Rhino(0)<Speaker>芮诺</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>How, how come nobody’s moving?</color>
QBZ191(0)<Speaker>九号</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>We can’t be sure that we can overcome her with a pre-emptive strike.</color>
Rhino(0)<Speaker>芮诺</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>But we can’t just let ourselves get passively beaten up!</color>
SP9(3)<Speaker>Mona</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>No, the enemy isn’t fully confident either, which is why she’s ceased her attack.</color>
Rhino(0)<Speaker>芮诺</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>In that case…</color>
QBZ191(0)<Speaker>九号</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>At times like this, you mustn’t panic. Hold your breath and focus yourself.</color>+<color=#00ccff>Look in the direction of your prey. Don’t lose yourself in her eyes, but trace every frame of every movement she makes in your heart. </color>

However, she does not follow up on it. Instead, she uses the momentum of her charge to directly jump off the hill she’s on.]+[And so, her puure white form vanishes into the thick, concealing mists.]
Rhino(0)<Speaker>芮诺</Speaker>||<SE1>RunStep</SE1>:Hold it!!!!
QBZ191(0)<Speaker>九号</Speaker>||:Don’t chase her. There’s no way we can catch up with her.

QBZ191(0)<Speaker>九号</Speaker>||:Yeah, to think we thought we could suppress her by force…
SP9(0)<Speaker>Mona</Speaker>||:She was probably just buying time for Morridow to retreat.

XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:Persicaria wanted me to give you two little things.+One of them is an offline mapping device, which I’m using right now. The other is something codenamed “Strongarm”. She said you’d know how to use it.
