Howl can feel Anna's sincerity towards wild animals who have a less fortunate fate. But all life in the world is not his will or his power. Howl is just an angel carrying out an order.
"God is very cruel." Howl said as he walked to pick something up in a small drawer.
A piece of memo paper bearing an address—walking back to Anna who still looked so gloomy. A facial expression that shows despair. Howl throws the memo at Anna who is immediately shocked.
"What is this?"
"You said you wanted to catch the guy who killed the street cat? That's his home address," Howl said.
"How did you get this? Where did you get it?" Anna asked, looking suspiciously at Howl.
"If you don't want to, give it to me!"
Howl tries to take the memo back from Anna's hand. But Anna quickly avoids Howl.
"Hye! Why I'm so emotional. I'm just asking,
"Your mouth does ask questions, but not your eyes." Howl said with a flat expressionless face.
Anna just chuckles—avoiding Howl's creepy look in his eyes. Before his life ends in this place, it seems he must leave immediately.
"Looks like I've got to go!" Anna said as she moved off the couch—hurrying to walk towards the door.
Howl is silent as he folds his arms—his eyes follow towards Anna leaving until she is lost behind the door.
***
Anna immediately ran into the open elevator, still the moment she reached. Her breath was breathless.
"Almost, I had to be more careful with him …" Anna murmured while setting her breath—pressing the elevator button to close.
The elevator doors closed—started to go downstairs. Anna slowly became calmer, the silence she felt in the elevator alone.
Until suddenly the elevator stopped on the 10th floor. A man who stepped into the elevator. The man stood before her. Anna began to feel a cold, uncomfortable temper as soon as the elevator door closed. A mysterious aura that feels dark and gripping.
Anna doesn't want to put any prejudice on a foreign man, just that her instinct feels there's something that a man in a black suit is hiding.
"Is your name Anna?" asked the mysterious man.
Anna's suspicions are getting stronger. Her instinct as a police officer is never wrong to feel the situation is not right. As a detective, Anna began to prepare strategies so that she could protect herself.
A situation like this might make it very difficult for him to escape. Her position in the elevator was very unfavorable. But Anna doesn't want to feel pessimistic about fighting. Dead or alive, she must survive.
"You fucking!"
Anna spins quickly, one of her legs straddles a tall man. Intended to take him down, but the man managed to get back to his feet in front of Anna.
Anna's hands are both ready to fight. But suddenly the elevator was wobbling—shaking, along with flickering lights. Anna almost fell down with a strong shock, but she managed to reach the elevator handle—grasping her very tightly with panic.
The shock inside the elevator won't stop, it seems that the elevator will soon fall free and be destroyed. Anna can't see any hope for her life.
"Who are you!" Anna asked, trying to be strong even though the elevator kept going free without control.
"How dare you ask me who I am." said the man in such a conceited tone. You will die soon, weak man!"
When Anna had given up on her death, suddenly the elevator lights stopped. Keep Anna quiet for a while, and so will the cursed creature. The look on that guy's face was like talking if he knew something Anna couldn't figure out.
The atmosphere inside the elevator immediately turned gripping, out of nowhere white smoke began to appear filling the elevator. Then Anna panicked to see the smoke begin to cloud her vision. Until then the elevator doors began to open slowly.
White smoke immediately blew out of the elevator until Howl's figure appeared, standing opposite the cursed creature.
Ana's feeling of relief when her eyes see Howl behind the elevator door. She could smile small, her mouth calling Howl's name but Anna was immediately made silent when the two mystical creatures suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What the fuck! They're gone! Where are they going?"
Anna panics, rushing out to find Howl. Looking around the hallway of the apartment, but she sees no one—just the silence and one of the little children walking out of his house.
"Did you see two men coming out of the elevator?" Anna asked the confused-looking girl.
The little girl just shook his head.
"Okay. Thank you. You better go back to your house. I saw two strange men, hurry up!!" Anna said trying to urge the little girl to go back inside her house immediately, for the child's safety.
Despite the confusion, the little girl began to turn around—walking back to her home. At least he had to listen to an adult who was talking seriously.
Making sure that the little gilr enters his house, Anna rushes to find Howl. His position was on the second floor, only one floor left for her until the lobby of the apartment. But now Anna chose to use the emergency stairs so that the terrible incident did not happen again.
Anna's breath was panting down the stairs, her heart was still shaken at the moment of the incident in the elevator that almost cost her life. Anna tried to run as fast as she could to get out of the apartment lobby. But Anna didn't see anyone there.
Until a flash of blue glare came from the top of the apartment. Anna put her head around looking at what's going on up there. The 25-story apartment building is hard to reach.
"Looks like they're there!"
Anna decides to run back into the apartment—up to a 25-story stairwell to make sure that the blue light is Howl and the cursed creature.
"I have to stop them immediately!"
On the other hand, the two creatures that give each other the power they possess. In both hands they have fire of different colors. The cursed creature has a fiery red glow, while Howl has a blue flame.
"Why do you want to protect that woman so much? Even in the woods, you're willing to get hurt to save that weak woman? Why? Do you have any interest in humans?"
A deliberate look at Howl's anger.
However, it's not that easy for Howl to be ignited by anger only with the intonation of that annoying tone of speech. Howl even smiled a little when he realized that the cursed creature only wanted to play games with him.
"Why? If you're getting stronger, you can do whatever you want. Lucifer..?" Howl asked.
A creature that transforms into a half human being and half a cat. From the appearance of fangs in its mouth, the nails were sharp and both eyeballs turned bright red.
Lucifer laughs so hard at Howl's words that he really wants to fight with himself. Within seconds Lucifer's face changes—looking full of anger at Howl, who still seems so calm.
"Do you want to see the buildings around you destroyed? Or … You want to see that woman die in front of you?" Lucifer asked.
"I don't think you're that strong. Try me, the world has rules you can't touch." Howl scoffed at grinning with pride, retorted Lucifer.
Howl's words further enraged Lucifer—the fire in his hands grew bigger. An undeniable rule. He knows more than anyone, if he doesn't have the power to destroy anything in the world.
His greatest enemy is not Howl, but a god who has everything in the universe and who created him. His anger must return to the ground to protect his cause.
"How dare you show up," Howl said.
"You won't even catch me, will you? That woman... She'll be your weakness and I'll come back to kill her. Remember, Lucifer said, giving Howl a threat and then disappearing along with a red fire.
Howl remained silent while calming himself, until the fire in both hands slowly disappeared. The threat that made Howl worry, if Lucifer was really going to kill Anna. Even Lucifer's killed so many innocent people, it's likely that Anna will be killed.
Anna is one of the humans who can get her to complete her assignment before her Guardian contact ends. But if Anna gets killed, maybe she'll never be able to catch Lucifer and finish the job.
