Uchiha of Zero Zone

At the same time, New Eridu.

As it was getting close to night, Ling knew it was time for her to leave.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhong Yan who was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa.

For some reason, Zhong Yan gave people a very strange feeling today, as if... he had become a saint with no desires or requests. No matter what method he used to attract him, he remained unmoved.

Therefore, before leaving, she planned to do something. At least she had to establish a relationship with Zhong Yan. Otherwise, in the competition among three people, she would be completely left out.

"Zhong Yan..." Ling had made up her mind and mustered up the courage to speak, but just as she finished the first word, Zhong Yan suddenly sat up from the sofa.

Then, he turned to look at Ling and said calmly, "Ling, Zhe just sent me a message saying that the air conditioner at home has been repaired. He asked if you want to go back now. If it's not possible, I can also ask Xiaopei to prepare dinner for you."

After receiving Zhe's message, Zhong Yan immediately informed Ling of the content of the message.

Hearing this, Ling's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. She had just made up her mind to speak, but when she turned around, she was scared back by Zhong Yan's words.

How can this be good?

"Um...can you take me there?" After her brain raced for a moment, Ling said something that she regretted the moment she said it.

You could have stayed for dinner, why did you insist on nodding and saying you wanted to go back?

Ling was very upset, but since the words had already been said, she could only let things take their course.

"Of course no problem, I'll take you to the subway station." Zhong Yan agreed to Ling's request without hesitation. He had been lying at home all day, and it was time to go out and move around.

However, he had no idea what Ling was thinking at the moment, and he didn't want to know.

Yesterday, he fought several times with Ambi and Ailian. Now, he is not easily defeated, but at least he has no interest in that kind of thing.

If nothing had happened yesterday, he would have kept Ling, because she was such a beautiful girl.

And now, he walked out of the house with Ling, who looked depressed, and prepared to send her to the subway station.

As for Xiaopei, she prepared dinner for Zhong Yan at home. For her, such things have become a part of her daily life.

On the other side, on the way to the subway station, the two were not idle either, but chatted with each other.

Compared with Anbi and Ailian, Zhong Yan and Ling obviously have a lot more common topics. Perhaps it is because of each other's lively personality, so they can chat together no matter what they talk about.

Compared to a boyfriend or girlfriend, Zhong Yan felt that Ling was more like a caring older sister, but this older sister had different ideas about him.

By the way, in order to stay with Zhong Yan for a while longer, Ling deliberately slowed down her pace.

Zhong Yan naturally noticed this, but he didn't say much. He just walked silently beside her and listened to her telling about the interesting things that happened recently.

"As expected, I'm happier when I'm with you, Zhong Yan. Why don't you come to my house to sleep today? I can vacate my room for you." As they walked, Ling suddenly changed the subject.

Hearing this, Zhong Yan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You gave me the room, so where are you going to sleep?"

"Of course I'll sleep on the sofa. I can fall asleep anywhere." Ling said, with an imperceptible hint of pride in her tone.

Speaking of which...she seems to be like this in the game. No matter whether she is in the room or on the sofa in the archive room, as long as she wants to sleep, she can fall asleep immediately. I really admire her sleep quality.

"That's not a good idea. If you just enter a girl's room, someone will call the police and arrest you. I don't want to go to the Public Security Bureau to have tea and reminisce with Officer Zhu Yuan and the others." Zhong Yan scratched his head, obviously somewhat resistant to Ling's suggestion.

Seeing him like this, Ling, who had originally had a serious expression, couldn't help laughing the next second.

Zhong Yan then realized that the other party was joking with him, but when he thought about it, the relationship between the two of them was not that good yet.

If it was Ambi or Ellen who brought up this topic, then it might be true.

"By the way, Zhong Yan, what are your plans next? Will you continue to track down the Creator, or continue to be a legendary cave robber... The agreement between us should not be invalidated, right?" Ling said.

The so-called agreement actually refers to the matter of private agency. After all, with the exposure of Zhong Yan's identity, the purpose of all his previous disguises has become clear. In a sense, it was not Zhong Yan but Uchiha who became their private agent.

In this regard, Zhong Yan's answer was very direct: "The agreed things must be achieved. On weekdays, I will still get along with them as Zhong Yan. Uchiha... too many people regard it as a thorn in their eyes. If it is not necessary, don't let others know about your relationship with me."

From the beginning to the end, Zhong Yan's purpose of disguising his identity was just to protect Anbi and the others. The Creator's attack on the hotel had already confirmed this.

The only people who know Zhong Yan’s identity right now are Victoria Housekeeping, Cunning Rabbit House, and the Phaethon brothers and sisters. These people all have unusual relationships with Zhong Yan, so even if it’s exposed, nothing will happen.

All he has to do now is to try to prevent more people from knowing about this, otherwise he won't be able to maintain his basic daily life.

"Great! This way it's more secure... Everyone knows how powerful the legendary cave thief Uchiha is." When saying the second half of the sentence, Ling lowered her voice to prevent passers-by from hearing what she said.

At this moment, Ling suddenly remembered something, and her expression became a little hesitant. After a long silence, she finally asked slowly: "Zhong Yan... How much do you know about the fall of the old capital?"

Ling's sudden question made Zhong Yan pause for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "I just heard about it. I was still young at that time and had no idea what happened. By the time I realized what was happening, everything I had was swallowed up by Hole Zero."

Zhong Yan did not lie in this statement. When he traveled through time, the game had just been launched and there was very little known information. The fall of the old capital was only mentioned briefly, and the specific reasons and process were not explained at all.

If I must say, the ghost and Kollida's father may be related to the fall of the old capital.

But now, both of them are no longer in this world.
