Null Dimension. Black Cross hideout.
"Lord Vlansky, we had been trying to track down that man but never succeed, are you sure you will be able to find him without any clues?" Sal asked.
"No. Which is why we need to go to the Muron's house to get some clues." said Sky.
"But how?" Sal asked again.
"Well, Chris borrowed me his Sense Link before heading to Kapis, with his Sense Link, we should be able to trace his movements and determine his location if we have any of his close items." said Sky.
"Close items? Like undies and panties?" said Athena all of the sudden.
"Athena! Stop talking nonsense." Sal immediately reprimanded Athena for her indecency.
"Mhmm... You are right. Undergarments works best." said Sky, who is totally fine and agree with that slightly indecent statement from Athena.
"Lord Vlansky! Not you too?" Sal exclaimed in disbelief...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, outside of Muron's house.
"What are you doing at here again? I already told you that he is not here! I am the only one left in this house!"
The old lady Muron yelled as she waved her walking cane to Sal and Xenoo. Sky is standing at a a distance with a dragon mask covered his face, he is slightly astonished by the current state of the old lady Muron. Despite it's only being a few months after that incident, she looks so old and languished as if she was ten years older than the last time Sky saw her.
After hesitated for a few seconds, Sky took a deep breath and walked towards the old lady Muron before removing his mask in front of her.
"Yannie. It's me. I know it's being a really hard time for you but we need to get something from your house right now." said Sky.
Slightly hesitated for a moment, the old lady stepped back into the house without saying anything leaving the door wide open...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Sky and the others entered the house, they are surprised by the emptiness in the house, except for the old lady, no one else is living in the house, especially in her son's room which is totally empty with all the furnitures and stuffs all gone.
"As you can see, everyone is gone, after that incident, my son lost control and gone missing, my grandson lost his sane due to the great shock and were sent to a mental hospital, while my granddaughter who miraculously survived was taken away to the welfare home. They wanted to take me too, but I can't leave this house." said the old lady, who sounds like having problems to organise her words properly.
"I see... So... Is there anything else left from that son of yours? Like maybe... Some clothes?" Sky asked, hoping to get something from her.
The old lady shook her head.
"No... He was the cause of the misery in this house, I have burnt down all of his belongings into ashes..." said the old lady, who sounds a bit sobbing.
"Ah... I see... It's alright then. I guess we should be taking our leave. Uhm... If you need anything, you can contact us anytime." said Sky before leaving the house with Sal and the others.
As they stepped out of the house, Lady Muron stared at them with a weird and subtle expression...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, on their way back to Black Cross hideout.
"Hmm... Surprisingly, this Lady Muron did not get affected by your sleep magic." said Sal.
"Well, she was from a special clan after all. But since her husband is a normal person and so is her daughter in law, so I believe it's just her." said Sky.
"I see... What should we do next? Now with all that man's belongings got burnt down, we have lost our way to trace him down." said Sal.
"Hah... Can you go find out which mental hospital is her grandson in right now?" said Sky.
"No problem My Lord. But why would you want to meet with that boy?" Sal asked again, slightly curious.
"I have a feeling that she was lying to us just now and I believe that boy should have known something he shouldn't which caused him to turn insane." said Sky with a thoughtful look.
"I see. I shall contact our investigation unit as soon as we got back to the hideout." said Sal.
"Mmm."...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Later and later. After the investigation unit found out the said psychiatric hospital, Sky and Sal immediately went to the given location, while Athena and Xenoo are left in the hideout in case there is any unexpected situation.
Walked into the said psychiatric hospital, Sky immediately noticed something that is really unusual, instead of a proper modern psychiatric hospital, it is more like an insane asylum in the ancient time where most psychiatric patients were tortured to death instead of receiving proper treatment, and to make things worse, both Sky and Sal actually heard a muffled welp from a distance that sounds like a teenage boy.
"Ah... Lord Vlansky, I wondered if there is any possibility that the boy we are looking for is not affected by your sleep magic." said Sal, with a slightly troubled look.
"Possible. But I would prefer if it's a disembodied welp from the trapped soul here." said Sky, equally troubled.
"But if it is really that boy the one that welped... It can be quite bad. After all, it has been almost a week since you activated the sleep magic." said Sal.
"Ah... Well, at least biological, it's only being less than seven hours since he last eaten or drink anything... So... Let's get to him immediately." said Sky...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
