A peaceful night.

The next day, Clara, Noun Street, Chazzo's accommodation.

The light of the morning began to loom, and the curtain of night gradually closed at the same time.

The glow of the morning sun began to illuminate the entire Noon Street.

After a night of rest and relaxation, Xia Zuo slowly opened his golden eyes that shimmered like gold, reflecting the chandelier on the ceiling, gradually changing from a slightly blank gaze to a serious mind.

Xia Zuo woke up.

Xia Zuo quickly got up from the bed, and then quickly folded the bed, after washing and dressing, Xia Zuo casually touched the dagger and dagger pinned to his waist, as well as the key to the house, and after confirming that nothing was missing, Xia Zuo walked to the living room.

“...... Sure enough, Andrew still hasn't come back. Xia Zuo glanced at Andrew's room in the living room and saw that Andrew's room was still locked as before, and had not been opened.

I'm afraid this guy fell asleep with the "night watchman...... It's not the first time, but fortunately, the "night watchman" still takes good care of the employees in this regard, and the employees have a special lounge, so they don't worry about him.

Xia Zuo thought to himself.

I just don't know when he's going to get my soul revolver back...... Wait a minute, anyway, this guy didn't return it overnight and took away my precious revolver, could it be that he wanted to "abscond with the money"?

Xia Zuo suddenly had this funny thought inexplicably.

Are you so brave? I don't want a job or this house?

Ahh......h When the time comes, I'll have the opportunity to go to the "Night Watch" and ask again.

Xia Zuo paused, then took out the key, opened the door, walked outside, and locked the door of the house.

Natsuzo clapped his hands, then put the key in his pocket and left the accommodation.

Today is the day when the Night Curtain officially begins to search for the subspecies Black Dragon and the ghosts who escaped last time, and this kind of thing should have been done sooner, but the captain Anos considered the state of all the members of the Night Veil, and finally decided to start the operation at half past six this morning.

And now it's about six o'clock in the morning, Xia Zuo is going to go to the nearby bakery to buy a long strip of brioche bread, which is one of Xia Zuo's favorite foods, and then rush to the detective office where the Night Veil is located.

Although it was still early, there were already many people walking around the streets of Norn Street, and small shops were opening one after another, especially the Ante Bakery, which specializes in selling breakfast bread - the bakery near Natsusa's residence had already set up its storefront, and the owner of the bakery began to shout and attract passers-by with a smile on his face, selling freshly baked bread.

Xia Zuo stepped forward quickly, took advantage of the lack of crowds to the front of the bakery, and smiled at the boss.

"Good morning, hostess. ”

"Please bring me a long strip of brioche bread, a pound of it. Xia Zuo smiled.

"Ah...... It's Xiao Xia Zuo, is it so early today?" The boss is a stable woman in middle age, she obviously knows Xia Zuo, and smiled at Xia Zuo.

"I'll help you load, five Atlanta plates. The proprietress smiled and began to take out a pound-sized dough package and put it into the bag as she spoke.

Ten copper plates are equal to one Atlanta silver coin, and it is the smallest currency in common in the Atlanta continent.

"Haha it's okay, after all, there is still work today. Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then handed the five copper plates to the proprietress .

The proprietress took the copper plate handed by Xia Zuo, and at the same time handed Xia Zuo the bag containing the bread to Xia Zuo with a smile on her face.

"That's right...... Where's Big Brother Steele?" Xia Zuo reached out to catch the bag of bread and glanced at the inside of the bakery, but he didn't see the young man Steele who was usually here to help the shop.

"Ah...... Steele. The proprietress scratched her head and explained to Xia Zuo, "He heard yesterday that Leiden District was recruiting workers at a high level, so he went there to try his luck, but there is no news yet." ”

"I don't know if this kid has found a job or if he's out having fun and won't come back. The proprietress smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, it's okay, it may be that Big Brother Steele has found a job and hasn't come back yet. Xia Zuo nodded thoughtfully, although he always felt as if he had neglected something, Xia Zuo didn't have time to think about it, and said to the proprietress, "Goodbye then." ”

Xia Zuo said goodbye, chewed bread in one hand and hurried in the direction of the dark curtain.

I'm probably not the last to arrive this time, right?

... ...

Locke Street Detective Agency, Dark Veil.

After a little trotting, Xia Zuo finally arrived at the Dark Veil.

At this time, it was nearly half past six o'clock, and at the usual time, Xia Zuo might still be sleeping at this time, Xia Zuo could be said to have come very early this time.

Xia Zuo tried to pull the door, only to find that it was unlocked—the door of the office had been opened, and someone had already arrived at the Night Veil.

No way...... Am I the last to get up?

Xia Zuo couldn't laugh or cry, then opened the door and walked into the living room of the office.

I saw that everyone in the living room had already gathered together, as if they were discussing something.

However, Jasmine still sat quietly upright in her chair as usual, and did not say anything.

Ian leaned against the wall, his dark eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking—though Natsuzo thought he looked like he was sleepy......

Xia Zuo's entry broke the conversation of everyone in the living room, and everyone couldn't help but look up and look at Xia Zuo, who was getting closer.

"Yo, you're here, Xia Zuo, you're actually quite early today. Fred smiled, patted Xia Zuo on the back, and greeted with a grin.

"Uh...... Didn't I know we still had a mission......" Xia Zuo scratched his head embarrassedly, "By the way, you guys actually came earlier than me, what were you talking about just now?"

"Hey...... That's the point. Fred smiled slyly.

"You've come just in time. ”

"We are talking about your role. Fred explained.

"My role?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with a confused expression.

"Yes, after all, you have special abilities. Fred said, "Your soul tracking can effectively trace the source of some of the soul essence, and we also have these black crystals that contain the soul of the subspecies Black Dragon—which is even more beneficial for us to track down this subspecies of Black Dragon." ”

"Aha...... If it helps, then I'm glad to do it. Xia Zuo scratched his head embarrassedly in the face of everyone's gaze, "But my use of the extraordinary ability of soul tracking is not mature enough......

"I've learned a lot of things by now......"

"This subspecies black dragon is far from being comparable to the previous blood demon race ghosts, with my ability, I really don't have much confidence that I can track down this black dragon that is deliberately hiding. Xia Zuo smiled apologetically at everyone.

Xia Zuo felt a little stressed.

Just like Xia Zuo did before tracking the Blood Demon Seed.

But at that time, Xia Zuo didn't know much about the world of the soul descendants, let alone how the blood demon soul ghost existed.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Xia Zuo was naturally more excited than stressed.

And now, Xia Zuo seems to be under more pressure.

In fact, when Xia Zuo got the black crystal transformed from dragon scales and played with it in his hand, he tracked down the source of the black crystal for a while.

The result is......

Xia Zuo, he couldn't see anything.

Xia Zuo didn't see a clue to the source from the black crystal as usual, the black crystal lay quietly in Xia Zuo's palm, except for a faint glow, there was no change at all.

That's why Xia Zuo felt that with his current ability, he might not be able to successfully track this subspecies black dragon, probably because the subspecies black dragon has some kind of power that can prevent tracking.

"It's fine. Anos stepped forward, came to Natsuzo, and patted Natsuzo's left shoulder.

"After all, your soul bloodline is only colorless level, and the soul content is too small, coupled with a lack of experience, it is normal that you can't fully exert your abilities. ”

"But...... Aren't we still here?" said Anos, his eyes gentle.

"We've got you covered this time. Anos smiled faintly at Natsuzo.

"We will gather all the black crystals we got before, there are so many crystals containing the soul of the subspecies of black dragon, and the power generated by the resonance will be more conducive to you to track. ”

"Plus our strength...... Our mental power. Anos said slowly.

"Your soul tracking is essentially a specialized application of the Soul Descendant's psychic power, even if you are not yet comfortable with it...... Or maybe you can't use it to the fullest. ”

"But as long as we add our mental power"

"Strong mental power can break through all difficulties and obstacles. “

"Then you may be able to successfully break through the obstacle of the subspecies black dragon and successfully track it down. ”

Xia Zuo looked at Anos and Jasmine and the others in front of him in a daze.

I saw that the corners of Fred's mouth next to Arnos were slightly raised, and he looked at Xia Zuo with a smile, and Ian also straightened his waist and did not lean against the wall as usual, but stood up straight and stared at Xia Zuo's side.

Elsa, on the other hand, smiled softly at Natsuzo.

Through the cloak and hood, although Jasmine's face could not be seen, Xia Zuo could also feel Jasmine's gaze.

yes, everybody's looking at me.

I'm not alone.

I still have all of you here.

Why do I always think I can't do it alone?

Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly in his heart, and then smiled lightly at Jasmine and nodded.

"Good. Xia Zuo said seriously.

"I'll do my best. ”

"So do you start now?" asked Natsuzo.

It's a bit stressful, but with everyone here, I'll be able to make it anyway, right?

"Okay, now then. Anos bowed slightly.

With a wave of his hand, a ray of light suddenly flashed from Anos's spatial ring, and then changed into a black crystal.

These are the black crystals that Anos put away before.

At the signal of Anos, the others also took off the black crystals that they had retained.

These black crystals are stacked together.

Jasmine stepped forward and temporarily gathered these black crystals together as if they were elixir materials.

These black crystals converged together, producing a certain resonance with each other, and the aura they emitted suddenly took on the appearance of the huge black crystals from before.

Xia Zuo looked at Jasmine in surprise, he didn't expect that Jasmine, a soul-descended elixir master, still had this ability, originally he thought that this kind of operation might require a soul-descended craftsman to do it.

After a brief moment of surprise, Natsuzo withdrew his surprised gaze.

It's time to focus on that.

Put it on the matter of tracking the subspecies black dragon.

"Then I'm starting to use soul tracking. Xia Zuo said to the people in the dark curtain.

"Good. Anos nodded first.

Xia Zuo walked up slowly.

Xia Zuo put his palm on the whole black crystal, and then slowly closed his golden eyes.

Extraordinary ability, soul tracking!

At the same time that Xia Zuo launched the soul tracking, everyone also came behind Xia Zuo.

Subsequently, everyone's spiritual power was injected into Xia Zuo under the guidance and control of Soul Descendant psychiatrist Elsa, helping Xia Zuo to further exert his extraordinary abilities.

Soul Tracking!

Go on!

Xia Zuo's spiritual power used the black crystal as a clue, and traced the root of the black crystal with all his might.

After what seemed like a long perceptual track.

Xia Zuo suddenly frowned slightly, he felt as if he had tracked something.

At the same time, the entire black-and-white world that Xia Zuo could see when he used his ability suddenly fell into darkness.

Endless darkness.

And in this endless darkness, there seemed to be a pair of huge golden vertical pupils suspended in mid-air.

The huge golden pupils shimmered like jewels, but at the same time they also implied a certain majesty that shocked all things.

This is...... What the?
