body. Under the temptation of Cassia’s double price, the old driver who was sitting in the limo, who should have been extremely stable and mature, became more energetic. The hands of the steering wheel and the steam valve were very dexterous and skillful. The agile black cat generally surpassed the chaotic ceremonial cars on the road, and drove towards the outlying area of ​​Manoma at a very fast speed.

The 　　li car flicked its tail wildly on the slippery road. Even with a seat belt, Cassia had to grab the handrail on the body to stabilize his body that had begun to move with the body. The car was accompanied by the ups and downs of the horn sound, which was an angry announcement and warning from other limo drivers.

　　 is worthy of the effect of money, and it is an extremely useful thing most of the time. Cassia sighed as he looked at the old driver who was driving nearby.

　　 And the old driver is also humming a familiar little tune at this moment, and ignores the warning and angry horn sounds.

"This is really an exciting job, sir!" The old driver still didn't forget to chat with Cassia. As early as Cassia paid double the price to make him pursue the ultimate speed, he was full of mysterious smiles on his face. I pressed a button that seemed to be added in.

　　 This car has been modified by technicians. The button is used to activate the device that blocks the license plate number and then slightly changes the appearance of the courtesy car. The function is to prevent others from recognizing the courtesy car. It is not difficult to tell from the words of the old driver that he used to want to be a professional mechanic, but later for various reasons, the trajectory of his life changed suddenly.

"At the beginning, I was very interested in machinery. The books I read when I was in school can be calculated by weight. I usually run into the steam factory when I have time. On the one hand, I do part-time jobs there to earn some extra subsidies. On the other hand, I want to take the opportunity. Follow the professional masters there to learn more technical and theoretical knowledge.” The old driver steadily grasped the steering wheel, the acceleration and deceleration were all going on smoothly, and the words in his mouth were also smooth without any intermittent feeling. After graduating from school, things that I had hoped had changed too much. At that time, industrial manufacturing was the poorest period, because the war had been stopped for a long time, and ordinary civilian machinery had long been surplus. So I wanted to change careers. Others, but I didn't expect this turn to be almost a lifetime event."

　　 The old driver made a big turn frantically in front, and his body drifted and glide through a vertical curve. The rainwater on the ground that had not yet entered the underground waterway was shoveled and spattered far away in the form of spray. Fortunately, this place has left the center of Manoma. At this moment, there are not a few moving vehicles on the road, and the whole road is left to the old driver to freely play.

"So the once hobby of machinery has become an interest in leisure in life. I usually do some mechanical transformations when I have nothing to do. This car is the product of this." The old driver continued happily. Said, the windshield wiper in front of him swayed enthusiastically towards Cassia and the old driver in the car like a swaggering arm in cheers. Then in the corner of Cassia's eyes, the old driver pressed another button, and the body vibrated violently. In her sensitive ears, Cassia clearly heard the sound of the opening and closing of the ultra-high pressure steam valve. This is a device accessory that should only be found on the machinery in the steam factory. The function is to reasonably and accurately control the steam output in the super steam system. But it is now installed on this seemingly ordinary car.

The speed of the 　　li car suddenly increased by a step again, and it was not ordinary tires that provided enough friction for the car.

"Brother, if you are interested in the future, you can go to a small workshop in Manoma. I think there will never let you down. You can definitely find something you like. For example, this car has been modified inside. The unrecognizable limo is the product of that small workshop. Compared to amateurs like me, the people there are very professional." The old driver said, the limo was flying on the road, raindrops It was completely tilted in Cassia's eyes. Because of the addition of many accessories, the weight of the car has also increased a lot. With the design of professional tires and body, it gives the limo enough grip. The speed has stopped in areas that the ceremonial car should not be involved in, but the body is still in a stable state.

　　 If you go down at this speed, the planned hour or so when you reach your destination can be compressed by more than half. Looking at the scene flying past the window, Cassia thought with this feeling.

　　 Leaving the central area of ​​Manoma, on the wide road surrounding it, because of the weather, or because of the geographical location, the shadow of a car can be seen almost every minute or so. The street lamps on both sides silently contributed their own light, even if they were connected in rows, they still stood alone like a tree trunk with a layer of frost on the surface in winter. The low houses behind the street lamps feel the same way, and they cannot even be seen under the rain curtain. Except for the lightning that flickers in the sky from time to time, which can temporarily illuminate them, there will always be a dull still life painting at the rest of the time.

　　 is much earlier than the estimated time. Cassia first paid the double price, and then asked the old driver if he could wait for him here for a period of time and was willing to pay a certain waiting fee. If he does not come back after a long time, the driver will have time to go back.

"Of course, there is not much business on rainy days. I am tired today. I will listen to some music in the car and smoke a few cigarettes and wait for you." The old driver smiled indifferently, and tuned the electronic sound." "Zizi" on the radio ~www.readwn.com~ and took out his cigarette. To indicate whether Cassia would come to one, of course was politely rejected.

　　 propped up the umbrella, Cassia stepped on the road covered with a thin layer of rain. Instead of letting the limousine drive in, choose a relatively safe walk. In front is the dark gray shadow of a sparsely lighted building under the rain curtain, without any anger, silent like a corpse.

　　 This was once a prosperous industrial area. Cassia learned about the details of this area in books in the Military School Library, and the map information was also in his mind. It's not that you come here without preparation, but there are only so many things you can prepare.

　　 "I don't know if Kara is still here." Cassia was filled with strange feelings. That is the feeling of expecting, but not wishing that Carla will stay here. After knowing that he and Cara met for the last time, they were separated completely from now on. Maybe the trajectory of life will also change at this point, just like a train on a railroad track, just because of the action of a reversing gate, it is divided into two different routes.

　　 There will be opportunities to meet again in the future, and Cassia thought that she would definitely comfort herself with such words in the future. The empire is said to be very large, but under the power of the airship, the longest distance traversed is less than two or three months. If it is small, even if they are in the same Manoma area, there is no clue. To find the opponent is to do a mathematical probability problem.

With a complicated mood, Cassia walked step by step inside the rain curtain, and the slender water column that formed a line fell down the edge of the umbrella.
