I looked into the drawer and I saw a void with an orange flaky coating of iron oxide. It was nothing but an empty rusty drawer that was homed for spiders.

ย 

I tried to shift the different switches hoping something would happen, but the result was still the sameโ€ฆ not until I shifted two switches at once.

ย 

Another drawer opened, and there I found an empty paper. But goodness gracious! It was empty again!ย 

ย 

I picked the paper up and I felt the clues making their way to me.

ย 

Sure I can just call someone whoโ€™s an expert in brailes but the content of this paper may or may not be for just anyone. Who knows what this paper might contain? Everybodyโ€™s already untrustworthy as it is. I donโ€™t want any more additions.

ย 

The no-warmth wind blew. Itโ€™s only me, myself, and I in this dark recruiting agency office. I couldnโ€™t help but shiver.

ย 

And there it was againโ€ฆ that strange feeling of being watched. I thought I saw a shadow behind me, but when I tried to see it nobody was there. I placed my attention back on the paper. I couldnโ€™t think of different ways to translate this paper, and I donโ€™t need to waste time just to go out there and have this paper translated for me.ย 

ย 

Just as I was about to lose my sanity, Ranky came like a light and gave me a bit of hope. He is suddenly beside me.

ย 

It was suspicious how Ranky identified the paper that quickly. Yes, the paper is Braille but its bumps were more subtle than usual. If I am to look from his position, the bumps are not visible. I wouldnโ€™t get it at first sight.

ย 

I looked at Ranky sternly. At a glance, he looked normal. But he has a mild scent of a coppery fluidโ€ฆ like blood.

ย 

I guess I was too engrossed with Ranky. I didn't realize he was already holding the paper.

ย 

Ranky tried to translate what was written on the paper. Then, he picked up some words on this paper.ย

ย 

I felt a little disappointed by what I heard, but still, I have hope because we have a lead of the first name of the fourth victim of the sinful Leo Vihollinen.

ย 

We scanned the other drawers hoping to find some clues on what could be Yuriโ€™s last name. But all we saw was nothing but disappointment. When Ranky closed the hard plastic cover of
