Chapter 16- The massacre

Date: 10/18/2097 (in this world)

Location: 2.World (Tan'i), in front of the great Arena

The sky had stayed the same for the past 3 days. Black raining clouds floated in the dark sky, not a single bird flew around or chirped a happy song. The gloomy atmosphere was perfect for the huge arena that stretched right in front of the group. Covered with white, literally glowing stripes, it stood out in the darkness. White, the colors of Tan'i's former glory .. And white, like the blood in his dream..

Kaito stopped in front of the immensity of this one building. In the past 3 days, they had spoken a lot with other soldiers and civilians. They had found out a lot: white had actually been the main color of this world, the color Niretsus. He had built this huge stadium as a sign and place of the gathering, an arena in which everyone in Tan'i, really everyone, had a spot. After the big collapse, people had divided into 4 colors, the basic colors yellow, blue, green and red, which were all contained in the color white. Millions of people of each of these colors came to this one place from all directions. Except..

Red was missing. In the sea of bright green, blue, and yellow, that one color was missing. Not a single red .. But the reds were the organizers of the games ..?

Kaito felt worse and worse. Something was very wrong here.

He looked at the people. Poor civilians, the military, people in long robes, probably the rich, eyed each other with the greatest suspicion. The peace treaty had come so quickly and unprepared, no wonder that everyone expected someone to suddenly draw a gun and shoot the other colors. And none of these people wanted this war at all. They were all innocent, except perhaps some rich people and some soldiers. They all just wanted a safe, comfortable home in which to raise their families and enjoy meals together. So many people who all wanted only one thing and overlooked that the others didn't want anything else so dearly either. So many people who were once all united, held together, and survived together. And so many people who now hated each other. And that's because of the few people who wanted to prove their power. Wanted to spread their envy and greed. Because of these few people, millions of others had to suffer.

As he stepped into the great arena, a question arose. No, actually it were a lot more ..

Niretsu was still alive after all. Why had he pretended to be a savior in the first world and now in the second too. And in both he was gone again. Left both worlds in chaos that he saved from them. Why would he waste so much energy? Or was it just a lunatic masquerading as Niretsu? Why did he show him things, disturbing things ...

He had no reason at all. And it still wasn't clear who the killer was. He hadn't done anything since the soldier murder and the food poisoning. Perhaps he was no longer alive? But then it could only have been one of the 26 soldiers.

Or Chariti? But she and Mukanshin were siblings .. Wait, what if Chariti's death was actually the killer's expense?

They had never found out why she had stayed behind. A lizard that caught her in an unfortunate moment? Or was it more ...

Was Niretsu the killer? That would be the easiest solution ..

It could be any of you, but it's not one of you.

That was written on the two pieces of paper the murderer had left behind.

That meant it could only be Niretsu .. right?

Why would he admit it himself.. Was he just playing with them? But if he had actually formed these 4 worlds himself, he could probably allow himself such jokes ..
