Not after a along time, Celty arrived giving me a crash helmet letting me get on the motorcycle. I explained the situation to her and showed the location in my phone. Celty didn't wasted any more time as she nodded firing up the motorcycle.

When we arrived at the location we found a very old building right in the middle of nowhere. I looked back at Celty and bowed in gratefulness. "Thank you Celty for bringing me here. I will make sure to repay you." She just shook her head or more like her cat like crush helmet.

She typed in her phone and showed me the screen. "No need to thank me. And also, I'll help. I will make sure you and your friend make it back in one piece." I read and I gave her a grateful smile. Having someone by my side was reassuring. But I don't know if that reassurance will keep existing once we get in. Valerian is no joke anymore. I need to be very careful.

I walked near the old building, with Celty not too far behind me. I checked my surroundings for any cameras. It would be great if we could surprise attack our enemies. But since we already came that far we could also just enter. If there are any cameras, It wouldn't be surprising if they already knew we were here.

I walked along side the wall to the way from the back entrance. When I reached the door I nodded my head towards Celty and with the count of three, we finally opened quietly the rusted door. Before entering fully, I checked for any kind of enemies or anything suspicious around. Luckily for us the hallway was completely empty. I nodded my head to Celty once again and we entered. There was a way for both sides so we agreed to go separate ways. And if in any case something would go wrong, Celty gave me a communicating device so I would be able to immediately tell her.

My shoes were echoing through the hall as the building itself reminded one of a horror movie. It's located in the middle of nowhere, it has broken windows, ruined floors, holes in the walls and no lights. Classic villain base. But it was very strange that I didn't saw guards. They should had at least guarded the entrances. "I have a bad feeling about this..." I muttered to myself as I continued walking this seemingly endless hall.

It was about time I finally saw two guards at the end of the right corner. They were right in front of a door that was locked with a thick chain. I didn't wasted any more time as I covered myself quietly behind the door and took the communicator in my hands.

"Celty, I would believe I found Aoi's whereabouts. But don't come here yet. We still don't know if it's the real location or just a decoy. Something feels really wrong so stay where you are in a high alert." I said believing she heard me. I placed the communicator in my jacket pocket and turned the corner now revealing myself to the guards.

"An intruder!!" Yelled the one raising his rifle ready to shoot. The other one beside him came to the front also pointing his gun at my head. "On your knees! Now!" I faced with cold eyes. I slowly sat on my knees as they still kept pointing their weapons at me. "Get your hands on your head!" My cold eyes never leaving their own. I slowly raised my hands up to my head and then...

"Holy shit!" "What the–?!?" My ability was already active from up their heads so when my hands reached my head they were already being straggled by my strings. I got casually up from the ground and gave a punch to both of them knocking them out. I searched for anything in their pockets such as ID cards, names, keys or anything else that might come in handy.

Sadly, there was nothing useful in both of them. What really did matter though, was that I shouldn't waste time on then. I walked towards the chained lock and broke the chains with my hardened strings. I opened the door and saw Aoi just exactly as I saw her on Izaya's laptop. That means there is a camera inside this room... Just great...

Even being in this situation, I made one reckless move to enter roughly inside the room. It was empty with the only thing at the center being my friend. Running straight towards the unconscious Aoi, I found one camera right at the top of the ceiling and broke it with my ability. My cold eyes softening while facing my friend. "I am sorry Aoi. It's all my fault... I will save you." I muttered to myself as I freed my friend and carried her on my shoulders.
