Xia Zuo looked at the masked man, and the masked man held the small hand of the silver-haired girl, and the figure gradually moved away from Xia Zuo's sight, and finally disappeared.

He left.

As soon as the masked man left, Xia Zuo suddenly heard a voice behind him, and Xia Zuo couldn't help but turn around and look behind him.

It was Hunter and the others, and after the masked man left, the power of their blocking consciousness dissipated, causing them to gradually regain consciousness.

The first to regain consciousness were Edith, as well as Hunter.

Immediately after Fred and Astron and others, the lighthouse people with spiritual power as the main force.

Finally, there is the acquired soul descendant Griman and the ordinary person Steele.

It is also worth mentioning that most of the scars on their bodies have healed on their own.

With their ability to heal themselves, it stands to reason that they won't heal themselves so quickly, right?

Maybe it's his power at work.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but think of the masked man.

I didn't expect him to help us like this before he left.

At the same time, Xia Zuo also found that he now felt unexpectedly relaxed and had recovered significantly, although his spirit still felt very tired, but it was much better than before, and these should be the credit of the masked man.

Thank you.

Xia Zuo said softly in his heart.

Xia Zuo walked towards Edith and the others, opened his mouth, wanted to say something but stopped again, and instead showed a smile to everyone.

"Everyone, it's over. Xia Zuo said, "It's okay now." ”

"Is it over...... Ithine staggered up from the ground, her vision blurred, and then she was stunned.

"Brother...... What happened?" Edith came back to her senses and came to Natsuzo.

"What about the Fallen?" Edith asked.

"Rescued. Xia Zuo replied, "I heard that it could be the fallen duke." ”

"The Fallen Duke, then it seems that his status in the heart of the Fallen is really not low......" Edith muttered to herself.

"Wait a minute, the fallen duke?" Edith's face changed suddenly, and she reacted.

"That's how he rescued the Fallen?" Edith asked, "how could he just let us go?"

"How so......" Xia Zuo scratched his head, "In a sense, maybe we let him and Andrew go?"

“...... Why do you say that?" said Edith's pretty face, slightly stunned.

"There's a lot going on, I'll explain it to you when we get back. Xia Zuo looked at Hunter and the others who staggered to their feet after regaining consciousness in the back, "And it's not convenient to talk here now." ”

"Everyone needs to go back and get some rest. Xia Zuo said.

“...... Well, since my brother said so. Edith nodded slightly, "Then let's talk about it later." ”

"Haha...... Edith really is my sister. Looking at the obedient and docile Edith in front of him, Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile, gently rubbed Edith's head, and then walked towards Hunter and the others, leaving Edith standing in place in a daze.

He...... You seem to have admitted that I was his sister, right?

Edith came back to her senses, looked at Xia Zuo's back, and thought involuntarily.

How so...... Although it was strange why he suddenly had such a change, he still felt a little happy.

The corners of Edith's mouth lifted slightly, and she smiled softly.

... ...

Xia Zuo came to the others.

"Everyone, do you feel okay now?" Xia Zuo asked with concern, "It's over, let's go back." ”

"End...... That's it? "Anos didn't seem to be in good shape, so he almost fell, but he managed to keep his balance.

After adjusting his state for a while, Arnos, who seemed to be on his feet, looked at Xia Zuo, "How did it end?"

Before Xia Zuo could answer Anos, Anos suddenly shook and fell in the direction of Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo hurriedly caught Anos in time.

"Captain, it's better not to be too forced. Xia Zuo couldn't help but persuade, "I'll explain it to you well when I go back." ”

"Ahem...... That's it. Anos coughed dryly, "Okay then. ”

"Now that it's over, there's no need to stay here for long. ”

"Everyone needs to get some rest. ”

"Staying here may also cause unnecessary commotion. ”

"Let's go back to Locke Street first, Shazo. Arnos said.

Natsuzo looked at the others.

Hunter, who had already regained consciousness, nodded, and some of the others had just woken up, and they didn't think about it or object.

So, Xia Zuo and the others supported each other like this and left the bone burial woodland.

... ...

In the evening, the Locke Street Detective Agency.

The light of the sun was long gone, and the curtain of the dark night slowly fell, enveloping the world below, but soon, the dark night was lit up by Clara's large and small lights, and the darkness could not completely envelop Clara.

Even the curtain of darkness is lit up by lights and stars.

After nightfall, Xia Zuo and the others finally returned to the Rock Street Detective Agency.

Xia Zuo and their movement speed is very slow, after all, there are too many wounded, especially the members of the Sunchaser, although they have also been healed by the power of the masked man, they are still not in good shape, in this case, it will take a lot of time to return to Locke Street without being left behind.

Opening the door, everyone entered the detective agency.

The curtain of darkness to which Xia Zuo belonged, the shadow order and the lighthouse, as well as the day-chaser and others, more than twenty people crowded into the office at once, and the originally wide detective office suddenly seemed very narrow.

But Xia Zuo and they didn't care, after all, it was good to have such a place to rest now.

Like a squad of Sunstriders...... Their homes were demolished by Andrew.

Compared to the Sunchasers, the current office of the Dark Curtain is much better.

As for why they didn't go to the headquarters where the lighthouse is located, it's because their headquarters is far away, and there's no need to go far now.

After entering the office, Xia Zuo and the others each found a place to sit down and rest.

After readjusting their state, everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Zuo on the side.

They were waiting for Xia Zuo to explain the end of the incident.

After all, Xia Zuo was the only one who witnessed the whole event.

"Uh...... I'll just explain it to a little bit. Xia Zuo was a little uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, "After all, I actually feel very confused now." ”

"It's okay Xia Zuo, just explain it to the best of your ability. Senior Hunter gently patted Xia Zuodu on the shoulder and gave Xia Zuo an encouraging look.

Even if I tried my best to explain, I couldn't tell it, because there were still things I couldn't say.

For example, about the masked man who is suspected to be the Sea of Hearts.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

“...... Then I'll start talking. Xia Zuo took a deep breath, "Things probably start with Riley......"

“......”

Xia Zuo roughly explained the situation of this incident to everyone, but about himself and the subspecies of black dragons, how to defeat Lesterley and Andrew, Xia Zuo made modifications.

Modified to a subspecies of Black Dragon, who chose to die with the ghosts, the powerful Soulborns who passed by defeated Lesterley and Andrew, but left without leaving their names.

In fact, Xia Zuo's explanation is not a complete lie.

Although it was indeed himself who defeated Lesterley, Andrew was defeated by the masked man, and the masked man did not leave his name either.

Xia Zuo did not reveal his true strength in this explanation, but only said that he was affected by the Holy Spirit Water in this battle to briefly confront Lesterley, so as to wait for the help of the mysterious person passing by, which was a decision made by Xia Zuo after some thought.

After all, the hidden power in his body is too terrifying, and he can even kill Lesterley, who is a four-winged demon species, until he can fully control this power, it is better not to reveal it easily.

Anyway, no one else has really witnessed the power in me except Edith, so it shouldn't be a problem to hide it here.

"Is all that he said true?" asked Cyril, the captain of the Sunstriders, as he looked at Anos.

"I believe in my players. Anos said lightly.

"Although I didn't get to witness the whole story, what Xia Zuo said was basically in line with what I knew. "That's why I believe in Xia Zuo too." Hunt said to Cyril.

"Since Hunt's predecessors have said so......" Cyril sighed softly, "then I'll take what he says." ”

"However, I'll go back to that place after that and make sure it's confirmed. Cyril emphasized, it seems, that Cyril is a very serious and rigorous person.

"Thank you, if only you could take my word for it. Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief that it was not debunked...... OK.

"Then we'll go first, and I'm sorry to keep bothering you here. Cyril said earnestly and got up at the same time, and at the same time as Cyril got up, the other members of the Sunstrider who had been resting also stood up.

The people of the sun-seekers...... It seemed to be very disciplined and obedient to the captain's commands, and Cyril had not yet spoken, but as soon as he moved, they all stood up with Cyril.

It's really Clara's strongest soul hunting team.

Xia Zuo thought.

"Don't you want to take a break?" Fred asked, smiling, "you're in a mess right now." ”

"I saw it with my own eyes. Fred chuckled, "I advise you not to force it, rest here first, and then go back to clean up the mess when you are in good shape." ”

"Our headquarters...... It's not a blue stall. Hearing this, Cyril frowned, "I'll just go back and fix it later." ”

"Haha...... Pretty much the same. Fred laughed dryly.

"Let's go. Cyril was very activist, and did not say anything to Freddo, said goodbye to the others, and then left the detective agency with the members of the team.

"What about you?" Fred looked at the three of the Shadow Order.

"Now that the matter is over, of course we should go back. "To be honest, this operation was dangerous, but it was really exciting, and I was satisfied." ”

"I look forward to working together again. Astron laughed, and then left the office with the remaining two.

They were followed by the members of the Lighthouse, who also chose to leave.

Hunter said that he still had a lot to do, leaving the detective agency and taking the acquired soul Griman with him.

Gleman, who is an acquired soulborn, is trusted by everyone, but has nowhere to go because he has no job now, so he is taken by Hunter to work as a staff member at the "Night Watch" bar.

In this way, the entire detective agency is left with only the people of the Night Curtain and Edith.

“...... So, let's all have a good rest. Anos glanced at the crowd and said softly, "It's over." ”

"I'll talk about that later. ”

"Hmm. Everyone nodded.

Yes, it's over.

The curtain of darkness fell, but it was lit by the stars and lights.

... ...

Xia Zuo fell asleep.
