Although Zhe's trousers were a bit too loose for Ailen, at least she didn't have to worry about exposing herself.
"Thank you. I'm leaving now."
After putting on her pants, Ailian left in a hurry after saying only one sentence. It was obvious that she was eager to leave here.
Zhe also expressed that he could understand this. After all, few girls could remain calm when faced with such things, although it was a great benefit for him.
Not thinking about it anymore, Zhe turned around and went back to his room after closing the door, freshly showered and ready for bed.
I found that my quilt was bulging, as if there was something inside.
Seeing this, Zhe was a little helpless. He knew who was inside without having to guess. He shook his head and finally went to bed.
Then a familiar person leaned against him and his arm was hugged by the other person.
Who else could this person be besides Ling?
However, just as Zhe patted her back and prepared to go to sleep, Ling suddenly spoke again.
"Brother, what I just said...if, I mean if, is it possible..."
“ZZZ…”
Before Ling could finish her words, Zhe started snoring, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.
"Brother! Seriously, I'm so mad, go to sleep!"
Ling was immediately furious when she saw this, but she couldn't possibly wake up Zhe and continue the topic.
So out of helplessness, he could only lightly punch Zhe, then hug him and continue to sleep with his eyes closed.
As for Zhe here, was he really asleep? Obviously not, he just didn't know how to answer for the time being, so he chose to escape.
For the time being, Zhe didn't dare to do anything excessive.
But he was the only one who didn't dare to do anything too much. As for Ling, that was not certain...
Well, without further ado, at least Zhe spent another day safely.
Until the next morning, Zhe got up and washed as usual. Because it was very early, he was not in a hurry to open the door, so he thought about preparing breakfast first.
However, not long after, a special guest came to the store. Don't get me wrong, the other party was not any female agent, but a shepherd.
"I'm sorry to bother you so early. Did I wake you up?"
Because they couldn't hear any noise and Ling had gotten up, the brother and sister received the shepherd together.
"That's not the case, but is there something important that brings you here so early?"
Zhe looked at the mysterious shepherd in front of him, and his first thought was that he had some special commission. After all, apart from this, the other party had nothing else to ask them.
"Of course. Listen to me, I have an important news to tell Phaethon, which is..."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't speak half-heartedly like a riddle man."
Ling obviously couldn't stand the shepherd's way of speaking, so she urged.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Also, is there any tea?"
"Do you want tap water?"
"Uh, miss, you're going too far. After all, I've always been a good customer. Are you treating me like this?"
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Hey, don't worry, little brother. Ahem, the message is very simple. It means the routine investigation of Hollow Zero has begun again."
"What?!"×2
The brother and sister were instantly excited when they heard the news, and the shepherd felt a little proud when he saw this.
"Yeah, you heard it right. It seems the association is going to fight a protracted war this time. They've divided the routine investigation into several phases, so it's expected to last for quite a while.
After receiving this news, I immediately thought of my most valued client, the famous Phaethon!
And the shepherd’s role didn’t end there. He guessed that the brother and sister would also want to participate in the investigation, so he left a back door in the association’s recruitment team.
The brother and sister only need to complete a test commission in Hole Zero, and then they will be qualified to legally investigate Hole Zero as an external investigation team.
"It is indeed valuable information, worth a cup of hot tea."
"Well, but we have to give us some time. Let my brother and I think about it."
"Of course. This kind of thing can't be decided early in the morning when you've just woken up and are half asleep. It requires careful consideration.
Please consider this carefully. Once you've made your decision, you can return to Scott Outpost anytime to complete the test. I'll take my leave now."
Scott... After the shepherd said this, he left in a hurry. Before leaving, he looked at the teapot not far away with regret.
Well, next time I'll treat him to a cup of tea.
Zhe thought so in his heart, and after discussing the matter of Hollow Zero, the brother and sister unanimously decided to get involved.
After all, this matter concerns their teacher, and their teacher is also one of the culprits causing the Zero Hollow crisis.
Although the brother and sister did not agree with this, they decided to become rope makers and continue to investigate the matter, trying to find out the truth and clear their teacher's name.
Putting all that aside for now, Zhe went to make breakfast first, and after the two of them had eaten together, he decided to go to Scott Outpost afterwards.
After driving here, Zhe followed a soldier all the way to a tent. After entering, a woman immediately greeted him.
"Hello, handsome boy, or should I call you, 'Independent Investigator' brother, let me introduce myself. My name is Lei, a researcher at Wistar College. You can just call me by my name, and others usually call me that too."
"Hello, Miss Lei."
"Well, that's quite polite, but I'm not really particular about that here. As long as you can deliver my lovely observation data to me in the Hollow, I will treat you as my 'dearest partner'."
Zhe naturally had no objection to this. After accepting the other party's commission, he began to collect data.
But of course he couldn't do this kind of thing personally. Although there was ether-resistant physique in the system store, he hadn't redeemed it yet.
Since it is not necessary now, it is better to let Ies play. After all, it is still you who will make the final decision.
The next step is very simple. Hand Ies over to an association investigator and have him take him into the cave.
Although the other person is also a beautiful young lady, she is not one of his own after all, so Zhe can only pretend to be an ordinary Bomb.
Chapter 42: Anti-Aircraft Lesson 6
The investigation went smoothly afterwards. After all, he was just an ordinary little Bomb.
Therefore, all combat matters must be left to the fellow investigator.
"Huh, it should be almost over. Next is, wait..."
Originally, they were supposed to go back after the mission was completed, but the instrument in the investigator's hand suddenly rang.
As a result, her tone suddenly became tense, and as the number of responses increased, she even became frightened.
"One beep indicates an active reaction, two beeps indicate a significant reaction, three beeps indicate a strong reaction, and four beeps..."
Before the investigator could finish her words, the instrument in her hand broke due to overload.
Seeing this, she and Zhe were both stunned, and then immediately looked around, wanting to know why this happened, and soon the answer came to them.
Following a huge roar from Yi Hai, the two of them almost subconsciously found a place to hide, and then Zhe stuck his head out to observe.
I saw a huge skeleton slowly emerging from the gap between two tall buildings not far away.
While Zhe was observing, the other party seemed to sense something and looked towards them. Seeing this, Zhe immediately hid.
Then the two of them hid themselves, and the huge corpse happened to pass over their heads.
Fortunately, he was not discovered. Otherwise, in the current situation, I would probably only be able to collect the body of the investigator and then create a new Ies.
But the story is not over yet. The investigator was just feeling lucky for having avoided the huge corpse.
A lone bee-shaped Ishigaki discovered them, but just as it was about to attack, a Hierophant girl holding a katana and with a pair of furry fox ears suddenly appeared.
There was a small green ghost following the girl, but the focus was not on that. The other party just made a gesture of drawing a sword.
Before the blade was even unsheathed, the skeleton had already turned into ether energy and dissipated.
After dealing with the Yi Hai, the other party didn't say anything, and didn't even give the two a chance to thank them. He quickly chased in the direction of the giant Yi Hai.
Shortly after the girl's figure disappeared into the distance, several people in similar uniforms arrived at the scene from the direction he was coming from.
"Section Chief, try to maintain a safe distance from the target."
One of the pink-haired women was talking into a headset. The section chief she was referring to should be the fox girl they had just chased.
"Oh, there's no way I can catch up to the Section Chief who's running at full speed."
At this time, another boy in the team sighed helplessly, and after noticing the uniforms on the two men, the investigator was also a little surprised.
"This uniform...are you from HAND? An executive officer from the Special Operations Division?!"
After hearing what the investigator said, the pink-haired woman also noticed them, and then spoke in a businesslike tone.
"To Section 6 of the Hollow Operations Department, we are currently carrying out an emergency suppression mission. An extremely dangerous, unknown entity has appeared in the area. Regardless of your mission...
I need you to support this mission as a mobile team—this is my official order as the Deputy Chief of Air Defense Section 6."
Critically endangered individuals?
The first thing that Zhe thought of was the giant skeleton just now. As for the unusual movement just now, it was also caused by the other party.
Such an exaggerated size and momentum is simply unheard of. Why don’t we evacuate everyone as soon as possible?
This is what Zhe thought, but it was obvious that the investigator lady and the people from the Anti-Aircraft Department 6 did not want to leave like this.
"Under special circumstances, the original mission has been terminated. The operational objective has been adjusted to fully support the air defense unit's operations."
Liu, the pink-haired deputy chief of the Sixth Anti-Aircraft Department, directly recruited Zhe after hearing what the investigator said.
“This Bomb from the Society… I need him to continue to serve as a guide in the next operation, is that okay?
Because the target has deviated from the route of action, we need the Bomb carrying the "Carrot" data for navigation. This is an emergency requisition of supplies under special circumstances."
"In other words, if there is damage to the equipment, we will also compensate for it."
After Liu finished speaking, the man named Youzhen also explained. Since things had come to this, the investigator naturally could not refuse anymore.
"Yes, no problem!"
From beginning to end, no one asked Zhe what he thought. After all, to outsiders, he was just an ordinary Bomb.
"It's based on the assumption that it will be damaged. That seems really dangerous."
Zhe was thinking about this in his heart, and as if he could see his worry, the blue-skinned girl with a pair of blue and black horns on her forehead spoke to comfort him optimistically.
"Please, little Bomb, don't worry, I will protect you."
While speaking, she picked up Zhe and rubbed him. The expression on her face was just like a cat lover petting a cat.
"Cangjiao, put him down quickly, you are so rude."
Liu scolded him at this time, and after hearing this, Cangjiao put Zhe down with some disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why, but I just thought he was so cute, so I couldn't help myself..."
"Yeah, yeah, I feel the same way. I don't know who designed it, it's so cute!"
When the investigator heard that Cang Jiao had the same idea as her, she immediately communicated with her enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Liu on the side interrupted again.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but the situation is urgent and we must act immediately."
While Liu said this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhe beside her. In fact, she also had the strange idea of wanting to pick him up and rub against him.
But because her willpower was strong enough and there were other team members around her, she was able to control herself in the end.
Although this plan happened beyond Zhe's expectations, there was nothing he could do under the current circumstances.
After a brief discussion with Ling, he finally decided to cooperate with their actions and lead the team in the right direction.
Then, under Zhe's leadership, everyone moved forward quickly and soon caught up with Xing Jianya in front.
At the same time, he happened to see the other party killing indiscriminately in a group of Ishrines. After clearing the surrounding Ishrines with a few swords, he finally successfully hit the giant Ishrine with a sword-drawing slash.
But even so, the giant Ikebana eventually escaped, as if Hoshimiya's attack did not cause much damage.
