The Phantom Child's

The Phantom Child's

Barbara realized from her stupor, she found herself in an empty building with high ceilings. It was so dark around him that his view of distant subjects was blurred.

Maxime and Xavier were beside her, though their robes covered their faces, but Barbara knew just by smelling their scent.

Maxime and Xavier were bowing their heads, not only them, even the nine comrades in the place were doing the same.

"You've come to your senses, Miss Zoe.." ..

A girl's voice sounded relaxed.

A voice shocked Barbara, without daring to look forward, Barbara immediately bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't realize you were in front of me." said Barbara.

"It's okay.. I just arrived, it seems like a little thing just happened.." ..

"That's my fault.. They're trying to hold me back from hurting the woman, sorry." Florin said.

"That woman is dying, she wasn't long after you went berserk.. But, in the future you need to be more in control of yourself, Flo. You're strong, and I'm not even sure that Me and Emmanuel can hold you back, either." Jasper said.

"I'll try more." said Florin.

"It seems like they are indeed intending to rebel, we are disappointed today.. I'm sure the military people will investigate it thoroughly." Lux said.

"Avoid them, as much as possible keep your identity.." ..

"Doesn't that mean our hunting is limited?" ask Xavier.

"Then find a way to keep them from restricting you.." ..

The girl who stood among the ten people who looked down before her looked powerful and respected, they did speak casually, but none of them dared to look at her.

"I found a Clover Mother hiding in Savannah, I want one person to go and clean it up.." ..

"I'll go." said Florin.

"No, as of today's events, I will restrict your movements.. Peter is leaving.. The rest I'll wait for a head from you.." ..

"Well, Phantom Child.."

They move according to what is assigned. Peter immediately heads to Savannah City for a special mission. While the nine of his companions went hunting.

The next day, blind in the morning, Aillard left in a hurry, and he got a call about a new case that happened in Shannon, just a few kilometers from Audric's Cafe.

By the time Aillard arrived, Damian was at the scene with Dax.

"When did you come?" ask Aillard as soon as it arrives.

"I just arrived.. Look, again a strange way of dying." Damian said.

"Like an animal bite?" Aillard.

"You're right, but what animal is in the middle of this city?" ask Damian.

"Is it possible that dogs are crazy?" ask Aillard.

Damian nodded in disagreement.

"All right, I understand, we're gonna turn this woman over to the forensics team for a check-up.. I'll look for traces of the perpetrator and check the CCTVs around." Aillard said.

"I'll help you." said Dax.

"Well, sure.." replied Aillard.

"It's brutal?" damian muttered who kept paying attention to the victim's torn neck.

As dawn broke, Aillard got another call from Brian. Brian tells us that the Terror of the Five Assassins is happening again in Savannah. The victim was a wealthy businessman from Dixie.

Aillard hands Shannon's case to Damian and Dax. While he takes Brian away to Savannah to take over the case from the local Detective.

At nightfall, Aillard and Brian were still on their way to Savannah, Damian and Dax were busy waiting for the autopsy results while looking for traces of the perpetrator, but there was no CCTV around the scene.

Damian and Dax look for a route that allows CCTV and catch the perpetrator. At an intersection not far from the scene, Dax realized there was CCTV. CCTV belongs to a shop there. With the permission of the shop owner, Damian can see anyone who was active at the time of the death of the victim.

Without Damian and Dax realizing it, the two black-robed people felt their movements were limited because Damian and Dax were still trying to investigate the case. However, upon a colleague's vision, the two plan to find out what Damian got from the tape.

"W-what's that?" ask the shop owner.

"They're very fast." murmured Damian.

"Two people, in black robes.. Their height is about 175cm and 185cm.. Running very fast towards the TKP" said Dax.

"How do you know that?" ask Damian.

"I'm so sure!" dax said firmly.

....

"What is Barbara and Maxime?" the black-robed person who was eavesdropping interrupted.

...

"There's a stalker!" said Dax who then immediately ran out.

...

"Damn!" the black cloak is Lux.

"Slow!" Xavier.

Dax comes and sees them both, but soon Xavier hits his chest until Dax is thrown away. Before Dax could get up, Lux and Xavier had already escaped first.

"Dax?" Damian called.

"I'm here!" said Dax.

"What are you doing there?" ask Damian.

"They hit me." said Dax.

"So you got thrown?" ask Damian.

Dax did not reply, he tried to get up and walked towards Damian in a limp.

"Who?" ask Damian.

"The two men were in black robes, but not those in the CCTV footage, so we can be sure they were trying to destroy the evidence but we preceded it.. The culprit was not just two people and they were not beasts!" clear Dax.

Damian looked at him understand.

"Un-Human.." added Dax.

Damian copies the CCTV footage as evidence, while Dax will be the first witness. It remains to determine who of the Five Slaughterers is the perpetrator this time.

Meanwhile, Lux and Xavier who were involved with Dax realized something odd.

Lux looked at Xavier who had been continuously staring at his palm ever since escaping from Dax.

"What's up, Xavier?" ask Lux.

"Lux, want to try my punch?" ask Xavier.

"What is an assassination attempt?" ask Lux.

"No, you know not how influential my blows to humans are?" ask Xavier.

"Of course, I could die." said Lux.

"Lux, you saw me hit that guy without missing a single bit, didn't you?" ask Xavier again.

"Yes.."

"That has no effect on him.. He was only thrown a few meters away.. It should only be the 'Predator' who can withstand my blow.. Lux, I think we're in trouble." said Xavier.

"I see what you mean about that guy, but what kind of trouble is coming for us?" ask Lux.

"Phantom Child." said Xavier.

Lux stopped her steps, she completely forgot something important. It was impossible for the Phantom Child to not know what was happening today. His vision could not be denied his prowess, whether it was the past or the future, he could see it even just by staring at his target.
