Although I have a great thirst for knowledge about the phenomenon of time standing still of unknown origin, the current task that I am urgently completing is more urgent.

Junichi Sanada took a taxi and returned to Dusk's inconspicuously disguised headquarters.

After throwing a few bills to the driver, Sanada Jun strode into the building.

The several security personnel guarding behind the automatic door cast a scrutinizing gaze on everyone who approached. When they saw that the person coming was Junichi Sanada, they all bowed their heads slightly to express respect, and then returned to their work without squinting.

It's impossible to recognize the salaried guys like our boss, but this is an urban area with lots of people coming and going. Even though it's a little remote, it's still part of the city on the map. They can't show anything more than normal.

Work respectfully, otherwise you will be targeted by some people who are too curious, and it will be difficult to avoid getting into trouble that you shouldn't get into.

The intellectual curiosity and rebelliousness of adolescents often lead to disaster when they appear in people with abilities.

After walking to the front desk where visitors were received, the two men and two women sitting on the computer typing on the keyboard showed their qualities that were different from those of ordinary office workers in the corner of the hall where no one was touching them. They all stood up and bowed their heads in salute.

"Where's Mizorogi?"

Without paying attention to anything else, Sanada Junichi asked casually from the front desk nearest to him.

"Downstairs, with the guests we invited in the early morning."

The person being asked the question only thought for a second before giving the answer he wanted.

Dusk, which had just started to operate, did not have heavy tasks to handle, and the commissions it handled were not many, so he gave the answer without thinking carefully.

"I understand, please continue."

Waving to them to continue pretending to be normal office building staff, Sanada Junichi turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor after receiving the answer.

The downstairs mentioned at the front desk refers to a confidential underground facility that did not exist on the drawings at the beginning of the construction. It is a place that no one knows except the official Dusk personnel. It includes scientific research facilities for core technologies, new weapons training grounds, and important places where important people are imprisoned.

Character's prison.

Junichi Sanada couldn't help but click his tongue after reading the cost of a prison that was configured to be able to detain people with superpowers who were causing trouble. The cost of the related facilities made Junichi Sanada couldn't help but click his tongue after reading it. It cost a small consortium a sum of money to stop the heartache.

At the inconspicuous end of the corridor, there is an orange freight elevator standing there quietly.

He pressed the button next to the marble door frame, and the retractable door slid open silently, revealing a space inside that could fit a car.

Walking into the elevator, Junichi Sanada took out his mobile phone, called up a picture full of garbled characters on the screen, and placed it in front of the LCD screen inside the elevator that showed the number of floors.

Didi~

The LCD screen glowed with a faint green light, illuminating the garbled characters on the phone screen, and then the Didi beep sounded rapidly.

When ~

The previously silent freight elevator came to life. Junichi Sanada felt that the industrial machine gained power to drive it and began to slide down along the planned track.

The feeling of weightlessness like being in outer space filled Junichi Sanada's nerves. He was still a human being and unconsciously held on to the smooth partition on the side of the elevator.

About thirty seconds passed before the rapidly descending freight elevator slowed down before stopping, in case the cable holding the elevator could not withstand the surge in inertial force and break.

After another thirty seconds, the freight elevator, which was getting slower and slower, slowly stopped. The bottom touched a hard object and stopped here with a bang.

The elevator door retracts to the right, opening up the space for entry and exit.

A spacious passage appeared in front of Jun Sanada. The top, bottom, left and right were covered with solid concrete. Warning signs related to the facilities were posted on the walls. There were two rows of powerful incandescent lamps overhead.

"Sir."

The four guards guarding here raised their hands in salute. Unlike the ANBU members upstairs, they received all-round military training, from mind to body. It is no problem to say that they are soldiers who are loyal to the country.

"Well, you continue."

Junichi Sanada nodded in disbelief, passed through the middle, and moved along the passage.

When someone was detected approaching the front, the detector placed on the ceiling sent out a signal, and the transparent automatic doors opened to both sides, allowing Junichi Sanada to enter the facility.

Dusk's underground facilities are divided into two floors. In the middle is a vast hall, which is enough to accommodate three football fields. Along the perimeter of the hall, there are passages to various classification facilities on the first and second floors.

According to his memory, he walked to the northern passage with familiarity, dug out the garbled pictures on his mobile phone again, and placed them in front of the reader.

"Permission confirmed, entry is allowed."

The lampshade on the door frame lights up green and the automatic door opens immediately.

This time, Junichi Sanada walked to the real-time monitoring center where Dusk used to hold important prisoners.

"Boss."

When Junichi Sanada came in, Tekken was sitting on the bench in the aisle with his legs crossed, smoking. When he saw Junichi Sanada come in, he hurriedly got up and stood up straight.

"Stay up until now? Haven't you taken a break?"

The aura of exhaustion around Tekken was so deep that Jun Sanada could tell in an instant that he probably hadn't had a good sleep since his actions in the early morning.

"I'm not sleepy, just a little tired."

Iron Fist took another deep drag on his cigarette and tried his best to open his eyelids to prove that he was not sleepy at all and didn't want to sleep at all.

Junichi Sanada didn't want to indulge in this kind of forced behavior. As one of the few high-level ability users in Dusk, if he made a mistake during a mission due to lack of sleep, it would be a fatal mistake for completing the mission.

"Go and rest. There may be big operations in the next few days. You will be punished if you can't go out and turn around."

Facing the order from his immediate superior, Iron Fist had no choice but to surrender and walked away with unsteady steps.

Seeing that he was going to rest, Sanada Junichi opened the door on one side. Inside, Mizorogi Shinno and three staff members were looking at the screens all over the wall, discussing something in a low voice.

This is the management room that manages all the surveillance cameras in the real-time surveillance station. Because there is no need to worry about things like human rights, the density of surveillance does not consider privacy at all. Even when you take a shower or use the toilet, someone will be watching.

"Hasn't he given any clues about the big thing yet?"

Seeing that several people were so focused in their discussion that they didn't even respond when he opened the door and came in, Junichi Sanada deliberately increased his volume and said to Mizorogi Shinno.

"Boss, you are finally here."

Mizorogi Shinno turned around in astonishment, his expression filled with relief from a heavy pressure.

"That guy was very tough-talking. From beginning to end, he only said that he would talk to you only when he saw you. Iron Fist couldn't see his arrogance, so he went up to beat him and interrogate him. As a result, after half an hour, he still didn't let go. I was a little suspicious.

Which organization did this guy escape from?"

"You were tortured and interrogated and still refused to let go?"

Sanada Junichi frowned slightly, feeling that things seemed not simple.

He turned around and carefully searched for Inoue Hideka's figure on the surveillance screens all over the wall.

"Here it is, boss."

Mizorogi Shinno pointed out the camera screen monitoring Inoue Hideka. The level 4 ability user was handcuffed to death on the small table. The chair welded to the ground was some distance from the table, forcing Inoue Hideka to have to
