When all the European continents ran out of energy, thousands of foodstuffs were lost, greens, meats, vegetables, in hot regions they ran out of energy and died of heatstroke because they didn't have air conditioning, in cold regions they were without their heaters, dying of cold, not being able to warm up, they were without energy and solar energy connectors, because it was the worst day when it was cold, cloudy and raining with the clouds covering the sky, in a constant rain.
The power outages took only a part of the world without internet connection, without being able to communicate with any people, without satellite signals, without cell phone, without watching television, without GPS connection, without being able to locate themselves, a part of the world from asia, from europe there was no communication, chaos reigned, because everyone is used to energy.
When there was a wave of violence and death, which did not stop there, all the buildings, they found corpses in all their apartments, in complete silence, when everyone died, they just pointed to what they did not come to see anyone leaving the building on Saturday not even on Sunday, a week later, when no one was present who had gone mad, killed themselves in their apartments, stabbed, homicide, followed by suicide.
They thought of a global wave of disease, which spread insanity, with many people going mad, killing and then committing suicide.
Thousands of people died from one hour to another, hospitalized without being able to move, lost consciousness, houses, residences, apartments in these neighboring regions, in a radius of an entire state as the epicenter located in a pandemic wave, thousands of people died daily, immediately, when everyone was within a range of less than 10 days before the end of the year 2022.
Due to restrictions, then, imposed by governments, such as China, parts of Europe, so when they simply began to impose rules, thousands of people died, thousands more were affected by diseases.
There were more than 2 million people who died daily in these places, spreading out, unable to contain it, escaping the protections of vaccines, when they did not find a way to contain it, to cure it, to simply make sure that no vaccine can contain it and that thousands of people die daily without being able to heal.
Lovecraft County.
Present moment.
Your boyfriend would meet you later, it would be a good day to have fun, when he got back from the company, it turns out that not always all his plans would work out as he would predict.
He wasn't going to work that morning, nor was he going to Delphos in the afternoon.
Waking up early to enjoy the sunny day, he left with his car, leaving it in the parking lot.
Tsuki Miki was on her day off, enjoying her sunny days as usual, which were rare in the rainy town of Lovecraft County, it just so happened that walking in the sun in cloudy weather was a rare thing, going to the botanical garden, having an ice cream , leave your car in a parking lot on the side of the forest park, next to a restaurant , the day seemed like the beauty of mother nature, when they came to see the sun of a day between the sunny and the cloudy sky.
That's when he got involved in an affair he thought would never happen.
Walking through the park where he was going to eat, he would have to go through the other side of the woods in the middle of the trees, when he passed them, in the middle of heading to the shopping center, among the forest of the botanical garden, it was a crowded place of visitors during business hours, so when he was passing from a grove towards the center, when he passed a bush, he tripped, when he fell, it was then, when he saw that it wasn't a thick branch.
He stumbled over the body of a beautiful teenager, just over 16 years old, fallen, completely dead and thrown like garbage among the bushes of a forest..., among the flowers and bushes, destroying all the beauty of nature, just which he thought did not attract vultures, was apparently recently dead.
A blonde girl, completely beaten and covered in blood, curled up in a fetal shape, she looks as if she had all the bruises removed, sleeping, but the fact that she had a bloody mass on her chest, with a hole in it, clearly showed that she died of the worst way possible, a yellow and blue striped T-shirt, short black shorts, barefoot.
He looked down, in the middle of it, when he got up, he saw that some passers-by had passed.
- You need help? - A passer-by questioned, it was a tall and thin man, who addressed him.
When they both looked down. – Better call the police. Tsuki said.
- I agree. - The man said.
However the wave of deaths that was sweeping towards the United States of America, more than 40 women between the ages of 14 to 35 years old were found dead, beaten to death, when everyone found them in woods, barefoot.
A new psychopath emerges that they didn't find so soon, even with further examinations by the coroner, he discovered that they were raped, cleaned and with a perforation in the intestine, a syringe access that literally took all the blood from their body.
Lovecraft County.
Present moment.
When the company Delphos was buying, I mean, acquiring in an acquisition of an old company that went bankrupt due to embezzlement of money, its partners and some shareholders led to a great embezzlement of the company.
In the midst of the mass layoffs that took place, leading Delphos companies to increase their shares on the stock exchange, it was negotiated that they would reinstate all employees in the process of absorbing a company that went bankrupt after going through a restructuring.
This old company was robbed by some partners who fled when.
Tsuki was in his office, it was a morning of a fifth week of tasks and business that he had to catch up on, due to an organization.
In which Tsuki was together with his lawyers in a room in the middle of the meeting so that they could start the negotiation, then, starting the procedures for a new business alliance, he should gather information so that he could make the new society.
It was with another company interested in completing an acquisition project and in a business alliance, so a former businessman wanted to buy some shares in that company and become involved in a partnership in the purchase of that company.
About that.
- What is happening? – Tsuki questioned.
They'd been waiting more than twenty minutes for the assistant, so it was a good thing she wasn't the only one with the charts and documents.
Tsuki was waiting for his secretary that according to what they said, she had been responsible for the data, in addition to admitting some values, she should come up with the data, good thing they had a database.
- Call her. - Tsuki said, after waiting more than twenty minutes...
So, it was half an hour, not being able to get answers, not even calls, so, right in the middle of it.
It was then that they had to call in another advisor as they were looking through computer files.
- She is one of the recruits, sir, Delphos. - One of the assistants said.
- Would it be one of the first failures of the rehabilitation project, Mr. Delphos? – One of the shareholders questioned him.
- Well, let's see later. Tsuki said.
So, at that time, there were three meetings in a row regarding this employee who was absent without giving a response, at that time, it combined with data from other businesses.
One of the secretaries oversaw making the calls...
- So, Bright, did you get access or answers? – Tsuki questioned.
After the end of the meeting, he had gone to speak with the advisor and a secretary.
- We didn't get an answer, Mr. Delphos. - The short woman with curly hair said.
- I'll sort it out then. Tsuki said.
He had a previous project, at that time, after a series of meetings, he managed to finish the acquisition and partnership negotiations with other companies.
He went to the cafeteria for lunch, then got on with his other cases later.
What they didn't know was that currently, the streets of the city of Lovecraft County and some streets of Golden Valle, were strangely quiet and silent.
It must or might have been for his recruitment and rehabilitation project, but he was thinking of something strange.
Your other question was...
How could they all get off the streets so soon...?
He had been involved in a project just over six months ago to recruit and reformulate some former criminals who had a project involving social assistance, that challenge where they would reform and relocate some villains, people involved in crime to return to the environment socio your company was involved in training and relocating jobs for these at-risk people.
What Tsuki went to see in the records, was that Berta Menezes, his current secretary, was the fourth generation of a family involved in crime, his father who was a schizophrenic, involved as a henchman for three generations of the mafia, in addition to being a criminal. who was involved in his generation of city villains, so the two of them were currently without feedback and without giving any explanation for not going to work...
At that time, she was what Tsuki realized was one of his first failures to recruit, convert and relocate in the civilian world and the public job market other than criminality.
As the meeting ended, he was wrapped up in wanting to know what he did, the months of rehabilitation going down the drain, so when Tsuki headed to the underground garage, while he was heading to his car, another assistant had given him the address. of these two.
The man no one else knew about had disappeared after six months of rehabilitation.
When he was heading towards the streets, where he got out of his car, he was following the decaying street, when he was approached by other former henchmen, the woman in question, the redhead, was leaving a hostel in the middle of the industrial street.
She saw him when the man getting out of the car accosted her.
- I gave you a job and you do this? Tsuki said.
- I can explain, Mr. Delphos, it's not what you're thinking. - She said.
- And what am I thinking? - She questioned her.
- That I stole again. – She said, even though she wore a black outfit, she looked like a bank robber, with that leather jacket.
- So, before I hand it over to the police, leaving one of the abandoned factories next doors. Tsuki said.
- I have information. - Another escort said, finding them.
- Say. Tsuki said.
- Not here. – The tall dark man said, with a white web tattoo on the side of his shaved head face.
- So, what is happening? – Tsuki questioned, as they climbed the stairs of a network of apartments.
- I have problems with my father. - She said.
- Your father always has problems. Tsuki said.
- Besides that, you didn't see anything strange around you? - The woman said.
- Quiet and silent, with no one on the streets. Tsuki said.
- I hear it's quieter here. – The man who was an informant, called Spider said.
- So, what is happening? – Tsuki questioned.
- As you asked us to investigate, I have to say. - The woman said.
- It turns out that there are no cats, no dogs, no homeless people, no one in the industrial zone, the other villains are suspicious about the problem. Spider said.
