Chapter 450 - Unexpected Outcome.

With Maria as the lead, the trio starts to trace down the source of the sound that only Maria can hear, with the assumption that the louder the sound that can be heard by Maria, the nearer the target would be. After about thirty minutes of tracing, all three of them suddenly felt a weird goosebump sensation.

"Mhmm... It seems like we are in the right direction. That's his aura." said Ai.

"Haha. What a great luck we have." said Maria, kind of joyous.

"Ah... Maria, you are making a really bad flag." said Sky.

"Oops... Sorry." said Maria...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With that flag from Maria, they continue to trace down the source of the sound and creepy aura that is released by the boy they looking for, and after a brief ten minutes of tracing, all of them heard the creepy humming as they approached a tiny square building that is hidden between some huge trees.

"Hmm... I guess he is in there." said Ai.

"Let's go in then." said Sky.

"But how are we going to get inside, I can't find any door around that building." said Maria.

"Hmm... Let's see... Tsk... I guess I will just destroy the whole building." said Sky.

"Wait what?! But you are going draw the attention of the soul reapers and ghost guards in this town." said Maria, rather disagree with Sky's crazy thought.

"Well, it's not a big deal, I have placed a dummy in our safe point room, as soon as we linked the boy's soul or consciousness to that dummy with this mini soul gathering orb from Seito, we will trigger the safe point glitch and return to our safe point since we have the marbles given by Poker." said Sky as he pulled out an invisible object from nowhere.

"Uh-huh... Is this 'The New Orb of The King' just like that magic limiter?" Maria asked.

"Mhmm... Kind of." said Sky, agreeing with that statement from Maria.

"Ah~ That's impressive." said Maria, not sure whether it was a compliment or just being sarcastic.

"Anyway... Let's see how hard this wall is."

Said so, Sky cracked his knuckles a bit with a sneer.

Then, Sky focused his magic on his right palm and blasted a powerful magic burst directly onto the wall of the square building. With that blast, the whole wall crumbled down into tiny debris. Just as they expected, behind the wall, is a boy that is shivering in fear under a plain wooden table in the corner of the room, his left leg can be seen chained up by a long chain to restrict his movements.

Despite a bit startled by the sight, due to the urgent situation, they continued with their operation with no delays. After briefly communicating with the boy about their intention, Sky transferred the boy's soul into the invisible orb and proceed with the safe point glitch jump...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that fateful jump, Sky slowly opened his eyes and is relieved to find out that they have returned to the safe point. Just as he thought that everything went well and was about to deactivate the magic circle and get everyone out of the Dreamland, he realised that something is wrong.

"Ah! Darling! Where is Ai-chan!" Maria exclaimed in shock.

"What? Ai is not with us?!" Sky exclaimed, equally shocked.

Yes, despite all of them did the glitch jump at the same time, Ai did not return back to the safe point with them.

"Maria, I did give her the marble just now, right?" Sky asked, fearing that he might make that silly mistake without realising it.

"Mmm... I even saw her putting it into her pocket." said Maria.

"Tsk... So... Where is she right now..." Sky murmured as he analysed the whole situation in his head.

Then, he suddenly remembered that weird knocking noise he heard in the City of Injustice Death.

"Hold on... No... It can't be..."

Sky murmured as he hastily walked towards the wall and knock on it thrice. As soon as he knocked on the wall, the magic circle deactivated, and both Sky and Maria returned to the room in Sky's house.

As soon as Sky's consciousness returned back to his body, he immediately opened his eyes and looked to the sofa where Ai was before they travelled to the Dreamland and is astonished to realise that she is not there anymore while the door of the room is wide opened.

"Someone had broken into the house and taken Ai's body with them..." Sky murmured, he sounds quite anxious.

"What?! Does this mean that Ai-chan's soul is still in the Afterworld? Oh my! She could be in a great danger!" Maria exclaimed in shock.

"I heard some weird knocking noise just now in the City of Injustice Death, it must be at that time... Damn it! I even strengthened the security level of the house spirit! Just who the hell that did this!" Sky shouted in anger.

"Could it be that poison master who hurt Chris-chan back then? I remembered that he is the executor of the KILLER organisation where Ai-chan used to work with." Maria asked, stating his thoughts.

"Possible. We need to find her body fast, her consciousness wouldn't be able to return to her body if it's away from this room." said Sky, kind of worried.

"But where are we going to find that Poison Master?" Maria asked, rather concerned.

"Tsk... I remembered Chris once told me that he suspected that Poison Master is working with Michael, so... Maybe we could give those Gospelers a 'visits'." said Sky, with a thoughtful look...

*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."
