As soon as it hit five in the afternoon, Mo Xuan punctually got off work and left the Public Security Bureau. Recently, he always got off work with Zhu Yuan. Actually, it was just leaving a few minutes later. They would wait until there was no one at the entrance before walking out of the Bureau together.
"See you tomorrow."
Mo Xuan said to Zhu Yuan before he left. He had an idea, which was to ask Zhu Yuan out on the weekend. But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he didn't know how to say them. He could only wait for the next opportunity.
"Mhm, see you tomorrow."
Zhu Yuan also waved at Mo Xuan, a gentle smile on her face. It could be seen that she was very happy to see Mo Xuan every day. Mo Xuan was already very satisfied with this progress.
The two separated in the parking lot and went in opposite directions. Mo Xuan rode his motorcycle and soon returned to Sixth Street. The video store was on his necessary path. Every time he passed by, he would subconsciously take a look.
"Mo Xuan, come here."
Belle was standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting. When she saw Mo Xuan return, their eyes met, and she immediately waved and said.
"Is something wrong?"
Mo Xuan wouldn't think that Belle had the leisure to call him for dinner or anything. He stopped his bike and asked at the entrance of the store. But he was pulled by the hand by Belle and walked into the store.
"Something big has happened."
Belle pulled Mo Xuan into the video store's screening room. Wise was also here. The two siblings both had serious expressions, which made Mo Xuan also realize the seriousness of the matter.
"It's like this. Did you watch the news during the day?" Wise said.
"The news? I only saw the matter of the subway area being demolished," Mo Xuan replied.
"Right, that's it. There's a big problem with this."
Wise explained to Mo Xuan with a serious expression. Before, Mo Xuan had discussed the matter of the "demolition nouveau riche" with Qingyi, but it turned out there was no such thing. The area to be demolished was called Canvas Alley. There were at least a hundred people in there. And now, they hadn't left the demolition area at all and were still living inside.
"How could this be? Didn't the government do anything?"
Mo Xuan was not okay after hearing this situation. This could no longer be explained by violent demolition. This was directly disregarding human life, completely treating them as consumables. But thinking that this was a post-apocalyptic wasteland worldview, it seemed normal again. In the apocalypse, human life was the most worthless thing. He didn't know what method Vista Engineering had used to fool everyone.
"The intelligence we got is that Vista Engineering has blocked all the signals in Canvas Alley. The people inside have no idea what's happening and are still waiting for relocation. But they can't wait any longer. The only thing waiting for them is an explosion."
Wise continued, which also explained the sinister intentions of Vista Engineering. This was a premeditated murder.
"Since the signals were blocked, how did you guys find out?" Mo Xuan asked with confusion.
"We Proxies don't personally enter the Hollows. Some things are done by commissioning agents. Today, a few agents entered a Hollow to carry out a mission. The exit of that Hollow happened to open in Canvas Alley, and they accidentally found out about Vista's conspiracy."
Belle took over the conversation from Wise and said to Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan was a little speechless. What kind of luck was this to stumble upon such a big conspiracy? Since Vista Engineering dared to do this, they must have arranged it flawlessly. Who knew it would be discovered by these people? No wonder there was no news before.
"What should I do?"
Mo Xuan asked. Although this was a human internal matter, since he knew about it, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Kicking that Dwarf Demi-human to death was certainly not an option, but at least he could bring him to justice.
"We've already thought it out. Didn't Vista Engineering use a train to transport explosives before? Do you remember?"
"I remember. It seems they used the railway in the Hollow for transport?"
Mo Xuan carefully recalled the situation in the news. The area to be demolished and New Eridu were actually separated by an associated Hollow. The main traffic route was completely covered by the Hollow. Anyway, you had to pass through the Hollow to get in and out. So Vista Engineering simply built a train that could temporarily resist the erosion of the Hollow and used the train to transport explosives on the original railway.
"That's right. We plan to hijack the train and then put all the people in it to escape from the Hollow."
Belle nodded and explained the plan they had come up with. It had to be said that Phaethon's head was very clear. To be able to think of a very feasible plan so quickly brought a qualitative change to the rescue.
"I understand. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" Mo Xuan replied.
"This Hollow is called the Dead End Hollow. It's officially confirmed as one of the high-risk Hollows. The lord of the Hollow is called the Dead End Butcher."
Belle rarely joked and said to Mo Xuan very seriously. If it weren't for the fact that he had already killed a Dead End Butcher before, she wouldn't want to give him such a dangerous mission. A plan could only be considered what was humanly possible. But if the Dead End Butcher were so easy to deal with, the Dead End Hollow wouldn't have been entrenched there for so long.
"It's him again?"
Mo Xuan felt that he was quite fated with this kind of Ethereal. He had killed one yesterday, and another one came today. In fact, this kind of notorious Ethereal was not generated frequently. It was just because Hollow Zero was too special.
"An ordinary person would definitely go around it if they saw it. But this time, it might be unavoidable. To ensure that the fully loaded train is not attacked by the Dead End Butcher, we can only ask for your help."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Mo Xuan replied, he walked out the door. He didn't need any hesitation in this kind of matter. It was only natural for the power of a Rider to be used to save people.
"Wait, Mo Xuan, you..."
Belle, seeing Mo Xuan about to leave, couldn't help but grab his arm, her eyes showing a hint of worry. Seeing sister Belle looking at him like this, Mo Xuan also showed a reassuring smile.
"Are you asking if I will deal with that dwarf? Don't worry. The power of a Rider is only used to kill monsters. The life and death of humans are naturally judged by the law. I will not lay a deadly hand on a human."
Although Mo Xuan thought the Dwarf Demi-human deserved to die, he would not take that person's life. How the law punished him had nothing to do with him. He had to pass his own test.
"No, I was asking if you've eaten. How can you fight on an empty stomach?"
Belle shook her head and said. She didn't care about the Dwarf Demi-human's life or death at all. It was because Mo Xuan had just come back from work and hadn't eaten yet. Sister Belle was worried that he would encounter an accident in a poor state. This was a very serious matter. After all, it was she who had asked him to go and save people.
"Ahem, I'll eat when I get back. There's no time to waste."
Mo Xuan couldn't help but blush at this time. Belle didn't care about the principles he had just realized at all. But now was not the time for a leisurely meal. Of course he had to go.
Belle did not let go of his hand but pulled Mo Xuan to the snack shelf in the screening room. She took a piece of chocolate from it, quickly unwrapped it, and then stuffed it into Mo Xuan's mouth.
"Open your mouth. This is my snack. At least replenish some calories first."
Belle stuffed the chocolate into Mo Xuan's mouth so hard that he almost rolled his eyes. Only then did he eat all of Belle's kindness. He left the video store without even having time to wipe his mouth.
