"Stop, calm down." Ling stood in the middle of the two people.

“ZERO？！” Gerald doesn't believe ZERO can really violate the Guild headquarters and the World Government for Morley's sake.

"I didn't mean that, but I need manpower to recover in the second lap now, and I thought if I could, let Morley help me." Ling did not tell Gerald Moley why he couldn't leave the second lap now, and it was not difficult to guarantee what the plan of the association headquarters was, and the direction of the wind had changed.

"That's a real embarrassment...... Gerald looked like he was tormented by Ling's words. But I also expected Ling to say this, if it wasn't so, it wouldn't be fun. "ZERO, DON'T EMBARRASS ME TOO MUCH. I've already made concessions to Prude's matter, and if Moley doesn't pursue it, how do you want me to explain it to the headquarters? ”

"I don't need you to explain, I'll explain it myself." Ling said. It's time to 'end the holiday' and go back to the headquarters.,There's a lot of things that don't need to be explained.,They're really on vacation as ZERO.。

"What do you mean?" GERARD DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ZERO MEANT.

"I'll go back to the central circle where the world government is with you to explain, along with Pude's affairs, so Morley will stay in the second circle first, so you won't be very embarrassed Gerald." Ling said without the slightest room for maneuver.

Hearing ZERO's words, Gerald smacked his lips. "ZERO, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF TAKING MOLLY BACK, RIGHT?"

"I'm not stupid enough to be that good, Gerald, don't forget, I've been working in that place for a lot longer than you......"

"Also, since you've said that ZERO, then I'm not going to be bored." Gerald turned back to Morley. "Morley really has a very good friend, I really envy you."

"Ling, you ......" Morley knew that Ling did this all for himself, because he had an agreement with that woman not to leave the second circle, so this situation would only occur now.

"It's okay, it's all my gift to Ellis, to bring you with the second circle. In my absence, you set out to begin recovering from the current endgame, and the army that Gerald brought with him was still very useful. I will take care of the affairs of the world government and the headquarters of the association. Ling motioned to Morley not to worry too much about himself, in fact, the intentions of the Guild Headquarters were already obvious when Gerald appeared in the second round, and Morley was just a pawn for them to use against themselves. Although I don't want to admit it, I guess Hongyue has already expected all this, so he would say that to himself at the time of the turmoil in the three circles.

"Ling, you have to be careful." Although Morley didn't want Ling to go, there was no other way now.

"Then please go back to the guild headquarters with me." Gerald shrugged, it was a shame that he hadn't dealt with Morley at this time, but there was still time for that. "By the way, we came here using the 'passage', but only to come, we can't go through the 'passage' when we go back, which is really troublesome." Gerald was talking about the secret passage between the ring and the central circle, and each protection circle had a passage with the central circle, but the passage of the second circle had been closed, so it could only be used to go from the central circle to the central circle, but it could not be used to go from the second circle to the central circle. This has already been explained before, and it is because of this that Morley and Pud are completely disappointed in the world government and the headquarters of the association.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, as long as I go back with the two of you, don't all these people you brought have to stay in the second circle, and there's no need to go back, right?" Ling knew what Gerald meant by this, which was to remind himself that the second circle could no longer be regarded as a protective circle, and that it had no value for the central circle.

"So how are we going to get back to the headquarters? The second circle of flying troops has been wiped out......" Gerald sneered.

"We can use my own passage." Ling uses the key to open the door to the space. "Don't lose it, I can't guarantee what the consequences of losing it will be in the space!" After speaking, Ling walked into the space tunnel.

Although Gerald was calm on the surface, he was still shocked inside. Even though the current technology is so advanced, it is the first time that I have seen this kind of ability similar to space shuttle, and I didn't expect that even the world government can't do it, ZERO can do it so easily! ZERO: How much more can he do?

Ling opened the other side of the 'door' inside the wall of the association's headquarters, and originally wanted to open it outside the wall, but Gerald behind him had been planning something, which made Ling very unhappy, so he wanted to make Gerald 'scared'. "We're here."

*Abbreviation of the circle where the headquarters of the Hunters' Association is located: 'Hunters' Association Circle', also known as 'Headquarters Circle'. The headquarters are full of first-class super-technology facilities, and all advanced technologies can be seen in the headquarters. Everyone who lives in the Motobu circle, from the leaders to the residents, is a 'ranked' hunter.

The door to enter the circle of the headquarters also requires a hunter's license (only hunters of class A and B are allowed to enter), various vital signs (blood, fingerprints, pupil iris), and DNA gene ID card are all indispensable! And only these are not enough, but also have the application certificate of the person in the circle, (the certificate of the person in the circle: outsiders who want to enter the circle must be the insider to the association headquarters to apply for the entry of outsiders, and notify the staff of the 'wall' after approval, and the staff will let outsiders enter the circle after receiving the notice. If there is no application from an insider, outsiders are not allowed to enter the department. If the insider wants to go out, he must apply to the association headquarters for a 'time limit certificate for leaving the circle', depending on the nature of the work, the time limit is not equal, and if he does not return when it expires, he will be regarded as an outsider, and he must re-enter the circle of the department like an outsider by the person who lives in the circle to reapply to the department. ）

The means of transportation in the Motobu area are the 'capsule boats' that crisscross the air roads of the Motobu area. Each boat carries twenty people. In this area, all medical care and public transportation do not require residents to spend money. Public transport is limited to 'capsule boats', and private cars are subject to high taxes.

There are no schools in the main circle, that is, there are no children. All workers and residents are 'adults'. Even if there are husbands and wives who live in the Motobu circle, their children are not allowed to live in the circle. All the children, relatives, and family members of the Metropolitan Circle are placed in the First Protection Circle. Of course, the first protection ring is also absolutely safe.

All the electricity in the main circle comes from a huge 'nuclear reactor' underground. There are three supercomputer 'brains' in the Headquarters, which control all the day-to-day activities in the Headquarters (located on the lowest underground level of the Headquarters Building), the nuclear reactor that supplies power in the Circle (location unknown), and the First Wall of the Central Circle (the safest wall and the last line of defense to protect the Central Circle, also whose location is unknown). The password for the 'brain' is divided into 12 parts, one for each of the highest members of the association's headquarters.

Gerald, who was still thinking about things, came back to his senses when he heard ZERO's words, and stepped out of the 'space tunnel' and saw the gate of the association's headquarters! This space tunnel can actually reach the door of the headquarters directly through the heavily guarded 'wall' of the association headquarters, if ZERO uses this space tunnel for other purposes, then ...... Gerald felt a shiver in his body for a moment. "So fast, I said ZERO, how did you do that?"

"Aren't you going to take me to your boss?" Ling didn't want to answer Gerald's question.

Knowing that he couldn't get any results, Gerald kept his mouth shut. After coming to the gate of the Hunters' Association Headquarters, showing his identity to the electronic guard at the door, he entered the Hunters' Association Headquarters building with Ling.

Hunters' Association Headquarters: It is a building with 45 floors above ground and 30 floors underground. Although the entire Circle of Conservation is the work place of the association's headquarters, this headquarters building is still too ordinary. Only the direct staff of the headquarters can tell which of the many similar buildings located in the protective circle is the real 'headquarters of the association'.

Of the 45 floors above ground in the headquarters, floors 1 to 5 are reception floors, where hunters of different levels are met and assigned tasks to hunters. Ordinary studios on the 6th to 25th floors maintain the normal operation of the 'Association Headquarters'. The 26th to 30th floors are empty layers, that is, the empty layers with nothing, don't underestimate the empty layers of these 5 layers, but they can prevent the occurrence of 'accidents', which can be said to play a 'shock absorption' role. 31 to 44 are the offices where the top management of the association's headquarters works. The top floor of the 45th floor is the apron for helicopters and airships.

The 30 basement floors of the headquarters are used as laboratories, and the experiments are kept strictly secret between the laboratories.

All senior executives of the headquarters live in the protective circle, and the residence is strictly confidential. Like Gerald and Ling, they both have their own places to live in the protective circle, but they usually spend more time outside, so they don't always stay in the 'main circle'.

Gerald Tongling went directly to the work area where Heloy Seton was located on the 40th floor after the identity registration at the front desk on the first floor, the security center on the second floor, and the human biometric identification on the third floor.

(*'Rabbit' is Heloy Seton's personal secretary, whose real name is ominous, is an 'ordinary' person with a height of 160CM, and he is probably said to be ordinary, probably with a public face, but his work ability is praised by even Ling.) There is only work you can't think of, and there is no task that can't be completed by 'rabbits'! The origin of the name "rabbit" is also because of the perfect performance of Heloy Seton when he first worked, and Ling jokingly called "the ability to gather intelligence is comparable to the long ears of a rabbit, and the clean style of doing things is like a rabbit's tail that does not drag mud and water, and has a harmless face of humans and animals." It's the first time Heloy Seton has heard Zero praise someone say this, so he's been calling this capable secretary 'Rabbit' ever since. For this title, the 'rabbit' himself has no opinion, the nature of the work is to become the master's weapon, to take care of all the problems for the master, the more unnoticeable the work will be. ）

Hearing Rabbit's words, Gerald and ZERO knew that they wouldn't be able to wait any longer for Heroy, so they agreed with Rabbit that they would come to see Heroy again tomorrow, after which Gerald and Ling separated. Ling is planning to go back to her home in the 'Motobu Circle' first and sort out the things she will submit when she meets Heloy tomorrow. After Gerald was separated from Ling, he received a call from 'Rabbit' asking him to go to the Central Circle immediately.

Ling has rarely lived in the main circle over the years, there are too many things outside, although some things do not need to be solved by themselves, but since the 'poisonous weed' incident happened, Ling knows what the world government and the Hunters Association are plotting, although it is not to stop, but I want to make people's lives as peaceful as possible when I still have the ability, and I don't want to let a place like 'Paradise' reappear in the world!

Ling returned to her home in the headquarters circle, and the housework robot was dutifully doing the daily maintenance of the family even if there was no owner at home, so even if Ling didn't come back for more than half a year, she couldn't see any mess at home. Ling simply took a shower and lay on the bed after a long absence, the decoration here is no different from the room decoration in Hongyue, unlike Kate's fancy layout, which is simple.

"It seems that if the matter of the second circle is not handled properly, unexpected things may happen. Let me take over the second circle, the idea of the headquarters is really good, and I want to be less involved in the outside world from now on. If I'm not mistaken, the original intention of the headquarters or the world government was to want the hunter license in my hands, no, it should be the right in the hands of ZERO! In addition, this time Pude carried my 'arsenal' in the second circle, Pude, Pude, how could he not see it after living so long, but in the end he ended up like this. But who killed Pudder! Is it the 'man in the cape'? That 'man in the cloak' will meet next time......" Ling rubbed her brows, it seemed that she was really too tired, and fell asleep after a while.

"How long did I sleep?" As soon as Ling opened her eyes, she saw Kate's elegant figure.

"Woke you up? After sleeping for a while, seeing Xiao Lingling like this, Dad, I was really distressed. Kate put down the cup in her hand and helped Ling cover the quilt.

"Did Tsukido tell you anything?" Ling sat up and took the water that Kate had poured for herself.

"Nope. After that, we, Xiaohong, Kaoru and I went back. Xiaohong didn't say anything, Xiaoxun went to sleep as soon as she returned to the museum, and my father also made up for the beauty sleep, thinking that Xiaoling was still working hard, so I wanted to come and see Xiaoling. Only dad in the world really feels sorry for Xiaoling. Kate sat on the edge of Ling's bed. Little Lingling ...... "Kate wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to explain to Ling.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I also know that you heard that I came back to the headquarters, so you came with me. I know what happened this time. If the World Government and the Hunters' Association really wanted that, I would have gotten along with them, and I'm basically an 'idler' now. Ling got up and got dressed.

"Why don't you be my agent? Daddy feeds you! Kate playing with Ling's quilt.

“…… You're really ...... Forget it, the second lap is the most important thing now. ”

"I said Xiao Lingling, you are so stupid and stupid! Why do you always have to find such trouble for yourself? The winds of the world have changed, and you are not in a position to change them. ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you."

That's when the phone rang in the room. "It's a rabbit, why did Setton come back?" Ling sees the figure of the rabbit in the image.

"Yes. Lord Seton has just returned, and wants me to inform you and Gerald that you will be at the Guild headquarters tomorrow. …… Zero-sama......"

"It's okay, you know, it's a headquarters meeting. Tell Seyton I'll go. Ling hung up the communication.

"Little Lingling, will you use your father to accompany you?" Kate put away her laughter and looked at Ling very seriously, and Ling was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

"No, I don't. You can still solve this problem. You can also go back to the red moon to rest, you have worked hard in the second circle. Ling thanked Kate from the bottom of her heart. Although I am not mentally prepared to call him 'Daddy' yet, I don't hate him that much anymore.

"Since you said so, I won't get in your way. I'm waiting for you at Little Red Red. After saying that, Kate walked into the 'Gate of Time' created by the key.

Early the next morning, Ling went to the hall on the 43rd floor of the headquarters building where the 'headquarters meeting' was held, only to see that the others inside had already taken their seats, just waiting for ZERO's arrival.

*Headquarters Meeting: This is a meeting attended only by the top management of the Hunters' Association, and all members will only be present when there is a major incident.

Ling saw that the other eleven members of the Guild were already sitting around the round table, and Gerald was standing behind Seton. "I thought I was coming early, but I didn't expect everyone to be earlier than me."

"We've just arrived. ZERO, SIT DOWN TOO, AND TELL US ABOUT THE SECOND LAP. And you didn't ask Gerald to bring back Morley who left his post without permission, which we don't understand. Originally, there was a lot of opinion from the central circle this time, but because it was you, I gave you a face, and I didn't bring it back to Morley immediately, I hope your reasons won't be too difficult for us. "Heloy Seton got straight to the point of the conference. Everyone knows that this kind of meeting does not need to be ambiguous, and the problem is solved quickly and quickly is fundamental.

"No, it won't. I want to know what you want to know about the second circle? Ling hasn't figured out what they and the world government really think.

"All! You showed me Budd's body in the second lap with Gerald, so you didn't let Gerald return Budd, but what happened to him this time ...... Why would Pude's second circle be what it is now, if it was just a rebel army, it wouldn't be wiped out, right? George Wall, who sat to Seton's left, stared at ZERO with squinted eyes.

George Wall is the representative of the 'national leaders' of the twelve leaders of the association's headquarters and the head of the seventh protection circle.

In counterclockwise order, Ling and Heroi Seton were in charge of military affairs, with Gerald sitting behind Heroy. Heloi was flanked by George Wall (Seventh Circle Master) and Poisen Hocco (Secretary General of the World Government), who were representatives of the 'Leaders of the Nation'. Next up are the archaeologist in charge of 'World History', Rosenfuss, and the world's ethnohistorian, Kaye Arthur. Then there are the physicist El Vera and the inventor Edward Sherley, who is in charge of 'science'. Next to them are Ann Lena (female), a psychiatrist in charge of the 'psychological' aspect, and Martin Taylor, a psychologist. Finally, there are the anatomist Edhrra Xia and the geneticist Constan Jane, who is in charge of the 'medicine'. (Originally, one of them was a man named Albert, but he committed suicide at home for unknown reasons, so it became the current group)

Hearing George Wall ask, Ling smiled and said, "Well, I already understand what people want to know." Then I'll explain to you one by one when the situation occurs at the beginning of the second lap. ”
