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

"Tsk, it's all my brother's fault. He never listened to me finish my words."

Ling said with some dissatisfaction.

She and Xuan Li seemed to be somewhat close, but that was just an illusion because she was too curious about him. After all, it was impossible not to be curious about the powerful body that could transform into a human.

The reason they got along well was naturally because they had gotten along before, and it felt very comfortable chatting with Xuan Li.

As for bringing people into the video store at this time, it was only because Xuan Li came at this time. Moreover, he knew the identity of "Phaethon" and had a cooperative relationship involving the military, so he didn't need to worry so much.

"Yes, yes, it's all my brother's fault..."

After Ling's little emotion disappeared, Zhe turned his attention back to Xuanli, the handsome young man who was still staying in the video store.

The transformation from a corpse to a human being... He had never actually seen such a thing with his own eyes.

Everyone knows that the void will corrode humans and turn them into skeletons, but who knows that skeletons can go against the trend and turn into humans?

Or rather, I dare not even think about it.

"Sister, it seems that Xuan Li is very likely related to what we are looking for."

"Before, Xuan Li was no different from a human except for his skeleton. We should have thought of the possibility that he could become a human again."

Seeing her brother lost in thought, Ling sighed helplessly.

"Brother, you can think of something, but don't leave me alone in the video store."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and saw Xuanli playing something with Panda and Shiba, two Bombos.

"Xuan Li, my brother had some misunderstandings about you at first, so he treated you like that. For my sake, could you please not mind?"

Coming to Xuanli's side, Ling placed her hands on her knees, bent slightly and spoke.

"It's okay. I didn't really care anyway, but I'm a little curious. What's the misunderstanding?"

Xuan Li stood up, looked at Ling and asked.

"Ah... well..."

Ling straightened up and turned her head. What should she say? She couldn't just tell Xuan Li that her brother thought he was her boyfriend.

"Anyway, come over here first. Let's discuss the commission and how to promote you."

Bringing Xuan Li into the room, although there were no customers, No. 18 still obediently returned to the counter.

Panda followed Xuanli in and soon started communicating with Ies again.

"Hello, Ling's brother. Speaking of which, this is our first meeting, right? To be more specific, this is also our first words."

"You should know something about me, but coincidentally, I am the same."

Xuan Li smiled at Zhe to show his friendliness and began to speak.

It's just that the tone is a little off.

Ling's brother?

Ling, who was standing by, noticed this. She knew that Xuanli knew Zhe's name, but he still called him that.

The tone still felt a bit unfamiliar and... sharp.

We've already agreed that I don't mind for her sake...

Ling looked at Xuan Li quietly, then at Zhe sitting opposite him, somewhat worried about how the situation would develop next.

Zhe also heard the hidden meaning of Xuanli's words, but he didn't care. After all, he was the one who was wrong.

It was his fault that he lost the friendship of others.

"Hello, my name is Zhe. I'm very happy to meet you. According to Ling, you are her good friend. In that case, you are also my friend."

He first politely eased the atmosphere, and then used the bell as a medium to dissolve the subtleties between the two people. Zhe handled the situation very well.

Feeling that the atmosphere had become better, a smile appeared on Ling's face again.

That's right.

Xuan Li nodded, and his blue eyes changed from "ice" to melting "water", accepting Zhe's kindness.

He was naturally not a petty person, and as he said himself, he did not take what happened just now to heart.

The current situation is just a test for him.

Xuan Li knew many secrets of Phaethon, and he also vaguely understood the attitudes of the two towards him, but what he needed was cooperation, cooperation led by him.

The connection between the brother and sister and him will become deeper and deeper for various reasons, not just emotional.

He needs a clear attitude.

Now it seems that the smart and very rational Zhe not only understood what he meant, but also gave him a relatively perfect answer.

"Xuan Li, would you like a drink?"

"After eating ramen, drink a cup of happy water, it will feel very comfortable."

Ling always felt that a lot had happened between Xuanli and her brother in the short period of time just now, but she could only feel it.

She simply stopped thinking about it and planned to get a drink from the refrigerator and asked Xuan Li by the way.

"Since it's Ling's suggestion, it must be correct, so please get me a cup, thank you."

Listening to Xuan Li's words, Ling felt a little happy. She hummed a little tune and left the room, heading towards the refrigerator on the second floor.

The sound of the bell coming upstairs came, and the expression on Zhe's face returned to normal. He looked at Xuan Li and asked half seriously and half curiously:

"I heard Ling tell you what you want to do, but I'm curious, why do you want to do this?"

"Now that you're human, you should be able to retreat to New Erito, let the incident with Ikai become a thing of the past, and live a normal life."

"No one would have thought that you had become a human except me and Ling, but we will definitely keep it a strict secret."

"Over at the Cunning Rabbit House, they can definitely find a reason to eliminate all the hidden dangers."

Zhe looked straight at Xuan Li. He felt that even those who knew some information about Xuan Li like him would not know that he had become a human being.

I just felt that after the skeleton disappeared, it never appeared again.

Then, Zhe continued

"Without so much trouble, you can enjoy life without worrying about it, but since you have made the choice you have now, there must be some support."

It was only then that Zhe revealed his thoughts.

He gave Xuan Li his attitude.

He also needed Xuan Li to explain his ideas to him.

So that we can cooperate better in the future.

Xuan Li still had a gentle and calm smile on his face. He sat on the sofa by himself without looking at Zhe.

Then he slowly spoke.

"I know my own character. With my character, it's absolutely impossible for me to be confused for a lifetime, let alone for even a moment."

"I won't stop until I figure it out."

"I will not retreat, nor will I give up halfway. No matter what is hidden behind this, I will go all the way."

"So... do you think we can work together?"

There was a gleam in Zhe's eyes. Xuan Li's words did not disappoint him, and were enough to make him believe it.

Xuan Lizai, holding this idea, will be of great help to what he and Ling are pursuing.

Walking in front of Xuan Li, Zhe stretched out his hand.

"Zhe."

"Xuan Li."

Xuan Li also stood up and said softly.

At this moment, "Phaethon" and "The Spark of Helios" are truly on the same front.
