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

"I told you to eat less."

"But you really can eat..."

Xuan Li waved his hand and sat on the chair that matched the desk beside him, holding a book on humanities and geography from the shelf in his hand.

"I can't help it, it's too delicious, and Xiren has a big appetite..."

Seth sighed helplessly, maybe this is the taste of home?

He couldn't say for sure, but it was definitely delicious.

Because of their frequent contact, Xuan Li has a good relationship with the Criminal Investigation Special Service Team, which naturally includes Seth.

After the initial admiration, with increasing contact, Seth's attitude towards Xuan Li is now the same as that towards Qing Yi.

They are all very powerful seniors.

But of course he couldn't call Xuan Li that.

"are not you going to rest?"

"I'm not sleepy yet."

Xuan Li shook his head. He didn't need any rest himself. He was still thinking about the Zero Void.

After bidding farewell to Nineveh, he did not leave Hollow Zero immediately, but went to the Scepter Army's base in the central area of ​​Hollow Zero.

He didn't forget why he went to Hollow Zero in the first place.

The information obtained was that a considerable part of the test tower investigated by the Scepter Army team was classified as confidential. After obtaining authorization to investigate, they found nothing inside.

It's like discovering an important document, only to find it's filled with blanks.

This incident made Xuan Li a little confused.

Seeing that Xuan Li had no intention of resting and seemed to be thinking about something, Seth didn't ask any more questions. After making room for him, he planned to go to sleep.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It was very light, and seemed almost inaudible because of the sound of rain outside the window, but the sound was loud enough for Seth and Xuan Li.

Seth pricked up his ears and looked at the door. Xuanli stood up and asked, and was a little confused when he found out it was Jane.

After opening the door, Jane held one hand with the other, looked up at Xuan Li with a calm expression.

"Let's talk?"

When the voice sounded, Xuan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that Jane's previous explanation did not seem to be true.

Seth lying on the bed saw that it was Seth who came to see Xuan Li, so he no longer cared. He had completed the mission today and attended the birthday dinner, so he was very sleepy.

Xuan Li closed the door gently and motioned Jian to lead the way. A moment later, the two of them arrived at the window of the living room.

Jane raised her hand and opened the window. In an instant, a gust of wind mixed with cold raindrops fell in. Seeing this, Jane quickly closed the window again.

Facing Xuan Li's frowning gaze, Jian also felt a little uncomfortable.

"I originally wanted to cool down in the cool breeze, but I forgot about the weather today..."

Looking at Jane's reaction, if Xuan Li hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have thought that the person in front of him was a criminal psychologist.

But this is enough to show how distracted she is from other things because of some important things.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xuan Li thought that his relationship with Jian was not very close at the moment, and coupled with this unclear and strange attitude, he did not joke, but spoke directly to the point.

He leaned against the side of the sofa. The lights in the living room were off, and the faint light of the rainy night shone in from outside and fell on him.

"Speaking of which...I don't know either."

Jane crossed her arms over her chest, tilted her head slightly, her eyes flickering, and spoke softly.

"what?"

"Don't be surprised."

"I don't know where to begin."

Jane explained, then hesitated for a moment. Instead of saying what was in her heart immediately, she took out a candy from her pocket.

"Eat candy?"

After the words fell, Xuan Li blinked. Is Jane possessed by Ailian? Why does it feel so strange...

She was totally unlike the Jane he remembered.

Could it be fake?

As his thoughts started to flow, Xuan Li's gaze towards Jian changed.

However, Jane didn't notice it, or she noticed it but didn't care. She just handed the candy in her hand to Xuan Li.

Xuan Li picked up the candy, looked at Jane, and then looked at the candy in his hand.

After thinking for a while, he opened the package. The candy looked slightly crystal clear in the dim light, showing a translucent pink color.

He put the candy into his mouth, then his eyes widened slightly and he exclaimed in admiration.

"Not bad, what kind of candy is this? I like the taste..."

Xuan Li has always had a sweet tooth, and occasionally asking Ailian for candy was partly due to his bad taste, but also partly due to this factor.

And the candy Jane gave him was very much to his taste.

“Haven’t you ever eaten it…”

However, when listening to Xuan Li's words, a look of disappointment appeared on Jane's face, but it changed as Xuan Li's voice rang out.

“It’s like eating a flower.”

She looked at Xuan Li, her eyes shining.

Like eating a flower...

"what happened?"

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows, but Jian suddenly smiled and said

"Xuan Li, when I first heard this name, I thought it was just a name."

"But now it seems that there are so many coincidences in the world, and they are so similar... It seems that I have found it..."

"What did you find?"

Jian didn't explain anything, Xuan Li was very confused, and simply didn't want to argue anymore, so he just said

"To be honest, this isn't the first time we've met. I have a feeling you're looking for someone, but judging by your reaction, that person is obviously not me."

"The first time we met was at the underground black market in the Janus District. I was wearing a mask at that time. I'm sure you were impressed by me."

Xuan Li spread out one hand. Jane was obviously stunned when she heard what he said, and then frowned.

"that is you?"

Thinking of something, a blush quickly crept up on her face, not out of shyness, but out of anger.

"Are you the guy wearing a mask and followed by a little bandit who stole my boots?"

Jane was a little incredulous.

"You, how could you do such a thing?!"

In response to Jane's accusation, Xuan Li simply spread out his other hand.

Looking at Xuan Li's face, Jian didn't know what to say, but she recalled something and said through gritted teeth

"It does sound like something you would do..."

After calming down, Jane became more certain of her inner thoughts, but the same doubts did not decrease, but increased instead.

“So young…”

Suddenly, Jane's tail stretched out from behind, nodded at Xuan Li, with an exclamation on her face.

Obviously, because Xuan Li exposed the underground black market, Jane's attitude towards him has changed a lot.

After retracting his tail, Jian walked towards the sofa and sat down on it. He propped his face with one hand and watched the rain falling outside the window.

Under Xuan Li's gaze, Jian said softly

"Xuan Li... do you believe in the past?"

"That was already predetermined and cannot be changed."
