Volume 1: The Curtain of the Night, Chapter 11: Temporary Members (Part 1)
The next morning.
Xia Zuo was lying on the already tattered bed, his whole body was tired, and the tired Xia Zuo didn't think about it at all.
Anyway, it is estimated that there will be no thieves who will "patronize" this house now, so Xia Zuo simply stopped guarding the door and lay on the bed.
Andrew's situation is similar to Xia Zuo, after last night's battle, Andrew gave some medicine to his injury, and then realized that his injury was really serious, the reason why he didn't feel anything before, it may be because Andrew was a little nervous.
"Knock knock. The sound of a wall being knocked suddenly came, and Natsuzo struggled with the tiredness of his body, and then struggled to turn his head and look at the place where the sound came from, and there was no door for the door.
Andrew also looked over to the door.
I saw Fred, who was wearing a black top hat and dressed in black, standing there, smiling at Xia Zuo and them.
Xia Zuo's eyes widened.
"Why, Fred, why are you here? Don't you want me to look for you at Locke Street in three days?" asked Xia Zuo, with a look of surprise.
Although Andrew was surprised, he was still tired and continued to lie on the bed, as if you continue to talk, and I will lie down for a while.
"Haha, for various reasons. Fred smiled, "I'm here today to tell you something important. ”
"Your captain replied so quickly, and the captain who said he was very strict? Wait...... Wait. Xia Zuo suddenly seemed to think of something, "Could this actually be the news of refusing me to join?"
"yes. Fred made a serious look and said, "It's a pity...... Obviously, I think you have a lot of potential, young man, maybe you will have the opportunity to become an excellent soul hunter in the future, but I didn't expect the captain to refuse like this......"
"That's ......," Xia Zuo looked a little frustrated.
"It's weird. Seeing the young man's slightly decadent appearance, Fred suddenly changed his words and smiled.
"Captain, he agreed. Fred looked very happy, and blinked his purple eyes slyly.
"Fred, you guy!" Xia Zuo slammed up from the bed, came to Fred's side at the door, grabbed Fred's tie, and said a little angrily.
"Well...... It's fun with a little twist......" Fred's hand was full of strange strength, and he easily shook off the hand that Xia Zuo was holding on to his tie, and smiled playfully.
"Now let's get down to business. Fred straightened his tie and smiled, "Captain, he's promised you to be a temporary member of the Nightcurtain. ”
"You can report now. ”
"It's just that there is an important task that may be entrusted to you, a temporary member. ”
What important task will be given to a newcomer like me who doesn't know anything.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's a bit inappropriate to put a newcomer in charge of such an important task, but it's also something that can't be helped. Fred looked out of the house, the morning sun shining softly on the city.
"We need a soul hunter who is good at perception tracking so that we have a better chance of catching the man behind it. ”
"But I don't have any special ability to perceive and track?", Xia Zuo's eyes couldn't help but widen, "If you let me go to the deep mountains and old forests to track a prey, then it's okay, but let me track a mysterious monster that really has extraordinary powers, do you think I can track it?"
"Tsk, that's the key. Fred couldn't help but smile slyly, "We'll make you at least a Soul Descendant who can initially control your abilities." ”
"Although it may be more difficult for you. Fred looked at Xia Zuo with a kind smile.
"Uh...... Wait, what do you want to do? Don't mess around. Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, his body suddenly trembled, and he said a little nervously.
Although even if Fred really wanted to do something, Xia Zuo couldn't stop Fred, after all, Fred's strange power didn't look like a human.
Bears may not be as strong as you...... Xia Zuo complained in his heart.
"Why do I always feel like you're saying bad things about me in your heart......" Fred smiled slightly, although he couldn't know what Xia Zuo was thinking in his heart, but Fred still relied on his intuition to roughly read some of Xia Zuo's inner thoughts from Xia Zuo's expression.
"Ahem...... This one definitely doesn't. Xia Zuo hurriedly explained.
"Okay. Fred let Xia Zo go, "Then let's get back to business." ”
"Although you are a Soulborn like us, you are a rare 'wild' Soulborn, which is probably due to your lack of Soulborn knowledge and inability to fully grasp your own power. Fred grabbed a chair and sat down relaxed.
"Wild Soul Born?" Xia Zuo asked.
"Yes, Wild Soulborn. ”
"Wild Soul Descendants, even those who have not integrated into the 'Soul Descent Society', or who have left the 'Soul Descent Society', will not be able to find your files in the 'Soul Descent Council'. ”
"It turns out that our soul descendants also have such things as society and councils?" Xia Zuo said with wide eyes and surprise.
"Of course, if there are soul descendants, there will naturally be soul descendants organizations and societies, what do you think of us soul descendants as? Unorganized and undisciplined strange races?" Fred glanced at Xia Zuo, and then continued.
"Although it is a little too late for the Soul Descendants to develop their own power now, this is not a big problem, after all, what matters is how to use their own power, not how to gain it sooner or later. ”
"You are a Soul Descendant just like us, so you have an extraordinary substance called 'Soul Matter' in your body, this supernormal substance is hidden in our body, strengthening our body while giving us various abilities. ”
"What I need to do now is for you to be able to sense and control the soul within you, so that you can develop your own extraordinary abilities. I hope you awaken the extraordinary ability to be good at perception tracking. ”
"Then what am I going to do now?" Xia Zuo asked, he suddenly felt a little excited, after all, who wouldn't be a little excited if he could make himself gain extraordinary abilities?
"Well......" Fred smiled kindly, "then a little external stimulation is needed." ”
"Uh, wait, wait, wait...... What do you want to do?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but take a step back.
Andrew, who was on the side, turned his head and glanced at the noisy two, as if because he didn't think Fred would really hurt Xia Zuo, so he stretched out again, and then continued to lie down and fall asleep.
"Haha, just kidding. Fred said leisurely.
Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
"But you still need to make a little sacrifice, don't worry, this doesn't hurt at all for the soul descendant. Fred got up suddenly, and then took out a short, thin, transparent test tube out of nowhere.
"What are you?" Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, looked at the transparent test tube, and asked.
"Of course, it's blood. Fred smiled, "First of all, we need to confirm your soul lineage. ”
"Based on your soul bloodline, I know how to awaken your extraordinary abilities is more appropriate. ”
"That's right. Xia Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, he had not been injured and bled in hunting before, didn't he just take a little blood...... Xia Zuo thought for a moment.
"Do you need a tube of my blood?"
"No, the half-pipe is fine, after all, it's just to test your soul bloodline. ”
"That's good. Xia Zuo nodded, then took out the dagger he was carrying on his body and took the dagger from the black daggard.
"This dagger ......" Fred suddenly narrowed his purple pupils slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.
In Fred's sight, the invisible soul was in this dagger, and the surface of this dagger flowed, exuding great power.
"Soul Weapon......
Fred whispered.
