Everyone on the GUYS team fell into deep thought.

Obviously, these disappearances are shrouded in mystery.

But as they thought more deeply, they felt more clearly the weirdness and horror hidden behind these disappearances, which was chilling.

Shingo Sakamizu looked at everyone and slowly put down the report. His voice was soft but carried an unquestionable tone.

"The nature of the disappearances is still under investigation, but in order to make everyone aware of the crisis, I intend to classify these disappearances as monster disasters."

"Wherever there are monsters, it's naturally very dangerous."

"As Instructor Kirisaki just suggested, if we want to better explore the truth of this case, it is necessary to conduct a field investigation at the crime scene."

"So, at the invitation of the famous Neon family, the Tokugawa family, we are going to... Nagoya Castle!"

As he finished speaking, Captain Poshui used the remote control device to change the page on the big screen, and a picture of a historic and stylish castle appeared.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the picture, with different expressions.

"That's... Nagoya?"

"It's really Nagoya! It's one of Japan's tourist attractions."

“Has anyone gone missing in Nagoya as well?”

Kirisaki murmured thoughtfully, "No wonder the police invited our GUYS team to cooperate. It turns out that a prominent family is involved."

Kirisaki had heard of the Tokugawa family in his previous life.

The most famous figure in the history of this clan is Tokugawa Ieyasu.

He, Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are known as the three great dipping sauces of the Neon Warring States Period!

Kirisaki wasn’t too sure about any more details.

But in his opinion, these so-called three major dipping sauces are just so-so.

Neon is just a tiny place.

Being able to gain a foothold and become famous in this land can only be considered a slight achievement.

In the history of Dragon State, any famous general could be picked up at random to defeat the three major dipping sauces.

Closer to home.

The castle tower of Nagoya Castle has been passed down to this day and has always been the residence of the Tokugawa family.

And since the Tokugawa family was invited, it was obvious that some of their members had disappeared inexplicably.

With just one thought, Kirisaki figured out the key.

Captain Poshui nodded slightly to everyone and said, "Let's set off now without further delay."

Everyone immediately responded: "GIG!"

In order to investigate this missing case, the GUYS team mobilized almost all of its strength. Only Captain Mizuki Amatani stayed at the base, while the rest of them boarded fighter jets.

It was already afternoon and the sun was setting.

Nagoya is not very close to them, and if they set out now, it would be dusk before they reach their destination.

Ryu Aihara and George Ikaruga piloted the Anse Wings, Marina Kazama and Teppei Kuze piloted the Anse Propulsion, and Mirai Hibino and Kirisaki piloted the Anse Loading.

Three fighter jets took off almost at the same time.

It was not until the plane took off smoothly that everyone started chatting through the communication equipment.

Aihara Ryu said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "I really didn't expect that you were so anxious that you set off on the same day."

Turtledove George immediately agreed: "Who said it wasn't? I thought they would at least rest for one night and leave for Nagoya tomorrow."

"Is this the strength of a prominent family? This is a request that even our GUYS team cannot neglect." Aihara Ryu shook his head repeatedly.

George the Turtledove said as if it was nothing new: "This is the essence of a society controlled by capital and where power is supreme! Don't tell me that you just knew about this?"

Aihara Ryu curled his lips: "It's just a little sigh."

Kirisaki listened to the two people chatting on the communication device and smiled.

What the two said made sense, but he knew that the reason why Captain Sakumui hurriedly asked everyone to rush to Nagoya overnight was not because of the power of the Tokugawa family...

In other words, it's not just because of the power of the Tokugawa family.

More importantly, Team GUYS also has to be wary of possible monster disasters in other parts of Neon.

If these disappearance cases are caused by monsters, then it is naturally within the responsibility of the GUYS team, and it would be great if they could solve them.

But if it wasn't a monster, then if they arrived in Nagoya earlier and found out the truth earlier, they would be able to withdraw and return to the team in time.

Actually, it is because the defense team is short of staff, so they can only be ordered around.

Teppei Kuze said excitedly, "Aren't you excited? Nagoya! It's one of Japan's tourist attractions!"

"I've heard of his fame many times since I was a child, but I've never been on a tour."

After hearing what Zheping said, the others immediately became interested.

"You know what? I haven't been there either."

"Me too!" said Ryu Aihara and George Ikaruga.

Marina Kazama smiled and said, "Then I can just take advantage of work and travel at the same time!"

Teppei Kuze was so excited that he couldn't sit still!

He deliberately lowered his voice, but even so, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his tone: "To be honest, I brought a camera with me this time! We can take a group photo together then!"

"Nagoya has planted a lot of cherry trees, and now is the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! The scenery there must be as beautiful as a painting!"

"We can enjoy the cherry blossoms and visit ancient castles while investigating the case! It's so much fun!"

When the others heard what Kuze Teppei said, a beautiful picture involuntarily emerged in their minds.

A group of people walked under the cherry blossom forest, breathing in the fragrance of the flowers, chatting and laughing...

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but smile.

However, a voice tinged with worry and anxiety broke everyone's fantasy through the communication equipment.

It's Hibino Mirai.

"Everyone, I don't mean to blame you, but... we are here to investigate a case, so let's get the important things done first."

"Besides, Team Member Kinomi and Captain Sakumui are not here, so it's not good for us to take a group photo!"

When the others heard Weilai's words, their smiles froze on their faces, and then they looked embarrassed and felt a little ashamed.

"Future, you are right to remind us to do business first. We are indeed too complacent."

Kuze Teppei pulled the camera in his backpack back tightly and said ashamedly, "Indeed, the captain and Kinomi are not here, so it's not a good idea to take a group photo. I didn't think it through."

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Kirisaki immediately tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, everyone, don't feel too burdened. Isn't traveling all about enjoying the scenery and walking around?"

"Since we're here, we're all near Nagoya, so it won't take too much time."

"Just treat this mission as a trip, relax and maybe you will get something unexpected."

At this moment, the voice of Amatani Kiyomi was heard from the communicator.

"Yes, Instructor Kirisaki is right. Just have fun and don't worry too much."

"By the way, Team Member Teppei, since you have your camera with you, remember to take more nice pictures."

"I've never been to Nagoya, so I'll use the photos you took to make up for the regret of not being able to travel with everyone."

Captain Sakumui also smiled and said, "I'm at the base, so it's hard to give orders on some matters temporarily. But with Instructor Kirisaki by your side, you just need to follow his arrangements."

After a brief silence, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.

This knowing smile was not because he had been tacitly allowed to travel during work, but because he was touched by the mutual understanding among the GUYS team members.

In this mood, the previous embarrassment disappeared.

At dusk, three fighter jets arrived over Nagoya.

Everyone looked down from the sky.

With the help of orange light, a cherry blossom forest sways in the sunset, and the pink petals are tinged with a layer of gold, with a kind of enchanting beauty.

Upon seeing this, members of the Tokugawa clan who lived in the castle tower immediately came out to the lawn to greet them.

The fighter jet landed slowly and everyone walked out of the cabin one by one.

There were six people greeting everyone, and the one walking in front was an elderly man who was about sixty years old.

Behind him, there is a man and two women, all wearing national costumes.

There was a natural arrogance between the man's eyebrows, but his expression was very dull.

A woman in a black kimono with a sad look on her face snuggled in the arms of another woman, looking listless.

A little further back were two boys about thirteen or fourteen years old.

"You are the GUYS team, right? Thank you for inviting me to Nagoya. I am the head of the family, Tokugawa Asado."

Aihara Ryu and the others subconsciously looked at Kirisaki.

Since Captain Sakamizu was not there, they naturally took Kirisaki as their leader.

Kirisaki didn't hesitate and took a step forward.

"Hello, Master Tokugawa, I am Kirisaki, the instructor of the GUYS team. I will be in charge of the team this time. You can tell me anything."

Tokugawa Mado looked Kirisaki up and down with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You are truly a hero at a young age. I never thought you would become the leader of the GUYS team at such a young age. You have a promising future ahead of you."

"Instructor Kirisaki, it's almost time for dinner. I've arranged for the servants to prepare dinner for everyone. Why don't we eat and talk at the same time?"

Hearing this, Kirisaki's eyes suddenly lit up.

He is not very interested in traveling, but if he mentions food, he will not be sleepy.

After a long journey, the members of the GUYS team were feeling hungry. When they heard the words of the head of the Tokugawa family, their eyes lit up.

Kirisaki didn't say anything polite: "In that case, then the guest should follow the host's wishes."

Led by the head of the Tokugawa family, the GUYS team entered the Nagoya Castle.

Just by getting closer, a feeling of being shrouded by a huge shadow swept over the whole body.

Compared to other ordinary buildings, Nagoya Castle really looks magnificent, and it makes people feel solemn just by getting close to it.

Tokugawa Matong led the way and introduced: "Judging from your reactions, none of you have ever been to Nagoya, right?"

Kirisaki nodded: "It's indeed the first time for each of us to come here."

"I understand! I understand! I'm busy with work!"

"We in Japan have no idea what has caused the wrath of heaven and man, and we are plagued by monsters all the time, but other countries don't have that many disasters."

"Neon has the stability it has today, all thanks to your GUYS team who have spared no effort and worked hard."

It is said that old people become more shrewd. Since they met, the head of the Tokugawa family has been flattering everyone.

Speaking human words to human beings and speaking devil words to devils, Kirisaki was already familiar with this routine, so he didn't react much to these flattering words...

But the others felt a sense of pride and honor after receiving continuous praise.

Kirisaki said modestly: "No, no, it's my job to do my job."

His answer was flawless, and in Tokugawa Madou's eyes, a gleam of light flashed.

Kirisaki's performance made him look up to him even more.

Soon, everyone walked through the ancient castle and arrived at the castle tower.

There were more than twenty dishes on a huge round table, and the delicacies on the jade plates made everyone's mouths water.

“What a wonderful dinner!”

“I’m afraid the level of sophistication of these dishes is no less than that of dishes in Michelin restaurants.”

Tokugawa Mado invited everyone to sit down: "Please sit down! These dishes are prepared for you, eat as much as you want."

The members of the GUYS team didn't hesitate and immediately sat down and started eating.

During the meal, the head of the Tokugawa family did not mention anything.

He didn't speak until everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

"Instructor Kirisaki, I'm sure you already know that my youngest son is missing."

Tokugawa Asato had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Tokugawa Daisuke, was the second oldest, his daughter, Tokugawa Miho, was the youngest, and his youngest son, Tokugawa Nakano was the youngest.

The one who disappeared from the Tokugawa family was the youngest broker.

Kirisaki had already learned some of this information through case information shared by the police before arriving in Nagoya.

He nodded, indicating that he already knew: "We already know this, Master Tokugawa, I have some questions to ask you next."

Tokugawa Madou nodded slightly.

With his previous testing and observation of Kirisaki, he was already certain that the young man in front of him was not frivolous or impetuous at all, and was someone who was worthy of entrustment and trust.

"You... or your family, who was the last person to see the agent?"

"Mr. Kirisaki, I was the last person to meet with the agent!"

Without waiting for Tokugawa Asado to answer, the woman in her twenties who had looked so sad before spoke up.

"Who are you?" Kirisaki's eyes fell on her and asked.

"The agent is my husband and I am his wife, Ponyo!"

Ponyo looked melancholy, and it was obvious that the disappearance of the agent had dealt her a great blow, and her face looked much more haggard.

Beside her, another woman gently held her in her arms and patted her back to comfort her.

This woman was Tokugawa Miho.

She had been married for a long time, and when she heard the sad news that her brother was missing, she hurried back home.

Kirisaki's eyes swept across the two of them, and then fell on Ponyo again.

"When was the last time you saw your husband?"

Ponyo answered without hesitation: "Two nights ago, if you calculate the time, it should be 8:30 in the evening."

"Mr. Kirisaki, is it true that my husband is... dead as the rumors say?"
