Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

After everything was explained, the other two teams were taken to their target town by their own leading teachers.

Li Xingchen, Zero and others also followed Ren Jianfei and rushed all the way to a small town that didn't look very developed.

The city is like a slightly old painting. There are no skyscrapers or bustling streets, but only simple buildings and quiet and peaceful streets.

It is like a corner forgotten by time, with a unique charm that has been deposited over the years.

Although this town is not big, there are many villages around it. With the popularization of the Internet, there are not many people on the streets, but the shops are all open.

There are four primary schools and one middle school in this town. If you want to go to high school, you have to go to the city.

The area that Li Xingchen and Zero are responsible for is near Shuguang Primary School.

Li Xingchen looked at the information and found that this elementary school did not have any dormitories. Students came to school at 7:30 in the morning and went home at 5:00 in the evening.

The previous students disappeared probably after school.

It couldn't be in a student's home because no injury incident like the one at Leifeng Mountain occurred.

No teacher reported any student absence during class.

So there are only two possible times for the murderer to commit the crime: one is on the way home from school, and the other is in the school during the time after school.

After a series of children disappeared from the school, the school introduced a new policy requiring parents to pick up children after school.

This plan has been implemented for a week, and no other child has gone missing yet. Some children have simply asked for leave and not come to school.

At this time, Li Xingchen and Zero were hiding on the top of a building, watching the students and parents coming and going.

"Most of those kids were lost along the way," Li Xingchen said to Zero beside him. "Brother, should we start by checking the students' routes home from school?"

Zero glanced at the crowd. Although this school was not very big, it had a lot of students. There were three classes in the first grade alone.

With so many students, it would be impossible to just check blindly. Zero's brain started working automatically and quickly, and the route home of the missing students overlapped with the town map displayed on the academy watch.

After a moment, Zero frowned slightly.

"I just compared the routes taken by these missing students. They're all disorganized. But I think we can start with the common routes taken by those missing students."

Li Xingchen nodded. "That makes sense. Let's mark these common sections first, and then check them one by one."

As he said that, he raised his hand and operated number two to mark.

Although Zero felt that his brain was more useful, he did not stop Li Xingchen from doing so.

To teach a child well is to let him learn to be independent and learn to think.

Zero was very pleased. Although Li Xingchen was picked up by him and it was his first time raising a human, it was obvious that his little thing was growing well and was particularly outstanding.

The marking in Zero's brain was completed in seconds, and he pointed out the repeated routes to Li Xingchen one by one.

Many times, he would rather let Li Xingchen make decisions and put them into practice, which would take some time. It didn't matter if he made mistakes, he would just watch from the side.

Although there were sometimes some minor accidents, such as Li Xingchen getting injured when killing the Wind Wolf King, or the beast tide...

In the future, his clone will protect the little thing. When its life is in danger, he will take action, which will naturally solve the problem of serious injuries.

After marking the last place, Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

……

There was silence in the air for a moment.

At that moment, a leaf happened to fall on the back of Li Xingchen's head. Zero leaned forward a little and reached out to grab it.

Because the outstretched hand was originally behind Li Xingchen, Li Xingchen did not notice Zero's action.

Also, because Zero wanted to grow up with Li Xingchen, his height was based on Li Xingchen's height.

So just by chance, one person's lips touched another person's lips.

That's not quite correct.

To be exact, Li Xingchen just turned around and wanted to talk to Zero, but the word "brother" was stuck in his throat and he only had time to open his mouth.

The contact caused her to close her mouth reflexively, and she just happened to kiss Zero's slightly pursed lower lip, causing her nose to hurt a little...

Li Xingchen's mind was completely blank at this moment.

These eyes in front of me are so black, and their eyelashes are so long...

what! !

what! ! ! !

Li Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened and he felt a sudden panic in his heart.

He completely forgot that they were still on the tree branch. His foot stepped on empty air and he fell backward uncontrollably.

Number Zero quickly grabbed him, pulled him into his arms, turned around, took two steps back, and gave the position he had just stood in to Li Xingchen. He then stood in the position where Li Xingchen had stood before.

Zero held Li Xingchen's arm with one hand and his other around his waist. The two of them stood firmly on the branch again.

"Be careful."

The voice was cool, gentle, and tinged with concern, just like usual.

Li Xingchen's heartbeat was like a drum, the "boom, boom, boom" sound ringing in his ears. He felt the heat spreading rapidly on his face. He must be blushing.

What the hell is this!!

Ah! God, kill me!

His heartbeat was completely out of control and he felt like he was about to explode.

Li Xingchen's mind was still trying very hard to calmly command himself to regulate his breathing. In fact, he was trying to do so, but his eyes were full of panic and helplessness when he looked at Zero.

He didn't even dare to guess what Zero was thinking. He only kept repeating one sentence in his mind: Calm down, calm down, breathe in slowly, breathe out slowly...

Seeing Li Xingchen like this, Zero frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and his voice unconsciously became gentler, "What? Are you scared?"

"Ah, no no no no."

Li Xingchen's voice was trembling. After he opened his mouth, he felt like he had finally come back to his senses.

He supported Zero and took a step back to stand up straight. He looked down at his hand still on Zero's arm, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

But he didn't pull it back, because this action was normal for the two of them under normal circumstances.

Li Xingchen lowered his head, staring at his hands, not daring to look into Zero's eyes. He kept thinking to himself: Don't shake, don't shake, don't shake, stay steady, stay steady, stay steady.

He adjusted his breathing twice and murmured, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

“Brother… I…”

Zero tilted his head slightly, his eyes seemed puzzled, and data information began to flash automatically in his mind. Then, he seemed to understand something, and the light in his eyes began to sparkle, like a bright galaxy, dazzling and eye-catching.

Li Xingchen lowered his head and naturally could not see Zero's expression at the moment. He was still thinking about how to explain this.

He never expected that Zero would ask him this question next.

"Was that a 'kiss' just now?"

"boom!"

Li Xingchen felt as if his head had exploded into a pulp and his brain had shut down.

He didn't dare to move. He couldn't remember whether his hands were shaking or what expression he should use to respond.

The only thing in my head is that low and sweet voice,

"Was it a kiss?"

"Was it a kiss?"

Is it... a kiss...?
