Silver Blade and Rose

Edwin was not in a hurry to read the information, his eyes fell on the slight blackness under his eyes, and he seemed to be concerned about it naturally: "Did you sleep well?"

"The bed downstairs is really uncomfortable," Zars said honestly without hiding it from him, "I'm not used to sleeping, I had some messy dreams, I feel like I haven't slept much."

"Aren't you used to sleeping in my bed?" Edwin said, "It's hard for me to understand that you don't want to stay and insist on sleeping in the broken bed downstairs."

"..."

Zals thought silently, the bed downstairs is actually not broken, it's just that the mattress is too soft for him to sleep on.

It's not like any bed can compare with Edwin's bed, which seems to be priced in tens of thousands. The bed downstairs is so wronged.

The bread was still warm, not as hot as when it came out of the oven, but it was just right for Edwin.He took a sip of his coffee slowly, and was about to let go of the documents, but Zales had already opened the folder for him first: "You eat, I'll look through it for you."

He glanced at the other party, and Zals explained with a little embarrassment: "It will get your hands dirty."

He ate through a paper bag outside, and now that the bread was on a plate, it would be unhygienic to look through the documents while eating, so he wanted to help Edwin look through them.Zals didn't think there was anything at first, but after seeing Edwin's glance, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be too attentive. Although his face was a little hot, he still insisted on continuing to read the information for him.

Edwin had a good memory, and after glancing at the contents of the folder, he knew that the so-called new information, except for the surveillance screenshot, was old.

"So you want us to catch the murderer?" He raised his eyebrows and told the truth, "The Exorcist Association wants us to be coolies and continue to investigate for them."

Zals actually found out too, but he didn't feel ashamed to say it in front of Sanchez, since Edwin was here at the moment, he didn't need him to analyze it, so he sat quietly and listened to the other party.

As a result, Edwin didn't let him go, and passed the topic again: "Tell me, what should we do?"

Zars was stunned: "Why do you ask me?"

"You said it yourself, we are partners." Edwin said in a natural tone, "Since we are partners, it's too shameful for me to be the only one to express my opinion?"

In the past, he came to lead the action because Zals had just started and was a complete newcomer. Many tasks could not be handled by himself in unexpected situations, so he did everything by himself.Now it's different from before. During this period of time, Zals has grown a lot, and it's time to exercise his independent ability.

It's not that Zals didn't have his own ideas. When he said this, he said a little embarrassedly: "I think it's better to check it out. After all, Xuesting Fern helped us before, and now I have the opportunity to clear him of suspicion. , let’s try to check it out.”

It was probably the word "we" that pleased Edwin subtly, and he nodded in a good temper: "Then check it out."

Seeing how he was too lazy to help the Exorcist Association earlier, Zals thought he didn't want to go, but he didn't expect Edwin to agree so easily.He reached out and took out the screenshot and put it on the top, let Edwin see the guy who was photographed, and explained: "Sanchez said that this guy is not a human being. It may not be that simple. You should think carefully..."

Edwin finished eating the bread, wiped his hands with a napkin, and said casually, "Do you think he can pose a threat to me?"

"..." Zars wiped his sweat silently, "Of course not."

He didn't dare to question Edwin's ability, he just thought that maybe Edwin would find it too troublesome.After all, what they have to face is not only the suspected real culprit of this serial murder case, but also Grant, who is not sure whether he will be able to return smoothly, and the "gate" that Elvins is in charge of guarding. This task can get busy.

Edwin's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to read his mind. He just said, "How about leaving this case to you?"

Zals subconsciously rejected his unreliable proposal: "...no more."

"I believe you can."

While happy to be encouraged by Edwin, Zarles wanted to say that he didn't actually believe in himself.

Then he raised his eyes to meet Edwin's, and couldn't say anything again.

"Just kidding," Edwin finally vetoed what he said just now, "You have full authority to investigate this case, if there are dangerous actions, I will go with you again, how about it?"

"I'm not afraid of danger..." Zales realized that he had misunderstood himself, and quickly explained, "I just feel that my ability is not enough to solve this case. If I fail, you may—"

Edwin caught him sneaking a glance, and immediately lowered his head, even lowering his voice a lot: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Edwin couldn't help laughing: "What should I be disappointed about?"

He put the cup on the table, picked it up again after thinking about it, held it in his hand together with the plate, stood up under Zals' unclear gaze, and extended an invitation to the other party: "Let's go, go and see how Ivan That's it."

Zals quickly followed him up, wanted to take the plate but was avoided by Edwin, so he stepped forward and opened the door, let Edwin go out first, and said: "He was still in the room when he came up just now Sit down, it should be fine."

Edwin didn't want to look at Elvins at first, so he nodded slightly and said, "Then let him stay."

He just walked past the door of Zars' room without turning his eyes, even Elvins, who was sitting inside playing with snakes, was startled.Zals looked at Edwin who went downstairs, and Elvins who got up and came to the door to ask what was going on, and explained for the former in embarrassment: "...he went down and put the tableware before he came up."

Elvins nodded knowingly: "Okay, you don't need to help him talk anymore, I know he just took a look and left when he saw that I was alive."

Zales: "..."

As expected of being a good friend for many years, he knows Edwin much better than him.

Seeing that he stopped and didn't leave, Elvins turned out the snake in his coat pocket and gave it to him again: "I've checked it, it's a man-made thing, that's right. The skeleton of a young feathered snake and the immortality refined by human dead souls Creatures, the workmanship is a bit rough and the strength is not strong, so I will put them in the woods to scare you."

Zals, who was really scared, wanted to say not to take the opportunity to remind him that he is a rookie, but Elvins immediately explained: "It's not that you can't do it, it's just that it's hard for human beings to feel the strength of this soul—"

"I can still feel this," Zarles said sincerely, "I just want to get some words out of its mouth to see if Grant has successfully sneaked into Unsaster's territory."

Elvins looked at him silently for two seconds, and then suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him was Edwin's contractor, and indeed possessed some superhuman powers.

"I'm sorry," he also sincerely apologized to Zars, "I always forget the contract between you and Abel. After all, he always looks like he will die alone, and he really doesn't look like someone who will make a contract with humans. .”

He said this from the point of view of Edwin's best and possibly only friend. Zals was really embarrassed to tell him that he and Edwin were not just in a contractual relationship. He nodded to express his understanding, and the corner of his eye From the corner of the eye, he was desperately looking at the stairs, wondering why Edwin hadn't come up yet.

Does it take such a long time to put a plate? He can't wash the plate by himself, right?

Zals was desperately begging for help in his heart, Edwin came upstairs slowly as if he heard his inner voice, and saw the two of them standing at the door of the room like door gods, and slightly raised his eyebrows to play: " Is this the door that showed you?"

Elvins raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll go back and look at the right door, you guys talk slowly."

"Wait," said Edwin, "how's the snake spirit examination going?"

When asked by him, Elvins turned around resignedly, and began to explain again dutifully: "There is nothing unusual, it should be that the dead souls of human beings have been made into such vicious 'toys', which have no deterrent effect. , the actual strength is not strong, if I don’t like it, I can deal with it, if I like it, just keep it as a pet.”

Edwin glanced at the snake coiled in Zales' hands expressionlessly: "Do I look like someone with such a unique hobby?"

Seeing that he seemed to be handing over the snake to Elvins for "handling", Zars said quickly, "I like it!"
