On the road New Eridu, Outer Ring Oil Well District, a truck was speeding along the wilderness road.
Ling was in the passenger seat, admiring the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. Griseo was sitting in the back seat, and Billy was sitting in the driver's seat.
"I didn't expect that the person who came this time was actually the store manager Ling."
Billy was chatting casually while holding the steering wheel.
This is how things develop--
In order to trace the whereabouts of Perlman, Outer Ring's force 'Sons of Calydon' made a request. They wanted to talk to Phaethon face to face.
Billy of Cunning Hares was a member of Sons of Calydon, so he became the middle contact.
But Outer Ring is not like the urban area, the folk customs are rough, who knows what dangers we may encounter.
In Billy's opinion, it stands to reason that Zhe, the elder brother of the two siblings, should come along while Ling stays in the store to look after the house.
"Billy, you shouldn't look down on me just because I'm a girl, right?"
Ling curled her lips unconvinced and said, "Isn't Griseo also a girl? What are you worried about? Besides, isn't there still you?
You are a fan of Starlight Knight, you can't even protect your friends, right?"
"Hey, since the bell manager has said so, I, Billy, promise that I will never let you lose a hair!"
Obviously, Billy was very impressed by Ling's words, and he immediately spoke boldly.
"What if you don't do it?"
"I made the decision and waived the commission fee for Boss Nicole!"
"That's what you said."
Ling grinned, she had been waiting for this moment, and then she pulled off a piece of hair in front of Billy.
"No way! Manager Ling, we are partners!! We don't play like this..."
Billy screamed, his lofty ideals suddenly turned into a tone of grievance.
"Partner? How much does it cost per pound..."
The bell flicked gracefully, and the purple hair floated into the wilderness in the wind.
"Manager Ling, I feel like if you were one of those capitalists, you would definitely be more sinister than Perlman?"
"No, I think Nicole is."
Although Ling was just joking with Billy, she really wasn't too worried. Although Outer Ring was dangerous, it was also not under the jurisdiction of New Eridu.
Therefore, there is no official agency restricting Proxy activities, so there is no need to worry about the risk of [Phaethon] being exposed.
As for the Hollows disaster?
Just those small Hollows and Griseo on the roadside can be wiped out by one person. It is just a matter of time.
Lingyi turned around and saw Griseo looking at his phone with his head down, so he asked curiously, "By the way, Griseo, what are you looking at? Hey, why did you change your phone to a new one? Where's the old one?"
"Manager Ling, I know this question!"
Billy left the steering wheel with his right hand, raised his thumb and gestured to the bell, and said, "I put [Zhuanzhuan] in the old one, [Zhuanzhuan], an officially certified second-hand brand..."
"Stop! Billy, we didn't answer the advertisement and we didn't get the money! Peace of Mind drive your car!"
Suzuguro interrupted him with a face, and did not accept the advertising sponsorship money to make any sense of presence.
In the back row, Griseo raised his head and replied, "Sister Ling, I gave my old phone to sister Sunna as a backup phone."
As she said that, she turned the screen of her phone to the ring. On it was a message from Trigger, with the general content as follows:
> "Griseo, can you help me imagine which kind of romantic date is the most exciting?
>A: The two of them sat side by side on the old wicker chairs, the chirping of cicadas filled the corner of the courtyard, and neither of them spoke.
>B: The two of them walked hand in hand through the bluestone alley. He raised his hand to brush away her fallen hair, and the evening breeze carried the fragrance of gardenia on her face.
>C: The two of them were nestled under an umbrella on the beach. He dug out a scoop of ice cream and handed it to her. The sea rolled by her feet and gold fragments fell on the tips of her hair.
>D: Sitting next to the camping canopy, he leaned against her to watch the sunset, and the evening breeze entangled the corners of their clothes together.
"..."
After reading the chat history, Ling had a thought in her mind: I really asked this question too much.
Originally, Pact was assigned as rotation field service.
In this commission, it was her brother Zhe's turn to run the field service, but Trigger asked Griseo for 'help', so he replaced his brother with himself.
As for the real purpose of Trigger?
It must be that the drunkard doesn't care about the wine, but that bastard brother.
But Ling didn't mind coming out this time.
Outer Ring How wonderful, the air is much fresher.
The only thing that made the scene look bad was that a Dayun was driving in front of me. It looked a little out of control.
"Hey, Billy, look at the 'Dayun' in front, it looks a bit like a summoner from another world!"
"Huh?"
Billy Hearing the bell, he glanced forward and his pupils shrank in fear.
It was not a summoner from another world, but a fuel tanker. It was out of control, crossed the double solid line in the center, and rushed straight towards their car.
The car seemed to say again, 'Just talk to my insurance!'
"Mr. Bell, hurry up!! Griseo Sit tight!!"
Billy grasped the steering wheel tightly and turned to the left crazily, the truck's tires squealing on the road.
Ling was thrown towards the car door, and there was only one thought left in her mind - it's over, it's over, I really want to travel to another world!
However, Billy's operation had no effect, and the opponent seemed determined to collide with it.
"Ah, we're going to hit you! We're going to hit you..."
Billy was so frightened that he could not speak coherently.
At the critical moment, Suzu clung to the armrest, stared at the out-of-control Dayun in front of her, and shouted angrily, "Damn! Just let me fix this, right?!"
"We are all trying our best to live, but we just don't have the brakes, right?!"
"Come on Griseo! Let's see what the real Dayun is!"
"Mr. Bell, what nonsense are you talking about!!" Billy was sweating profusely and shouting while controlling the car frantically.
In the back seat, Griseo heard what Ling said, nodded, and said calmly, "Mr. Knight, please. Stop that big guy."
"Ah?"
Billy was horrified to see that in a millisecond, the figure he admired appeared between the two cars - Mr. Knight!
No... Griseo can only be summoned in Hollows with the help of Ether Energy?
From the corner of his eye, Billy saw that Wild Hollow, on the left side of the road and under the cliff, had shrunk in half in an instant.
The decrease in Hollows means that Ether Energy is being lost.
Then, it is not difficult to guess where the missing part Ether Energy went.
The logic core of Billy was running wildly, and it came to a conclusion in an instant - Griseo was outside Hollows, and directly called Ether Energy in the adjacent Hollows!
On the other side, the out-of-control oil tanker was severely elbowed by Mr. Knight's sword and crashed into the cliff on the inside of the road.
At the same time, Billy turned the steering wheel and braked suddenly. Mr. Knight stepped forward to help. The large truck stopped a few millimeters in front of the fence and almost rushed off the cliff.
Billy almost flew out of the front windshield and lay on the steering wheel, gasping for air.
"I'll drop Starlight Knight! This is the speed bump I want!!"
Suzuya breathed for a long time, calming down her mentality, and then stared at the 'Dayun' that had been pushed to the cliff.
"Comparing with me Dayun, right? I can't kill you!"
Between the two out-of-control cars, Griseo had left his seat at some point and landed gently in the palm of Mr. Knight.
She looked solemnly at the cliff in the distance, where there were two distant, vague and hostile colors...
