It's likely that Professor von Schneider sent the information about those two people to Lucy Pallas for this very reason.
It simply meant that the final decision was handed over to Cao Han.
"Okay, tomorrow, senior, try to get a car. We'll head straight to Irkutsk, intercept those two, and get all the information out of them."
"Ok."
Lucy Pallas nodded in agreement.
She certainly wouldn't be up to the task of fighting the dragons head-on, but completing this trivial matter would be no problem at all.
The next day.
When Cao Han emerged from the camp, looking refreshed, a brand-new snowmobile was quietly parked in the open space.
"This is...?"
"I used a tiny bit of my connections to get people to contact all the car dealers in the city. This is already the best performing and highest quality car available."
Lucy Pallas may have misunderstood what Cao Han was trying to say, thinking that Cao Han was somewhat dissatisfied with the car.
"No, never mind, this one will do."
Cao Han originally wanted to explain that his intention was for Lucy Pallas to just rent any car, but he didn't expect her to have such incredible financial power that she bought a brand new car without saying a word.
Didn't they see the car dealership owner standing obsequiously at the car door?
Upon seeing Cao Han and Lucy Pallas appear, he bowed and handed Cao Han the keys and other items, and also took the time to give them a detailed introduction to the powerful performance and various convenient functions of the off-road vehicle.
In summary, it can be summed up in four words: Get to know each other, and be resilient!
This is also a common problem for most vehicles in the Siberian region. In the snow and ice, most vehicles will have their engines completely frozen after driving only a few kilometers, and then they will break down on the spot.
"Without further ado, let's set off."
boom--
With a tap of the accelerator, the wild engine roared like a raging beast, a thunderclap from a clear sky.
They drove off without a word, leaving the car dealer looking on in horror.
A journey of 300 kilometers takes about two hours.
The advantage of the sparsely populated Siberian region was fully demonstrated at this time; no matter how fast Cao Han drove on the highway, he didn't have to worry about traffic jams.
They had already driven twenty or thirty kilometers, and hadn't encountered a single vehicle or even a living creature.
"Can the satellite still track the whereabouts of those two people?"
"Yes, ever since the academy discovered their whereabouts, they have been constantly monitored and tracked by satellites. According to information sent back by the executive department, the two have been in an abandoned church for more than ten hours and have not left yet."
An abandoned church?
Could it be a meeting place?
Or is there a pre-prepared escape route hidden inside the church?
A series of thoughts and guesses floated into Cao Han's mind, but unfortunately he was not one for intellect, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
The main reason is lack of intelligence.
squeak--
A loud screech of tires screeching against the ground filled the air as a sports car drifted across the massive snowmobile, coming to a stop right in front of a long-abandoned church in a corner of Irkutsk.
Cao Han and Lucy Pallas got out of the car at the same time and walked towards the tightly closed iron gate, without any concern that there might be an ambush inside.
I reached out to push the door open but felt a slight resistance.
"We need to shout..."
From Lucy Pallas's position, she could see through a crack in the door to observe what was inside. There was probably a thick wooden stick wedged behind the door, preventing it from being pushed open.
In ancient times, this simple and unadorned way of locking doors was precisely what those self-proclaimed clever thieves hated most.
The weight of that doorpost looked so heavy that it would take at least two or three adult men to lift it and place it into the door bolt.
Lucy Pallas's intention in speaking was to remind Cao Han, but she hadn't even finished speaking when...
Cao Han's seemingly ordinary arm suddenly swelled to more than twice its size with a sudden burst of force. Since he couldn't open the door, he simply pushed it open—in the real sense of the word!
boom!
The next second, the enormous door collapsed towards the interior of the church like a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade being overturned, creating a deafening sound and kicking up an astonishing cloud of dust.
My view was blocked for a moment.
As the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, the two were able to see the interior of the church more clearly.
On both sides are wooden chairs for believers to sit on when they come to pray, but because of their age, they look decayed and seem as if they would crumble to the ground with the slightest touch.
At the very end of the red carpet in the middle aisle, a beam of sunlight shone directly through a hole in the church roof onto the young man sitting on the steps.
With short, choppy black hair, yellow skin typical of East Asians, and a somewhat androgynous face, she exudes a mysterious aura of gender ambiguity, which is quite in line with the atmosphere of a certain small Southeast Asian country where ladyboys are rampant.
However, the young man had his eyes downcast and was just puffing on his cigarette. Cigarette butts that had already been extinguished were scattered all around him, like a defeated dog that had lost its owner and was homeless.
With such an exaggerated commotion, how could the young man not notice? He simply remained indifferent. He slightly raised his head and glanced in the direction of the door, his voice dry and hoarse: "Commissioner Cao Han, you've finally arrived."
"Ah."
Cao Han nodded in response, then winked at Lucy Pallas beside him, signaling her to check the situation behind the young man.
To be more specific, it means examining a person lying in a pool of blood who looks like a corpse and is unresponsive.
With Cao Han by her side, Lucy felt incredibly safe. She wasn't worried about being in danger at all, or rather, she believed that even if she were in danger, her junior would be able to react in time to protect her.
It took less than a minute from start to finish.
Lucy Pallas, who had returned to her original position, said in a low voice, "Captain, I just checked. She is a woman who is about 26 years old. She has lost vital signs."
After comparing information from the executive department, it was confirmed that her identity was indeed Camilla, an executive department specialist.
I've roughly examined the signs of battle at the scene... If I had to describe it, it was a one-sided fight.
Very good and professional!
Cao Han silently gave his junior a thumbs up in his heart. Being able to identify so much useful information in such a short time was truly a great help.
"You heard what I just said, so you must be Lin Yang. Did you kill him?"
Lin Yang remained silent for a long time before finally giving up and nodding in agreement.
"According to the report from the Executive Department, the two of you did not show an overly close relationship during your time at school, but this time you showed too many unusual displays of intimacy during the mission."
Logically speaking, your relationship should have gone beyond ordinary friendship, but since you've already escaped here, why did you still kill her?
Cao Han looked down directly into Lin Yang's eyes, the immense pressure causing Lin Yang to look away the moment they met.
"I didn't mean to kill her..."
Faced with Cao Han's pointed words, Lin Yang, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, roared with a pained and ferocious expression: "I didn't want to kill her! How could I possibly want to kill her!"
Lucy Pallas looked at Lin Yang with pity.
While reviewing the mission intelligence, she had already noticed some clues that the relationship between Lin Yang and Camilla was definitely not simple.
Whether they've reached the level of lovers is still uncertain, but it's certain that there are feelings between them!
As one of the few A-level elites in the academy, the Word Spirit Blaze is a lower-level Word Spirit of the high-risk Word Spirit Lord Flame. It possesses considerable area-of-effect damage. During his time at the academy, he achieved excellent grades and repeatedly demonstrated outstanding performance in war practice classes, having completed three A-level missions.
To be honest, if Lin Yang continues like this, he could become an elite specialist in less than one or two years. If he could even successfully complete one or two high-risk S-level missions, he might even become an ace specialist.
However, this outstanding young man stubbornly chose to team up with Camilla to carry out missions together.
It's not that Camilla isn't good enough, but rather that she's not good enough to match Lin Yang.
Everyone has their own pursuits in life, whether it's power or wealth, but Lin Yang's pursuit in life is...
love!
"You are still alive, but she is dead!"
As Cao Han closed the distance between them, he was able to clearly observe Camilla's condition as she lay in a pool of blood.
All I can say is that young people are great; they fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow, and you can tell they passed away peacefully.
The fatal wound must have come from the stab to the heart; it was deadly and vicious, clearly aimed directly at a vital organ.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. Cao Han's words may be unpleasant to hear, but they represent the harsh reality that young people have to face.
Lin Yang took several deep breaths to temporarily bury the frustration and pain that filled his heart and mind. "After our last call with the Executive Department, we decided to immediately flee Yekaterinburg and come here."
This abandoned church was discovered by us during a mission and we used it as a secret hideout.
After we arrived here, we discussed it and decided that I would go out to gather information, while Camilla would stay here for the time being.
Cao Han and Lucy Pallas listened quietly to the young man's story.
"What I never expected was that after I returned from gathering information and replenishing supplies, I found that Camilla had completely changed, or rather, her attitude towards me had completely changed!"
It has become...something that feels completely foreign to me.
Lin Yang's voice was filled with deep despair, and then the next second he gritted his teeth and said, "Out of trust in Camilla, I didn't suspect anything until she came up behind me during the break and tried to assassinate me when I wasn't paying attention!"
"Assassinate you?"
Cao Han frowned, somewhat confused by the sudden turn of events.
Before this, the two were a pair of fugitive lovers running away together. How could they have changed so much in such a short time after they separated?
It seems that something must have happened while Lin Yang was out gathering information.
Before he could continue guessing, Lin Yang's next words revealed the answer directly: "Although Camilla's assassination attempt surprised me, I swear to God, my first reaction was simply to snatch the dagger from her hand."
I reached out and grabbed her hand that was holding the dagger, but I never expected... I never expected...
As he spoke, Lin Yang's body began to tremble involuntarily, his eyes filled with pain. At this moment, the pain that had been building up for so long burst forth like a dam bursting, and in an instant, tears and snot were almost indistinguishable on his face.
"She turned the dagger around and plunged it straight into her own heart!"

A staged assassination?
Then he turned around and committed suicide?
