The Dayless Night Incident

Lexicon Entry
The popular name for a series of incidents caused by the Morningstar of Dawn Society, which at the time commanded public support and even exercised influence in the political sphere.

Sect founder Jun'ichi Nanase, who went by the name "Lucifer," targeted opponents by kidnapping, confining, torturing, and brainwashing them. He is also believed to have carried out a number of cruel human experiments, though the building where this is purported to have taken place has since collapsed in a disaster.

Lucifer utilized TV stations and internet broadcasts to steal the hearts of viewers with his witty comments and charismatic mannerisms, steadily growing his hordes of believers.

Thirteen years ago, Lucifer attempted to take advantage of the chaos after a major earthquake by plotting to release poison gas, resulting in his capture by the world's premier detective, Vidocq. Vidocq received global recognition for this accomplishment, eventually leading to the establishment of the DA.

Although 13 years have passed since he was apprehended, Lucifer's followers have continued committing crimes in his name, unabated.

The true irony is that by solving this case, Vidocq triggered an exponential increase in domestic crime, thereby fueling the ongoing "detective craze."
