Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 67 Convergence
Clara, Baker District Noon Street, "Order of Steel" security company.
Xia Zuo and the others were still sitting in the living room of the security company, discussing with the three of them in the shadow order.
"Now that we've decided to join forces...... Then we need to discuss how to join forces......" Fred sat up straight, the banter on his face subtracted, and said seriously.
"That's true...... And Fred, do you have any opinions?" asked Adson, looking at Fred with a little curiosity.
"I'm curious to see what the 'little black goats of the Tanagus family' will think ......," Adelson said.
Fred's nickname was "The Little Black Goat of the Tanagus", and some people called him "The Black Goat of the Night" or "The Little Black Goat Outside the Sheepfold", a title derived from Fred's father's nickname, "The Scheming Black Goat", which was used to describe Fred's demonic strength and cunning personality.
Since ancient times, the black goat has symbolized the restless character of the devil and the cunning and changeable.
"Huh...... I don't dare to say what a high opinion is. Fred's purple eyes smiled implicitly, "It can only be said that it is a little humble opinion." ”
"Your Shadow Order has undoubtedly disturbed the spirits in the sewers during today's operation, and now these spirits may still be searching for you in the sewers......"
"It is also possible that traps are being set up waiting for you to come. ”
"If we had acted immediately tonight, we would have been ambushed and trapped. ”
"It's very bad for us. ”
"At that point, we may not be able to successfully destroy the ghosts at all, and it will be even more difficult to even get out of the way. ”
"So I don't recommend gathering to go into the sewers tonight. ”
"I recommend leaving tomorrow after the rest is over. ”
"Wait for work. ”
"After all, if these ghosts are ready tonight, they will be tired tomorrow, and it will be much easier for us to deal with them then. ”
"Besides, it's unlikely that these ghosts will escape tonight, after all, they haven't caught you, and as long as they don't know that they've actually been targeted by our soulborn, we don't have to worry that they might escape. ”
"And as long as they don't run away, we will have a chance to wipe out this group of ghosts tomorrow!" Fred smiled.
"But what if they start to act outside tonight or in the early hours of the morning?" Edson listened to Fred's words and nodded, but thought about it again, and frowned slightly.
"If these ghosts go out to attack humans, we may have time to stop the Shadow Order, but the dark night curtain of your Rock Street may not be able to rush over. Adelson said.
"Just warn the people around you not to go near the sewer for the last day or two, so that the risk of accidents is much smaller. Fred smiled, "I guess with the power of your security company, it should be very easy to stop some people from going near the sewers for a day or two, right?"
"The guys of your security company are guarding the perimeter to prevent ordinary people from approaching the sewers, if there is an accident, notify the three of you, and the three of you will notify us, and if nothing happens, then tomorrow we will deal with these ghosts and the matter will be over. ”
"How's that? no problem?" Fred asked.
“...... Good. Adelson thought for a moment and finally nodded.
... ...
Although Fred had already discussed the matter with Adson, the vice-captain of the Shadow Order.
But Xia Zuo and the others still took a short rest on the side of the shadow order before preparing to leave.
The three Astron escorted Xia Zuo and the four to the door.
"Goodbye, we'll meet at the Night's Watch tomorrow, will we?" said Edson after a pause, smiling at Fred.
"Of course, no problem. Fred smiled and nodded.
"Besides, I'll tell the captain about it when I get back. Fred smiled and gestured to reassure Adelson.
"Haha, that's good, I like people like you who do things straightforwardly!" Astrang on Edson's side couldn't help laughing, and patted Fred's shoulder hard, causing Fred's shoulder to tremble slightly.
Fortunately, Astron patted the shoulder of a "monster" like Fred, if an ordinary person was slapped so hard by Aststrong, I am afraid that the whole person would fall apart directly.
"Just talk, don't be so subconsciously moving, brother. Fred was slapped by Astrang like this, and couldn't help but help but hold his forehead.
"Ah...... Sorry hah. Astron then reacted, then withdrew his hand, scratching his head a little embarrassed.
"Then the matter was decided. The corners of Fred's mouth lifted and he smiled.
"Well, hopefully things will go well. Adelson said.
But then again...... The decision on such an important matter actually came from the vice captains of the two soul hunting squads instead of the captains...... Could it be that you vice-captains want to seek power and usurp the throne?
Xia Zuo saw this scene, and suddenly couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Of course, this is just a joke.
"See you tomorrow. Fred said.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Adelson said.
In this way, the four of Xia Zuo said goodbye to the three of the shadow order, left the security company, and embarked on the road back to the Dark Night Veil.
... ...
Nine o'clock in the evening, Clara, Baker District, Locke Street Detective Agency.
Xia Zuo and the four finally returned to the Dark Night Veil.
Xia Zuo looked at the detective agency in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably at ease.
Oh, by the way, I don't know if the captain is still in the office at this point in time, Fred still has to talk to Captain Arnos about this ghost incident.
If you're not there, it's a bit of a hassle...... You may need to use that special notebook (the previously mentioned contact props, see Chapter 17 for details) to get in touch.
Xia Zuo walked in front of Fred and opened the door first, and Xia Zuo found that there were still people in the office.
Xia Zuo walked in, and Jasmine and the other three also entered the office.
... ...
Inside the office, I saw a man dressed in black carefully sorting out the files and books, and next to the man, there was a strange crow covered in pitch black parked on the bookshelf, motionless like a sculpture quietly staring at the man in front of him.
It was none other than Anos, the captain of the Night Veil.
Hearing the door open, and the sound of footsteps getting closer, Anos couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look at the entrance of the room.
Xia Zuo and the others appeared in Anos's sight.
Seeing this, Anos's expression was still as flat as water, but a smile flashed in his eyes.
Anos nodded to Xia Zuo and the others, welcoming them back
Xia Zuo couldn't help but sigh: "Captain, it turns out that you are really still here." ”
Normally, Xia Zuo had already returned to his residence at this point in time, so he didn't know what happened to Anos after that.
"The captain is still so diligent. Fred couldn't help but laugh teasingly.
"Actually, it's a daily routine. Ian interjected.
"......" Jasmine remained silent and did not speak.
"There must be something important coming to me so late? Instead of gossiping, Anos glanced at Fred, confirmed in Fred's eyes that Fred had something to say and asked Fred.
"Hehe, the captain deserves to be the captain. Fred couldn't help but smile.
"Sure enough, I can always read my meaning in advance. Fred smiled, "Then I'll get straight to the point." ”
"We originally received a strange commission at the 'Night Watch' bar, but then we found out that this commission was not only strange, but also the things involved in the back were not ordinarily big, it was not something that a few of us could solve, and it happened that we met the three people of the Shadow Order at that time, and after some exchanges, I promised to join forces with them instead of the captain to solve this matter. ”
"What is it?" said Anos, frowning.
Something that would make a confident person like Fred feel like he can't solve it...... It's not easy.
"Ghosts. Fred said.
"Lots of ghosts. ”
"Although it is not clear how much...... But according to Adson, the number of these ghosts is at least not a few simple, but a group, and it is not something that the three of them can deal with simply. ”
"And there are special ghosts in these ghosts that are stronger than ordinary ghosts, just like the previous blood demon ghosts. Fred said seriously.
"Even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, these ghosts should be there, and they're hiding in the sewers on No. 3 Norn Street, and Adelson's words are still very credible. ”
Hearing this, Anos couldn't help frowning slightly.
The credibility of the Shadow Order trio is guaranteed, and with their personalities, it's unlikely they'll be able to lie, so that means it's all true - there are a lot of ghosts hiding on the side of the Norn Street sewers, and these ghosts are hiding there.
This is not a small matter.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
And from the perspective of risk, joining forces with the Shadow Order can indeed reduce more risks, so Fred's decision is not wrong.
Arnos thought to himself.
As for the dangerous thing that felt that Fred was involved in the Night Veil...... Naturally, Anos couldn't think so, after all, it was their soul hunter's duty to destroy the ghosts, and it was impossible to say that they would give up at will because of the high risk.
"You're doing a good job. Anos nodded to Fred.
"Since you've decided to join forces with them, you must have planned with them too, right? Anos said.
Fred then told Anos about the plan.
Anos bowed slightly.
"Hmm...... So be it. Anos seemed to approve of Fred's plan, but said more, "But if you need to retreat, you still have to retreat, after all, you are not afraid of no firewood, understand?"
"Okay, okay. Fred couldn't help but nod hurriedly.
"Then tomorrow we will meet here and go to Senior Hunter's. Anos stood up, "I'll let you know Elsa, so you can go back tonight and get some rest." ”
"Uh-huh, okay. Xia Zuo nodded hurriedly.
It's the same with Ian.
Fred smiled and said, "No problem." ”
"Hmm. Jasmine replied, bowing her head gently as usual.
After saying goodbye, they all returned to their lodgings.
... ...
The next day, early in the morning, the curtain of darkness curtained.
Xia Zuo naturally arrived at the detective agency early, but as soon as he entered the door, Xia Zuo found that he was still the only one who hadn't arrived yet.
It seems that he really is the last one in the team to sleep, and he is always the slowest.
Xia Zuo couldn't cry or laugh.
When everyone saw Xia Zuo coming, after a little preparation, they took Xia Zuo and set off to the "Night Watch" bar.
... ...
After some time, Xia Zuo and the others finally arrived at their destination.
As soon as they opened the door, Natsuzo and the others spotted the trio of the Shadow Order - no wonder, after all, the three of them were too conspicuous wherever they walked together.
The three people of the Shadow Order also saw the people in the Dark Night Curtain at the same time, and Adelson among them couldn't help but smile politely at Xia Zuo and the others.
Nodding to Adelson from afar, Xia Zuo and the others walked in the direction of the Shadow Order.
Soul hunters of the Soul Descent, gather.
