Zhe's explanation made Liu feel a little relieved. She was more afraid that the former was hesitant to tell her because he didn't believe her.
This explanation made her feel much better, but Nicole felt worse by comparison.
"Wait a minute! What do you mean by joining the Public Security Bureau? Zhe! Are you planning to turn from evil to good... No, that shouldn't be said. Are you planning to betray our friendship?!"
Nicole's tone was very excited. After all, being a cave robber and a rope maker were not glorious professions, but now she heard that her rope maker was going to join the Sheriff's Bureau.
How could Nicole remain calm? She had originally been planning to offer some words of support, but she immediately switched to questioning.
"Calm down, Nicole, I..."
"Don't say so much. Go back and explain it to us properly! Let's go!"
Nicole said as she tried to pull Zhe away, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stopped by Liu.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Nicole. I understand how you feel, but according to Perlman's confession, there was a rope maker deeply involved in the Vision Industrial scandal.
We've discovered that a rope maker was suspected of being involved in an accident at the Baiqi Heavy Industry construction site. Add to that the Public Security Bureau witness incident involving the airship and the outer ring...
If I remember correctly, the Outer Ring just held an important ritual competition related to their traditions not long ago, and Zhe happened to be a rope maker, and he appeared here again, is it a coincidence?"
"It was just a coincidence! Zhe is just an old acquaintance who works with our Cunning Rabbit House! He really has nothing to do with the case!"
Nicole was still trying to make excuses, but Cangjiao beside her waved her hand.
"Don't worry! Usually, we just dig deeper into the background of the person and then let them go! We never bully anyone! Um...! Two-tailed sister... can you please stop staring at me so fiercely?"
Sokka looked at Nekomata with some fear. After all, in her opinion, her brother Zhe must be a good person, so nothing would happen to him.
But her words reminded Zhe that if he really wanted to dig deeper into his identity and background, there was something else besides Phaethon's identity.
I can't dig too deep into the fact that my teacher is a sinner!
Chapter 279: Zhe: Ya, don’t be so tight! (pointing to grab the hand)
However, Hoshimi Yako didn't know Zhe's difficulties. At most, he was just taking care of himself as a friend. What's more, the previous favor had long been wiped out.
"New Ailidu is currently in an extraordinary period. All responsible persons for various functions and responsibilities have gathered together. Any mistake could shake the foundation of the city's operations."
"Of course I know, that's why I asked you to help me get to the bottom of this, right? But why did you involve innocent people?"
Nicole can argue and try to help Zhe get out of the trouble he is in, but our Section Chief Ya doesn't understand the ways of the world.
"You've only shown us a fragment of a conspiracy story, and the full story could be anything, and the truth you claim is just one version of it.
Any potential threat to the city must be eradicated completely; this is HAND's creed."
"Oh, but Zhe really isn't a threat or a villain!"
Nicole was anxious and helpless at the moment, but her words were recognized by Yue Chengliu beside her.
"I agree with what Miss Nicole said, but even though I personally trust Zhe, this is necessary. Please rest assured that I will ensure his safety."
After Liu finished speaking, she looked at Zhe beside her. At this moment, she couldn't help but want to ask him, "Why does this girl named Nicole care about you so much? What is your relationship?"
However, it was working hours after all, so Liu didn't ask in the end, and Xing Jianya spoke again at this time.
"We must eradicate all evil. What constitutes evil...we will make our own judgment. I also believe he is not an evil person."
After all, he treated me to honeydew melon and helped me cover my whereabouts to avoid Liu's pursuit.
"But even so, he may hold important information about the truth. So if you want to gain our support for the Sixth Division, please cooperate, Nicole of the Rabbit House."
The gaze of the hunter seemed to carry a physical threat, and the usually fearless pink-haired girl panicked unusually. After a brief moment of vacillation, she gritted her teeth and stepped in front of Hu Xiren.
To be honest, Zhe was really surprised that Nicole dared to stand up at this time. After all, the relationship he had shown with the three people in Section 6 was obviously not ordinary.
In addition, Liu also made some promises. Normally speaking, it would not be impossible to let the other party take him away at this time.
But Nicole is really loyal. Even though she knew she couldn't stop me, she still wanted to protect me, even though I didn't need protection.
Zhe thought so in his heart, but just as he was about to step forward to explain his identity as Phaethon, a short gunshot was heard not far away.
Like dry sparks ignited on a summer night, gunshots rang out like raindrops, and sharp smoke and dust flew up from the open space where everyone was.
The lightning-fast blade shattered a bullet flying towards Perlman, creating a strange spark of light, as if some liquid was spilled on the blade.
“Get down—!”
The voices rang out at the same time, and Perlman, the least combative among the crowd, naturally curled up his body obediently.
Although there seems to be no difference between lying down and standing up given his body size, at least holding his head with his hands can give him some sense of security.
"Shooting? This pace... suppressing, advancing, shooting... They're surrounding us! From three directions!"
Asaba Yuma quickly analyzed the situation at the scene, and when Hoshimiya heard this, his tone fluctuated slightly.
"Nicholas! You actually prepared a swordsman? Are you really colluding with the evildoers?"
"I was just about to ask you, Martial Fox! Wasn't this the armed ambush you arranged?! Wait, is there someone else eyeing this place...?!"
Nicole reacted quickly and thought of this possibility, and at that moment, the truck's horn sounded.
It was Paipai who rushed over in a freight truck and used the truck body to protect everyone in time.
"Zhe! Let's go now! Paipai! Drive!"
Nicole saw that the timing was very good and gave the order immediately. Ambi pushed Zhe into the car without saying a word, and Paipai also cooperated and opened the car door.
"Wait! Don't run! Ugh—!"
He heard Xing Jianya's shouts from behind, but because of the enemy's attack, she did not catch up immediately. By the time Zhe reacted, Big Steel Teeth had already been fired.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt that he was doomed. As expected, he could imagine Liu's expression at the moment, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Liu.
While explaining and apologizing, he revealed his identity as Phaethon. Seeing this, Ambi couldn't help but pout. There was nothing Zhe could do, so he could only quietly hold one of her hands.
As for Paipai, who was sitting in the driver's seat, he seemed to have not noticed anything, but he still had to do something to be on the safe side, as the other party was still driving.
Later, in the vehicle chase with the enemy, Paipai also demonstrated his superb driving skills.
After a very difficult sharp turn, Paipai shook his index finger with disdain, and then easily took care of the three enemy cars.
Then, they were bombarded into the hole by the unsportsmanlike enemy with a homing missile. In the aftermath of the explosion, Zhe tried his best to protect Ambi and Paipai.
But it was still separated by cracks during the fall.
After Zhe landed safely, he saw a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings and high heels approaching him. This person was none other than Xing Jianya with a cold and arrogant look on her face.
It's so embarrassing to meet you here...
Some time after the truck was attacked and lost control, at an unknown coordinate location in the outer ring hollow area...
"…How was it? Was the repair successful?"
Hoshimiya asked Zhe in front of him, and the latter was also trying hard to contact his teammates, but the intelligent eye implant did not respond.
"It still doesn't work. It looks like there's something wrong with the implant. I'll have to refine the design of this aspect after I get out."
It was just the aftermath of the missile explosion and the vehicle explosion, but he actually lost the communication function. However, fortunately, he has talent.
Just contact Ling outside, tell her your current situation, and then ask her to bring people to find you.
"Yeah……"
Hoshimaya's answer was very calm, as if she didn't care about not being able to contact the outside world. Is this the confidence that comes with strong strength?
Zhe understood this very well, but he couldn't do nothing. Although he had a physique exchanged from the system, staying in the cave was no different from being in the outside world.
But Xing Jianya can’t...
"Um...Ya, how are things going over there? Have you contacted your teammates?"
"No response yet. After you guys drove away, I was the first to chase you out. My companions may still be fighting against the unknown attackers and haven't entered the cave yet."
"Is that so? Then... Ya, although I know the current situation is special, could you not hold on so tightly?"
Chapter 280 The Demon Sword Loses Control
I saw Xingjianya holding Zhe's hand tightly. Although the soft touch did not make him feel uncomfortable, it was somewhat awkward.
"No. I had to jump on 11 motorcycles, 4 jeeps, and 5 soldiers before I could catch up to your vehicle following the explosion.
It was a stroke of luck that we found you in the cave. If you had escaped again, it would have been extremely difficult to catch you. No one from the Hoshimi family would make the same mistake three times."
Hoshimi Masa rejected Zhe's proposal.
"Uh... shouldn't it be the same as not doing it twice? Putting that aside, I promise I won't run away. Besides, we have nowhere to escape now... Without Carrot, wandering around in the cave will only make us more lost."
Although Zhe's talent allows him to contact the outside world, he cannot directly analyze the situation in the void, nor can he take Ya away with him.
And if I choose to leave directly, then I'm afraid that Hoshimiya's favorability towards me will drop to the bottom.
After all, the other party doesn't trust himself as much as Liu and Cangjiao do, so it is normal for the favorability to fluctuate.
After hearing what Zhe said, Xing Jianya nodded in agreement.
"Then sit down for now. The guide to the Lost Hollow said it's wise to wait for rescue in a safe corner. My companions will definitely enter the cave to find me. I just need to hold on until then."
After saying this, Ya stared at the sword in his hand thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking about.
Zhe spoke again, trying to persuade the other party to try a new plan.
"Do you really think this is all right?"
"...You mean trapped in a cave on a crucial election day, knowing there's a dangerous mystery unfolding outside but unable to move, while my teammates bravely fight the enemy while I can only kneel and enjoy the breeze...?"
After saying this, Ya shook her head again, with a hint of helplessness on her little face.
"No, I don't think so, but I have no other choice right now. I can only practice [maintaining a calm expression despite inner anxiety and burning desires]."
Although I wanted to complain about the meaning of this practice, I was inexplicably touched by it.
(Is this the cuteness of that superhuman-machine feeling? Although this isn't Miyabi's most human-machine state yet.)
"I-I see! Since Miyabi wants to take the initiative to break the deadlock...why not listen to my proposal?
How about we work together? I'm not bragging, I'm indeed an experienced rope maker, and we've worked together before..."
"Hmm? You mean..."
"That's right! Actually, I am Phaë... Wait a minute, Ya, calm down and take your hand away from the hilt..."
Before Zhe could finish half of his words, Xing Jianya had already grabbed Wuwei vigilantly, as if he was ready to draw his sword at any time.
"I am very calm. I did this only because the situation was different. Before, I thought you were just an ordinary person with some martial arts skills.
But now, you are already a dangerous person enough to confront me, so naturally I need to take you seriously. Anyway, first tell me the content of your cooperation."
Ya did not let go of Zhe's hand, but held it even tighter. Although the latter felt helpless about this, he still spoke out his plan.
It's called the "Maze Solving Algorithm." To put it simply, although the void has all sorts of extraordinary dangers, in terms of its characteristic of "making people lost," it can actually be considered a maze.
Solving a maze and finding the exit is actually a mathematical discipline that has been systematically studied since ancient civilizations.
(If we, the speaker, really learn math, physics, and chemistry well, we won’t be afraid of traveling around the world, right?)
In short, as long as there is sufficient basic data about the maze, no matter how complicated the maze is, it can be solved!
"Sufficient basic data... or is it just empty observational data?"
Xing Jianya pinched her chin with her hand, raised her head slightly and thought for a while, and her answer was affirmed by Zhe.
"That's right! These observational data are the cornerstone of exploring the void and the raw material for making [radish]."
"So the ropemakers are able to find an exit from the cave using observation data?"
"Well, at least a trained rope maker can do it. It's better to say that this should be the basic skill of a rope maker.
Although many people don’t care much about it now, after all, there are carrots or high-performance computers to calculate it for them.”
In fact, Zhe hasn't used this calculation method for a long time. After all, Fairy is here now, and before that, there was data collected in advance.
But let’s not talk about that now…
"Anyway, there is a way to find a way out! Just come with me to find an observation data point, and I'll take care of the rest!"
After listening to the explanation, the Fox Xiren girl pondered for a moment, then nodded calmly.
"I understand. Let's temporarily cease fire and cooperate. However, I must warn you that although you are quite powerful, you are still no match for me at this point.
If you try to escape, I will definitely catch up and capture you. The prey that the Xingjian family has set their sights on never escapes."
"...Don't worry, I was going to cooperate with you guys anyway, why would I run away?"
