Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Brother, why are you in the garage? Are you holding some strange ceremony?" Ling, who had just finished a commission and was going back to the video store to meet the client, saw Zhe waiting for her at the back door as soon as she got out of the car.

"You're here just in time, sister. Come here quickly." Zhe waved to Ling, holding a garbage bag filled with things in his hand.

"...What are you doing?" Ling pointed at the circle made of several garbage bags next to Zhe in confusion. She felt that her brother was a middle school boy who was setting up a summoning circle.

"Oh, you're asking about these garbage bags.

Here are the discarded Bomb signal transmitters. So many of them gathered together are equivalent to several low-power signal jammers.

With these, our conversation won't be intercepted by someone who has eyes and ears everywhere.

"Yes, I'm talking about that artificial intelligence, Fairy." Zhe said, his expression becoming serious. "We two must have a good talk about her."

"Oh? It's time to go badmouth the newbies. Speaking of which, I'm not sleepy anymore." Ling blinked and replied playfully. She even felt a sense of déjà vu. When she first met the Bai siblings, she and her brother had a similar conversation.

"It's good to be optimistic, but this topic shouldn't be taken lightly." Zhe, who had been worried about the new addition to the family, Fairy, looked disapprovingly at his playful sister and said, "It's been a while since we agreed to let Fairy participate in the Ropemaker event. She independently calculated the route you recently used to escape from the cave."

You'll also notice that it doesn't use local data or seek any support, but the path generation is 270 times faster than our previous method.

Being able to do this wasn't because he didn't need the empty data. It was because the data she needed could be obtained almost instantly.

She previously claimed that she had access to more than 80% of the city's smart devices, and it seems to be true.

Thanks to him, if we could only peek into a corner of the "Void" before, now the entire "Void" is revealed to us, but——"

"There is no free lunch in the world. For us, Fairy's existence is a hidden danger." Ling held his chin and thought seriously.

"Indeed, Fairy's abilities are coveted by the entire upper echelons of New Eridu. Her presence is no longer just a hot potato; it's a volcano waiting to erupt."

Furthermore, when she forced you to become her master, she mentioned that you and her should "wait for the opportunity to complete the agreement." However, she didn't mention the content of the agreement at all, so this matter is definitely not simple.

"Hmm... But if we can make good use of her abilities, perhaps we can get some clues about [that matter] we've been investigating. And maybe even the teacher's long-cherished wish..." Although Ling agreed with her brother's point of view, she also saw Fairy's abilities and it was difficult for her to make up her mind to give up such a good helper.

"Hmm... you do have a point. Anyway, we still need to find out Fairy's origins.

And when Xiaobai and Fufu return, we can quietly ask Fufu to come over and give our equipment a thorough inspection. Maybe she can find a way to put a stop to this Fairy.

Previously, due to the special nature of "H·D·D", we didn't dare to let Fu Fu undergo a thorough examination.

But now our previous investigations have been completely deleted, and "H·D·D" has been "kidnapped" by uninvited guys, so we can no longer hesitate.

After all, compared to this guy who forcibly bound you, a friend you've known for over two years is more trustworthy. "Zhe sighed, his tone a little heavy. "As for Fairy's origins, it seems that for now, we can only investigate slowly. There's no rush.

Fortunately, she is very good at concealing herself, and it seems that the previous hacking incident will not happen again."

"Ah, if only I had asked Fufu to completely upgrade our firewall." Ling regretted thinking about the beginning of her recent troubles. "That rookie hacker would definitely not be able to defeat the computer expert Fufu.

Without that hacker, none of this trouble would have happened.”

"It's no use regretting now. Fortunately, you are safe and sound now. Everything can still be salvaged." Zhe patted his sister's shoulder and comforted her.

"It seems that for now, we can only coexist peacefully with Fairy." Ling nodded. After all, it was useless to regret what had already happened. She could only accept the reality and look forward to it.

"Coexist peacefully...that guy was not polite to me." Zhe thought about the difference in attitude of the artificial intelligence towards his sister and himself in the past few days and frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

“I previously asked [Cunning Rabbit House] to investigate Fairy’s matter, but… there wasn’t much progress.

[Cunning Rabbit House] also took on the [safe-stealing] commission through an anonymous subcontractor and did not contact the relevant persons.

Nicole previously said that she wanted to try the Red Fang Gang route, but we haven't been in touch since.

I always feel that this line is not reliable. Now I can only hope that they don't get into any more trouble.

After all, these guys have the ability to "make small things big and big things explode."

Okay, we have almost finished talking about this topic.

These days, sister, you have been busy maintaining the reputation of the newly established account and taking care of the business in the store, and you haven't had a good rest.

Let's watch TV together today and relax." Zhe put aside the worries that he couldn't get an answer to for the time being, put his arm around his sister Ling's shoulders with some heartache, and spoke to her softly.

"Why do you suddenly want to watch TV?" Ling followed her brother's lead and walked into the store, asking curiously.

"A lot has happened recently, and the city government election is approaching. Let's check the news; maybe there will be some useful new information." Zhe opened the back door and let Ling in first, while explaining.

"That's true." Ling thought for a moment and realized that there really wasn't anything unresolved today, so she stretched out her arms and, with a wicked smile, bargained with her brother, "Since you said you want to relax, after we finish watching the news, brother, why don't you accompany me to the movies?

We haven't had time to watch the latest horror movie on video yet, but the online reviews say the visuals and plot are quite thrilling!

I’m really looking forward to it!”

"...Well, let's talk about it later, later." Upon hearing this, Zhe froze, letting out a dry laugh as he frantically thought of an excuse to refuse. "Why don't you wait for Fufu to come back so we can watch it together? Movies are always more fun with more people around. Why don't we wait and watch a new art film first?"

"It's okay. We can watch it again when Fufu and the others come back!" Ling put her hands on her hips, her excitement flaring up. She immediately provoked Zhe, who was still trying to find an excuse to refuse. "Brother, you're not so scared that you want to run away, are you?"

"How, how is that possible?! I am a professional moviegoer after all." Zhe, who was burdened with the image burden of an idol, was so obsessed with saving face that he suffered for it. Even though he knew that Ling said this on purpose to provoke him, he still refused to admit it.

"That's great!! I knew brother would definitely watch it with me. Just like you said, movies are more interesting when watched with many people." Ling happily took Zhe's arm and excitedly dragged her brother, whose steps had become heavy and resistant, towards the workshop.

"Bai Yu, my good brother, when will you come back? I really need you!" Zhe, the face-conscious horror movie star, has another reason to miss Bai Yu.

Small Theater

Zhe (singing with deep emotion): Please come back soon~ I can’t bear it alone~ Please come back soon!!

Actually, it’s watchable, but Bai Zhi, who doesn’t like watching bloody horror movies: Ah cut——

Hmm? Who's thinking of me? Why do I feel a chill down my spine?

Fu Fu saw the emotional energy coming in from the background and smiled without saying anything.
