"Supreme command authority? What does that mean?" Xiong Zhi asked, confused.
"Um... to put it simply, it means your body will be controlled by me, which allows for maximum precision," Zero explained.
"Is that possible?" Xiong Zhi inquired.
Xiong Zhi felt reassured, not worried that Zero would put him in a disadvantageous situation. In reality, if Zero wanted to harm Xiong Zhi, he could simply increase resource consumption until Xiong Zhi was exhausted.
When Xiong Zhi was still Ziyu, a fundamental and irreversible principle was established when creating Zero: he could not do anything harmful to Ziyu.
Although Ziyu had now become Xiong Zhi, Zero understood the situation, so the basic principle still applied to the current Xiong Zhi.
A program is a program; it is easy to impose restrictions on behavior.
Even though Ziyu had watched many movies about robot rebellions while on Earth... and there were instances where intelligent systems bypassed basic commands for special reasons, Ziyu was confident that his design of Zero's main program was perfect. In other words, Ziyu did not believe Zero would do anything to harm himself.
"Sir, with my computational ability, I can determine the best course of action in an instant, allowing us to win battles... and I believe that controlling your body would also allow for better adjustments to minor changes."
Xiong Zhi pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Will my consciousness still be normal?" Xiong Zhi asked. After all, he had no experience; what if Zero controlled his body and his consciousness fell into a sleep like before with Zero? That would be troublesome—waking up without knowing what had happened.
"Theoretically, it is feasible; your consciousness will remain awake... essentially, we are just switching our positions."
"Well, let's talk about it later..."
"That thief really is unfortunate... but at least it's just a thief," Xiong Zhi thought. "What if it had been an assassin? That would have been troublesome... but I haven't offended anyone..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night returned to silence, and after a while, Xiong Zhi fell asleep.
The next day, early morning.
"Clear the way, quickly clear the way!" There was a commotion downstairs, and Xiaoyaozi and Xiong Zhi went out to take a look.
"It's the Yamen officials; their news travels fast," Xiong Zhi said.
"It must have been reported by the inn..." Xiaoyaozi's expression remained unchanged; he had experienced too much of this. "The innkeeper wouldn't dare to hide such things; otherwise, the inn would also be guilty. It's understandable."
The Yamen officials climbed the stairs and opened all the doors.
"Whose room is this?" The officials approached Xiong Zhi's room, where there was a sword mark on one wall and faint bloodstains, while the other wall had a large hole.
If it had been made by the previous occupant, the inn would have certainly repaired it, so this mark must have been made recently, indicating that a clear fight had occurred here.
The officials were not fools; they knew how to deduce things.
"I live here," Xiong Zhi waved his hand.
In truth, Xiong Zhi appeared indifferent, but deep down he was somewhat nervous... How could he not be anxious with the police coming after having killed someone?
"Did you do what happened last night? Did you kill that thief?" one of the officials asked.
"Yes, it was me," Xiong Zhi glanced at Xiaoyaozi, who gave him a reassuring look.
"Come with us."
Xiong Zhi was taken by the officials to the Yamen and then knelt in front of the main hall.
"You tell me, what is going on?" The Ninth Rank Minor Judge sat above, wearing a condescending expression.
"That person is a thief; I was just acting with justice," Xiong Zhi replied calmly.
"Just because he is a thief, you can kill him? Was he going to kill you?" the Judge asked again.
Xiong Zhi did not respond. Although it was only a few short sentences, he felt that this Judge was a rogue... It seemed like he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Don't go too far; just let my disciple go," Xiaoyaozi leaned against the doorpost, holding a sword in one hand while casually fiddling with the sword tassel with the other.
"And who are you?" The Judge saw that Xiaoyaozi showed no respect and couldn't help but feel resentment.
"You, as an official, should be more magnanimous..." Xiaoyaozi completely disregarded the Judge. If it came to it, he could just kill him and erase the traces.
Having been an assassin for so many years, Xiaoyaozi had seen all kinds of situations. Although he appeared delicate, he would not yield to anyone in his heart. This was not just something a man should possess; it was also essential for an assassin!
Xiaoyaozi took a few steps forward and drew his sword, pointing it at the Judge.
"You have two choices: either let him go and let him leave, or I will kill you and then let him go," Xiaoyaozi said, turning the sword tip to point at everyone nearby.
The Judge sensed the man's ferocity and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Alright, it seems you don't want to let us go..." Xiaoyaozi's gaze suddenly became sharp as he advanced with his sword, the tip almost touching the Judge's forehead.
"Don't!! Don't! You all leave!" The Judge was frightened. The nearby officials saw how aggressive Xiaoyaozi was and didn't dare to approach; they surrounded him with weapons but were hesitant to take any action.
"Hmph..." Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly, sheathed his sword, then pulled Xiong Zhi along and walked out without looking back.
Xiaoyaozi hated the most were those who feared death. If they were outside and no one was watching, Xiaoyaozi would definitely kill him with a single sword strike. However, Xiaoyaozi did not want to cause too much trouble, as it would bring no benefits.
"Everyone, attack! Kill these two!" The harsh voice of the Judge rang out again.
"Speechless..." Xiong Zhi began to mourn for the Judge.
Xiaoyaozi's gaze turned sharp once more, and the sword in his hand transformed into a silver flash, sweeping through the encircling Officials. In an instant, the Officials were sent flying, their throats ruptured. Some were even cut in half.
"Gulp..." The Judge, who had wanted to say something to assert his authority, suddenly found himself at a loss for words and could only swallow hard.
"You are really boring," Xiaoyaozi remarked.
"Master, should we kill them all?" Xiong Zhi asked.
"Of course, if we don't kill them, there will be more trouble."
Indeed, in this era, there was no surveillance or satellite tracking; killing them all would be much safer.
After all, those who lived would leak information... Eventually, the two might end up being wanted.
A minor judge was not a big deal, but challenging the authority of the court could attract some meddlesome individuals who thrived on chaos and might issue a warrant for their arrest.
"Then there's no need for Master to take action; I can handle it," Xiong Zhi said eagerly.
Having been in this world for quite some time—longer than he had spent on modern Earth—Xiong Zhi had become influenced by this world and was not very resistant to killing. Moreover, he had a ruthless killer master.
Xiaoyaozi handed a sword to Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi was brought over, naturally without a sword.
Xiong Zhi took the sword and instantly accelerated towards Judge.
There were originally not many people in this hall, and just now Xiaoyaozi's sweep had eliminated most of them, leaving only a few who could be killed by Xiong Zhi.
"Zero, let's give it a try!" Xiong Zhi said excitedly.
"Uh... Sir, your soul strength is enough for me to operate, but it doesn't support exchange yet... At least I need to be able to operate fully first..."
"You should have said that earlier; I'll handle it myself." Xiong Zhi drew the sword, muscles tensing, the blade slicing through the air with a whistling sound.
An Official swung a large knife, aiming to cut Xiong Zhi in half!
"Die!" Xiong Zhi turned towards the large blade of Judge, meeting it with his own sword. Then he quickly retracted the sword and thrust it forward, piercing into the body of the Official.
"Alright handsome, you can go die now." Xiong Zhi's ferocity made the Officials hesitate to approach; who would want to seek death? Xiong Zhi walked up to Judge, saying calmly.
