Three days later.

Clera Baker District, Locke Street Detective Agency.

After two days of rest, the Night Veil finally recovered from their injuries.

Originally, everyone's injuries were actually very serious, and even if they received special treatment, it would take at least two weeks or more to recover basically.

However, because of the influence of the power of the masked man in the Sea of Hearts, the power beyond common sense accelerated the recovery of everyone's injuries, so everyone was able to basically recover in just three days.

And after everyone's body basically recovered, Xia Zuo decided to reveal some of the facts he had hidden from everyone.

It's a matter of time, and the changes in Xia Zuo can't be kept hidden like this.

Xia Zuo's body has already appeared to a certain extent, and even if Xia Zuo does not use the soul essence of the subspecies black dragon in his body, he can't completely stop the dragonization tendency of his body.

For example, Xia Zuo's eyes were affected by the power of the subspecies black dragon, and began to transform into golden vertical pupils, formidable golden vertical pupils.

Although after that battle, Xia Zuo's golden vertical pupils returned to normal before everyone regained consciousness: they changed into the usual golden pupils again, this did not mean that Xia Zuo's golden vertical pupils disappeared just like this, it was only temporarily hidden.

After that, Xia Zuo accidentally found that his eyes had changed into the previous pair of golden vertical pupils in front of the mirror, just like the previous subspecies black dragon, cold and terrifying, which made Xia Zuo feel extremely unfamiliar.

At the same time, I felt an inexplicable fear.

Yes, Xia Zuo is afraid, he is afraid that if he continues like this, he may become a monster.

Transform into a monster that may rival the demon seed.

Just as Fred couldn't fully control his demonic powers, Xia Zuo also worried that he couldn't control this power, and although this power seemed to have long since dissipated, Xia Zuo's inner worry still did not subside.

If you don't control this terrible force...... If you lose control...... Will this power devour everyone? Comparable to the power of the four-winged demon species, even if it destroys the entire Clara, it will be simple, right?

So when the other soul descendants were still there, Xia Zuo didn't have the courage to tell the truth, even if it was part of the truth, he didn't dare.

Because Natsuzo couldn't be sure what their reaction would be.

Regarding the attitudes of the Soul Descendants such as the Lighthouse and the Sunstrider, Xia Zuo could not confirm it.

But if it's everyone at the Night Veil and Edith...... There shouldn't be any problems, right? Everyone should accept me, right?

And...... I always feel uncomfortable hiding so many things from everyone, as if I treat everyone as an outsider.

Xia Zuo thought to himself.

But Xia Zuo didn't have the idea of telling everything to the people of the Dark Night Veil.

After all, judging from the masked man's words, the masked man didn't want others to know about him, so Xia Zuo still decided not to reveal things about him, and only said that it was a mysterious soul descendant passing by, and only revealed part of the truth.

This can also be regarded as a preventive shot for everyone first, so that everyone can be mentally prepared for the changes that may occur in the future.

In addition, the masked man seems to be serious about Edith, and about the masked man, you can find a chance to talk to Edith again.

But that's also a matter for later, Xia Zuo decided to explain it to everyone first.

So, in the living room of the office, Xia Zuo stopped everyone.

"Yo, what's wrong Xia Zuo?" Fred laughed teasingly, "Do you have anything in your heart to say, don't worry about it, I won't laugh at you." ”

"I do have something to say to you......" Xia Zuo looked at Fred's slightly undersmiling face, resisting the urge to hit Fred before speaking.

"Xia Zuo, just say what you want. Anos looked at Xia Zuo calmly, "Some things are not suitable for keeping in mind all the time. ”

"Xia Zuo, can I occasionally say something in my heart to relieve the pressure on my soul?" Elsa, who is a soul descendant psychiatrist, smiled softly, and her eyes as gentle as water suddenly made Xia Zuo feel relieved.

"Brother, say whatever you want, I believe you anyway. Edith smiled slyly.

"I think it will feel better to say it. Jasmine said softly, "I don't disagree with that. ”

"Say it, seeing that you are so serious, I will listen carefully. Ian said with a grin on his lips.

"Hmm...... Then I'll just say it. Xia Zuo nodded.

"That...... Before I say that, can I ask everyone?" Xia Zuo suddenly raised his head and said, "You can tell...... Has anything changed about me now?"

"Change?" Fred's purple pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xia Zuo, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "So, there are indeed some changes in you......"

"What changes?" Xia Zuo couldn't help but ask.

"It's goofy. Fred smiled.

Xia Zuo: "......"

Xia Zuo almost wanted to kick Fred over.

“...... Seriously. Xia Zuo took a deep breath and said word by word.

"Seriously, what's ......" Fred could finish his sentence when he suddenly froze.

The eyes of the others were all focused on Xia Zuo's body, and there was a trace of astonishment on everyone's faces.

The air around them suddenly fell eerily silent.

"You...... Your eyes?" After a moment of silence, Fred finally spoke up, his voice becoming serious, "Xia Zuo, how did your eyes become like this?"

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be ...... Your eyes have changed into dragon-like pupils without you noticing?

"You mean my eyes?" Natsuzo confirmed, "How are my eyes now?"

"Similar to dragons...... No, it's just the exact same golden vertical pupil. Anostifred replied, "Xiazo, how long have you been like this?"

"That's what I want to tell you about. Xia Zuo sighed softly, "I've probably been like this since the death of that black dragon." ”

"I guess it's because I absorbed the power of the subspecies black dragon. Xia Zuo explained, "The soul of the subspecies black dragon should have entered my body in considerable amount, and it may have been more deeply integrated with my body after I drank the Holy Spirit Water brought by Edith. ”

"It was because of this force that I became what I am now. ”

"Actually, it's okay now, but my eyes have changed, and in severe cases, my hands and other parts of my body have even grown black scales, and they don't obey my commands very much. ”

"It often takes a lot of effort for me to suppress them back and get my body back to normal. ”

"That's why I want to tell you about it, and I'm worried that there may come a time when I can't control this power at all. ”

"How could you absorb so many subspecies of black dragons' souls?" Arnos asked with a frown, "Although the ownerless souls will automatically flow to the surrounding soul collections, but if you didn't kill the subspecies black dragons, only a small part of these souls should flow into your body." ”

"This level of soul quality alone should not be enough to cause you to change to this degree. ”

"But the way you are now, it's a complete manifestation of absorbing too much soul matter. ”

"I don't know about that......" Xia Zuo lied a little.

In fact, Xia Zuo really didn't know the specific process.

Xia Zuo only knew that it was Edith who channeled the power of the subspecies black dragon to his body, and he didn't have time to ask Edith about other specific things.

"You can't control the power in your body at all right now, and it's even worse than Fred's. "How are you feeling now?"

"Anos, and whether there is a mental abnormality. Elsa stood up and added.

"For example, have you suddenly felt a tingling or trance lately?" Elsa asked Xia Zuo with concern.

"Physical discomfort or mental angu......ish," Xia Zuo hesitated, "This is basically nothing." ”

"I think maybe the mysterious Soulborn passing by did something to me. Xia Zuo said.

"I feel very relaxed now, and I even feel much more powerful than before, and my mental strength has not weakened, but my body often changes when I don't pay attention, and I have a tendency to become a dragon. ”

"Especially the eyes. ”

"I can easily detect the dragonization of other parts of the body and suppress it in time to restore it to normal, but there is such a thing as eyes turning into vertical pupils...... It's really hard for me to notice, I can't just be there with a mirror all day, can I?"

"Dragonization......" Jasmine whispered, "How do you feel in the dragonization state?"

"Feeling...... Is it the strength of the body?" asked Natsuzo.

"Yes, do you feel like you've changed a lot from your usual dragon state?" Fred asked.

"How so...... I can only say what it feels like. Xia Zuo scratched his head, "I feel that under the condition of dragonization, my physical strength may range from two to three times that of usual. ”

"The increase in mental power may also be more than doubled. ”

"Anyway...... The power is outrageous. ”

"Can you choose dragonization?" Fred asked suddenly.

Fred, can you talk a little more?

I TM will choose to take the initiative to dragonize when I see a ghost, okay?(This sentence doesn't seem to be wrong.,Seeing a ghost, it can be interpreted as seeing a ghost.,Seeing that the ghost's strength is insufficient, so I chose to dragonize.,It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that...... ）

Still, Shazo answered Fred's question.

"Absolutely. Xia Zuo replied, "If I don't take the initiative, this force will take the initiative so much, if I take the initiative, then this force will be repaid?"

"Huh...... Then here comes the key question. Fred smiled, his eyes narrowed, staring at Xia Zuo's golden vertical pupils.

"How much control do you think you have over this force?"

"I mean, the degree to which the power is retracted. ”

"Hmm...... It's more than halfway through. Xia Zuo pondered for a moment, and said with a little hesitation, "It's about a little more than half, which is sixty percent." ”

"While it will dragonize me in situations I am not aware of, such as dragonizing my body while I sleep, it will be suppressed back into my body when I regain consciousness and there is a strong desire to suppress dragonization. ”

"Even if I take the initiative to dragonize now, I am confident that I can suppress it back after dragonization. ”

"That's how it should be very draining on my energy, and I can probably only do it once or twice a day, which should be my limit. Xia Zuo said.

"Huh...... That's enough. Fred smiled slightly, as if he had some interesting idea in his mind, and looked at Xia Zuo with a smile.

"What's wrong? what's enough?" asked Shazo, who was a little flustered by Fred's look.

"Enough for you to be something like me. Fred laughed.

"You don't have to worry too much about the negative effects of dragonization, after all...... Even the most basic soul itself will have a negative impact on the Soul Spawn, and the Soul Spawn has always dealt with such negative forces, and as long as you can control this power, it is the sharpest sword in your hand. ”

"Rather than worrying about this power getting out of control, it's better to give it a nice name and use it well. Fred smiled.

"I want to think about it...... What's the name of it, it comes from the power of the subspecies black dragon, why don't we be more direct. ”

"How about calling this force 'Black Dragonization'?"
