Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Belle? What Are You Doing?



After getting ready, Wise began the consciousness transfer. His perspective then shifted to the Bangboo's body. And the first step into the Hollow was naturally to find the traces of Zhu Yuan and Qingyi. This point was not difficult, after all, he had Fairy's help.

After finding the two of them, the next step was to maintain a distance, not be discovered by them, and then follow them to find the escaped culprit. Along the way, Zhu Yuan and her team also encountered many Ethereal, but with their skills, this level was not a threat at all.

At this time, as they tracked the culprit's trail, the number of Ethereal on the road also gradually increased. Qingyi, seeing this, also realized the reason. "I never thought that the EMP emitter would not only be effective on electronic devices, but also have a considerable impact on Ethereal. The nearby Ethereal have all come out one after another. If we let that kid escape, it's inevitable that another incident will occur."

After clearing the last Ethereal in front of her, Qingyi couldn't help but sigh a little. And Zhu Yuan at her side also nodded in agreement. "Mmm, since the culprit has a prohibited item like an EMP emitter, he's probably also involved with a criminal organization. We must catch him and find out what's behind it." Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan also began to observe the surrounding traces, wanting to find the location where the culprit had fled. However, she was interrupted by Qingyi.

"No need to look. The culprit ran to the right."

"Eh? Senior, how did you know?" Zhu Yuan looked a little confused. She hadn't even looked for long on her end, how had Qingyi already come to a conclusion?

"Traces in the snow, clues in the grass, seeing the big picture from small details, and hunting down a fugitive from a thousand miles away—this is an ancestral skill. How about it, want to learn?" Seeing Qingyi's mysterious appearance, Zhu Yuan actually took it seriously, and even took out a notebook, wanting to write it down.

"Slow down, slow down, I'm writing it down... Say it again, how did you determine that the culprit ran to the right?"

Seeing Zhu Yuan's serious appearance, Qingyi couldn't help but want to tease her again. So she squinted one eye, playfully raised her finger, and repeated what she had just said. "Traces in the snow, clues in the grass..."

"Uh, um... senior, is there a slightly less metaphysical way of saying it? What you're saying sounds like you're relying on your feelings?"

"Hmph, it is indeed based on feelings. Because my right hand is a little numb."

Hearing these words, Zhu Yuan was not angry at being teased, but instead cared about Qingyi's condition. "Ah, I didn't expect the EMP emitter to have such a big impact on you, senior. Is it very uncomfortable?"

"Mmm, my body is fine. It's just... Zhu Yuan, after we catch the culprit, can we serve up some harsh punishment?" When Qingyi said this, her speech speed increased quite a bit, carrying a bit of a personal grudge.

"Uh, it seems from all angles, we must catch him a little faster."

So the two no longer talked, but instead continued to chase in the direction the culprit had fled. At the same time, on the other side, Wise, who was quietly observing all this, also couldn't help but sigh. "This EMP emitter is really a troublesome thing. I have to be careful not to be affected."

Continuing to follow Zhu Yuan and her team, they finally found the culprit, who was huddled in a corner, terrified and panicked, not long after. When he was found, he was still shouting things like 'don't let the Ethereal come over'. It seemed that attracting the Ethereal with the emitter was just an accident.

"Citizen, please calm down. The surrounding Ethereal have been eliminated by us. You are safe now."

"Ah? R-really? The Ethereal are already... I'm safe now? That's great! Wait, y-you are the Public Security officers from before." The culprit was overjoyed after hearing that he was safe. But in his excitement, he also saw clearly who had saved him.

"What's wrong? You didn't expect us to chase you all the way here and bring you to justice?" As she spoke, Qingyi also clenched her small fists with an unfriendly expression. The joints of her fair and tender fingers were somewhat prominent due to her clenching her fists. It was not difficult to see that if he fell into her hands, then this culprit would not be safe in the future.

"No, I just didn't expect that I've been working against you all this time, and there were so many Ethereal nearby just now, yet you risked danger to come and save me..." The culprit said this with a moved expression, which made Qingyi on the side a little embarrassed to use private punishment. Forget it, I'll just be a little lighter on him then.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It is our duty as Public Security officers to protect the citizens. However, as the saying goes, 'he who is unjust is doomed to destruction.' If you hadn't misused the EMP, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

"Damn it... hm? That flowed so smoothly." The culprit still had the mind to care about this at this time. And Zhu Yuan at the side, at this time, also took out the notebook she had used for recording before.

"Citizen, according to the laws of New Eridu, my colleague and I are now arresting you on charges of illegal possession of a dangerous weapon, intentional harm to the personal and financial safety of others, and other crimes. Your name is?"

"Calo... Morong..."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Morong. You have the right to remain silent. After leaving the Hollow, you can call a lawyer or accept the help of the Public Prosecutor's Society." Hearing Zhu Yuan's words, the culprit also lowered his head without speaking. It seemed he had already resigned himself to his fate. And the former, at this time, noticed Qingyi at her side. "Senior, then let's prepare to go back to the Public Security Bureau... Hm? Senior, what's wrong? Why are you looking around?"

Hearing Zhu Yuan's confused voice, Qingyi also explained the reason for her strange feeling. "Actually, I've had a feeling all this way that there was someone else besides us nearby. But now, I suddenly can't feel it anymore."

Wise, who was eavesdropping not far away, shrank his small body behind an obstacle, trying his best not to be discovered. It was a good thing that Qingyi on the other side did not delve too deeply into it, just attributing this strange feeling to the fact that she had been hit by several EMP blasts today. A normal machine might malfunction and die after being hit once, let alone her, who had been hit several times. She was also feeling a little uncomfortable now.

And now that they had caught the culprit, there was naturally no need to continue staying in this Hollow. After all, if an ordinary person without Aether resistance stayed in here for too long, they would turn into an Ethereal.

And as they returned, Wise also did not continue to stay. He then disconnected his consciousness. It was just that when his consciousness returned to his own body, he suddenly felt a violent stimulation. It seemed that there was something wrong with his body. He then quickly discovered the source of the problem. Fortunately, it was not because of illness or injury.
