In fact, as early as a few days ago, Soga Yura had already discovered this 'Eye of Insight' lair hidden within the harbor district's underground drainage system.
That is why... when 'hunting' those members of the 'Eye of Insight' cult who dared to extend their filthy claws toward her younger sister, Soga Yura mocked them as 'rats'.
This was also one of the main reasons why that taxi driver, a member of the 'Eye of Insight' cult, became so agitated when Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi mentioned 'rats'.
The losses that 'Black Devil' had inflicted upon them were simply far, far too great.
In just a short dozen or so days.
Soga Yura had already dismantled most of the 'Eye of Insight' cult's forces in Guanzheng District.
The losses of the 'Eye of Insight' cult... were far higher than the Aberrant attack incidents 'occasionally' reported on the morning news.
After all, those that made the news were ultimately just the minority.
Moreover—
Most of those people were merely fugitives fleeing from Soga Yura.
Including that taxi driver.
He was a survivor who had escaped from Soga Yura's grasp by a twist of fate and a bit of 'good luck'.
By then, his mind had already completely corrupted.
With a will to die, he waited at the gates of Keigunen Private Academy.
As a result... he happened to run right into Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi, who possessed the Soga clan's signature crimson eyes.
Originally, nothing would have happened to Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi.
But it just so happened that night... a slightly weary Su Yuzu went to sleep very early.
And out of a whim like an experiment... Su Yuzu didn't turn on her nightlight when she slept, wanting to see just to what extent her fear of the dark reached.
To comfort Su Yuzu, Soga Yura delayed just a tiny bit of time on the way.
By the time she arrived, the taxi carrying Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi and that crazed 'Eye of Insight' cultist had already plunged into the deep, dark sea.
To be honest, at that time, Soga Yura thought Soga Ishikawa Kiyomi was dead for sure.
Yet... the girl had miraculously survived.
After manipulating a passerby to fish the floating girl out of the sea and calling Keigunen Private Academy to inform them,
Soga Yura left the scene.
The efficiency of the Investigation Bureau's Fourth Action Division was indeed high.
But... compared to Soga Yura, a Third Sequence 'Mind Control' User, they were still somewhat lacking.
It only took a single glance.
Possessing a terrifying mental power akin to domination, Soga Yura could effortlessly dismantle a person's will.
Making them willingly crawl before a young girl, kissing the tips of her shoes in fear and trepidation, arching their body and panting with their tongue out to act as a dog for Soga Yura.
If not for the fact that the minds of the 'Eye of Insight' cult's high-ranking members had long since corrupted, filled with the aura of the Abyss of Catastrophe...
...which even Soga Yura was unwilling to casually control directly, this fortress hidden in the underground drainage system would have long been exposed to Soga Yura's vision.
But... even so.
Soga Yura still quickly found the lair these guys were hiding in the Harbor District.
She just hadn't made a move yet.
Soga Yura... keenly sensed the aura of that twisted monster hiding in the underground drainage system.
That monster's power... even she would find it troublesome.
But fortunately—
Soga Yura could sense the monster's defects and incompleteness.
Just like the Chimera of myth and legend, it was a stitched-together monster.
The aura of Catastrophe could not invade the city.
It could never be completed.
As long as the 'Eye of Insight' cult's claws and teeth within the city were severed, that monster would slowly wither away.
It wouldn't even require her to act.
It would die in the womb.
But... Soga Yura gazed at the deep, dark, massive drainage outlet on the harbor embankment, sensing the aura of the monster underground gradually awakening.
That reckless fool's Hound of Blood.
Had completed the monster's final puzzle piece.
Now... it could roar.
In the dark night, rain drifted down, and a dark red domain eroded and expanded, almost spreading above ground.
'Catastrophe Domain.'
This meant the monster had fully awakened.
Her crimson eyes reflected the range of the 'Catastrophe Domain.'
Almost without hesitation, Soga Yura turned and walked toward the office building's stairwell.
She didn't take the elevator.
That 'Catastrophe Domain' could expand further at any moment.
In a 'Catastrophe Domain,' electronic equipment not processed with special craftsmanship was extremely prone to losing control.
Soga Yura didn't want to be trapped in an elevator shaft.
Complaining about the reckless behavior of that 'Tiger of the Empire' from the Investigation Bureau's Fourth Action Division, Soga Yura panted as she descended the stairs.
She was already starting to regret climbing so high.
However... she wasn't going to support Kujou Katora.
Soga Yura planned to go home, hug her private body pillow, nuzzle it for a while, and get a good sleep.
That guy actually... actually went to see the late-night screening of 'The Flowers of Evil' with Yuzu, and they consumed two buckets of popcorn and six skewers of spicy chicken wings together.
From entering the cinema at 11:03:21 PM to coming out at 1:44:07 AM.
The movie ended at 1:30, and they dawdled inside for over ten minutes doing who knows what.
That guy definitely has improper designs on Yuzu, actually leading her Yuzu astray by staying up late.
She hadn't even gone to see a late-night movie with Yuzu herself!!!
Let alone an R16 age-restricted movie.
In the 'Operator Development' interface, Soga Yura's chibi figure had already turned into a (˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅) expression.
Biting her handkerchief, tears were about to fall.
In Soga Yura's mind, Kujou Katora's image had already turned into that of a delinquent girl coming to hook up with her 'innocent' younger sister.
As for... the rumors about Kujou Katora losing a bet to Su Yuzu in the hospital and being forced to learn how to bark like a dog...
Soga Yura completely ignored them.
It's only natural for Yuzu to bully others; if others bully Yuzu... then come and feel the thunderous wrath of the main Soga family's eldest young lady.
Ask her to save her?
How is that possible?
It's not like she's her Yuzu...
The thought in her head hadn't even settled.
Soga Yura's footsteps stopped, and she stared blankly in the direction of the harbor. Soga Yura could clearly feel... Yuzu's will, seeming to light up within the Catastrophe Domain.
Soga Yura, who had just been looking aggrieved and ready to cry in her heart, was now really about to cry.
That was a Semi-Catastrophe Beast infinitely close to the Fourth Sequence.
"Yu..."
"Yuzu!!!"
