The middle-aged man confidently stepped into the duty room again after the red mist finally cleared, believing the vampire had used its last card. However, the duty room was empty to his dismay upon entry. The rope laid broken into several pieces with its anti-magic effect lost, and the surrounding walls were untouched. There’s not a smidgen of damage to indicate where the group went.
“Clarity Eye.” The man swiped his eyes and activated a faint glow in those irises. Despite the thorough examination, his ability brought nothing to the table, “They’re not invisible. Did they really disappear?”
The guy became puzzled, completely unable to grasp the situation due to the lack of data in their possession.
“Did the sealing trap been activated?” He asked those behind him with some reluctance.
“Captain, there is no sign of the mechanism being active.”
“… Che~, as expected of number 002, she’s not so simple to capture.” The captain huffed a grunt before crushing the cigarette butt in his hand, “Report back to HQ that we’ve failed to capture 002.”
“Captain, are we going to restore the undead magic here then? What do you want to do with the blood servant created by number 002?”
“Idiot, you still going on about that after missing the timing? Do you want to raise the Monster Hunters’ attention? This mess is none of my concern. Leave it to that Davis to clean up since he created it in the first place. We got enough on our hands from those nutcases in the West.”
The middle-aged man finally stopped using his Clarity Eye and strolled towards the exit: “Have one of us stay behind to clean up our tracks. And don’t let anyone catch our tail! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry in having that vampire messing up Davis’s plan.”
…
The guy and his thugs did not delay in the slightest as they took the special medical elevator to the ground floor. As a result, none of them were able to take notice of the strange shadow under their feet that split apart from the back.
Minutes later, after all was quiet, several figures suddenly jumped out of the darkness from behind a tree. This would of course be Dawn and his party who hid themselves using the cat lady’s ability called Shadow Step. It’s powerful and incredibly useful, but at the same time, it has its drawbacks too. For one thing, it needed other shadows to cling to if they wanted to move while consuming a large amount of energy from the user. Even in the catling’s prime state, the skill could only be maintained for so long, which was why Shadow rarely uses it.
“Number 002? Patty, it sounds like you’ve been targeted by them for a while.” Dawn said after issuing out a long sigh.
Patty didn’t speak for a good moment; instead, she silently stared up into the night sky where a full moon was showing: “The moon is so round tonight….”
“… You only manage to utter that one sentence after acting all deep and mysterious?” Boink took the lead and tapped his foot in a bossy manner.
“If not then what else?” Patty cutely spat out her tongue like a kid getting caught with her hand in the cookie jar, which made everyone burst out into a giggle. “There are so many people out there who want to kill me. Even if I don’t try, there will be a queue long enough to fill the streets here. This much trouble is like a sprinkle for me.”
It was difficult for Dawn to understand her brain circuitry, hence his immediate protest: “Then why pretend to be so deep like those heroines in a drama?”
“Well, I thought it would help the mood since the atmosphere is so heavy. I didn’t want to spoil it for everyone.” Patty confessed with an embarrassed face.
“… The atmosphere is heavy because of you!” This time it was Shadow who couldn’t hold back and cried out.
She’s the one who did all the fighting so the cat lady had the most to complain about. In fact, if she had known things would turn out this troublesome after expecting a simple walk for this trip, the lady would’ve instead stayed at home to study.
