I, Tregear, want to be a good person in my life.

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

After asking this question, Ponyo's already fair face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Two lines of tears burst out of her eyes and ran down her face. Her pitiful eyes made me feel pity for her.

Kirisaki didn't expect that Ponyo would ask such a question.

His lips moved, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Tokugawa Nakano has been missing for two days, and he disappeared at home...

The pool of purple slime found at the home ruled out the possibility that he had left on his own.

Based on this deduction, Tokugawa Nakano's hope of survival is very slim.

But he was not a man of steel. Ponyo's spirit was close to collapse, and he was determined not to make his reasoning and speculation public.

That would be like rubbing salt into the other person's wounds.

Tokugawa Miho supported the almost collapsed Ponyo, looked at Kirisaki apologetically, and then helped her out of the restaurant.

But the sobbing sound that echoed in their ears for a long time made everyone in GUYS feel uncomfortable.

It was not until the sobbing gradually faded away that Tokugawa Mado, who was leaning on a cane, spoke in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, the blow my daughter-in-law has suffered is really too great. No matter how we comfort her, it has little effect."

"It's normal. The young lady cried so sadly. He and your son must have a very good relationship." Kirisaki shook his head, his tone slightly sad.

Tokugawa Asado sighed deeply: "Alas, they were in love freely and lived together as a couple for three years before they got married because of pregnancy. Naturally, their feelings are deep."

"In fact, even if you didn't say it, we all had a vague guess... that the agent must have met with an accident."

"Ponyo knows this, but she doesn't want to accept it."

"In the past two days, she has fantasized more than once that the agent simply abandoned her for another woman."

"How is that possible? Their relationship is so good that they are completely devoted to each other and cannot tolerate another person of the opposite sex."

"Everyone knows that Ponyo would rather her agent go out and have a good time than accept the fact that the agent is no longer alive."

Tokugawa Asado's words were filled with grief, and his voice became hoarse in the last few sentences.

What the elderly cannot accept the most is seeing their loved ones die.

The disappearance of the agent was a huge blow to him.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Perhaps because he was in a too depressed mood, Tokugawa Madou suddenly started coughing violently.

"Father!" The middle-aged man who had been standing next to him immediately went over to support him.

This man was his eldest son, Tokugawa Daisuke.

After coughing lightly for a while, Tokugawa Madou finally recovered.

He waved his hand and said to Tokugawa Daisuke, "It's okay."

"Sorry, I'm old, so I always nag." He nodded to Kirisaki apologetically.

"Coach Kirisaki, I asked you to come here this time because I want your GUYS team to help us find out the truth."

"Even if the agent is dead, I will find out the cause of his death! Otherwise, the child will never rest in peace in his grave!"

Everyone on the GUYS team stood in awe.

If they had some complaints about the time-sensitive business trip at the beginning, they had now completely accepted the task in their hearts.

Not for the powerful Tokugawa family, but just for a grieving father.

"Master Tokugawa, it's still early, let's go check the scene where the agent disappeared." Kirisaki said in a deep voice.

Tokugawa Daisuke immediately replied: "We don't know where the agent disappeared."

"But he was definitely in the castle tower that day and did not go out."

Kirisaki nodded and changed the topic, "When the police came to file a case, where did they find the purple slime?"

Tokugawa Daisuke suddenly realized: "Okay, I'll take you there right away."

Tokugawa Madou bowed slightly to everyone and said, "I'm counting on you."

Led by Tokugawa Daisuke, everyone left the restaurant and went up to the second floor along the stairs made of ancient wood.

After walking along the corridor for a while, Daisuke stopped in front of a door.

He opened the door and walked in first.

Everyone then went in.

What slightly surprised everyone was that the design of this room was somewhat like a sea view room.

A huge floor-to-ceiling window stretches across the balcony. During the day, you can enjoy the scenery through this window. At night, it is also a good place to look up at the stars.

Tokugawa Daisuke turned on the lights and said to everyone, "This is it."

"The location where the purple mucus was found was..." He took a few steps forward.

Two days had passed since the incident and the purple slime had been cleaned up by them, so he could only point to the approximate location based on his memory.

"This should be it!" Daisuke said uncertainly.

Kirisaki observed the furnishings of the room, recalling the pictures from the case records in his mind, and came to the place Daisuke pointed out.

The location of this floor coincided with the picture in his memory, and Daisuke was not wrong.

Kirisaki nodded, and then said to the GUYS team: "Search the entire room to see if there are any other traces."

After receiving the order, everyone took action immediately.

Kirisaki himself was searching, moving around until he came to the French window.

The sky outside had become completely dark. There was no moon in the night sky, only a few scattered stars.

The full view below Nagoya Castle appeared in Kirisaki's sight.

Kirisaki frowned and suddenly thought of something strange.

There were so many people living in Nagoya Castle, why did Tokugawa Nakano have to be the one to go missing?

Why didn't anything happen to other people?

Could it be that this suspected monster is committing crimes in a targeted manner?

Soon, everyone from the GUYS team gathered around.

"Instructor, we checked and found no suspicious traces."

"The whole room has been cleaned. If we preserve the crime scene, we might still have a chance. But now..."

Kirisaki was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is there any similarity with the cases you've seen before?"

Aihara Ryu said directly: "There is no sewer opening in the room..."

Tokugawa Daisuke explained: "This room was originally used for leisure, as can be seen from this floor-to-ceiling window, so when it was designed, there was no sewer outlet..."

Kirisaki couldn't help but frown.

In other missing persons cases, the monsters entered the victim's room through the sewer opening...

But there is no sewer in this room...

Could it be that the monster broke in directly through the gate?

But if this is the case, it would be even more unreasonable if only the intermediary was missing.

Kirisaki looked around and his gaze finally stopped at the ceiling.

He raised his hand and pointed at that location: "Ventilation vent!"

Everyone on the GUYS team looked in the direction he pointed.

"Instructor, are you saying that the other party crawled out from the vent this time?"

Kirisaki didn't deny it, but he didn't confirm it either. He just said, "Who's going to check the situation up there? If they really crawled out from there, there should be some traces left up there."

Generally speaking, vents are not cleaned regularly, so there is a high possibility that traces remain on them.

Turtledove George immediately raised his hand: "I'll go!"

Then he looked at Tokugawa Daisuke and said, "Could you please show me the way to the vent?"

Tokugawa Daisuke was startled at first, then nodded: "Oh... OK, follow me."

Soon, everyone on the GUYS team heard the shouts of George the Turtledove above their heads.

"Found it! There is indeed purple slime in the ventilation duct!"

Everyone on the GUYS team was immediately cheered up, as they had finally found some clues.

Based on the remaining traces of the ventilation duct, everyone followed the map and finally located the bathroom on the third floor.

Looking at the exit of the bathroom ventilation duct and then at the bathroom floor drain, everyone finally figured out how the other party got into the leisure room on the second floor.

Kirisaki thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be just a coincidence. The guy climbed out of the sewer pipe in the bathroom, and then entered the ventilation duct. He happened to enter the leisure room along the duct and met the agent who happened to be in the room..."

Tokugawa Daisuke immediately asked anxiously: "Did you make any new discoveries?"

"Can you determine what the criminal is?"

Kirisaki shook his head: "We can only determine the route the other party took to enter the room, but we cannot confirm his identity."

Tokugawa Daisuke immediately looked disappointed.

"Ah!" At this moment, a scream came from downstairs.

The voice was sharp and high-pitched, obviously someone was in some danger.

The GUYS team immediately rushed downstairs.

Following the source of the sound, they soon arrived at the door of a room.

The door was closed, as if locked from the inside.

"Mom!" The boy's voice sounded again in the room.

Hearing the boy's voice, Tokugawa Daisuke, who arrived late, had no time to catch his breath and immediately showed a panic expression.

"This is my room! My wife and son are in the room!"

Aihara Ryu and Ikaruga George immediately started banging on the door.

But no matter how hard they tried, the door didn't budge.

Hibino Mirai joined in, and with the combined efforts of the three of them, the door was finally forced open.

However, the moment the door was opened, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.

They saw a tumor-like creature wriggling rapidly. The tumor was in human shape and had split into a tentacle, which was trying to grab the boy.

Hibino Mirai rushed into the room first and pulled out a gun.

Seeing that the tentacle was about to touch the boy's ankle, he immediately shot to repel the tentacle and pulled the boy back as soon as possible.

The boy was shaking with fear, tears welling up in his eyes. He pointed at the human-shaped tumor and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"

Ryu Aihara and others also took out their guns, ready to attack the tumor, but just as they were about to pull the trigger, their hands stopped.

Looking at the outline of the human figure and the boy's cries, they vaguely guessed something.

"This guy devoured his mother?"

"Damn it, now I can't just shoot at random. I don't know how defensive this thing is. If the beam penetrates the epidermis and goes inside, it will also hurt the humans it swallows."

Kirisaki's eyes narrowed, and he said hastily, "Hurry up and save him. This creature's digestive ability is probably horrible. It won't be long before the person swallowed by it is in danger!"

"Aim for the edge of the silhouette!"

Everyone took out their guns and started shooting. Every one of them had received professional shooting training, and with Kirisaki's special training for so long, they all shot very accurately.

After repeated attacks, a hole was finally opened in the tumor, and the palm of the person wrapped inside could be vaguely seen.

Kirisaki immediately rushed over and grabbed that hand.

He pulled with all his strength and actually pulled the person out of the tumor.

The woman was covered in purple mucus, and her skin had even begun to turn red and ulcerate.

Seeing this shocking scene, everyone's heart trembled again.

If it had been a little later, the woman's skin would have been completely melted by the other party.

"What a horrible digestion ability!"

"Is this guy the culprit?"

As the tumor was pulled out of the woman, it immediately shrank drastically and turned into a pool of meat paste.

Perhaps sensing danger, it crawled towards the sewer pipe.

Although it is wriggling, the speed is not slow at all.

Everyone immediately opened fire.

Turtledove George directly installed the Capture Torch on the gun, forming a beam of light cage that enveloped the meat paste.

"Well done, George!"

Everyone concentrated their firepower, but found that the pool of meat remained alive no matter how they attacked.

Aihara Ryu stopped attacking and said with an unpleasant expression: "Our attacks seem to have no effect on it. What kind of creature is this? A monster?"

Kirisaki watched carefully from the side, and with his naked eyes he could see the details that others saw.

The attack launched by the GUYS team was not without effect. Those light beams were like sharp knives and they indeed cut the pool of meat.

However, the meat paste recovered at an amazing speed, and it gathered together again the moment it was cut.

So it gave everyone the illusion that the attack was ineffective.

"What a tenacious vitality!" Kirisaki frowned and vaguely associated it with a certain creature in his mind.

"Could it be... a different beast?"

Alien beasts, a special kind of creature that is more difficult to deal with than monsters, possess amazing vitality.

Ordinary weapons and attacks cannot destroy it at all.

If you want to kill it completely, you must break down its body cells into molecular levels.

As far as Kirisaki knows, there are not many beings that can decompose alien beasts into molecular-level attacks, let alone humans, even the Ultra Warriors' ultimate ray has this ability.

While he was thinking, the meat paste suddenly released blue lightning, which directly disrupted the energy of the capture torch.

As the cage disappeared, it immediately drilled into the sewer and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the culprit disappear before their eyes, everyone's eyes were fixed.

"Oh no! We can't let it get away!"

Kirisaki hurriedly ordered: "You two will go to each floor to guard. If you find any unusual movement, call for backup immediately."

"Yes!"
