[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Only then did she see the appearance of the person.The man looked to be in his early 20s, wearing an expensive and tall black suit, with silvery hair scattered on his forehead, and a pair of cold blue eyes under the hair, looking down at her.

"I'll take you home, sister—sister."

"Lucas..."

Zoe's eyes widened in disbelief, this was probably the most shocking experience she's had since becoming a zombie.

Reminiscing about the old days

Not seen in many years, Lucas has grown into a wonderful adult.

Or at least it seems so on the surface.

If you ignore his obvious dark circles and lack of sleep.

After "going home" with Lucas, she discovered that Lucas had inherited the Corleone family's property. personal.It was an amazing feat for him at such a young age, anyway Zoe thought so.

What bothered her was that, unlike her joy, her younger brother didn't seem happy to see her, and he hadn't said a word to her since the meeting.At the moment, Zoe is sitting in Lucas' "office" (it's an office, but it's more like a living room) listening to his subordinates report on their work.Seeing his younger brother who used to stay in the room and play games seriously, Zoe didn't know whether to feel relieved or sad.

"Boss, the Nostra family's prophecy request has been sent," a person said, "but they seem to be unable to contact Miss Nion for the time being. It is said that she is on vacation and can only wait for the last week of August to deal with it."

"It doesn't matter." Lucas said coldly, "As long as the prophecy on September [-]st is included, the rest doesn't matter."

"The latest news from ten old men." Another person said, "I hope to confirm Zoe Corleone's location information as soon as possible."

Zoe Corleone?Isn't that her?

Zooey looked at Lucas, just in time to meet that cold gaze.

Did the old man send Lucas to catch her?Are you going to hand her over?

Zooey reflected for a moment.At present, no one except Pallistone should know that she can manipulate memory.No, if you think about it carefully, there is also the elder of the East District.Meteor Street and the underworld have always cooperated, and it is not impossible to disclose the news to ten old men under suitable conditions.

"Tell them that they are being tracked down." Lucas said lightly.

"Yes."

After the last thing was dealt with, everyone else left the room under Lucas's order.He rubbed the space between his brows, sighed and leaned back on his chair.

"You should get some rest," Zoe said.

However, she only got one eye shot.

"You should be glad I didn't lock you up directly."

Zooey was a little angry, but knew that she had no reason to lose her temper with Lucas.He was right, if it wasn't for her, things wouldn't be like this.Zooey walked to Lucas and reached out to comfort him, but he avoided it.

"……Do not touch me."

Zooey withdrew her hand.

"Lucas, it's time for you to go to rest." Seeing Lucas start to process the documents on the table again, Zoe said.

"Having disappeared for more than ten years, isn't it a bit late to start playing house games now?" Lucas said with a chuckle, "In the end, it's right under our noses. There must be a limit to playing people, right?"

Well, at least he was willing to talk.Zooey thought positively.

"I thought you didn't want to see me."

"That's what I say, right?"

"Now you see me."

Lucas suddenly put down his pen with a snap.With his arms folded, he leaned back in the chair and squinted at Zoe.Except for the color of her hair and eyes, she hasn't changed at all.He looked like a teenager.

"You really haven't changed at all," Lucas said slowly. "It's annoying."

"You've changed a lot." Zooey also said, imitating Lucas's tone, "but you're still so cute."

"Cute ass." Lucas said cursingly, wrinkling his nose, "I'm much better than you now."

"Well, this kind of place is very cute." Zoe said with a smile.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot, and finally Lucas no longer had a sullen face.He sighed and motioned for Zooey to sit down, so Zooey sat in the chair next to him.

"...I heard about Uncle Arthur." He said, with an unspeakable tiredness on his face, "It was later found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was the elder of the East District on Meteor Street, but it has been a long time since I found out. "

Lucas lowered his head and continued: "Ten years ago, he lied to Uncle Arthur and mixed a virus into the gift to our family... If I hadn't secretly changed the package, I would have been poisoned."

"I've been looking for you," he said, "…I'm sorry."

"why apologize?"

"I failed...to protect you."

"Can you protect me if you are infected by the virus?"

"No, I mean—"

"Lucas." Zooey muttered helplessly, "You don't need to apologize. As you can see, I am sitting in front of you in a relatively sane manner, although I dare not say that it is the real Zoe Corleone , but I believe a part of her remains in this body."

"Part of it?"

"This is a bit troublesome to explain. It's like we often say that humans are controlled by gut flora. Well, anyway, be careful what you eat."

"what?"

"Healthy eating is still important."

"what are you talking about……"

"Anyway, let's go to rest, and we'll talk about it after you sleep well?" Zooey said with a smile.

"Will you still be there when I wake up?"

"I will," Zoe said, "as long as you don't send me away."

Say so.But after Lucas went to rest, Zoe still walked out of the stronghold of the Corleone family. She had to close the bookstore and pack up her things.After all, although she doesn't really care if someone steals the book, she still can't see it if the door is kept open.Should it be put on the temporary closure sign?Thinking about it, Zooey turned the corner and saw someone standing in front of the store.

It was the blond baby face from before.

Seeing Zooey coming back, the man greeted her with a smile.

"You're finally back? I thought your store was going to implement self-checkout."

"I don't have any plans yet." Zooey said, "But I will keep your suggestion in mind."

"After I came, a few people came to buy books. I will collect the money for you and put it in the drawer of the cash register."

"Huh?" Zooey was a little surprised, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," those green eyes narrowed in satisfaction, "it's just a matter of lifting your hands, Zoe."

Zooey was a little surprised why he knew his name for a while.But maybe he saw her business card somewhere at the cash register.

"Well, I guess you're here to honor the coffee offer?" Zooey smiled, "To be honest, I thought you were just joking."

After hearing this sentence, the other party seemed to look at her with some resentment. Did she say something wrong?

"You really don't remember who I am..." Babyface muttered.

Zoe was stunned for a moment, could it be someone she knew in the past?She just wanted to use her ability to probe the other party's past about herself, but she was stopped.

"Wait, don't use that ability."

Zooey immediately became vigilant.Someone who knows her abilities?Could it be Pariston's accomplice?

"It's me, Knight." Babyface said before Zooey made the next move, "It seems a little late for coffee now, why don't we have dinner! I treat you, how about it?"

Seeing the shock and surprise on Zooey's face, the knight's smile became even brighter.

Virtual reality

have dinner?

Zooey almost laughed out loud.She didn't know if the knight was joking, but if the person in front of him was really a knight, then it was impossible for him not to know that these two things were impossible for Zoe to do.Unless he was talking about dinner in another sense.

Zooey locked the door of the bookstore and put up a closed sign.Standing at the door and looking twice, he said to the knight, "You said you want to invite me to dinner?"

"Eh, I thought you were hungry."

Indeed, Zooey glanced at Xia Ke's innocent smile, and he spoke as if he had completely forgotten what had happened before.Yes, it's been so long.

But if he wanted to pretend to forget, he shouldn't have come to say hello to her, and he shouldn't have revealed his identity.If he doesn't say anything, she can pretend not to notice.But of course he will remind her that he is a knight after all.

"Okay then." Zooey said, "Just take it as a reminiscence, come to my house for a while."

"Wow, is it really possible?" Xia Ke looked surprised, "Is the progress a little too fast?"

Zooey smiled: "Didn't you have something to do with me? Or can your business be done on the street? Doesn't it matter in public?"

"When did I say that?" Xia Ke asked with interest.

"If it's okay, you won't wait for me at the door." Zooey said softly.

The knight looked at her quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, then go to your house."

Zooey didn't expect that she would really meet the knight again one day.She didn't expect that she could sit down and chat so calmly after seeing this man who she used to treat as a younger brother but killed Arthur.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Inexplicably, Zooey remembered a sentence Pariston said a long time ago.

"You have someone to hate."

Is the person she hates a knight?
