Zero Zone, a random Kamen Rider at 4am

"I don't know. You've been here longer than me, so you should be able to guess it."

Mo Xuan said.

"I never thought of it, but the next one should be you, local Mo Xuan."

Zhu Yuan shook her head and said, but she and Qingyi looked at Mo Xuan together. The two of them had been eliminated, and he was now the hope of the entire village. They were all counting on him to bring someone over.

"Go ask Master Qiaopu."

Mo Xuan did not refuse and brought Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi to the door of the ramen shop. It was business hours, but lunch time had just passed and Chef Qiao Pu was not receiving any customers.

"Mo Xuan is here, what are we having for dinner today?"

Master Qiao Pu smiled when he saw Mo Xuan. He still liked this young man who often came to take care of the business. The two of them were very familiar with each other. Sometimes he knew what Mo Xuan wanted to eat without taking any orders.

"I'm not here for dinner. I wanted to ask if you're free to attend the Public Security Bureau's lecture."

Mo Xuan also said with a smile that when talking to people he is familiar with, there are no need to be so roundabout, so just state the purpose directly.

"You mean the event with flyers everywhere? I'm not going."

Master Qiao Pu waved his hands in disdain and said, not only his arms, but also the mechanical arm behind him was shaking. This was a double rejection, which showed how much disgust he had.

"Can you tell me why? I see that everyone in Liufen Street is very opposed to this event, but in fact, this event is supposed to be a lecture to help citizens guard against some villains."

Mo Xuan asked the question that was in his mind. If he was simply afraid of trouble, he should have just refused normally instead of showing such an obvious expression of disgust.

"Well, you're a regular customer here, and you're from Liufen Street, not a stranger. I'll talk to you."

Master Qiao Pu glanced at Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi beside Mo Xuan. He didn't want to say these words to the sheriff, but he also knew that Mo Xuan was not the kind of person who would go along with bad people, so he said it anyway.

"It's not that we have a problem with the event, but we have a problem with the person who organized it. Is Bullinger a good person?"

“I don’t really understand this.”

Mo Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuan beside him and found that her expression was a little stiff, as if she was hurt by something. But Mo Xuan really didn't know what the hidden story was, so he could only tell the truth.

"During the Eridu era, the Public Security Bureau had a hero who conquered the Hollow. He was a hero of the time, just as famous as the mysterious knight that's been uploaded to the internet today."

"You're talking about Commander Bullinger, right? He sounds very powerful."

Mo Xuan didn't expect that Bringer was a hero as famous as himself in the past. He was a little interested. No wonder Zhu Yuan seemed to admire Bringer before. Now he seemed to understand.

"When the old capital fell, Bullinger happened to be serving as deputy director of the precinct where I live."

"Maybe it's because he was promoted from the front lines. Even though he's already deputy director, he's always active on the front lines, very close to the residents, and everyone likes him very much."

"During a rescue operation, he disappeared in the cave, but just when everyone thought he had died, he miraculously survived."

"And so, the title of Hero Who Conquered the Hollow spread. Soon after, Bullinger was transferred to the Janus District Security Bureau, and he has been promoted steadily over the past few years."

Master Qiaopu told the story of Bullinger in one breath. Although he only mentioned it briefly, it also proved that Bullinger was brave enough to fight, had good character, and was deeply loved.

"Like a hero's reward."

Mo Xuan nodded and said, this is indeed a good story, but it is definitely not over yet, otherwise the people on Liufen Street would not have such an attitude.

"That's how it should have been. Unfortunately, everyone now says that this hero who conquered the Hollow has had his courage drained by the Hollow."

"Although Bullinger still prides himself on being diligent, we old residents can see that he's just putting on an act in front of the camera."

"Furthermore, in recent years, he's clearly been getting closer and closer to T0PS. Many of the initiatives he's implemented within the Public Security Bureau, under the guise of benefiting residents, ultimately benefit those big corporations!"

"In this municipal election, he's vying for the position of Chief Justice of the Janus District. He's launching a safety awareness campaign at this time, and even printed his image on the questionnaire. I don't need to explain his purpose, right?"

“It turned out to be for the election.”

Mo Xuan understood now. Isn't this a classic story? The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon himself. This may be a bit biased. Bringer was not on the same page with Yi Hai, but after stepping on Yi Hai to get to the top, he used his power to sacrifice ordinary citizens for his own interests. In fact, his approach was no different from Yi Hai's, and even more hateful. Yi Hai was just trying to kill people, but he was trying to suck their blood out of them. No wonder Master Qiao Pu was so indignant.

"Well, that's right. The Sheriff's Department holding a safety awareness event is a good thing, but once I see what Bullinger is planning behind it, I really can't participate in it calmly."

Master Qiao Pu waved his hand and said that this was all he had to say, and Mo Xuan should figure out the rest on his own.

Mo Xuan nodded, then pulled the somewhat dazed Zhu Yuan away and came to a vending machine. He asked Zhu Yuan to sit down and bought a bottle of juice from the vending machine and handed it to her, hoping to give her some sugar.

"So, in the eyes of other citizens, the chief has become this kind of person."

Zhu Yuan said with a look of loss that she usually worked at the Public Security Bureau headquarters and had no contact with citizens like Master Qiao Pu. Today was a big blow to her.

"I don't know the full story, so it's hard for me to comment, but I'm sure you have reasons to feel bad."

Mo Xuan sat beside Zhu Yuan and said, at this time he had many guesses. What did Bringer's bad reputation have to do with Zhu Yuan? This was a question worth thinking about. She had never mentioned her relationship with Bringer.

"I never told you that when I was a child living in the old capital, I was affected by the void disaster and was sucked into the accompanying void."

"then you……"

This was the first time Mo Xuan heard of this incident. The drink bottle in his hand was squeezed out of shape. He subconsciously used force because he was worried that something might happen to the young Zhu Yuan.

"It was Commander Bullinger who saved me. He found me in the cave and took off his anti-erosion gear and gave it to me, then braved the erosion himself. If it weren't for him, I would have died by then. He's such a good man, I don't believe he would have become like the rumors say."

Zhu Yuan's words made Mo Xuan completely understand why she respected Bringer so much. He was her savior. It was not just as simple as saving her. He was also willing to sacrifice his own health to preserve a child's future. Otherwise, even if he was saved, he might suffer from ether erosion during the time he left the void.

"Mo Xuan, although Chief Bullinger has made many questionable decisions since taking office, it's not as rumored. The Public Security Bureau's funding is limited, and many of its equipment requires technical support from T0PS. Someone must do this, otherwise the Public Security Bureau will struggle to operate."

Zhu Yuan grabbed Mo Xuan's hand and explained that even she understood that the Public Security Bureau had to do more than just serve the citizens. It also had to build good relationships with other companies. This was inevitable. Every time Bullinger attended a banquet, he would toast and exchange glasses, but in return he would get equipment updates. If T0PS were not given some benefits, why would they help the Public Security Bureau? This was the way of the world. Even if Zhu Yuan was in Bullinger's position, she could not guarantee that she could do better.

"I know, I understand everything. Before the truth comes out, you can trust that Bullinger is a good person. Don't doubt yourself. I support you."

Mo Xuan held Zhu Yuan's hand and said that he didn't want to doubt a good person without evidence, let alone the person who saved his future wife. After hearing about the past events, Mo Xuan was very grateful to Bringer, whom he had only met once. If the time came when he had to face him, he would have to have evidence.

"Mo Xuan..."

Zhu Yuan looked at her boyfriend with emotion. She was really happy that there was someone who could comfort her when she was confused and lost. Her eyes and voice were unspeakably soft.

"Shu Yuan..."

Mo Xuan was deeply attracted by Zhu Yuan's current expression. He wanted to lean over and kiss her, anywhere would be fine. In short, he was very moved.

"Ahem, stop showing off your affection in front of everyone. Do I need to remind you that you're still on duty?"

Qingyi's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the two people who were about to kiss each other. Zhu Yuan almost jumped up in fright, and then she realized that she was on the street, not Mo Xuan's house.

"Senior Qingyi, you misunderstood. I just saw that Mo Xuan's face was dirty, so I wiped it for him. That's all."

Zhu Yuan's eyes were almost turning into mosquito coils. She snatched the drink bottle from Mo Xuan's hand, and then rubbed his cheek hard and said. Mo Xuan felt that his skin was about to be scratched, but seeing Zhu Yuan's flustered reaction, he wanted to laugh in his heart. His girlfriend was really cute.

Chapter 158 A wonderful relationship.

"I know two people who will definitely be attending the lecture and they should be fine with Bollinger."

Mo Xuan rubbed his face and said to Zhu Yuan, she had almost calmed down by now, and now even if she was alone, at least she could complete the task.

Mo Xuan brought Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi to the door of the video store. Zhu Yuan was somewhat familiar with this place. She would always pass by this video store when she went to Mo Xuan's house. However, when she saw the video, her occupational disease started to act up.

"Could there be illegal videotapes hidden inside? Could contraband be hidden in boxes and traded?"

Zhu Yuan touched his chin and guessed that because of the special nature of the videotape, it was extremely easy to hide some criminal records and archive them. Zhu Yuan didn't know how many similar cases he had solved, so he said that.

Listening to Zhu Yuan's various speculations, Mo Xuan was sweating profusely. There were no illegal videotapes, but there were two illegal rope makers.

Mo Xuan pushed open the door of the video store, and the doorbell hanging on the door rang, alerting the people inside that a customer had arrived. Ling poked his head out of the screening room and was stunned when he saw three sheriffs coming in.

"My brother and I are good citizens."

Ling said this very consciously. This was a typical case of trying to cover up one's own faults. Mo Xuan was worried about her IQ. She was not like this when she was with him. How could her intelligence suddenly drop?

"Don't be afraid, citizen. We are not here for a surprise inspection. We would like to invite you to a lecture."

Zhu Yuan also understood the inconvenience her sudden appearance had caused to the citizens, so she raised her hand to show that she had no ill intentions and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Is it just a lecture? My brother and I are free that day, so we will go."

Ling knew about the lecture. After all, she had just come out of the Guangying branch this morning. After hearing Zhu Yuan's invitation, she immediately agreed. Many factors made her very easy to talk to. She felt a little guilty because she liked Zhu Yuan's boyfriend, she felt a little guilty because she was a rope maker by profession, and she also felt a little guilty because Zhu Yuan was her savior.

"Thank you so much."

Zhu Yuan smiled with satisfaction when she heard that someone finally agreed to attend the lecture. No matter how small the task was, her attitude was always correct. This was why Bullinger insisted on having her do it. If other sheriffs came, they would definitely just drop the questionnaire and leave. Whether the citizens attended the lecture or not actually had little to do with the sheriff.

"Alas, if they weren't Mo Xuan's friends, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to invite either of them."

Qingyi sighed slowly and said this, which made Zhu Yuan's expression turn into a wry smile. He had confidently said that he would invite everyone, but it turned out like this.

"Have you been frustrated in inviting citizens to attend the lecture here?"

Ling asked curiously after hearing this.

"Yes, the citizens here are somewhat resistant to lectures."

Zhu Yuan nodded, but did not explain the inside story to Ling. She had finally met someone who didn't know about Bringer's deeds, so how could she possibly exaggerate her explanation?

"Is there anything we can do to help? Just ask. You're my savior, and it's only right that we do a little for you."

Ling held Zhu Yuan's hand and said, her eyes full of sincerity. She had been thinking about how to repay the life-saving grace, but she felt that she had few opportunities to contact Zhu Yuan. She didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon, so of course she would seize it.

"It's great that you're willing to help. There are citizens here whose addresses are unknown, and we need a local to help find them."

Zhu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately held Ling's hand and laughed. She felt that someone was bringing her a pillow just when she was sleepy, which could be said to be the perfect timing.

“Isn’t he a local?”

Ling looked at Mo Xuan and said.

"I'm very busy at work and my social circle is small."

Mo Xuan turned his head away awkwardly. Zhu Yuan had asked him before if he knew anything, but he was even more confused than Zhu Yuan, a foreigner. He had no idea who those people in the information were and couldn't even remember their names.

"Then my brother and I will help you deliver the questionnaire. But in return, please stop calling me "you" and just call me Ling. My brother's name is Zhe."

Ling took the questionnaire from Zhu Yuan and said, this is an intention form for citizens to fill out. If you are willing to participate, you can write down your name and address. If you don’t want to, of course you can leave it blank.

"Okay, Ling, thank you."

Zhu Yuan smiled and nodded. Ling was also happy to work for her savior. Only Mo Xuan felt something was wrong. 02's father's arrangement was to allow them to develop a friendship. If they became close friends, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for him?

"Mo Xuan, what are you thinking about? You have such a strange expression."

When Zhu Yuan left the video store, she felt that the sky had cleared up a lot, but Mo Xuan's expression seemed to become a little gloomy, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I was thinking about a movie I saw at a video store. In the movie, there were two women who had a very good relationship. One of them was the male protagonist's girlfriend, and the other was the girlfriend's best friend, but she also liked the male protagonist. Do you think the male protagonist is a scumbag?"

Mo Xuan thought about it and found that his position seemed to be getting weirder and weirder, and he was moving in a bad direction, but he wanted to be a good person.

"As long as you haven't cheated on your best friend, then it doesn't count. Everyone has the right to like someone else. As long as you don't break up your original partner, there's no moral issue."

Zhu Yuan replied without thinking too much, saying that she had seen this kind of movie before, and that the main theme was a love triangle, and her mother loved watching this kind of emotional entanglement.

"If the male protagonist and his girlfriend's best friend are also close friends, then the line between close friends becomes a little blurry..."

"What kind of stomach-aching plot is this? Can't you just watch a lighthearted and cheerful movie?"

Zhu Yuan said to Mo Xuan with a helpless smile that she had only been in love for a short time, so how could she see so many twists and turns? This movie was not suitable for a brain like hers to think about.

"That's true. I better go home and watch Star Knight."

Mo Xuan nodded and decided not to think about those trivial things. 02's father had his own arrangements, and he just gave up. No wonder President Fei Dian liked artificial intelligence so much. He liked it now too. This was not about technology changing life, but about changing destiny.

Mo Xuan followed Zhu Yuan and distributed flyers again. He also met a few people who didn't know much about Bullinger. They all expressed their willingness to attend the lecture, and the number of people gradually increased.

"According to my calculations, after walking through the other blocks, the number of invited citizens should reach around 150."

Qingyi knocked her head and said, with her computing ability, the actual number would only be less, not more. Zhu Yuan felt desperate after hearing this.

Chapter 159: A biased father.

"But the venue is for 300 people, this is only half of it."

Zhu Yuan's expression was pleading, as if she was asking Qingyi to use her powerful computing power to think of a solution. If she went back to report to Bringer, he would definitely be angry, but he would not blame Zhu Yuan. At most, he would just drink alone, but Zhu Yuan did not want to see that.

"It's Chief Bullinger's fault for choosing the wrong location. I thought the people of Sixth Street would be able to help, but it turns out most of them are people who have a problem with him."

Qingyi spread her hands to indicate that she was powerless. The population of Liufen Street was indeed enough to fill the entire venue, but Bullinger had miscalculated. His old friends did not treat him as a human being at all.

Just as Zhu Yuan was sighing, Ling and Zhe hurried over. After meeting, they called the police on the spot.

"Zhu Yuan, there's an accident over there, can you go take a look?"
