I viewed the lab coat that was on the rack with grievance. Taking it and putting it on. The white lab coat reminded me of all the memories I had during those days. I stepped out of the house and bid farewell to everyone. Aylin was waiting at the corner of the street, waving her hand to grab my attention.
I followed up and started walking down with her. I kept looking down at the ground and Aylin noticed my eyes weren't watching the road. She grabbed my hand and lifted my chin. Aylin told me that everything was going to be alright and that she would be here for me.
Her warm hands gripped my cold ones tightly and intertwined themselves with my fingers. She then pressed her body up against my arm while walking down the streets together with me.
"Aylin, you think they are still alive? Somewhere out there?"
Aylin stood still and had a puzzled look on her face.
"Maybe it is because they are still alive that you couldn't revive them? They are still alive out there!"
Aylin looked at me and smiled.
"That's maybe so!"
I took her hand and told her we needed to go find them as soon as possible.
"But where are we going to look? They aren't in Nautilus anymore, and neither of us has the power to detect them."
"Can you wish to know their location?"
Aylin pondered my question and looked out into the distance.
"Maybe… but I will need to recharge first, after that, I can see if it works."
I smiled and took Aylin's hand.
All the hotels in the area were still closed due to the incident so we returned to Devina's house.
I was hoping that Devina was just sitting on the couch playing some of her games and Sekito standing in the kitchen with a bottle of whiskey in hand. But when we opened the unlocked door, no one was inside.
It was night and I still had a few things I had to do before I ventured out to find Devina. But knowing Devina, if she is still alive, can't she just teleport to us? She have portable dimensions at her disposal so that would be a breeze for her. Why isn't she here then? Is she trying to do something? But what would she doing with a sick Emovi? Wait… if Emovi is still alive then I still need to deal with Zerstörer.
I gotta go make sure…
Aylin was at the stairs waiting for me, when I got up, she took my arm and dragged me into the guest room.
In the underground city, it was warmer than ever, the warmth had been trapped under the city causing a temperature spike. It seemed the undergrounders were already adapting to the environment because they were playing and selling stuff as usual.
But I had to be more careful last time, I didn't even think of the possibility of an ambush by Zyo. She is the president of the underground after all, running into her would spell trouble. I navigated through the underground corridors until I found the building I was searching for.
"Emantel shells."
It was a factory specializing in making weapons for war, most commonly their signature yellow artillery. Sneaking through the backdoor I went inside. There were heavy machinery and loud sizzling sounds. There were hundreds of people working in long lines. A converbelt carried stuff to them and they fixed the orders.
I went up some stairs and found the manager's office, I pulled out a small knife and sneaked in. The manager came into the room a few minutes later and sat down on his chair.
"Where is the boss?"
Holding my knife up against his throat and slightly cutting it, he started shaking before saying that the boss was at his mansion having a meeting.
The manager opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing there, except a few drops of blood running down his throat.
I sauntered towards the meeting place and finally found it. It was a mansion on the outskirts of the city. A few guards saw me so I displaced them with a few blows to the back of their heads.
The house was luxurious and filled to the brim with antique and vintage furniture. Classic and old paintings covered the hallway walls. Ancient scripts of literature and science were found in the library.
Then I finally heard voices. The voice of two men and a woman. They were talking calmly with each other before they sensed something.
"So you know, there was this incident happening in the royal courts of Fukviyu…"
"I sense your bloodlust… come out freedom."
I stepped out from the shadows and saw Zerstörer, Viego, and Zyo sitting together at a table with tea and biscuits.
"Welcome to the party Vivshi! Zerstörer outburst.
Then a frown grew on everyone's faces.
"But you aren't invited, incarnation of death."
