John couldn’t possibly have prepared for what he would see next. Before him flashed vivid, bloodcurdling scenes from the greatest atrocities in the history of the planet: civil and world wars, genocides and famines. The screams, agony, and terrified expressions of millions of people were overwhelming. He had the same feeling of nausea and inability to vomit as he had had experienced when the spirit of the old man had shown him the crater to the back of his head. “Why are you showing me this?” he cried, but Nikki ignored his words and obvious discomfort.

“These one-off events created the largest death tolls in history, but none of them exceeded eight percent of the world’s population at the time.” As she said this, John thought he heard a note of disappointment in her voice.

“More often than not,” she continued, “one person became famous for bringing about these acts of evil.” As she said this, John was inundated with images of the architects of the inhuman practices he had just seen, including the instantly recognizable faces of Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden. “They influenced armies of loyal followers to do their work for them. Those are only the ones that made headlines, but there are many people like them that remain as yet undiscovered, carrying out their work diligently in secret, in preparation for the next great event.” John noted a sharper, more sinister edge to her normally soft voice. “What they all have in common, John, was that they didn’t attain that level of wickedness on their own... they were all…of course… possessed.”

“I don’t understand…Possessed...? Why? …By what...?” John’s voice trailed off. He felt the sensation of a shiver pass over him as he remembered what she had told him during their last meeting: To be truly evil takes more than one evil soul in a body. When she had said those words, he hadn’t thought to consider, perhaps from the shock of the discovery, that his stumbling upon one such combination of evil spirit and evil mortal––the serial killer in the van with the body in pieces––could be just the tip of the iceberg. He was now beginning to appreciate the scale of possessions that were happening in the world and the depravity they caused. It was far larger than he could have ever imagined. But what he found more disturbing was that Nikki was apparently telling him all of this in the context of some sort of a game which she had yet to explain. He turned his head to look at her, half shocked, half uncomprehending.

Before he could say anything, Nikki started to speak again, seeming to sense his increasing unease and dawning realization that something far more insidious was afoot in the new world he had entered. “But those stars of mass murder and evil didn’t get possessed by a malevolent spirit by accident, John. Neither was their rise to power the result of an unfortunate series of events, as the history books would have you believe.
