Another three days passed.

Clara, Baker City, Norn Street.

It's been a week since the last time Xia Zuo and the others "hunted" the Blood Demon Seed.

It's Monday.

At this time, Xia Zuo was lying on the bed of his new residence on Norn Street, feeling a little bored.

Xia Zuo and Andrew's new house is located on No. 1 Road, Norn Street, with a monthly rent of fifty silver coins, and under the two of them, Xia Zuo needs to pay a monthly rent of thirty-five silver coins, but this amount of money is nothing to Xia Zuo, who now has thirty gold coins like an upstart.

The point is that it's a few minutes away from the detective agency where the Night Veil is located.

It's just that what makes Xia Zuo feel a little bored and depressed is ......

There's nothing to do.

Xia Zuo complained in his heart.

Since the last Blood Demon Seed incident was resolved, there was no ghost in the shadows, and calm began to return to the Baker City side, and Xia Zuo, who was a rookie soul hunter, suddenly felt that he had nothing to do.

Suddenly it's like losing your job.

Obviously I just got a job.

But...... Peace is also good, everyone can live a good life, for us who are guarding in the dark night, shouldn't we be happy?

"But sure enough, it's still a little boring, a little itchy hands. Xia Zuo, who was lying on the bed, muttered to himself.

Xia Zuo, as a rookie of the soul descent who had just obtained two extraordinary abilities, had a powerful power in his hand but had no chance to use it for a while, which made Xia Zuo itch in his heart.

Xia Zuo turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hands of the clock were just at half-past six.

"It's time to get up, or you'll be late for sleep. Thinking of this, Xia Zuo stood up, got up from the bed, and then carefully folded the quilt and made the bed.

The detective office opened at about seven o'clock.

Xia Zuo opened the door to the room and came to the living room, just in time to see Andrew coming out of another room.

The house that Xia Zuo and Andrew shared did not have only one bedroom and one living room like Xia Zuo's previous house, but had two bedrooms and one living room, so Xia Zuo did not have to squeeze into a room with Andrew like last time, and also divided into bunk beds.

"Good morning, Andrew. Xia Zuo greeted Andrew.

"Morning, Natsuzo. Andrew replied with a yawn.

"It's still so early, you, it's so hard. Xia Zuo smiled.

Andrew works in a bar, working longer hours than Xia Zuo, and sometimes has to work night shifts, often when Andrew returns to the house, Xia Zuo almost sleeps, which can be said to be very hard.

"Uh-huh, almost, aren't you pretty early?" Andrew chuckled.

"By the way, I'd suggest you'd better hurry up and go back to your detective office now. Andrew thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"Well, why?" Xia Zuo was a little confused.

Andrew had no reason to urge him to hurry back to the Night Veil, after all, the Night Curtain hadn't had any work lately, and Baker City could be said to be very safe recently.

"Hey, here's the thing. Andrew smiled.

"I met Fred yesterday while working at the bar, and he told me, 'The office has a new commission, so please let Xia Zuo know when you go back and ask him to come early tomorrow'. ”

"What??, there's a new commission?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, and only reacted after a while.

The Locke Street Detective Agency is actually just a disguise for the Night Veil, a soul-hunting team in Clara City.

Therefore, it is said that the detective agency has a new commission, which means that the Night Veil, which is a soul hunting team, has a new mission!

Xia Zuo's eyebrows couldn't help but stretch.

"That's great. Xia Zuo couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly.

After being stuffy for several days, I already felt itchy hands.

"I see. Xia Zuo said, "Ah, Andrew, let me use the bathroom first." ”

"I'm going to wash up and then I'm going to get to the office. ”

"Please. Andrew replied.

"Thank you. Xia Zuo entered the bathroom and closed the door.

... ...

A few minutes later.

Natsuzo walked out refreshed, winking at the sunlight coming in through the window outside.

"I'll go first, goodbye, Andrew. ”

Xia Zuo said goodbye to Andrew, and then went into the room and took the two soul weapons that Uncle Hunter had left for Xia Zuo: a soul revolver with a black rose pattern, and the small and delicate antique soul dagger.

Xia Zuo originally wanted to leave the soul dagger for Andrew's self-defense, and the soul weapon could be used even for ordinary people, as for why he didn't keep the soul revolver, it was because Xia Zuo, as a former hunter, was naturally better at using firearms.

It's okay if Andrew doesn't give him the revolver with a dagger, after all, Andrew has dealt with ghosts with Xia Zuo, and there may still be a residual smell of ghosts on his body, and he may be easily targeted by other ghosts.

But Andrew finally rejected Xia Zuo, saying that Xia Zuo may have to fight with ghosts and monsters a lot in the future, Xia Zuo is more likely to encounter danger, and it is not okay not to leave these weapons, if Xia Zuo accidentally dies or is injured, he will be very troubled.

Under Andrew's persuasion, Xia Zuo left these two soul weapons.

Xia Zuo gathered his gear, then opened the door and rushed to the Dark Curtain at No. 1 Locke Street.

... ...

A few minutes later, Xia Zuo arrived at the door of the detective agency, and the plaque at the door seemed to have been replaced with a sign for business hours.

Natsuzo opened the door and entered the office.

In the office, the members of the Dark Night Curtain have already arrived, and only Xia Zuo is left.

"Yo, it's here, Xia Zuo, it seems that Andrew has a message for you, otherwise you will be a little late. As soon as Xia Zuo entered the office, he heard Fred's teasing voice.

"Haha...... Then I'm not too late, am I?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but scratch his head, and then said, "Good morning, everyone. ”

Everyone also responded to Xia Zuo's words and nodded.

Xia Zuo glanced around, intending to find a place to sit down, but saw that there happened to be a vacant seat on Ian's side, so Xia Zuo sat next to Ian.

Ian couldn't help but smile at Natsuzo, then looked at Fred and Captain Anos.

"Now that everyone is here, let's talk about this commission and events. Fred smiled lightly.

"This is a commission I received from Viscount Saxophone. ”

"Viscount Saxophone was a well-known knightly nobleman in the neighborhood, and had many sturdy horses. ”

Viscount Saxophone said that his beloved horse had been missing many times recently, and Viscount Saxophone originally thought that some daring thief coveted his good horse, so he came to steal it many times. ”

So Viscount Sachs ordered the soldiers to be heavily guarded in order to catch the thieves. ”

But for several days the soldiers failed to catch the thief, not even a single clue about the horse thief. ”

"Instead, the stables were further vandalized by thieves, and the horses disappeared one after another, and the missing horses were even better than the other. ”

"Viscount Sachs is a smart man, and he is one of the high-ranking human beings who is aware of the existence of our soul descendants and other soul creatures, and he believes that under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful this thief is, it is impossible not to leave a clue at all. ”

"Unless...... This thief is related to soul creatures. ”

"After all, soul creatures are completely different from ordinary creatures, they can actively contact ordinary substances, but they can not be touched by ordinary substances, so they can do not leave any clues. ”

"Judging by the extent of the destruction of the stables, it is clear that this thief is no ordinary creature. ”

"So Viscount Saxophone decided to entrust us with the Night Curtain to find this thief, and entrusted a bounty of one first-class horse, five hundred Atlanta gold coins, and three treasures from Viscount Saxophone's treasury, but the premise of taking the treasure is that we must catch this thief completely and hand this thief over to Viscount Saxophone for disposal. ”

"It's a good commission, and the rewards are okay. Fred laughed.

"It's just that it may not be so easy to solve. ”

"In my experience...... Well, I already have an answer in my heart, what about you?"

"Hmm. The captain bowed slightly.

"Guessed. Elsa smiled softly.

"I guess that'......," Ian said.

Jasmine nodded lightly and did not speak.

As for Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo, as a newcomer, is naturally confused at the moment.

I have no idea what everyone is talking about.

"Yes, it's supposed to be a ghostly beast. Fred smiled.

Everyone bowed their heads.

"Phantom beasts?" Xia Zuo remembered that Fred had mentioned phantom beasts before, and in recent days, Xia Zuo has also learned some knowledge about phantom beasts from books, phantom beasts and ghosts are called ghosts, and they are both soul creatures.

For example, the captain's crow named Borg is a phantom beast.

With regard to ghosts and ghosts, although ghosts are the same creatures as ghosts, ghosts tend not to attack humans like ghosts, but are interested in preying on their own kind, that is, the goal of ghosts is usually to prey on ghosts, or to prey on ghosts, just like real beasts, but they are not interested in people.

The IQ of phantom beasts is generally relatively low, and the average intelligence may be worse than that of ghosts, but this does not mean that phantom beasts do not have high intelligence, for example, the captain's assistant Borg is a high-intelligence phantom beast, but the number of high-intelligence may be less than that of ghosts.

In addition, Xia Zuo also learned that there is a standard classification among soul creatures.

The classification of soul creatures can be divided into three major types.

For example, ghosts are classified as humanoid soul creatures, because ghosts are similar to humanoids.

Spectre beasts, on the other hand, are beast-like soul creatures because they are closer to beasts in appearance.

There is also the last type of soul creature......

God-like.

God-like soul creatures.

These soul creatures, even for the Soul Descendants who are constantly in contact with all kinds of mysterious things, are almost exclusively legends, they are powerful, like gods, or they are real gods!

Back to the crowd talk.

"Phantom beasts tend to be interested in their own kind and like to prey on beasts, so this incident is a phantom beast theft incident?" Xia Zuo asked.

"Yes, besides, it's not so much a stealing as a predation incident. ”

"I'm wondering what kind of beast likes to hunt horses. Fred picked up a cup of coffee on the table and took a sip.

"Wait...... I seem to know what kind of ghost beast it will be. Xia Zuo thought for a moment and said suddenly.

Recently, Xia Zuo has been supplementing the knowledge of the Evil Soul Descendant World, and happened to see some information about phantom beasts, which may not be remembered by Fred for a while, after all, they are too wide-ranging.

"I happened to see some information recently, there is a kind of ghostly beast, it has the body of a lion and sharp claws, the head and wings of an eagle, has a peculiar attachment to horses, often preys on horses, is the natural enemy of horses. ”

"It's a fantasy creature of human legend......"

"Griffons. ”
