Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 15 The Curtain of the Night
Baker City, Rock Street.
In this detective agency on Rock Street, everyone is going about their own thing, waiting for new news.
Captain Anos, dressed in a black trench coat, was holding a poetry book in his hand, reading quietly, and beside Anos was a strange pure black crow named Borg resting quietly.
Elsa, who was beside Anos, was smiling and listening to the beautiful melody on the radio.
Ian leaned quietly in the corner, not knowing what he was doing, like a shadow in the corner of the room, still lacking a sense of presence as usual.
Only one person didn't seem quite the same as usual.
It was a petite girl wearing a hood and a black trench coat, and she was staring at the potion shelf on the table in front of her, the transparent test tube containing the potion reflected a faint light, and the girl seemed to be in a daze.
None other than "Jasmine Venatasha".
"Squeak. At that moment, there was a sound at the door, and suddenly the door opened.
The members of the Night Veil all involuntarily turned their gaze to the door.
Only Jasmine, who was hidden deep in the hood of the black coat, frowned slightly and did not move.
I saw Fred walking in with a black top hat and black clothes, and Xia Zuo, who looked a little nervous next to Fred.
It's finally here...... A little nervous.
Xia Zuo thought to himself, and quickly looked around the office, which was more spacious than Xia Zuo had imagined, with chairs for customers on one side, and a round table with a radius of about one meter on the other side, surrounded by seats, on which sat members of the Night Veil.
Xia Zuo glanced at it, but finally his gaze suddenly froze, and he stopped on the girl who was hidden deep in the hood of the black clothes.
As if sensing Xia Zuo's gaze, the girl's head tilted slightly, as if she was about to turn to Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
"I'm back. Fred smiled at the team's gaze, "Well, this is the funny lucky boy I mentioned." ”
"Uh......" Xia Zuo suddenly became more nervous and stood up straight.
Ah, hey, come Fred, do you want to be so direct! Is it really okay to just introduce it like that?
Fred smiled slyly, ignoring Nazzo's nervousness, and returned to where he was sitting.
Captain Anos couldn't help but take a closer look at Xia Zuo: about 1.75 meters tall, delicate, young, nervous but not too flustered, looking a little immature and at the same time having a certain sense of maturity.
"Sit down. After looking at Xia Zuo for a while, Anos nodded slightly, signaling Xia Zuo to relax.
Xia Zuo then found a place where no one sat and sat down.
Xia Zuo looked at Anos beside him, Anos had black hair, a cold appearance, a calm temperament, dark and brown eyes seemed to contain a stunning light, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
This should be the captain...... The temperament is good and stable...... There is still a little cold...... It feels like an emotionless killer...... Anyway, is it really good for you to let a "killer" play the detective? It won't scare the guests away? Xia Zuo complained in his heart to relieve his nervousness.
Wait, the crow!
Xia Zuo noticed that the crow resting next to Anos, whether it was the color or size, as well as the human-like demeanor and movements, it was obviously exactly the same as the one Xia Zuo had seen before.
If there is a difference, it is that the crow's breath is stronger now.
Come to think of it, I was attacked by ghosts not long after I saw this crow, and Fred arrived in time to save me, and this crow belonged to the Curtain of Night.
The answer is already obvious.
It seems that this crow must be the helper of the Night Veil...... I don't know what kind of creature it is, but it must have stayed with me to look for clues to the ghost......
"Don't be too nervous, Captain is the way he is. A voice came and said to Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo looked over, and he saw a beautiful mature woman with beautiful long blond hair smiling in front of him.
It was the team's "psychiatrist", Elsa Tasia.
"Ah yes, I'm fine. Xia Zuo nodded hurriedly.
"Hello newcomer. A voice suddenly sounded from behind Xia Zuo, and the ghostly shadow Ian suddenly appeared behind Xia Zuo, and immediately scared Xia Zuo, who had calmed down a little, so much that he almost jumped up.
What the hell? Walk without a sound? Is it a human or a ghost?
Xia Zuo turned his head and saw a pure black figure.
The young man dressed in black, with black hair and black eyes, was quietly looking at Xia Zuo at this time.
The young man had an ordinary appearance, but he had a pair of black eyes that were as moving as a starry night, and the young man stood there quietly, but it seemed to merge with the shadow in the corner, which made people feel a certain sense of illusion.
Oh oh oh! It feels like something is wrong, but it's a good thing.
“......”
Ian froze, then chuckled.
"Scared, it's okay, just get used to it, after all, my presence is too low......" Ian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Okay. Xia Zuo nodded hurriedly.
This person is elusive, and as a teammate, it's best not to offend...... I don't know who did it when I get caught......
Ian certainly didn't know what Xia Zuo was thinking impolitely at this time...... Otherwise, he would definitely choose to give Xia Zuo an elbow on the spot......
Although the people in the team have their own personalities, they basically greeted Xia Zuo, except for Jasmine, of course.
"Now let's introduce ourselves. Fred looked around for a moment, then smiled and spoke.
Fred looked at Anos, who nodded slightly, newcomers really need to be introduced to the team.
Anos stood up, and the crow Borg on the side glanced at Xia Zuo, but did not say anything.
"My name is Anos Adrien, Captain of Clara's Soul Hunter Squad: Night Veil, and I am a Soul Hunter by profession. ”
"As for the crow next to me, his name is 'Borg', and it's my important assistant. ”
Sure enough, this crow is really not an ordinary pet.
"Welcome to the Dark Veil, newcomer. ”
Anos held out a hand towards Nazzo, who reacted and shook his hand.
"I hope you can adapt here and become a full member sooner. Anos smiled faintly.
"The unofficial temporary members only have a one-year probationary period, boy, and I hope you can cheer it up. Fred took Anos's words and looked at Xia Zuo with a smile on his face.
Xia Zuo suddenly seemed to feel a chill...... This Fred, I always feel like he's treating me like a fun toy now......
Be careful...... Be careful...... Xia Zuo emphasized repeatedly in his heart.
"I was in too much of a hurry to introduce myself, but now I'll reintroduce myself. Fred withdrew his gaze and smiled softly.
"My name is Fred Tanagus, the vice-captain of the Night Veil, and I am also a soul hunter by profession, and my soul bloodline is sapphire. ”
Hey, it turns out that Fred is still the vice captain of this soul hunting team, and suddenly feels that his career may be over, is it really good to let such a casual person be the vice captain?
Xia Zuo sighed in his heart.
In addition, Fred's soul bloodline level is a bit high, this is already the fourth highest bloodline level, three levels higher than me...... No wonder Fred is so powerful...... You can also become a vice-captain......
I just don't know what Jasmine's bloodline level is...... Maybe she won't introduce this either...... After all, the captain didn't say his bloodline level just now.
Xia Zuo: He was a little curious.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but glance at Jasmine quietly, and then withdrew his gaze without a trace.
Seeing that Fred finished his introduction, Elsa also got up gracefully, with a faint smile on her face, beautiful and moving.
"Elsa Tasia, an ordinary member of the Night Veil, is a 'psychiatrist' by profession. ”
"'Psychiatrist'? What kind of profession is this? Soul Descendants also need psychotherapy...... Aren't we the ones who make others need psychotherapy? After all, all kinds of supernormal abilities are enough to make people feel that they have psychological problems, or psychological shadows.
"In fact, it is a profession with strong enough mental power, which can affect the psychology of the soul descendant to a certain extent and help the soul descendant adjust his psychological state. Elsa seemed to see Xia Zuo's doubts, and then smiled softly, like a spring breeze, Xia Zuo felt a burst of warmth in his heart.
"Feel it, right?" Elsa said with a smile, "This is the ability of the 'psychiatrist', the psychiatrist has special spiritual powers beyond the ordinary soul descendants, can sense the emotions of the soul descendants, soothe the soul of the soul descendants, and heal the spirit of the soul descendants. ”
"But why do the Soul Spawns need psychotherapy?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you know? After all, the Soulborns are a race that goes hand in hand with danger and madness. ”
"The power of the soul descendant comes from the soul in the body, and the soul is not absolutely safe. ”
"Soul essence has titles such as 'soul matter' and 'ghost substance', and it can be seen from here that soul quality has an impact on the spirit of the soul descendant. ”
"As the Soul Descend develops its use of the Soul Seed, the more likely it is that the Soul Seed will erode the Soul Descend's body and spirit, leading to the collapse of the Soul Descend......"
"That's why the Soul Spawn needs the power of a psychiatrist, do you understand now?"
I see...... This Fred ...... TM didn't tell me that!
Xia Zuo looked at Fred with a hippie smile on the side and squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Forget it, I've already developed and used the soul quality, and now I know what the use of these things is...... Take things as they come...... Let's talk about it as it sees.
"Understood, thank you. Xia Zuo adjusted his mood, and then nodded slightly.
In this way, Jasmine is the only official member of the Night Veil who has not yet been introduced.
Jasmine, hidden deep in the hood of her black coat, stood up gently.
"Jasmine Venatasha, 'Elixir Master'. Jasmine said lightly, and then sat back in her seat.
Huh...... Is it so cold?
