[Shibuya, Storage Warehouse]
Located in a certain abandoned warehouse that was owned by some specific company, Melfina was currently on guard on all her surroundings as she sharpened the blade of her dagger while slightly glancing towards her hostage Kitamura, Shinji
Apparently such a person was the main target of Kaido all this time, which in turn raised his value in Melfina's eyes
Currently he was all tied up in a strong iron wire and rope that had been found by Melfina within the warehouse while sitting unconsciously on a wooden chair with only a single light dawning on him
As it gets he was clearly beaten up by Melfina in combat thus causing his current situation and at this particular moment Kaido had entered the premises together with Ingrid near him
With his appointment in such conspicuous area Kaido then firstly sent Ayame away with Aileene as he then led Ingrid with him, due to her abilities usefulness in this situation
After all Ingrid's ability was to allow her to see clearly towards her targets inner thoughts or intentions which is kinda similar to mind reading but also quite different
As for Sui she was then left in his mother's house for the time being, since no one would be able to take care of her back in the apartment since everyone is away
As he entered the warehouse, kaido then motioned to Melfina to wake him up, thus following his command Melfina then submerged Kitamura with an overflowing amount of hostility, causing the latters inner agent's instincts to immediately snap him awake
In fact such instincts was quite amazing and high praise for an agent of an organization, unfortunately such benefit of an agent was then used at his disadvantage right this moment
Due to that Kitamura was immediately spooked awake by the heavy pressure as he glared at Melfina and headed towards Kaido and Ingrid's position
Seeing Kaido in the shadows sitting down while staring at him with his red eyes like a devil, he then sneered at him as he sighed dejectedly
"I knew it! I knew it was your doing all along subject no. 099... I presume that this woman is one of your lackeys?"
With that question Kaido kept silent as hestared at him silently, thus forcing Kitamura to break the current atmosphere as he continued to speak
"I know why you captured me and all I can say is that... this is useless and I won't talk no matter what you do to me"
Upon hearing that Kaido slightly squinted his eyes as he leaned on the chair and crossing his legs as if he was amused
"Hoh?!?!"
With that Kitamura sneered once more
"Thats your reaction? Fine then... looks like this will bea fight of will to see who break first, but you should remember im an agent, it won't be easy to divulge information from me"
As Kitamura said that Kaido then shook his head as he laughed
"Haha... ahahahahaha! Your one funny dude, I like your guts, unfortunately that guts is loyalty to something else thus proving that your troublesome"
After that Kaido then leaned forward as he aced his hand on his chin and said
"Sadly i don't have time for your games, plus you said that this is a battle of will and the one who breaks first losses right? But I'm quite proficient at that"
Hearing that Kitamura then kept silent as he stand firm from not talking at all, seeing that Kaido then kept talking
"I've searched about you sir. Kitamura, your quite a proud and achiever person, great and loving wife with a charming daughter... you've got a wonderful family... it would be saddening to just have them be pulled into this right?"
At that moment Kitamura's eyes constricted into dot as heglared at Kaido
"You dare?!?!?" He said while in full fury of imagining something g to happen with his wife and daughter
At that Kaido then smiled as he opened up a video screen with the help of Ingrid's mana to open up a projection which showed his house where his wife and daughter is located
At the same time both Argos and Fengris was at that certain location together with Endou who was currently taking in the live video with them
"Oh! Is that a threat I hear from you mister Kitamura? Unfortunately I'm not afraid of such baseless threat... by the way do you recognize this house
In that moment Kitamura recognized his house as he saw his wife and daughter by the window in the first floor
"My family... dont you dare do anything to them! I swear if you lay a hand on them, I will kill you!!!" He roared upon being threatened by using his family
Seeing his expression Kaido then laughed
"Ahahahaha! Thats more like it! Be angrier! Hate me! Loathe me! Blame me! And also blame the organization who led you to me!" Said Kaido as he tried to probed Kitamura's emotions
After hearing that Kitamura panicked even more as he struggled so hard from his restraints as he glared at Kaido
"If you don't want anything to happen to them, you better tell me eveything you know in 3 seconds"
With that Kitamura straightened once more as various thoughts filled his mind
Currently he was weighing between the importance of his job and his family, but as he thought of this Kaido then started to count
As he reads through Kaido's records, he clearly knew that subject no. 099 wasn't joking at all when he said that he would do something that he would, due to that he was hesitating
"1"
"2"
"...3"
In that instant Kitamura gave in as he weights his family over his job and completely gave in to Kaido, after all he wasn't heartless enough to leave his family to die
In fact he was doing this job for his family after all, thus weighing them heavier
Seeing that he easily gave in Kaido then leaned on thechair once more as he listened to his words
*********
After for what seems like 40 minutes, Kitamura finally finished giving his knowledge about the organization towards Kaido, unfortunately all the knowledge he gave was already acquired by Kaido's group, thus proving it useless
As he finished stating everything kaido the said
"You've done well Kitamura! Unfortunately now that you've revealed such information about the organization, im pretty sure that they'll try to assassinate you and your family after I release you, due to that I can't have you leaving here alive in case you revealed an Information about us"
As he said that Kitamura then immediately reacted on that notion as he panicked
"What?!?! But you said that you'll let me and my family go after I tell you everything!!!"
With that Kaido then notional towards Kitamura as he waved his finger
"You must have mistaken about something mister Kitamura! I never said that I would let you go"
Realizing this Kitamura suddenly roared as he saw Kaido speaking to Argos through telepathy
"Do it!"
**********
On Kitamura's family location, Argos completely received such order as he raised his arm and casted a huge complicated magic circle below the Kitamura family house
With a slight twitch of his eye, Argos that activated the spell as a huge binding light enveloped the whole vicinity completely swallowing up the house together with Kitamura's family
In just a few seconds the light then dimmed as it left a huge crater on the floor and not a speck of Kitamura's wife and daughter anywhere
*********
Seeing all that from the screen tears rolled down on Kitamura's face as he cried in sorrow and anguish for the fate of his beloved wife and daughter, it is as if his whole world crumbled right before his eyes and the perpetrator was right infront of him having fun at his misery
Filled with rage and agony the then roared
"Subject no. 099... no! Riruko, Kaido!!! I'll make you pay for what you've done to my family!!! I swear that on my name that I will kill you!!!"
Hearing that Kaido then laughed
"Ahahahahaha!!! Unfortunately you won't be alive to do just that! So why don't you join your family in their grave?"
As he said that Kaido the raised his arm as he opened up a crack in space and pushed him inside before closing up
Of course Kitamura was unwilling thus he roared at him, but Kaido just smiled as he closed up the space crack
When he disappeared the smile on Kaido face then vanished as he walked away
As for Ingrid who proved that what kitamura said was true, she then looked at the space crack previous location as she said
"Kaido! Your quite a lier too! You didn't kill his family nor did you kill him, you just brought them to the Hidden town to Rebecca"
Hearing that Kaido twitched slightly as he said
"Oh whatever did you mean princess?"
"Dont lie to me Kaido! I've seen your true thoughts, and yet your quite an actor" she said as she inched closer to him
Following that she pinched his cheek as She said
"And thats why I'm attracted to you! Your quite a schemer"
As Ingrid said that she then led the way outside the warehouse together with Kaido and Melfina
*********
Soon after as they got back on Kaido's spacious apartment room, Endou was currently inside the room since his own home was already being surveillanced by the organization
Due to that he was then staying at Kaido's place
Using that time Kaido then glanced at him as he asked
"As for your case... just what did you do to earn the organizations ire?"
Hearing that Endou then smirked for awhile as he placed a USB on the table and said
"Everything that is useful to you"
With that Kaido was then filled with curiosity as he fetched his laptop and inserted the USB
Upon opening it he then saw the following files
"Antimatter is the opposite of normal matter. More specifically, the sub-atomic particles of antimatter have properties opposite those of normal matter. The electrical charge of those particles is reversed. Antimatter was created along with matter after the Big Bang, but antimatter is rare in today's universe
To better understand antimatter, one needs to know more about matter. Matter is made up of atoms, which are the basic units of chemical elements such as hydrogen, helium or oxygen
The universe of an atom is complex, as it is full of exotic particles with properties of spin and "flavor" that physicists are only just beginning to understand. From a simple perspective, however, atoms have particles that are known as electrons, protons and neutrons inside of them. Each element has a certain number of protons in each atom: Hydrogen has one proton; helium has two protons; and so on."
"Quartz cementation is critical to shale reservoir properties, including porosity and geomechanical properties. Due to the small size of constituting components, our understanding on quartz origins in shales is still unclear. Recently, the application of high resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) combined with cathodoluminescene (CL) technique has enabled major advances in our understanding of quartz cementation in shales. A suite of the Lower Cambrian Niutitiang shale samples were selected to study quartz types, origins and the effect of quartz cementation on porosity development by integrating geochemical analysis, nitrogen adsorption, SEM and SEM-CL imaging analysis
The results show that quartz primarily exists as five forms: silt-size/sand-size detrital quartz, siliceous skeletons, overgrowth nucleated around detrital quartz, matrix-dispersed microcrystalline quartz, and aggregates of euhedral quartz. Detrital quartz is characterized by angular shape, and bright luminescene. Quartz overgrowth can be easily identified by the characteristic non to low luminescene, indicative of authigenic origin. Matrix-dispersed microcrystalline quartz is typically less than 5 μm, and co-existed with clay minerals. Quartz aggregates are primarily composed of equate-sized euhedral quartz.
Dissolution and re-precipitation of siliceous skeletons provides the major silica source for authigenic quartz (defined as quartz formed during diagenetic processes) in the Niutitang Formation. The distribution of secondary organic matter, primarily including residual bitumen and pyrobitumen, is always associated with aggregates of euhedral quartz, because the micrometer-scale and well-connected interparticle pore spaces between euhedral quartz crystals provide important storage sites for secondary organic matter, and abundant organic matter-hosted pores (organic pores) are generated during the thermal cracking of residual oil and bitumen to gas."
"Strange matter, or strange quark matter, is quark matter containing strange quarks. In nature, strange matter is hypothesized to occur in the core of neutron stars, or, more speculatively, as isolated droplets that may vary in size from femtometers (strangelets) to kilometers, as in the hypothetical strange stars. At high enough density, strange matter is expected to be color superconducting
it could exist here on Earth already, deposited in our water or tucked away in Arctic meteorites. This strange matter is like a pathogen — infecting and converting normal matter into something altogether different
Strange matter is thought to exist in the interior of neutron stars. These stars are what remain after massive stellar cores have exhausted all their fuel and collapse, birthing a bountiful supernova in the process. Electrons and protons merge into neutrons, reaching a maximum density at a radius of about 6 miles (10 km). Very little is known about the interior of neutron stars, but there is evidence that strange matter may lie just beneath the thin crust of ions, electrons, and gas. Some hypotheses suggest that there may not even be such a thing as neutron stars and that every object we suspect to be a neutron star is actually a strange star."
Upon seeing that pile of information, he then guessed why the organization was searching, mostly because they predicted that Endou might give this information towards Kaido, thus making him even more dangerous
Upon seeing this Kaido then smirked as he said towards everyone
"This is just getting so good!"
