Chapter 372 Kill Them First
After Ling expressed her respect for Zhuo's wishes, Zhuo looked at her for several seconds - he also put aside the slight worry about possible embarrassment and spoke slowly.

"...Um, just now...I met Uesugi Yue when I was shopping. Uesugi is from the Uesugi family, one of the top three families of the Snake Eight Families."

"Hmm. Hmm. Is that so."

Ling didn't seem to know what Zhuo was talking about, but he just nodded calmly. Zhuo looked straight into Ling's eyes.

"When I came back, I saw someone staring at our door. He disappeared only after you showed up."

"……Um?"

Ling frowned slightly and said nothing.

"He's a man, not very tall, but he has a decent appearance and his body looks like he's been trained."

Zhuo asked insinuatingly, "Is he a hybrid here for observation and surveillance?" Then, Zero wavered... but it seemed that he was not wavering. Instead, he regained his composure.

"So... there's a suspected hybrid watching us, right?"

"probably."

Zhuo said it was probably, but in his heart he was almost certain that the man was from the mixed-blood world. His appearance and temperament were not like those of an ordinary person. Although he was polite and courteous, Zhuo always felt a sense of déjà vu from him.

Hearing what Zhuo said, Ling blinked, then picked up the glass on the coffee table and took a sip of water.

I'm afraid this means dumbfounded.

"...Then let him continue to monitor."

"Eh?"

"Because the other party has not stepped into our territory, if it is a hybrid, there is almost no possibility that it is alone. Since it noticed us, it means that it has a certain amount of power. Zhuo understands that if you want to live a stable life in society, some things are more important than fists. Even if it is here to monitor us, as long as it doesn't really disturb us, it's better to leave it alone for now."

Ling said calmly, his eyes slowly changing from dumbfounded to the calmness he had when he was outside.

It can also be called indifference.

"No matter which side the hybrids are from, there is no reason for them to come to see us. If they wanted to come, they should have contacted us in advance. But this is not a big deal."

After Ling finished speaking calmly, Zhuo looked at her expression and was speechless.

Shouldn’t it be “She looked at me… (omitted here)… it’s better to strike first”?

"Besides, even if someone is really monitoring us now, this kind of thing cannot be stopped. With the current technological strength, if you really want to monitor someone, sending people to follow them is a clumsy and backward method. In this case, what is the purpose of doing this deliberately?"

"……so."

After Ling finished speaking, he turned his head, glanced at Zhuo, then leaned on Zhuo and sighed softly.

"… Although Zhuo has realized it, he still needs time to get used to the world here. In fact, it doesn't matter if he's not used to it, after all, those people have nothing to do with us."

"so."

“…We have decided to open a store.”

"Yeah, a milk tea shop."

“…So don’t worry about it.”

"Ah."

Zhuo was very happy that Ling could classify her and herself into "our" world. At the same time, she understood Ling's feelings towards that other world and how she was much more reliable than herself when encountering problems, so she gently stroked her head.

"...Miss Commander, who is so calm and collected, what should I do if I meet those people again?" Ling was leaning on Zhuo's chest, so Zhuo stroked her head and asked.

Then, Ling slowly raised his head and looked at Zhuo with calm eyes.

Seeing confusion in her expression, as if she didn't understand why Zhuo asked that, Zhuo also looked at her with the same look.

Under Zhuo's gaze, Ling seemed to understand the reason, so he withdrew his gaze and leaned on him again.

"...I think it's okay for Zhuo to do whatever he wants."

"Eh? Aren't you supposed to ignore it?"

Zhuo thought Ling would tell him not to interfere, but Ling shook his head.

"No... If you are just standing outside the red line, or just choosing to observe, we can't do anything about it. Since you met again, it is very likely intentional, so no matter how you deal with it, it will be fine. Of course, I still hope you can tell me."

"Yeah. If you have something to say to us, then just make an appointment to come over and say it. Or you can send a text message. It's weird to hide and observe. If that's all, I'll ignore him as long as it doesn't affect our lives. If he comes again... won't it be troublesome?"

"Then solve the problem."

"What if they want to kill us?"

"Then kill them first."

"Isn't this a bit too much? If others see this, they will think we are unstable, right?"

"Then kill them all."

Although from Zero's perspective, Zhuo would probably do the same, but he is obviously an ordinary person who has hardly ever killed anyone, so it would be very difficult for him to actually do it.

However, when he heard Ling speaking in a tone that had become colder than before, and burying his face in Zhuo's chest again, as if he was acting coquettishly, Zhuo simply replied, "Oh, is that so?", and then picked up Ling's knees and back and placed them across his thighs.

Seeing Ling suddenly stiffen her neck and look up at him, Zhuo smiled gently and kissed her forehead to comfort her.

Soon, Zero reacted and turned his eyes away, then buried his face in his chest to hide it.

Perhaps because Zero had trouble switching between the two states, her momentum was stronger than usual, and her forehead pressing against his chest seemed about to hit him.

This person is totally different from the Zero who talked about "killing them all" in an extremely calm tone before. Zhuo couldn't help but laugh.

"...After all, I'm not Zero, so I may not be able to do these things for the time being...But I will still follow your ideas, so I support your decision."

Zhuo is a 'newcomer' after all; of course, Zhuo feels that he and Ling are already bound together.

Therefore, he would not be self-deprecating and worry about what would happen if he really went too far. Even if Ling's words sounded a little unreasonable, as long as she wanted to do so, Zhuo would definitely support her silently.

In this case, Zhuo also decided to stay by her side. No matter how much was involved, Zhuo didn't want to care about those things.

The best evidence is...

——His balance had long been out of balance.

Hearing Zhuo's words, Ling nodded slightly and said "OK". Zhuo then ran his hands through her hair.

"If there really is trouble, I am confident that I can take you into exile, so don't worry."

Zhuo whispered in a voice that Ling could barely hear, and then laughed jokingly. Then, Ling suddenly raised her head to look at him, and then quickly looked away. Zhuo pretended to know nothing and touched her hair.
