They headed to the control room at the end of the hangar, which had two floors connected by stairs on the side. They walked together to the control room and entered through the entrance near the side staircase. Asanuma and Shinra watched over the situation outside the room.
Inside is a control room with a control dashboard full of levers, gauges, buttons, and a row of monitor screens and computers. Shu checked the control room on the second floor, which also had more or less the same state as the first floor. Shu's attention was then drawn to the documents on a nearby table entitled “Weapons Shipment Log.” Shu took it and then read it with everyone. The following contents of the documents are:
“From: G.O.DS No: xx-xxxx-xxxx-xx
To: Tower Corp. Date: xx May 20xx
Delivery of weapons and ammunition, please confirm the adjustment. (Warning, this document is confidential; failure to safeguard it will result in military-grade precaution).”
This document then describes the types and specifications of the weapons shipped in large quantities, including handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, etc, along with their ammunition. The four of them read these documents together with surprised expressions. Makoto said
“Tower Corp is the corporation I’m investigating and I presume you guys are also familiar with that name too?”
Yukari and Shu nodded. Yukari’s expression turned astonished
“Right, Tower Corp is the corporation that auspices the company where my father works, but why do they purchase guns in large quantities?”
Shu nodded
“Tower Corp is a corporation that Fujiyama suspects are related to Flame Crow so he investigated it, these documents should prove it.”
Yukari’s expression turned surprised. Shu resumed talking
“But I don't know about the G.O.DS, anyone knows?"
The others also appeared clueless. Ken replied
“I don't even know what G.O.DS stands for”
Makoto nodded, his expression turned curious
“Looks like we got a new lead to investigate.”
Their attention was drawn to the countless piles of weapons chests on the view outside this control room-wide window. Ken’s expression turned astonished.
“Whatever that is, buying these large quantities of weapons was even beyond something unusual.”
It appeared that something was bothering Makoto
“You're right, this much weapon is even enough to start a war.”
Hearing that, their expressions all turned serious. Shu checked the computers here, but they could no longer be turned on.
"All the computers here are not working anymore."
Ken’s expression turned curious.
“Of all this, what is the true reason for Uncle Fujiyama giving this place a hint? So that someone can continue his investigation of Tower Corp and G.O.DS?”
Makoto’s expression turned astonished.
“You're right, why didn't he give any clues as to his whereabouts... maybe because he was held captive here or something, but it couldn't be because he made these clues just before he disappeared.”

They all appeared to be aware of the oddity and fell silent. Makoto resumed talking
“From what I see, that's the only clue for now, we can only continue our investigation until we find him.”
Ken replied
"That means the investigation is still ongoing, let's do this."
It appeared something was bothering Shu; he then realized something
“The Centipede Yokai outside isn't by chance here, his connection to this place might give us more clues.”
The others appeared to agree; they then immediately walked away from here.
The current time is 1:15 pm. The sky above the dam is clear and cloudy among the cloud flying the jet-black armored gigantic crow Yokai with sharp and sturdy carvings that previously chased Shu’s and Makoto’s cars. The crow Yokai flies across the sky; dense grayish-black smoke billows from black flames burning its wings and leaving long black smoke trails across the sky. The crow Yokai landed on top of the dam, its size much larger than when it was chasing Shu’s and Makoto's cars. Its talons gripped the top of the bridge over the water tunnel above the dam, in the position of the solid concrete pillars, and cracked them, destroying the bridge's railings. The crow Yokai's weight was even heavy enough to shake this dam when he perched on top of it. Its beak has sharp teeth formed from the armor on its head and is covered with additional armor as a cover that can open and close following the movement of its beak. The crow Yokai's giant body, whose size even reaches half the size of this dam when he spreads his two wings and elements used by him, shows that he is in gods mode.
Above the head of the crow Yokai that had armor forming large horns, a man stood wearing a fox mask that covered his entire face, an ankle-length black overcoat, trousers, boots, a shirt covered in a waistcoat, and carried a black spear with black flame carved pattern on its blades. A strong gust of wind hit his overcoat, waving long to the side. Without hesitation, the fox-masked man jumped down towards the front of this gigantic crow Yokai while throwing his right and left forearms sideways right and left simultaneously, which instantly burst out eight soul chains, four to the right and four to the left, extending left and right as if these chains were the spread of his wings.
The fox-masked man moved these soul chains he staked to the crow Yokai's body to slow down his fall. Unlike ordinary chains, these chains can be formed like flexible poles that slow the man's fall; he used the chain of his right and left hands alternately on the crow's giant body and landed steadily on the bridge over the dam below the crow Yokai. The fox-masked man's attention was immediately drawn to the centipede Yokai in the shallow river in front of the dam below, which had been crushed by a bridge and was still unconscious.
“Being able to defeat the centipede Yokai in his armor mode, these intruders are not an ordinary people or person….”
The crow Yokai above him replied
“The intruder must not be allowed to slip away, knowing this place already.”
The fox-masked man nodded.
“Of course, the mechanism of this secret door can only be opened from the inside after the elevator has been used. We just have to wait for them.”
The fox-masked man stands on the bridge above the water tunnels and watches over the waterfall below. The crow Yokai said
"You watch from here, I'll watch from the sky."
The fox-masked man looked up.
"Yes, of course."
Black smoke began to billow from all over the crow Yokai's body, quickly enveloping its entire body. Due to the large body of the crow Yokai, at first glance, it looks as if a fire has broken out above the dam. From behind the black smoke, the Crow Yokai came out with a size that was only the size of a crow in general, with its body still covered in black armor. A lot of black smoke appeared to stick to the crow's body as it flew and was sucked back into the crow's body. Due to the large amount of black smoke, it looks like black clouds are moving in the sky. The black smoke was getting thinner rapidly as it was sucked back into the crow Yokai until finally, there was no more black smoke left. The crow Yokai continued flying to keep an eye on the area around the dam while leaving trails of grayish-black smoke on its two burned wings. The fox masked man said
"No matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed when he does that."
The fox-masked man looked back at the secret door below him.
Back to Makoto and the others, they walked together past this secret hangar with piles of weapon chests around them, heading towards the large freight elevator. While walking, Yukari said
"Except GODS, I've ever heard of Tower Corp because my father works there."
Makoto looked at Yukari.
"I've also had time to investigate that place, it's not like a company that will buy guns, especially in large quantities."
Shu nodded
"Fujiyama might deliberately work there to investigate something."
Yukari appeared to have realized something
"Maybe, my Father just worked there a few months."
They re-entered the freight elevator in front of them and went back up.
Arriving at the top, the elevator door opened, and they then walked out of the freight elevator. They arrived at the bridge after the entrance of the dam's secret hangar. Before long, a man wearing a fox mask jumped from above in the direction they were standing. By the time they noticed the presence of the fox-masked man, he was already quite close from above Makoto, swinging his spear at Makoto using the blunt end of his spear as his only intention was to paralyze his opponent. Makoto, who has good reflexes, pointed his katana, which was still sheathed up to block the masked man's attack. Their weapons clashed forcefully, and the fox-masked man landed steadily before Makoto. After holding each other attack for a moment, the fox-masked man appeared to have realized something; he moved backward to get away from Makoto.
