| |
| You came back to the server room after receiving another clue. Luke had found a notice board in the room that was completely obscured by dust.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|You|Probably? When the room was lit last time, we didn't look that carefully over here...}}
| |
| {{SL|You|After that, we were focused on the computer and the drawers... It's easy to miss a dusty notice board.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Sigh... I didn't think I'd make a mistake like this.}}
| |
| Luke helplessly shakes his head, and then blows off the dust on the notice board.

| {{SL|Luke|!!!}}
| |
| {{SL|You|What's up? See something?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Centipede...}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|That name sounds familiar. I've heard my colleagues talk about it before.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Is that... a tool?}}
| |
| Medilla had left a brief description of this thing on the board, but you don't understand its meaning.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|Luke|Yeah, Centipede is a very special tool.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Its AI can hack through 60% of the world's firewalls. Add in its "Crawler" function...}}
| |
| Luke is immersed in his own thoughts. It feels like he's talking to himself rather than explaining to you.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|Luke|No wonder Notro holds this much information as a trading platform.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|With this tool, there aren't any more secrets in the digital world.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Has the National Security Bureau investigated Notro before?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Yes, but Notro has many extremely talented hackers. The Bureau also wasn't able to get any direct evidence to prove criminal activity.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|We have to act according to the law, so we haven't been able to take any effective measures against Notro.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|[Player], where do you think Notro would hide this Centipede?}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Where did Notro hide it... You think there might be clues up there?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Yep. As Notro's adversary, Medilla definitely would've learned of its secrets long ago.}}
| |
| You look towards the notice board. Medilla seems to have drawn a complex diagram on it.
| |
| | |
| A name related to Notro appears under each line intersection, such as Promotional Site, Email, and X Base.
| |

| |
| | |
| You also feel that it's very strange to be summoned here, with no client in sight.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|You|Maybe he got delayed for some reason...?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|No. I think he left this defense program here on purpose.}}

| Finally, two hours later...
| |

| As the words appear on the screen, an electronic female voice comes from the computer's speaker.
| |
| | |
| Hearing the voice, Luke's face dramatically changes.

| | |
| The Vesper Box is what Lilith uses to give orders and talk to you. But this is also where she actually is.
| |
| | |
| Today, Luke has another mission other than being the one to break the truth to her. He was going to take Lilith away from here.
| |
| | |
| His plan was to put Lilith in the Vesper Box for now, before deciding where to put her.

| |
| {{SL|Lilith|I see.}}
| |
| Lilith's answer is calm, as though she had been expecting this all along.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|Luke|Were you already aware of this beforehand?}}
| |
| {{SL|Lilith|I've already estimated this potential outcome based on the program Medilla wrote for me and the time he lost contact.}}
| |
| {{SL|Lilith|No matter how I calculated the outcome, the result remains the same: his chance of survival is extremely low.}}

| {{SL|Lilith|You are the most famed private detective in Stellis. Medilla has known about you for a long time.}}

| |
| {{SL|Luke|So these missions are created for us to find out where he is after he's gone missing?}}

| {{SL|Luke|That doesn't seem like Medilla's way of doing things.}}
| |
| {{SL|Lilith|You're right.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Unless... He asked us to investigate him, but never wanted us to find him?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Right. Why would someone who's trying so hard to hide himself want people to go looking for him?}}
| |
| Luke looks at you seriously.
| |
| | |
| {{SL|Luke|What do you think, [Player]? What do you think is his real intention for making us do this?}}

| {{SL|You|Marius... can you please relax... a little more?}}
| |
| Looking at Marius's anxious profile, you can't help but to feel worried.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Marius|Hush. Didn't Vyn previously say that there was a killer here?}}
| |
| {{SL|You|But I think you'll attract unwanted attention if you come in looking as on edge as you are...}}
| |
| Hearing that, Marius helplessly shakes his head and breathes out a sigh.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Marius|I wouldn't have been this nervous if I came here alone, but...}}
| |
| {{SL|Marius|If anything goes wrong, I'll get you out of here immediately.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Sure... But, it should be fine. I don't think there'll be any problem so long as no one notices us...}}
| |
| As soon as you finish, a commotion at the bar catches your attention.
| |
|
| |
| Some foreigners dressed in suits and sunglasses share a brief exchange with the owner of the place before standing and leaving.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|!!!}}
| |
| {{SL|Marius|...}}
| |
| Marius immediately pulls you behind him, but the foreigners walk right out of the bar without sparing any of you a single glance.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Looks like we were overreacting a little...}}
| |
| {{SL|Marius|Hold on...}}
| |
| Marius looks at the bar where they'd just vacated.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Marius|Let's go and have a look.}}
| |
| You are puzzled by his decision but follow him anyway. Then, you notice a line of watermarks that had been left behind.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Bar Owner|Another youngster who wants to stick his nose in places it doesn't belong?}}
| |
| He takes a closer look at Marius before raising his eyebrows.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Bar Owner|...Oh? We have a big shot here. Very well. Suit yourself.}}
| |
| The owner turns around and walks away. You exchange a look with Marius before you both go back to observing the bar.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Marius|The shape of the watermarks looks like some kind of symbol...}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Marius, those people are hitmen, aren't they...?}}
| |
| {{SL|Marius|Yeah. What they left here must be some sort of useful information for them.}}
| |
| Useful Information for them...

| |
| You walk into the bar with Luke and survey the area.
| |
|
| |
| Back when Marius had asked him about the hitmen's code, Luke had insisted on coming here with you to investigate again.
| |
|
| |
| Fortunately, you didn't bump into anyone dangerous this time.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Luke|I guess we won't be seeing those dangerous people you saw the last two times you came here.}}

| {{SL|Luke|Although this place is special, I still won't let anyone go picking fights in front of me.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Hehe, how reliable of you.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Marius said that the hitmen do business here by leaving watermarks on the bar counter. But, I think they use other methods of communication as well.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|I had a quick look around and I've already found other marks.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Oh? Like what...}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Just a moment. You'll see when the light dims.}}
| |
| Luke pulls you over to a chair near the bar and takes a seat.
| |
|
| |
| After a while, the in-house musician begins to play jazz. The lights in the area slowly dim.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Look at the bar counter now.}}
| |
| You look at the bar in confusion. A fluorescent light in the upper right corner catches your attention.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Luke! There seems to be a fluorescent mark inside the picture frame on the right...}}
| |
| Luke nods.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Luke|This mark is the same as the one the hitmen left back then. I believe that it's to exchange information, no doubt.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|I studied the previous symbols, so I can roughly understand what they stand for.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|It should mean that the assassination target has already left the country.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Left the country!? Does it mean the target has left Stellis City... and escaped abroad?}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|Yes. That's what it means.}}
| |
| {{SL|Luke|However, the symbols are more than just a status update.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|More than a status update?}}

| Following Lilith's clue, you went down to the Abyss bar again.

| There aren't many customers in the bar because of how early you are. Only the cleaner and the lazy owner was around.

| |
| {{SL|Bar Owner|Yeah. They never stay in the same place after completing a mission. That's the iron-clad rule of their profession.}}

| The bartender deliberately drags his words out while eyeing an iced whiskey bottle.

| {{SL|Vyn|They ordered the whiskey without drinking it?}}
| |
| Vyn takes the bottle from the ice bucket.
| |
|
| |
| The small black handwriting on it was already fading due to the water, the ink spreading like small snakes in the water.

| Seeing that the guard isn't stopping you two, Artem takes large strides up to the main gate.
| |
|
| |
| Following him, you curiously look at a sheet of paper stuck on the door.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Residents, please report your household's electricity meter readings...?}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|Look here.}}
| |
| Artem points out an empty line. It belongs to unit 202.

| |
| {{SL|You|Oh, this cell isn't filled out...}}
| |

| |
| {{SL|Artem|Now... We can deduce a rough estimate of when he disappeared.}}

| If only one cell is empty, then the period of time in which he disappeared is...}}

| After receiving the clue, you and Artem go back to North Stellis.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Eh? You two again?}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|Hello. We're here to collect a package on behalf of the tenant in unit 202. He's away, so he wants us to hold his deliveries for now.}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|The tenant in 202 is your client?}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Yes. He recently contacted us.}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|...}}
| |
| The guard shoots a glance towards you two, then points upstairs.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|He's got too many packages. They're all stacked up in front of his door. Go get them yourselves.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Too many... Did he get all those packages just this month?}}
| |
| The guard lazily reclines in his chair and goes back to sunbathing.
| |
|
| |
| You and Artem look at each other before going upstairs.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|...You can't be serious!}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|...}}
| |
| Half an hour later, Artem dusts off his suit and goes downstairs with you.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|This is the first time I've seen someone get all their daily necessities online.}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|He seems to hardly go out.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|But some things he bought online are actually easier to get from a convenience store.}}

| When you and Artem arrive, a commotion is underway in front of the neighborhood gate.
| |
|
| |
| Many elderly people have gathered at the entrance, chatting about something on the ground.
| |
|
| |
| You look up at the second floor of the building, only to find the door of 202 hanging wide open.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Artem|Excuse me. Thank you.}}
| |
| Artem pushes through the crowd and the two of you arrive at the door.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Artem|Hello. What's the matter with the house 202?}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Oh, it's you lot. The lease of 202 has expired, so I'm cleaning it up so that I can rent it out again.}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|What are those things on the ground?}}
| |
| Artem points to the ground, where all sorts of things were laid out like a flea market stall.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Those are things from house 202. The tenant said that he doesn't want them anymore and that we're free to get rid of them.}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|The tenant... said that?}}
| |
| The guard points to the second floor.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|It's in the contract. When the lease expires and the tenant is absent, then their belongings will be at our disposal.}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|The tenant installed this electronic lock, but it will automatically unlock itself if he doesn't renew his lease.}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Oh, by the way, these aren't everything. I've already listed his old computer and whatever trinkets he had lying around up on the internet to be auctioned off. }}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Many people started bidding high prices for them the moment I put them all up yesterday. What a nice surprise...}}
| |
| {{SL|Artem|...}}
| |
| Artem suddenly clenches his fists and stops talking.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Mr. Wing...?}}
| |
| Artem remains silent, a complicated look on his face.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|...}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Sir, can I have a look at these things?}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Sure, go ahead. You can also buy them if you want.}}
| |
| You bend down to look at the things on display. Some of them look like new purchases while others looked worn from use.
| |
|
| |
| Suddenly, you seem to understand Artem's feelings.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|Has the tenant been renting this place since three years ago?}}
| |
| {{SL|Gate Guard|Yeah. You know your client very well.}}
| |

| The principal had known Vyn's reputation for a long time now, so they were more than happy to accept.

| |
| {{SL|You|Then what do we do...?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|We abide by the client's stipulations.}}

| {{SL|Vyn|Earlier, I had asked about the school's previous hacking incident.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|That incident... What exactly happened?}}
| |
| Vyn smiles and removes a file from the highest shelf of a bookcase.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Six years ago, a group of cybercriminals stole some of Stellis Junior High School's student records.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Their goal was to use the data to filter out suitable targets for abduction and extortion.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|However, two days after the school database's breach was discovered, the police received a tip from a mysterious hacker.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|This enabled the police to quickly track down the physical addresses for both the data thief and the informant.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|These two addresses were both in Stellis, and the informant was in Stellis Junior High School.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|So, a student solved that case?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Naturally. Coupled with our client's hint, it was likely a younger Medilla.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Yeah... I think that as well, but we don't have any way to find his true identity...}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Do not worry. DAVIS has already used another method to settle the matter of his identity.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Oh?}}
| |
| Vyn opens the file in his hands. It's a collection of previous graduation photos.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|It may be difficult to discover text documents that have been destroyed, but it is obvious when a photograph has been manipulated.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|According to when the hacking incident occurred, I suspect that Medilla graduated three to five years ago.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|DAVIS used facial recognition to identify whoever is absent in the database but present in the graduation photos.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|I think... at this point, his identity can no longer be hidden.}}
| |
| Vyn points to one of the photos.
| |
|
| |
| It is the graduating class from four years ago. Vyn is pointing to a boy whose head is lowered and eyes obscured by shadow.
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|You|The boy looks like... he doesn't fit in with the others.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|I believe that the situation is more complex than not fitting in.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Extreme reclusion that results in the intense desire to excise all traces of one's existence from others' lives...}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|It can almost be classified as symptomatic of a psychopathology.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Is this child...}}
| |
| You silently ruminate as you watch Vyn replace the file on the top shelf.

|

| {{SL|Vyn|Was found to have never left the school, correct?}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Didn't leave the school? Did she know in advance that she would be kidnapped?}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|That same night, the police received information from the school about the criminal gang, all of whom were arrested two days later.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|Amazing... So Medilla was the one who told the girl to hide?}}

| {{SL|Vyn|Most likely. When I was providing psychiatric counseling services... I overheard something "interesting."}}
| |
| Vyn's expression is tense when he says "interesting."
| |
|
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Although this type of matter will not be recorded as a major campus event, it is well-known within the school.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Rumor has it that the girl who the forgotten hacker had saved was the school belle.}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|Since then, this girl has asserted that she has maintained a very good relationship with the hacker.}}
| |
| {{SL|You|A very good relationship...}}
| |
| {{SL|Vyn|This is a popular rumor at the school. Surely you can surmise the nature of the relationship between these two?}}

| |
| You curiously look at the item he took out, and fail to notice the slight draft blowing from behind.

| {{SL|You|Oh, a painting!}}
| |
| It's an exquisitely drawn sketch of a girl facing the artist and smiling, as if at herself.
