Xia Zuo stood in place without saying a word.

The words he had spoken to Neil last night still seemed to linger in my ears.

"Speaking of which, I think that's what we should be. ”

"It's time to come together to find answers and find the missing Uncle Moore. ”

"Yet those of us who work in the same castle not only did not unite, but cowered and did not dare to speak. ”

"Abandoned Uncle Moore just like that. ”

"Even I, a bold fellow, only dare to say it secretly in this situation. ”

"Even take your money. ”

"Actually, I shouldn't have taken this money in the first place. ”

"But I thought, what if I say this, I'll disappear like Uncle Moore?"

"Then I should always leave some gold coins for my family......"

“...... Ha ha. ”

... ...

"You can rest assured. ”

"With our group of great detectives here, I guarantee that you will be safe and secure in the future. ”

"Don't worry about going missing!"

"Haha, if that's the case then I'm relieved. ”

... ...

"What's wrong with you, why are you suddenly suspicious?"

"It's okay, it always feels like someone is eavesdropping on us. ”

"You're thinking too much, brother

"Perhaps. ”

"I guess I did it because of my momentary sixth sense. ”

"Poof, do we men have a sixth sense too?"

"Yes, our man's sixth sense is called intuition. ”

... ...

Pain.

It hurts.

It's painful.

Why did I ask Neil about these things that everyone else was taboo so carelessly last night?

Why did I ignore Neil's instincts last night?

Why did I promise to let Neil go last night and come back tomorrow?

Why?

Xia Zuo, why?

Xia Zuo questioned himself.

What else did you say at the time, he must have been safe and sound.

What have you done?

No.

Not at all.

Nothing.

You didn't do anything.

Amusing!

It was your carelessness and arrogance that killed him.

Killed an innocent and kind man.

In order to help you, and to get Uncle Mohr back, he took such a risk and sacrificed his own safety, but you treated him so casually?

People who may reveal important information like this are often more likely to be in danger.

But look at what you've done? You walked away with a happy face last night, thinking that you could find new clues and solve the mystery...... You can show your abilities in front of everyone......

...... Ha ha.

It's ridiculous, me.

Xia Zuo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

For the first time, Xia Zuo regretted his recklessness and carelessness.

After defeating the haunt for the first time on Art Street (which was successfully defeated by Fred's timely appearance), Xia Zuo began to get carried away with the hunter's uncle's weapon to fight the ghost, and did not know how to retreat or hide.

When fighting against the Blood Demon Seed Soul Demon, Xia Zuo even overdeveloped his soul essence on the spur of the moment, completely reckless.

As a result, Xia Zuo had to undergo both mental and physical treatment afterwards.

If it weren't for Jasmine and Elsa's healing ability being strong enough, Xia Zuo would have been treated in time.

If it weren't for Xia Zuo's self-healing ability, it would have been unexpectedly strong.

Then Xia Zuo may not be able to continue to be a soul hunter in the future.

From these incidents, it can be completely seen that Xia Zuo is really a very casual and impulsive, careless and reckless person.

Although Xia Zuo sometimes shows a careful side, this side is often ineffective due to the influence of Xia Zuo's own casual impulses.

Just like when he was on Art Street, Xia Zuo clearly guessed that the ghosts would reappear, but he didn't know how to retreat in time.

Although everyone often said that Edith was a casual girl.

But if you really want to talk about it, in fact, Xia Zuo's "casualness" is not much better than Edith.

From this point of view alone, it may be that Edith and Xia Zuo are quite like a brother and sister.

It's really an inexplicable fit for a pair of brothers and sisters.

Xia Zuo was immersed in regret, and then clenched his fists again.

Finally...... Who did it, and who killed Neil...... Is that the Saxophone Viscount...... Why...... Why did you kill him like that......? Damn it!

"Go see his body. Fred gently patted Xia Zuo on the back, causing Xia Zuo to come back to his senses.

"I know you're having a hard time right now. ”

"Regret and anger. ”

"But regret and anger are of little use. ”

"It's better to ......"

"It's better to look for possible clues, and don't let him die like this. Anos took what Fred had to say and approached Neil's body.

Anos stood next to Neil's corpse, then crouched down and took a closer look at Neil's corpse.

Judging by the state of Neil's body, Neil should have been attacked after returning home late last night.

Neil's body was distorted by some kind of huge force, which is obviously not something that normal humans can do, and the distortion of his body by this force is the key cause of Neil's death.

If you look closer, you can see a faint glow on Neil's body.

"This is obviously not done by ordinary people. Anos said.

Anos gently flipped Neil's body over.

"There was a remnant of soul energy on his corpse. Arnos said quietly.

"?!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but freeze in place.

Not ordinary people...... Is there any remnant of soul energy?

No...... Impossible, there should only be a few of us soul descendants in this castle......

No, there's ...... Edith.

Undead Maiden, Edith.

No.

There's no reason for her to do such a thing.

If she wanted to hide it, she didn't have to talk to me last night, she didn't have to tell me about Leah.

Impossible.

But...... It seems that she is really the only one left.

But why?

Why?

Give me hope before I despair?

...... Ha ha.

You're ridiculous, Natsuzo.

Xia Zuo felt that his eyes seemed to be a little moist.

I kind of want to cry.

It's himself who is sorry for him.

It was my fault.

Just when Xia Zuo was in pain.

Xia Zuo suddenly felt his hand being gently held by something soft.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but raise his head and look over.

It's Jasmine's hand.

Jasmine gently held Natsuzo's hand.

Maybe she sensed Xia Zuo's self-blame and remorse, so she held Xia Zuo's hand, hoping to comfort him.

"Don't be too upset. Jasmine said softly.

“...... Good. Xia Zuo paused for a long time, and finally bowed his head slightly.

... ...

"Elsa, come and take a look. Anos waved at Elsa.

"Hmm. Elsa approached Neil's body.

Elsa's eyes were like water, with a trace of ripples, and a steady stream of spiritual power poured out of Elsa's body, cooperating with Elsa.

A moment later.

Elsa put away her mental power, and her eyes returned to their original state again.

"There are indeed traces of soul energy on his body. Elsa paused, "But it shouldn't fit the soul of any of us. ”

"Aside from our Night Veil in this castle, she's the only one in this castle. Fred, like Shazo, thought of Edith.

"Necromancer, Edith. ”

"Did she do it?" Fred asked.

"No, not really. Elsa shook her head in surprise.

"Judging from the breath of soul energy, it doesn't look like Edith's soul breath. ”

"There is indeed no breath of the undead on the corpse. ”

"But...... It is not ruled out that Edith may use other abilities to conceal her aura. ”

"After all, we don't know her very well and can't confirm if she has this type of ability. Elsa said.

"And she arrived at the castle before we did, and first made some kind of agreement with Viscount Sax. ”

"With her character......"

"It's entirely possible that she's going to do this for Viscount Sachs. ”

"As for the previous appearance of discord with Viscount Sachs, it is entirely possible that it was disguised. ”

"Don't look at her appearance as a little girl, she's very cunning. Fred said as he looked at the crowd with his chin propped up, and then suddenly glanced at Xia Zuo again.

"Xia Zuo, don't be fooled by her little girl's appearance. Fred said to Shazo.

"But she ......" Xia Zuo just wanted to refute, but he couldn't help but stop talking.

Maybe it's because I can't find any reason to refute it.

I really want to believe her, but there are only a few of us in this castle...... This can't be done by one of our people, so she's the only soul descendant left.

She was the only one left who could use the soul to kill Neil.

...... Haha, maybe it's really my fault.

Couldn't be more wrong.

Miss by a mile.

Maybe I've never really gotten to know Edith and just do things with my instincts, and I'm so carried away that Edith believes in her because of her liking for her.

It was because of my arrogance that I killed Neil.

Kill such a kind and good man.

...... Hehe.

Xia Zuo laughed at himself in his heart.

“...... I understand. Xia Zuo lowered his head, agreed with Fred's statement, clenched his fists, and whispered.

"Don't move his body yet. "I'll go to Viscount Sachs first and see how he reacts." ”

"Elsa, you come with me and see how he reacts. ”

"You just wait here. ”

The crowd nodded.

Just as Anos had just left, everyone fell into a strange silence.

A playful and cute voice suddenly came from the side.

It's as crisp and melodious as a silver bell.

"Hey, hey, isn't this my brother?"

Xia Zuo was stunned and couldn't help but look sideways.

Hidden in the shadows, Ian quietly pulled out the soul dagger.

Jasmine approached Natsuzo and stood beside him.

Soul energy, quietly condensed.

I saw a silver-haired girl in a black dress standing there, smiling at Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo also looked at the silver-haired girl.

But Xia Zuo's eyes at this time were no longer as gentle as before, and his eyes were sharp.

Natsuzo gritted her teeth and slowly said her name.

"Edith ......"
