Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

Xin glanced at the girl beside him and frowned.

"She's stupid, so are you?"

"Is that thing some kind of object that can be manipulated by anyone and whose ownership can be determined at will?"

"To this day, no one has figured out why the Cretan Hollow disappeared. Even though the 'Fire Picker' has reappeared, he remains hidden in the vast sea of ​​people."

"A bunch of people are looking for their own death."

After hearing what Xin said, the girl with the ball-shaped hair who had been taught a lesson couldn't help but curl her lips.

But the emotion came and went quickly. She turned around and smiled again, and asked Xin curiously:

"What did you talk about in there? Tell me about it?"

Xin did not choose to hide it and told her briefly.

"Tsk, from what you said, it seems like that woman is quite friendly..."

"Friendly? Ha, they have ulterior motives, just playing along, just the same..."

"Oh... this is really troublesome."

The girl with the bun-haired hairstyle sighed.

"Aren't you afraid that your actions will become irreversible, and that the Fire Pickers will completely stand against New Ellito?"

"He won't implicate New Ailidu. Whoever angers him will suffer the consequences."

Xin didn't care about his friend's words, shook his head and said softly.

"So confident?"

"It's not that I'm confident, but I believe in the professor."

"That guy is right. The Fire Gatherer was originally supposed to be a god, a god created by the world to purge itself of its ills."

"If it remains like this, it is indeed worrying."

"I might be hostile to it like everyone else and not want to leave any hidden dangers."

"But the professor made it a kind of fire for humanity."

Xin's eyes were as bright as torches.

Divide the divinity and give humanity.

This was what the man she had never met but had seen and admired did.

The path of human self-rescue is like a giant tree spreading its branches, including the Defense Forces’ high-ranking officials, New Erito, the Wistar Society, the Anti-Hollow Organization, the Founder Family, the Cylons...

And the one the professor left behind was the thickest one.

……

In the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team.

"The official investigation concluded, and the reason publicly announced, was that an accident occurred with a batch of high-concentration ether explosives?"

Listening to Qingyi's words, Xuanli raised his eyebrows.

No wonder he felt the explosion was much more powerful at the time. It turned out to be because of this.

But it’s better this way, it won’t involve him.

Even those who were present at the time would probably think that what he did was just a fuse, and the real reason was the ether explosives.

No matter what, between the ether explosive and someone else's doing, the former is more credible, and more than just a little bit more.

"Yeah, but I don't think it's that simple..."

Qing Yi waved the report in his hand and smiled at Xuan Li.

"You mean it? The famous fire picker?"

"Uh...Senior, please stop teasing me..."

Zhu Yuan sat on a chair beside him, looking at Xuan Li with great curiosity, full of desire for knowledge.

"So Xuanli, what on earth did you do?"

"Don't worry, we have a reasonable explanation now. We won't report it. We are simply satisfying our curiosity."

Seeing this, Xuan Li didn't plan to hide it. It was not a big deal anyway.

"it's actually really easy."

Seeing Qing Yi also looking at him curiously, Xuan Li organized his words and continued

"After I finished processing the etheric matter, I planned to buy some tea for Senior on the black market, but a few guys caused trouble."

"I taught them a lesson, and then two more guys showed up, and Panda was injured."

Qingyi listened to Xuanli's story and nodded.

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. What next?"

Did he find the ether explosives and detonate them in revenge? Or was it accidentally detonated during the battle?

“Nothing happened.”

"I was just trying out a new technique, and ended up blowing up the underground black market. The ether explosives were accidentally carried along, which just happened to increase the power of the explosion."

"Are you saying that the main cause of the explosion wasn't the high-concentration ether explosives, but your new move?"

Looking at the surprised Qingyi, Xuanli nodded seriously.

Zhu Yuan on the other side was already lost in thought.

The attack blew up the underground black market and caused the strange phenomenon known as the White Void?

Xuan Li had no reason to lie. If it was the Fire Picker, it didn't seem impossible...

After struggling to digest this fact, Zhu Yuan raised his head and saw Qingyi already next to Xuan Li.

"Good disciple, you didn't take today's incident to heart, did you?"

"It's very hard for me to help you apply the medicine."

"No, Senior..."

"Really?"

"real."

"That's good……"

Qing Yi heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and then said to Xuan Li seriously:

"Xuan Li, you must remember that you are a good disciple of your master. You must never do anything like rebelling against Tian Gang or betraying your master and ancestors..."

"what?"

……

In front of the Public Security Bureau.

"Hey? Xuanli? Why are you leaving now..."

Seth stretched his body after get off work, turned around and saw Xuan Li walking out of the Sheriff's Bureau. His eyes lit up and he walked over.

"Hey, are you hungry now? Do you want to go eat something good with me? It's my treat!"

In Seth's eyes, although they didn't have much contact, Xuan Li, whose personality was very similar to his, was already his friend.

Seeing Seth approaching, Xuan Li smiled and put his arm around his shoulders, then said

"Let's put the meal aside for now. What you said to me before..."

"What? Oh, you mean the Fire Gatherer!"

Seth was stunned when he heard this, but after recalling it, he almost immediately got into the state, and opened his mouth with his ears erect.

"Xuan Li, you really think what I said is correct."

"The fire pickers are so abominable..."

"Actually... Seth, do you think the Fire Gatherer might have a lot of good qualities? As far as I know, he hasn't done anything bad..."

"Advantages? How could that guy possibly..."

Listening to Xuan Li's words, Seth waved his hand. "The Fire Picker has never done anything bad? What a joke. The bad things he did...

At this moment, Seth suddenly felt a little cold. He paused and frowned.

You're wearing quite a lot today, aren't you?

In order to prevent illness from affecting his work, he pays close attention to this aspect. Could it be that the weather changed in the evening?

Looking at Xuan Li, Seth thought for a moment and said

"Actually, if I'm being honest, I think the Fire Picker does have his merits. At least he was relatively friendly at the time."

"Maybe I can persuade him to return to the right path..."

"That's what I mean..."

Xuan Li let go of Seth's shoulders and waved to him.

"Well, I have something else to do, so forget about the dinner or anything. I'll be leaving now."
