As he watched the man become a husk he took a look at the canvas of the siblings. The tentacles reattached itself to the canvas and the painting became brand new like there was no damages on it in the first place. The siblings inside the painting was still staring vengefully at him but he simply chuckled and pocketed it. He now needed to find a place to sleep, and what a better way to find a place than the apartment of the couples who he just killed.

There was knocking on a wooden door and the parents of the siblings who Gabriel transformed into a painting took a look at the peep hole. They saw 5 people dressed in the official attire of the church of Modesty. They opened the door for the teens and welcomed them in, "Sorry we couldn't make tea for you guests, we only have water." As the mother tried to entertain the teens, the leader among them who was a girl with purple hair that looked quite beautiful stared at the room they were supposed to investigate. "I'm sorry but we're here for business we need to take care of this problem." A man with a husky voice said as he stared at the parents. "No problem we'll let you deal with it since you're the professionals." The husband awkwardly laughed as he pulled his wife away. "John maybe you should be less blunt, it'll help improve the image of the church more." The leader among the group chastised the thin teen with gold hair with the husky voice. "We're here for business not to entertain the people, but yes I'll try to be less blunt, boss Amanda." John casually replied to the girl with purple hair who was named Amanda. Amanda just sighed and dragged her team into the room.

As they walked into the room they smelled a stench that the couples who was usually in the room couldn't. "Ugh it smells like death here, I feel like vomiting." A girl with red twin tails who looked like a elementary student closed her nose, abhorrently stated. The leader Amanda though simply just frowned and continued to stare at the room, while the rest of her team were covering their noise due to the pungent smell. "Rose please find out what happened here or get some clues." Amanda instructed the girl with red twin tails, who simply stuck her tongue out and took a bottle. The bottle looked quite simple with a simple cork stopping the liquid inside from coming out, it was the liquid that looked quite strange. It was glowing blue but there was red patterns in it that formed the shape of a pupil. She took off the cork of the bottle and downed it, there was no taste but it felt quite refreshing. As she downed the bottle there was a change to her brown eyes it suddenly glowed red, and she was looking at the room in a different world. She wasn't looking at the room in same first perspective view anymore it was more of a third perspective like she was spectating herself and every one inside it. As she was in this out of body experience the events started to unravel.

The investigation team inside the room including herself slowly dissipated into blue mist and in the room which was now green came a red storm which took the form of two monsters, one looked like two people stitched together while the other looked simply like a red meatball. The problem with this move of her was that she couldn't get an accurate detail of what the thing actually were she can only get a general outline of their shapes. As she watched the two monsters fight she spotted a black figure that had the shape of a young man leave the room through the window, she tried to follow the young man but she forgot that she only had a limited view of the room and couldn't go anywhere outside the room. As she watched the fight eventually unfold and it seemed like the red ball was going to beat the stitched monster, the red ball started to swell and it eventually covered the room, then suddenly exploded. The monsters were gone just like that and 5 minutes later came back the young man who was in black who took two red rectangular objects with him and left.

As she finished watching the fight she was back into her normal body and narrated the story to the team. When Amanda heard this she was disturbed, the events of the fight didn't fit the way most enemies of the church would fight. "It seems like the young man isn't apart of a group that us churches would usually fight so he is a Gifted who naturally awakened his power instead of learning it from someone unlike us." Amanda commented wisely after she was in thought, the members of the team's face turned ugly. It was easier to fight enemies of the churches as they had documents about their moves and skills but the Gifteds had their own unique skill and if they were careless they could easily die. "Alright stop with the ugly faces, we still need to capture the sinner who committed murder to keep the peace in the city and spread the message of the almighty Mercy." As she said that she took out a purple and seemed like she was ready to fight.
