In front of the crimson desk, two well-equipped S-level Soul Hunters surrounded Su Mingan on the left and right.
They looked alert, with their hands on the swords at their waists, ready to draw their swords at any time.
Behind the desk, Elras raised his eyelids from the table full of documents. He rubbed his temples, looking a little tired.
"Please explain, S-level Soul Hunter, Su Lin." Elras's face no longer had the previous friendliness.
He looked at Su Mingan with an extremely serious look at this time:
"The barrier can only be broken without injury by the person who set it up. Are you the one who set up the barrier for this morning's incident?"
Su Mingan didn't say anything.
...He is not the one who set up the barrier.
It was only because of Su Lin’s special abilities that he somehow managed to break the barrier without getting hurt.
"Do you want to respond to the interrogation with silence?" Elras stood up, and the silver star on his shoulder was shining.
He put his hands behind his back and wandered around the office. "Unfortunately, in Soul Hunter, silence can only mean acquiescence."
The dull footsteps echoed in the quiet office, and Su Mingan raised his head.
"...You should explain it too, Elras." He suddenly spoke.
Elras tilted his head, a gleam in his eyes:
"What?"
"What's going on with that second cleaning mission?" Su Mingan said calmly.
"What's going on?" Elras asked back.
"There is no hidden soul clan in East District Thirteenth Street." Su Mingan looked at him: "Why are you giving me an impossible task?"
Elras laughed.
He placed his hand on the pistol at his waist.
"The mission I gave you is real. There are indeed soul tribes in Thirteenth Street." Elras said, "The victim has appeared. It is Garde. You also saw that she had huge wounds on her body and was hung up by the soul tribe so cruelly. It was because you neglected your duty last night and did not catch the hidden soul tribe that she was killed."
"Impossible." Su Mingan rejected it flatly.
There is no trace of the Soul Clan on Thirteenth Street at all, so how could the Soul Clan exist?
"...Then how do you know it's 'impossible'?" Elras suddenly lowered his voice.
"I heard that the soul clans can sense each other's auras - they can accurately determine which areas have soul clans and which areas don't."
As Elras spoke, his footsteps made a semi-arc on the smooth tiles, and his leather boots made a slight sound.
He raised his head and stared at Su Mingan who was standing in front of the table: "I also heard that the night before yesterday, a new leader wearing a white mask appeared in the Soul Clan City in the southern district."
Su Mingan looked at him without changing his expression.
"Also, I heard that you mysteriously disappeared the night before yesterday." Elras turned around and waved his hand, revealing a pure white mask. "One of my soul hunters provided me with a screen recording stone. The stone records the appearance of the new leader of the soul clan... This is the new mask I asked a craftsman to make. Do you want me to check it for you?"
He stretched out his hand and held the pure white mask above Su Mingan's face from a distance.
"...Look." He was silent for a moment: "Exactly the same."
He lowered the mask.
The mask hit the table, making a crisp sound.
The office fell into silence.
Elras turned around and went to another room. After a moment, he returned with a crystal stone emitting white steam.
He threw the stone to Su Mingan: "Hold it."
Su Mingan held it in his palm.
After a moment, Su Ming'an spread out his hands, and the stone lay quietly in his palm, its appearance unchanged.
Su Mingan already knew that the detection stone could not detect his identity as a soul clan member.
Elras put his hands on the edge of the desk, seeming to be lost in thought.
"Su Lin. You are the descendant of Lord Su Lin. I used to trust you very much... no matter how strange your whereabouts are, no matter whether you have been to the Soul Clan City." He said: "... but I can't figure out how you control the entire Soul Clan. That guy Sevilla will never surrender to a human."
“…”
"...Unless." Elras turned his head and said, "You are the child of the soul race and humans, right?"
Su Mingan was stunned.
He seemed to hear a very likely answer.
Undetectable by the Detection Stone, no need to consume human souls, with a human scent on his body, but he can smell the scent of the Soul Clan...
The characteristics of the two races are strangely combined in him.
He suddenly remembered the night when Kasan left with Xiaona on his back.
…It turns out there is such a thing as a combination of two races.
"Su Lin." Elras looked at him: "I don't care how ambitious you are... I don't care why you returned to Praia, what you are fighting for..."
"As long as you are loyal to humans, help humans, and have nothing to do with the Soul Clan, I will trust you. I can give you contribution points and the power to act freely.
"Because Praia lacks stability, Praia needs a strong warrior like you. You have indeed made a great contribution to the mission in Huajie and dealt with those rats living in the gutter very well. So I trust you, I need you, and I can give you the rewards and honors you want.
"But now—"
He withdrew his hand and placed it on the pistol at his waist: "...You can't explain how you broke the barrier. I...can't tolerate a leader of the soul clan living in the soul hunting area.
