『三か月前――』
アポ「やってくれたね」
胸を貫くアポの腕を握って離さないリンクと、リンクの首絞めて止めさそうとしてるアポ
アポ「この行動は……」「”記憶を消されるくらいなら 自らを殺害させてでも痕跡を残そう” ということかな?」
「実に最低なアイディアだ監察官」この状況では誰もが監察官を殺したのはアレンかノアだと思うだろう」
ジョニー、一コマ
アポ「おまえでさえも」「だがあの男は疑う……!」「全てに疑いの眼を張り巡らせるマルコム=C=ルベリエ」
リ「あなたは長官が苦手でおられるようだ… ”枢機卿”」
ズシャと腕を引き抜くアポ「まったくもって最低だ」
枢機卿の姿に戻ってくアポ
無線から『リンク監査官!!』『応答したまえ! リンク監査官!!』
枢機卿の独り言?誰かと交信中?「はい…』「わかっています お任せください」

目が覚めるたリンク、ベッドに寝てる
チュンチュン チチチチチと室内に入り込んだ鳥の鳴き声
リ「……………?」
ズゥ「熱にうなされて20日間眠り続けていたんじゃよ」
リンク、はっ。ハイバックチェアに座ったズゥに気付く
ズゥ「ちなみに今は…午前11だ」「気分はどうかな……?」

ズゥ「ここは私が中央勤めだったときに住んでいた館だ……今では資料や文献を保管する為にしか使っておらんがの……」

そして心なしか老師がガリガリのような…
ズボンをはいたところで鏡に映った自分の胸に傷跡があるのを見るリンク
ドクッ「……!? これ……」
リンクが傷跡に指を触れるとザワと癒闇蛇みたいなのが現れる
リ「!?」ズダッっと後ろに跳びすさるリンク「っは」「はあ」(幻覚!?)「なんだ今のは……っ」はぁ(確かに今……!?)
ズゥ「おまえは死の傷を受けアレン・ウォーカーの監房で事切れる寸前じゃった……」
「マルコムに嘆願され 救うために癒闇蛇を介して私の命をおまえに分けた」
「私にとって最期の命となった……」
リ「最 期…!?」
-癒闇蛇 人から人へととり憑き生命の理を乱す忌み忌みし魔術-
ズゥ「おまえさんにとって幸いか不運かといえば間違いなく不運だろう」
「術者の最期の命を分けられた者は次の癒闇蛇の術者となる定めを負わねばならない」
「つまり今や癒闇蛇は私からお前に移ったのだ」
冷や汗リンク、「ドクン」「ドクン」「ドクン」
ズゥ「今さらだが……できることならこんな術はチャン家の者に託したかった」
「力を持てば使わずにいることはできん……」「癒闇蛇に憑かれた歴代の者共すべてロクな死に方をせんかったという……」

マ「もちろんわかっていますよ キミは本当によく仕えてくれている」
自分のクロスをはずしてリンクの首に付けるルベリエ
マ「アレン・ウォーカーはノアの手をはなれひとり箱舟で立ち去りました」

「彼は今独り……」

この聖戦で綻んだ”裂け目”ですよ 我々が利用するのです この劣勢を覆し! 勝利する為に!!
だが中央庁の中にも私以外にこの裂け目を利用しようとしている者がいます
あれは私のものだ だからウォーカーを追い詰め教団から去らせた

「14番目」の協力者に成り済まし密かに奴の信頼を得て監視するのです
何があっても離れることはなりません」

Night 213 - The search for A・W ・ To hide someone
~ Page 2
"Three months ago -----"
Apo guy: "So you showed up, eh?"
Link was trying to grab firmly onto the Apo guy's arm in order to separate it, but failed as the Apo guy's hand goes through his chest. The Apo guy attempts to perform a finishing blow, on Link, by strangling him.
~ Page 3
Apo guy: "This action is...."
"Speaking of which, I wonder... 'if the memory is erased, that makes oneself a murderer even if there are traces left behind?'"
SFX of Link grabbing onto the Apo's arm: GUgu
SFX of Link coughing blood out: Gopu
~ Page 4
"Well then, in this kind of situation, 'it's indeed the worst kind of idea, Inspector', thus, I believe it's Allen or the Noah---everyone killed the Inspector."
We see a brief shot of Johnny.
Apo guy: "If only you..."
"However, that man is suspicious......!"
"Malcolm C. Rouvelier's doubtful eyes surrounds everything!!"
~ Page 5
Link: "You're humble in being poor towards the Secretary...., 'Cardinal.'"
Apo guy: "As a matter of fact, the worst."
Apo guy changes back into his Cardinal form.
~ Page 6
From a radio: "Inspector Link!!"
"Please respond, Inspector Link!!"
The Cardinal is speaking to himself? Communicating with someone?
Cardinal (Apo): "Yes..."
"I understand. Please leave it to me."
"My Lord."
"The 'heart' of allies."
"Right... You're always showing your protection....."
Radio: "Inspector Link!!"
Cardinal: "The subordinate, Rouvelier, is really hard to deal with."
SFX
~ Page 7
We see Link lying in a bed and waking up.
~ Page 8
SFX of a bird's chirping sound coming into the room: CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHUNCHUN (or "cheep cheep")
Link: ".........?"
Zhu: "You kept on sleeping for 20 days having a nightmare (brother in rage!"
Link's SFX: "Ha..." He realizes that Zhu is sitting on a high-back chair.
Zhu: "By the way, right now it's....half past 11."
~ Page 9
Zhu: "I wonder what this feeling is.......?"
Link: "Zhu, labor and management....!?"
"Here is...?"
"I...."
Zhu: "This house is where I live sometimes, which serves as a business center..... Nowadays, I use it for the sake of safekeeping books and documents...."
"Your change of clothes are in that nearby dresser. You may wear anything that you like."
Link: "Eh? Ah.... Right! Thank you very much."
~ Page 10
Link is putting a hand to his head with worry.
Worry SFX: MONMONMONMONMONMONMONMON
Link's thoughts: (I'm in the teacher's residence!?)
(.......It's no good! My mind is drawing a blank!!)
And somehow, the teacher appears to look gauntly*.
Link sees a scar on his chest when looking at himself in the mirror, while putting on trousers.
SFX: DOKU (sounds close to a heartbeat)
Link: ".....!? This......"
~ Page 11
Link touches the scar with his finger and the "dark healing snake" appears.
SFX: ZAWA
Link: "!?"
~ Page 12
Link says: "..Ha."
"Haaa..."
Link's thought: (An illusion!?)
"What is it now.....?"
"Haa..."
Link's thought: (Now certainly.....!?)
Zhu from behind: "You were on the verge of death in Allen Walker's cell, as you received the scar of death."
~ Page 13
"Malcolm made a request. I had to divide up my life force to you, in order to use the dark healing snake to save your life."
"It became my final life span...."
Link: "Final...life span...!?"
- The dark healing snake - A forbidden black magic technique that disturbs the principle of a possessed life that it takes when it's person to person. -
Zhu: "I believe fate is unable to fail when speaking of misfortune (/unhappiness) or fortune (/happiness) for yourself."
~ Page 14
"A practitioner, who's able to divide the life of someone's final life span will be carrying the fate of being the practitioner of the next dark healing snake."
"In other words, now, the dark healing snake is going to be transferred from me to you."
Link, with a cold sweat [on his face?] SFX: "Dokun" "Dokun" "Dokun" (Ba-bump Ba-bump Ba-bump)
Zhu: "Now, after all this time...., a technique like this has to be ready, as it's been entrusted among the Chang family members."
"It can't be used without possessing its power......"
"It's to be said that the method doesn't have a satisfying death overall, since your successive generations have been possessed by the dark healing snake......"
~ Page 15
Zhu's thoughts - ??: "This is myself."
Zhu: "Since helping you, for a long time now.... Well, a tinge of sticking suspicions can't be brushed off [so easily]...."
??: "Once again, have you committed an error? Zhu Mei Chang."
??: "I understand Malcolm's plan. I felt a single beam of light is going to arrive in the future of sorrowful humans."
??: The light of victory."
??: "However....."
Zhu: "The rescue plan was....."
Link: "......?"
Zhu: "I.......! 'Teacher Zhu' of the '14th', you successfully...." **
Zhu's words are interrupted by Malcolm entering the room.
Malcolm: "It's bad for your health if you don't rest."
~ Page 16??? Did the Chinese scanlator miss a page?
"I put herbs, collected from the garden, in the tea."
Malcolm carries Zhu like a princess. ***
"Please drink it in small quantity as you rest."
Link salutes as he stands up-right in order for his gaze to meet with Malcolm's [eyes].
Malcolm: "It's important for you to recover. So, you heard about the dark healing snake already?"
Link: "Ah..!!"
Malcolm: "Any problems?"
~ Page 17
Link: "........... .....Ah."
Malcolm: Is there a problem?"
Link: "......There aren't any problems!"
Malcolm: "Very well. Then, before coming, please prepare some clothing."
~ Page 18
We see prepared traveling equipment sitting on top of a desk.
Link's thoughts: (..........)
Malcolm: "......It's been said that on the night the Noah appeared to welcome Walker, he appeared to be suffering while undergoing the awakening process, right?"
Link: "I was counterattacked even though prevention was used..... Before my eyes, Walker was snatched away."
~ Page 19
Malcolm: "And then?"
"What?"
"What else did you see.....?"
Link's thoughts: (And then....?)
".......Nothing. It was only beer." ****
Malcolm: "For now, this is the necessary money and equipment. From this point onward, you must contact me with a password protected letter to this address."
~ Page 20
Link: "Are you saying that I must not go back to Central? With these things.....?"
Malcolm: "'Inspector Howard Link' is expected to be dead. He's already finished off with a funeral service."
"After this, I want you, Link, to be affixed in this important mission as 'Crow's' objective for me."
Link: "I....intend to follow under Crow's objective of the former Secretary, also."
Malcolm: "Of course, I understand. You really serve well."
Rouvelier removes a cross necklace from himself...
~ Page 21
......and puts it around Link's neck.
Malcolm: "Allen Walker has left the Ark alone distancing himself from the Noahs' hands."
"Perhaps, he went in search of a method that will stop the '14th' from waking up."
"He's now alone...."
Link: "It's killing Walker to me.....?"
Malcolm: "Don't worry about Walker."
"He needs help......, regarding the '14th'."
~ Page 22
Malcolm: "I've spoke through a secret exchange agreement with Cross Marian. The '14th' is not an ordinary Noah.... He's a 'crack' in the beginning of this Holy War! We can use this to overturn this unfavorable situation! For the sake of victory!! However, also inside Central, with the exception of myself, there are those who will want to use this crack. He's mine. So, Walker left the Order that's chasing him. My black wings..... You must also protect the '14th' from someone to the very end. You are to pose as a '14th' cooperator, acquire trust and secretly observe this person. Whatever happens, you must not separate."
~ Page 23
Zoom back to present time --->
Rest of Malcolm's speech: (We humans were holding faith in big hands known as the Holy War, and became an existence that clutched the fate of the world in these hands!!)
Kanda: "Is that it!? Or is it that your Chief has become useless in talking?"
~ Page 24
Link: "........ I never thought that he would meet with you again."
"You went back brazenly well."
Kanda: "Ha...."
"I see you're looking extremely healthy."
Link: "I'm surprised to receive such concern from you."
Kanda: "The HECK I was!"
"Why are you playing dead?"
~ Page 25
Link: "....I'm running away!"
"The government inspection, who permits me to observe the runaway subject, has been fired."
"I am a Crow. Can you imagine the final end days and what becomes of a person, who failed?"
"I don't want the end to be like this is nothing. Is it not because of Central's appearance that I have to fake my death?"
"Now, it's the same with Walker........ His body is being chased!"
~ Page 26
Kanda: "I don't believe you."
"You'd sacrifice anything if it's for the sake of 'God'."
"Also the heart...,."
"...the body..,"
"...and the life."
Kanda thrusts Mugen at Link.
Kanda: "Especially you, a sick severe Rouvelier fawner."
~ Page 27
"If your mission is to assassinate Bean Sprout... To kill him here right now..."
"It's me who will kill that guy."
Link and Kanda glare at each other.
~ Page 28
Link: "There are people who want to help him."
"Supposing that.....Allen Walker really overcomes his fate as a host....."
"I want to see it [happen]."
Link touches the cross that was given to him by Rouvelier.
"If a person, from his heart, can also say what kind of future he wants to pick..."
Rouvelier's back appears in a frame.
"This is the origin that can be accomplished."
Tevak is seen crying in a frame.
~ Page 29
Link: "I want to know this."
Johnny is clutching a sleeping Allen's hand.
~ Page 30
Allen's dream? A song comes out in the usual way.
??: "As the boy falls asleep..."
A woman is singing as she is holding a baby.
"The flame inside the breathing ashes."
"One by one"
"Two by two"
Twin babies.
~ Pages 31 and 32
We see the early childhood time of a young boy. It's either Nea or Mana who's in the middle of a wheat field (or valley?) and someone's hand is being held out. Also, in the middle of the field is a big house.
SFX of the area: POTSUN (- silence or alone)
A gust of wind: We're seeing a scene all too familiar with.....
That palm of one's hand is reaching out, but for whom...........?

[Insert exchange of pleasantries between Kanda and Link here]
Link ran away from the order because of the grim fate that awaits Crows who fail missions.
Kanda doesn't believe him and says "You lot would've sacrificed anything, "heart", "body" and "lives" for your god's sake!" then draws mugen and points it at Link.
K: "If your mission is to assassinate Beansprout I'll kill you right now"
K:"I will be the one to kill him"
Link and Kanda glare at each other.
L:"there is a person I want to save"
"if he.... If Allen Walker can really defeat the fate of becoming an host then..."
(between parenthesis is probably a flashback or Link talking and in the background a flashback) ("I want to give it a try"
Link touches a cross he got from Leverrier.
Leverrier's silhouette "If people can choose their future with their (only?) heart.."
Tevak, crying:"What is the reason you say this? I want to know!"
