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

"The changes that Baiji Heavy Industries encountered also occurred during the period of the 'Fall of the Old Capital'."

"Yes, the fall of the 'Old Capital' changed many things..."

Ling replied in a low voice, her eyes flickering slightly as if she recalled something from the past.

"Well, too many secrets have been buried, whether it's what we want to investigate or the truth behind Koleda's father's disappearance."

Zhe nodded, and Xuanli, who was standing beside him, glanced sideways as he listened to his words. Not long ago, Zhe had said something similar to him.

"Brother, tell me... can people really let go of the past?"

Ling asked softly, as if she was talking about Koleda, or about herself, or maybe... she was just asking a question.

"Letting go of the past...it's hard to do."

Zhe hesitated for a moment before answering.

"What about Xuan Li? What do you think?"

After Zhe finished speaking, Ling turned to look at Xuan Li on the sofa and asked him curiously.

Xuan Li shifted his gaze from the TV, looked at Ling, blinked, his eyes flashed, and shook his head.

"If so many people had been able to do it in the past, there wouldn't be so many calls for it. The answer to this question would be obvious."

“People are chasing the future, but they are also chasing the past. This is a rally, a rally measured in lifetimes.”

"Where we will ultimately go depends on our heart."

He seemed to be just answering Ling's question, but also seemed to be telling something or expressing something.

Ling understood what he meant.

"Brother, Baizhi Heavy Industry should also give us the commission later, so let's wait for some time."

Zhe nodded and smiled slightly.

"Well, for Phaethon, the past needs to be proven and the future needs to be pursued, and the same is true for us Phaethon."

"But we will not fall from the sun chariot. Let us move forward firmly in the past... and the future."

Listening to Zhe's words, Ling smiled and said

"Brother has suddenly become serious."

"Profound? That's an apt description."

Zhe smiled and shook his head, not caring. After chatting about some details, he started to prepare dinner.

After dinner, Lingben wanted to let Xuanli stay in the video store tonight. After all, the commission from Baiji Heavy Industry might not come until several days later, or it might come tomorrow.

But this was politely rejected by Xuan Li.

Ling didn't force it, and both sides said goodbye. Although Xuanli didn't stay, Panda stayed to play with a few Bombs.

In the deep night, Xuan Li returned to the civet cat's home.

The street lights were dim, and the lights in the Civet Cat House were not on, so it looked a little dark, but Xuan Li spotted a figure in front of the cat cafe.

Tall, with flowing white hair,

It was No. 11, whom I hadn’t seen for a while.

"Why do you have the time to come to me again?"

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows and asked curiously after walking closer.

He thought that the business was suspended on the 11th.

Well, goggles wholesale store.

"We're done with the Obsidian Camp."

No. 11 turned around and looked at Xuan Li, and said something softly and concisely.

He not only answered Xuan Li's question, but also explained why he was unable to get away during this period of time.

With a click, the door of the Civet Cat's House was opened. Xuan Li pressed his hand on the light switch, and the next second, the room was filled with light.

"If you're not here for 'training'...would you like to come in and sit down?"

"You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Xuan Li blinked, turned around and looked at No. 11 and said that he could sense that something was wrong with her condition. If it were a normal situation, she might have already started drawing her sword.

No. 11 looked at Xuanli, then looked at the cats in the cat cafe who were woken up by the lights and were stretching, and pursed his lips.

She followed Xuan Li into the cat cafe.

This seemed to be the first time she had actually walked in here.

On the cat stand, the little black cat took a casual look and didn't pay attention to No. 11, and of course, didn't pay attention to Xuan Li either.

I'm really too lazy to move.

"Xuan...Sir, I have something important to do."

No. 11 changed the address. Although it was a private meeting at the moment, when there were formal matters, it was still necessary to address each other according to their positions.

"what's up?"

Xuan Li was taking off his coat and looked at No. 11 with some curiosity when he heard this.

"Your letter of appointment has arrived, and it requires a receipt. Commander Xin couldn't contact you, so I took the initiative to take on this task..."

Xuan Li's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

"Miss, you are so silly and cute..."

After she finished speaking, No. 11 was stunned, a little confused. Facing Xuan Li's gaze, she stood there and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

"You don't have to be restrained or nervous. Just treat me as you are used to. If you can't adapt, don't force it."

Xuan Li waved his hand and sat down on the sofa beside him.

"As for the current matter..."

"Although I don't know how she discovered that you and I had known each other for a long time, but the trap has been set for you, you fell into it, and now you've come. It's irreversible."

"It's nothing. Let it be exposed. Not being exposed is a good thing. Even if it is exposed, it's nothing."

"But you're really stupid. Why would you... um... help someone count their money if you were sold one day?"

Xuan Li shook his head helplessly. No wonder he didn't choose the trigger. That guy was much smarter. Then he spoke loudly to the outside.

"You're still there, right? No need to hide anymore. Do you want to come in and have some tea to warm yourself up?"

After the words fell, there was silence outside the cat cafe for a moment, and then a figure walked out of the darkness.

He did not enter the cat cafe, but saluted outside the door and said

"Nice to meet you, sir!"

No. 11 looked at the man and realized something. His pupils shrank after hearing the voice, and he understood the cause and effect.

Immediately, some anger surged in my heart.

She was backstabbed!

Or by teammates!

"Ahem, I really didn't mean it. This was Major Xin's request. This..."

The visitor noticed No. 11's expression and immediately explained that he didn't want to fight with No. 11. After being beaten once, he never wanted to do it again.

"Alright, alright. I'm just following orders."

Xuan Li smiled lightly and said

"You too, you were being followed and didn't even notice."

No. 11 fell silent. It was indeed her fault.

The people outside felt a little embarrassed when they heard Xuan Li's words. He was good at tracking and stealth, and he had been following them from a distance with a drone. It would be strange if No. 11 could discover him.

"Um... Sir, I still have to go back and report to Major Xin. Please..."

The visitor felt that although the new commander in front of him was powerful, he was still quite friendly, and said hesitantly.

Xuan Li nodded slightly, saluted again, and then left quickly.
