I feel sad, like really sad. I didn't know it would be this heartbreaking to get separated from your friend, especially your bestfriend. Just then, my heart skipped a bit. When was the last time I felt this sad? No, I remember this feeling but I couldn't tell. This soft touch in my hand, this warm fluffy feeling was woken up again, why is all this sort of feeling keep on wandering around me ever since I saw that red eyes foggy like being.
I know this heartbreaking feeling is slightly different from how I felt to be separated from Lillie, this feeling I started to remember since I first saw that foggy being. And this is all making my head rotate. I slapped both my cheeks, "Don't think useless things, Anabel." Comforting myself, I rested these uncomfortable feelings of mine deep within my heart. I don't know if it will ever waver, but I am a police officer. If I can't even deal with some unknowing feelings, I can't do anything for people.
Looking down, I saw a file with a big 'Z' sign over it. It reminded me of that Z girl during the trip to Alola. Opening it, I saw some disturbing content. "Looker, just what is it?" I ask the man in his suit sitting a bit away from me. Well, duh, I am a senior after all.
Looks like Looker had the same file in his hand. Must be from higher-ups who distributed these files to all police headquarters. "Hmm~ looks like the new criminal team is rising at the city at a phenomenon speed." Blahh~ I made a very revolted sound. I am honest. After what happened in Alola, I don't even want to hear the sound of a criminal. But I still hope that Z doesn't have anything to do with this newly tiger Team Z. Is it a coincidence that their names happen to be the same and all? Or is there someone? I can't tell.
Thus, I opened the file myself before looking into it thoroughly.
After reading for some moments, I honestly find myself getting amazed by the movements this Team Z caused. They came to the surface for like 15-20 days but their reputation was already at the level of those legendary criminal teams like team rocket. And the leader's name is... Ace. And he used to be someone's right-hand man from some no-name gang. Interesting, how did someone from that caliber climb to this level? "So, did they catch this mastermind? Well, I sure do love to meet him."
"Well, from my informative, he was on the crossfire from yesterday's invasion. But looks like he managed to flee away." Looker shook his head, "You know, make it second. Some informant said that he disappeared in the spot. Even with all the police force, all they managed was to shoot a single shot in his shoulder."
Flee... Disappear... "There is teleportation. Didn't they use anything to block the dimensional portal?"
"No, they used. And that's what is more confusing." And looks like there was no problem with devices either. Now that sure was a hella escape. Though thinking that, I kept reading the report. There wasn't much information to read, thus I reached the end pretty soon. There is just so little information about Team Z. And we don't even know how Ace looks like, despite comforting him head-on.
"So, any new information regarding the action about this Team Z?"
"Actually that's the thing. See, looks like they are after 'Phantom's Identification'." Eh! I was beyond shocked. Wait a minute, before that, hasn't the government already recovered that item. I don't have much knowledge of such things but even I know what kind of hellish item that one was. If they are trying to loot such a thing, is it that the device isn't with the government, or are they trying to take it away from the hand of the government?
"Looker, make sure to send the notice?"
"!? A notice?" Looker looked at me with curious eyes.
"Mmm~ Tell them that Anabel will personally handle this situation."
"Huh!?" Looker made a confused noise but I just smiled at him. One and for, all this feels exciting.
After getting back to the room, I once again teleported myself in somewhat a darker room with a bit source of light. There wasn't much to the room, a sofa, a table, and a person. Of course, as a boss, the place I teleported myself was on top of the sofa. Fufu! it is just a kinda amazing feeling that I couldn't describe properly.
"What happened to your shoulder?" It was to the point that there was a hole in his shoulder. Well, though I know since it was shadow demon that moved him out of the shootout. I know he has a hole on his shoulder because I can't really see things like a normal human. It's not regretted though. For my beautiful eyes, everything should be special. Now, you may ask how do I see things as?
Then, saying how I see can be a bit thoroughly or putting it bluntly, detailly. For say, have you seen a blueprint? Yes, similar to how images are formed in those prints, I see things like that. Whether it was Lillie or this guy in front of me, they don't look like humans to me due to all those lines overlapping them. From their veins to small tiny parts, I can detail them to the very core. That's the reason why I knew about the whole underwater lab before Tracey was because I could look at the world differently, from each detail. And that's why I also knew about the teleportation block and where to disable it. Too bad it was destroyed by that old man. And that's also the reason why the 'neet' Lillie mentioned was more gruesome to me. Because it was so detailed that I just can't help to support her word.
Well, everything has its pros and cons. That means I couldn't see how things actually look. And it's hard to intercept what is inside the things. I ain't mentioning physical box but things like monitor and holographic diagrams. I have to catch how the lights and electrons move inside them and made a certain figure to tell what's going on. I realized this the first time when Tracey showed me an escape plan. Honestly, I could tell from his tone that's not all his action was true, so I didn't care much. It took me a lot of practice to tell that much. Well, as amazing as I am, I am quite talented too.
Well, time to focus on work. The man in bandages, suddenly kneels in front of me, asking for forgiveness for disappointing me. And of course, like a monarch, I raised my hand to ensure that his work didn't disappoint me. As for why he is like this, in front of me... Because I am like the existence that of a god to him, a supreme being. Without having to tell, it's all my doing.
"So Ace, I want you to tell me what you managed to learn." All I heard from the shadow demon was what he found. After that, all the information is void to me. Yes, for this Ace, he is indeed a leader of Team Z, but I am the mastermind behind all his actions, which goes the same for its member. Fufu! it just has its noble air of doing things remaining in the shadow. Ace used to be someone from a no-name criminal gang whose boss, by some chance managed to piss me off. And as the good character that I am, I decided to send all those idiots back to their creator, aka gods.
I happened to meet Ace there by chance. Now, now, don't get to the conclusion. I am not gay, nor do I find this Ace guy attractive. There I happened to see that this Ace guy really had so much respect for his boss, literally treating him like there was no one that can compare to this boss. Thus, as someone with Lillie's personality and After Ash's twisted mind, I wanted to do some research.
Research to see, what would happen if I were to convert their belief?
I know I could show them illusions and put false information but could I alter them? Thus, I made him believe that I am the one he follows, and the respect he has for me times ten that of his previous boss. As a result, I succeed. In return, I got myself an extremely loyal dog. Remember, how I controlled Tracey by showing him illusions, yup! it follows the same principle. Well, it was a risky move but I pulled the string. Previously I could only control a single person, but now I could handle two of them. If I had failed, ah~hh~ I couldn't tell what kind of disaster it would have invited.
Ace opened his mouth, bringing me a nostalgic feeling, "Yes, the weapon 'Phantom's Identification' is in a town called Pallet Town right now."
