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

"By the way, what's your name?"

Before taking Xuanli back to the Public Security Bureau, Zhu Yuan asked a few questions.

At dusk, nearly half of the setting sun still emits light, and the red sunset glow ripples in the sky.

Strands of golden light fell through the clouds, like petals falling from heaven, breathtakingly beautiful.

Under the gentle sunset, Xuan Li looked at Zhu Yuan with curved eyes and a gentle smile.

"Xuan Li, nice to meet you."

Except for Cunning Rabbit House and Phaethon, no one else knows his name, so it doesn't matter if you tell it.

Moreover, there are so many people in the world with the same name and surname. Even if there is someone who really suspects that he is related to Yi Hai, as long as he wants, there are many ways to dispel the suspicion.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xuan Li only wants to use his original name.

After the words fell, Zhu Yuan was slightly stunned, then nodded, turned around and said

"Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Li followed Zhu Yuan, and whether intentionally or not, Qing Yi fell behind.

Before leaving, Qingyi took a look at the place where the ether crystal was originally located and reported the information using the communication device.

Although she had to go back to the Public Security Bureau because of Xuan Li's matter, she didn't find anything special here except for the ether crystal that had been preserved until now and had only dissipated.

However, an investigation is still needed. After all, the remains survived outside the cave. Although the time was short, it is still worth investigating.

Next, leave it to the specialized people.

Qingyi withdrew her gaze and looked at Xuanli's back in front of her, her slightly transparent eyes gleaming with light.

For some reason, she always felt something was strange.

But I can’t put it into words, I can’t explain it clearly.

In front, Xuan Li was thinking about what to do next, but his attention was attracted by something behind Zhu Yuan.

That was the rappelling device behind her waist, but it was now in a mess. The bulges on both sides were twisted, and the middle part was also significantly deformed.

This was probably caused by him not being able to hold back when he was saving people...

I don’t know how much of his strength will remain after he transforms into a skeleton.

After all, the inside of the cave is the home turf, but it's different outside the cave...

"What are you looking at?"

A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Xuan Li turned his head and saw Qingyi approaching and looking at him with a frown.

"what?"

Xuan Li was stunned for a moment, then looking at Qingyi's expression, he understood what she meant. Just as he was about to explain, Zhu Yuan turned around and looked at him.

"What's wrong, Senior?"

"It's okay, just go to the back."

Qingyi glanced somewhere, then looked at Zhu Yuan and said softly.

Although Zhu Yuan didn't know what was going on, he still leaned back and let Qingyi lead the way.

Thinking of the latter's eyes just now, she leaned down and said with sudden enlightenment

"Are you talking about this? This was damaged while inside the cave. I'll replace it when I get back to the police station."

Zhu Yuan smiled at Xuan Li and began to explain as they walked.

"I see. It seems the officer was in considerable danger. I wonder how difficult the sheriff's job really is."

"I used to think being a sheriff was an easy job, but seeing the police officer like this, I've overturned that idea."

"But I have to say, a police officer like you is really worthy of respect."

There was a hint of admiration in Xuan Li's tone as he smiled back at Zhu Yuan, his tone sounding like a casual chat between friends.

"No, no, it's just that I'm in the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force, so I come into contact with a lot of matters on a daily basis."

Zhu Yuan could sense Xuan Li's attitude, and felt a little embarrassed when she heard his praise, with her cheeks slightly red.

"In fact, under normal circumstances, the sheriffs encounter trivial matters between citizens. Even when I don't encounter major cases, it's the same."

"For example, the day before yesterday..."

Xuan Li listened quietly to Zhu Yuan's story, smiling from time to time and responding with a few words, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

He glanced at the man in blue who was silently leading the way in front of him, then retracted his gaze and continued to listen to the words of the people beside him.

On the unruly seniors and the serious juniors...

Tsk.

The harmonious conversation between the two people occasionally reached the ears of Qingyi who was walking silently. She looked confused and sighed slowly after a moment.

I asked for help online and misunderstood someone. Now I feel a little embarrassed. What should I do?

I don’t know how to face him later.

The ancients said: No one is perfect.

Xuan Li shouldn’t mind, right?

Maybe?

Sigh, I should have thought about it more. Xuan Li doesn't look like a pervert at all...

Qingyi was annoyed for a while and soon fell into the thinking of hindsight.

……

In the police car, Xuan Li sat in the back seat, leaning against the window, his starry eyes looking at the tall buildings and pedestrians outside the window with a calm expression.

Is this the new Elliott?

At this moment, he has truly integrated into this city.

"Xuan, Xuanli, that..."

Qingyi was sitting on the other side of the back seat. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to apologize and reached out to gently pull the corner of Xuanli's clothes.

But before she opened her mouth, Xuan Li already knew what she was going to say and waved at her gently.

"It's okay, officer. After all, my situation was indeed unique, and then there was that misunderstanding. Your reaction is normal."

"And this just goes to show that you, officer, care about your colleagues. From what I heard from you two just now, you're her senior. I feel like I'm truly lucky to have someone like you."

Listening to Xuan Li's words, Qing Yi felt even more guilty. Such a good citizen, but...

After quickly adjusting his emotions, Qingyi's face returned to its usual expression.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Qingyi, and she is Zhu Yuan. We are both members of the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Special Task Force."

Xuan Li heard this and said with a smile

"I just heard Officer Zhu Yuan talk about the Criminal Investigation Special Task Force. It sounds like a very powerful special organization. I'm sure the two officers must be role models for many people in the Public Security Bureau."

"Well, you should ask Zhu Yuan."

Qing Yi smiled faintly. Zhu Yuan, who was driving in front, heard the words and kept looking ahead.

"Hey? Why are you asking me?"

"Because Zhu Yuan, you are the most popular person in the Public Security Bureau."

"Senior, please don't..."

Zhu Yuan's cheeks turned slightly red. This kind of words sounded really embarrassing!

Xuan Li felt the atmosphere inside the car, his expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Saying nice things is just a matter of touching your upper lip to your lower lip, and the reward you get is already obvious.

The return journey was not short, so we still had some time to spare. After chatting for a few minutes, the car gradually became quiet.

Xuan Li thought quietly.
