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

The next morning, at the civet cat's house.

It was peaceful and tranquil.

"It's time to get up Xuanli!"

"Hmm? No response?"

"Take my fierce tiger pounce, meow!"

The cat screamed again and threw itself onto the bed using all four limbs, but when it fell into the soft quilt, it felt a little dazed.

Nekomata subconsciously raised a hand and clapped it, his eyes lowering, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

No, what about people?

"Nekomata, what do you want?"

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, a hand gently patted Nekomata's shoulder, and at the same time a soft voice sounded in his ear. The movement of the person behind him scared the unsuspecting Nekomata.

Before he could recover from the shock, he felt a wisp of hot air coming from his ears, and a strong and strange feeling came over him. The cat felt a little uncomfortable all over and quickly turned around to look at Xuan Li.

"I woke you up out of kindness, but you scared me!"

The cat raised its eyebrows again, hiding the blush on its cheeks, and complained with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Huh? You come to my place so early in the morning to cause trouble. It's good that I don't get angry at you, right? Besides... I didn't expect that this would scare you."

Xuan Li shook his head. He hadn't intended to scare the cat at first, but he hadn't expected the cat to be so timid...

He stretched leisurely. He had handed over last night's matter to Xin to deal with, and now he felt a lot more relaxed. Gemini's matter was also in the afternoon, so he had originally planned to sleep in.

After all, it's rare that Qingyi has something to do and can't take care of him these days.

"What do you mean by making trouble, meow..."

The cat puffed out its cheeks again and its ears drooped slightly, as if it was in a bad mood because of Xuan Li's words.

"Well, thank you Nekomata for pushing me..."

Xuan Li saw the cat's expression change again, and spoke softly with some helplessness.

From the establishment of the raccoon cat's house to now, the relationship between him and the cat has become more and more casual and free.

This also exposed the little tempers of the cats in the Nekomata one by one, making Xuanli feel that the cats in the Nekomata were no different from the cats in the raccoon cat house.

To put it bluntly, it feels like taking care of a daughter.

Well, raising a cat and a daughter?

A strange correlation...

But there's nothing he can do about it. Xuanli likes cats, and cats act funny from time to time. The more they get along, the more he becomes like an "old father".

Shaking his head slightly, Xuan Li withdrew his thoughts, relaxed his body, and fell on the bed, apparently intending to rest for a while.

But it was obvious that the cat would not let him have his wish. Just when her mood had improved after hearing what he said, she saw it lying on the bed, making the words she just heard full of "coaxing" nature.

The cat frowned and put its hands on its hips.

Looking at Xuan Li, she thought for a moment and then sighed softly.

Forget it, Master Cat won't care about such a small matter. It's time to change the cat litter...

The cat turned around and left again, busying itself with the affairs of the civet cat's house, and Xuan Li fell asleep again naturally without being disturbed.

As for "time jump", it always slipped through my fingers in a flash...

……

The Golden Crow rises and falls.

"Eh? Is this really okay..."

Kelin stood outside the civet cat's house, looking at the scene inside with some trepidation. The warm sunlight shone in, and the cats were lying lazily, looking very cozy.

"What's wrong with that? This guy has been sleeping through it all, so we'd be at a loss if we just sent him a wake-up call..."

Ailian waved her hand, disagreeing with Kelin's words. She raised the speaker in her hand and was about to press the button when Kelin spoke again.

"Miss Ailian, how about...wait a little longer?"

She pursed her lips as she looked at the loudspeaker in Ailian's hand. She had just said something to Ailian. This kind of rude wake-up call was the first time she had encountered it...

"Oh no, if we wait any longer we'll be late for the rendezvous..."

As he spoke, Ailian pressed the switch in his hand.

The next second, as the voice rang out from the loudspeaker, the few pedestrians on the road all looked sideways, their attention focused on the two of them, or to be more precise, on the sound of the loudspeaker.

After a few breaths...

With a whoosh, a flash of blue light passed by, and the next second the loudspeaker in Ailian's hand was completely frozen, the sound stopped abruptly, the door of the Civet Cat House was opened, and Xuan Li walked out of it.

"Where did you learn that?"

Thinking about the voice that had just been heard, Xuan Li's face darkened and he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Complaints and sarcasm made it seem like Ailian had completely forgotten about any sense of shame.

But the problem is that he is the protagonist!

"Self-taught~"

Ailian smiled slightly and shook it casually, and the ice crystals on the speaker shattered. Sure enough, this had a good effect on Xuan Li.

"Self-taught? You're really smart, Ailian..."

"Wow! If you're so smart, you must be doing really well in school, right? You're the kind of kid who gets praised by your parents when they come to see you..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I remember Lekaan should have a parent-teacher conference for you or something. He must be very happy to share the glory, right? I'm so envious..."

Xuan Li smiled lightly, and his light tone made Ailian's face darken in her ears. Kelin on the side glanced at her quietly and silently chose to shut up.

She'd better not get involved, so as not to get herself into trouble.

She felt that with her language ability, she would be killed without a single trace left... It would be better to be cautious in treating Mr. Xuan Li in the future.

"You guy..."

Ailian tightened her grip and gritted her teeth slightly. Her emotions were in turmoil and she was filled with great doubts.

How does this guy know me so well?

Did she tell him about school?

How come she even knew that Lekaan was holding a parent-teacher conference for her?

Wait, this guy isn't secretly investigating me...

As the thought came to her mind, Ai Lian looked at Xuan Li warily, recalling the scene when they first met.

This guy has never been a good person...

Well, even if he saved Ruby, he's not a good person...

Xuan Li didn't know what Ai Lian was thinking. Seeing that she stopped talking, he thought she had surrendered and stopped for the time being.

"The rope maker should be ready, right? When do we leave? Where are the others?"

Xuan Li looked at Kelin and asked.

Ailian was naturally not in a good position to answer questions right now, probably still feeling depressed, but his series of questions also made Kelin nervous.

"First, sir, Master Ropemaker is already waiting for us. It should be twelve minutes now. We can head to the cave now and prepare to break through. If we hurry, we can catch the subway in five minutes, and we'll be there in half an hour..."
