"It'll be quick... Mr. Baili, it's just a joint investigation, please!"
"About half an hour."
In the end, Baili still managed to free up some time.
"Is it alright?! Mr. Baili, you've agreed!"
"Your tone is completely different from before."
[From disappointment to joy, that's proof of how important Mr. Baili is to me.] (Read thrilling novels on Feilu Novel Network!)
Even if you praise me like this, you won't get any extra benefits.
[Really? I thought it was a great way to build rapport, but it doesn't seem to work well for Mr. Baili.]
Ayase Momo said it very bluntly.
Her initiative was clearly motivated by a desire to build a closer relationship.
Bai Li, who had set aside half an hour, was also ready to see what the request that piqued the girl's curiosity was.
After explaining to Mai, Asia, Rias, and the others that she would be going out that evening...
As agreed, Hyakuri quickly arrived at the meeting point given by Ayase Momo.
Upon arriving at the scene, I saw a young girl dressed in a street style.
Momo Ayase was wearing the same baseball jacket as her grandmother, with a beige shirt underneath, a baseball cap on her head, and denim shorts that revealed her fair thighs and sneakers.
"Good evening, Mr. Baili!"
"Good evening. I suddenly thought of something on my way here."
"Please say."
"You live in the next city, right? Just like Kuoh Town, only in a different direction. It's at least an hour's drive round trip. Why did you accept my request?"
Please don't worry about this detail.
After hearing Hyakuri's question, Ayase Momo had no intention of answering it and was prepared to give a perfunctory reply.
Since that was the case, Baili didn't ask any further questions.
In any case, she felt that the girl in front of her had good potential and it was worth seeing how she performed in the next operation.
“Let’s go and take a look at the abandoned nursing home you mentioned.”
"plz follow me."
Ayase Momo turned and walked towards the next street.
Along the way, he took a lollipop out of the pocket of his loose coat.
"Would you like some, Mr. Baili?"
"no need."
"I think this red bean flavor is very good."
That's a really strange taste...
Bai Li then heard Ayase Momo recount some details about the commission on the way.
Missing pet cats and dogs;
The sounds of an abandoned nursing home;
There were also suspicious figures that were seen by others.
Based on this information, Momo Ayase believes that the perpetrator of this incident is inside the abandoned nursing home.
This building is not far from the izakaya where Baili had been drinking, only a seven or eight-minute walk away.
Upon arriving at the scene, Baili saw a sign hanging at the entrance that read, "Danger building, do not enter, about to be demolished and rebuilt."
Ayase Momo ignored this information, grabbed the railing with one hand, and then leaped over it.
After jumping in, Baili looked around.
At the entrance of the abandoned nursing home's main building, in the open space in front, there are many tables, chairs, benches, and some broken canes and wheelchairs.
"Mr. Baili, who do you think is specifically responsible for capturing those pets?"
"People who love cats and dogs on TV?"
"what is that?"
"Maybe it's because they don't like pets."
"Even people might not be like that, because some people who had their pets stolen said they saw a winged demon with no facial features."
Momo Ayase recounts the information provided by the victims.
The two passed through the gate of the abandoned nursing home and entered the inner part.
There was a musty, damp smell inside the building.
The air smelled of mold.
Ayase Momoto frowned and looked around.
"There's a lot of dust on the ground, and I can't see any footprints. It doesn't feel like anyone has been here."
"Perhaps there are other ways to get in besides walking, if we consider the information you mentioned about carrying wings on your back."
"That's right."
Ayase Momo nodded and looked up at the window.
One window was indeed open.
Ayase Momo, who was about to explore the second floor, suddenly stopped.
She stood still, and as she quieted down, she asked Baili...
"Mr. Baili...did you hear me?"
"Yes, it's located underground, and there are cats and dogs."
"On the right."
Ayase Momo ran straight over.
As Baili caught up with the other person, he saw the footprints along the way.
Those were footprints other than those of the two people.
Unaware of this, Ayase Momo rushed down the stairs into the basement.
Seeing the gate blocking her way, the girl didn't hesitate and used her inner energy to forcefully blast it open.
boom!
Once the impact subsided, the two could see what was behind the door.
The entire space was lit only by a few candles, and a group of cats and dogs that had not been separated were kept in the same cage.
When they saw strangers appear, some of them cried out, while others, too weak to do so, remained silent.
"It was here after all... Mr. Baili, we've found the right place!"
“These pets weren’t being fed, but they didn’t look like they were being deliberately abused.”
"Oh, there's still water here."
Ayase Momo noticed a basin of water next to the cage, along with some leftover fried chicken bones that someone had apparently eaten...
What is going on?
Feeling puzzled, Ayase Momo suddenly looked behind her.
The sound of other people's footsteps could be heard outside the basement.
"somebody is coming!"
Momo Ayase immediately became alert and looked towards the basement door.
Soon the footsteps became plural.
Several figures appeared at the doorway.
They are humanoid creatures with wings and long tails, no facial features, and sharp horns on their heads.
One of the humanoid monsters was holding an open bag of potato chips in its right hand.
"What the heck... these guys! Monsters? Evil spirits?!"
Ayase Momo looked at the humanoid monsters that appeared in her field of vision, and, preparing for battle, she said she had never seen these creatures before.
Baili then asked at this moment
"Peach, have you read the Cthulhu Mythos?"
"Hmm... I've heard of that before."
"Now you see."
"What?"
Bai Li walked up to Ayase Momo.
He stared at the humanoid monster before him.
"That's right, these guys are most likely Nightshade. Shouldn't they be active in the Dream Realm? Or are they here to cause trouble on someone's orders?"
Is it a waste of resources to have Nightshade catch cats and dogs, and it doesn't seem to make any sense...?
But one thing is for sure.
This world... contains the gods of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Chapter 145 The Stealthy Chaos! Kamen Rider Nyarlathotep Reports!
In the Cthulhu Mythos, Nightmares are creatures that inhabit dream realms.
They are described as having smooth, whale-like skin, slender, humanoid bodies, inward-curving horns, and a whip-like tail with barbs.
A notable characteristic of Nightmares is that they have no face.
