However, her system was very aloof, and apart from saying a few words at the beginning of her transmigration, it never responded to her questions again.

No matter how she tried to summon the system, she couldn't hear its voice.

Therefore, she didn't have a definite answer as to whether she would be able to return to this world in the future.

The chances of meeting Izumi Kyoka again are extremely low.

Moreover, even if they do return to this world in the future, they might descend as other elves.

If this were to actually happen, the two of them wouldn't even have the chance or reason to meet.

Kurumi Tokisaki was somewhat troubled.

The fact that she had just refused the suggestion to leave with Izumi Kyoka had already made her feel down. If she wasn't given any hope now, the child would probably be very disappointed.

So, Kurumi Tokisaki patted her head and lied kindly, "Of course I'll come back. Although Yokohama is just a temporary stop, I might come back from time to time to do some things. I might need Kyoka's help then."

"I understand."

Izumi Kyoka's expression relaxed slightly.

"I will wait for my sister to come back."

Chapter 58: Lure the snake out of its hole

Five days later.

Inside a library in Yokohama.

A refined-looking man in a brown suit and round glasses walked into the library.

He looked around the library’s interior and found a table among dozens of public desks that had a sign that read “Under Repair, Do Not Use”. He walked over and discreetly removed the sign.

Sitting in the chair, he reached his hand behind the table and probed it slightly, his fingers touching a hard object.

The man remained calm and removed the tape from the hard object, placing it on the table.

A USB flash drive.

This was the man's purpose in coming here.

Insert the USB drive into the computer, and lines of confidential intelligence from the Port Mafia will appear on the screen.

"I never expected that the secret agent I left in the port mafia a few years ago would still be useful. I had already planned to put him on hold."

Browsing through the valuable intelligence, the man couldn't help but think, "Although I don't have high hopes, if he can really bring me some useful good news, it will be very helpful for future plans."

The man's name is Ango Sakaguchi, the branch manager of the Yokohama branch of the Special Ability Agency, and also a special intelligence gatherer for the government.

As an official member of the Yokohama Iron Triangle, Ango Sakaguchi is responsible not only for combating and eliminating all supernatural crimes, but also for handling the handover of overseas supernatural organizations and suppressing the Port Mafia.

This is no easy job; the fact that Sakaguchi Ango is in this position is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.

After all, he was one of the few ruthless people who made the Port Mafia suffer huge losses and had no choice but to swallow their pride.

Several years ago, after the Dragon Head War ended and the Port Mafia became the true dark empire of Yokohama, Ango Sakaguchi was assigned a mission by his superiors: to infiltrate the Port Mafia alone to steal intelligence, in order to prevent it from becoming too powerful and arrogant.

He did not disappoint his superiors' trust and expectations. He quickly gained Mori Ougai's trust due to his outstanding abilities and became the organization's intelligence scribe, responsible for recording all the events, big and small, that happened within the organization.

His special ability, "Theory of Corruption," allows him to read memories left on objects for up to two hours. This ability is extremely useful within a criminal organization like the Port Mafia, making his infiltration of the Port Mafia much smoother.

He had a wealth of classified information imprinted in his mind; even some high-ranking officials probably didn't know as much as he did.

That's why, even after his identity was exposed, the Port Mafia didn't dare to harm him.

After leaving the Port Mafia and returning to the Special Abilities Agency, Ango Sakaguchi's intelligence became a stepping stone for promotion. He was quickly promoted to the position of branch manager in Yokohama.

Of course, he did not reveal all the information he knew; in fact, he deliberately concealed some important information as leverage to coerce the Port Mafia into seeking revenge.

Both his courage and intelligence far surpass those of ordinary people.

Even now, his composure and keen insight remain unchanged. Having personally observed the entire city of Yokohama, he naturally sensed what was brewing in the city recently.

As the leader of the Yokohama branch of the Special Abilities Agency, most things that happen in the city cannot escape his surveillance. Even if the Port Mafia tries their best to erase all traces, he can still deduce the truth from the slightest clues.

Based on his personal investigation and the intelligence submitted by the Armed Detective Agency, a name he had never heard of before came into his view.

nightmare.

An extremely mysterious figure; no matter what channels Ango Sakaguchi used, he could not find any information about this person.

So he set his sights on the Port Mafia, trying to extract information from its members.

However, to his surprise, the spy he had planted in the Port Mafia was still active and even brought him inside information about Nightmare.

Of course, he had also considered the possibility that this might be a trap set by the Port Mafia to ambush him.

However, this possibility is infinitesimally close to zero, because if the information he has in his mind were leaked, it would put the Port Mafia under tremendous pressure. Mori Ōgai, who is purely concerned with the interests of the organization, would never act impulsively.

Moreover, his current status is extraordinary. Even if the Dark King of Yokohama wanted to assassinate him, he would have to think twice about whether he could bear the consequences.

So he came here without any hesitation and took the information left behind by the hidden chess piece.

"Hmm... While it's valuable intelligence, it's also missing a lot of details."

Browsing through the information stored on the USB drive, Ango Sakaguchi wondered, "Is it because his level isn't high enough to access complete information about Nightmare, or is it that even the Port Mafia knows very little about Nightmare?"

If Mori Ōgai were here, he would definitely notice that Sakaguchi Ango is currently browsing the very intelligence he himself had compiled a few days ago.

At the same time, a man disguised as a customer, hiding behind numerous bookshelves, glanced subtly in Sakaguchi Ango's direction before pressing the Bluetooth earpiece on his ear.

"Ozaki-sama, the target has been bitten."

Through the headphones came the mature and elegant voice of Ozaki Koyo.

"Very good, you can retreat now."

"Yes."

The man didn't linger, put down the book he was using as a disguise, and left the library.

Inside the intelligence building at the Port Mafia headquarters, Ozaki Kouyou hung up the phone.

Today's game is a trap set by Tokisaki Kurumi at her request, targeting Sakaguchi Ango.

Ango Sakaguchi had been away from the Port Mafia for so long that his hidden agent within the organization had long been discovered, controlled, and turned by Kouyou Ozaki as a backup plan to counter the Special Abilities Agency in the future.

However, falling into the trap was not due to Ango Sakaguchi's stupidity.

The truth is quite the opposite. It was precisely because he knew that the Port Mafia couldn't do anything to him that he dared to keep the appointment even though he knew that the hidden pawn might be turned against him.

Anyway, even if it comes, it won't do any harm.

Moreover, there is a possibility of obtaining classified information.

He took the bait set by the Port Mafia, but the Port Mafia couldn't risk killing him by breaking ties with the authorities.

If that's the case, then why worry?

What Ango Sakaguchi was thinking was exactly what the Port Mafia was thinking.

They certainly didn't dare kill Sakaguchi Ango, and the purpose of setting this trap was definitely not to attack him.

Koyo Ozaki dialed another number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Miss Tokisaki, I believe you are ready, aren't you?"

"Yes, once you confirm everything is correct, I can begin the operation."

"The person you are looking for is already waiting for you at the target location. I wish you a smooth transaction with Sakaguchi. My mission is now complete."

"Thank you, that's a great help."

"Excuse my bluntness, but Mr. Sakaguchi's position in Yokohama is both very sensitive and very important. Even if we haven't reached an agreement with him, please refrain from..."

"I'm not some kind of demon, don't think of me as so violent."

Kurumi Tokisaki sounded relaxed on the other end of the phone.

"I believe that Mr. Sakaguchi and I will have a pleasant conversation."

Chapter 59 Infiltration Operation in Progress

at the same time.

In an alley not far from the library.

After receiving permission from Ozaki Koyo to proceed, Tokisaki Kurumi hung up the phone and threw it into the shadows.

Looking at Ango Sakaguchi's car parked outside the library, she felt a surge of joy.

Ozaki Koyo wasn't lying; after their conversation ended, she accelerated her plan to lure Sakaguchi Ango out.

Now that Ango Sakaguchi has actually appeared in public, it's time for Kurumi Tokisaki to make her move.

She couldn't easily give up the opportunity to join the Special Abilities Agency.

"Come out, my clone."

Kurumi Tokisaki stomped her foot, and the shadow behind her listlessly writhed a few times, but nothing appeared.

"Don't waste time. If we don't act now, Ango Sakaguchi will come out."

Seeing that the clone responsible for joining the Special Ability Agency wouldn't come out, Tokisaki Kurumi had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and reach into the shadows to pluck it out.

Soon, she managed to pull out an ordinary clone.

"What's going on? Why isn't that guy coming out yet?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked. "If Ango Sakaguchi leaves, this opportunity will be wasted."

"She said she was still a little nervous," the clone replied helplessly. "We're comforting her now, it'll probably take a while."

"Bandage Three was applied without warning, why is that guy so nervous?" Kurumi Tokisaki said speechlessly. "We're not that fragile. You and the others, hurry up and drag her out of here."

"Yes Yes."

After saying that, the clone disappeared back into the shadows.

A moment later, the shadow began to ripple again.

A special clone was lifted out of the shadows by several ordinary clones and thrown at Kurumi Tokisaki's feet.

This one looks different from the other clones; not only does it appear younger, but its spirit attire is also completely different.
