Investigator in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS World

"They might not recognize you because of your current appearance, so I suggest you wear a mask."

Aki Izayoi nodded silently and took out a familiar mask from her bosom.

She stroked the mask with her long, slender fingers, as if she were recalling something.

After a long while, Aki Izayoi put on the mask.

The witch has reappeared.

"Let's go."

Wan Zhanglong returned to the door and pressed the switch.

The pitch-black iron gate opened again.

The guards on both sides were stunned for a long time when they saw Izayoi Aki.

He then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

If they weren't mentally fogged up from staying up late....

That seems to be the image of the witch from the wanted poster, right?

Wan Zhanglong smiled and patted one of the guards on the shoulder, saying:

"Thank you for your hard work. I have to go to other places, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Wan Zhanglongyi turned and left with Shijuya Qiu.

The guard who had spoken to Banjō Ryūichi swallowed hard and said:

"That was a witch, wasn't it?"

"Did Ryuichi bring the witch back?"

"But why did he bring the witch here?"

Another guard took a deep breath and said urgently:

"I don't know, but there's one thing we must do immediately."

"Report this matter!"

"Regardless of whether the officer is awake or not, we must report this immediately!"

After saying that, he immediately dialed a phone number next to him and began to tell his story.

With his hands behind his back, Godwin gazed at the newly formed Mino City under the night sky, lost in thought.

Despite it being late at night, he still couldn't fall asleep.

The urgent knocking brought Godwin back to reality.

"Sir, are you there? There's an emergency!"

Godwin gently clicked the button next to him, and the door opened.

A guard strode into the room and said:

"I'm sorry to bother you, sir."

Godwin asked calmly:

"What are you so worried about?"

The guards quickly reported all the information they had just received.

Godwin smiled and said:

"No matter what Long Yi-jun wants to do, you just need to cooperate."

"This is my order."

After dismissing the guards, a smile appeared on Godwin's lips.

Witch?

Long Yijun is giving him more and more surprises.

I wonder where he's going next?

"Hey! Got it!"

"Long Yijun, we have received orders from our superiors. Whatever you wish to do, we will cooperate!"

"You will soon be able to see the criminals and the persecuted children in this idyllic paradise."

A guard quickly answered after hanging up the phone.

"It's troublesome."

Wan Zhanglong looked at Shijuya Aki and said:

"Please wait a moment, you will see them soon."

Izayoi Aki did not answer, but simply stared quietly at the door in front of her.

Chapter 42 On the Eve of Destruction

"Kitamura, are we no longer going to be electrocuted?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"The guards probably aren't like those demons, are they? Look, there are even picture books in this room!"

"Waaaaah, I should have believed my family. Where is there any paradise on earth?"

"There is only endless torment and evil there!"

......

A group of teenagers huddled together and cried in a building belonging to the Public Security Bureau.

They were all people who were taken away from the paradise.

After enduring endless torment, they were finally rescued by the police and temporarily housed here.

The room is surrounded by many picture books for teenagers.

Above these picture books is a one-way glass panel.

Aki Izayoi looked at the boys through the glass and fell silent.

She has been watching for ten minutes.

There was also a convenient voice transmission machine from the Public Security Bureau nearby.

Izayoi Aki saw it and heard it.

What kind of tragic past did these teenagers experience?

Interspersed among them were insults directed at her as a witch.

She doesn't blame the other person.

Compared to these teenagers, Aki's early life was like paradise.

She could more deeply understand the despair of these teenagers.

Izayoi Akane remembers the boy who insulted her.

His name is Nagano Jinsuke.

When they first met, Fu Ren admired her so much, and he joined the Shangri-La because of her.

The freckled boy who innocently called her "witch sister" is now the one who hates her the most.

The one who started it all was Dewayne, whom she admired most.

She deserves immense credit for helping these teenagers find themselves in their current predicament.

Thanks to her efforts, the paradise has expanded very rapidly in recent years.

What truly devastated Aki Izayoi was not these people, but the people who disappeared.

Some of those figures were no longer visible to her.

Standing next to Izayoi Aki, Banjō Ryūichi said:

"These are the only survivors."

"There are still some bodies. Shall we go take a look?"

Izayoi Aki covered her ears and squatted down on the ground.

What has she been doing all these years?

Sixteen Autumns desperately wanted to escape all of this; she wished it were all a dream.

Dewayne is still alive; this is all a lie, a scheme by the Bureau of Public Security!

This is all a conspiracy!

However, the boy's voice echoing in her ears reminded her again and again.

This is the cold and cruel reality.
