Season 2 [Chapter 91: The Apartment]

Nishiyama’s expression was deadpan.

“Just to ensure you won’t come after me. Now you let me go, or there will be casualties. I will see you again after you prove that coordinate.”

Suga’s expression turned serious.

Black smoke began to billow from all over Nishiyama’s body and enveloped him. From behind the black smoke, Nishiyama turned back and reappeared into a hyena Yokai, the size of a hyena in general. With his body still emitting black smoke, hyena Yokai jumped right through, shattered the train window pane beside him, landed hard outside the train, and then hit and destroyed the railway guardrails. Hyena Yokai looked alright and immediately stood up on all fours. Hyena Yokai looked around him; he was now in a quiet downtown area with tall buildings and skyscrapers. He then ran away from Here.

Back to Nellson. Nellson's expression changed in astonishment after seeing the hyena Yokai jump out of the train. Back to Suga, he immediately ran to the control dashboard of this train and normalized the speed. Suga breathed a sigh of relief. The passengers in the train carriage who looked astonished, panicked, or scared were finally able to calm down. Back to Suga, he carefully operated the control stick of the train until it was entirely safe for release, as he thought.

“Damn Nishiyama, but I must admit his actions are weird, like he’s planning something else out of all this. I don’t know what he’s hiding....”

Suga appeared a bit lost in thought. Nellson curiously looked into the loco pilot’s room with his head upside down through the window to Suga's left, which was previously penetrated by the hyena Yokai.

“What happened, Suga? Should I chase the hyena Yokai?”

Suga came to his sense and then turned to Nellson.

“No need; there are other things we have to do.”

Nellson nodded, then pulled back his head and stood back on top of the train carriage while holding onto it with his six wings. Suga walked over to the unconscious loco pilot and tried to wake him up. Not long after, the loco pilot finally regained consciousness.

“Urgh… what happened?”

Suga’s expression turned serious; he took his ID from his overcoat's inner pocket and showed it to the loco pilot.

“I’m a government investigator; just now, there was a near act of terrorism on this train.”

The loco pilot was shocked to hear that and then looked at Suga’s ID for a while. The loco pilot immediately recalled the incident before he fainted.

“Terrorism? Do you mean by the young man with the strange smoky wounds on his face?”

Suga nodded as he returned his id to his overcoat's inner pocket.

“Right, but I have secured everything. I want Uncle to control this train safely to the next station.”

The loco pilot’s expression turned serious; he then nodded. The loco pilot stood up, headed for the train’s control dashboard, and operated the train.

Suga walked to the folding ladder in this carriage and lowered it from the ceiling. Realizing what Suga was doing, the loco pilot’s expression changed in astonishment.

“What are you doing?”

Suga smiled.

“I want uncle to keep secret what uncle see about me. Can uncle do that?”

The loco pilot looked confused.

“I understand.”

Suga smiled; he climbed this ladder and opened the emergency door at the ceiling. Suga climbed out of the train and closed the emergency door. Suga stood facing the train's rear carriage direction, with Nellson facing Suga’s back not too far behind him.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Let’s get out of here, Nellson.”

Nellson replied.

“I understand.”

Nellson spread his six broad and large wings, flew towards Suga, grabbed the protector on Suga’s back, and took him flying. Immediately after, the curious loco pilot opened the emergency exit that Suga had just passed and saw Suga flying with Nellson getting higher and farther away from the train. Seeing Suga and Nellson, the loco pilot was surprised to gape.

“What did I just see….”

The loco pilot stayed silent while watching Suga and Nellson flying higher and farther away, disappearing into the night sky’s darkness.

The current time is 12:10 am. Back to Suga’s driver, he was still watching the surveillance camera footage from his laptop screen while also keeping an eye on the quiet state of the city around him, with almost no cars and pedestrians passing by. Sometime later, Suga and Nellson flew down vertically; Suga, carrying his sheathed black katana in his left hand, landed stably in front of the driver’s car with Nellson, who landed behind him. The driver who saw that looked a little surprised. Suga walked towards the car; black smoke began to billow from all over Nellson’s body and enveloped him; from behind the black smoke, Nellson reappeared with his size reduced to only the size of an owl in general. Suga got into the car, sat in the back seat on the left, and leaned his katana beside him. Nellson flew after Suga and got into the car, then stood on the car seat beside Suga. Suga closed the car door.

“Let’s go home, uncle.”

Suga said with a slightly tired expression. The driver saw Suga in the rearview mirror and nodded.

“I understand, sir.”

The driver started the engine and the car's front lights then drove it away from here. While driving, the driver occasionally glanced at Suga with a curious expression. Suga looked lost in thought while propping up his chin with his left hand and looking far away at the quiet city scenery outside the car window.

“How was your investigation mission, sir?”

Suga immediately came to his sense and turned to the driver.

“Oh right, everything went smoothly. Even though I didn’t manage to arrest the hyena Yokai, I did get a hint.”

The driver looked even more curious. Suga took out the paper Nishiyama had given him from his overcoat's inner pocket. Suga opened this paper with a curious expression.

“I get a coordinate given by Nishiyama, the hyena Yokai. Strangely, he said that this coordinate showed the place where the victim he kidnapped was.”

The driver’s expression turned astonished.

“Kidnapped? Does this have anything to do with the missing persons case he caused?”

Suga’s expression turned doubtful.

“I don’t know either; from the beginning, there was something unusual from the cases of missing people this time with those that have been.”

The driver’s expression turned serious.

“This might be a trap, sir.”

Suga’s expression turned serious.

“I’m also aware of that possibility. Therefore, I won’t carelessly go straight to this coordinate and consider a few things first tonight.”

The driver nodded in agreement. Suga took out a key Nishiyama had also given him from his overcoat's inner pocket.

“He also handed me a key which he said I’ll find out what it’s used for when I get to this coordinate.”

The driver’s expression changed in astonishment.

“You better be careful if you decide to go there, sir.”

Suga’s expression changed in astonishment.

“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Suga looked at the key with a curious expression.

The next day, the time is now 7:00 am. The sky is clear and slightly cloudy. Suga was wearing his school uniform while sitting in the back seat of his black sedan, reading the investigation document on his lap, with his black attache case school bag beside him. Nellson, the size of an owl in general, stood beside Suga and watched him curiously. The car is driving on the highway in the middle of the city, driven by the driver as usual. While driving, the driver glanced at Suga through the rearview mirror.

“Are you sure about your decision to go to that coordinate, sir?”

Suga’s attention didn’t move from the investigation document he was reading on his lap.

“Yeah, I’ve checked it up. This is the coordinate of a three-level apartment building in the middle of a city. Interestingly, the entire building was rented out recently by someone who probably faked their identity. It’s not a suspicious place, and I’m also curious about the hyena Yokai’s intentions in his actions.”

The driver looked even more curious.

Sometime later, they arrived at an L-shaped three-level apartment building with an expansive parking area in front of it. Their car entered the parking lot and parked their car. At first glance, there is nothing strange about this apartment building except for the quiet parking lot without a single car parked. Suga looked around the apartment through his car window and saw no movement.

“This apartment building looks well-maintained, but not a single car is parked in the parking lot.”

The driver also realized that.

“Are you sure about all this, sir?”

Suga nodded.

“Yes, I’m sure. I want Uncle to keep an eye from the outside in case something untoward happens.”

The driver’s expression turned serious, then nodded. Suga looked around him again from behind his car window as if he was making sure of something.

“I will let Nellson with his Yokai form because of the quiet atmosphere.”

Suga took his black katana Yokai weapon leaning in front of the seat beside him, then got out of his car. Nellson flew out of the car and landed not far beside Suga. Suga then closed the car door.
