Notebook

• If these blue pills that Gantz had can unlock one's hidden potential, it could explain the connection between several seemingly unrelated incidents, including the mafia's recent behavior.
• According to Detective Dudley, the First Division has been investigating the drug for several days since receiving a tip from an informant.
• After the raid on Heiyue, they were ordered to cut off that investigation and focus on the dispute between the mafias instead.
• Someone at the top must have given the order. If the mafia is pulling their strings, then the situation couldn't be worse.
• With the First Division's hands tied, the SSS will take over the drug investigation with Chief Sergei's protection, unofficially cooperating with the First Division.
• For our first step, we should determine the composition of the blue pills. An expert in pharmaceutical research, such as Professor Guenter, would be able to analyze it for us. Let's ask at St. Ursula Medical College.
• We'll be busy from now on. Let's try to complete any support requests beforehand.
• Got to the hospital. Let's check the front desk.
• Dr. Guenter said he can see us. His office is in the research ward.
• Dr. Guenter took a look at the pills. He hasn't seen any in this shade of blue.
• He will begin the analysis immediately, but he doesn't know how long it will take. He'll update us tomorrow around noon.
• He told us a disturbing story. Several years ago, a religious cult manufactured a mysterious drug with effects like those we've witnessed. It was called Gnosis.
• We left Dr. Guenter a sample for him to analyze. Let's return to the city.
• Back at the entrance, Tio collapsed due to anemia. Cecile brought her to her bed.
• The religious cult that Dr. Guenter mentioned was directly connected to Tio's past.
• This cult experimented using any means they could to enhance the sensory receptivity of their victims. It wasn't just a story.
• We brought Tio back to the SSS. Let's go over the evidence after she has rested.
• Chief Sergei told us the full story about the connection between Guy and Arios, and the existence of the D∴G cult.
• The next morning, we received word from Mainz's Mayor Bickson that Gantz disappeared. Just in case, we should check on the others who've taken the drug as well.
• According to the First Division, the following people are suspected of drug use:
  ·An Arc en Ciel newcomer, Nikolai
  ·A Saber Viper, Dino
  ·A stockbroker in the Residential District, Bond
• We asked Troupe Leader Avan. Nikolai wasn't seen returning home yesterday. Nobody knows where he is.
• We asked about the Saber Viper, Dino. It was clear something was wrong with him before. It looks like he's not around, as well...
• Wazy has some info for us. Let's stop by Trinity.
• Wazy said that Dino has been acting strange recently. Dino had challenged Wald to a fight yesterday.
• He was keeping up with Wald, but was eventually overpowered. Afterward, he went off somewhere, and hasn't been seen since.
• We questioned Creil. She hasn't seen her husband, Bond, this morning.
• We stopped by Mr. Grimwood's. Mr. Hayworth was there to tell us that Rizero, a manager of a trading company, has also gone missing. (When entering Grimwood Law Office)
• Everyone suspected of using blue pills has gone missing. It's extremely likely that this is only the tip of the iceberg, and that many others have gone missing in Crossbell City.
• Detective Dudley called us to tell us something happened at Revache & Co. We need to hurry over there.
• We met up with Detective Dudley at Revache. No one else seems to be inside.
• According to him, the police HQ received a threat from someone claiming they were going to plant explosives at Crossbell Airport.
• The First Division received orders from the top to stop investigating Revache and guard the airport. Because of this, they don't know when Revache's men disappeared.
• It's clear this is an attempt by the higher-ups at HQ to cover things up, but we don't have time to pursue that issue right now. Detective Dudley will join us for our investigation.
• Discovered two keyholes behind the painting in the reception room.
• We found a memo stuck between the pages of a magazine. It says: 'The title and author of the most popular fairy tale at the library.' This must be a hint for the password.
• We entered the password, and the gate opened on the first floor. Let's proceed.
• We entered the warehouse and encountered monsters that aren't native to Crossbell. This must be another trade Revache deals in.
• Obtained a sapphirl key in the warehouse.
• There's a strange gap in a 3rd floor bookshelf. It seems to be a weight-sensitive panel.
• Placed the gold pedestal in the gap. A hidden door opened.
• We entered the armory and encountered some archaisms. They must have been made by the society that Estelle and Joshua told us about. There could be more. We'll proceed carefully.
• Obtained a carnelia key in the armory.
• We got both keys. We should be able to unlock the contraption in the reception room. (When obtaining the keys after revealing the keyholes)
• We found two keys. Let's see if there's anywhere here we can use them. (When obtaining the keys before revealing the keyholes)
• A hidden stairway opened up in the middle of the reception room. Let's explore it.
• This room appears to belong to the don. Let's search it thoroughly.
• In the chest, I found Gnosis delivery and shipping receipts. I also found a damaged CPD badge.
• There's no mistaking it. This badge was my brother's.
• All of the missing people are listed on the receipts, confirming that Revache was involved in their distribution.
• Someone related to the cult must be supplying Revache with the drug, but we don't know who.
• We must seek out further assistance to resolve this case. We know we won't get any cooperation from the top brass of the police. Let's seek out the Bracer Guild instead.
