The Meeting Part Two

Aethel leaned forward, as his gaze swept across the faces of the guild representatives. "Our initial findings suggest the culprit behind these murders is not human. We believe it to be a highly intelligent monster."

Anya burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking as her hands slapped the table. "A monster? Really? This is a joke, right?" Her laughter slowly died down as she noticed Aethel's serious expression. She leaned back, her smile fading. "You're serious?"

Aethel nodded. "Our analysis supports this theory. The skill and efficiency of the kills, the state of the bodies, coupled with the complete absence of the killer from any surveillance footage, point to a non-human entity."

Eryx leaned forward, his brow furrowed in thought. "Have you analyzed the footage frame by frame? Maybe there's a glimpse of the monster, even a blurred figure."
