"He's a verified idiot."
Ender said as he crafted a hammer. A blue light appeared taking a shape of hammer which dimmed to make hammer. Ruis was beside him seeing all this as he strucked upon the locks.
CLANG!
Wasn't enough so he did it again.
CLANG!
This time it cracked from one end but still it wasn't enough, seeing this Ender was quite surprised and exhausted but within that moment. Ruis extended his hand slightly towards it as mist forms on his hand which goes and revolves around the lock before rusting it completely, seeing this Ender glared at him with blank face.
~ Can't you do this before?.
He said telepathically.
~ I forgot..
Ruis does a innocent smile to cover himself up. As the mist flies everywhere to each lock, turning all of them completely to rust.
As Ender started slamming the hammer onto all of them one by one.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Now they had destroyed all the locks as Ender sat before leaning onto the sofa which was behind them, sweat streaming from his forehead as he wiped it off, taking some deep breaths as well.
Ruis was removing all the locks as he throws them to the floor. Opening the showcase before him, as his gaze was lingering over a small chest which looked like it was placed there few days ago. Curiosity was winning within him as he grabbed the chest and turned around towards Ender.
"Hey, this looks odd."
As Ender gaze witnessed over the chest. Standing up, he adjusted himself as he goes towards him. The astomphere was quite gripping as they heard heavy yet calm footsteps emerging towards them. A shadowy figure appeared on the door, it's hairs just little below it's neck. Seeing this, they immediately recognize who this figure was standing there.
"Hey there. What was the sound coming from here?."
Leon leaned to the door's frame, his arms crossed spoke with his lips curved to a warm smile. His light green eyes had that calm yet calculated vibes on them, as they stumbled upon the chest hanging in Ruis's hand.
"What this?. You find something."
He went towards them. As Ruis subconsciously gave the chest to him. After observing the chest from all corners, the feeling of curiosity of what unknown was resting there. Leon strenuously opens it.
A piece of a paper wrapped in red string was resting there untouched. As Leon take the paper out and drops the chest to the floor. He unfold the strings carefully before straightening the paper up. As Ruis and Ender came beside him, facing their heads to the paper. It was a letter of unknown person to Warner.
'Unknown

Unknown.'
Seeing the text written on the paper, Leon sighs as he clenched it, before folding it to his coat's pocket. Ender and Ruis witnessing all this had an unreadable expression. It was now not just a normal murder case but a war between organisations.
"I'll be going now. This must be need to shown to Captain. You two gather some more evidence and came with Azon."
Leon spoke as he walked outside, going downstairs to the spiral staircase. When he had gone, Ender sat on the sofa while Ruis to the door's frame seeing Leon stepping down the stairs as he disappeared from his sight within that moment.
"I'm going to check Zack. You stay here."
Ruis said firmly as he walked away, while Ender looked at him going with confused expression.
~ The hell is happening.
– Which is happening...
His inner voice mumbled to him.
***
Zack was sitting on a chair, he had leaned to it as if he didn't care about anything happening here. It was a big kitchen which was abandonment.
~ Damn.. I was stupid. Using my brain in those useless locks. It's so good here.
A faint smile appeared on his cheek. Nevertheless, ge gets up and stretches himself, there was a door which connected to a hallway as Zack walked to the door. As soon as he walked out from the door to the hallway. His eyes widened as if something had happened.
~ Wait. Why am I here?. Do I forgot?. Hey pal. Is this doorway effect?.
– Maybe...
~ Do you remember why we're here?.
– Some mission or task with that dumb and playboy..
Zack always thought Ender as dumb while Ruis as a playboy. As he sighs, scratching his hair as he adjusted it before walking down the hallway. As he walking he felt something was watching and approaching from behind. He reflectively turned around to saw no one. Confused, he didn't thought of it that much as he goes walking to the end.
***
"Zack!. You dummy!. Where are you!?. Response!."
Ruis was shouting standing on the corner of dining room , expecting to hear a call back from him. There was a hallway at his back.
As a hand patted on his shoulder. Before punching his face.
He fell off balance as he unconsciously turned around to saw Zack standing there with the usual teasing smirked on his cheeks. Seeing this Ruis outraged as he tried to punch him without any second thought. Zack moved little aside just enough to grabbed his arm. Ruis kick him off in his guts, as he fell down to the floor.
As Ruis seeing him laying on floor sighs and adjusted himself, with a faint smirked on his face.
"I'm gonna hit you so hard when you'll be daydreaming."
He spoke with a smirked as he lifted his arm to him.
"When do I daydream?."
Ruis lifted him up, as they're standing face to face now.
"Yoo. I knew who are you thinking about everytime.."
Hearing those words, Ruis expression flushed. His gray eyes startled.
"What does that supposed to mean?."
But Zack ignore him as he started walking around the room then to another connected to it. While Ruis was completely confused what he had mean..
~ D– Did he knew about me and Sara?.
While Zack on the other side, his hand sliding through the glass showcase.
~ Damn. I knew you are still yearning for that creamy chocolate cake.
Whenever they go to restaurants, Ruis usually ordered creamy chocolate cakes.
***
Ender was now roaming in another room which was infront of the spiral staircase, to the other side.
He hadn't found anything interesting yet. There were racks of shelves with decoratives pots and in between there was sofas with small tables, the drawers were opened.
As Ender was reading a files of texts as he throws it to corner which had a flower vase.
He walked and leaned to the sofa.
~ Why the hell I'm being engaged in this shit?.
He sighs. Closing his eyes for a while. Suddenly he sense as if someone was standing behind him, starring at him vigorously. He opened his eyes and tilted his head enough to saw no one standing there.
~ Someone was there. I knew, some one is with us. This can't be a hallucination.
As he gets up and adjusted himself. He sense as if something was standing beside him.
~ I need to see through 4th dimension.
As he sighs, closing his eyes. Then he goes to the switchboard of the room, closing all the lights off. Now darkness had shrouded the whole room.
As Ender carefully walking sat on the ground in middle. As he felt someone hands touching his coat.
"Freeze!."
His words made the thing freeze for just a moment as he uses his coat to grabbed it's hands. The thing made his coat burn in impact. As Ender chanted.
"In the name of greatest loved. Stop."
The burning stop and he made the thing lay down, as he crafted some chains and weared them to it's hands even ankles, together, to around his back.
Then he using telekinesis because of his dimensionality, turned on the lights again. Before he sighs and made his eyes aligned with the 4th dimension frequencies.
As he sighs and opens his eyes, witnessing what creature was sitting before him, along with the world itself. All the objects here were going on forever as he control himself to make it normal, then his eyes stumbled upon the creature. He was flushed of what he was seeing infront of him.
It was a beautiful silver hair girl, her skin gleaming like rose. Her crimson lips quivered as if she was scared. Her red pleaded eyes glaring him. Her hands and her feet were tied with chains. She was wearing a red yukata.
"W– Who are you?."
Ender mumbled.
"A soul."
She slowly whispered.
