◤╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍◥

〝 8:02 AM, Lungmen Guard Department. 〞

Wei Yenwu was at the door of the L.G.D headquarters, upon entering, he was immediately greeted by Ch'en who looks like has been waiting for him.

"Swire and your supposed target are in the underground door there." Ch'en pointed at a certain door at the very back of the station.

Wei Yenwu was a bit puzzled at this, what does she mean by "supposed target"? He also expected Swire to greet him instead of Ch'en, but he still procceded to the door anyways, with Ch'en walking by his side too.

When they opened the door to the underground of the Guard Department, they were instantaneously greeted with an uneasy feeling that both of them noticed.

"..Did you feel any pressure when we entered this room, little Ch'en?" Wei Yenwu asked.

"I did notice it, but it's probably just our minds, let's get going." Ch'en replied to him in a stern tone.

Wei Yenwu nodded and took the lead while walking down the stairs and into the corridor.

When they reached the end of the corridor, they were greeted by an asleep Swire, and the anomaly who has only 2 colors making up it's figure, red and black.

It was awake too, sitting on a folding chair with it's arms and legs crossed, while gazing at them with those damned crimson eyes.

Wei Yenwu felt a shiver down his spine, as Ch'en felt more uneasy at the presence of this creature.

They managed to gather up the courage to advance, the pressure didn't seem to be increasing, it was a feeling that is telling them that something unfortunate is going happen to them.

Suddenly, Swire woke up from her slumber.

It took a couple of moments for her to realize on what is happening around her, until she suddenly sprung up from her chair and bowed to her superior.

"Aghh! my sincere apologies for falling asleep here! I was too busy guarding your target!" She said in a frantic tone.

Chief Wei looked down at her mood and said; "It's alright, officer Swire.", only to return his stare back to the entity that lies behind the iron bars.

..This thing looked like it can break those bars like twigs if it wanted to.

"Who is that.. abnormal Sarkaz that has been observing me for a considerable amount of time?" Wei pointed at the caged entity.

Swire gestured a hand for Zorn to stop, he, surprisingly, immediately obliged, ceasing his gaze and fixating it on the right wall instead.

"They are the black sphere that you had asked me to investigate, it doesn't really feel comfortable when it gets stared at by people, and Ch'en ordered me to lock it up in this cell just in case if he escapes." Swire elaborated to them.

Ch'en and and Wei had the look of surprise and shock drawn on their faces, especially Wei when he realizes that the sphere he saw yesterday was real, and is a person.

"..I personally gave it the name "Zorn" due to it's intimidating appearance, and yes, it doesn't have any place to live besides this singular cell at the moment." Swire added in.

"You named that thing?!" Ch'en asked Swire with a look of repulse and a perplxed tone.

"Yeah, I gave it a pet name." Swire replied to Ch'en.
