"JANUARY 13, 2096"
[00:31] ---
Another incompatible one?
[00:33] ---
No good.
[00:35] ---
This time, after implanting the copy,
[00:37] ---
I tried completely blocking the connection.
[00:41] ---
However, like with the others,
[00:42] ---
it absorbed Psions from the sample's blood,
[00:44] ---
but then returned instead
of remaining stable inside.
[00:49] ---
Then, even with the right attributes,
if they lack strong desires,
[00:52] ---
they can't become like us.
[00:54] ---
Are there people who have no desires?
[00:58] ---
Are you saying there's another factor?
[01:01] ---
We need more samples
to get to the bottom of that.
[02:38] ---
Bizarre murder incident?
[02:40] ---
I hear the bodies are drained of blood.
[02:42] ---
Are we sure they weren't just anemic?
[02:46] ---
It's rare to see you yawn, Leo.
[02:50] ---
Yeah, I was up late last night.
[02:54] ---
Hey, Tatsuya!
[02:57] ---
Did you see the news yesterday?
[02:59] ---
News? About the vampire?
[03:01] ---
Yeah. I think it's a
professional crime organization
[03:04] ---
of blood traffickers instead
of organ traffickers.
[03:08] ---
10% of the victims' blood is gone, right?
[03:13] ---
My question is why is only 10% taken?
[03:17] ---
Murder probably isn't the intention.
[03:19] ---
They most likely want to keep the victims alive
and use them as blood factories.
[03:24] ---
If that's the case, they wouldn't
have abandoned the bodies in town.
[03:28] ---
Besides, there are no wounds on any
of the bodies where blood was taken from.
[03:36] ---
I see.
[03:37] ---
You're right. It is strange
that the bodies have no marks like that.
[03:41] ---
Maybe an occult being did it
like they're saying on TV.
[03:47] ---
An occult being...
[03:50] ---
Mikihiko...
[03:51] ---
Do you think a supernatural creature
or some kind of monster is responsible?
[03:57] ---
I don't believe a normal human
is behind it, but I can't rule it out.
[04:02] ---
Speaking of the occult,
[04:04] ---
that's what magic was considered
to be until just 100 years ago.
[04:08] ---
Tatsuya, do you think a magician
is committing these crimes?
[04:13] ---
We can't discount that possibility, either.
[04:15] ---
Please not that.
[04:17] ---
Like with the humanists, there's this
trending idea to expunge magicians from society,
[04:22] ---
and I don't want it to gain any popularity.
[04:30] ---
I don't see Lina here.
[04:33] ---
No, Brother.
[04:35] ---
She had some emergency at home,
so she's absent today.
[04:41] ---
That reminds me...
[04:43] ---
I wonder how Shizuku is doing.
[04:46] ---
Well...
[04:47] ---
I talked to her on the phone
again for a bit last night...
[04:50] ---
And she was surprised
by the vampire serial murder news, too.
[04:55] ---
She said something similar
is happening in America, too.
[05:00] ---
Really?
[05:02] ---
Yeah. Not on the West Coast where Shizuku is,
but in the Dallas area, in the Southwest.
[05:09] ---
That's the first I've heard of it.
[05:12] ---
She didn't see it on the news.
Another exchange student told her about it.
[05:17] ---
Oh, I see.
[05:20] ---
"JANUARY 15, 2096"
[05:31] ---
Silvia here.
[05:32] ---
Hunter Q, Hunter R, report.
[05:35] ---
Currently tracking,
heading toward West Shibuya.
[05:39] ---
Hold on. I'm picking up a response.
[05:41] ---
The subject is in an empty lot
500 meters ahead of you.
[05:46] ---
I'm showing one person.
Use the pincer movement.
[05:48] ---
Roger.
[05:48] ---
Roger.
[05:50] ---
I'll take the right.
[05:51] ---
Roger.
[05:58] ---
The military pursuit team is closing in.
[06:00] ---
I know.
[06:02] ---
Just two Stardust members.
They're taking me lightly.
[06:07] ---
That's because they only know
your previous self.
[06:10] ---
That makes sense.
[06:12] ---
If they only know me
as a Satellite-Class magician,
[06:15] ---
then I can imagine
what they're going to try with me.
[06:19] ---
I don't need any backup.
[06:24] ---
Deimos Second, wanted deserter...
[06:26] ---
Put your hands up
with your fingers apart.
[06:31] ---
We were told to eliminate you
as soon as we found you.
[06:35] ---
But we are authorized to bring you in
with a lower punishment by one degree
[06:39] ---
if you provide us information
on the other fugitives.
[06:45] ---
We'll give you ten seconds
to think about it.
[06:48] ---
No, that isn't necessary.
[06:51] ---
You two cannot kill me.
[06:59] ---
Trajectory Distortion Spell?
[07:01] ---
The Cast Jammer isn't working?
[07:04] ---
Well, there's nothing wrong
with the Cast Jammer. It's just that...
[07:09] ---
I no longer need a CAD.
[07:26] ---
You can change
the trajectory of my knife?
[07:28] ---
How can you use
powerful magic like that?
[07:32] ---
You can't fathom it?
I'm not the man I was before.
[07:36] ---
Bull!
[07:53] ---
Die!
[08:01] ---
Vector Reflection Spell? This strength...
[08:05] ---
Angie Sirius?
[08:22] ---
This Psionic wave pattern...
[08:36] ---
Hey, are you okay?
[08:50] ---
That hurt!
[08:53] ---
Are you wearing carbon armor
under that coat?
[08:56] ---
Makes all the difference.
[09:00] ---
Panzer!
[09:16] ---
What the... I'm losing my strength...
[09:22] ---
Dammit! Take this!
[09:32] ---
That one punch was effective.
[09:36] ---
But...
[09:37] ---
it wasn't a decisive blow.
[10:05] ---
Cast Jamming? No, this is...
[10:09] ---
Major, what's wrong?
[10:15] ---
I lost sight of the subject.
[10:36] ---
"VISITOR ARC II"
[10:38] ---
"JANUARY 16, 2096"
[10:43] ---
Everyone got here early, huh?
[10:46] ---
You guys saw me at my lamest.
[10:49] ---
You were put through the wringer.
[10:51] ---
I mean, you don't look physically injured...
[10:54] ---
so what happened?
[10:56] ---
I don't really know.
[11:00] ---
We were slugging it out, and then,
all of a sudden, I was weak as a kitten.
[11:05] ---
Luckily, Erika's big brother, the police chief,
found me passed out on the ground.
[11:12] ---
And you weren't poisoned, right?
[11:15] ---
Nope. The blood test came back negative.
[11:19] ---
Did you get a good look
at your opponent?
[11:22] ---
I saw, but I wouldn't say
I got a good look.
[11:25] ---
There was a hat pulled down low,
a totally white mask, a long coat,
[11:29] ---
and under that, hardened body armor.
[11:33] ---
So, I can't tell you anything
about looks or body type.
[11:36] ---
Except...
[11:37] ---
I had a feeling it was a woman.
[11:40] ---
A woman held her own
against you in a fistfight?
[11:44] ---
Well, it's not like that's impossible.
[11:46] ---
Even an elementary school girl could strangle
a big man to death if she drugged him first.
[11:51] ---
True.
[11:53] ---
But it's also possible
that she wasn't a normal human.
[11:58] ---
Do you know something about it?
[12:02] ---
I think Leo ran into a parasite.
[12:08] ---
Parasite... Like a worm?
[12:12] ---
Paranormal parasite. A supernatural bug.
[12:16] ---
Or just "parasite" for short.
[12:18] ---
Specter, evil spirit, jinn, demon...
[12:22] ---
Things that are ascribed various notions in
countries all over the world, but essentially,
[12:26] ---
they're things with magical
properties that latch on to people
[12:29] ---
and turn them into something
other than human.
[12:32] ---
Is that what a vampire really is?
[12:36] ---
Leo...
[12:37] ---
Yeah?
[12:39] ---
Can I take a look at your ethereal body?
[12:42] ---
Ethereal body?
[12:44] ---
The ethereal body is spirit energy.
In other words, a bundle of life force.
[12:48] ---
It's thought that...
[12:50] ---
monsters that eat human flesh absorb
spirit energy through the blood and meat...
[12:54] ---
and nourish themselves.
[12:57] ---
Vampires drink blood,
[12:59] ---
but is it really the spirit energy
they absorb with it that they need?
[13:05] ---
Yes. But if we're talking
non-physical creatures,
[13:09] ---
all they should need
is just the spirit energy itself.
[13:12] ---
I see.
[13:13] ---
So, it wouldn't be crazy to have vampires
that only absorbed spirit energy.
[13:18] ---
If Leo lets me examine his ethereal body,
I should be able to see what was done to him.
[13:23] ---
To be honest,
[13:25] ---
right from the beginning, I didn't think
these vampire slayings were just bizarre crimes.
[13:30] ---
That's what my intuition
as an old caster told me.
[13:35] ---
It's just that I didn't have
any proof until now,
[13:37] ---
so I didn't bring the parasites up.
[13:41] ---
But because of my reluctance,
Leo was attacked...
[13:44] ---
Go ahead.
[13:46] ---
Do it, Mikihiko.
[13:48] ---
Are you sure?
[13:49] ---
Yeah!
[13:51] ---
Investigate all you like!
[14:02] ---
Did you find anything?
[14:05] ---
Leo, are you...
[14:07] ---
really human?
[14:09] ---
Hey, that's a fine response.
[14:13] ---
I mean, if a normal caster
had this much spirit energy stolen...
[14:18] ---
they'd be comatose right now.
[14:21] ---
But the fact that you can sit up and talk
just goes to show your high level of endurance.
[14:28] ---
What can I say?
My body's made of strong stuff. So...
[14:33] ---
we're saying I lost my strength last night
[14:37] ---
because the masked woman
leeched my spirit energy?
[14:41] ---
I think so.
[14:43] ---
But...
[14:44] ---
if she could absorb your spirit energy
just through touching you alone,
[14:47] ---
there should've been no need
for her to steal your blood, too.
[14:50] ---
Why did this parasite
go to the trouble of taking blood?
[15:03] ---
Will Leo be all right?
[15:06] ---
I'm worried.
[15:08] ---
I hope he recovers soon.
[15:11] ---
Mikihiko...
[15:13] ---
I forgot to ask you this before,
but are these parasites really that common?
[15:21] ---
No. They appear very rarely.
[15:24] ---
But this real demon is responsible
for the vampire murders, right?
[15:30] ---
I believe so.
[15:32] ---
Do you think it's a coincidence?
[15:35] ---
Certainly, historically,
the closer to the modern age you go,
[15:37] ---
the frequency of recorded observations
of demons decreases.
[15:42] ---
It's a stretch to think
these are just random murders.
[15:50] ---
Well, I know the truth.
[15:55] ---
You're a real trouper.
[16:00] ---
A genuine compliment from you...
I'll take it.
[16:06] ---
I gave you a genuine compliment.
[16:17] ---
Brother!
[16:19] ---
You were listening to that, weren't you?
[16:22] ---
It was fascinating.
[16:25] ---
So, if Yoshida's second son's hypothesis
is right, what are you going to do?
[16:32] ---
In a situation like this,
it doesn't matter whether he's right or wrong.
[16:35] ---
Even if it's only for a short time, anyone
who steps through the Chiba Gate is our pupil.
[16:40] ---
And I'm the one who taught
the basics of that technique.
[16:44] ---
We're talking my pupil here,
so I can't just do nothing!
[16:48] ---
--Such a cold reason.
--It doesn't need to be anything else.
[16:52] ---
I don't know if this vampire
is a man or woman,
[16:55] ---
but if it wants a fight, I'll give it one!
[16:59] ---
"MAXIMILLIAN DEVICES - TOKYO BRANCH OFFICE"
[17:03] ---
Report, please.
[17:05] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[17:07] ---
After cornering Deimos Second,
we used a Cast Jammer to block his CAD.
[17:14] ---
But it didn't work on him.
[17:20] ---
The Cast Jammer wasn't working?
[17:23] ---
No, it operated normally.
[17:26] ---
Deimos Second claimed...
[17:29] ---
that he didn't need CAD anymore.
[17:33] ---
He doesn't need CAD anymore...
[17:37] ---
Are you saying
Sergeant Sullivan became psychic?
[17:41] ---
Affirmative.
[17:43] ---
But his Psionic wave properties
didn't change, right?
[17:46] ---
We would've recognized it if it did.
[17:50] ---
While I was pursuing Sergeant Sullivan,
[17:53] ---
I came into contact with someone
who appeared to be his partner.
[17:56] ---
Weren't you able to measure
that person's Psionic wave properties?
[18:01] ---
I'm sorry.
[18:02] ---
We were only able to recognize
the Psionic waves of Deimos Second and yours.
[18:07] ---
I see.
[18:12] ---
Going forth, when we're tracking down a fugitive,
try to refrain from engaging with them.
[18:19] ---
I'll deal with that part.
[18:22] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[18:22] ---
Yes, ma'am.
[18:26] ---
The chasers weren't able to
identify White Mask's Psi-waves.
[18:31] ---
Really?
[18:32] ---
It seems the fugitives
have all gained various abilities.
[18:44] ---
I wish I could just stay like that.
[18:46] ---
It's easier to maintain Parade
than hide my magic use.
[18:53] ---
Anyway...
[18:56] ---
I wonder why they're attacking
Japanese people.
[19:00] ---
Why?
[19:02] ---
They're being pursued.
[19:04] ---
You'd think they would want
to stay underground as much as possible.
[19:09] ---
I don't have the answer to that.
[19:11] ---
But...
[19:13] ---
But what?
[19:16] ---
I have a feeling it's related
to the strange ability they've gained.
[19:20] ---
Strange ability...
[19:21] ---
You mean the vampire power,
stealing blood without leaving a wound?
[19:26] ---
I don't know if "vampire"
is the right word, but...
[19:37] ---
Lina? I'm going to draw the curtain.
[19:41] ---
What are you doing?
[19:43] ---
Oh, this is just...
SIGN "FIRST HIGH SCHOOL EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FEDERATION HEADQUARTERS"
[19:48] ---
Now, someone from our school
has fallen victim to the vampire incident.
[19:52] ---
It's Leonhard Saijo of Class 1-E.
[19:55] ---
Yes, I've heard.
[19:57] ---
As far as my family
has been able to determine,
[20:00] ---
the vampire has left 24 victims
so far including Saijo.
[20:06] ---
Three times what the media has reported.
[20:08] ---
Were all of them in Tokyo and the suburbs?
[20:12] ---
Just the Tokyo metro area
and concentrated in the inner city.
[20:16] ---
The police aren't aware of all the victims,
but the Saegusa Family is...
[20:24] ---
Is one of the victims
related to your family?
[20:28] ---
You're half-right.
[20:30] ---
The victims that the police don't know about
are all magicians who have helped us.
[20:36] ---
Apparently, all the other victims
were either magicians or had magic potential.
[20:43] ---
Are you saying the killer is hunting magicians?
[20:49] ---
Jumonji, you're scaring me.
[20:54] ---
Sorry.
[20:56] ---
Anyway, I think we can say
the vampire is targeting magicians.
[21:03] ---
If the killer has the ability
to harm Saegusa magicians,
[21:06] ---
then it's most likely a super soldier
or another magician.
[21:11] ---
And odds are the killer is a foreigner.
[21:15] ---
Have any suspicious
foreigners entered the country
[21:18] ---
around the time the killings started?
[21:19] ---
Good question.
[21:21] ---
There are quite a few overseas magician students
and magic technicians from the USNA in Japan.
[21:28] ---
We have one exchange student
here at our school, too, but...
[21:33] ---
do you think she's suspicious, Jumonji?
[21:37] ---
Suspicious, yes, but not the killer.
[21:41] ---
I have a feeling
she's got something to do with it,
[21:43] ---
but for now, I think
we can put her on the back burner.
[21:50] ---
Jumonji, I have a message from my father,
[21:52] ---
or rather, Koichi Saegusa,
the head of the Saegusa Family.
[21:58] ---
The Saegusa Family wishes to have
an alliance with the Jumonji Family.
[22:07] ---
After having our discussion,
[22:09] ---
I realized that this is not a situation
the Jumonji Family can ignore, either.
[22:14] ---
We will cooperate with you.
