Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

Zhe: "——?"

"Strange." In the hollow, Jiang Lianqiu curled the corners of his mouth, pretending to be ignorant. "Can Bomb blush too?"

Ies (Rin): "...Hmm? Hmm? Wah-da-wah-da-hmm!?"

The little girl sat on the swivel chair, kicking her legs on the ground and mumbling in her mouth.

Zhe narrowed his eyes and immediately understood that there might be an outsider in the cave - Ies was a specially modified Bomb that could communicate with Ling in the outside world while exploring the cave, and at the same time allow Ling to speak with its help.

This matter is a secret. Apart from the rope maker's agent who accepted the commission and entered the cave to explore, the brother and sister do not intend to let anyone else know.

In the void.

Sirius, dressed in a maid outfit, was holding the corpse vulture that had been knocked unconscious. After a few leaps between the roofs of the buildings, he landed nimbly behind Jiang Lianqiu.

"Master, the target has been successfully captured."

"Wow, it's so beautiful—mmmmmmmm!?"

Looking at Bombu who suddenly made a strange sound in front of him, Sirius tilted his head: "......?"

Chapter 164: The Targeted Brothers and Sisters Selling Porn

"So it's a talking Bomb?"

Jiang Lianqiu pinched Ies's soft face, and instantly Ies's whole body stiffened in his hands.

"Okay, I already know the little girl hiding behind this little guy, so stop hiding."

In the office, Ling, who was sitting in front of the HDD system, was stunned.

"Brother...Brother! We've been discovered!"

"Wow...! Didn't our first official Hollow exploration commission fail?!"

"Calm down, Ling, what's going on?" Zhe asked hurriedly. After his sister told him what happened, he analyzed, "The other party shouldn't be an enemy. It seems that they know Miss Charon."

"That's true, and he's really handsome... No, I mean he showed up just in time, like the guy who saves the day in a movie—"

"Ring." Zhe looked at his sister who was talking non-stop and excitedly, squinting his eyes and stretching his voice, "You really have reached this age?"

In his heart, Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He had always worried that the past that the brother and sister carried would make Ling too depressed, but looking at his sister now, it was obvious that she still had the normal desires that a girl of her age should have.

Very good, it means that his sister has not grown up as a child, and he, as her brother, can finally rest assured.

In the void.

Sirius carried the unconscious corpse vulture to Jiang Lianqiu's side, staring at Ies, his eyes flashing.

"An intelligent mechanical body? It has a strange shape."

"It seems to be being remotely controlled by someone?"

"Master, do you need Sirius to find the person behind this?"

"Hmmmmmm--no! I mean no, no! I'm not in the hollow! Maid lady, please don't hurt Ies!"

Little Bomb waved his hands in panic, and then noticed the person Sirius was holding.

"Huh? Isn't this—"

“Zoe.” Trigger stepped forward. “One of the three people we rescued from the other cave this morning. A former member of the Defense Force.”

While lacking normal vision, Trigger can discern others through their aura and ethereal energy fluctuations.

"Yun Kui... No, Master Jiang, do you know what's going on?"

"Leave the cave first and take care of your injuries. We'll talk about these things later." Jiang Lianqiu looked at Ies, "Little sister, have you figured out the way out?"

"I've figured it out! And...what should we do with this person?"

Iais pointed at Zoe, who was in Sirius's hand.

Jiang Lianqiu looked at the trigger.

Before he arrived, Trigger, who was confronting Zoe, had already known through the communicator that this man was killing former members of the Defense Force and was targeting him.

Thinking that there was no way to get more information out of her, Trigger sighed, "Killing innocent people is a crime, and intentional killing is even more serious. Hand her over to the Public Security Bureau anonymously."

……Dividing line……

Apart from the bustling core areas such as Guangying Square, the rest of the blocks in the Janus District are basically named like Liufen Street and Shisifen Street.

Inside the Random Statue store on Liufen Street, Zhe hung a sign outside the store saying it was temporarily closed. Then, he returned to the office and asked, "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"Absolutely nothing, brother." A bell rang from the office. "I've searched a lot online, even the dark web, but there's absolutely no information about Jiang Lianqiu."

Ling, who had calmed down at this time, no longer had the initial excitement. She frowned, bit her lips, gave up the search, turned around and fell directly on the sofa.

"It turned out that we knew nothing about each other, but they seemed to know everything about us, even that we opened a video store on Liufen Street."

"Brother, do you think he will know about the teacher..."

"Not sure yet." Zhe took a sip of his coffee. "Let's see first."

Because Trigger was injured by a gunshot, even though she was a former defense force member, it was difficult for her to go to a regular medical institution to treat the injury, so she could only find a place to treat it privately.

Naturally, the location was chosen to be Random's statue store.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the video store.

The brother and sister went to open the door. When they found that in addition to Trigger, Jiang Lianqiu and the maid Sirius, there was also an unfamiliar woman at the door, Zhe became alert instinctively.

"My men are here to tend to Charon's injuries."

After Jiang Lianqiu's explanation, Zhe finally felt relieved and let the four people enter the store.

The female servitor entered the office with the trigger in hand. A moment later, she came out carrying a medical kit. She saluted Jiang Lianqiu and said, "Commander, my mission is complete. Please give me your instructions."

"Return to the team."

"Yes--!"

The robot servant agreed again and turned to leave the video store without hesitation.

soldier……

Zhe and Ling looked at each other silently.

But - Commander?

For some unknown reason, Ling thought of the message she left under a post on the Rope Network last night.

Shaking her head, not connecting the two together, Ling looked at the trigger who came out, and was surprised to find that the sniper lady who was seriously injured just now had no blood stains on her clothes.

"Is your injury healed?" Jiang Lianqiu asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's healed now. That doctor was amazing. I don't understand how she did it. That... device I've never seen before, just scanned my wound like a scanner, and the injury healed."

"It sounds like a science fiction movie..." Ling twitched her lips and looked at Jiang Lianqiu again. "Brother Jiang, you said before that you had something to discuss with us. Are you planning to give us a commission?"

"You can think of it as a commission." Jiang Lianqiu looked at the brother and sister in turn, lingering briefly at their eyes.

Their teacher, Carlos of the Helios Agency, implanted some kind of intelligent crystal in the place of their eyes, giving the brother and sister the talent of controlling etheric energy.

Jiang Lianqiu was very interested in this matter and suspected that the Helios Agency might have been divided into two factions back then.

One faction advocates using Ether by any means necessary. This faction may be in collusion with the Praise Society, or even be a part of the Praise Society.

The other faction should advocate the limited development of ether under safe conditions. The brother and sister’s teacher probably belongs to this faction.

In any case, Carlos, the teacher of the film-selling brother and sister, should have something to do with the fall of the old capital and the crazy expansion of the Zero Hollow.

After all, at the end of the first season, Big Boss Bullinger, before his death, mocked the siblings for investigating the truth and clearing their teacher's name, saying they were simply indulging in a fantasy of finding the "real murderer."

Chapter 165: Why not ask for support?

"But before that, we should deal with this young lady's affairs first."

Jiang Lianqiu walked to the sofa and sat down, looking up at the trigger.

"Should I call you Miss Charon or Miss Trigger?"

"You..." Trigger stood there in a daze. After a long pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "So you've already done a background check on me?"

"Among the prayer tablets you left behind in Yunkui Mountain last night, one clearly had the word 'Charon' written on it."

Jiang Lianqiu gave a different reason to explain the reason.

"You said those signs were all your comrades, so it's obvious that Charon is your pseudonym."

"So that's the problem?" Trigger was led astray by Jiang Lianqiu. "I'm very sorry. I concealed my name. And Ropemaker, please forgive me for not revealing my real code name before."

"My name is Trigger, former sniper of the Lira team. Charon is actually my captain."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ling waved her hand and offered tea to Jiang Lianqiu and Trigger. "Ka... ahem! Miss Trigger, regarding your commission..."

The trigger fell silent.

"Do you want to see this?" Jiang Lianqiu suddenly threw out a tape.

"What is this?" Trigger subconsciously raised his hand to take it.

"This is the relic of your former comrade Rite, a former member of the Lira team. I sent someone to get it from his brother Nathan."

The hand holding the tape suddenly exerted so much force that the fingertips turned white.

"Don't you want to see the information inside?"

Trigger hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and asked Ling to help play the contents of the tape.

——When he heard that the messages were actually blessings secretly recorded by his deceased comrades on the 1000th day anniversary of his joining the squad, especially when he heard his teammates trying to persuade him not to blame himself for their injuries and not to bear it all alone, Trigger knelt on the ground powerlessly, covering his face, tears streaming from the gaps in his metal eye mask.

In a trance, the last scene of seeing his comrades, which had been flashing before his eyes constantly since his eyes were injured, finally became clear.

It was the day when the Hole Zero erupted. My companions who had been fighting hard inside the Hole looked back at me under the blood-red sky as I suddenly opened my eyes.

Each of them had a smile on their face, and then they resolutely moved forward to die, fighting for her last chance of survival.

"Captain... Acheron... Cocytus... Styx... you..."

"Miss Trigger..."

"Let her calm down." Jiang Lianqiu stopped Ling from going forward. After Shuai cried for a while, he let Sirius help her up.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Trigger bowed solemnly to Jiang Lianqiu. "You let me know that no one blames me, and you also made me understand what to do next. Thank you very much."

"I will no longer try to find everyone's shadow in a daze. I will return to the defense force and investigate the truth behind the fall of the old capital."

"I have a better suggestion." Jiang Lianqiu curled his lips. "I'm not interested in how the old capital fell, but I am very interested in the void, including its origin and the entire process that led to all this. I believe that during the investigation, the truth behind the fall of the old capital will also be revealed." "So, Miss Trigger, are you willing to join? If you agree, then your eyes will be of greater use."

"My... eyes?" Trigger raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the metal mask on his face. "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

"The ether beam damaged your eyes, but it also caused them to mutate. You should be able to see ether energy fluctuations that ordinary people can't see, right?"

Even he himself could only capture etheric energy through spiritual perception, and it was impossible to see it with the naked eye.

"This kind of vision, in theory, can only exist in Yi Hai."

"I can have someone try to restore your normal vision while maintaining your innate ability, and even further develop your eyes. If you agree—just call me Commander."

Trigger stood there for a long time, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Can I... know your identity, Mr. Jiang?"

"You don't look like an official."

Jiang Lianqiu thought for a moment and replied in a different way: "Before you officially decide to join, there is no need to know these things. But you can ask two people about this. I think they should be able to tell you whether I am trustworthy."

"One is the one you met last night, Yi Xuan, the leader of Yunkui Mountain."

"The other one is the youngest Hollow Hunter in New Eridu, Hoshimi Masaru."

Virtual virtual virtual virtual virtual hunting!

There was no reaction from the trigger yet, and the hairs on Ling and Zhe's backs stood up.

"I understand. Regardless, I'm very grateful for your help." Trigger bowed to Jiang Lianqiu again. "I'll give you a reply within three days. How can I contact you?"

Jiang Lianqiu casually reported a phone number that was obviously not from a company that operated telecommunications business in New Ailidu and was open to the public for selection.
