While Lynn fought valiantly inside the dungeon, accomplishing missions in another world, the unyielding passage of time-pressed forward unabated on Blue Star.
As the evening unfolded, the sky above H City experienced a gradual transformation, painting a mesmerizing tableau of darkness. The sun slipped below the horizon, its radiant glow fading as dusk embraced the land.
Wisps of clouds were tinted with soft hues of purple and orange, reflecting the sunset's final luminous rays. But soon, they also surrendered their vibrancy, taking on a somber gray tone as night descended.
A luminous full moon ascended amongst the glittering stars. The pale orb floated weightlessly in the sky, a beacon of serenity gazing down upon the restless cityscape.
In the center of the city, amidst the forest of blinking lights, stood an imposing construction that served as the headquarters of the H City Special Investigation Bureau. The building towered over its surroundings, its sleek glass exterior glinting under the moonlight.
Due to the unique nature of the work being done here, even in the middle of the night, there should have been many people actively moving around, with the sounds of keyboards typing and papers being shuffled filling the air.
Especially in recent times, the world has seen an upsurge in bizarre and inexplicable cases, bearing the potential involvement of extraordinary powers.
But today, the entire structure was silent. Not a soul roamed the sleek corridors lined with offices. The spacious central space, typically bustling with activity, was devoid of life.
However, in one of the multiple underground floors, a tense atmosphere prevailed. The place was filled with a heavy silence as all eyes remained fixed on a particular spot in the room.
Everyone present stood unmoving, observing something with unwavering focus. Their breathing was slow and measured, as if afraid to disrupt the delicate moment.
Various researchers wearing pristine white lab coats were scattered around the edges of the spacious chamber. Their hands moved swiftly across flashing keyboards as data streams poured across the screens before them.
Furrowed brows and frown lines creased their faces, betraying the anxiety and apprehension simmering beneath their composed exteriors. They continued reviewing the incoming information.
Two people seemed to stand out in the middle of the tense crowd. They wore casual clothes instead of the black suits or lab coats that dominated the room.
They were the extraordinary investigators of this branch, the raven-haired woman with a high ponytail named Amber. Beside her was Ethan, the young man from whom Lynn extorted the information about the werewolves and the existence of the abandoned district.
Unlike the others, the two were seated in chairs off the side, observing the scene unfolding before them. Their posture appeared relaxed, but their eyes were sharp, intently focused on the same focal point captivating everyone else.
At the very center of the expansive chamber was the object responsible for the room's strained ambiance - an enormous display screen that dominated the space. It was at least ten meters in height and stretched across almost the entire far wall.
"Do you think the captain will be fine?" Ethan asked, a hint of apprehension detectable in his voice as his eyes remained fixed on the motionless figure on the monitor.
Amber turned to him, her sharp gaze softening. " You worry too much," she responded gently. " Have faith, you know how strong he is."
"More importantly, you need to observe carefully. One day, you'll have to go through a similar process if you wish to advance your abilities. This is a pivotal moment that every extraordinary individual must experience"
