Blue Envelopes, for people in the know, meant only ohing: mysterious, paranormal, supernatural, almost certainly unsolvable cases. Almost all of them involved heinous crimes, often brutal and bloody. In the minds of many, the ideal dition would be, that these cases be hao the people who knew about the paranormal. But the history of the city would be the first oo ugh at this very idea, if it could think and ugh.
The people running the city were not stupid, and they did try to recruit many people, from greedy watchers to disgraced clergymen, priests and monks. But what effects they had, was kept secret from most iy.
Why the color Blue? It was quite simple - for o was the 5th color on the rainbow, if one was to t from red. It was the first color that shifted “cold” and thus “Yin” from the perfect bance of green; for two, it was the color of water, one of the best media and duit for spiritual and paranormal energy to pass through.
Not many iy still remembered when the first ever Blue Envelope case was. For most of those who knew about these cases, the first one was a case that was resolved, but irely, and sihing good or bad ever came of it so it became fotten. Such became the norm for the Blue Envelope cases, for there were only a few that met satisfying endings and were resolved peacefully without remaining mysterious.
And due to the fact that they were cssified cases sealed by the city, and not the unity collective of the South Eastern District, most people who had i in looking into and learning about them were ironically barred off purely due to their not being iy w enfort.
Yet, right now, when Gloria and Sue opened up the small old manual handwritten with writing brushes, using old nguage syntax, traditional writing styles and characters, they found they became the ued io a few of the cases.
“Such is the case officially doted and numbered by the city, as Blue Envelope, Ohousand One Hundred and Forty Eighth. This case is ohat raises arm with me but did not get enough attention from those in pces of authority, for it was simply difficult to track down and seek atability of.
“The Nameless Grimoire, the Unspoken Tooth Manual, the first Half of Bck Thoughts, many has. A thin book of little renown but disturbing tent. A book of terrifyingly grand affects and disruptions. Be it the crazed written mumblings of a mad man, or an inspired but misguided work of unhinged ahic-less theorization, I ot even tell.
“Locked deeply inside of a secure vault iy’s archive, nary a fitting pce. The city has promised time and again it will take good care and guard of the book, as one of their historical colles and artifacts. Yet the case proved to the not yet witless once again, their inpetend instincts for passing bme.
“The grimoire ced in a guarded and locked box, and its security should be subject to frequent scrutiny. Yet it was repced with a fake without alerting those who were charged with seg it. A simple pile of bnk paper with only a fake cover was all it took to pass the examinations.
“The city did not have an answer and hard as they tried to iigate there came no clues or leads. It was of great misfortune, or one could presume, that it was at least in part iional and ohe unity collective had requested that they hand over the security tapes from the cameras in the room for the past six months. It was to no avail, for the city had cimed that it was of great security and the request itself should subject to an intense review process before it could be released. I think this would be a waste of time, the simplest reason being it had bee a point of embarrassment for two city govers.
“I have only limited knowledge of what this grimoire entails. For I have only read scattered hard copies and some photocopies of its tent. The symbols were are but not indecipherable. The rituals doted are plicated and brutal to prepare, but not impossible if one is dead set . This bees one of the gravest s for the association. There will be upiings for this. But before anyone could make an unwise decision, here is what I know:
“The grimoire, unlike many suspected, was still made of paper, not human skin. It was not much of a special paper either, rather it was the same kind of paper to make purple talismans with. Its cover was made with pressed and dried peach tree bark. It is said that the covers had three yers, and the internal yer was a sealing yer with two miniaturized arrays, one in the front and one in the back. Aside from curses and dangerous Fengshui Practices on a rge scale, it doted one of the earliest and most refined rituals for influeng the flow of Qiyun and redireg karma, a forbidden art of the highest order. One if used by anyone, would cause nothing short of catastrophes that would stain and pollute the lives ahs of geions to e.
“The Move of Three Spirits, it is so called. A ritual of utter cruelty and disgrace. A ritual of enrig the present and current geion, at the expense of the future and the offsprings. It , and it will doom more than the caster could even realize.”
