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

"Ha, haha, number 11 means we've been in so many places these past few days that I can't remember some of them."

Trigger covered No. 11's mouth, and his panicked explanation made it even more suspicious, but there was no other way, telling the truth would definitely not work.

After all, No. 11 had never told them about her relationship with Zhe before, and she was obviously still a little embarrassed.

However, although the truth has not been revealed, Trigger's behavior inevitably makes others think too much.

Seeing that the topic was beginning to deviate into something inappropriate, Captain [Willow Fire] finally spoke up to end the discussion.

At the same time, on the other side of the Cunning Rabbit House, Nicole and others were shocked when they saw the three Ambis appear for the first time.

Countless suspicions arose in my heart.

"H-Are they Ambi's twin sisters?!"

"Well, it's like this, I went out recently to look for them, so Nicole, can you take them in as well?

They are also very capable and will definitely become powerful agents of our Cunning Rabbit House!"

Chapter 453 Qing Yi: Zhe is my fishing friend and also my partner

"This one……"

Nicole was a little stunned for a moment. She hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but Ambi spoke again at this time.

"I can reduce my own food expenses, so please take them in as well."

"Alright, alright, don't look at me so pitifully. I didn't say I disagree. It's just two more mouths to feed. We at Cunning Rabbit House are big and can afford it."

Nicole waved her hand. No matter what, she couldn't let her own people starve. So what even if these two people could eat as much as Ambi?

I thought this in my heart, but I never thought it was true. I can actually eat so much...

(Actually, it doesn't matter if the two of them, who are Ishigaki, don't eat. They just need to replenish their etheric energy. Now, since they have never eaten before, they just want to try it.)

……

In the next few days, not only Twiggy and A, but Nekomata and Nicole also often came to visit the video store.

Before, because Ambi lived with Zhe, they didn't want to tell her, so they didn't come for a while.

Now are the perfect few days to make up for it, but the one who came today was Qingyi.

"Zhe~, Ling, how are you guys doing lately?"

"Hello Qingyi, are you taking a day off today? Are you here to look for your brother? He's in the room."

After saying hello, Ling didn't bother with it anymore. After all, she had been to the store many times and was very familiar with it. She just let Qingyi find it herself.

"No, I'm mainly here for a [routine visit] today."

At this moment, Zhe also heard this when he came down from the second floor.

"Oh? Is it time for another [routine visit]? This time it's Qingyi's turn."

This is about the time not long after the Bullinger incident ended. At that time, the brother and sister were called to the Public Security Bureau and were also received by Qingyi...

It was the final decision of the Public Security Bureau that was made at that time, because the brother and sister had never been involved in any harmful hollow activities since they became rope makers.

He has also risked life and death for justice many times, and has reported himself to Zhu Yuan in advance, so he will not be prosecuted.

But as punishment, all the funds in the rope maker's account that had been seized earlier were paid as fines.

Although the amount was not small, it was nothing to Zhe. However, Ling felt heartbroken for a long time after knowing this.

In addition, he serves as an informant for the Zhuyuan team and uses his abilities to provide them with assistance when appropriate.

Apart from the official members of the group and a very small number of senior officials in the bureau, no one knew the identities of the brother and sister.

[Routine visits] were also scheduled at that time. The last time was with Zhu Yuan. After that visit, because it was too late, Zhe let her stay at his home for one night.

Unexpectedly, it was Qingyi who came this time.

Back in time...

"By the way, Qingyi, I haven't seen Zhu Yuan much recently. Is he involved in some case?"

Zhe thought about this. Recently, when he sent messages to the other party, he rarely received a response. Qingyi nodded at this.

"Alas, who made poor Zhu Yuan so busy with that art theft incident recently?"

This is a hot topic recently. A group of thieves stole more than 30 collections from an art museum, including a very valuable lantern.

The author's identity is very special. He was a master of jewelry counterfeiting who worked for a gang several decades ago.

The other party was retaliated by her boss for stealing jewelry from a gang, but the stolen goods she hid have not been recovered yet.

Precisely because of this legendary story, the value of this lantern is now frighteningly high, and Zhu Yuan is also having a headache.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Zhe took the initiative to suggest, and upon hearing that, Qingyi immediately made his signature move.

"Oh? If Zhe is free these days, there's something I can ask you to do for me—would you mind going fishing with me at Torchlight Lighthouse?"

"Are you trying to lure the enemy into taking the bait? No problem, I happen to be free these days."

"Very good, then let's go to the port together."

Qingyi said this and grabbed Zhe's arm, ready to set off immediately. The two arrived at the port of Epis soon after.

"It's so lively around here, is there something going on?"

Zhe looked at the port where there were several times more tourists than usual, and they all had fishing gear in their hands, and he immediately had a guess.

"Yes, there will be a fishing competition here soon, and we are already late."

"So the fishing Qingyi mentioned really means fishing?"

Zhe looked at Qingyi beside him helplessly, then thought about it and felt that it made sense. At this moment, an old man wearing a beret walked over.

"Oh, Qingyi, it really is you! I was wondering if you were so busy with work that I wouldn't be able to see you at this competition."

"Once a promise is made, it must be kept. I happened to be on vacation these days, so I brought my competition partner with me to familiarize myself with the fishing grounds."

Qingyi said as he took Zhe's hand and extended his other hand to the old man.

"Zhe, let me introduce you. This is Qi Yu, the president of the Lido Fishing Association, and an old friend of mine."

"Hahaha, that's right! When Qingyi first changed into this body suit, his arm fell into the river while scuffling with the criminals, and I was the one who fished it out! It was really impressive."

If you're fishing in the middle of the night, it's pretty impressive...

"Well, it was after that incident that Yuou's body cross-section was modified to look less like muscle tissue."

"It seems the president had a lot of psychological trauma back then..."

After hearing Qingyi's words, Zhe couldn't help but sigh.

"That really gave me a fright. By the way, Qingyi, you and this young man are..."

President Qi Yu looked at the two people holding hands. They didn't look like ordinary friends at all.

"This is my fishing partner."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"Of course, he's also my partner."

"Oh ah?!"

President Qi Yu’s eyes suddenly widened.

"President, you seem surprised."

"No... well, it's a little bit. But when did it happen? Why didn't you tell us old friends about it?"

"It was just a while ago, I forgot to tell you."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

President Qi Yu nodded. When the old guys gathered in the park to play chess before, they had joked about this to Qingyi.

But Qingyi refused very straightforwardly at that time, although no one knew why she changed so much in such a short period of time.

But as old friends, I am still happy about it. When I tell this to other people later, they will probably be shocked.

Seeing the president's thoughtful look, Qingyi realized that he would probably be asked about this when he went to the park to play chess later.

This was one of the reasons why she didn't say it before. She sighed in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she had to say it sooner or later. Then she turned the topic back on track.

Chapter 454 Fishing Competition

"President, this tournament is quite large. Based on my understanding of the fishing association, is funding really a problem?"

In response to Qingyi's question, President Qi smiled and began to explain.

"To be honest, the association's coffers have been practically drained. But did you know someone recently photographed a flashing blue light in the nearby sea at night? Based on my years of experience, it's definitely a phosphorescent fish!"

Opportunities to catch phosphorescent fish are rare, and the night fishing trip to the reef island in the finals is the biggest selling point of this [Epis Harbor Extreme Fishing Competition]!"

President Qi was speaking excitedly when a discordant voice was heard.

"Well, whether you can go there depends on whether the lighthouse is in good repair. If the lighthouse is not working, no one will dare to drive the rickety boat you rented to the Raven's Nest at night."

The visitor was also an old man, whom Zhe happened to know. He was the one who guarded the lighthouse.

He and Jiayin had asked the other party for help before they could climb the lighthouse, but the latter did not notice him at first, but looked at President Qi.

"Lao Qi, why haven't the things needed to repair the lighthouse been delivered yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It will definitely be delivered today! The supplies for the competition are all together."

"I can only believe half of what you say. When you came to borrow my space, you didn't say there was a cop coming. Such a small harbor, with a big, stupid guy in a puppet costume standing there, it's already crowded."

"Uh...ah..."

Qingyi felt a little embarrassed when these words were spoken, and seeing this, Zhe put his arm around her shoulders.

"Grandpa Tang, Qingyi is here with me to participate in the fishing competition. He doesn't have any official business at the moment."

"Oh? It's you."

After seeing Zhe, Old Tang's expression eased a little.

"Okay, that's best, but what's wrong with you? Didn't you bring a very beautiful girl last time? Why did you change people this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell silent, and President Qi was the first to react.

"Haha, Old Tang, you must have misunderstood. Qingyi, don't take it to heart. He has always been a rude person, and it's normal for an old man to have blurred vision.

So, he and I will go ask about the delivery first. You guys stay here to familiarize yourself with the environment. We'll talk later!"

Chairman Qi said this without giving Old Tang a chance to speak. He simply pulled him away and gave Zhe a look before leaving.

After the two left, Qingyi turned her head to look at Zhe beside her. The latter looked calm and even hugged her more intimately.

"Isn't this the downside of bringing different girls when you already know someone at the date?"

Qingyi teased with a smile on her face, and Zhecai coughed twice in embarrassment, even though such things happened quite often.

"But I can see that Mr. Tang isn't a bad guy. What he just said should be a reminder to me that you are a playboy, right?"

"Well, yes, I guess President Qi is thinking the same now."

Zhe spoke confidently. The other party left in a hurry, probably because he didn't want to see the embarrassing scene and wanted to leave the matter to Qingyi to solve it himself.

"Then how does Qingyi want to punish me?"

"We'll talk about the punishment later when we get back. Now let's take a look around."

Of course, Qingyi came here not just for fishing. One reason was that he was invited by a friend, and the other was related to the theft case mentioned earlier.

The city's Public Security Bureau has been tightening its inspections recently, so art thieves who want to dispose of their stolen goods will most likely take the water route.

“I heard that the [Tower Keeper] Tang here is well-informed and knows the conditions of the nearby ports and the Hollow very well, but he claims that he never cooperates with the Public Security Bureau.

I had originally thought that asking Guild Master Qi for an introduction would make it easier to get close to him, but it seems that plan has fallen through."

Qingyi shook her head helplessly.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Since we're here, we might as well make the most of it. I've actually taken my annual leave, and Zhe is accompanying me here to experience the joy of fishing. It's a date of a different kind."
