Absolute Zone Zero: I am a Succubus in Six Points Street

"I understand. Please leave it to me."

After Zhe agreed, Lekaan nodded without surprise.

"Well, then I'm relieved. Also, please tell her that she has her own choices in life. All we do is support her."

Ailian has indeed been coming to the store less frequently recently, and she seems to be in a low mood. Could it be because the end of the semester is approaching?

Zhe thought so in his mind, and soon after, he met up with Ailian in the designated cave.

While Fairy was confirming the location of the Bomb that needed to be retrieved, Zhe asked Ailian beside him.

"By the way, Ailian, have you decided on the topic for your final assignment?"

"not yet."

"So after today's commission is over, are you going to continue the discussion with them?"

"they……"

After Ailian mentioned her good friends, her expression obviously became a little depressed.

"Final assignments don't necessarily have to be group assignments; you can do them independently without any discussion. And even if you fail the course, it won't really matter."

"Ailian, is that really all? I still hope you don't carry everything on your own. If you're unhappy, I'll be sad too..."

Zhe looked at Ailian very seriously. The latter pouted her lips slightly and looked a little aggrieved. Just like when she came to the video store these days, she threw herself into Zhe's arms.

Then Ellen also told the reason why she had been in a low mood these days. For some reason, Ruby and the others seemed to be deliberately avoiding her recently.

She originally thought that she was ignored because she had a boyfriend and had less time to play with them.

"So you've reduced the time you spend visiting me?"

"I tried my best to make up for it in the shortest possible time... Um, I'm sorry..."

Ellen pressed her face against Zhe's chest and apologized in a muffled voice, and the latter reached out and touched her head.

"Next time you have such troubles, please consider discussing it with me. This is my obligation as a boyfriend, isn't it?"

"Um……"

Ellen's emotions seemed to intensify during this time, but this heartwarming scene didn't last long as Fairy's voice suddenly interrupted them.

“I’m sorry, Master, I know I shouldn’t interrupt you, but I have locked down the area where Bombu is, and there are unidentified people nearby.

It's impossible to predict the other party's intentions, so to avoid unexpected trouble, it's recommended to get rid of them as soon as possible."

"Zhe, let's go."

Ailian quickly controlled her emotions, but her face was still slightly red. Zhe couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he saw this, after all, it was quite rare to see Ailian acting like a spoiled child like this.

"Alert: There are multiple life forms moving nearby. They are running around like headless flies and may attract the dead. We recommend going to check."

Along with Fairy's prompt sound, there was a loud scream.

"Warning, a high-risk skeleton has breached the gate and is rapidly approaching. We need to retrieve Bomb and three unknown individuals."

“How scary—”

"It's Ruby!"

After getting closer, Ailian immediately recognized the other person's identity, but after being surprised, she was worried.

"Why are they in the cave? What idiots! Zhe, please find the shortest way. No matter if there are obstacles, let's get there quickly!"

"But your identity will be exposed."

"These things...are not as important as their safety."

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them cleared the obstacles on the road as quickly as possible, and Ailian arrived before Yi Hai and the other two.

"I'll listen to your explanation later. That Bomb is in your care. Hide well and don't get close. If you're scared, close your eyes."

Chapter 347 Ruby! It’s empty!

While Ailian was dealing with the high-risk Ikai, Zhe went around to deal with the other Ikai that were attracted there.

Because he felt that this might be an opportunity to restore the cold relationship between Ellen and her friends. Anyway, there would be no danger with Zhe around.

Ailian easily dealt with a mere high-risk corpse, and the sounds of fighting around her also disappeared, which made her stop in her tracks when she originally wanted to help.

"Ailian is so handsome..."

"Just now I thought I was going to be eaten by Yi Hai..."

"Uh...Have you figured out how to explain this to Ellen?"

Lin looked at the infatuated Ruby and the frightened Mona beside her. It was because of her reminder that the two of them reacted. At this moment, Ellen approached them.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

Mona: "Lost..."

Ruby: "Eat!"

Rin: "A hollow research tour."

Could your reasons be any worse? Of the three responses, the only one that was somewhat convincing was Rin's.

"Again, why did you come to the Hollow?"

Ellen's tone became more serious. Ruby became a little timid after hearing that, but she still spoke stubbornly.

"That...visit..."

"Oh, really? I'll be leaving now. You guys can take your time to explore~"

"Wow, don't go, Yi Hai is so scary! Rin! You say!"

Ruby started from zero frame and looked at Rin beside her crying. The latter knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he spoke.

"Because every time you said you went to work, you always had wounds on your body and looked very tired, we have been worried for a long time.

Especially since you said you worked in your boyfriend's store, it made us even more curious. We always felt that there was something hidden, or that you were being abused.

So we've been following you for a while, hoping to find a chance to take some photos of you being hurt so we can hand them over to the police to help you out."

After hearing this, Ailian immediately put her hand on her forehead. What the hell was going on? How could she even think of something as outrageous as domestic violence?

Moreover, without knowing Zhe's strength, judging from his appearance alone, he seems to be the one who will be hurt.

"So you guys just went into the Hollow and are running around?"

"We encountered a Bomb. The Bomb translation plug-in was broken. It gestured for a long time, as if it wanted to leave the hole and find its previous owner to give him the video..."

"Right, right! We figured that if you can get into the cave, you can definitely get out. As long as we follow you, there's no problem!

This Bomb can be our bodyguard along the way, and we can just follow him out in the end!"

Ruby continued what Rin said, but this statement seemed unreliable to Elen.

"You expect Bombu to beat you up? If I hadn't come in time, you would have given Yihai a treat."

"Phew—that's true! And we didn't expect Airen to be so powerful!"

"I……"

After Ruby mentioned this, Ellen was obviously feeling guilty, and upon seeing this, the former hurriedly spoke again.

"——I see. Ellen must be doing... uh... um... a training Hollow Investigator, right?"

"Exactly, why are you still hiding it from us? It's not a big deal."

"Uh...actually I'm not..."

Ellen was about to deny it, but Mona, realizing something, interrupted her again.

"Ah... that, that... I'm also hiding something from you guys!! The movie we watched together last time, the one you all said you liked, I actually gave it one star when I got home."

"I lied to you when I said I chose this school because I liked the school spirit here...it's just because it's the farthest from my home.

Because I never felt like I existed before, and at the graduation ceremony, I did a backflip while imitating a Hercules shouting... I hope I never run into my former classmates again in this life."

Lin's words made Ruby, who had not yet confessed, burst out laughing. After all, this behavior was too different from her usual personality.

"Well...how about submitting a funny video of doing a backflip while imitating a strongman as your final assignment?"

"Ruby."

Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he suddenly came to the latter's side.

"Ok?"

"Yeah, it's empty."

"Wa ...

Ruby yelled, moving away from Rin, who spoke calmly.

"It's just revenge. Besides, the four people and four secrets are evened out—Ellen's part-time job, Mona's film reviews, my graduation ceremony, and Ruby's..."

"Keep it a secret!! Swear to keep it a secret!"

Ruby was the first to express her opinion, and then looked at Ellen who was watching everything silently.

"Ailian, what about you? We must never tell these secrets to anyone else!"

"Me? I'm not that bored to talk about this everywhere."

Besides, now it’s not just the four of us who know about it, Ailian thought as she looked at Ies who was connected to the communication channel. She thought Ling and Zhe must know about it by now.

But they wouldn't say anything, since Ruby and the other two didn't know anyway.

"Then it's settled—"

"This is a secret between the four of us—"

"Don't tell anyone!"

"it is good."

Mona, Rin, Ruby, and Ellen spoke one after another. After finishing their conversation, Zhe asked Ies to take Ellen and the others away first, and he followed behind.

In this situation, it would be very embarrassing if he showed up.

……

"Are we in a bad situation now?"

As soon as they were out of the cave, Ruby suddenly spoke up, leaving Elen a little confused, but she hadn't expected the former's train of thought to be worried that the scheduled final assignment would be ruined.

"Ellen! It's your turn to make suggestions this time!"

"So... about the Hollow? I can be the interviewee and tell about the Hollow's experience, and this Bomb can play the role of the accompanying Bomb."

After thinking about it, Ailian made a suggestion, but Mona was a little worried when she heard it.

"Is this... is this okay? The group work will be shown to the whole school, Ellen, should we just..."

"It's okay. You can remain anonymous and not show your face. Zhe will help with the post-processing. He's very good at it. Also, I can introduce three seniors as follow-up to the interview."

"Your predecessor? Who is it?"

"...Miss Ghost, Mr. Werewolf, and Saw Girl."

After hearing what Ailian said, Mona and the other two immediately showed some fear.

"Hmm... group assignments shouldn't be this long. I'd better not bother your seniors!"

"Speaking of which, do you want to go to the video store again later? The videotape I borrowed last time was really good!"

Seeing that the final assignment had been settled, Ruby immediately stopped worrying, and her initiative also made Rin speak.

"What did you borrow last time? How about we exchange them?"

"I don't want to see that!"

Ailian looked at her friends who were fighting and bickering, deliberately slowed down her pace, and pressed the communication device on her ear.

She whispered to Ling and asked if there was any videotape related to the Hollow Investigator. She thought that since she was misunderstood, she would disguise herself as a trainee investigator from now on.
