Chapter 3: The Letter

     Both girls looked up to see the smiling face of a janitor wearing a dark blue button shirt and trousers with a dark blue cap, a pair of white socks and black shoes. Nin Yi relaxed a bit while Min Yin moved her shoulder away from his hand and adjusted her seat.
     " May I help you?", asked Min Yin as she gazed up to look at the man.
     " Oh I'm sorry to frighten you girls", replied the janitor," But may I ask, are you Min Yin?".
     " Yes sir I am", she replied with a smile," But how did you...?".
     " I'm a friend of your father", replied the janitor as he smiled again," My name is Min Yoon Lwa. I've been looking for your father for a long time. I just wanted to give him this letter".
     He brought out a letter and gave it to her," That's a letter from a very close friend of his in the East. Can I trust you in the task of giving your father this letter?".
     Min Yin examined the letter at first and then dropped it carefully inside her school bag," Yes sir. You can trust me with it".
     He wore the greatest of smiles she had ever since," Thank you very much dear. I'll be off now since I'm on duty this week. Do have a great day in this wonderful school of ours".
     With that, Yoon Lwa left and went his way while both girls suspiciously watched him until he disappeared out of the cafeteria.
     " You know him?", asked Nin Yi.
     " Nope", replied Min Yin," Never seen him before".

     " Promise me first that you aren't going to throw up on these bodies first", said a Japanese woman wearing a lab coat with a blue dress within.
     " Yes", replied Yong Soo," I won't vomit".
     She looked at Min San who nodded at her in approval. She sighed and opened two white coverings. Both men breathed hard as they observed the dead bodies. A male and female victims were laid on seperate beds, each having a missing stomach. Inside was the empty space within that only showed part of their dry skeletons. Their internal organs were missing as well as their eyes. A Part of their skulls were broken through to reveal no brains within.
     " What kind of a son of a bitch would go through all the stress of removing his victims organs?", wondered Yong Soo.
     " Are you saying that the killer is a he?", asked the woman.
     " I'm just using the 'he' as the pronoun for now. But in reality, this is madness".
     " They ran scans on these bodies and didn't find fingerprints on them", spoke up Min San.
     " That means our killer wore gloves then", said Yong Soo," Just deciding to make our work more harder".
     " The killer didn't fire a bullet nor strangle them. He must have used a sharp weapon to slice them open".
     " Ah. So that means we might be dealing with a master swordsman".
     " It seems so sir, because for such weapon to make a clean cut at the stomach, I'm guessing the weapon might be a sword", said Min San in an awkward tone.
     " Forget it. Even if it's a crazy psyco that's having grudges with these people, we'll bring him down for good".
     " That's it!", exclaimed Min San as if a floating light bulb appeared on his head and lighted up," Why don't we check through their data and see if they had any issue with anybody".
     " That's a good idea Min San. While you're doing that, I'll order all our units to be on the alert tonight. We're going to make sure that no one dies today".
     " Well good luck with that", commented the woman as she pulled back the coverings over the bodies," The name's Lin Shur by the way. Hope you bring the killer to justice soon".
     " Thanks Lin Shur. We'll be off our way now", replied Yong Soo as he and Min San exited the observatory room.

     The night was tick and warm. There's a barn in an unknown environment. A windmill not far away made little noises as the wind blew against it. Inside the barn, there's nothing in it except the lanterns that lighted up the place, which showed a tractor and some tied horses that were already fast asleep. In the middle sat the killer, legs crossed as he sat on the ground to meditate, hands clasped together as though in a mood to pray. The organs which he stole were laid in front of him, perfectly aranged in the order of which they were in their owner's bodies. The man kept on muttering Japanese words until the sands round the organs started forming new bodies with them until there was a man and a woman, both newly born and naked.
     The man smiled, stood up and helped the naked duo up to their feet. He looked at them and said," Greetings my children. Through the help of Mother Earth, I have created you to be of great importance of a war that'll wipe out this human plague. To you, young man, I'll name you Sasu Rami. And to you, beautiful lady, you'll be named Akako Makurama. The both of you will receive your Mazon swords shortly. Tonight, more people must die for our expansion. Are you with me or not?".
     " We are with you and Mother Earth", replied the mindless naked duo," We'll render our undying service to our last breath".
     He smiled at them and said," My name is Oshio Ruka. Join me in my chant as we praise Mother Earth!".
     Then they altogether chanted a loud chorus," Hail Mother Earth! Hail Mother Earth!! Hail Mother Earth!!!".
