Chapter:26 Marionettist and the Puppet pt-2

"Let's see where you are hiding…."

Erik used the controller to access the Data of every hospital entry from the server database.

Different words appeared onto the screen as the screen loaded, showing more and more results.

[ᴀᴄᴄᴇꜱꜱɪɴɢ ʜᴏꜱᴩɪᴛᴀʟ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ ꜱᴇʀᴠᴇʀ!...]

[ꜰɪɴᴅɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜ ꜰᴏʀ ꜱʜɪʙᴀ ᴍɪyᴀ!...]

[250-ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜᴇꜱ ꜰᴏᴜɴᴅ!...]

"Hmm…..looks like the Yotsuba clan had taken extra security measures by creating fake entries within the database, it would have surely worked against normal Hunters but unfortunately for them, I know how to find the real one..."

Erik had expected the Yotsuba family to take necessary steps to hide Yotsuba Miya's existence as they had done for so long, unfortunately for them, Erik already knew where to look for her.

"Let's see…..Tatsuya and Miyuki lived near the Ruuyki Temple in their Shiba residence, this should narrow down the area of search."

"Ok, if I were to hide Shiba Miya while making sure that Tatsuya can reach her in time, in case of emergencies, I would probably choose Nidu Hospital...."

"Not only is that hospital in a more remote area but it also has the least amount of chance to get caught up in any kind of attack, not to mention, a few of Yotsuba branch-clans are also in that area....."

"While I can't be 100% sure that she is there, there is still a 70% chance of her being in that hospital....."

"I should probably give that hospital a visit, time to wear the mask..."

Erik closed the server database after removing the history of his search And removing his fingerprints from the controller.

He swiftly exited the secret chamber, sealing the entrance behind him and moved towards his tactical equipment cases.

After quite some time, Erik once again wore the skull mask over his face, quickly dressing up into his armour and dark cloak. His hood covered all of his armour underneath the concealment cloak.

He picked up a custom [Scαvαngєr M-9 Rєvσlvєr], [Flαѕh вαngѕ], [Thrσwíng Spíkєѕ], [Swσrd вrєαkєr dαggєr] αnd [Víвrαníum wírєѕ].

Every one of this equipment was made with a weakened [Hollow's touch] and [Ignore Armour].

His armour was made up of [Vibranium Nanotechnology] which was a reward for one of his missions whereas the [Concealment Cloak] was his own creation.

He equipped his accessories and rechecked everything twice before coming to the conclusion that he was indeed ready for the Mission.

"It's time to hunt, though the prey is already injured..."

A light chuckle escaped his lips behind the skull mask as his body submerged inside his own shadow, leaving the room completely empty.

He didn't have to worry about someone entering his room and not finding him inside. There was an unwritten rule within the Saltzman family, you mustn't bother Young Master Erik for at least 3-hours after he returns from school.

So no one would be sneaking within his room until after 2 more hours, considering that he had used one hour while taking a bath.

Fortunately for Erik, the Nidu Hospital was only 7-km away from his mansion and with him using the [Hollow Body], it would only take about 4-minutes to reach his destination.

Travelling through the shadows, he arrived at his location, emerging from the shadow of a tree of the roadside, he watched the exterior of the building.

"[Hollow's Eyes]...."

Erik perception of the world suddenly changed, the coloured surroundings were suddenly filtered out along with all the details, leaving behind an empty dark land with multiple yellow coloured humanized entities.

Within the cluster of weak, flickering, broken souls, there was one particular soul which had multiple dark spots all over itself.

The dark spots within a soul meant that the soul was injured, the more the number of such spots, the more the account of damage that soul had sustained.

"Miya soul would be damage whenever she would use her magic, only a person like her can have so many dark spots on her soul."

"Well well, so much for hiding..."

"Whatever, let the hunt begin!..."

Saying so, he once again submerged into the shadows.

(Elsewhere)

*Clatter!*

A mountain of dirty dishes could be seen neatly arranged near a gigantic sink, multiple individuals wearing white uniforms could be seen standing near the basin and cleaning the plates.

The room was filled with all kinds of aroma and continues chopping of various vegetables and meat.

Obvious the situation described was of a high-class hotel kitchen with multiple cooks, cooking delicious and mouth-watering dishes.

"Move out of the way! Fresh ingredients incoming....!!!"

"Hey, Petro! Careful Man! I nearly dropped the oil!...."

"Hehehe....sorry boss, but chief ordered for a fresh batch of ingredients And you know his temper....."

"Sigh.....be careful ok, these things are really costly, so don't break them by any chance."

"Yosh!...."

The Man named Petro placed the new batch of ingredients on the main table of the chief head to collect.

"Hmm....well done Young Man, now do me a favour and get that fire going...."

"Yes sir!...."

Petro excitedly moved towards the stove and turned the knob left with Happy grin on his face.

*Boom!*

The whole kitchen suddenly exploded, roasting everyone inside alive. The pressure within the room exploded outwards as the various sharp knives and forks flew everywhere.

Impaling the roasted, dead men inside. Blood splattered all over the place, severed limbs and burned corpses could be seen littered on the floor, dead and unmoving.

*Thump*

"Huff huff!....WHAT HAPPENED!!?...."

Immediately the employees rushed towards the explosion site, trying to search for survivors.

"W-What t-to do n-now!!?...."

"Damn it! How in the hell! Did the whole place blow up!?...."

"I don't know!!..."

"*Deep breaths*, Ok, contact the authorities and book a private cooking crew for the [Founding Party of the Juumonji Family], what happened here was an unfortunate disaster but we must not ruin the event our company was hired to organize!...."

"But s-sir!!...."

"No 'buts'! Do as I say! Do you understand!?...."

"Y-yes....!"

"Good....! Now get all of this cleaned up, also find out how in the hell this happened!...."

"O-Ok...."

"Remember! This event most go smoothly! We don't have any other choice.....!"
