It was very cold here. Although the enhanced physique made her abandon the discomfort caused by the temperature drop, she could still feel it.
She did not take off her sealed suit, one of the extremely limited advantages of this outfit is that it can keep warm.
Before leaving her post, she confirmed that she was "sick" in the member duty list.
This part of the plan was easily completed.
Considering the environment on the middle deck she is now in, it is not complicated to sneak into this place. She had waited until all the staff on duty dispersed before allowing a reconnaissance robot to crawl out of her clothes and hack into the main communication system.
In this way, it becomes much easier to grasp the situation at any time.
During the one-hour trip, she has been clues of two main tasks, but it has to be said that the Astral Knight was covered with tight sternness and had no feet.
What surprised her even more was that the White Temple actually appeared on the battlefield, and she had clearly confirmed that they had left the airport.
Unless, they have already hooked up with the Astral Knight in advance.
As things change, her plan must also change, but the mission given to her by Inquisitor Marcus will not change.
So, the waiting began.
Half an hour later, she began her self-talk.
Q: "What is the chance of a mistake in this plan?"
Answer: "High, many factors are unknown, and all results are approximate."
This is a basic technique of the Temple of Calidus, one of the first things that preparatory students master.
Their faction is never good at direct combat power. In addition to being able to disguise, their most important weapon is brain power and analysis.
In contrast, doubt and questioning were deeply rooted in their minds through training as early as childhood. The first step in this training comes from responding to a mentor's questions, and then by imagining another character's perspective/wisdom framework, single-person imitating this technique.
Ultimately, this questioning/radical questioning technique will become part of their basic consciousness.
Over time, this repeated self-questioning permeates their subconscious structure, and most Kalidus rarely consciously reviews this technique, but Arianna begins this behavior during her actions.
At first, she treated this as a way to clarify her mind and let her various functions work normally.
After a while, she began to wonder whether it was a consequence of action without command, a forced instinct.
In the hidden tool compartment, she constantly changed roles between the questioner and the answerer, making voices and Q&A.
In her mind, the questioner was always her mentor, the mentor in her first decade of her assassin career.
In my memory, his annoying wrinkled face was so clear that he gave out challenges while smiling with teeth.
Q: "What are the principles of the current final plan?"
A: "A judge has shown importance to the recent situation of the Astral Knight, and this judge represents that the problem area will change, and opportunities hidden in the change."
Question: "Say your current goal."
A: "The close relationship between the Astral Knight and the disappearing Soul Drinker,"
Question: "Give the name and identity of the target individual."
Answer: "Maximilian, the first company commander of the Soul Drinker Team."
Question: "Overview the current location, personality, ability, network of relationships and resources of the goal."
Answer: "The demand information is unknown."
Suddenly she stopped because in her consciousness, the face in the instructor's memory was grinning, not a pleasant expression.
Q: "Overview of basic intelligence related to the target."
Answer: "The Soul Drinkers experienced a large-scale civil strife twenty years ago. At that time, the only intervener was the Astral Knights' Team. After the war, some rebellious Soul Drinkers joined the Red Pirates, and the remaining Soul Drinkers were missing."
Question: "Presuming the possible meaning of "disappearance" in terms of the problem area."
Answer: "At that time, no one knew the details of the internal strife of the Soul Drinker. Only the top leaders of the Astral Knights knew about it. However, after the internal strife of the Soul Drinker, the number of the Astral Knights showed an abnormal growth curve. Therefore, it can be judged that the Astral Knights illegally merged with the Soul Drinker, and this analysis has an accurate value of 76%.
Requirements: "Extend the analytical subject."
Answer: "Because the failure to read his identity from the enemy, it is impossible to truly confirm that the Soul Drinker has joined the Astral Knight, and the number of Astral Knights is still in a relatively rare stage, so it is difficult to compare with Huron. This extended analysis has an accurate value of 38%.
Soon, the shriveled mouth of her mentor grinned into a knife mark.
Q: “How does this situation provide an ending plan for the specified goal?”
She paused again.
A: “The intervention of the Ministry of the Interior represents a change in the power structure and a comprehensive change in the problem area.”
The instructor in my memory just stared at her, with a sense of victory, and a mocking light in her eyes.
"The answer is clarified."
She spoke, stopped again, feeling her hesitation and couldn't help but tremble.
Suspicion produced truth, and another voice in her mind was echoing.
Unknown failure is destined to fail.
"Answer clarification: Minotao Chapter brings the opportunity to expand the problem space, while at the same time it is possible to achieve the execution of the target by manipulating aberrant information in the enemy."
She stopped, and in the silence of the compartment, she could hear the sound of her heart pumping blood.
Ariana saw the mentor in her memory leaning over and looking down at her, the light fell on the film implanted on the surface of his eyes, turning them into sterling silver.
“Judge.”
He whispered in her voice:
"You are obsessed with uncertainty."
“Response: Existence may—”
This sentence choked in her throat.
"Judgement: You don't see a clear route of results - Judgement: You don't know what you are doing - Judgement: You're about to make a mistake."
She blinked and suddenly realized the coldness in the compartment again.
"You're about to make a mistake."
Ariana said to herself quietly.
After that, she stayed motionless and silent for a long time, staring at Huo Wu while counting down.
Eventually, the possibility that the patrol team is still in the passage is reduced to zero.
The time has come.
She straightened her body, crossed the messy tools, and activated the prepared signal.
It was a broad-spectrum help signal, with dozens of such signals eroding the Soul's communication network, from unsolved mechanical failures.
Only in this way can she attract various gazes elsewhere, she has the opportunity to sneak into the armory and obtain the gene identification code of the entire Astral Knights Chapter from there.
Only in that place can she obtain the most complete gene identification code.
Ariana watched as the signal transmission light flashed, thinking about starting a self-talk again, but ultimately decided not to.
Just as she slowly walked towards the predetermined direction as a correspondent soldier, she suddenly heard the sound of sharp claws scratching the metal, but the sound seemed very light, as light as an illusion.
