Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"...So...was this situation also part of your plan, Miss Nicole?" Bai Yu sat expressionlessly on the bench in the detention room with Ambi. After watching the sheriff lock the door and leave through the iron bars, he calmly questioned Nicole and Billy, who were imprisoned in the cell next door.

"My commission doesn't include singing with you. And Miss Ambi, I'm not selling my body, so could you please stop touching my head?"

Ambi, who was named, looked natural but a little reluctant, and withdrew his hand from Bai Yu's snow-white, straight but soft hair.

"This... this...

Oh my! Plans are always slower than changes! This is definitely an accident, an accident! "Nicole looked up and down, but she didn't dare look at Bai Yu's condemning gaze across at her.

"You can't blame Boss Nicole entirely for this! Who would have thought that the 'rope maker' would be so unruly and that a 'rope maker' like me would dare to call the police! !" Billy gripped the bars of the cell with both hands, his mechanical voice filled with indignation.

Bai Yu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. How on earth did he end up in such a situation?

There's an old saying about life's four irons: "We've carried guns together. We've shared the spoils together. We've been to jail together. We've visited prostitutes together."

And now, due to some unexpected circumstances, Bai Yuwan and the three people from Cunning Rabbit House have barely reached the level of "Three Irons".

The first "Iron", a life-and-death battle in the hollow. Bai Yu can accept this.

Bai Yu strongly rejected the two "iron" ones that came after that.

Although Bai Yu never went to school and was a poor student, he was always a law-abiding citizen.

Now that he has traveled through time and space and has been forced to become an illegal resident, he has first unlocked the behavior of "illegally smuggling controlled items" (ether crystals) that he had never dared to think of before, and now he has been detained by the Public Security Bureau on charges of "extortion".

(Energy) I haven’t made much money, but my “iron rice bowl” is about to be taken away.

Is this the extraordinary nature of a time traveler? Life is truly wonderful! (Great Read)

To explain why they ended up in their current situation, we have to go back to this morning and start with Nicole's commission.

Just like Bai Yu said before, no matter where the "rope maker" hides, as long as he can access the Internet, he will not be able to escape Fu Fu's pursuit.

After all, when people say "follow the network cable to your home", it's just a joke. But Fu Fu can really follow the network cable to people's homes.

Through the transaction records of the rope network, Fu Fu easily located the current location of the "rope maker" who harmed the Cunning Rabbit House according to the account number.

So early in the morning, the three people from Cunning Rabbit House, who had had a good rest, took Bai Yu with them to show them the way and went to kick the door to collect the debt.

Screams rang out in the house. The rope maker, caught, tried to argue, but "Judge" Nicole sentenced him to physical death, a righteous kick in the back of the hand! And the death penalty for the Dingni in his wallet! All his assets were confiscated!

The scene was so cruel that Bai Yu, who claimed to be kind, could not bear to watch it, but he had no choice but to leave for the sake of the commission fee. He could only look at the sky at the door and keep watch.

then……

Then they were surrounded by police cars from the Sheriff's Department.

The reward he had just received became evidence of "stolen money." He was forced to remain silent until his lawyer arrived.

The "rope maker" called the police, which was a really clever move.

If Nicole couldn't produce the IOU, it would be extortion. If they reported the "Rope Maker," they would probably be implicated as well.

The four of them were caught in a dilemma and couldn't commit the crime of assaulting a police officer, so they had no choice but to follow him back to the police station and wait for Nicole to find someone to rescue them.

"It's an unforeseen disaster." Ambi tilted her head, looking at Nicole and Billy sighing across from her, then turned to look at Bai Yu, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, eyes closed. She blurted out these words, not knowing whether she was referring to the specific matter or to the fact that Nicole had only intended to give Bai Yu the address and not go, but had tricked him into going by paying the commission fee on the spot.

"Indeed, it's an unexpected disaster." Bai Yu sighed, wondering what to do next.

"This incident originated with the Cunning Rabbit House and has little to do with Brother Baiyu. Just explain the truth to the sheriffs.

It's just a matter of finding someone to lead the way. Given your age, all you need to do is call your guardian to pick you up, and you'll be out right away." Billy looked at Bai Yu, whose face was exposed due to identity verification, and unconsciously used a child-like tone to comfort him.

However, the mysterious Mr. Crow yesterday had become a teenager today. Such a disparity made people unsure about their attitude towards Bai Yu.

Anyway, Ambi wouldn't touch Mr. Crow's head yesterday.

"...What if there's no guardian?"

"Ah?! How is it possible that you don't have a guardian? At your age, even if you don't have any elders, there should be someone responsible for taking care of you..."

"Billy!!!" Nicole elbowed Billy, knocking back the words he hadn't finished. "...It's okay, Brother Baiyu. Without a guardian, just wait a little longer and go out with us.

Don't be afraid! I've already called someone to come and rescue us. There won't be any bad consequences." Nicole said with a smile on her face, rubbing her sore arm.

“As long as the Public Security Bureau doesn’t delve into our actions, the matter can be easily resolved.

As for the feud between the "rope maker" and the "tunnel thief", as long as no one is killed.

The Public Security Bureau has always turned a blind eye and won't do anything about it." An Bi patted Bai Yu's shoulder and explained to him the "unspoken rules" of the Public Security Bureau.

"Very familiar?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I come here often." Anbi nodded. Both the rescuer and the rescued are familiar with each other.

Anyone who enters and exits the Hollow has been caught by the Public Security Bureau. There are only two types of cases: those with "legitimate reasons," usually missions from the Hollow Investigation Association, and those with "rope net" commissions, which don't have "legitimate reasons."

"Everyone" is familiar with each other.

After hearing this, Bai Yu felt a lot more at ease. What he feared most now was that he would be forcibly sent to a welfare institution because of his underage status.

After all, his residency certificate is still temporary.

Guardian, this is indeed an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Susan has mentioned this to him more than once.

According to the Public Security Bureau's system, Bai Yu should have reported to the welfare agency long ago.

Just from the moment Susan took Baiyu racing in the city when they first met, it was clear that she was not a particularly rule-abiding person.

This is why Bai Yu has been dragging it on until now. Even the follow-up investigation by the Public Security Bureau was simply evaded with the help of Susan.

Bai Yu, who was lost in thought, did not notice that the three people around him who had quieted down were winking at each other and communicating with their eyes where he could not see.

"What a small child! Are the requirements of the Hollow Investigation Association so low now? They want children too!? It's illegal to employ child labor, right?!" Billy gestured with his hands to express his shock.

Nicole quietly kicked Billy and replied with a blink of her big eyes, "Idiot! This kid is obviously an illegal immigrant. He must have been secretly completing the mission in the Rope Net.

Perhaps it was inconvenient for his companions to show up, so they allowed such a small child to enter and exit the cave.

Stop talking nonsense! Got it?!"

Ambi watched the two people performing the mime across from her silently, her expression looking as if she was deep in thought. But her companions who knew Ambi well could tell at a glance that she was just daydreaming.

"Bai Yu. Come out, your guardian is here." A sheriff appeared in front of Bai Yu with Susan and a white-haired girl wearing the same old gray coat as Bai Yu.

“What!?!” Bai Yu looked up in shock. He was very surprised to see Susan, but when he saw the little girl beside her, it wasn’t a surprise anymore, it was shock! ! “Fu Fu!?!”

"Xiaobai! Woo woo~" The girl with short white hair rushed to the railing and stretched out her hand to Bai Yu.

The girl in front of him had a pair of bright and clear pure golden eyes, but deep in her pupils, imperceptible streams of data were constantly running.

She wore a metal hairpin in the shape of a "145" digital art. But other than that, her face and hairstyle were a three-dimensional replica of the short-haired "Funina" in the theater next door!

The familiar appearance and the obvious number on the head naturally allowed Bai Yu to recognize who this person was at a glance.

"Fufu, how could you?!" Although Fufu had not communicated with Baiyu in her mind for a long time, he had long been accustomed to Fufu's silence when he was with outsiders, as long as he did not actively ask in his mind, to prevent him from being distracted.

More importantly, Bai Yu never thought that Fu Fu, who was his system, could actually appear in reality! ?

"I'm very worried about you, but I don't know who to ask to pick you up. So I had to go find Susan myself." Fu Fu held Bai Yu's hand and explained in a low voice.

"You surprise me again and again!" Susan, who was standing beside them and watching the two of them, glanced at the three people from the Cunning Rabbit House who were looking at her, bent down, pinched Bai Yu's face and started rubbing it hard.

"Let's not talk about how you ended up in the police station. You hid the matter of Little Fu Fu so well! You didn't let a single word leak out. You're amazing, my little boy."

"Let go!" Bai Yu struggled under Susan's hands. Her pale skin turned a beautiful pink when rubbed.

"Please let go, don't rub Xiaobai's skin too hard!" Fu Fu had tears in her eyes as she gently grabbed Susan's wrist, and panickedly forgot that Bai Yu was no longer a flesh and blood person.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Susan saw the little girl, whom she didn't know very well, was about to cry, so she quickly let go of her hand. "I didn't know about this, and I won't do this again. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I didn't say anything. Fufu, don't worry. My current situation is completely different from before. Don't you know it clearly?" Bai Yu let Fufu's cold hand cup his flushed cheek. He raised his hand and touched Fufu's fluffy head.

"This is not the place for you to chat.

Come with me and finish the paperwork, then you can go out and chat." The sheriff clapped his hands, drawing their attention to himself. "As for the three people inside, your people have already called and said they'll come and pick you up later. Just stay there!"

"Okay, thank you for your help! We will stay here well. Hey, can you let us say a few words of goodbye to the child alone?" Nicole immediately nodded with a bright smile, and then asked softly with a shy look on her face.

"This is against the rules... But never mind, you'll be out soon anyway. Don't cause any trouble! Otherwise, I'll remember you all!

"Susan, you know the rules. Just be careful." The sheriff looked at his uniformed colleague, Susan, then at the two children holding hands. After giving a few impatient reminders, he turned and left.

"Hello, I'm Nicole. I'm sorry, we got Bai Yu into trouble today." Nicole leaned against the railing and stretched out her hand to Susan. "We're just here to collect the final payment on a commission, and Bai Yu is just helping us lead the way.

I never thought that bastard would not only refuse to pay but also call the police to frame us for extortion! I'm so sorry that he even implicated Brother Bai Yu! "

"Yes! Yes! What happened today has nothing to do with Brother Baiyu! It's all about our Cunning Rabbit House and the client. Brother Baiyu is a good boy, please don't misunderstand or blame him! Of course, we are also a legitimate handyman shop with a business license! We really didn't bring the children to do anything bad!" Billy also hurried over to help Nicole explain.

"Bai Yu helped us a lot yesterday. Today, we asked him to go with us to find the person only if we reward him." Ambi on the other side also stood up and walked to the railing. She spoke to the sheriff lady who seemed to be Bai Yu's guardian in a calm but solemn voice.

Susan put her hands on her hips and looked at the three people who looked nervous, afraid that she would scold Bai Yu for this matter. Her serious and worried heart finally relaxed. She smiled and shook Nicole's outstretched hand.

"There's no need to be so nervous. I know exactly what kind of child Bai Yu is.

Thank you all for your concern. My colleague also said it was just a "misunderstanding." I naturally won't blame Bai Yu for this small "misunderstanding." Susan said, then let go of Nicole's hand and walked over to Bai Yu and the other child, putting her arms around their shoulders.

"What made me angry today was that you didn't take my words to heart at all. You didn't even think to tell me when you encountered difficulties.

If it weren't for Fu Fu coming to me, would you have planned to take it all on your own again? Am I really that untrustworthy?" Susan said, a look of sadness in her eyes.

"No! I just don't want to trouble you. We could have stayed a little longer and then gone out. There's really no need for you to leave your work and come pick me up." Bai Yu raised his hand and grabbed Susan's sleeve, explaining anxiously.

"Will you hide it from me if you get into trouble in the future?" Susan lowered her head and quietly pulled the man closer to her.

"No! If I get into trouble again, I'll let you know immediately!" Bai Yu, worried that Susan was truly upset, naturally didn't notice the adults' subtle actions. Fu Fu, who noticed, didn't know whether to speak up. It was in this moment of hesitation that Bai Yu, this innocent child, fell into the trap of the malicious adults.

"Then it's okay for you to come home with me tonight, right?" Susan hugged the two children tightly, her tone of dominance brooking no rebuttal. "You still owe me a lot of explanation about Fu Fu."

"No, no problem. We apologize for disturbing you today. Susan, let me go first. I'm not a child anymore. Please don't hug me casually!" Bai Yu's face flushed red. He held Susan's shoulders and pushed her out anxiously. He was really not used to such close contact with young people of the opposite sex.

Even though Bai Yu looks like a young boy now, he knows that in essence he is a male who has already reached adulthood.

How can you take advantage of others' ignorance and your love for young people to do such a disgusting thing as casually getting close to the opposite sex?

Being pinched on the cheek or patted on the head can be considered friendly but not intimate. But hugging someone can be seen as taking advantage of them.

"It's a deal, you can't go back on your word." Susan immediately cheered up. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Miss Nicole, Miss Amby, and Mr. Billy.

We'll go now and see you another day."

"It's okay, it's okay! Bye!

"Brother Baiyu, I won't give you a penny less of the promised reward! We'll contact you after we resolve this matter. Hello, little sister Fufu! You must be the "companion" that Brother Baiyu mentioned! We'll chat online later. Bye~" Nicole squatted down, looking at the fragile and beautiful girl with shining eyes, and said in a sweet and enthusiastic voice.

"Well, hello, Miss Nicole. Let's contact each other by phone later." Fu Fu took a step back and hid behind Bai Yu, nodding timidly.

"Boss Nicole..." Billy squatted down and whispered in Nicole's ear, "Control yourself! You're drooling just looking at that little girl!"

"Goodbye, Baiyu. Goodbye, Fufu. Goodbye, Miss Sheriff." Now in the Cunning Rabbit House, there is only Ambi, who always has a cold expression, and he still looks as reliable as usual.

"See you later." Bai Yu nodded. He understood what Nicole and the others meant. The business of the "Rope Net" really couldn't be discussed in front of Susan. After all, Susan couldn't know about his going in and out of the Hollow.

And now just explaining Fu Fu is a headache.

In the two months since he traveled through time, Bai Yu had told more lies than he had told in the previous twenty years combined.
