1 Flashback, year 1995 ●First Chapter●

Raymond! Help me!!!" yelled a boy. Raymond Lewison watched as one of his classmates was being dragged by his hoodie."Bennett!!!" The boy kept yelling...until a slicing noise was heard. The boy was quiet. Hiroki Takahashi, Raymond's best friend, sat by his side. Like Raymond, Hiroki was shaking. They watched as 6 other classmates had their destiny written like Bennett's."We're going to die. I'll never see my parents ever again." said a girl named Amanda. There were 59 students who were touring as well. Out of those 59, only 12 survived. In Raymond's group, there were 36, and out of those 36, only 10 survived. This had been one of the reasons why Raymond had decided to work as a detective. He wanted to figure out what or who had murdered his classmates.

<Flashback ends>

A 45 year old Raymond is sitting at his desk."Hello old friend." said Hiroki."Ah, hello Hiroki. What are you doing here?" "Ah, well, one of our cases...involves an old town." "What town?" asked Raymond, even though he knew what Hiroki was going to say. "It...it's a town called..Iginniarthal." "That place. Don't tell me that our case is in that town." Hiroki nodded. "What has happened?" "The same thing that happened with us. 30 years ago." This time, Raymond was shocked. "This boy...Aaron Tykeson...he's the only survivor." "Show me his information." Hiroki pulled out a document and gave it to Raymond.



                  Aaron Tykeson

15 years old, only remaining survivor of the Iginniarthal Incident(3 weeks). Claims that the assassin had a dark cloak, a mask covering the face, the back of the cloak had the words '歩く死者を恐れる'. Aaron claims that the assassin said the words,"すべてに死が訪れる," after he killed. Aaron managed to escape by covering himself in a classmate's blood. He claimed that the assassin could tell who was dead by just smelling their blood.

Raymond shivered."歩く死者を恐れる means 'Fear the walking dead.' And すべてに死が訪れる means 'Death will come to all.'" said Hiroki, who was shaking."So...the assassin is Japanese." "I wish I could tell my father about this. But my mother told me that he died. Apparently he thought I was dead and so he died of sadness." "I'm sorry Hiroki." Hiroki nodded." Mr. Lewison, Mr. Takahashi, Chief Brown needs you both in his office." Both Raymond and Hiroki were surprised, but they went."Have you discovered when this case is about?" asked Chief Brown."Yes, the same incident that happened to me and Hiroki has started again. We beg that you allow us to go back to that town and investigate. We also hope you allow us to bring many people to help us." said Hiroki. Chief Brown nodded.

Both Raymond and Hiroki left the office, pleased with each other. They were surprised that many people wanted to come with them, most of them were parents of the victims."Excellent. Tomorrow we will travel to Iginniarthal Town. Thank you for helping us." said Hiroki, waving at everyone.
