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

"Who are you anyway? Where are Ling and Zhe?"

Amby's voice rang out. Logically, Emily-Ann wouldn't answer the call casually, but since she did so, it must be nothing serious.

On the sofa, Ling was kneeling with her arms resting on the backrest, looking at Xuanli and Emilian curiously.

She could hear the sound of the phone call.

Xuan Li glanced at Ling, suddenly thought of something, smiled lightly, and felt that his idea was quite good.

"The Rope Makers are in my hands now. Please help me connect them to Nicole, otherwise..."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

An Bi's voice came immediately from the other end of the call. She was really a little surprised, and there was a hint of solemnity in her tone.

On the sofa, Ling widened her eyes when she heard Xuan Li's words.

What is he planning to do?

"I'm Nicole, who are you?"

Soon, Nicole's voice was heard on the other end of the call.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is how much the Rope Makers hold in your hearts."

"Fifty thousand dinnies, and I'll see to it that the ropemaker brother and sister are safe and sound."

"How about it? Think about it?"

Xuan Li's tone was filled with an unknown smile, and to Ling it sounded like a real "kidnapper", except that he was a "kidnapper" who had the overall situation in control.

She widened her eyes, already confused about what Xuan Li was planning to do.

Even Zhe, who was concentrating on the HDD system on the other side, was drawn to it.

Meanwhile, in the Cunning Rabbit House.

"Fifty thousand dinnies...hiss, how come that's exactly the entire balance of the Rabbit House..."

Nicole frowned, feeling that she was in big trouble.

The income of Cunning Rabbit House is not low, but the expenses are also high, and there are also outstanding debts, so the balance is not much.

But this small balance is for the electricity bill, food expenses and other things...

"Nicole, blackmailing us for only 50,000 dinars is a bit…"

Ambi was a little skeptical about the real situation on the other end of the call. Who would kidnap someone for 50,000 dinnies, and directly kidnap the legendary rope maker "Phaethon"?

She knew the abilities of the rope maker brother and sister.

"Perhaps they've already received sufficient funds from Phaethon and learned about the general situation of the Rabbit House, which is why they're demanding this amount of dime."

Nicole's expression changed, and she automatically imagined the reasonable original situation.

"Boss Nicole! This isn't right. Why would Emilian choose to call, and under the name of Phaethon?"

Billy, holding his head in his hands, said in distress that if the Rabbit House account was emptied, the next ones to suffer would be his gun oil budget and his already low salary.

According to Boss Nicole's habit, she would definitely say that gun oil can be used sparingly and wages can be skipped, but people cannot go hungry.

"Boss Nicole, do you think it's because there's something wrong with Emilian's language module? You said it can still be used. There's something wrong with the shell. You said it can still be used. Plus, you ordered Bomb to make money, so this is what happened!"

Billy's brain worked quickly and he gave a reasonable explanation in an instant.

Nicole frowned when she heard this. Could it be that she had really gone too far before?

"Nicole, I think the other side might be threatening Emilian with the rope maker. You know it won't betray us."

Nicole listened to Amby's words and nodded repeatedly.

Ambi was right, it must be because of this, not because she was saving money.

"So Nicole, what are you going to do?"

Amby came to Nicole's side and asked.

"What else can we do? Give it to him!"

Nicole has figured it out. The other party's blackmailing of the Rabbit House is definitely a coincidence. Damn it. The Rabbit House only has this little bit of meat, and it was looted.

"Ahhh! Bastard!"

Nicole banged the table in anger, but since they were threatening her with the rope maker, she had no choice.

So Nicole could only suppress her anger and discuss with Xuanli on the other end of the call how to divert Dingni.

Inside the video store.

"It seems that you hold a very important place in the heart of the Cunning Rabbit House."

"At least more than fifty thousand dinnies."

Xuan Li looked at Ling and smiled slightly.

Ling just looked at Emily Ann, then looked at Xuan Li, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said

"There are very few people who can get the priceless Dinny from the Cunning Rabbit House, and Xuanli, you are one of them."

Listening to Ling's ambiguous praise, Xuan Li just waved his hand, squatted down, and rubbed Emilian's head with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's really funny."

"Next, I'll trouble you to explain. After all, even if I say I'm Xuan Li, they won't believe me."

Dingni and the others are just fun things to do, so they won't really come to the Cunning Rabbit House.

If that's the case, then even if the fake becomes real.

Looking at the faint apology on Xuanli's face, Ling became more and more confused about Xuanli.

There was no other way, so she had to go through Emilian and spent a lot of time to persuade Nicole on the other side to accept the true situation.

After the call was disconnected, Nicole and Billy's shocked screams were still echoing in her ears. Ling rubbed her ears and looked at Xuan Li with a slight sigh.

Thinking that she would have to ask the people from Cunning Rabbit House to "interview" Xuan Li later, she found it difficult to imagine what the scene would be like.

"By the way, aren't you afraid that Nicole and the others will be angry?"

Although she heard the tone on the other end, no one was angry, they were all surprised.

"Given their personalities, they probably wouldn't get angry about something like this, but if they do, I will sincerely apologize."

"If I deliver a few more big deals, Nicole will probably forgive me... Sigh, I suddenly feel like playing around, there's nothing I can do."

Xuan Li spread his hands and replied to Ling.

Ling looked at Xuan Li, shook her head slightly, and said curiously

"I never thought you would do such a thing."

"That doesn't seem to be in line with your character."

She now feels that Xuan Li is a very complicated person, and her understanding of Xuan Li is still shallow.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Li drank the last sip of the drink in the cup, put it on the table, and his expression returned to normal. He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the wall of the cup, making a crisp echo.

"Why make a conclusion so early about personality or something like that?"

"Just like you don't know whether I am my true self without the disguise or my fake face behind the mask."

Xuan Li thought that he was not a pure person at all, and it was difficult for him to be pure.

"Tsk... I always feel like you're pretending to be profound, Xuanli."

"Hey? Is there any?"

After chatting with Ling for a while, Xuan Li's expression became serious and he mentioned the main reason why he came to the video store.

After telling Lingzhe and the others about the Public Security Bureau, they didn't mind Xuanli using the video store as a shield and readily agreed.

Afterwards, Xuan Li talked about another important matter.

About the two people who were temporarily detained by the military and left the place where he was born.

"You want us to help you find where you're being held?"

Zhe frowned slightly. He would naturally not stand idly by in response to Xuan Li's request, but this kind of thing was indeed a bit difficult.

Because the other party is the defense force.

"Investigating matters related to the Defense Force is somewhat difficult."

Ling said it directly. She also knew the threat these two people posed to Xuan Li and wanted to help.

"Can't it do that?"

Xuan Li looked at the HDD system. Compared to him, Ling and Zhe, who were already familiar with Fairy after a period of adjustment, obviously understood Fairy better.

Following Xuan Li's gaze, Zhe understood who Xuan Li was referring to.

He was shocked at first, but then felt relieved. Xuan Li had so many secrets, and the safe containing Fairy was taken from him, so it was understandable that he knew about Fairy's existence.

Maybe he knows something about Fairy.

If Xuan Li knew what Zhe was thinking at this moment, he would have to say sorry. In fact, he might not know more about Fairy than the rope craftsman brother and sister.

Before Xuan Li came in, Zhe issued a "gag order" to Fairy. After all, Fairy's existence was too sensitive, and now it seems that there is no need for it.

"The device has switched from standby mode to active mode. Power consumption will increase. Please be advised."

Fairy, who "woke up" from standby mode, gave Ling a shot of prevention first.

But Ling obviously didn't care. There were still several days before this month's electricity bill came out, and she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time.

After explaining the situation to Fairy, Ling asked

"Fairy, can you do this?"

"There are too many unknown variables to answer the master."

"We need to know the specific information of the target person."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Li did not delay and explained the information he got from the Public Security Bureau to Fairy.

"Of course, the target person is not under the control of the Defense Forces and is a temporary illegal individual. I can use other non-military facilities to obtain the target person's temporary location."

After receiving a positive answer, Ling was happy for Xuanli. Under her instructions, Fairy quickly entered the analysis.

After a while.

"Those two people are actually in the Mars area?"
