The cold wind blew, the blue sky darkened, and in Fred's vision, more and more dark clouds gradually covered the originally blue sky, enveloping the land below.

"It's probably going to rain heavily. Anos looked at Fred and said, "Let's go." ”

"With Uncle's current state, he can't be drenched in such a rain again. ”

"Huh...... When it rains at such times, it always makes people feel a little uneasy, and it always feels like some kind of ominous sign. Fred smiled slightly, shook his head slightly, and seemed to suddenly change his mind, "You guys go first." ”

"What are you?" said Arnos.

"You go back and take care of the wounded first. Fred said seriously, "I suddenly felt like I had something else to do. ”

"What's the matter?" Arnos asked, knowing that Fred wouldn't want to leave for no reason.

"A lot of things. Fred smiled, "There's a lot of things I want to confirm." ”

"Just give you an example...... Didn't you say there's no news from the Lighthouse or the Sunstriders, Captain?"

"I'll take this opportunity to go over and check the situation. ”

The Lighthouse and the Sunstrider, who are known as the three major soul hunters along with the Night Veil, have suddenly lost contact with each other, and at this time, it can be difficult to feel at ease if you don't confirm the situation.

"Anyway, send the uncle back and take care of the wounded...... It's enough to have you, and I'm not missing one, right?" Fred asked with a smile.

“...... All right. When Anos heard this, he had to bow his head slightly, and Anos was also curious about the situation of Clara's other soul descendants.

I hope the other soul descendants are doing well, and nothing has happened......

Otherwise...... I can't imagine what the whole Clara will face next.

With a strong sense of crisis, Arnos gently patted Fred on the shoulder.

"Go early and come back early, and remember to do everything within your means. Anos advised.

"Good. Fred smiled and nodded.

"Then let's go, Astrang. Anos stepped forward and followed Aststrong, who had been waiting for the Arnos people in front.

"Haha, good. Astron nodded, then paused, as if he had thought of something.

"Anyway...... I suddenly remembered something, where are we going to take him?" Astron asked suddenly.

"Are you going back to the bar?"

"No, let's go back to Locke Street. Anos shook his head, "It's not right over there at the bar. ”

"There are a lot of people talking at the bar, and if the bar staff or other soul descendants know about Hunter's seniors, it may cause unnecessary panic. ”

"And...... I always suspect that the Fallen Man may have been to the bar and secretly observed Hunter's predecessors. As he spoke, Anos looked at Hunter.

"Senpai, you said yes, right?" Arnos asked rhetorically.

"Huh...... Also. Hunter smiled weakly, "It's really not right for me to go to the bar right now." ”

"And we should not disperse our forces now. ”

"That's right...... Then we'll go to Locke Street. Astron smiled and agreed.

"By the way, Fred, he's not with us?" asked Adson, who was beside Astrang, noticing that Fred didn't seem to be going to follow.

"He has things he wants to confirm. Anos explained.

"Okay, with his strength, as long as he doesn't mess around, there must be no problems. Adelson glanced at Fred, then withdrew his slightly concerned gaze.

"So...... Let's go. Astrang held Hunter and strode forward, trotting in the direction of Locke Street.

Anos and the others followed.

In the end, Fred was left alone.

Fred stood alone, slowly reaching out and catching the raindrops.

Heavy rain is coming.

"Huh...... Captain, I'm sorry. Fred muttered to himself.

"I did want to check the situation, but ...... I thought about it, and sure enough, I still thought it would be interesting to confirm the situation of the subspecies black dragon first. ”

"Just let me take another risk. Fred smiled, "And...... My gut tells me that the loss of contact between the lighthouse and the Sunstrider may have something to do with it.

"But...... Since this black dragon has already been transferred, there is no need for me to be in such a hurry to find it here in Leiden District now," Fred smiled.

"You can take your time. ”

"Let's go to the bar first, and take a look at what the file that records the workers witnessing a huge black shadow looks like, and what kind of construction site this site is. ”

Worried that the subspecies black dragon would move to its hiding place, the Night Curtain rushed to Leiden to try their luck, so they didn't have time to go to the "Night Watch" bar to confirm the situation.

But now Fred has time.

"It's good that I know how to open my uncle's office, otherwise...... At this point, I don't have to do it. Fred smiled, then shifted and disappeared into the ever-increasing rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

... ...

Norn Street, "Night Watch" bar.

Fred soon arrives at the "Night Watch" bar.

As a soul-born soul hunter, in order to avoid being discovered by the prey, Fred's concealment ability is naturally not bad, and the ordinary employees in the bar can't find out that Fred is coming, even those special soul-born personnel don't notice Fred's existence much, and they only don't care if they do.

After all, in this bar, which is actually run by a Soul Descendant, it is normal to meet a Soul Descendant.

Fred was in a no-man's land, and soon came to the door of Hunter's office.

Fred turned the doorknob lightly and entered the door's code—a specific frequency and size of soul energy.

The door opened.

Fred walked into the office and slammed the door shut.

"I feel like I'm here to be a thief. Fred couldn't help but laugh to himself, then turned his attention to the row of bookshelves where the files were kept.

"Which one is it...... Fred stood in front of the bookshelf and muttered for a moment, "a relatively fresh file like this should be placed in a more conspicuous place outside." ”

"Yo, I found it. After a moment's search, Fred found the one he and Nazzo had been looking at to record recent commissions and events.

"Let me see...... Which construction site exactly? Fred flipped through the file, and because he didn't know where the sighting of the huge black shadow was recorded, Fred flipped through it for a moment before finally finding the relevant specific record.

"On May 6, 343 A.D., a mysterious huge black shadow appeared in Leiden District, which was large in size and appeared to have huge wings, and appeared only once at dusk, witnessed by local workers. ”

"Based on comprehensive considerations, it is recommended to postpone the treatment, and the possibility of delusion is not ruled out. ”

“... ...”

The worker who witnessed the sighting, Wade, is currently working at the Constron site in Leiden District, which is currently unusual. ”

“... ...”

Wade...... Constron site. Fred's eyes narrowed slightly, "Let's go over and have a look now." ”

"Even if it's moved now, it's going to leave some clues. Fred put the file back on the bookshelf and left Hunter's studio.

... ...

Locke Street Detective Agency, where the Night Veil is.

With Hunter, who was seriously injured, the Arnos finally returned to the office.

Elsa had a hint of surprise on her face when she saw that the others of Anos had returned so quickly, but soon, this surprise was replaced by shock.

After all, the seriously injured Hunter really attracted the attention of Elsa, who was a soul descendant.

"Let's find a place to house Hunter's seniors first. Anos didn't have time to talk to Elsa more, nodded to Elsa, and then led Hunter into a room in the office, which was not the same as the room where Xia Zuo was, and Anos placed Hunter on the bed in the room.

"Thank you. Hunter smiled weakly.

"No thanks. "You should rest first." ”

"No, I guess I'd better start by telling me everything I know. Hunter propped himself up slightly on the bed, "I haven't had a chance to say it before. ”

“...... Senior, you said. Arnos was slightly stunned, then bowed slightly.

The others also stood by curiously and waited, and they were all curious about what had happened to Hunter.

"I went to the Constron site. Hunter said slowly.

"That construction site where workers witnessed a huge black shadow?" Anos stared at him and reacted immediately.

"yes, it looks like you've noticed that, too. Hunter chuckled, "I didn't really care about it. ”

"It wasn't until yesterday that I got new news. ”

"The mysterious black shadow has reappeared. ”

"The witnesses are still workers at the construction site, but in larger numbers. ”

"One of the more impressive things I have is a young man named Steele, a Soulborn met him by chance and got relevant information from him, and this Soulborn also claimed to have sensed an anomalous soul from there, and then the news came to me. ”

Steele ...... Anos couldn't help frowning, this was clearly the friend Xia Zuo mentioned.

"I happened to have some free time at the time, and on a whim, I decided to investigate, and it would be better to get more information from the worker named Steele and the Soul Spawn. ”

"However, by the time I got there, the young man named Steele had disappeared along with all the other witnesses, including the Soul Spawn, so I decided to investigate the site immediately. ”

"And yet...... Until the night, I couldn't find any traces. ”

"Just as I was confused and ready to leave for a while, the mysterious man appeared. ”

"He seemed to be prepared and knew I would be in this place. ”

"It's weird, my whereabouts, even the bar's internal staff, aren't very clear. ”

"And he knows my weaknesses. ”

"I was hit hard by a sudden gunshot. ”

"Luckily, it was dark at the time, and I managed to evade his pursuit with the remaining strength of the night, and fled to other places until I met you. ”

"That's probably all I've been through. ”

“...... A man who has been prepared? Anos pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, "So senior, who is the Soul Descendant who told you the news of the construction site, and where is he now?"

"Well......" Hunter shook his head, "I can't remember the specific name, it's really hard to use when you're old." ”

"I just remember that it seems to be ...... Last name 'Smith'. ”

"So......" Anos pondered for a moment, unable to think of anything, so he nodded slightly.

"Then senior, you have a good rest. ”

"I'll leave it to us. ”
