Chapter 176:-Sir Nighteye's Report

In a quiet, dimly lit office, Sir Nighteye sat at his desk, his brow furrowed in concentration. The room was filled with the soft hum of computers and the glow of surveillance monitors.

Each screen displayed various feeds of the city, with one particular set focused on a location under close observation for months: the hideout of Kai Chisaki, also known as Overhaul, and his Shie Hassaikai gang.

Sir Nighteye was checking the security feeds repeatedly but couldn't find anything other than a figure clad in all black entering the compound, not coming out for hours.

Then all of a sudden that place exploded, the scene that appeared was chaotic: a building engulfed in flames, debris scattered across the street, and emergency responders rushing to the scene.

The explosion was pretty strong, killing everyone in there or putting them in a coma, however, the black figure couldn't be found anywhere. The only silver lining in all this was that no civilian was hurt.

Sir Nighteye looked at the same clip hundreds of times, looking at it from every angle, but he couldn't find who or what caused the explosion or where the man clad in black went.

He thought the man in black could be a suicide bomber, but he ruled that out because even if he was, there should have been his body or remains. However, there was not a single trace of him, as if he had vanished into thin air or never entered the compound at all.

But since he had seen and confirmed the man entered, he knew the black-clad man entered the compound. So, where did he go? This was the only thought in his mind. He even examined the area thoroughly to see if there was some secret escape route, but he didn't find anything, nor could he use his future sight on them.

With a sense of urgency, Sir Nighteye grabbed his phone and quickly dialed a number. He had to inform the other pro heroes immediately. As the phone rang, his mind raced with the implications of what he was seeing.

At the headquarters of the Hero Public Safety Commission, several ground-level pro heroes were gathered for a routine briefing. The atmosphere was relaxed, with heroes exchanging stories and planning their next patrols. The tranquility was abruptly interrupted when Sir Nighteye's call came through.

The phone on the conference table buzzed insistently, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. The hero in charge of the briefing, Eraser Head, picked it up, his usually calm demeanor replaced by a look of concern.

"Eraser Head here," he said, his voice steady but curious.

"Eraser, it's Sir Nighteye. We have a situation. I need you to ask the commission to summon an urgent meeting. Something serious has happened, and all of them need to hear this."

The heads of the commission nodded and told Eraser Head to summon all the heroes for the meeting.

Eraser Head then called for all the top 10 pro heroes, Nezu, Gran Torino, and Detective Naomasa.

In about an hour or two, all the top 10 pro heroes, Nezu, Gran Torino, Detective Naomasa, and Sir Nighteye were present in the conference hall, where Eraser Head and the commission members were already present.

Once everyone settled, the room fell silent as Sir Nighteye's voice filled the space. "I've been monitoring Kai Chisaki and his Shie Hassaikai gang for some time now. There was a sudden explosion at their hideout. The scene is a disaster. Most of the gang members are either dead or in critical condition. We need immediate assistance."

The room erupted into a flurry of activity. Heroes quickly gathered around the table, their expressions turning serious as they listened.

"What do you mean by 'disaster,' Nighteye?" Eraser Head asked, his eyes narrowing.

Sir Nighteye's voice was grim. "The hideout is completely destroyed. I have live-feed footage showing the aftermath. It looks like a bomb went off. The explosion was massive. Luckily no civilian was hurt."

Hawks, one of the heroes present, leaned in closer to the speaker, his usual laid-back demeanor replaced with concern. "Do we know who's responsible?"

"We do have one suspect, a man clad in all black entered the building but didn't leave, and after almost 3-4 hours, the explosion happened. There was no sign of his exit," Sir Nighteye replied, showing the footage to everyone.

Hawks asked, "So is he dead as well, given there was no sign of his exit before the explosion?"

"No, that's the issue here. We thought he might be a suicide bomber who wanted revenge on the Yakuza gang, but even if he was a suicide bomber, we should have found his body somewhere, or ashes, or something about him. There was not a single thing about him there, as if he vanished into thin air, leaving behind no trace at all." Sir Nighteye said.

"Was there any other exit or some hidden passage or something?" asked Gran Torino.

"Negative. I personally inspected the whole perimeter. There were no other escape routes or hidden passages," said Sir Nighteye.

"Are you sure this isn't just some gang war between the last surviving Yakuza gangs? I mean, does it really need our attention?" asked Endeavour.

"Yes, it does. We had intel that a little girl was being held hostage and experimented on because of her quirk. That's the reason we were constantly monitoring them so that we find evidence and arrest them.

But now, the girl is also missing, and according to my intel, the girl is just six years old, so there's no way she escaped on her own. Someone took her with them, along with all the research they had been doing on her.

The situation is that we have no idea what the girl's quirk is, or what research they were doing on her quirk, but it's got to be dangerous if they didn't let the girl out and have kept her hostage, all the while experimenting on her.

That's the reason I have summoned you guys here. We need to find the man behind the explosion, as it's highly likely that he has the girl and that research with him. It can prove to be very dangerous for us in the future." Sir Nighteye finished debriefing as he sat down.

By the time Sir Nighteye finished his debriefing, all the heroes had grim expressions on their faces. Mirko, the Rabbit Hero, slammed her fist into her palm, her face set with determination and anger.

"By any chance is it Thanatos who's been causing trouble for us for so long?" asked All Might

"Sadly we can't confirm that with just his back, we need more evidence to confirm it," said Sir Nighteye.

"I'm heading there right now. I'll make sure the scene is secure and see if any witnesses can give us information."

"Good," Sir Nighteye said. "We need all hands on deck for this. Hawks, I need you to use your speed and agility to scout the area and gather any clues that might lead us to the perpetrator.

Eraser Head, I need you to coordinate with the police and ensure the perimeter is secure. We can't let any evidence slip through our fingers."

Eraser Head nodded, already moving to grab his gear. "Understood. We'll be there in minutes. Anything else we need to know?"

Sir Nighteye paused for a moment, his voice becoming even more serious. "There's one more thing. I think it's highly unlikely he might have escaped the explosion completely unscathed.

So I think he might still be around the area, or in Osaka, as with the explosion, he wouldn't risk going in public or using other means of public transport, especially with a little girl with him as we would catch him easily.

So I believe he's still in Osaka, maybe looking for people who got burns recently or got treated for burns in Osaka should be a good start for us.

I have confirmed with airport authorities, that no one with burn marks has taken a flight in the last 72 hours, and boarding a train should be very dangerous for him as well, as I informed the station master to keep a tight watch on anyone suspicious. So my hunch is that whoever is responsible is still in Osaka, with all his major exit routes sealed."

The heroes wasted no time and quickly mobilized to cover all possible leads. They knew the clock was ticking, and every moment counted in their search for the black-clad man and the missing girl, Eri.
