Chapter 07

"Mr. Rown! There's a strange portal opening in the Hika Mountains!"

The young man's report shocked the burly man who was standing. His brows instantly furrowed and he immediately made a hand signal to continue the report.

"This portal appeared suddenly, then disappeared. There was only a fraction of a minute that this incident took place."

The young man who reported said in a clear tone. This made everyone in the room slowly start to reflect.

"May I ask?" A woman with long golden hair looked at the young man by the door intently.

This young man was confused, but he immediately responded. "Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Rebecca?"

"Can you show data on the appearance of new portals by the disappearance of portals on the road close to Maro Park?"

A look of realization suddenly crossed Rown's face. he had completely forgotten about the disappearance of the portal in Maro Park earlier.

With a thoughtful expression, Rown said, "What Rebecca said is true, try comparing the disappearance of the portal and the appearance of the portal."

"Okay, sir!" This young man immediately took action. he turned to go towards the control room.

It took several minutes for the young man to return to the top floor room. He brought data related to the problem being discussed.

"According to the energy fluctuations of the portals. These two portals are the same, there is no difference at all!" This young man looked at the five people who were gathered.

He reported clearly and there was a flash of surprise that remained from checking the portal earlier.

Meanwhile, the five people who were holding a meeting suddenly fell silent. they are still in a state of thinking after receiving the information.

"Come back and thank you for your report," Rown said to the young man who was reporting earlier.

The young man nodded and turned to leave. he knew that the secret of the portal's transfer was a special matter that could only be discussed by the five higher-ups.

"This case is quite interesting. The portal can move which has many benefits later." The man who had red hair said in a serious tone.

"Saka, this is indeed profitable. However, how to move the portal is the question now." The tall man who was supporting his head, now slowly straightened his entire body.

"Besides, this portal is in the Hika Mountains. This mountain range is a wild area." this tall man named Klaus said in a serious tone. "So, it would take a full team to go to the area to investigate the portal."

Hearing Klaus' words, everyone nodded. Then, Rown looked at Klaus and said lightly.

"Klaus, you will lead teams A and B to the Hika Mountains. Find out what is causing the portal to move."

Klaus looked at Rown in surprise. However, he saw that the burly man was smiling broadly. This made Klaus suddenly have a dark expression.

"Okay. I will accept this mission." Klaus said in a forced tone. This made the other three colleagues chuckle.

"Any more questions?" Rown asked after everyone calmed down again.

"There isn't any." The four people answered in a firm tone. then Rown nodded and turned off the screen behind him.

"Then, this meeting is disbanded and will be held again, when Klaus returns with information regarding the portal."

Rown said in a high tone, then each person left the room, leaving Rown who was packing to leave the room.

City of Spirits, Yokan...

It looks like a gloomy city with houses shaped like tombstones. In this city, there is a large bell in the middle of the city.

This large bell is an object used by city residents to mark warnings and special events.

Yokan City itself is close to the Hika Mountains and next to Maroc City.

In addition, the hours of the citizens in Yokan City themselves are different because they are a ghost race. then during the day, they will sleep and at night they start to be active.

Now the sky has turned orange and beyond the Hika Mountains is Yokan City. Izaki is now walking out following the arrows in front of him.

This man saw the city ahead, so he knew where the system was taking him.

Just when Izaki entered the Yokan City area. The arrow disappeared and was replaced by the sound of the mechanism in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host for completing the mission.]

[Rewards are starting to be awarded!]

hearing the system notification, Izaki now sat and leaned against one of the trees that had no leaves at all.

"Looking at this gloomy city, I seem to be in Yokan City, a city of spirits."

Izaki already guessed where he was. However, he already had information that to enter the Mountains, there were two paths, namely the path near Yokan City and Viridian City.

Now, he just wanted to rest while looking at the spirit city in front of him. However, he suddenly saw a figure dressed in white floating around the city gate.

There were two of these figures, they were looking at the surrounding area, then looked at Izaki who was resting.

The two figures disappeared and in an instant appeared in front and behind Izaki.

"Hello human, why are you here?" One of the figures asked in a surprised tone when he saw Izaki.

"I'm resting because I'm tired of running from inside the Hika Mountains," Izaki said in a friendly tone.

"Running from inside the Hika Mountains... Are you a fool?"

To be Continued.
