Atsushi was walking down the same path he’d used to chase the thieves last time. The four of them were heading to the art museum’s basement. They traveled through the sterile white hallway before stopping in front of a familiar automatic door. Right to the side of the door was an authentication panel used for security. The door would, in theory, open if they were to hold a gold coin over the panel.

Waiting for them behind the door was a gold-coin area.

“This door oughta be less than two inches thick, Boss,” claimed Atsushi while tapping on the door.

“Guess there’s only one way to find out.”

The boss opened his large hand and placed it on the automatic door. His hand then sank into it while radiating a faint light until he was wrist-deep inside as if the door didn’t even exist.

“All right, we’re good. Matasaburo, hold my hand.”

“Huh?” Atsushi instinctively squeaked.

“Whaddaya mean, ‘huh’? You know about my skill. Hurry up.”

After seeing the boss wave him over, Atsushi suddenly remembered that the boss’s skill allowed not only him but anyone he touched to go through walls. In other words, all four of them needed to hold hands to go through the wall.

“Hurry up, new guy. What, got a problem with holdin’ the boss’s hand or somethin’?” Gab urged him on.

Atsushi thereupon took the boss’s hand with grim determination. The boss smirked. Atsushi then took Gab’s hand on his other side, while Gab took Virgo’s in his. Hand in hand, the three of them leaped through the door as if they were jumping into water. The feeling of walking through walls was a lot subtler than Atsushi had imagined. It was like walking through a thin piece of film and was over in the blink of an eye. He unconsciously had his eyes closed.

And just like that, Atsushi was finally able to sneak into a gold-coin area—and so easily, since it had the reputation of essentially being a military facility.

He was finally here, but the problem was what came next. He had to go to the fifth basement floor where the briefcase—where Annihilation—was.

“Atsushi, can you hear me?” asked Dazai in a cheerful voice. “We just had a pleasant conversation with the captain, and he apparently doesn’t know a thing about the briefcase. Fortunately, though, he was kind enough to tell us about the secret zone’s layout and guards.”

“He was kind enough to tell us”? Atsushi wondered.

He had thought about that as well: Perhaps the captain could give them some secret information on the zone. However, they would need to somehow convince him to help, since he would be violating the law of the island, so they needed information worthy of gaining his trust and time to persuade him. Surely he wouldn’t even believe them if they asked him to break the rules because Yokohama was going to be vaporized.

“Did you tell him the island was going to be destroyed?” asked Atsushi.

“Well, we did, but he didn’t believe us. That’s why we had to give him a little more incentive to be cooperative.
