Zero Zone, a random Kamen Rider at 4am

"Mom, don't rush me. I'm at the police station."

"Of course I didn't forget. I knew there was a feast."

"I'm really not working overtime, so stop complaining."

"Mo Xuan bought a birthday cake. We're eating it together and will go back after we're done."

"Hello, Mom, hello?"

Zhu Yuan responded to Aunt Zhu's lecture with a sad face, but soon her expression turned confused because her mother suddenly hung up the phone, as decisively as if the Internet was disconnected.

"what happened?"

Mo Xuan asked curiously. There were no subtitles for the conversation between Aunt Zhu and Zhu Yuan, so of course he couldn't understand it.

"Something must be wrong with my mom. She started urging me to go home, but when I told her you were around, she told me not to go home and hung up."

Zhu Yuan put down her phone and said with a smile that her mother was obviously still young and didn't look like she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but she couldn't explain this strange behavior.

“Pfft, haha.”

Mo Xuan really couldn't help laughing out loud. Zhu Yuan saw that he was still laughing at him and rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't laugh, what happened?"

"Maybe they thought you were full after eating cake."

Mo Xuan could probably guess what Aunt Zhu meant. She probably wanted him to take Zhu Yuan for a walk on the street. He didn't have time during the day because he was busy with work, and there would be a more celebratory atmosphere at night.

"No way, they're still waiting. How can I not go home?"

Zhu Yuan shook her head. Of course, she would not ignore her parents because of this. Then she looked at Mo Xuan and extended her invitation.

"Mo Xuan, come home with me. I won't be able to enjoy a big meal if I go back like this. It won't be a waste if you come and eat with me."

"okay."

Mo Xuan naturally accepted Zhu Yuan's invitation this time. After all, first time is new, second time is familiar. Now it's the third time, and he has gotten used to it.

"This cake is delicious, please have some more."

Zhu Yuan doesn’t usually eat cake, but today’s cake tasted pretty good. After finishing what was on the plate, he stood up and prepared to take another piece.

"let me help you……"

Mo Xuan also stood up at this time. Unfortunately, the two were very close to each other, and they inevitably bumped into each other when they stood up together. Zhu Yuan's chest was a bit bigger, and Mo Xuan was bounced away after the collision.

Zhu Yuan noticed that Mo Xuan was in danger of falling, so she quickly moved closer and hugged his waist, put the plate down, and then hugged Mo Xuan's body with both hands.

Mo Xuan was leaning tightly in Zhu Yuan's arms at this time. Such a hug made his hands subconsciously placed on Zhu Yuan's lower back. The female police officer's body trembled slightly, but she did not refuse his hug. In the quiet office, the two of them hugged each other.

Mo Xuan's heartbeat was almost three times as fast as before. He looked at Zhu Yuan's pretty face so close to him, and suddenly he mustered up his courage. He hugged her tighter with his arms, feeling the softness on his chest even more. In the face of Zhu Yuan's puzzled gaze, he said what he had kept in his heart for a long time.

"Zhu Yuan, I, I actually like you..."

Mo Xuan spoke haltingly. This was his first confession in life, so he seemed to lack confidence and couldn't organize his words properly. Just when he was about to finish his words successfully, the office door was suddenly opened.

"I was wondering who left the lights on late at night. Apparently, I came at the wrong time."

Qingyi stood in front of the door and looked at the scene inside. For a moment, he didn't know how to complain. These two juniors actually did such shameless things behind his back.

"No, you came at the right time. Let's eat together, Senior Qingyi."

Zhu Yuan quickly separated from Mo Xuan and used the cake to divert Qingyi's attention. No one noticed that her ear, which was covered by the headset, had turned red. She felt both regretful and fortunate. If Mo Xuan had really said it just now, she would not have been mentally prepared and might have been at a loss. However, when she found out that this opportunity was ruined by Qingyi, she felt a sense of loss that was difficult to express. This was what it meant to be worried about gains and losses.

Mo Xuan was also a little amused, but he did not resent Qingyi. Instead, when the atmosphere returned to normal, he shared Zhu Yuan's birthday cake with Qingyi. He felt that this kind of thing could not be rushed. If it didn't work once, he could try again. Anyway, there was no other man around Zhu Yuan, so he still had a great advantage.

Amidst the laughter and joy in the office, Zhu Yuan spent an important birthday in her life. With Qingyi and Mo Xuan by her side, she felt happy and warm. This was different from the warmth of family, but the warmth between companions.

After finishing the cake, Mo Xuan packed up and left the Public Security Bureau with Zhu Yuan, still in her private car. The two were silent in the car, as this was also an opportunity where no one would disturb them. However, it was Zhu Yuan who spoke first.

"Mo Xuan, I think I'll celebrate my birthday with you next year, and of course, Senior Qingyi too."

Zhu Yuan stared at the road ahead, with no expression visible on her face. It seemed that she was talking about something very ordinary, but in order to hide her shyness, she still pulled Qingyi along.

"Yes, of course. I'd be happy to spend every birthday with you."

Mo Xuan immediately gave his answer. This kind of thing was what he wanted most, so how could he refuse Zhu Yuan's invitation?

"um. Thank you."

Zhu Yuan's face bloomed with a gentle smile. Although Mo Xuan did not succeed in confessing his feelings this time, he received a lot of feedback. From another perspective, the foundation of their relationship was more solid. Next time might be the time when both parties are ready.

-

PS, today is Zhu Yuan’s wife’s birthday, how could I forget it? It’s just that the timing is a bit awkward, and there’s no Zhu Yuan in the plot, so I can only open a special episode, but fortunately I caught up today, it’s September 9st (*≧▽≦)

PS, refresh the image.

PS, there are four candles and tomatoes on the official greeting card. I don’t need to explain what this means. Yes, I am here to join this family≧▽≦

Chapter 75: The Riddler rolls out of the hole.

"it's me."

Mo Xuan stood up from the ground and said, he didn't want to remain silent and pretend to be mysterious. Anyway, his voice had been processed, and it was impossible to find him through it.

"I'm the head of Anti-Aircraft Section 6. You can call me Hoshimi-Masa."

Xing Jianya gave a brief self-introduction. Mo Xuan had never heard of her before, but he had heard of the Anti-Aircraft Section 6. The name sounded like an air combat department. In fact, if it was not abbreviated, it was the Anti-Aircraft Special Operations Department Section 6, which had nothing to do with air combat.

Mo Xuan glanced at the sword hanging at Xing Jianya's waist, a classic Japanese samurai sword. Judging from her dress, which was very island-style, Mo Xuan knew that her race should be the Fox Xiren.

[Mo Xuan, that's the youngest Void Hunter in New Elido. Be careful with him.]

Zhe's voice came from the headset. Mo Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would meet Xu Shou under such circumstances. He looked at Xing Jianya again and found that she indeed had the aura of a master. If it were before, he would definitely not panic, but now he was exhausted. If the other party attacked, Mo Xuan felt that he might not be able to escape.

"Ms. Hoshimi Miyabi, the corpse has been dealt with. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Mo Xuan nodded to Xing Jianya, and then prepared to leave this dangerous place, but the situation he least wanted to see still happened.

"You are not allowed to leave."

Xing Jianya stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Xuan, staring at him with her bright eyes as if she was looking at prey.

"Ok?"

Mo Xuan took a step back to create some distance. If she suddenly drew her sword in this situation, he might not be able to react in time. Fortunately, the bird-like group could fly, otherwise the situation would be dangerous.

"Nineveh is my prey. You stole my prey, so you should be held responsible."

Xing Jianya looked at Mo Xuan carefully and said, in fact, she was looking at the linked core coins on Mo Xuan's chest. She liked the pattern very much, so she looked at it for a while longer. Of course, she was also curious about Mo Xuan himself. Defeating Nineveh with the power of one person was something she had not done.

Mo Xuan was completely upset. How could he be responsible? Would he revive Nineveh and let Xing Jianya kill him again? This was unreasonable. If he wasn't a little weak now, Mo Xuan would definitely turn around and fly away, never to see him again.

Just when Mo Xuan suspected that Xing Jianya was not right in the head, three figures rushed over, a black-haired young man, a pink-haired young woman, and a blue-haired Japanese-style ghost Xiren whose gender could not be seen.

"The Section Chief wants to thank you for your contribution to Hollow Zero. If possible, let's attend the celebration party after get off work."

The black-haired young man spoke and greeted Mo Xuan with a kind expression. The other two looked at him with curiosity, wishing they could strip him naked. After all, the bird-themed set was really beautiful, and Mo Xuan himself wanted to take a few more glances at it.

"Yuecheng Liu, Cangjiao, Qian Yu Yuzhen."

Hoshimiya casually pointed at the three people around her one by one. Yuecheng Liu was the pink-haired, well-built older sister with glasses. Cangjiao was the blue-haired ghost Xiren, who was a little short. Asaba Yuzhen was the young man with two swords on his back. They were all easy to recognize and seemed to have the same surname as those from the same area.

"Forget about the celebration banquet. I can't eat in this state."

Mo Xuan nodded his head and said, although the atmosphere was a bit tense, he still made a joke. After all, talking with a stern face would not make the situation any better.

"Hahaha, knight, you really love to joke. This outfit of yours, let's call it equipment, can definitely be removed. Recently, a lot of stories about your deeds have been reported to our class in the Air Department."

Asaba Yuma couldn't help laughing, and explained by the way how they knew Mo Xuan. As a professional department against the void, Mo Xuan could be said to have stolen their limelight many times.

"The mysterious knight who appeared a few times before, is he your partner, or another form of you? We are very curious about your identity."

The eldest sister Yue Chengliu also spoke up and said that this woman had a good figure, especially her protruding chest. However, Mo Xuan often saw Zhu Yuan wearing a vest and had long lost his desire for this kind of elder sister.

"It's not a good habit to pry into other people's secrets. If you don't let me go, we'll just become enemies."

Mo Xuan shook his head and grabbed OOO's exclusive weapon, the Holy Emblem Sword, with his right hand. Blindly giving in would only make the other party feel that he was easy to bully. Only appropriate toughness would make negotiation possible. Now only he knew that he was weak, and the person in front of him didn't know it.

"I won't let you go."

Xing Jianya frowned slightly, staring at Mo Xuan with clear eyes and said, when he heard this, he knew that this matter would not end well. Just as he was about to take a fighting stance, the translator beside him spoke automatically.

"What the section chief meant is that she looks forward to meeting you next time, and hopefully we can work together."

Asaba Yuzhen said to Mo Xuan, and just as he was about to take action, he almost sprained his waist. He tilted his head and looked at Hoshimiya in front of him with a puzzled look.

"Is this a mistranslation or what you meant?"

Mo Xuan suddenly realized that he and Xing Jianya seemed to have never had a good communication. This girl seemed to have some strange communication barrier and even used a translator to speak.

"Of course that's what I meant. You see, the section chief has no objection, right?"

Asaba Yuma said with a smile.

Mo Xuan was speechless for a moment, put away his sword and prepared to leave, but at this time the fox ears on Xing Jianya's head moved, and her right hand immediately fell to her left waist, tightly gripping the hilt of her sword.

"Anti-Aircraft Section 6, prepare to meet the enemy."

Xing Jianya's words did not need any translation. It seemed that she was not silent at all times. Mo Xuan also discovered that a group of skeletons were approaching quickly, and he didn't know when they came.

"It seems the noise of your battle with Nineveh has attracted the distant Ikai. I'll leave this to Anti-Aircraft Section 6."

Yue Chengliu spoke to Mo Xuan, indicating that if he wanted to leave, he could leave now. Mo Xuan did not move, but watched how they would deal with this wave of Yi Hai attacks.

A yellow light lit up in the distance, and the next moment Thanatos's bow blade attacked. Xing Jianya quickly drew his sword, and the two weapons collided with each other. The sparks that flew out illuminated Xing Jianya's face.

Thanatos found that his sneak attack failed, so he used flash to distance himself and prepared to use bow and arrow for long-range shooting. At this time, Xing Jianya had already sheathed her sword, bent her legs and waist, and made a forward rushing posture. At the same time, she lightly tapped the fingerprint reader on the handle of the sword with her finger. A powerful blue force surrounded her, dyeing her long, straight black hair into a halo of blue.

Chapter 76: You stole everything in my house.

The next moment, Xing Jianya disappeared from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was already behind Thanatos. Thanatos, who was about to use the bow and arrow, seemed to be paused for a moment. Countless vertical and horizontal slashes appeared on his body, and his body quickly turned into pieces of black crystals scattered on the ground.

The infamous Thanatos, the elite among the elites, died under this sword of Xing Jianya without even a splash. He deserves the name of Void Hunter.

“It’s really amazing.”

Mo Xuan said sincerely that he used the power of the knight system to kill Yi Hai. Xing Jianya relied on a weapon at most, and the rest was the result of her own training. She had achieved such a level at such a young age. Compared with talent, she was definitely the strongest among humans and Greeks.

The infamous Thanatos is dead, and the remaining group of corpses are just for fun to increase the difficulty. Seeing this, Mo Xuan spread his red wings behind him, turned into a red afterimage and disappeared on the spot. Xing Jianya looked up at the direction where Mo Xuan disappeared, and no one knew what she was thinking in her clear eyes.

When Mo Xuan came out of the cave, he did not attract anyone's attention. There were many temporary workers coming in and out every day, and there were many passages. No one cared who came out from inside. Only Ling was waiting for him where she could see him.

"Mo Xuan, here."

Ling waved to Mo Xuan and said, he walked in front of Ling, and was about to say something, but he felt his legs go weak. Seeing that Mo Xuan was in trouble, Lingmei immediately opened her arms and caught him in her soft embrace, at least holding him up.

"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt? Don't scare me."

Ling had no way to check on Mo Xuan's condition at the moment, so she could only pat his back and ask. Although he was like a god of war when fighting, his weakness was obvious now, and Ling's tone was full of worry.

"I'm so tired. I just need to take a rest."

Mo Xuan didn't want to be held. It was because he had already used up his last bit of strength before he could get out. The large skeleton was more difficult to deal with than he thought. Fortunately, the knights who arrived today were powerful and they won by combining their strength.

"I'll take you to the tent."

Ling changed her posture, put Mo Xuan's arm on her shoulder, and walked towards the rest tent with her arm around his waist. Mo Xuan was very relieved. Although this child was usually not serious, he was still very reliable at critical moments and was not as heartless as he looked.

After entering the tent, Ling had just prepared a cushion on the ground when Mo Xuan fell asleep. Seeing him fall asleep instantly, Ling felt funny and a little distressed. She didn't call him over to do something like this. It could only be said that he was unlucky to encounter such a big BOSS in the Novice Village.

Mo Xuan didn't know how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes, he found himself looking up at the top of the tent. One-third of his vision was blocked by a semicircular object. He wanted to reach out and push the thing away, but after he regained consciousness, he felt something was wrong. There was something soft under his head, and the touch seemed like the softness of a human body.

Mo Xuan looked at his current situation again. There was indeed a soft body on the right side of his head. Its lower abdomen was contracting and relaxing with the owner's breathing. There was a palm pressing on his chest, as if measuring his heartbeat. It should be Ling's palm.

"Mo Xuan, are you awake?"

Ling felt the change in Mo Xuan, looked down at him, met his eyes, smiled naturally and said.

"Well, ah, you can just put me on the ground. There's no need for this."

Mo Xuan got up from Ling's thighs and felt as if he had accomplished a great achievement. He never thought in his life that there would be a woman who would give him a knee pillow, and this was without his request.

"Are you embarrassed? Well, I'm glad you got a beautiful girl's lap pillow. You must be very touched. Not everyone will give you a lap pillow."
