Chapter 161 A mistake
"New Erito Midday News.
Recently, the Janus Sub-district Police Station received a report from the public...
...carry out arrest operations and capture criminals..., the sheriff took the opportunity to rescue several kidnapped and illegally detained people. They formed a small civilian group code-named "Hollow Guides".
"
"Slurp, slurp—(chew, chew, chew), slurp." The sound of slurping noodles echoed in the videotape workshop. It was so blissful to have a bowl of steaming and fragrant soup noodles on such a cold day.
Several people sitting around the table were eating while listening to the news on TV.
"…The Public Security Bureau's investigation and interrogation revealed that these individuals were engaged in illegal activities.
A gang of "cavemans" who specialize in extorting and defrauding citizens in caves by taking advantage of the crisis when the citizens are lost.
The gang has also been captured and imprisoned.
If any citizen has encountered extortion by this gang of criminals in the cave, they can go to... "'

"Wow~
Brother, isn’t that the “Empty Guide” the new guy who was famous for a while and caused trouble because he refused to accept money?
How come after just a short while, he went from being a caring citizen to a scammer? He was even kidnapped and finally apprehended by the sheriff. How on earth does the Shepherd teach his newbies?!
Xiao Bai Fu Fu, you can't just believe what the Shepherd says in the future.
But speaking of it, it seems that Xiaobai and Fufu joined at the same time as this "guide"?
"Have you seen him?" Ling put down the remote control and asked Zhe with a look of amazement and curiosity.
"Puff—cough cough! Cough..." Bai Yu, who was eating noodles, started choking and coughing when he heard this.
"Why did you choke? Come on, drink some water." Zhe put down his phone, quickly took the cup of water that Ling had just poured and handed it to Bai Yu, gently patting his back to help Bai Yu calm down.
"Thank you. I'm fine, cough cough. I ate a little too fast, and the chili flakes might have gotten stuck in my throat.
What is a "hollow guide"?
No, I haven’t seen it, I don’t know.
We are just two very 'ordinary' newcomers, looking for cats, dogs and children every day.
It's hard enough to support myself, so I really don't have the energy to care about other people." Bai Yu wiped his mouth with a tissue, took the cup from Zhe's hand and took a few sips, hiding his embarrassment and trying to change the subject.
"Ahem, I didn't expect that catching a cave robber would make the news. I thought it was just a common occurrence.
When I first met Nicole and the others, I was also arrested by the police once. At that time, Amby told me in prison that the police usually don’t deal with such matters. "
"...Brother Xiaobai, there are too many things to complain about in this sentence." Ling's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to complain about first. "But what Anbi said is also correct.
Generally speaking, the Sheriff's Department's attitude towards "rope makers" and "burrow thieves" is essentially "no prosecution unless reported by the public." As long as they don't act too conspicuously and blow themselves up in plain sight, most sheriffs will turn a blind eye.
"One reason is that many people who join this industry are driven by profit and decide to become "hole robbers" in a fit of rage. They are then quickly frightened to death by the corpses, and after being lucky enough to escape with their lives, most of them will cry and quit.
Another reason is that the government's personnel for dealing with voids are perennially insufficient, and void disasters are frequent. "Vault robbers" operate within the voids year-round. They inevitably come into contact with the corpses, and in a disguised way, they contribute to controlling void activity and reducing the danger.
“There are many talented people among the people who are able to enter and exit the cave.
But the [Void Investigation Association] couldn't afford to support all its members, so they had to do a 'part-time job' themselves.
Many "cavern robbers" are famous in the Hollow Investigation Association, such as Nicole.
The tasks that they [Cunning Rabbit House] handle make it difficult for people to distinguish the scope of their job duties.
Therefore, unless the "burrow thieves" cause a major incident, affecting innocent citizens and disrupting social order and stability, a large-scale arrest operation will be launched. Zhe followed Ling's lead and together they explained the unspoken rules and common sense of their profession to the two new "rope makers."
"But ultimately, our line of work is still murky. If we're caught by the Public Security Bureau trying to boost sales, we can only consider ourselves unlucky," Ling said helplessly, taking a bite of the barbecued pork in her noodles. "But, with such fanfare being reported in the news, it seems that 'The Hollow Guide' is in big trouble."
Oh, I remember now!
Could it be that this was the reason why a group of troublemakers suddenly rushed into the [Rope Net] earlier?!
It really makes people curious, why did it become like this?"
Because of what?
Fu Fu ate her noodles quietly, her eyes wandering. She thought to herself: Of course, that's because those guys are imposters.
Those people were sent in by Ms. Jian and Bai Zhi themselves.
Looking back...
"Don't you really need to rest before you act?" Ms. Jane, back in the car, was in a particularly good mood, touching up her makeup with a small mirror. She kindly suggested, "Those people don't know you've emerged from the Hollow anyway. Why don't you go back and rest before you start messing with them?"
"...Thank you for your concern. But it will be hard for me to rest in peace unless I deal with all the things." Bai Zhi, who did not look abnormal on the surface, rubbed his abdomen, which had been kicked several times, while holding the knife in his hands.
Fortunately, Ms. Jian didn't know his physical condition, so Bai Zhi was able to adjust the data to refresh the bruises and pain on his body. Otherwise, Bai Zhi wouldn't dare to speak at all, fearing that he would burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ms. Jane is indeed a seasoned criminal expert, and her interrogation skills are top-notch. She knows exactly where to hit someone without actually hurting them, yet still causing them significant pain.
Bai Zhi, who was already eager to apologize, didn't dare to fight back. He could only passively defend himself while taking the beating and maintaining his persona, even having to hold back his screams.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi was used to enduring pain, so he was able to hold back his tears and not reveal the truth in front of Ms. Jian.
But he hadn't had a good rest these past few days. He received a lot of bad news as soon as he came out of the cave, and was beaten. It was impossible for Bai Zhi to say that he had no resentment at all.
After reading the information sent by Fu Fu, these depressed feelings turned into black air and completely enveloped Bai Zhi's head.
"What a 'hollow guide'..." Bai Zhi gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone, "Drive, ma'am."
Please accompany me, the leader of the "Guide", to meet my subordinates who I have never met before."
Small Theater
Bai Zhi: It hurts! But I can’t cry out loud! I have to be strong! QAQ
