~ 6th Subject of The Rosary, 28th Sacrifice, 1911 ~ The streets of Crimdol are busy as usual. The sound of people walking can be heard for miles as the vendors on the street try to grab the attention of the crowd. The moon is bright as always, providing light for the people under it. Beneath the roofs of one of the buildings near the mall is a small alley way that could fit a car. Inside the car were two people named Durvin and Helmar. Both of them are going about their day, patrolling the streets, and the usual roll calls from their built-in radio. This time, it's their break, and someone is on duty today. As Helmar comfortably slept in the car, Durvin, on the other hand, is reading an Anecdote about the victims of the 'Memoriam Gloria.' 'Memoriam Gloria' is one of the biggest ongoing retrievals of missing files, that are rumored to have the secrets of anomalies, otherworldly events, and how to deal with them. 70 years have passed by then, they only have recovered 64 out of [Undetermined Number] pages of the 'Memoriam Gloria' one which is owned by Durvin, the Rusted Revolver [22] Durvin is one of the lead operatives in the missing files of the 'Memoriam Gloria' Durvin is in his late 20s and is wearing a blue bonnet, hiding his curly black short hair. His body is in rough shape after a near-death encounter 3 years ago. He's neither slim nor muscular, but he's tall. Protecting his body is a priest's robe that is modified to look like a police uniform. On the other hand, Helmar is wearing a normal priest's robe, but filled with hand-drawn insignias using homemade chalk. He's using his long gray hair to cover his face while he sleeps. Compared to his looks, his face looks like your average teenager but his age is exponentially higher. "Hey wake up, check this." Durvin shuffled Helmar back and forth until he woke up. "What is it this time, I told you I will-?!" Helmar's gray eyes began to widen in fear at what he saw. "Damn chill out man, it's just an image!" Durvin laughs as he shows a close-up picture of garlic. "..." Helmar immediately slapped Durvin out of embarrassment. "What was that for?!" Durvin completely covered his head due to Helmar constantly slapping him. It took a few minutes for Helmar to stop slapping Durvin, by then Durvin's arms were starting to get sore. "So, what is it that you woke me up?" Helmar looked at Durvin with a subtle chuckle. "It's this." Durvin handed out a newspaper to Helmar while shielding his head. -Tim Hostnir, one of the victims of the 'Memoriam Gloria' and also the previous owner of the Rusted Revolver, died in his own home. - -The scene depicts Hostnir, sitting on the chair in the middle of the room lifeless with his Rusted Revolver in his right hand. - -His face was maimed beyond recognition and his body was filled with scratches and dark-blue spots. - -Based on the autopsy, his cause of death is asphyxiation. It was later revealed that it wasn't by asphyxiation but by suicide. - -We investigated the house of Hostnir a day before the incident due to a noise complaint. Hostnir was in good health at that time. - -He complied with our requests as we carefully searched his home. There are white dusts, presumably salt that were scattered through the floor. - -The chair was neatly placed in front of the table with the Desk in the corner near the bed. As we rummaged through his desk, we found some strange vials that were arranged in a horizontal line, filled with black fluid and some solid objects inside. - -We asked Hostnir if we could take some of the vials. He declined and he said, "It's for my research," he said. So naturally, we let it slide and thanked Hostnir for his cooperation. - -During the investigation after the incident, the vials that were placed on his desk were suddenly gone. There were traces of scratch marks on his desk. - -We soon identified that the scratch marks were from Fenrir, a great wolf in Norse mythology. End of Report.- "Wait, that's it?" Helmar asked Durvin if there
