[Comprehensive British and American Star Wars] Grow in rot

When Zemo found Ben, the other party was complaining about the inhumanity and stupid education of the First Order with a group of members of the Rebel Army. When he saw Zemo, he waved to Zemo excitedly.

"Hey!" He said, Zemo walked over and was warmly welcomed by the rebels—of course, Poe Dameron started, and he was also in the group.

"You alone?" Ben asked, and Zemo knew he meant where Kylo Ren had gone.

"He talked to his parents," Zemo said. "Where's Rey?"

"Rey and a group of girls went over there." Ben pointed in an unknown direction, "They seem to be planning to have a barbecue at night."

"I feel very happy." Zemo said, "How about you, sit and chat here?"

"They are going to have a deep understanding of the enemy's situation." Ben Chao Zemo blinked, "You know, I have first-hand resources."

Zemo smiled.

"I'm going to find Rey." Zemo said, "You guys continue to chat."

"Oh, let's chat together! They are interested in your force!" Zemo shook his head and refused.Ray and the other girls were indeed preparing firewood for the barbecue, and some were carrying food.

"Looks like you guys are going to have a big celebration," Zemo said, helping Rey unload the firewood from him.

"They said we saved the New Republic, and it was worth celebrating, and General Leia also acquiesced." Rey smiled at Zemo, showing his small canine teeth, "I've never eaten barbecue before."

"You won't be disappointed," Zemo said, "as long as you don't burn things."

"You have experience?" Rey asked, and she and Zemo went to the firewood storage together again.

"Horrible experience," Zemo said. "I ruined a big brisket and Maria gave me a beating. I didn't have any beer that night."

"Who's Maria?" Rey asked.

Zemo felt a strange pain in his heart, but it was not unbearable. "My wife," Zemo said, "she's gone."

"Oh," Ray said, "I never knew that, sorry."

"It's okay, she's been gone for a while." Zemo said, "The pain is not as strong as it was at first."

"Oh," Rey said, "Then do you have any plans for the future?"

"What about you?"

"I guess I'll join the Rebels. General Leia said she'd try to find her brother Luke Skywalker to teach me. It feels like a dream."

Zemo thought for a while: "I don't know, I guess I will follow Kylo Ren."

"Why?" Ray asked.

"Watching him to keep him from falling to the dark side again? Or just trying to save myself," Zemo said.

"Do you like him?" Ray asked.

Zemo frowned. "I'm not sure," he said, "I think I can try."

"So you don't like him." Rey said.

"Not wrong," Zemo said, "I'm not in love with him yet, but I don't feel the same way about anyone else."

"So you don't like anyone?" Rey said.

"I haven't felt any emotions since my family members died. It's a mental issue that needs to be treated in my hometown," Zemo said. "But obviously, with you, with you, Ben, and Kylo Ren. Being with other people like that made me better. So I can’t feel emotions, it doesn’t mean I can’t love other people. I’m trying.”

"Sounds a bit complicated," Rey said, "So when you were with us before, you had no feelings at all?"

"You're making me look like a monster," Zemo said, "but yes."

"Then you pretended really well." Rey said, "But you're getting better now, right?"

"Yes, it seems like any mental patient." Zemo smiled, "Thank you, I am very glad that the people who accompany me are so kind and warm."

"You are not a mental patient." Rey said, she hugged Zemo, "It sounds like you are just too sad to recover." She threw a large bundle of firewood beside Zemo: "Now let Let's prepare a BBQ party together."

When the sky just darkened, Kylo Ren found Zemo by a bonfire, and Zemo returned to the base with him.

"Talk to your parents?" Zemo asked.

"Yeah." Kylo Ren nodded.

"How about it?"

"It's nothing," Kylo Ren said, now he's put on well-fitting clothes, gray everyday clothes, and he doesn't seem to have any sense of oppression in the first order. "I told them I would leave the Rebels after I killed Snoke."

"Where are you going?" Zemo asked.

"I don't know, anywhere." Kylo Ren said, "Be a space pirate, a repairman, a radar technician, or a smuggler."

"It doesn't quite match your previous ideal of ruling the galaxy."

"That ideal comes from the dark side," Kylo Ren said, "I don't like that."

"So you're coming with me?" Kylo Ren asked.

"Okay." Zemo said, "Killing Snoke and retiring to the universe sounds like a good fit for me."

"You don't have to do this," Kylo Ren said.

"I didn't decide to go with you because I wanted to monitor you from being eroded by the dark side." Zemo immediately guessed what Kylo Ren was thinking. "Or, not all, I want to love you, I'm trying. If I'm not with you, can I still communicate with you through the air?"

Then he realized the hole in his words.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that we can't communicate. But relying on such an unreliable connection with the Force is definitely not enough."

"I'm unstable." Kylo Ren said, "I may fall back into the dark side at any time, I can't stay in the rebel army."

"I know." Zemo said.

"If that time comes," Kylo Ren said, "you can call me Ben."

"Of course," Zemo said, "I'm not worried about calling the wrong person."

"My mother said she was going to send someone to find Luke Skywalker." Kylo Ren said.

"Are you going?" Zemo asked.

"I won't go, I'm afraid I can't help but kill him."

"But I have to go," Zemo said. "I have to let him teach me."

Kylo Ren frowned.

"You can ask him what happened that year, and then leave."

"You know what happened back then, you saw it." Kylo Ren said.Zemo felt his anger return.

"Before reaching Starkiller Base," Zemo said, "I saw a prophecy, a scene where you were dueling me with a sword."
