Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 59 Hunter Bryan
In the evening, the "Night Watch" bar.
As the sun sets, the sky darkens, and the glow of the sunset envelops the land, revealing its last brilliant splendor of the day.
As the sky darkened, the special kerosene lamps of the "Night Watch" bar began to be lit one after another, and these kerosene lamps were brighter than usual, making the bar appear to shine in the dark sky at this time.
Like a bright jewel set in the dark curtain of the night.
Xia Zuo and the others followed behind Fred, looking at the "Night Watchman" bar that began to light up many lights, Xia Zuo felt an inexplicable shock and peace of mind in his heart.
Night's watchman...... I really feel that way.
Speaking of which...... Fred says that this is actually our Soulborn's bar, so does that mean that each Soulborn is actually a Night's Watch in the dark......
As a lamp under the dark night, it sticks to the night, beating the flame of life until the long night passes, until the light of the morning light illuminates the world again.
...... It feels so good.
Xia Zuo and Jasmine were soon led by Fred to a room in a bar.
The door of the room was guarded by no one, but the door was closed and seemed to be locked, and on one side of the door, there was a special quadrangle that seemed to be operated by machinery, I don't know if it was used as decoration or what, and on the top of the door hung a sign that read "Do not disturb idlers" to remind passers-by.
Fred, however, stepped forward in surprise and turned the doorknob at will.
Xia Zuo could feel it, and Xia Zuo's keen spiritual power told him that the moment Fred turned the doorknob just now, Fred should have used his soul energy.
I see...... Xia Zuo suddenly realized.
This door should imply some kind of soul-descended technology, and it takes the power of the soul-descend to open this door.
Worthy of a former soul hunter.
Really nice design...... In this way, the door will not only effectively keep curious ordinary people and other well-intentioned thieves at bay, but also ensure that the person who enters the room will not be an outsider, but a fellow - that is, a soulborn.
"This door was specially made by our Soul Descendants' craftsmen, it doesn't actually have a key, and the reason why it exists is because we can open it by injecting a certain frequency and size of soul energy into the keyhole, that is, a password or something. Fred smiled and explained to Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but nodded.
I didn't expect this door to have such a function...... This is something I didn't guess just now, in this case, even if the person who came to this door is a soul descendant, without knowing the password, he can't easily open this door, and can only force his way in.
And a hard break will definitely attract the attention of the insider...... This door is a really good design.
Interesting.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
But then again...... Fred knows the code to open the door, and it seems that he has a good relationship with the bar owner.
This guy is really popular, and he can have friends everywhere.
Without further explanation, Fred smiled, then opened the door and walked in first.
Later, Xia Zuo and Jasmine followed.
... ...
Inside the door.
A middle-aged man dressed simply, but still well-dressed, is sitting at the desk, the middle-aged man's body looks very strong, and the height of nearly 1.8 meters makes the middle-aged man look extremely powerful and intimidating.
The middle-aged man does not see a single gray hair in his hair, his hair is neat and meticulously combed.
The eyes of the middle-aged man are the common black and brown, the eyes are calm and a little serious, and the eyes reveal a certain wisdom light, just look at this pair of eyes, you can see that the middle-aged man is a very mature and reliable man, who seems to have gone through the vicissitudes of the world.
Hunter Bryan.
This is the name of the middle-aged man in front of him, he is what Fred said before about the retired soul hunter.
Former Soul Hunter Master, once the captain of Clara's soul hunting team "Musket", one of Clara's most famous Soul Descendants, could have been a noble guest but abandoned the glory and wealth just as a bar owner who served all kinds of guests, especially Soul Descendants......
Hunter Bryan can be said to have done his best for the Soul Descent Council when he was in office, protecting and helping ordinary humans, and benefiting his companions after retirement, and the whole Clara is afraid that there will never be a second person as good as Hunter Bryan.
At this time, Hunter was sitting in his seat talking to another person.
And after Xia Zuo saw who this person was, Xia Zuo was suddenly startled.
Black hair and black eyes, dressed in black, ordinary but a little handsome......
I'll go!
Isn't this the Ian who just disappeared?
Speaking of which, I only now remembered that Ian seemed to have come with us...... It's just that because Ian's presence is so low, I don't think about it until now.
Then again, what's going on with this guy Ian? When did you come to Hunter, the boss?
Does he know the password as well as Fred?
Xia Zuo couldn't help but look at Fred on the side.
I saw Fred chuckling and shaking his head, he knew what Xia Zuo meant by looking at him, shaking his head to mean that he didn't know the situation very well now......
Wait...... Should I not say it...... It was Ian who sneaked in on a whim and then accidentally broke into Hunt's boss's room, and then was caught by Hunter inside.
Damn, isn't this going to be troublesome......
Xia Zuo couldn't help but support his forehead.
Hearing the commotion coming from the doorway, Hunter couldn't help but turn his head, let Ian go, and then look at Xia Zuo and them.
Hunter couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yo, Uncle Hunter, good afternoon. Fred was the first to greet him, with a flirtatious and playful smile on his face, and there was no restraint or uneasiness in front of his seniors.
"Oh, Fred, why did you kid come in like this without saying hello in advance?" Hunter skipped Xia Zuo and Jasmine behind Fred, pulling a face, as if he was a little angry, but there seemed to be a faint pampering smile in his eyes, "Didn't your bastard dad mention this?"
"It's just just just in case that you know the password to open the door, and I didn't let you in so casually. Hunter shook his head helplessly, "Dare to love the microphone I set up at the door in front of you?"
When Xia Zuo heard this, he couldn't help but think of the special quadrangular device at the door that seemed to be decorated......
Hey, it turns out that the strange device at the door is called a microphone, and listening to the name, it should be possible to let the people inside the door hear through that device, and then come out and open the door.
Although Fred didn't bother with the microphone at all...... He didn't even mention it to us.
Opened the door and brought us in.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but support his forehead.
But...... Listening to what Hunter's predecessor said, it seems that there are very few people who know the password to open the door, and it seems that the relationship between Fred and this Hunter's predecessor is really good.
It feels like it's ...... A family of relatives like that.
"Well...... Anyway, even if I use a microphone, you will come and open the door for most of the day, so I might as well open the door myself. Fred forced an explanation with a smile, and then sat down in a random chair without any panic.
"Sit down, too. Fred smiled.
"Ah, good......" Xia Zuo had to reluctantly pick a seat to sit down.
Jasmine also sat silently beside Xia Zuo.
"Forget it, I can't talk about you kid. Hunter snorted, as if choked a little, and then turned his head to look at Ian, who was quiet.
"What's the matter with this kid, he's your guy too?" Hunter asked, glancing at Ian and then at Fred.
"Yes, his name is 'Ian Hawke', a member of the Night Veil. Fred glanced at Ian and said with a smile.
"What did he do?" Fred asked, though inexplicably gloating, with concern.
"I didn't do anything...... It's just that I think there are a lot of people in this place.,On a whim, I suddenly wanted to try the ability of shadowing.,See if you can successfully avoid everyone.,As a result, this ability was used to accidentally wear to Hunter's predecessor.。 Ian suddenly explained, a little embarrassed.
"Then Hunt's predecessors didn't have any impression of me: after all, I had a low sense of existence...... And the last time I was here was a long time ago, so Uncle Hunter didn't know what I was here for, so he left me behind...... Forehead. Ian scratched his head.
Poof, ah, can you?
Ian, you've got to control your extraordinary abilities, or you'll be embarrassed if no one you know knows you, and you'll be miserable.
"Well......" Hunter nodded thoughtfully, "I do seem to have an impression of this kid......"
"Don't think about it, uncle, you can't remember it when you're old. Fred suddenly burst out.
"Cough cough......" Hunter suddenly felt that he was choking, and coughed dryly, "Damn, you kid can't save some face for my uncle?"
"Oh, I've got enough face, or I would have said that you're not far from Alzheimer's...... uncle," Fred smiled playfully, "and changed the title of uncle to 'old man' or 'old man'......"
"......" Hunter couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Okay, stop, stop,......" Hunter said quickly, "Uncle, I won't bother with you stinky boy, every time I talk and quarrel in front of you, I can't take advantage of anything...... Next time, I'll find your bastard daddy and let him teach you a good lesson. ”
"Huh...... Huh......" Fred smiled and didn't speak.
"Anyway, you stinky boy suddenly brought someone to me, what's the matter?" asked Hunter as he shifted the subject.
"It's nothing...... Fred couldn't help but smile, "it's just to bring the newcomer over to have a look, to disturb me, and to see if there's anything interesting......"
"Rookie?" Hunter was stunned, then looked at Xia Zuo and Jasmine behind Fred.
Hunter's gaze was the first to skip Jasmine, Jasmine needless to say, with Hunter's eyesight, he could naturally see at a glance that Jasmine's strength was extraordinary, at least at the level of an elite soul hunter.
Then the person next to him is the newcomer that Fred said.
Hunter looked at Xia Zuo and muttered.
"Newcomer......"
Hunter looked at Xia Zuo, huh...... Good temperament...... Although it is still a little immature, there is also some sense of maturity, and the soul reaction on the body does not seem to be strong enough, maybe the level of the soul bloodline is relatively low...... However, the control of soul energy seems to be very stable, and overall, it may have the strength of half an elite soul hunter, and it is indeed a good newcomer......
After looking around, Hunter's gaze suddenly stopped on Xia Zuo's eyes, and he always felt as if he had seen something from Xia Zuo's eyes: it was like seeing an abyss or an ocean, but then he didn't feel anything, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Hey...... Just now...... Delusional? I think I'm a little old.
Hunter didn't think much of it.
"Indeed a nice newcomer, what's your name?" Hunter asked with a smile as he looked at Xia Zuo.
"Ah...... My name. Xia Zuo was suddenly asked his name, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he hurriedly reacted.
"My name is 'Shazo Hoggen'. ”
"Please also ask your seniors for more advice. ”
