Clive entered the police station in Tokyo; he wondered why he had even bothered to come here. Then he remembered: over the course of a week four teenagers, all 18 years old, had been found dead in several locations around Tokyo all four had been brutally murdered by having their throat slashed and their faces disfigured. Further more autopsies revealed that their heart had been surgically removed thus along with the age and gender of the victims the Japanese and world media had dubbed the murderer as the ‘21st Century Jack the Ripper’ causing many to fear that a repeat of the infamous Jack the Ripper case will occur once more.
Clive initially had no interest in the case but the Angel within him urged him to find out the root of the problem and to solve this case and so he decided to go, that and the fact that he was bored. Ever since he stolen the ‘Silver Bullet’ from Smart Brain he had been stuck as to what to do with it, all researches to weaponize it had proven naught and using it to bolster his own forces was also met with dead ends. Perhaps he’ll give it to the Wild Space Corp. but for now he needed to concentrate here.
Inside the police station he sat down in one of the waiting rooms, waiting for the arrival of his informant. Soon a young man with black hair wearing a brown trenchcoat and knee-length boots approached him, “You must be Mr Edingburg?” he said in Japanese.
“Yes” Clive answered back in Japanese, “So what if I am?”
“We are ready to talk to you” the man replied
“I’m sorry but I’m not in the habit of going with strangers and besides I’m waiting for someone”
“Please come with us” the man said smiling, “You’ll find our rooms to be most… hellish”
Clive looked at the man; ‘hellish’ was the codeword between him and his informant proving that the man was his informant. He stood up and followed the man to one of the interrogation rooms, “Isn’t this a bit too public?” Clive asked in the demon tongue
“Please master don’t say it in that language” his informant said, “People will wonder where you’re from. And don’t worry this is one of my hidden rooms no mortals will ever suspect us”
“Then talk, give me the details of this case” Clive demanded
“Of course master” the informant replied and he brought out a case file and meekly handed to Clive, who grabbed it from him. “As the media have said there are a total of four victims, all female and all 18 years old, cause of death was laceration to the throat which caused them to bleed out to death and their faces and bodies have been horribly mutilated, in fact one of the victims was so mutilated that we didn’t dare ask the parent for a confirmation instead opting to use a fingerprint-recognition software.
“If I remember my history the original Jack the Ripper killed prostitutes” Clive said, “Are these girls in the same business?”
“No master all the girls were well-liked, well-mannered and very intelligent schoolgirls” the informant replied, “So you can imagine that this is different than the original Jack the Ripper case. That and an interesting characteristic that I’ve discovered
Clive looked at the informant and raised one eyebrow, “One characteristic? What is it?”
“The media speculated that the heart was surgically removed but that is not the case. While doing the autopsies I found a pattern, their hearts were not removed but incinerated” explained
“Incinerated? Like being burnt to a crisp?” Clive answered
“Yes, further more I did some DNA testing using my own software and found that all four girls were not human, in fact they were Orphnochs”
“Orphnochs” Clive asked, “Then shouldn’t they disintegrate into ash if they’ve been killed?”
“Yes they were Orphnochs but somehow they reverted into a full human before being killed”
“That’s impossible” Clive exclaimed
“I know but I checked the results several time there is only one conclusion… this is the work of an Agito”
Clive closed the file and went out the room, “Thank you, you have been of great service to me. Contact me if anything else appears”
“Where will you be master?” the informant asked
“Hunting this ‘Agito’ if he has the power to reverse engineer the Orphnochs DNA then I must possess it. At any cost”
