"I... I'll find a chance to tell you why later."
There were some things Mo Xuan really couldn't tell Zhu Yuan directly. Although he was very moved that she trusted him so unguardedly, he didn't want to see this advantage be taken by others. And now he couldn't explain. He'd have to wait until Zhu Yuan became his girlfriend to say it.
"Mo Xuan, did you know that something big happened in Hollow Zero yesterday?"
Anyway, she was idle, so Zhu Yuan simply sat down next to Mo Xuan and talked about recent events. As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Investigation Team, of course she knew some very important information.
"What big thing?"
Mo Xuan knew that Zhu Yuan was definitely going to talk to him about Nineveh, so he also deliberately pretended not to know and asked.
"The super-giant Ethereal swarm Nineveh was eliminated. I have inside information that it was that mysterious knight who did it again."
Zhu Yuan did not treat Mo Xuan as someone who shouldn't know. He had also seen the mysterious knight. To explain it to him did not violate the confidentiality rules. The most important thing was that Zhu Yuan trusted him.
"Isn't that great? The range of Hollow Zero has also shrunk."
Mo Xuan replied.
"It is indeed a good thing. That was originally an Ethereal that Section 6 was responsible for. I thought they would definitely be the first to solve Nineveh."
Zhu Yuan showed a gratified expression. No matter what the knight was thinking, after eliminating Nineveh, its threat had indeed become smaller, and Hollow Zero was not so active anymore.
"Zhu Yuan, you know Section 6 very well?"
Mo Xuan asked.
"I know them fairly well. Section Chief Hoshimi Miyabi is my classmate."
"She's your classmate?!"
"From what you're saying, it seems you've seen Miyabi?"
Zhu Yuan, seeing Mo Xuan's surprised expression, her expression became slightly more serious. The way she looked at him seemed to be scrutinizing him. In her heart, she was inexplicably anxious to know the relationship between Mo Xuan and Hoshimi Miyabi.
"Mhm. Zhu Yuan, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, I was in Hollow Zero yesterday, watching the people from Section 6 pass by."
Mo Xuan scratched his head. Looking at Zhu Yuan's clear gaze, he couldn't continue to hide it anymore. Zhu Yuan was so good to him. He didn't want to fail this sentiment. Even if he couldn't make it round later, at most his knight identity would be exposed. He would not regret it. Anyway, a man from China always has to go through this kind of thing.
"What were you doing in that kind of place? It's very dangerous."
The suspicion on Zhu Yuan's face immediately turned into worry. She thought that a normal person should stay away from Hollows. A profession like hers was unavoidable. She couldn't understand why Mo Xuan would proactively go there.
"To earn some extra money."
Mo Xuan replied seriously.
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuan looked at Mo Xuan with a blank expression. She could understand these words. Earning extra money was not illegal. But she always felt that Mo Xuan didn't fit this.
"You know the Hollow Investigation Association is recruiting temporary workers, right?"
"I know that. A lot of people are teaming up there to take on commissions. Mo Xuan, are you very short on Denny?"
Zhu Yuan asked Mo Xuan with confusion. He himself said he didn't smoke or drink. Other than eating and drinking, there should be no other consumption. So Zhu Yuan didn't understand why he was earning extra money. The problem was that this extra money was not from working at a convenience store, but from risking his life. No one would be willing to do this kind of work unless necessary.
"Not really. The salary from the Public Security Bureau is enough. But you need to have savings to deal with unexpected accidents, right?"
Mo Xuan tried to explain.
"What accident?"
"For example, you see I'm not young anymore. If I want to marry a girl I like, I can't just be a moocher and be a live-in son-in-law, right?"
Mo Xuan looked at Zhu Yuan for a while, then looked away and said with some embarrassment. This reason was very sufficient, which made Zhu Yuan half-cry, half-laugh.
"Heh, you really... I can't say your idea is bad. But you should rest when you're on vacation. What if you don't have the energy when you're on duty?"
Zhu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Mo Xuan's reason for earning extra money was a bit too pure. So pure that she couldn't complain about anything. If he wasn't thinking about finding a wife and getting married, was he going to be single for the rest of his life? This need was too proper.
"Aren't you the same? You're also working when you're on vacation."
Mo Xuan said with a smile.
"At least what I do is not as dangerous as what you do, right? As a Public Security officer, you have to enter and exit Hollows with me in the first place. If you increase the time you spend in Hollows yourself, it's very easy to have an accident. I'm really worried about you."
Zhu Yuan did not hide her relationship with Mo Xuan. Feelings are mutual. Mo Xuan had a good impression of her. How could she not feel it? Gradually, she also began to care about him in her heart. Half was the concern of a teammate, and the other half was the concern for Mo Xuan as a person.
"Thank you, Zhu Yuan. I promise to go only once in a while. I'm not greedy. I'll save up my Denny slowly."
Mo Xuan, listening to Zhu Yuan's words, felt warm in his heart. He thought of the first Wonder Ride Book he had gotten today. Its name was Brave Dragon. Where does courage come from? It starts from holding Zhu Yuan's hand now.
By the time Mo Xuan came to his senses, he was already holding Zhu Yuan's left hand with his right. He was super brave now. At the risk of her affection decreasing, at the risk of being kicked to pieces by Zhu Yuan, he held her hand.
Zhu Yuan's body trembled slightly. She could feel that Mo Xuan was also not confident when he made this move. His hand was now trembling more than hers. This actually diluted some of her shy emotions. She also did not think of pulling her hand back.
"If... if the girl you like is willing to be with you without any financial needs, would you still go to Hollow Zero?"
Zhu Yuan pursed her lips and asked Mo Xuan in a very light voice. To say this normally might have been passed off as a joke. But at this time, the two were holding hands. The taste had completely changed. This was simply hinting that she could accept a poor boy. Mo Xuan's heart was pounding. He had to recite "Brave Dragon" for a long time to return to normal.
"I probably would still go. The problem of the Hollow is something that everyone in New Eridu has to face. Even with a meager force, I also want to make it less active."
Mo Xuan said without hesitation. If there were no accidents, he would be inseparable from Hollow Zero for the rest of his life. Either he would drain his life and die inside, or he would eliminate Hollow Zero. But he was actually still a little hesitant about this.
"Sigh, never mind. You're an adult. It's good to have your own ideas. Be careful. Remember to find me if you have difficulties."
Zhu Yuan sighed and said. Mo Xuan's answer did not disappoint her. On the contrary, she was very gratified. This meant that the person next to her did not just value money but also had a pure heart. She was gradually attracted to him like this.
"Thank you, Zhu Yuan. you're still so good to me."
Mo Xuan said with a smile. Now his mentality had calmed down. The hand he was holding felt like it had become a part of him, which made him feel that he was fine again.
