In a different place to the north of Eldelius city. A man wearing black clothes entered a room within a very unique building. There, the man walked towards a room in there. Slowly the sound of his footsteps was heard and he arrived at a hall that looked quite dark. On the other hand, Ilya and Leo were investigating information about the whereabouts of one of Alice's students in the past. They both searched various sources on the internet by entering a dark web that sold various information. There, Ilya finds a clue that reads the "Six Pillars of the Heart of Eternity." As soon as I saw the web, it contained information that wrote ancient records. Leo who can read it then translates everything. In an information that only contains the journey of a soul that ends sadly. Because the contents did not match what they expected, the two finally decided to meet a homoculus whom Ilya believed might have known the information. was not far from the southwest direction of Eldelius. With such reasons, Ilya decided to contact him because he happened to know someone who of course knew of his whereabouts. Leo then gave a reward to the informant by giving a lot of money. According to the information he had gathered so far, they seemed to be after the Death Book. Where there is written a lot of information related to death. Leo once read a book that told of an old man with a vengeance inside him that cursed everyone he hated. Those affected by the curse later died that same night. The man was supposedly using a spell he learned in the book of death. The story became a mere fairy tale among ordinary people. Leo is no exception, who is an archaeologist as well as a former indigo child who was forced to close his sixth sense due to stress.
"Are you sure that person can help us?" asked Leo who still doubted Ilya
"Yes. Definitely helps. If not, just kill it, right."
"Are you crazy? You think taking other people's lives is easy?”
"That person doesn't deserve to live if he doesn't know that fact, right."
"What are you talking about?"
“Since when did you become like Gabriel?”
"What are you saying. Of course I'm different from that idiot.”
"If that's the case, you should have followed what I said."
"Whatever. Oh yeah, after finding Alice's student what are we going to do?”
“Updating the seal.”
"How to?"
“It can only be done by me. You don't have to worry. Oh yeah, on the way maybe I'll also do a seance. You don't mind?”
"I do not care. I wouldn't be able to see it anyway."
"Good. Now we better get Gabriel."
"That's right, must have realized."
The two of them rushed to the hospital to meet Gabriel. Arriving at the hospital, they immediately entered the room where Gabriel was being treated. When they got there, they saw Gabriel as if he had just seen a ghost. His face was pale accompanied by cold sweat on his face. Ilya then looked at the wound and there was no infection. They both looked at him in surprise until Gabriel told them both.
"You probably won't believe it," Gabriel said
"What's impossible to believe?" ask Leo
"I think it's haunted."
"What thing?"
"The thing I always carry with me."
"Speak clearly. What do you mean? what thing? don't piss me off," Leo said
"Gold pocket watch."
“Did you find it in the grave? How could it be haunted,” said Leo
“I saw it in my dream. It's similar and again that girl appears going to kill me."
"Oh my god you had another bad dream."
"What kind of dream?" ask Ilya
"Dreams where I met her and she was going to kill me."
"Looks like you really have a problem," said Ilya
"I'm not crazy. Really."
"That is not what I mean."
"So what?"
"You'll find out later. You're quite complicated Gabriel," said Ilya
"We'd better get going. Your condition is getting better right?” Leo asked, looking at Gabriel's leg which was still bandaged.
"I can walk."
"Good. There is no more time."
"You are right."
The two of them then took Gabriel out of the hospital. The doctor also allowed him to go home because his condition had recovered. Arriving at the headquarters, they immediately discussed what to do next. Currently, Eldelius' condition is still as usual, being stirred up by various events. The most surprising thing was that so many people had disappeared. The authorities are looking for their whereabouts to the best of their ability. And again members of human protection organizations have also made further movements. Leo was then surprised by Jake who suddenly called him and asked him some questions.
"Hello,"
"Hello, Leo. How about over there? Have you guys found anything yet?” ask Jake
"There are a few things we have to confirm. Previously, their whereabouts were still a mystery. Because their appearance is unpredictable. So we haven't done anything yet."
"Oh yeah no problem. Are you all right?”
"Of course."
“Mckena has already sent a signal to me. So, you guys move as planned.”
"OK. We'll do it. Oh yes, we also get help from someone. For that we are both very grateful to him.”
"Somebody? Who?"
“That person is Ilyasviel Strauss.”
"Good. You did a good job.”
"Certainly."
After that, Jake immediately hung up. Leo then walked into a room which was the three of them's study. There, Ilya and Gabriel were resting. All this time there was something Leo was curious about. Therefore, he always takes actions that require a lot of information to be obtained. The death of madame who is both his boss and teacher makes Leo unable to forget it. not only that, the incident that had happened to him so far was also a small form of his determination to make himself a member of a human protection organization. Gabriel then removed the bandage, the scars from the surgery were not very visible and because it had healed he had to take it off. Just a moment ago, when he was remembering how he got the gunshot wound, Gabriel saw the man who attacked him was wearing a strange ring bearing the hexagon. Because that's what made him wonder about it. until Gabriel finally remembered something. The symbol of the hexagon was described in an ancient book at Simon's residence. However, Gabriel did not ask what it meant because that was why he was even more confused.
"Oh yeah, you two do you remember anything about the hexagon emblem?" ask Gabriel
"Symbol?"
"Yes. An emblem. I saw it somewhere. What do you think?"
"I think it's Pandora's symbol," said Ilya
"Pandora?"
"Yes. There are several symbols used. If it's a dark hexagon. It's probably Pandora. I investigated it for a while because there was something I wanted to know.”
"How did you do that investigation?" ask Gabriel
"Summoning."
"What? are you crazy? Summoning spirits for information?” said Gabriel with a surprised face
"So what? It's a lot easier than asking a living person."
"You said it was Pandora? It's getting more and more interesting," Leo said
“When are we going to start seeing that person? how about tomorrow?" ask Ilya
"Agree."
"Okay. You better sleep. Because that person is quite troublesome.”
Night fell, they immediately got ready for bed because tomorrow they had to start their morning journey by meeting someone. The clock shows 10 o'clock at night. It doesn't feel like time has gone too fast. a day that is always filled with fear makes them all have the courage that is quite capable. Leo, who was still awake, checked the equipment in his big bag. Some time ago, he bought a lot of weapons for self-defense and also put up a fight. Since he didn't have the power of Ilya, that was what he had to do. Somewhere, in a bar that is around the area, some people are excited about the theater show that will be held this week. Those in the VIP room were apparently very interested in it. people getting excited and impatient made the atmosphere even more noisy. In addition there were several groups of people who came there in groups and made those who were drinking look at him. Some of the people looked strange and they moved towards a room behind a door that was there.
"Look, who are they?"
"I've never seen them before. Are they new customers?”
"Wait a minute, right... there's nothing wrong with that," someone said
