Morning (08:00)
Fort takes a peek between his hands, looking at the clock.
"It's 8 already? "
Quickly, he woke from his position and took a bath. he got invited into Head Village House because of his action last night.
After the bath, Fort made his way out of the house.
walking towards the village chief's house, Fort he saw the villagers bow their heads towards him.
....
Arriving in front of the Fort village head's house, he saw Callie coming out of the house. Callie then greets Fort and talks about Fort succeeding in driving away the creature that preyed on the villagers.
"I didn't believe it until one of the residents provided evidence," Callie said straight into Fort's face.
After hearing Callies praises, Fort felt relieved, but he knew he couldn't protect the villagers for eternity. Walking inside, Fort sees Villager's head writing a letter.
When the head villager sees Fort he quickly greets him.
"Come here, son..please sit down". Said him in a joyful tone.
" My name was Wills Morgans. I am the head of this village"
"First of all thing, I want to say thank you representing the village population for your actions last night"
The head village says thanks to Fort for his action; he then tells Fort that this thing has been happening for 2 weeks, and many of the villages were leaving this village. Only a few families still stay here because they don't have family outside the village.
Not only undead but also economic was the reason that made them stay in these death traps.
"How cruel," Fort said Silently
Wills then said that this creature may maybe an Undead.
"Just as I thought"
Wills explains after the incident last night the clue from this monster was it can be hurt.
Putting aside ghosts and Spirits.
after hearing Wills's explanation, Fort then silent for a few seconds. Before asking questions
"Do you have a clue where this monster or undead is from? "
Hearing Fort's questions, Wills is silent for a few minutes before answering.
"Maybe..."
"According to a book I read in the city, most undead would likely come from the graveyard"
"Cause there are only two ways to summon an undead, First was raising the dead from the graveyard using some kind of rituals or even sacrifice. "
"and the second was being able to manipulate death"
hearing that Fort nodded in agreement with his statement.
"Where does the graveyard location?" Fort asked.
Wil thinks for a minute while Fort tries to understand, how undead can come alive.
"Impossible unless this is someone doing a ritual." If this is the case, then why does he do this? If he/she wants to resurrect someone, then he/she only needs the undead.
Then why kill kids from the village?
Why? As a detective, (before getting summoned into this world), Fort knew something was up.
Wills then takes a map from another table and places it in front of Fort.
He then points to one location On the map.
"This is the only public graveyard in the village". Will said while pointing.
While looking at the location Wills pointing. Fort suggests investigating the graveyard to see if any graveyard was broken out.
Wills agrees to Fort's suggestion.
" You can go first, I need to call some help from the city. "
Hearing about "help," Fort got a bit confused. Why not earlier?....
He then asked the questions to Wills. And Wills reacted with a smile and nodded.
"There is a risk of getting killed, sending the letter into the city could take a few hours, while the post was not in good condition for this village"
"Until what you do in the last 2 days, no one has sent letters in or out from this village," Wills explained.
He then continued writing letters he had written earlier. Fort, walking out of his house, sees Callie still standing in front of the head village houses.
"You still here? "
Fort asked with curiosity
surprised to hear Fort's voice, she straightened her head, looking straight into Fort's face. "Well... Well yeah uhh" She then asked with a low tone voice
"Can I follow you in your investigation? "
Surprised by Callie's request, Fort opened his mouth, wanting to answer, but before he could answer, Callie quickly said, " I promised I would help with everything I can. Please "
Looking at Callie's pleading face, fort hesitant for a second before answering.
"uhh.. fine," Fort said
Hearing Fort's answer, Callie's eyes lit up with a smile. As Callie was happy, Fort walking away from her. "Let's go! " Fort said to Callie.
Seeing Fort walking away, she quickly caught up with him.
...
In front graveyard.
"Why are we going here? "Callie asked.
" Well apparently your Head villages and I guessed that this 'Creature' who is attacking your villages was an Undead"
Apparently, yeah, that was our outcome, Wills and I were convinced that this undead was from the graveyard.
Callie and Fort checking every stone in the graveyard was still intact. Not a single one was moved from its original place.
While checking the tombstone in the graveyard, Fort came across one grave that gave him a weird feeling. This grave was different. "the soil was new, like.. this grave had just been made. "
squatted down to check the tombstone he saw the day in the tombstone was 3 weeks ago.
"He died from killing himself, " Callie suddenly said to Fort.
Surprised by Callie He reflects looking at Callie then says "You know, you make me want to shoot you"
"Hehe, sorry~," Callie said playfully.
"What about this grave? " Callie asked
"You see this soil. It's still newly buried, with dirt everywhere. usually, after 2-4 days, the dirt will be gone, all washed up by rainwater. But this one was different" Fort explains
"Someone takes something inside and buries it again," Fort said.
While two of them were focused on the Tombstone, another person joined their investigation.
"Excuse me. What are you doing here? "The voice of a woman was heard behind them.
She wearing a white gothic dress. Turning her gaze from Fort To Callie.
" Madam Mourch," Callie said.
"Ahh Miss Callie, what are you doing in this graveyard, and who's this man," Said Mourch.
"This is Mr Fortis; he was the one who sent away the monsters," Callie explains.
"Oh~ so it's you. I thank you profusely for driving away that creature," Mourch said with a low voice.
"If you have spare time you could come to my house~ I will prepare an amazing dish," Mourch said in a playful tone
Before Fort answers Miss Mourch's invitation, an eerie Voice whispers in Fort's ears. "No" Fort froze for a moment before Callie called him
"Mr Fortis?.. Hello," Callie Said
Then Fort came back to his senses. And answering Madam Mourch's Invitation.
"Sorry we can't, but if we are not under any circumstances, I and Callie may consider coming by," Fort said with a low voice.
"Aww~ too bad, " Madam Mourch said with a disappointed expression.
"Then see you two next time," Said Madam Mourch while walking out from the graveyard.
...
In Way to Wills Morgans's house
"Who's that earlier," Fort asked
"Oh that's, that was Madam Mourch. She was like a savior to us, providing many things for us like lanterns and food," Callie explains.
"And... Does she ever tell anyone why she does that? "Fort asked
Callie thought for a while before answering.
".. No, why do you ask about her like that?" Celia answered and asked.
"It's just that she has no reason to do that." Fort then thought about that voice he heard in the graveyard. Who's that? While walking those wild thoughts kept popping into his mind.
...
In front of Wills Morgans's house
Knocking on his door, Wills opens the door and let them in. After they got inside, they shared what they got.
"How was the investigation" Will asked
"Nothing. Not a single thing happened in the graveyard" Fort said. At first, he was going to tell Will about his suspicion about Madam Mourch, but then he realized what Callie had said earlier. "She was like a savior to us." In this kind of scenario, telling people like Will, only make this harder.
Their trust in Madam Mourch may even make them not consider anything I say.
"That's too bad, but I have good news," Will said.
"What's is it? " Fort and Cellia ask at the same time.
"The letters, it said the Church will send help immediately, in the meantime don't do anything risky, they will arrive in approximately 4-5 hours from now," Will said with a serious face
4-5 hours? They will arrive at night... It's too late. This is already [16:00] Someone will become another prey to that monster.
"Isn't that too late? " Fort said
"They said they need to prepare for this "creature" ". Will said.
knowing he can't do anything about the hours they arrive, he'll just prepare for fighting...
" Will, what you know about Madam Mourch? " Fort asking
"She? you meet her? " Will answer Fort Question with another Question.
"Yes I have," Fort said
"She lives alone, with no husband and a daughter." Will
"She lived in this village more than most people; she lived in a mansion, and it was very rare to make contact with outsiders. " Will explain
"That's it? " Fort asking Will.
"One thing I forgot to tell you, she has a family graveyard even though she doesn't have one family member."
Family graveyard? Of course! Those were things I forgot; how could I forget? Fort was sure his judgment about Miss Mourch was right; she was the Fraud.
After sharing his news and telling Fort about Madam Mourch, Will then tells Fort And Callie to go home.
...
When walking home, Fort got bad feelings. On this night, looking at the clock inside people's homes, he sees the hour. "This is still 16:50." Plenty of time to search for evidence for Madam Mourch Sin.
He then walks inside his house, goes straight to the bathroom, and takes a bath.
He has decided to investigate Madam Mourch's Mansion.....
