Xia Zuo read Edith's name and looked at Edith across from him through gritted teeth, unable to say anything else for a while.

Jasmine just stood silently on Xia Zuo's right side and didn't say much.

Ian clenched his dagger and looked at Edith waryly.

Fred, who was relatively close to Neil's corpse, had a purple light in his eyes, and seemed ready to use the extraordinary ability of "demonization" at any time.

After all, Edith's strength was far superior to that of any of them, and without using the extraordinary ability of "demonization", Fred really didn't have the confidence to fight against Edith.

Even if the negative effect of "demonization" is relatively large, Fred can't think about it so much.

You can't just give up this extraordinary ability.

"Brother Xia Zuo, what's wrong?" Ithis was still smiling, as if she hadn't noticed the hostility of Xia Zuo and the others, but it could be seen from the fact that Edith no longer called Xia Zuo "Brother-sama" like last night, she was actually a little unhappy with Xia Zuo's reaction now.

She noticed Xia Zuo's abnormality, but for some reason, she just didn't want to say it directly, she had to wait for Xia Zuo to speak.

"See for yourself. Xia Zuo's voice was inexplicably cold, and he didn't seem to have any emotion.

Xia Zuo glanced at Jasmine and Ian, who wanted to observe Neil again, and Fred, who was standing in the innermost part, also glanced at Xia Zuo, and then nodded slightly.

Xia Zuo and the others retreated to the side, revealing the interior of the house.

Although the distance is a little far, the eyesight of Edith as a soul descendant is naturally clear.

An unusually distorted male corpse appeared in Edith's sight.

At the same time, Edith also noticed a faint glow on the male corpse.

It was the glow of soul energy.

Edith, who is also a soul descendant, naturally won't fail to see it.

Edith walked into the house, seemed to observe Neil's body with interest, and then turned her gaze to Xia Zuo again, and spoke slowly.

"You think I did it?"

Edith's voice was flat, which was a good attitude for the others, but it was a world away from when Edith had treated Xia Zuo last night.

"What do you think?" Xia Zuo gritted his teeth, "There are traces of soul energy on his body. ”

Only the Soul Spawn can leave this soul energy on Neil.

Even if an ordinary person uses a soul weapon to kill Neil, there should be some wounds on Neil's body.

But it didn't.

Neil's body was directly distorted by a strange force, which was obviously not something that ordinary people could do with soul weapons.

It could only be a Soulborn.

The Soul Descendant's extraordinary abilities make it possible to do just that.

"The Soulborns in this castle ......"

"You're the only one left but us at the Night Veil, Edith. Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Do you not trust me so much?" Edith no longer continued to call Natsuzo her brother as she had done before, proving that she seemed to be in a worse mood.

She felt very displeased, obviously she was so good to Xia Zuo, but why did he still disbelieve her so much?

Edith thought about it, but suddenly shook her head in her heart.

Also, after all, he is just a suspicious "sister" who suddenly appeared to him.

It's not a biological brother or sister to him.

If it was a brother or sister, maybe he would have decided to continue to believe me, right?

But I just somehow recognized him as a suspicious character for my brother, and I didn't make any sense at all.

It's normal that he won't believe me.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't want to be hostile to him like this.

After all, it was just a misunderstanding.

I can try to prove to him that I'm not a murderer.

As long as he says yes, I can prove it to him.

I really don't want to be an enemy with him like this.

After all...... In a sense, you are indeed my brother.

Edith said in her heart.

But Xia Zuo didn't seem to give Edith a chance.

"Do you think I can trust you like that?" Natsuzo's voice was low, as if to hide the remorse in his heart.

"In this castle, apart from us, there is only one soul descendant left. Xia Zuo emphasized.

"Maybe there are some other soul descendants lurking in this castle, and I'm just the target of his frame-up. ”

"I can prove my innocence. Edith said earnestly, "Take advantage of this man's dead body." ”

She really didn't want to fall out with Xia Zuo like this.

“...... Hehe. Xia Zuo shook his head noncommittally, "Proof?"

Xia Zuo suddenly burst out laughing as if he had heard something funny.

Perhaps because of too much remorse, Xia Zuo at this time is far from usual.

"How are you going to prove it?" Xia Zuo said sharply.

"Transform Neil from a dead man to an undead, and then have him prove your innocence?"

"You can make the undead at will, and I'm sure you have the ability to transform the dead Neil into the undead. ”

"But what's the use of that?" Natsuzo shook his head.

"The undead are just special beings at your disposal, you can completely manipulate the undead Niel not to tell the truth, just based on this, how do you prove your innocence?"

Edith seemed to be speechless for a moment, and she frowned slightly.

It turns out that Edith's appearance is indeed very delicate and beautiful, even if she is frowning at this time, she has a unique style, which looks touching.

It's just that Xia Zuo at this time is not in the mood to appreciate this at all.

Natsuzo clenched his fists.

Xia Zuo felt that his anger was spreading at this time, and he could explode at any time.

He wanted to do something to Edith.

Because Neil must have been killed by Edith.

But he couldn't do it.

With Edith's strength, even ten Xia Zuo may not be Edith's opponents.

Edith is a powerful soul descendant known as the undead girl.

With Edith's strength, if she really wanted to kill Natsuzo, it might be possible that Edith could kill him when the two first met.

In addition, Xia Zuo couldn't help but think of the appearance of Edith before, the little sister who obediently regarded him as his brother, and he felt a little overwhelmed...... Why? Why did she do that?

Xia Zuo looked at Edith, who was speechless for a while, and felt a little at a loss for a while.

But seeing that Edith couldn't say any other way to prove her innocence, Xia Zuo's resentment finally prevailed over Xia Zuo's reason.

He couldn't just endure it anymore.

Even if I'm not Edith's opponent, I can't do it if I look at Neil's killer like this and don't do it.

Xia Zuo thought.

Xia Zuo slowly approached Edith.

Edith had a wry smile on her face.

I didn't expect to be calculated like this.

But...... I really don't want to be your enemy.

We...... It should be the same kind of talent pair......

Xia Zuo had already taken out the soul dagger on his body, and suddenly stepped on his hind foot hard, and in the sight of everyone's vigilance, he rushed towards Edith!

In a split second.

Xia Zuo flashed in front of Edith.

In this raid, Shazo's dagger could have easily slice Edith's neck.

But Xia Zuo stopped in front of Edith.

Because Edith she didn't hide, she didn't even use her soul essence.

Just stood there quietly, letting Natsuzo attack.

A little blood appeared on Edith's slender neck, and Natsuzo's dagger seemed to be just one line away from slicing Edith's neck, all because Edith didn't dodge.

“...... Why?" asked Xia Zuo, whose dagger stayed on the line in front of Edith's neck, a little confused and puzzled.

"Why?"

Edith smiled.

"Didn't you want me to prove my innocence?"

"That's my proof......"

"My dear brother. ”

Edith winked playfully, as if the soul dagger didn't exist at all around her neck.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned.

"For such a reason?" Xia Zuo felt a little headache.

"yes, I'm just standing here. ”

"If I really were the murderer, I don't think I would have to risk my life to do it, would I?"

"I could choose to break with you and go to war or leave. ”

"Anyway, with my strength, if I want to leave, there shouldn't be anyone else who can stop me, right?"

Xia Zuo was stunned.

Xia Zuo's reason, which had been lost for a while, returned to him.

Oh, yes...... If Edith really was the murderer, she wouldn't have had to, and I wouldn't have been able to put a dagger around her neck like I did now......

Maybe it was a mysterious Soulborn who appeared and killed Neil? It's unlikely, but it's still there.

“...... Maybe I was really impulsive. Xia Zuo slowly removed the dagger.

"But...... To prove your innocence in this way, should you say that you are simple and rude, or that you are adventurous? What if I do do it?"

"You can actually retreat for a while, and then come back when you find evidence to prove your innocence, silly girl. Xia Zuo grabbed his hair and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Xia Zuo seems to be really starting to look like an older brother who teaches his sister.

"I believe in you. Edith smiled slyly, "After all, my brother doesn't look like the kind of person who would really hurt a killer easily. ”

"Brother, you're still a good person who is too gentle after all. Edith smiled softly, and the smile was very moving.

On the side, seeing that Xia Zuo and Edith did not really clash, Jasmine and the others stopped.

Hearing this, Xia Zuo took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then finally spoke again and asked Edith a question.

A very critical question.

“...... Why, are you so good to me? Would you like to believe in me?"

"Just because of that ethereal smell you spoke of earlier?"

"That's right. Edith smiled lightly, "It does have something to do with the smell of your body, brother. ”

"It's just ......," Edith's voice suddenly softened.

"Brother, that smell of yours is not ethereal. ”

"I can be sure. ”

"I'm not mistaken. ”

"Actually, we're the same kind of people. ”

"Someone who has lost something. ”

"In a sense, you're really my ......"

"My dear brother. ”

Edith smiled movingly.
