Chapter 46: Method of escape
"Although I don't want to spoil the fun! But it's not the time to be happy yet, Nico!" At this moment, Nico, who was about to pick up the safe on the ground, was interrupted by Eous, who appeared suddenly. "Calm down and listen to me first!"
"It's all that bad hacker's fault! It deleted the escape data I reserved for leaving the Hollow!"
"You... you mean we can't get out——!"
Hearing this, Nico panicked instantly, her body went limp uncontrollably, and she fell backward. Ye Qingfeng, who had sharp eyes, stepped forward, intending to catch her with his spacious chest.
As a result, Anbi was one step ahead, and Nico fell into her arms with a crying face.
Sure enough... Sister Nico is Anbi's true love...
"I haven't had lunch with Sister Mo Nika yet, damn it... so unwilling!" Billy sighed about his past life. "However... it was also a not-bad machine life."
"Calm down, we can think of other ways to get out."
At this moment, Anbi, who was still very calm, gave several people a shot of adrenaline.
"That... I actually..."
Ye Qingfeng, who wasn't panicked at all, was about to speak when he was interrupted by Eous.
"Actually there is a way! Just need Nico to nod and agree."
"I agree!"
Nico stood up abruptly, so fast that it startled Anbi behind her.
"Agreed so quickly..." Ling muttered silently, controlling Eous's arm to rest on the safe. "That bad hacker said there is something similar to Luo Saita in here, and with it, you can enter and leave the Hollow at will."
Ye Qingfeng heard three words that were quite familiar to him.
Luo Saita data? Isn't this what he drew before?
At the time in the video store, time was urgent, Wise didn't say this, just said a hacker used Nico and the others still in the Hollow to threaten them to hand over the safe password.
"If what that bad guy said is true, we can use the things inside the safe to leave the Hollow. Of course, Nico, you still need to agree."
"I've already said it, I agree! Moreover..." Nico suddenly reached out and poked Eous's forehead. "Although I, Nico, am greedy for money, at the very least I know that if you have a life to earn it, you have to have a life to spend it!"
"Then the client?"
"Hmph! It's this time! Old lady doesn't care about these!! Open it!"
Nico snorted. She hadn't found the middleman to settle the score yet! If they couldn't get out, how could she blackmail a sum of Dennies!
Saying this, she looked at Ye Qingfeng, whom she was most worried about. For an old oil-slick like her, hearing such news made her feel desperate.
Let alone a newcomer like Qingfeng?
What surprised her quite a bit was that she could barely see any panic from Ye Qingfeng. Before she could think more, she saw Eous running to the safe with its short legs.
"You already know the password, right!"
Nico shifted her attention back to the safe and Eous, asking uncertainly.
"That's right!"
As Ling's words fell, the safe made a "beep" sound. Eous hurriedly reached out and pulled open the safe's password door, and a chip lay quietly inside.
"However... I also don't know what kind of things are stored in here. If forced to read, the consequences might be very serious."
"Wait, there's one thing I don't quite understand." Anbi suddenly interrupted. "Your main body is outside the Hollow, you could have just walked away, why take the risk to come back to help us?"
"What are your intentions?"
Billy was rarely silent, just gripping his handgun tightly.
"Anbi!" Nico called out to Anbi in a low voice. After all, they had to rely on Phaethon to take them out.
Ye Qingfeng touched his chin with interest, watching Eous silently, waiting for Ling's answer.
No matter how things developed, he had the Hollow map in his mind, ensuring he could take everyone out of the Hollow.
Regarding this tricky question from Anbi, he was also curious about how Ling would answer.
"What a strange question."
Instantly, the eyes of the three people present, except Ye Qingfeng, became sharp.
"Didn't I say it when you explained the situation to Qingfeng—!" Ling suddenly paused, her mouth slightly raised. "When encountering the Public Security Bureau before, you didn't sell me out!"
"For your trust, I will also take you out of the Hollow completely."
Instantly, everyone present fell silent. Ye Qingfeng had a sudden realization.
Didn't expect Ling to be so sincere. Looks like I have to persuade Sister Nico to cooperate with Phaethon and the others more in the future.
Best to reach a long-term cooperation!
After all, they will inevitably have commissions in the Hollow in the future, and having such a reassuring backup is very important!
Ye Qingfeng didn't want to be stabbed in the back by someone at that time!
"Eh! I see the store manager is someone who can accomplish great things!"
Billy silently put away his handgun and flashed to Eous's side to get close.
Anbi also recognized Ling's point of view and lifted her alert state.
"Are there any other reasons?"
Nico glanced at Ye Qingfeng quite unexpectedly, and asked casually while brushing her hair.
"If... if I have to say..." Eous suddenly raised both hands, covering its cheeks in a shy manner. "I bought a white suit for Qingfeng, and I want to see him wear it!"
"Store manager, store manager! Is there one for me?" Billy struck a cool pose. "If I wear a suit, I can definitely invite Sister Mo Nika to dinner!"
Anbi expressionless: "..."
Nico raised her eyebrows quite unexpectedly and glanced at Ye Qingfeng. So that's it! That makes sense!
When did Qingfeng hook up with Phaethon? No wonder he was so calm!
Must be certain that Phaethon would take them out!
Since that's the case! If I don't take this opportunity to ask Qingfeng to ask them for a discount on the commission, that's not my personality!
"Right! If I fail, the reserved HDD system command will automatically release a commission on the Inter-Knot to rescue you."
Ling didn't forget to add, "At that time... I..."
"Don't worry! As long as we get out, we will definitely go to the store to save you the first time!"
Nico interrupted Ling's unfinished words directly, not forgetting to add in her heart:
At that time, we can also take the opportunity to give a discount on top of a discount!
Thinking of this, Nico suppressed her strong laughter and revealed a cunning smile.
Ye Qingfeng didn't notice Nico's hidden smile at all, and suddenly felt a cold chill in his heart, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
"Hmph hmph~" Ling let out two cute humming sounds and said arrogantly: "Even if you say so, Nico, I won't give a discount on the commission!"
Ling decisively controlled Eous to insert the chip in its hand into its head. ===== CHAPTER 47 =====
