I had to obtain the clues I wanted from this strange person from afar.
Although that was the case, I actually did not know what form those clues would take. Perhaps this strange person had come across Mazao's tracks in the past two days, or maybe in the future, he could attract Mazao here. All in all, I believed that "Mazao, who is suspected of investigating this strange person," would somehow become involved with the "strange person" in a way that was not yet clear.
For this reason, I had to ensure he stayed alive. Either he would spill the information related to Mazao while alive, or he would stay alive until Mazao was drawn here.
Zhu Shi would surely oppose this. In the worst case, I would have to sever ties with Zhu Shi, or even engage in combat with her. Perhaps I should come up with a solution that could satisfy both cases. Protecting both Zhu Shi's ideals and my own objective. Think quickly…
