Chapter 97 - Tiyanak

Flashing through the city, Ryuu soon arrives at the parking lot where he breezley passes through the police blocking the way where Trese along with the twin seemingly investigating a death of a woman who had her body gruesomely disemboweled.

"Whoever did this surely had sharp fangs and claws."

"Eh!!"

The twin screams in surprise as he has been beside them this whole time only to notice when he spoke. Trese heard his voice turn to see him not wearing the mask.

"Oh Lord! Why the hell did you sneak up on like that!"

"You almost gave us a heart attack!"

The twin exclaimed glaring towards Ryuu who ignored them. He only inwardly chuckled at their reaction.

"Yaldabaoth, I'm surprised you didn't wear a mask." Trese said.

"Well I just thought it was entertaining. Anyway, I've received the payment and the reason why I'm here."

Ryuu learned from the books that every known superstition of his region was true. He learned the races or rather tribes living in Manila and made him aware that there is a treaty among the races made by the Lakan who is Trese family title who maintain peace among them.

However, from what he can see that it is currently tipping over and would eventually cause large scale war from each race due to a prophecy for told that shall end one world and destroy the rest.

The sixth child of the sixth child was known to be as Alexandra Trese. The young woman before him. Ryuu frowned upon the prophecy, finding how cliché it was. Like hell he let it happen!

"Then do you have any suggestion of how she died?"

"It's clearly not human….and it left a trail over there."

Ryuu pointed at the blood stain and followed it where the track stopped towards the drain that leads to the sewer. He spread his vision to find the creature but it had already escaped far.

"That's too small to fit anyone."( Guerrero )

"What about the CCTV footage?"( Trese )

"Don't bother, they'll likely not want it to become a scandal. Anyway, I've used my ability and found that whoever did this already escaped. Is there another way to get the CCTV footage?"

"There is…."

Trese was reluctant but decided to head towards a certain place. Ryuu was surprised to learn that their car was destroyed the other day, which is why their car was only a rental car.

They walk their way to a computer cafe and arrive in a dimly lit room where there is almost no monitor. Few minutes later, a chubby ghost appeared playing a game. He was only watching at the side when Trese threatened the ghost using her dagger.

"Who's this new guy?"

"Nothing important, just show my CCTV footage."

"Ouch…"

Ryuu wryly smiles being called nothing important but dismisses it as they watch the security camera finding that she was in a call by a rather famous actress, Nova Aurora but he hardly cares about showbiz since they are more fake than fiction.

"My intuition is that this woman did something horrible for her career. Does Tiyanak exist?"

A Tiyanak, a creature that is from infants that died and abandoned by their mother that normally has not been baptized by the church. He asked, making them confused and curious as to why he was asking but Trese could feel that he's into something.
