Absolutely not!
Going to a restaurant when you already get meals from the institution,
is what I call a luxury!
I'm sure you're doing this for Martin,
but why not just leave things to the police?
I'll take care of things by myself this time.
Huh?
I'll help!
I'll definitely return this favor.
I was able to help you because of Sophie's help.
If you're gonna return the favor, you should return it to her.
Miss Melia Wild?
I am Pawn, the one who contacted you.
Thank you very much for taking an interest in us.
I read the e-mail. Those are pretty good terms.
Well, that's to be expected since you are trying to head hunt me.
I hope we can go into a little more detail?
About this El Dorado, that wants my skills so badly.
Yes, of course.
A certain problem has come up though.
What is it?
I've gotten a little hungry.
Huh?
Oh, that was bad of me.
We'll have to find someone else now.
I-Is there something that you need?!
There is no reason for you to trouble yourself,
we have enough help on this side!
Master Knight.
Our special menu for today!
Missing person cases.
These last two weeks, they've been happening one after another.
They are all in their late teens or in their twenties.
While Horrors have been sensed at various locations,
the specifics are still unknown.
One of the missing victims left a friend an e-mail saying,
"I'm being scouted by El Dorado."
Let me see!
Sword!
Don't follow me!
I don't have time to deal with you this time. Go home!
Give it up.
Why?
What is El Dorado? Why is Sword chasing after it?
I'm sure he'll tell you once he is ready.
Whoa.
Hey, now. Are you trying to pass through here without greeting us?!
Haven't seen your face before.
Looks like we need to teach you about the rules around here.
Hey.
Yeah, that's right.
He definitely said something like that.
"If I go to El Dorado, I'll be able to live a better life."
Isn't El Dorado the name of some ancient civilization or something?
The city of gold. A legend from the Andes region.
Does that have anything to do with him missing?
That's what I'm looking into right now. Anything else?
Not really.
If I knew something like this would happen,
I should have asked for more details.
Even private detectives are getting involved. Did he do something bad?
No, well. We're just following up on a client's request.
I see. Well, the police are useless around here.
The victims were all single or working away from home.
They had few acquaintances, if any, in the city,
making it difficult for others to notice when they suddenly go missing.
College student. Programmer. Neuroscience researcher.
Specialist in electronic engineering.
An internet game vlogger.
The only thing in common is that they are involved with the internet.
It's more difficult to find people not involved with the net these days.
That man was the only person who mentioned the word El Dorado.
The others may not be involved or they didn't have anyone to tell.
Or they were silenced.
If you get too caught up with this keyword,
you may lose the big picture.
Don't worry. I'll do my job properly.
Is El Dorado a place? Or could it be the name of an organization?
Looking for a person?
People move in and outta here fast.
No one remembers things from three years ago.
On top of that, a kid?
If they're lucky, they're sent to a home.
Most of them join a gang or are long dead.
Oh, and you said it was a girl?
Then she might be standing on a street corner somewhere.
Oh, hey! I gave you information so give me something! Hey!
A new experience in virtual reality!
Easy retina scan access!
ELDO NET is currently open for beta testing!
Oh, I noticed the guy hadn't been posting lately. He went missing?
Must've ran out of ideas.
Huh? Seriously? Isn't this getting to be a real problem?
I'm pretty much also struggling with school credits.
Wish I could just disconnect from it. LOL
Has there been any talk about it in direct messaging?
100% sure he's pulling a prank for the views!
Speaking of disappearances. Anyone know where Team Omega went?
Team Omega?
Remember the online game, Dark Strike?
They were always at the top of the rankings,
but they suddenly disappeared.
Bet they got tired of it and quit.
No. No. No. They're all junkies over there.
Good riddance. Their chat messages were always annoying.
All of it were inside jokes no one else understood.
Stuff like, "Get on the El Dorado bus!"
El Dorado bus?
They were all hyped up about it before disappearing.
"If you go to El Dorado, you'll find happiness." Or something.
Isn't that dangerous? A cult?
Maybe so.
Where are you going, Sophie?
Oh, uh! For a walk!
Then why are you trying to sneak out the back?
Listen, Sophie.
It's too late, after the fact.
You've just been lucky until now. Do you understand?
But, Sister. I'm not...
I understand how you feel.
But you're still just a child.
I want to protect you until you become an adult.
Yes...
Please wait a moment.
Thank you for waiting.
I'm sorry for visiting so suddenly.
I am tour coordinator for educational institutions.
An education agent, Pawn.
Don't move! What are you doing here?!
"Get on the El Dorado bus"...?
Yeah. About ten days ago, that seven-member team
suddenly stopped logging in.
That's the shop the team used to meet up offline.
Their leader works part-time there.
So when they meet, it's usually that shop.
That area is where Mr. Luke is currently looking.
I'll contact him!
I don't know if it'll be much help.
No, it is. Thanks.
Sorry about earlier.
I know that you're not a stranger to El Dorado yourself.
Once I find something out, I'll definitely tell you.
Thanks!
But!
Go home for today. Leave the rest to us.
Yeah!
That shop, huh?
There it is.
They did a pretty good job hiding it...
It's a barrier made by a Horror.
Still breathing.
Looks like they're all just unconscious.
It's like a storage unit.
Could it be like the last one,
storing them and eating them up one by one?
Maybe they wanted to put them "on the bus" instead.
They're sending them out of the city?
Could there be a nest of Horrors somewhere?
I'll call for back-up.
We can't handle of all these hostages ourselves.
It's me. We found the missing people.
That's right. We don't have enough people.
Send a request for help to Fei Long and the others.
The number of victims...
The targets for the Horror?
All the areas you've been walking around in are there.
This place...
Understood. We'll wait at the site.
Hey!
Sophie's home is marked on the Horror's map!
This is an emergency! Sword has--
Sorry. We have an emergency order here ourselves.
We just got word.
It looks like something crazy is wandering around.
Please leave the victims to Mr. Fei Long.
Mr. Luke, please go and support Mr. Sword.
Understood.
What the hell is going on?
Everyone! I have some wonderful news for you today.
Next month, everyone will be going camping!
What?!
Camping? Do we have that kind of money?
Children shouldn't worry about such things.
A representative came today and informed us
about an affordable tour specially made for institutions like us.
Shouldn't we take this chance to go out together?
Right!
Hey! Hey! Where are we going camping?
I heard it was a wonderful place!
The facility is new, so it's not well-known.
But I've been told everyone who went found happiness there!
"If you go to El Dorado, you'll find happiness." Or something.
Sister, that affordable tour...
Please wait a moment.
Yes!
Who is here at a time like this?
You are...
I am sorry for bothering you so late.
The preparations for the tour is complete,
so we've come to pick you up.
What?
Um, it's true I accepted your offer, but this is sudden.
Wasn't it supposed to be two weeks from now?
They often say, "Better now than later."
You are all very lucky.
Now, please grasp for the happiness.
At the city of miracles, El Dorado!
But we are not prepared to suddenly leave like this.
Your circumstances do not matter.
Things have changed, we must leave the city immediately.
You are all third-rate products.
You cannot support El Dorado, but you will be useful as food.
I cannot appear before the king empty-handed!
Sister!
Sophie! Take everyone to Mr. Brooks!
Tell them to call the police!
No! He might be a Horror!
--You have to come with us, Sister! --Hurry!
I won't let you escape!
I won't let you lay a finger on my children!
Teacher! Mr. Brooks!
Teacher! Teacher!
What's going on, at a time like this?!
A crazy person is at the home!
Please call the police! Please!
--Sophie! --Sophie!
Calm down! Calm down!
Hi, this is the diner!
Please call Sword!
Hurry!
You can't!
Don't get in my way.
Wait. What do you plan to do to Sophie...?
Run... away...
Sophia Hennes. I have been looking for you.
My master, the King of El Dorado, summons you.
You!
Garo, huh?
You finally appeared before me.
Dark Knight!
