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

Afterward, Wise went upstairs and got a pair of his own long pants to lend to Ellen. After all, it wasn't a good idea to disturb Belle again at this time, and besides, her pants might be too small. Although Wise's long pants were a bit too big and baggy for Ellen, at least this way, she wouldn't have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions.

"Thank you. I'm leaving now." After putting on the pants, Ellen left with only those words, departing in a great hurry. It was clear she was eager to get out of there. Wise could understand. After all, very few girls could remain calm after encountering such a situation, although for him, it was full of benefits.

Not thinking about it anymore, Wise closed the door, turned around, and went back to his room. He had just finished showering and was about to get into bed when he noticed a lump in his quilt, as if something was inside. Seeing this, Wise was a bit helpless. He didn't even need to guess who it was. Shaking his head, he finally got into bed, ready to sleep.

Then, a familiar person leaned against him, and his arm was hugged tightly by her. Who else could this person be but Belle? However, just as Wise patted her on the back, preparing to sleep, Belle suddenly spoke up again.

"Brother, what I said earlier... If, and I'm just saying if, is it possible that..."

"Zzz..."

Before Belle could finish her sentence, snoring sounds were already coming from Wise's side. It seemed he had already entered dreamland.

"Brother! Honestly! I'm so mad! Go to sleep!" Seeing this, Belle was instantly furious, but she couldn't possibly wake Wise up and continue that topic. So, helplessly, she could only give him a light punch and then continue to hug him and sleep with her eyes closed.

As for Wise, was he really asleep? Obviously not. He just didn't know how to answer at the moment, so he chose to escape. And for the time being, Wise didn't dare to make any excessive moves. But he was the only one who didn't dare to make any excessive moves. As for Belle, that was not necessarily the case...

Alright, enough nonsense. At least Wise had passed another day safely.

The next morning, Wise got up and washed up as usual. Because it was still early, he wasn't in a hurry to open the shop, so he thought he'd prepare breakfast first. However, not long after, a special guest arrived at the store. Don't get the wrong idea, it wasn't any of the female agents, but Shepherd.

"Sorry to bother you so early. Did I wake you up?"

Because she couldn't hear any movement and had woken up, Belle was also up, so the two siblings received Shepherd together.

"Not at all. But is there something important for you to come by so early in the morning?" Looking at the mysterious Shepherd in front of him, Wise's first thought was that there was some special commission. After all, besides that, the other party had no other reason to look for them.

"Of course. Listen, I have an important piece of news to tell the complete Phaethon, and that is..."

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't speak in riddles like some kind of mystery man." Belle was clearly impatient with Shepherd's way of speaking and urged him on.

"Alright, alright, don't be anxious. Also, is there any tea to drink?"

"You want tap water?"

"Uh, miss, that's going a bit too far. I've always been a quality customer, is this how you treat me?"

"Are you going to say it or not?"

"Oh my, don't you be anxious either, young man. Ahem, the news is simple. The routine investigation of Hollow Zero has begun again."

"What?!" x2

Hearing this news, the two siblings were instantly excited. Shepherd, seeing this, was rather pleased with himself. "Mhmm, you heard me right. And this time, it seems the Association is planning for a long-term battle. They've divided the routine investigation into many phases, and it's estimated to last for quite some time. After getting this news, I immediately thought of my most valued client, the great and famous Phaethon!"

And Shepherd's role didn't end there. He guessed that the siblings would probably want to participate in the investigation, so he had left a little backdoor for them on the Association's recruitment team. As long as the two of them completed a test commission inside Hollow Zero, they could be granted the qualification to legally investigate Hollow Zero as an external investigation team.

"That is indeed valuable information. Worthy of a cup of hot tea."

"Mmm, but you still have to give us some time. Let my brother and I think about it."

"Of course. A decision like this certainly can't be made in a daze right after waking up in the morning. It naturally requires careful consideration. You two think it over carefully. Once you've made a decision, you can go to 'Scott's Outpost' anytime to complete the test commission. I'll be taking my leave now."

After saying this, Shepherd left in a hurry. Before leaving, he even cast a regretful glance at the teapot not far away. Mmm, I should treat him to a good cup of tea next time.

Wise thought to himself. As for the matter of Hollow Zero, after a discussion, the siblings unanimously decided to participate. After all, this matter concerned their Teacher, and their Teacher was one of the culprits behind the Hollow Zero crisis. Although the siblings didn't believe this, which was why they decided to become Rope-masters to continue investigating this matter, trying to find out the truth and clear their Teacher's name.

Putting that aside for now, Wise first went to make breakfast. After the two of them had eaten together, he decided to go to Scott's Outpost right away. After driving there, Wise followed a soldier all the way to a tent. After entering, a woman immediately greeted him. "Hello there, handsome. Or should I call you, 'Independent Investigator'? Let me introduce myself, my name is Lei, a researcher at the Wista Academy. You can just call me by my name, everyone else usually does."

"Hello, Miss Lei."

"Mmm, very polite. But I'm not very particular about these things here. As long as you can go into the Hollow and deliver my cute observation data to my doorstep, I'll treat you as my 'dearest partner'."

Wise naturally had no objections to this. After accepting her commission, he began to collect the data. But of course, this kind of thing wasn't done by him personally. Although there was an Aether-Resistant Constitution in the system store, he hadn't redeemed it yet. Because it wasn't necessary right now, it was better to let Eous go. In any case, he would be the one controlling the consciousness in the end.

The rest was simple. He handed Eous over to an Association investigator and let her take it into the Hollow. Although she was also a beautiful young lady, she wasn't one of his own, so Wise could only pretend to be an ordinary Bangboo.
