Chapter 40 40
"A lieutenant? The Ghost Nebula Organization? What's that? Explain in detail everything you know. Otherwise, you would have known the consequences." Tenku said in a low voice, making the black-robed person shiver in fear.
"I understand! I'll tell you! I will tell you everything I know about the organization!" The black-robed person nodded like a pecking chicken and started to tell Tenku about his organization.
The organization is called Ghost Nebula, and its members are only illegal Realizers. These people want to join the organization because they are lured by wealth and genetic serum every month. Besides, Realizers with specific titles would get special privileges, but he didn't know more details about it.
The black-robed person's job was only to riot in the city using monsters, but he didn't know the organization's purpose because his position there was the lowest. That said, only a few people in the organization knew about it.
The organizational structure is like a military rank based on the Realizer phase; each can be distinguished by the color of the masks they wear.
Lieutenant : Meteor (white mask)
Captain : Asteroid (dark green mask)
Major : Moon (blood red mask)
Colonel : Planetary (purple mask)
General : Star Cluster (black mask)
Tenku fell silent after he heard the explanation from the black-robed person. He saw the black-robed person wearing a spooky white mask, meaning his position in the organization was lieutenant and the lowest.
He did not expect such a terrorist organization to operate in Japan. Moreover, the Holy Union and other official organizations don't seem to have taken any strict measures on the matter.
"Where is your base, and how many Realizers with the Star Cluster phase are in the organization?" Tenku asked. He had to dig up as much information about Nebula Ghost as possible just in case he had to deal with people from that organization.
Tenku is not afraid of having to fight a Realizer with a Planetary phase. But if the opponent was a Realizer with the Star Cluster phase, he could only escape if he didn't want to be killed unless the Devourer Scythe or his cultivation broke through.
"I… I don't know." The black-robed person shook his head.
"You don't know or don't want to say it?" Tenku squeezed the black-robed person's right hand and was ready to tear it at any moment.
"Argh! I... I really don't know! I swear! My position in that organization is low, and I have no right to know that information!" The black-robed person panicked when he felt Tenku's grip getting stronger and his arm hurting a lot.
"Then where did you receive the instructions from that organization from?" Tenku frowned when he saw that the black-robed person answered truthfully.
"We receive it from the smartphone, but their messages use complicated encryption and will disappear a few seconds after the member reads the instructions." The black-robed person answered in a voice trembling with fear from Tenku's eyes on him.
Tenku glanced at the severed hands of the black-robed person as well as the ones that were still attached to his body. He made sure that the person wasn't wearing a dimension watch.
"Give me your smartphone, and don't think about doing anything else I don't tell you to. Otherwise, the next one will be even more painful." Tenku warned coldly. He had to check the correctness of the black-robed person's answer. Even though that person said he didn't dare to lie under his threat, Tenku couldn't fully believe it.
"Yes!" The black-robed person moved his hand inside his black robe. Then he took out a smartphone with the latest model and gave it to Tenku.
Tenku covered his palm with Qi and looked at the smartphone. He didn't want his fingerprints to be left on it. Fortunately, the smartphone was unlocked, so he didn't have to bother asking the black-robed person. Then Tenku carefully checked the contents without leaving a single thing behind.
But just as the black-robed person said, the incoming messages and call logs were blank. Tenku also did not find any other important files on the smartphone and threw them back to that person.
"Then, how did you get that parchment? Isn't that an item from another world? Did you team up with people from other worlds to wreak havoc on earth?" Ziel asked coldly. As he recalled, the parchment was a magic item from another world, and no human on earth could make it. So he was sure the organization was in contact with people from another world, usually called The Crossers.
"I didn't know about it either! I got the item through a third party, and the delivery location is very random and hidden." The black-robed person closed his eyes and prepared to endure the pain, thinking Tenku would not believe his words and would tear his right hand. But no matter how long he waited, the pain didn't come. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tenku standing in front of him and had already let go of his grip on him.
"Okay. That is enough. I have no business with you anymore." Tenku said calmly and walked away from the place.
After Tenku's figure disappeared and confirmed that he was gone, the black-robed person got up and took out his smartphone.
"I have to report this to the organization! I want to make that person's fate more miserable than mine and die painfully!" The black-robed person gritted his teeth and intended to type on his smartphone screen. But he suddenly stopped his actions when he saw a hand pierce his chest while holding his still-beating heart.
"Eh?" The black-robed person looked back and saw Tenku was there.
"Did you think that I would release someone who would bring harm to me? You are too naive as a member of a terrorist group. I don't care about your terrorist games. But since you have disturbed my living environment by releasing monsters in that area, you have to pay a very high price." Tenku whispered and then squeezed the heart until it burst.
"You…" The black-robed person said in fear, but he couldn't continue his sentence because his consciousness quickly disappeared and fell into darkness forever.
Tenku pulled out his hand from the black-robed person's body and swung it to remove the traces of blood. But not the slightest blood stuck to his body because Tenku coated himself with Qi. He was always careful in his every action, which was also one of Wang Haotian's teachings.
After confirming that the black-robed person was dead, Tenku immediately left the place before anyone came and saw him.
***
After Setsuka returned from school, she got the same question from Kohana, who was waiting for her at the school gate. But this time, she answered honestly about her failure to find the student and made her little sister make a sullen face all the way back home.
Setsuka couldn't help but sigh at the situation because her little sister didn't even budge when she comforted her with her favorite food. She realized that her sister really wanted to meet the person who had saved her immediately. But Setsuka doesn't have time to take care of Kohana's problems because she got another mission from her organization regarding the appearance of the goblins in the city.
Tenku had already removed the monsters' corpses and left the bodies of the black-robed person for the Realizers of the official organizations to investigate and hunt them down so that the same incident would not happen again. But the people of the organization had Monster Detectors installed at various points in the city to detect the appearance of the goblins even before the monsters made a fuss.
When Setsuka arrived at the location where the goblins had appeared, she was confused because there wasn't a single monster she could find in the area. Then she remembered that it was not far from Tenku's apartment.
"Has he returned to his apartment?" Setsuka muttered and looked at Tenku's apartment.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I think about that first-year student? I should focus on this mission because it will be dangerous for the locals if the monsters continue to roam in this area." Setsuka shook her head and tried to get rid of her thoughts about Tenku. But before she could take a step, Setsuka heard someone calling her.
"Setsuka!" a girl wearing a Suisei High School uniform jogged over to Setsuka.
"Hmm? Kaede? Are you on this mission too?" Setsuka turned her head and smiled when she saw her best friend.
"Yes. I also got a message from the organization about this mission. Did you happen to be looking for those goblins? If so, I'm doing the same thing, but I still haven't found any of those monsters." Kaede nodded slightly and then looked around the area. She joins the same organization as Setsuka.
"Then, we should look for it together. If you're coming from that direction, we'll have to look for those goblins in that area." Setsuka subconsciously pointed to the location of Tenku's apartment.
"Yes. I think it's better to avoid unforeseen danger like what happened to you yesterday." Kaede agreed with Setsuka's words after remembering that her friend was almost injured by a goblin attack. Then the two started walking down the street under the already darkening sky.
"If you were with me, then the same situation wouldn't have happened since you were the one who would be protecting my back." Setsuka knows Kaede's abilities very well. Even though her friend looks soft on the outside, she is powerful. Because of that, Setsuka could confidently entrust her back to her.
"Of course, aren't we the best duo in Suisei High School? If we fight together, we can even fight or defeat the Realizer in the asteroid phase." Kaede puffed out her chest proudly. Since middle school, she and Setsuka often trained together and strengthened their cooperation in combat. At school or in organizations, their combination is feared by the Realizer in the Asteroid phase.
"You are right." Setsuka nodded when she heard those words, and they chatted along the way, inspecting the area. But then she suddenly stopped her footsteps when she saw a familiar boy walking towards her carrying a shopping bag.
