Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words
Chapter 32: The Fire of Helios
"Although New Ailidu appears prosperous, you and I both know that it is more like a cradle for children. You are her descendant, so you should understand that we..."
"Sir."
Suddenly, Major Xin interrupted the old man, but this did not cause dissatisfaction in the old man. He seemed to value the person in front of him very much.
"Have you ever thought that the fire will definitely follow the predetermined route?"
After these words were spoken, the old man was stunned for a moment. His eyes were deep and he remained silent for a long time.
He didn't know how to answer.
"The reason why a fire is a fire is because it can choose to ignite or extinguish. This is never something that others can decide."
Major Xin lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
After a moment's silence, the old man nodded.
"You're right."
"Old man, I have another question."
"Spark... is he considered a human, or a skeleton?"
When Major Xin's voice fell, the old man did not hesitate, put his hands behind his back and replied to her
“Not everything in this world can be divided into black and white.”
“It’s the gray between black and white.”
The gray between black and white...
Major Xin repeated this sentence silently in his heart.
Time passed little by little. The old man did not stay here for too long. After complaining about Major Xin's temper and asking her to be more restrained, he left.
So, only Major Xin was left.
The moonlight is like snow, like ink, noble and strange.
"Perhaps, due to various reasons, the fire will be what you envision in your heart."
"But I don't want it to follow the predetermined route... Isn't that just wishful thinking?"
Major Xin's eyes were as bright as torches.
The old man is old after all.
A pair of white wings slowly opened at her waist. Looking at the night scene that she could see every day, her heart finally began to fluctuate violently.
"New Ai Lidu is prosperous and powerful, but there are always swarms of rats in the sewers."
"These rats can even climb to the top of the tower."
Major Xin opened her red lips slightly, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes and murmured softly.
"I need a fire, a blazing fire to burn away all the filth."
"Spark of Helios, can you help me..."
……
"First, sir, if you want to take the bus, you can go to the platform over there and buy a ticket after you get on the bus... No, the bus is no longer running. Kelin, Kelin suggests that you take the subway..."
Looking at Kelin who was speaking incoherently and was very nervous, Xuan Li pursed his lips and forced himself to suppress the urge to "bully" her again.
"Thank you for your help."
Xuan Li smiled and said something to Kelin. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Kelin suddenly lower her body and bow to him.
"Yes, I can help you, sir. Kelin is very happy!"
A look of surprise flashed across Xuan Li's face, and he quickly waved his hands. Who was thanking whom here?
Looking at Kelin who stood up with her fists clenched in front of her and looked at him with her big eyes, Xuan Li waved goodbye to her.
After Xuan left, Kelin slowly put down her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and the hem of her skirt moved with the movement of her body.
"Looks like I helped him!"
Just as she had just said to Xuan Li, she was indeed happy to be able to help him.
"Hey! I almost forgot about Ellen!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Kelin's expression changed immediately and she ran to the other side in a panic.
The doors are about to open. If you go late, you won’t be able to get the half-price night tickets!
……
subway station.
Xuan Li followed Kelin's instructions and first bought a ticket to the Liufen Street subway from the staff at the platform, and then waited in the waiting area.
Not long after, the train arrived and Xuan Li got on. Because it was a little late, there were not many people on the train. Most of them were working office workers and students going home after having fun.
He found an empty seat and sat down, estimating Dinny's purchasing power in New Ailidu.
A subway ticket costs more than 100 denarii, which is actually not that much if you convert it. He just saw a milk tea shop on the street, and a cup of milk tea is only 200 denarii.
Thinking of the eight zeros in the land price in his memory, Xuan Li also had some understanding.
After all, in this "post-wasteland" world, energy is not a precious thing because of the existence of ether.
But due to various livelihood issues and empty encroachments, limited land has become the most precious thing. In addition, in the center of New Aili City, the price...
It's still understandable.
Xuan Li did not realize that because of his different identity as Hai and the things he cared about in his heart, his concept of Dini was still vague.
After all, when he fought against the defense forces before, he just struck a mecha worth tens of millions of dime "down".
The train was running neither fast nor slow, but very smoothly, so smoothly that Xuan Li wanted to close his eyes and rest.
"Little Li, little Li, look, there's a handsome guy..."
"Hey? Where?"
"Yes, his eyes are so pretty, and the hair color matches well. Which hair salon did you go to for dyeing? I want to go there too..."
"Do you think I have a chance? He seems to be about to fall asleep. If I sit next to him, can he lean on me to rest?"
"Mumu, what are you thinking about? Why haven't I seen you so crazy before? And you're still a high school student... Can you be more reserved..."
"But he's really good-looking."
"I know, you can ask for my contact information first..."
Xuan Li didn't know that someone was discussing him. It was only when two young and beautiful high school students came over and explained something did he realize something.
But he didn't have any contact information.
It hadn't been long since he left the Public Security Bureau, so he naturally didn't have the time to buy a cell phone and configure all its functions.
Hearing Xuan Li say this, the two girls thought they were being rejected with an excuse, but they did not lose heart. Instead, they started chatting with Xuan Li.
Xuan Li did not refuse this, but the conversation gradually became more frequent. When he heard the two discussing famous people in their school, he raised his eyebrows and noticed one of them.
Shark-like people? Coincidence?
After asking and learning the name of this Shark Xi person, Xuan Li confirmed that the Shark Xi person the two people were talking about was Ailian.
He had just met Colleen not long ago, and now he had heard news about Elaine. It seemed that he might have a connection with Victoria Housekeeping.
Thinking of Victoria Housekeeping's goal of serving high-net-worth individuals and its outstanding combat effectiveness, Xuan Li became a little curious.
If he were to recover his body, how long could Victoria Housekeeping last under his control?
Maybe a close match is possible?
Xuan Li couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Soon, he arrived at his destination. After saying goodbye to the two high school students he met by chance, he left the subway station and walked for a distance before finally seeing Liufen Street.
This is a super dark street where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere.
