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

"That's not up to you, Ling..."

"and many more!"

Ling raised her hands to block in front of her body with a serious look, knowing that she was doomed, so she planned to preserve her pride!

"I want to make it clear, Xuanli, I would never say anything bad about you in secret!"

"I'll say it to your face!"

"The kind that's said to your face!"

Never give in, never admit defeat, and never fear hardships and difficulties. This is what she has always practiced!

Ling looked as if she was ready to sacrifice herself bravely, and her aura gradually rose. Xuan Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw her.

Is it going to catch fire?

Electric energy appeared in his hand, and then turned into ice energy, and then several strands of fire energy surged out.

A stream of pure water quickly condensed in Xuan Li's hands.

Ling's eyes widened slightly as she watched this scene.

"Wait, I'm not prepared for this!"

Every failure makes one wiser, and she has been through it so many times, so she must be prepared for Xuan Li's favorite way of bullying her.

But in this case, the conductor that she had carefully selected and prepared with great difficulty was useless!

Before being enveloped by the water, Ling suddenly thought of a word.

The mission failed!

……

"Second target?"

"Well, while you were busy with other things, I completed some commissions related to dead end holes and received a special new commission."

On the way back to Liufen Street, Ling and Xuanli walked side by side. At this time, Ling was telling Xuanli about some of the latest developments.

"This morning, a high-priced, specific commission contacted my brother and me through the rope network. The other party didn't specify what they wanted, only saying that they would discuss it in detail later through private message."

"My brother is worried about our new account's low level. It's really unusual for them to be so secretive in contacting us. I'm afraid they have some hidden secrets, or are using a scam or something..."

Ling sighed helplessly and continued

"Later, we determined that the other party might be from Baiqi Heavy Industry. They contacted us again, saying that the matter was of great importance. They also revealed our Phaethon's identity and wanted to meet us offline..."

"I was still hesitant, but the commission is really high. As you know, Fairy's video store is on the verge of bankruptcy due to electricity bill problems. It's really hard to refuse..."

As she spoke, Ling sighed again.

"Oh, I don't know how she got so much electricity, how she made the power supply bureau turn a blind eye, and how she used up all the electricity without us noticing..."

But she still has to pay for all this.

There is no way, since it is the artificial intelligence that we "raise" ourselves.

Then Ling touched her hair a little embarrassedly, a smile appeared on her face, and she said

"so……"

Meeting Ling's gaze, Xuan Li said softly

"So you're planning to let me meet you offline on your behalf?"

Upon hearing this, Ling nodded quickly. Her brother was worried about her safety and was originally going to go with her, but his timing coincided with Xuan Li's meeting with the mysterious man.

So she let Xuan Li go in her place. This way, her brother wouldn't worry, and the commission could be sorted out, killing two birds with one stone!

"Sure, it's just pretending to be Phaethon. It's a piece of cake for me!"

Xuan Li waved his hand, already understanding the general idea, and did not refuse. After all, this was not a big deal, and he could just explain it after finding out the situation.

Besides, he could take advantage of the free time to go to the Dead End Cave again.

Take this hole and put it in your pocket!

"Yeah! Xuanli is the best!"

After getting Xuanli's consent, Ling cheered softly.

Obviously, at this moment she had forgotten the scene not long ago where Xuan Li controlled the water flow, constantly making her clothes switch back and forth between dry and wet, and constantly turning her into a drowned chicken.

The two returned to Liufen Street together.

At the same time, in the Janus District Public Security Bureau branch, the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team was busy with some things.

One is the Lamia Hollow incident, and the series of criminal incidents caused by the expansion and disappearance of the Lamia Hollow.

Another case is that the electricity consumption at a certain place is unusually large, and it is suspected that illegal activities are taking place, which requires investigation by the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force.

Speaking of this matter, it was the power supply bureau that discovered the abnormality early on, but after reporting it to the ordinary sheriff, they did not find any clues.

So, without alerting the suspects, the Power Supply Bureau managed to retain the bill payer's information and handed the case over to the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force...

As for why both of these "major cases" fell on the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team, it was because these incidents occurred in the Janusz District, and the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team had a special status in the Janusz District...

In Zhu Yuan's words, it means taking on the responsibility without hesitation.

Sheriff's Bureau, inside the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force office.

"Zhu Yuan, this place... you should be familiar with it."

Qingyi was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a piece of information in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yuan.

"What? Senior, you said... I'm more familiar with it?"

Zhu Yuan was watching a video about "After the Lamia Hole disappeared, a certain organization of cave robbers fled after injuring people due to the erosion of the hole." He was preparing to find the remaining few people who had not been brought to justice. He looked at Qingyi when he heard this.

Didn’t she remember that her predecessor was going to investigate “big electricity users”?

How could this matter have anything to do with her?

"Because I remember you've been here. Look, it's the video store on Liufen Street. The one who paid the electricity bill was the store manager there."

Zhu Yuan took the information and looked at it in confusion.

The video store on Liufen Street? She certainly wouldn't forget it. After all...

She looked at the information in her hand, feeling a bit surprised and confused. That's right, she knew these two people. They were the two managers of the video store...

But they don't look like illegal people, and they don't look like people who would do illegal activities.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuan had an idea and thought of something.

She looked at Qingyi and blinked her bright big eyes.

"senior."

"Do you think Xuanli did this?"

"After all, that small video store and Ling and Zhe definitely don't have the ability to consume such a huge amount of electricity. It must be Xuanli who did it. After all, he has a good relationship with the people there..."

The more Zhu Yuan spoke, the more certain she became. She didn't have much contact with Lingzhe and his sister at the moment. The only thing she knew a little more about Ling was because they met at the Civet Cat's House and she got to know her through Xuan Li.

Seth, who was still busy sorting the information on the computer, looked at them with confusion as he listened to what they said.

Judging from what the seniors and superiors said, Xuan Li seems to be very extraordinary?

Isn't he a righteous, somewhat aether-adaptive physique handyman? What's going on here...

Seth was a little confused.
