134 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 1 (1/2)

”Juan, I've got horrible news.” Shintaro Tokugawa burst into Juan's room. Juan was reading a book. He calmly said without even looking, ”What happened? Calm down and tell me properly.”

Shintaro put down his laptop on the table and showed Juan, ”Look at the Gu Family's main house in China. Do you remember that Osiris used his power to seal the evil power in that Four Gods' temple twice?”

”I never forget anything.”

”The seal of Suzaku broke. At that same time, in Southeast China, an unnatural phenomenon was seen. But the moment the temple was sealed by Wei WenYing, the unnatural phenomenon disappeared. I've already told Yicheng to check the area. He was in Japan and rushed to China.”

Juan finally closed his book. He looked serious but he wasn't surprised. ”Wait for his report.”

Six hours later, Shintaro got a call from Luo Yicheng. ”What did you find?” Shintaro directly asked.

”…I apologize… I didn't find anything.�� Luo Yicheng looked embarrassed. He was mad at himself that he couldn't give them a valid report.

Shintaro's jaws dropped. ”You… did not find anything… is that even possible?”

”I'm so sorry.” Luo Yicheng bowed again and again.

”Alright, stop. What did you see there?” Juan calmly asked.

Luo Yicheng described, ”When I went there, I saw blood and forty-one people's body parts, but, there was no head. I also saw the signs of activities by a searching party that investigated the area before me. They didn't seem any normal searching party to me. They left no evidence of who they were. They were very skilled and thorough. I can tell for sure that they are not a part of The Mongoose and they did not kill those people either.”

He continued, ”The killers were very cruel. They butchered those people while they were alive. Except for the dead bodies, everything was turned into dust. There was a building too which is not there anymore. It was also turned into dust. The power is similar to The Mongoose but I can't tell for sure because it's a bit unusual. I've never seen this sort of power.”

He also added, ”The search team came after those people were dead. I think they took those dead people's heads to find out their identities. Surprisingly, the killers also left no clue. If I had been there a little earlier, I could find out what was going on and who came to take those heads.”

”Damn it! If I just could see what it was!” Shintaro slapped the table.

”Since it's a mountain and forest area, there must be animals.” Juan looked at Shintaro. ”Shin, tell Romano to head where Yicheng is right now and Yicheng, wait for Romano and try to find out whatever you can.”

”I understand.” Luo Yicheng bowed once again.

Shintaro took his cellphone. ”I'll call Romano.”

Another ten hours passed and Romano finally called. ”Juan, it's bad news.” He told him everything he had found out.

”I understand. Stay there for now.” Juan looked at Shintaro. ”Call everyone. We must have a meeting.”

Ten minutes later, five of them gathered and others attended the online video chat.

”What happened?” Carlo asked. ”I was keeping an eye on the kid. You cannot just call anytime you want. Shin, I'm telling you, if it's not anything serious, I'll sever your uncooked meat for the rest of the month.” He glared at Shintaro. Carlo was being Carlo.

”Yawn!” Osiris laid back on the reading bed. He sleepily looked at the only online video chat.

Shintaro said, ”It's very serious, Carl. I've checked that in the temple of four Gods, the seal of Suzaku was broken.”

Osiris who was yawning abruptly sat up. His sleepiness flew by the window. He asked in a serious tone, ”When did that happen?”

Shintaro replied, ”Nineteen hours ago.” Everyone was looking serious and listening to him. ”When the seal broke in the temple, an anomalous incident happened in the Southeast of China. I couldn't check the area because, for some reason, it was blocked. I only got the signal. It was a good thing that Priest Wei WenYing was present at the Gu Family's main house. He sealed it with pure blood. As soon as it was sealed, that anomalous incident abruptly stopped. I sent Yicheng there. Surprisingly, he couldn't get any information and so we sent Romano to talk to the animals. And, he got some news for us.”
