The mysterious man who seemed to have been waiting for Xia Zuo on the ground for a long time was smiling at Xia Zuo and everyone under the mottled shadows of the trees, with a hint of banter and ridicule in his blue eyes.

"Andrew, why are you?" Xia Zuo stared at the man in front of him in a daze, and it took a while to come back to his senses before he spoke.

"Why are you here?"

"I was worried that something might happen to you, but now that I see you, I'm relieved. Xia Zuo couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh...... How could I have an accident, you care too much about others, Xia Zuo. The corners of Andrew's mouth lifted slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his words, but Xia Zuo didn't hear it.

Xia Zuo, who didn't think much about it, was about to step forward, but Xia Zuo suddenly found that his sleeve was tightly grasped by a hand.

The hand slammed Shazo back.

Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but turn his head sideways, and looked behind him, it turned out that it was Edith who grabbed Xia Zuo's sleeve and didn't let Xia Zuo come forward.

“...... Edith, what's wrong?" Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, and asked Edith strangely.

"Don't go near this person. Edith said solemnly, "He's dangerous." ”

"Why? Andrew, he's a friend of mine. Xia Zuo was a little stunned, "He's just an ordinary human." ”

"Brother...... It looks like you've been deceived by this guy for a long time. Edith sighed softly and stared hostilely at Andrew in the distance.

"I thought I had found you brother a long time ago......"

"But...... I didn't expect him to be earlier than me. ”

"He's been lurking and watching you for so long, my brother......"

"I miscalculated. Edith bit her teeth lightly, looking a little unwilling.

"Brother, you must not trust him. ”

"He must have discovered the secret of you......"

"He came here because of your secrets. ”

"But he doesn't even ...... the Soul Descent" Xia Zuo's voice suddenly froze, Xia Zuo slowly turned his head and looked at Andrew, who was smiling, it seemed that Xia Zuo seemed to sense something, "You...... Andrew ......"

"Your body...... How could there be a soul reaction?" Xia Zuo's face suddenly changed slightly.

Andrew, why does he have a soul reaction in his body?!

Impossible, when Fred first met me, he said that I was his companion and a soul descendant, and Andrew was just an ordinary person, so how could Andrew have a soul in him?

Could it be that he came into contact with the soul after this and became an acquired soul descendant?

But with his character, there is no reason why he would choose to become an acquired soul descendant, and if he is only recently an acquired soul descendant, Edith has no reason to give him such a dangerous evaluation.

What's going on here?

"Huh...... I already have a soul in my body, Xia Zuo. Andrew smiled lightly, "As for why I wasn't recognized as a Soulborn at the time...... Hehe. ”

"That's because I'm deliberately hiding the power in me. ”

"In your power...... It's normal not to see who I really am. ”

"I'm a little sorry, Natsuzo. ”

"Hiding it from you for so long. Andrew said apologetic words in his mouth, but there was no trace of apology on his face.

"Andrew, ......" Xia Zuo stepped forward slightly, and was about to say something, when a heavy hand suddenly placed on Xia Zuo's shoulder and gently pressed Xia Zuo.

"Hunter senior......" Xia Zuo turned around and found that it was Hunter, who was still conscious, who had come to his side.

"Ahem...... Hunter coughed violently, and then his big rough hand gently patted Xia Zuo's right shoulder, "Xia Zuo, don't talk to him anymore." ”

"Why?"

He ...... It was the one who wounded me so badly. ”

"The ...... that attacked us The Fallen. Hunter said in a deep voice to Xia Zuo.

"What?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be startled, and froze in place.

A fallen who seriously injured Hunter's seniors and attacked everyone, threatening Clara's Soulborn...... Is it Andrew?

How is this possible?!

Andrew he ...... He should just be an ordinary person...... An ordinary person.

It's my friend.

How could he be a mad depraved man who belonged to a fallen heart?

"Senior...... Are you sure?" said Natsuzo's voice with a slight tremor, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"There's nothing wrong with that...... I won't admit to it. Hunter nodded emphatically.

"Brother...... Yes, he is the Fallen, and I would not mistake his breath. Edith also said.

"......" Xia Zuo listened to Hunter and Edith in a daze, and then looked slightly at the others who had regained consciousness, and the others did not refute.

Andrew ...... Is this true? You're the Fallen?" Chazzo turned his head and stared at Andrew from afar, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yes. The corners of Andrew's mouth lifted and he smiled lightly, "I am the depraved one you call a degenerate." ”

"Let's get acquainted again. ”

"My name is indeed Andrew...... It's just that my last name isn't actually 'Smith'. ”

"It's 'Beckman'. ”

"Andrew Beckman. ”

"That's my real name. ”

Beckman!

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Xia Zuo remembered that everyone seemed to have mentioned it.

Founder of the Fallen Heart...... It seems to be called "Duke Beckman".

He is a fallen nobleman, the leader of all the fallen.

"You are...... The Duke of Beckman?" Edith frowned slightly, "He shouldn't be so young to ......"

"It's not. Andrew dismissed Edith's speculation, "I'm Andrew Beckman. ”

"That's all. ”

"It's not Duke Beckman. ”

"As for my relationship with Duke Beckman...... Guess what. Andrew smiled playfully.

"We don't want to know what your relationship is with him...... We just want to ask you, what exactly is your purpose?" Edith asked, "even if you degenerates are like a bunch of madmen...... But you still have a purpose and a certain sense of sanity. ”

"Huh...... Right. ”

"I do have a purpose. Andrew's eyes narrowed slightly, "Why did you attack you...... There is also a purpose. ”

"The reason why you're stopping you from looking for the subspecies Black Dragon...... There is also a purpose. ”

"I have a plan. ”

"I'll be waiting for you here...... It's also a step in my plan. ”

"You...... Wait a minute!" Xia Zuo felt his mind get more and more confused, "Andrew......! Could it be ...... You're coming to me for a purpose, and that's a step in your plan?"

“...... Aren't we friends?" Xia Zuo asked with a little stubbornness, still a little reluctant to give up at the moment.

Riley is actually a ghost named Lestri, and his sudden betrayal, Xia Zuo, he can accept.

After all, before Lesterley's betrayal, he and Xia Zuo were just ordinary colleagues.

It's just a commissioner who has been sent from headquarters to help, and will return to headquarters after the incident is over.

But Andrew is different.

Andrew he ...... But Xia Zuo's first friend after coming to this city.

Andrew lends a helping hand to Xia Zuo, who was ignorant when he first came to the city, and becomes friends with Xia Zuo.

But now Andrew actually told him...... Andrew actually approached him for a special purpose?

Why? Why is this happening?

"Yes, my dear 'friend'. Andrew didn't feel guilty at all, and smiled, "And you're still the first step in my plan......"

"If I hadn't met you...... I won't start my program. ”

"It's a fateful meeting, hehe. ”

"I didn't even expect to meet you in this city......"

"Meet you who smells of that thing. ”

"I'm sure you must have something to do with that person and that thing. ”

"That aura on you is much stronger than the girl next to you. "The girl in Andrew's mouth is obviously referring to Edith.

"It's just that you don't know anything...... I'll have to lurk around you, slowly observing you for more information. ”

"In my dealings with you, I confirmed a few things. ”

"You have the power of that person and that thing, but it's not in you, and you don't know anything more. ”

"I'm disappointed that I can't get any more information from you. ”

"But I'm still not reconciled. ”

"I think...... Using you as bait may be able to lure out that person. ”

"Then I might be able to meet the man. ”

"That's why I deliberately undermined the power of your Clara Soulborn, leaving you in a desperate situation when facing that subspecies of black dragon. ”

"In order to force out the power in you, and thus draw out the man. Andrew said slowly.

"Although...... The truth is that the plan is a little out of step with the changes. ”

"For example, I didn't expect this demonic ghost to appear......"

"Honestly...... I was really shocked when I found out about this demon seed, hehe......" Andrew laughed, "but fortunately my strength is not weak...... Otherwise, I might lose the opportunity to sit and watch the tiger fight. ”

"But overall, things are still not out of my control, and I have finally forced out the hidden power in you. ”

"You're moving a lot. ”

"That man...... I must have sensed you. ”

"I want to ...... I'll probably see that guy soon, hehe. ”

"Then when the time comes, your use value will be gone. Andrew said with a smile, but his words made Xia Zuo feel a tingling pain one after another.

"Of course...... If that person doesn't care about you. ”

"Then I'll choose to take the power from you, and to be honest, I've had enough. ”

"It's over, Shazo. ”

"But...... During my time as 'Andrew Smith', I said I was still having fun, it was like playing a game, hehe. Andrew smiled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"How's it going?Xia Zuo, do you have anything else to say?It's better to say it as soon as possible, otherwise you may not have a chance to do it next. Andrew smiled and played.

"......" Xia Zuo was silent for a moment.

What else is there to say?

Maybe it's time for it to end...... Andrew.

Our friendship.

"So...... Let's fight one last time, Andrew. ”

"You don't think I'm going to be tied up like that, do you?"

"And you hurt my companion too...... You should know my character. Xia Zuo said slowly.

"Huh...... I know. Andrew chuckled.

"Come on, then. ”

"This last battle ......"

"I can't ask for it. ”

... ...

Time goes back to the time when Xia Zuo burst out with the hidden power in his body.

Somewhere in Clara's place, a handsome dark-haired man in a black suit hummed an unknown ditty and walked comfortably through the crowd with a slight smile on his face.

Man, he seemed to be enjoying the leisure.

The man sat down on a bench by the side of the road, took out a music box with a delicate carved ancient pattern, opened it gently, and then the melody of the music jumped out of the music box, causing the man to close his eyes slightly and immerse himself in it.

But suddenly, the corners of the man's mouth lifted slightly, like a child who happened to have found an interesting toy.

"Huh...... This force is ...... Funny......" The man slowly opened his dark red eyes and chuckled.

"Let's go and have a look. The man with dark red eyes muttered to himself.

The man with dark red eyes was about to get up, but his movements suddenly froze.

He looked up to see a man standing across from him, also with a sense of mystery all over his body.

The man opposite was also black-haired and black-claded, but he was wearing a strange silver-white mask on his head, making it impossible to see his face.

"Ahhh......h What day is it...... I was able to meet such a noble guest as you in such a place. ”

"It's so lucky. ”

"Your soul ...... What a wonderful......"

"Fascinated me. The man with dark red eyes smiled lightly.
