During that mission, the rest of the Tokyo Special Division 4 members collect enough pieces of the gun devil, which when put together move towards the location of the devil. They also apprehend Akane, the woman who controls the snake devil and the ghost devil.
Turns out, she was the one who was in touch with the gun devil and was trying to eliminate Makima’s entire squad with the help of local gangsters. But before the squad could get any information out of her, Akane committed suicide with the help of the snake devil. Though, Makima, while explaining the details to her seniors, insisted that it might be due to her failed contract with the gun devil.
