Ling felt a little embarrassed, but she did not deny that she and Mo Xuan were very affectionate, and she also asked about Caesar's health.
"I'm used to it. When I first used a prosthetic limb, it took me half a year to get it working. But it's my own arm after all, so it's comfortable to use."
Caesar raised his left hand and made various gestures, his eyes revealing a glimmer of joy, and he seemed to be slow to realize it.
"It was only after I woke up today that I realized I had experienced something extraordinary."
Caesar came to Ling and whispered. Even though she was very thick-skinned, she realized that this kind of thing must not be spread outside, otherwise, not to mention the Son of Calydon, the Motorcycle Alliance might be targeted.

Chapter 315: The Past of the Old Capital.
"Well, if you want to thank the knight, keep it a secret for him."
Ling nodded and said.
"Of course I will."
Caesar assured her, patting his chest, and even after the child's figure recovered, she was still so plump, which made Ling envious.
"By the way, about Pearlman."
Ling changed the subject and said that the matters in the outer ring were basically over and it was time for her to collect her payment.
"I've been waiting for you to say that. I'll take you to see him."
Caesar said with a smile, and then led the way to a house in the town. After entering, she moved the cabinet at the door, revealing a passage leading to the underground.
Mo Xuan and Ling looked at each other and were not surprised. Perlman's affairs were confidential. Since the Son of Calydon could ensure that the information would not be leaked, he would naturally hide it in a safe place. This must have been Lucy's idea.
After walking down the stairs, there was a simple basement in front of them. There was a hospital bed in the middle, and some life-sustaining equipment around it. The dwarf Greek Perlman was lying on the bed and looked like a ball, with his legs completely invisible.
"Hey, Pearlman, wake up."
Caesar came to the bed and said, Perlman, who was lying down, opened his eyes and opened his mouth to make a sound.
"Aba Aba."
"He is..."
Ling said in a daze, she had a bad feeling about this situation.
"He sustained a head injury when the airship crashed. The doctor in town examined him and said he's temporarily lost his ability to speak and will need some time to recover."
Caesar explained.
"What? This is all in vain."
Ling was devastated. She had been busy for so long waiting for Perlman to reveal the mastermind, but this was the result?
"Not really. The doctor said he's recovering well and he should be able to speak soon."
Caesar gave Ling a definite message, it's not that there is no possibility of recovery, it just takes time.
"Writing?"
Ling said without giving up.
"My arm was broken, and there wasn't a single healthy bone in my body. It was a miracle that I survived."
Caesar spread his hands and said, it was lucky for Perlman to die, otherwise he would not have survived such a big accident.
Mo Xuan had no choice. If it was yesterday, he could ask the other 19 riders to think of a solution, and the pediatrician might be able to make an effort. After all, Perlman looked like a child. Now he was helpless.
"Perlman, you should be aware of your situation. There's no place for you in the city or the Outer Ring. Many people want you dead. Your only way to survive is to cooperate with us and be sent to prison. It's best not to have any bad intentions."
Mo Xuan came to Perlman and said that if he still wanted to escape in this situation, there would be nothing to talk about.
Perlman nodded weakly. He no longer cared about any good ending. At least he would not die. So he could only cooperate with Mo Xuan, but that would have to wait until his injuries recovered.
"Don't worry, Ropemaker. I'll let you know as soon as he recovers. We'll be guarding him here."
Caesar gave Ling a confident smile. They had been friends for a long time, and doing such a small thing for a friend was nothing to worry about.
"Well, Caesar, we're leaving."
Ling spoke as she followed Caesar out of the basement. Caesar seemed to be prepared. Although he seemed a little reluctant, he still accepted her farewell.
"I will make Wildfire Town even better. You must come and visit next time."
Caesar stood in front of Wildfire Town to see the three off. Ling and Zhe would drive home, while Mo Xuan would follow on a motorcycle. It was quite easy coming here, but they would have to go off-road on the way back. However, the number of holes around them had decreased a lot, and some closed roads could also be driven on.
"I'll definitely remember to come and play."
Ling sat in the car and waved to Caesar. After the car started, she watched Wildfire Town getting farther and farther away, feeling a little melancholy.
"Husband, come with us later and we'll take you somewhere."
Ling said to Mo Xuan who had caught up through the car window. Mo Xuan nodded. Although it seemed a little strange that she didn't go home directly, he didn't ask much. He thought he would know when he reached his destination anyway.
"Ling, what's your name, Mo Xuan?"
Zhe was driving and almost stepped on the accelerator when he heard his sister call Mo Xuan. It took him a while to calm down.
"Husband, you have to change your name and call me brother-in-law later."
Ling said without any concern that she and Zhe were family, and there was certainly no need to hide her relationship with Mo Xuan.
"You haven't got the certificate yet."
Zhe felt his mouth was dry, so he could only offer a suggestion from his brother's perspective, hoping that Ling wouldn't change her mind so soon.
"At this point in a relationship, a piece of ID is the least worth mentioning thing."
Ling patted Zhe's shoulder with a smile and said, seeing the smile on her face, Zhe also understood that his sister must marry Mo Xuan, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.
The vehicle drove all the way to a place where it could see Hole Zero before stopping. This was a place with an iron mesh fence, which had been set up quite a distance away from Hole Zero, apparently to prevent anyone from getting closer to the hole and becoming its food.
Mo Xuan's motorcycle also stopped immediately. After he took off his helmet, he felt a little strange because it was his first time in this place and he didn't know what it meant. However, he could find that although this place was desolate, many people had been here.
There were some flowers on the ground, and some blessings or resting notes were hung on the iron net. These notes fluttered in the wind, and looked a little desolate together with the flowers.
This is the outskirts of the old capital. The explosion of Void Zero stopped at this location because the expansion could not be stopped at that time. So the old capital's top leaders detonated 14 towers around the city, causing geological collapse and stopping the void on the inside of the Great Rift. Because there is no matter in the Great Rift that can be absorbed and converted into ether energy, the expansion of Void Zero was forced to stop, forming the bottomless Great Rift in front of us.
"Husband, do you know where this is?"
Ling said to Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan wanted to say that this was the outskirts of the old capital, but this was obviously the wrong answer, so he shook his head.
"Helios Agency, that's our home. It's there now, just across the Great Rift, deep within Hollow Zero, beneath the rubble of the ruins of the old capital."
Ling raised her hand and pointed at the Zero Hole in front of her and said, now Mo Xuan understood that Ling was here to tell him something. The Helios Agency, this name doesn't sound like an ordinary place, but Ling calls it home, so she is most likely a researcher, or she is being studied.
"The teacher is right there. If the Hollow Zero incident hadn't gone haywire, she would be waiting for us at the door with Ies. She always likes to stand to the right of the building's nameplate and look at us with a smile."
Ling's tone was a little sad, and the wind carried away her unfinished words. Zhe picked up Ies and brought him close to the protective net. Bombu reached out his little hand and tied a red scarf to the iron mesh, and the bright cloth fluttered in the wind.
"Teacher, we're here again. It's been a while since we last met, and a lot has happened..."
Ling stroked the red scarf and said that the last time she came here she didn't know Mo Xuan, but now he has become her husband. This is certainly something worth telling the teacher. If the teacher knew that she was getting married, he would definitely hug her happily and pinch her cheeks as a blessing.

Chapter 316: The past of brother and sister.
"Master, Assistant Number Two, please allow me to express my condolences for the passing of this vital individual."
Fairy made her presence known as usual, indicating that she was still in the car. Even artificial intelligence could understand the sadness in the tone of the brother and sister.
"If you like, I can search her name and pinpoint her location on the memorial."
Fairy continued, and Mo Xuan looked at the huge monument standing around, which was engraved with names. However, it was obvious that the size of the monument was not enough to write the names of all the victims, so finding them would depend on luck.
"Carlos Arna."
Zhe spoke up.
"The name was not found in the database of victims of the Old Capital Fall incident. Only one match was found in the information related to the Old Capital Fall incident."
"The horrific tragedy of causing Hollow Zero to go out of control and leading to the fall of the Old City. The culprits, Carlos Arna, Senior Research Director of the Helios Agency, and others will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame."
Fairy's words seemed to be spoken to Mo Xuan. He was the only one here who didn't understand what was going on. After hearing such news, Mo Xuan's heart trembled.
"Hubby, Fairy is right. The person reported in the news is our teacher. I can only tell you that the teacher is definitely not that kind of person."
"She educated us and raised us. The HDD system and Ies are both her achievements. She also saved us on the day the old capital fell..."
Ling's expression became more and more sad, and Mo Xuan's heart tightened when he saw it. He immediately stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.
"I believe you. You and Zhe are not bad people. The teacher who has educated you into such outstanding people must not be a bad person either."
Mo Xuan comforted the depressed Ling. No matter what the truth was, he could only say this, and then explore the truth with his wife. Thanks to his ability, he could help Ling in the future.
"Well, husband, I'm sorry for only confessing our relationship to you now."
Ling still chose to apologize to Mo Xuan first. These things should have been discussed when they just started dating. She knew such a big secret of Mo Xuan, but she had hidden her secret until now, and she felt guilty about it.
"It's okay. As an outsider, I won't be angry as long as it doesn't affect our relationship. I just didn't expect my wife to be so powerful."
Mo Xuan shook his head and said that he didn't mind Ling's secret. Although he realized it a little late, he had wondered where Ling and Zhe's ability to lean over and do Bangbu came from, but he never thought of asking. Now, as time passed, he got the answer.
"Nothing special, just an ordinary rope maker."
Ling said with a smile, she knew Mo Xuan would not be angry, the husband she chose had the best temper and personality.
"I'm afraid this is the only mechanism capable of close contact with Hollow Zero. The systems you mentioned earlier also require the cooperation of you and your sister. No wonder your eyes are so beautiful."
Mo Xuan raised his hand and stroked Ling's cheek and said that he was not interested in places like research institutes. As long as the research did not affect Ling's body, it would be fine.
"You don't think I'm a cyborg or something?"
"Nonsense, I know your body better than you do. Such a sweet and soft wife, how can she be called a cyborg?"
Mo Xuan held Ling and sniffed her ear. Ling's cheeks turned red. She was a little shy with her brother beside her, but she couldn't help but feel love for Mo Xuan in her heart.
"Husband, you are so kind."
Zhe watched the atmosphere in front of him gradually turn pink, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is it possible that he is still single? Ling's mood has improved, and the bad side has turned to him.
"We became ropemakers in order to accumulate enough observation data so that we can one day penetrate the depths of Hollow Zero and enter the former site of the Helios Agency."
"We believe that if there is a clue somewhere, it must be there."
"We must uncover the truth behind the fall of the old capital and clear our teacher's name."
Zhe became his sister's substitute and explained to Mo Xuan the reasons why he and Ling became rope makers. There was nothing wrong with this approach and it was the best choice they could make. Mo Xuan felt a little emotional when he thought about how the brother and sister had relied on themselves to get to where they are today since the fall of the old capital.
"That's a problem. I do have the ability to destroy Hollow Zero, but when it comes to investigating, you still have to do it."
Mo Xuan knew that the Zero Hole was hiding many secrets, and he also thought about destroying it in one fell swoop. Even with a rough calculation, there were three types of drivers that could do this. As long as he randomly chose an auspicious day, he could send Zero on his way. However, Zhe's words dispelled his idea.
"Warning, unknown object detected approaching. Speed 200 kilometers per hour."
Fairy's warning voice suddenly sounded, Mo Xuan and Ling stopped talking and looked behind them together.
"Are there still speed racers coming at this hour?"
Ling asked curiously, and then she looked at a figure running on the road as if she had seen a ghost. Yes, he ran on his own two legs, and in just a moment he came to their side and stopped in front of the monument.
"Are you, Miss Hoshimi-ya?"
Ling's expression was somewhat out of her control. Every time she saw these non-humans performing superhuman acts in front of her, she wondered if she was holding the human group back. Although she had some modifications, she was still no match for these natural ones.
"It's me. You are the leaders of the independent investigation team with excellent guidance, Bomb. I didn't expect to lose to you."
Xing Jianya looked back at the three-person team with a kind expression, but after seeing Mo Xuan, she frowned.
"Ms. Ya actually remembered us. We're so honored. But, what do you mean by losing to us?"
Ling asked doubtfully. She had not had any strange competition with Xing Jianya, and she didn't dare to do so. If Xu Shou targeted her, she would definitely not die, but she might live a life worse than death.
"I'm currently practicing 'Be the First to Arrive at the Great Rift Valley Memorial'. I'd like to spend some time with her alone."
Xing Jianya raised her hand, stroked a name on the monument and said, "A name that can be engraved there must have a great background."
"Miss Ya is here to remember the deceased."
Ling nodded and said.
"Well, my mother."
