Volume 1: The Curtain of the Night, Chapter 14: Extraordinary Abilities (Part 2)
At the end of 7th Att. Street, in Chazzo's house.
At this time, Xia Zuo was quietly closing his eyes, as if he sensed something.
Fred on the side was stunned for a moment, and then continued to return to his smiling appearance.
Andrew finally got up from the bed, as if he couldn't continue to rest because of the two of them.
"What is he doing here?" Andrew rubbed his eyes, walked over to Fred's side, and then picked up a bench and sat down.
"Shhhh Fred shrugged softly, his index finger resting on his lips, motioning for Andrew to be quiet and quiet.
"Ahh Andrew froze, then nodded.
Xia Zuo was quiet for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes, and his golden pupils glowed with a faint light.
"I feel like I get it. Xia Zuo looked around for a few moments before finally speaking.
"I didn't expect you to be able to sense the soul in your body smoothly, after all, the low soul content will make it more difficult for the soul descendant to perceive the soul in the body, it seems that you are really talented, even if your bloodline level is very low......" Fred laughed.
"So, have you awakened your extraordinary abilities, and are you good at perceptual tracking?"
"Probably ......" Xia Zuo nodded, and when he activated the ability, in his perception, he seemed to see the whole world in black and white, except for those strange lines with color.
The whole black and white world is full of lines of different colors, breaths, and shapes and sizes, which seem to connect everything in the world.
"Then let's give it a try. Fred smiled, "You give me your soul dagger and close your eyes." β
Xia Zuo nodded, then handed the soul dagger to Fred.
I saw Fred hold the soul dagger and let the soul dagger with a black daggard "jump" on his palm, and the dagger was immediately stirred up by a certain force, and then flew down to a corner without a trace, without making a sound.
"Hey, is it so powerful?" Andrew who was watching from the side couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.
"Alright, you should remember the breath of your soul dagger, right? you can keep track of your dagger now. β
"That dagger contains soul essence in its body, and if you can really sense and track it, then you should be able to find this dagger easily. Fred crossed his legs and sat there smiling.
"Boy, let me see your extraordinary abilities. β
Xia Zuo bowed his head, closed his eyes, and saw the black and white world full of various lines again.
Xia Zuo felt that there was a line whose breath was basically the same as that of the dagger, and Xia Zuo continued to perceive and track along this line, and finally the line stayed in one place, where there was a dagger in a dagger sheath, which was lying there quietly.
Natsuzo opened his eyes, then walked to the window without saying a word, jumped out of the window and fell to the ground, and then without hesitation walked to the corner on the left, where the dagger lay quietly, as in the black and white world.
Xia Zuo picked up the dagger, and then easily flipped over it and returned to the house.
Andrew's eyes widened in shock as he watched Xia Zuo's movements, as well as the dagger in Xia Zuo's hand.
"You really found it, and, Xia Zuo, you seem to have become more agile?" Andrew said in surprise.
Xia Zuo smiled and nodded at Andrew.
"Very well, congratulations, lucky boy. Fred smiled and clapped his hands, "There's no doubt that you've awakened an extraordinary ability that is good at perception tracking...... That's why the dagger was so easy to find. β
"Let's call this ability 'Soul Tracking', after all, it's more for soul tracking. β
"In addition, your physical fitness has also changed because of your development of soul qualityβit has been further strengthened. β
"Now you're finally barely a qualified soul descendant. β
"Hey, hey. Xia Zuo couldn't help but laugh again.
"So now I can report to you, right?" asked Xia Zuo.
"Yes. Fred then stood up, and he put away what he had brought, "It's time for you, a temporary member, to meet the rest of the team." β
"They're actually pretty nice people...... You have to remember to get along with them. Fred smiled, "So do you have anything else to prepare?"
Xia Zuo thought for a moment, then looked at Andrew.
"I'll trouble you here, Andrew. Shazo said to Andrew.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go, remember that you have a salary, hurry up and come over to help me repay the compensation for this house." Andrew replied.
Xia Zuo's face suddenly darkened, and I didn't seem to know what my salary was...... I don't know how much I'll be paid...... Anyway, can we stop talking about money or something? Talking about money hurts feelings.
Xia Zuo's face changed subtly.
Andrew couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay, after all, it's the house we share together, and I'll still pay with you if we should lose money. Xia Zuo couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at Fred.
"Speaking of which...... I don't know exactly how much I'm going to be paid?"
"This job is so dangerous, I feel like taking this job is like signing a life and death certificate, working hard for the organization all day long, and the salary is still very bad, right?"
"Well......" Fred couldn't help but sneer, "It's okay, I just don't think it's likely to be a Soul Descendant who is so interested in worldly money." β
"After all, for soul descendants, items containing soul essence are hard currency, not ordinary money that can only be used by the world. β
"Although worldly money is not useless, some soul-descended merchants will also accept worldly money, after all, we soul-descendants also need to use money to buy some things in secular society. β
"We Soulborns have a certain connection with the upper echelons of the human race...... Fred walked to the door and said, "so the source of the Soulborn's salary, or the funding of the Soulborn, is often from the upper echelons of the humans. β
"With this layer of security, you shouldn't worry about too little salary, right?"
Xia Zuo looked suddenly enlightened and nodded desperately.
It seems that it may be because Xia Zuo was an orphan when he was a child, and Xia Zuo has some kind of strong desire for money.
"In addition, our Night Curtain is disguised as a detective agency in this city, and there are often some ordinary people, or human high-level people who come to entrust us with some tasks, which can also earn a lot of money, and the commission of the commission reward is determined by your specific performance. β
"With so much money, what else do you need to worry about?" Fred smiled.
"Damn...... I'm a little moved by what I said. Andrew spoke up on the side, looking envious and jealous, "And there is a connection with the human high-level...... Maybe there will be a chance to meet a few aristocratic beauties to see. β
"Alas...... Envy, jealousy, hatred. Andrew, who was on the side, was "a thief who never died", still obsessed with knowing beautiful women, and sighed.
Xia Zuo couldn't help covering his face, usually it's okay to talk about this, but now there are outsiders who are still talking about it.
I don't know him, don't ask me, I don't know anything...... Xia Zuo said helplessly in his heart.
A smile rose in Fred's purple eyes.
"You'd better stay here, Andrew. Xia Zuo said, and then looked at Fred, "Let's go, we shouldn't have so much time, right?"
"Yes. Fred bowed his head slightly.
"Let's go, to Baker City, Rock Street. β
Xia Zuo finally waved goodbye to Andrew, and the two of them gradually faded away.
Looking at the figures of the two gradually moving away, Andrew walked to the side of the bed, jumped slightly, and suddenly lay down on the bed.
Andrew rolled over, his eyes revealing some mixed emotions, and stared silently at the ceiling of the room.
"The Night Veil of the Soulborn......"
"I haven't seen it before...... Interesting soul hunting team......"
