“...... You are so naïve. Facing Andrew, who exposed his hole cards and pressed forward step by step, the masked man said lightly after a short silence.

"Your hands and feet are invalid. ”

“...... Why do you say that?" the man was still indifferent, and Andrew smiled and frowned slightly.

"You don't know Xia Zuo well enough. ”

"I don't know enough about the person who gave this revolver to Xia Zuo. ”

"Seize the life force...... It didn't matter to him. ”

“...... What are you talking about?" Andrew couldn't help but be stunned, "I've been secretly observing him for so long, how can I not see the secret on him?!"

“...... I am under no obligation to explain it to you. The masked man said calmly, "If that's all you have...... Then it's time for an end. ”

"You ......" Before Andrew could finish speaking, he found that the figure of the masked man had disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Andrew.

At the same time, Andrew found himself suddenly completely suppressed by a certain force, and Andrew was completely unable to move at this time.

"Ahhh......h

The Revolver hovered in midair, then moved and flew in front of the masked man.

At the same time, the masked man reached out and grabbed the soul revolver.

“...... It's been a long time. The masked man stared at the pitch-black soul revolver in his hand and muttered, as if he was a little nostalgic.

"It's useless, even if you take away this revolver from my hand, you won't be able to unlock the black rose mark on Xia Zuo's body. Although Andrew couldn't move, he still didn't give up and emphasized to the masked man.

“...... As I said, it doesn't really matter. The masked man didn't pay attention to Andrew, but lowered his head and gently stroked the soul revolver, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Xia Zuo on the side.

Seeing this, Xia Zuo couldn't help but come to his senses.

The person in front of him who is suspected of being a sea of hearts...... What does he want to do to me?

Before Xia Zuo had time to think about it, the soul revolver in the masked man's hand suddenly moved and flew in front of Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo looked at the soul revolver in front of him with a confused expression, what is he?

“...... The property is returned to its rightful owner. The masked man said lightly, "It suits you well, I hope you won't live up to its power." ”

"Are you really willing to give it back to me?" Xia Zuo asked as he looked at the masked man and asked with a little confusion, "You seem to know this soul weapon...... And it seems that this soul weapon is actually very important to you, too. ”

Xia Zuo, he could naturally see the nostalgic look of the masked man when he held this soul revolver in his hand.

In addition, the masked man seems to know the uncle, and perhaps, the masked man used to be the owner of this revolver.

“...... It doesn't matter. The masked man paused and shook his head, "And...... You're better suited to it than I'm going to be now. ”

"Use it well and don't let yourself regret it. ”

“...... Good. Although he felt a little confused, Xia Zuo nodded at the masked man, and then gently held the soul revolver suspended in mid-air in front of him, "I will." ”

"Hmm. The masked man bowed slightly.

"What about Andrew?" Xia Zuo stared at the revolver in his hand for a moment, put it away, and then looked up at the masked man.

“...... What do you want?" the masked man asked Xia Zuo rhetorically.

“...... I, I don't know. Xia Zuo replied with some hesitation.

Xia Zuo, he really didn't know what to do.

From Shazo's point of view, Andrew used to be his good friend and once helped Shazo, who knew nothing when he came to Clara, and accompanied Shazo...... Although Andrew now shows that he actually deceived Xia Zuo, the reason why he helped Xia Zuo is only because of the secret hidden in Xia Zuo.

But none of this can hide the fact that Andrew once helped Xia Zuo.

And...... Although Andrew has attacked others, he does not seem to have caused any serious consequences and has not killed anyone, such Andrew...... How do you deal with it?

Wait...... Wait a minute.

Didn't kill a single person...... The people of the Sunseeker are only held hostage by him...... But I seem to have overlooked something.

This...... Big Brother Steele!

One of the workers who accidentally disappeared at the construction site, Xia Zuo originally thought that Steele might be trapped in the underground ruins or captured by Andrew, but Xia Zuo was unable to find him afterwards.

Xia Zuo looked at Andrew.

Andrew ...... Brother Steele, have you seen Brother Steele?" asked Xia Zuo, a little uneasy.

"Steele?" Andrew lifted the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a weird smile even though he couldn't move, "Oh...... Do you mean Steele, the son of the bakery owner......"

"Did you see him?!" Xia Zuo saw Andrew's strange expression and hurriedly asked.

"Huh...... Yes. Andrew smiled.

“...... So where is he now?" Xia Zuo suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.

“...... Where?" Andrew grinned, "of course it's not anywhere." ”

"Because...... He can now be said to be no longer himself. ”

"What do you mean?!" Xia Zuo's face changed, "What did you do to Brother Steele?"

"Huh...... Steele unexpectedly discovered my true powers at the construction site, and I had to make Steele a puppet to keep him from revealing his secrets. ”

"After all, it's still useful to make Steele a puppet. ”

"If you can convince him to break my shackles now, perhaps I'll tell you where Steele is now being made a puppet. Andrew smiled, "Or are you unable to do it?"

"......" Xia Zuo was silent for a moment, looking a little struggling, but finally looked at the masked man on the side and made a decision, "Can I ask you?"

“...... You don't have to. The masked man said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Andrew's expression changed, "you wouldn't have been able to find Steele without me." ”

The masked man ignored Andrew, but the silver-white mask on his head suddenly appeared with a strange pattern of brilliance, and then a huge force that Xia Zuo could not describe and imagined suddenly extended, almost instantly, covering the entire Clara.

Then the force dissipated almost instantly, and the surroundings returned to calm.

"I sensed his position. The masked man whispered.

"You...... How could it be ......" Andrew's face was full of astonishment.

"Even if you are the sea of hearts with the most powerful spiritual power...... It is impossible to find the puppet I have hidden so easily to ......," Andrew muttered to himself in a moment of distraction.

However, before Andrew could come to his senses, a white streamer suddenly flashed from afar, flying towards Xia Zuo's location at an extremely fast speed.

Soon came to Xia Zuo's face.

The light dissipated, revealing a sturdy young man in his twenties with blond hair and blue eyes.

The young man's eyes were blank, and his whole body exuded a strange and terrifying aura, and at the same time, his hands and feet were stiff, which made people feel frightened.

The young man in front of him was like a puppet.

No, he's a puppet, a puppet.

Steele, the strange young man in front of him who was brought by the strange light was the big brother Steele that Xia Zuo said.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this.

What's the situation?Is the Sea of Hearts really so powerful? It's just that in an instant, you can find Big Brother Steele, who was hidden by Andrew, from the huge Clara, and bring Big Brother Steele here from so far away?

How incredibly powerful is this?

The masked man didn't stop, but stretched out his fingers, tapped them lightly on Steele's forehead, and then spoke.

"Well, I've banished him from outside forces and restored his mind to normal. ”

"Summer ...... Zuo?" Steele's eyes suddenly returned to clarity, looked at Xia Zuo, and then lost consciousness again, and fell to Xia Zuo, Xia Zuo hurriedly caught Steele.

"Is he really okay now?" Xia Zuo asked the masked man as he looked at Steele, who was unconscious in front of him.

"It's just a loss of consciousness after being depuppeted. The masked man whispered, "Just get some rest afterwards." ”

"How is that possible...... My puppetry...... How could it be so easy to be unraveled by you......" Andrew muttered to himself with a look of disbelief when he saw that his last resort had been cracked.

"Your puppetry was only stolen from the demon species, and it is not mature. The masked man glanced at Andrew, and instead of explaining to Andrew again, he turned his gaze to Xia Zuo.

"So now, what is your decision regarding his disposition?" asked the masked man.

"Do you have to let me decide......" Xia Zuo muttered to himself.

Xia Zuo felt even more irritable.

Originally, I was still very hesitant to let Andrew go and let Andrew reform himself, but what Andrew did to everyone, as well as to Big Brother Steele, is really reassuring.

If Andrew is let go this time...... Perhaps in the future, he and everyone will usher in Andrew's stronger revenge.

What should I do?

Rely on this man's strength here...... Kill Andrew?

No, I don't feel like I can do it.

And...... I don't think I'm qualified to decide a person's life or death so easily.

Andrew's Life and Death ...... Perhaps it should be left to the Soul Descent Council to judge.

Andrew wasn't necessarily the worst offender, although he did too much to everyone, even making Big Brother Steele a puppet who was manipulated by him...... But he still didn't really hurt the killer after all.

Maybe he can still be saved.

Maybe Andrew didn't sin to death.

Xia Zuo thought.

"Let's leave Andrew in the hands of the council. Xia Zuo said to the masked man, "I don't think I have the ability to judge Andrew's crimes, or even decide Andrew's life or death." ”

“...... That's it. The masked man seemed to smile lightly, "That's it." ”

"I'll put a strong seal on him and erase some of his memories, and then it's up to you how you bring him to the council. ”

"But......" The masked man's voice suddenly became serious.

"Xia Zuo, I can help you this time. ”

"But next time I don't necessarily show up again. ”

"I want you to remember that. ”

"Also, I hope you don't reveal anything about me to the council, especially including you. ”

"Understood?"

“...... Good. Xia Zuo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, after this incident, Xia Zuo also knew that he was indeed special.

Xia Zuo is not stupid, if he exposes his special features in front of the council, he may not know what will happen.

Let's wait until the situation is confirmed later.

"That's right. Xia Zuo saw that the matter seemed to be about to be resolved, and hurriedly said.

“...... Can you tell me about me?" asked Xia Zuo.

Although Xia Zuo didn't care about his own affairs, this time, Xia Zuo had to start caring about it.

What kind of existence is himself? What is his relationship with him? What is his relationship with Uncle Hunter...... These questions puzzled Xia Zuo.

The man in front of him, who is suspected of being in the sea of hearts, can he give himself a complete answer?

PS: The full answer? Of course it is...... It's impossible (laughs)
