She leaned over and read a couple of the passages in the book again. "Yeah, that's what it seems like. Man, this is some creepy stuff. It's no wonder they stopped the investigation if things like that were happening," she said looking through a newspaper.

"Ah, hey, look here. This was the first victim in the incidents. Jeremy Swift, age 23, Junior at Crystal Valley University," she said and pointed to a faded monochrome picture that accompanied the article. She read the accompanying text aloud.

"April 2nd, 1973. Late Sunday evening Reflection Police were called to the boys' dorm at Crystal Valley University. The remains of 23 year-old Jeremy Swift were found in the room where he lived, discovered by his roommate after returning from a visit home. Investigators have said that they believe that foul play may be involved but that they do not have any suspects at the time of printing.

"In an interview, Swift's roommate said that the scene was like something out of a horror movie, and that the room smelled like the inside of a meat locker. 'The carpet was burned, and there was a melted candle over by the mirror on the bathroom door. The body was... well, it was in pieces, all over the room,' said the roommate.

"Police found several books on the occult on Swift's bookshelf, and already several students have come forward with information about Swift prior to his death. Swift had been behaving strangely for several days the previous week, and hadn't been seen since Friday. Classmates of Swift have said that he had been distant and distracted, even paranoid. Police are wondering if bullying may be involved and will continue to investigate."

She handed the article to Minato and hummed quietly in thought to herself.

"I remember reading that the police were up in arms after that because there were six more cases exactly like this, and that one of the victims was one of the officers investigating the case. That's when they put a stop to the investigation. There were two more victims after that, and that's when they decided to demolish the dorm."
