บท 41: I am not in it.

IRIS, I heard that word from Bella more than once. It was always about some report. But what was IRIS? 

"Tell me, John, when do you think the first reaper existed?" 

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion. 

"Exactly that, when did the first Reaper begin fighting in Hellsgate? You will get it wrong but just take a guess." 

Remembering Bella's comment about Roland Winchester, I smugly replied, feeling like a know-it-all.

"The Roman period. Before the birth of Jesus." 

"Good guess, but no, it was even earlier. Try again," Lilly replied. 

"What? Then the Stone Age?" 

"Incorrect, earlier." 

"What could be even earlier than the stone age? Thats when the dinosaurs existed." 

"Indeed, and I am telling you it's even earlier." 

"You have got to be shitting me, right? How is that even possible? Even if it is, how could you even prove it?"
