## Pointing Ninja of Xi

Hello everyone my name is Dominic. I have never written a creepypasta before, nor do I intend on writing another one. I am simply posting this TRUE story on here so that other people may be able to see what I have seen...

For those of you who have a Playstation 3, you should know by now that there is a Playstation Home where you can make your own avatar, play games, collect items, etc.

You also probably know of a place called: The XI Museum.

Which (according to the Playstation Wiki) is *a "tribute to the Xi game that was on Playstation Home in 2009. It contains a video and slideshow discussing the previous game. Currently, it has two areas that contain mini-games, along with 11 XI collectible rewards."*

I would first like to point out that I never was part of the original XI game; but I have been to the museum many times and have learned that it was one of the first console-based/virtual world-based alternate reality games (look it up if you have to). However, what I saw recently had nothing to do with the museum, or the old game...as far as I know.

It happened about 10 days ago when I got bored and decided to enter the XI museum for some maze games. Before I continue, I need to explain what this museum looks like: It is a rather big room with two portals that lead you to games, stairs that lead to the "second floor", poor lighting, and NO MUSIC AT ALL. Not to mention, the museum was made to look like it was old and run-down.

As you can imagine, it is a creepy place to be when your alone. (Back to the story) as soon as I entered, I saw that the entire place was empty (which is really common) except for that there was a guy dressed as a: *Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon* sitting in front of a pedestal which allows you to go shopping.

This pedestal is in the very center of the room, so it is hard to miss. I slowly walked up to him and noticed that he was crouching and kept pointing in the direction I came from. In order for some-one to do this, they would have to press about 3 buttons for every point they made. And this guy kept doing it. I walked around the room for about 5 minutes and he never stopped or walked around.

He just kept crouching and pointing! I finally decided to leave the room and play some games which I did for about half an hour. I decided to return to the main room to see if the ninja was still there...and he was...still crouching and pointing in the same direction.

I now knew that something was weird, so I decided to leave my person standing there, watching the ninja to see how long he would keep this up. Eventually, I got bored just watching it and walked out of my room to play some basketball.

We played for about 1 hour or so before I came back to my room, only to find that the ninja was still sitting there pointing. I was starting to get creeped out at this point (probably because it was getting dark out) but I still watched him, waiting for him to stop. I then entered what would be the longest 20 minutes of my life as I just sat next to him, waiting for...something. Half-way through, people did start coming in and out of the museum, but no-one payed much attention to me or the ninja.

I began to wonder if this was just a glitch and maybe only I could see him. However, some people did stop to point at the ninja (trying to mimic him) so this clearly wasn't the case. After my long wait, I had enough, the museum was empty again and I sat in front of the (still pointing) ninja. I began to point back at him (no response), I walked to the direction he was pointing (nothing happened), I even sent him a friend request...with no response at all.

I should also mention now, that his username is dehart67. At last, I thought of something that no-one had tried. I was sure it wouldn't work, but I gave it a go. I sat in front of him and typed: "*What are you pointing at*?" As soon as my message appeared (to my surprise) a thought bubble appeared over his head and the pointing stopped. I finally thought I had stopped this mystery.

However, I was dead wrong. The ninja instantly replied with this and only this: "*5890*." And as soon as he said it, the ninja vanished as if the person controlling him just shut off their entire console. I was just left sitting there...wondering what I had just saw...

When I realized he wasn't coming back; I left the museum and played some other games. I was actually pretty interested in the whole thing. This was something I had never experienced in home. I also began to notice that it seemed as if all the games were taking a really long time to load. This could have been random, but it was odd that it happened right after the ninja left.

The next day, I called my friend: Tyler and told him about what happened. He responded by saying that he had played his PS3 that morning and saw the exact same ninja! He then told me that he hadn't talked to it like I had, so there is no telling if the response would have been the same. He just thought it was a glitch. I should note that my friend kids around a lot, so his story may or may not be true.

So there you have it. As I mentioned before, this story is indeed true and I suppose its completely possible for someone to do this. But I just find it so odd and random. I'm afraid that is all I know as of now and I apologize for not having theories or any pictures to back up my story. If you have your own theories or stories, please tell me. I would love to here them.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 2

In my previous post I mentioned that I wouldn't attempt another creepy pasta again due to the fact that I'm not good at making up stories and only good at memorizing events. I would have never expected that the same event would happen to be again. This story is as true as the last and I hope that there will be none to follow.

Shortly after my previous encounter with the pointing ninja (known as dehart67) A new game popped up on Playstation Home. This game is known as "Xi: Continuum" and is a sequel to the original game detailed in my first post. Here is a link in case you need some info on Xi: Continuum: http://www.xi2.com/ . I visited the game and found it to be very fun, but in the end, I was mostly still thinking about how the ninja could be connected.

However, the ACTUAL game must be purchased and I do not wish to spend the money required to play it. I found it odd that this game appeared after the pointing ninja appeared to me and I thought that maybe the code he gave me was imperative to completing the game. However, after some research I found that the code: 5890 is not used (as far as I know).

A week later I decided to play the small amount of game that doesn't require money to play. You end up entering a warehouse which is incredibly dark and eerie. I spent hours in there trying to find a few objects required to complete the mission. I found nothing and no-one would answer me if I asked them to show me where the items were hidden.

I started to get bored and decided to stand in the corner of the room and watch the people in order to see if they were crowding around an area I hadn't checked. Unfortunately, there were only 4 people present at the time and I didn't see anyone go a place that I hadn't. As I watched, a girl turned towards me and walked in my direction. A text bubble appeared above her head and quickly read:

"*What does 5890 mean?*"

I was shocked by this and asked her where she heard that. She responded with "*A guy told me it.*" I asked her to show me where the guy was and she led me to one of the many boxes located in the warehouse. He was gone now (no surprise) and I turned to the girl again. I asked her if he was dressed as a ninja and waited for a response. I waited for quite a bit of time with no answer.

It wasn't long before words appeared above her head that said "*Back Soon".*This is actually normal and appears above anyone's head if they are not moving for a certain amount of time. I did find it weird that I was getting no answer though. Her character eventually disappeared (this is also what happens if your character doesn't move for a LONG time). Right after that, I ended up finding the hidden objects in areas that I was sure I already checked (I could be wrong).

After that, I began to visit the warehouse every day in hopes that I would see the ninja again. I came up with nothing and eventually decided to return to The Xi Museum again. I visited the museum every day at different hours but once again came up with nothing. It was not until yesterday that I finally spotted him.

I entered the Xi Museum as I did every day and busied myself by walking around. It was about 11:00 at night at the time and I was getting rather tired. I climbed up the staircase and positioned myself at the end of the upper floor so that I could look down. Oddly, as soon as I looked down at the ground below, I saw that the pointing ninja was sitting there pointing in the exact same position and place from before! I find it hard to believe that he could have entered the museum, sat down, and begun pointing without me seeing him sooner.

Yet there he was; pointing. I stared at him in disbelief for a second and finally noticed that something was different. His name was now colored gray and his name wasn't even dehart67! This ninja's name was "XiMuseum"! I examined his eyes only to find that they were shriveled and darkened (which is possible to do...but most people don't).

I was clearly confused. This ninja dressed, sat, and pointed just like the old one... but had a different name (and possibly eye features). I sat down in front of the ninja and watched him point some more. No one was coming into the museum and it was getting eerie. I finally sent a message saying "What is 5890?" Immediately, he replied with "5890" just as the old one had done. The ninja then quickly disappeared as if the person controlling him immediately turned off his Playstation 3.

I sat there for the longest time, waiting for people to show up... but no-one ever did. I then got the odd idea to leave the museum and then quickly come back. I did this in mere minutes and when I returned; I found that there were people on the upper floor chatting and I also saw a guy skateboarding around the room. This has left me with the odd explanation that the ninja and I were somehow unable to see these people even though they were in the same room all along! (this wasn't the case with the first ninja). I know it is possible that they showed up when I left for those couple minutes, but what are the odds of that?

I am left with more questions than before and I find that I catch myself thinking of this as creepy when it could just as easily be one big coincidence. In a way I hope to see him again, but what then?

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 3

Well, he is back and I am sick of giving up looking for him. After my second entry, I became bored with the pointing ninja and decided that I would give up and let someone smarter figure out what is going on in The Xi Museum. I was even more prepared to quit when my friend Tyler (who told me he had saw the ninja back in entry one) reveled to me he lied about the whole thing. I was certain that would be the end of it and that I would move on and play the other games playstation home has to offer.

Looks like I was wrong though, because a week later, Tyler called me and told me that he had saw the ninja named: XiMuseum and said hello to it. The ninja replied with "5890" (like always) and disappeared. At first, I thought this was another attempt at tricking me, but Tyler later told me things about the ninja that I had never mentioned to him before. He mentioned how the ninja had wrinkled eyes, gray lettering for his name, and answered "5890" very quickly. This convinced me that Tyler had seen the real thing and he offered to help me look for it.

To be honest, I turned down the offer until a new game called: Peakvox Ninja appeared on Playstation Home. Here is the link to the game's introduction if you don't believe me:http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/01/09/peakvox-ninja-sneaks-into-playstation-home/ . In a nutshell: the game is about ninjas battling each other to the death in team battles. I thought that if there were one place the pointing ninja would go, it would be to that game. Unfortunately, after a week or so, I had came up with nothing odd. I decided to leave Peakvox and go back to Xi: Continuum while Tyler continued to check Peakvox every weekend.

Once in Xi: Continuum (which has become even emptier), I tried the same strategy as I did back in entry 2. I kept this up for more than two weeks in hopes of spotting the ninja anywhere; there was still no sign of him. I told Tyler to visit both Peakvox Ninja and Xi: Continuum every weekend while I searched for the ninja in The Xi Museum, his favorite place to go I guess?

My first day back was already a strange one. If you remember from both of my previous entries, The Xi Museum is a very empty and forgotten place. But when I arrived, The Museum was packed with people on the front steps! Even stranger was that their avatar names were all spelled in blue. I finally figured out that this was a playstation group (there are many) and that this one is called The Blue Crown Society. I found this out because a couple members kept shouting it out as they danced or talked to fellow group members. I also noticed that they wear a white mask that can be seen in one of their YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TooIF8iMcQ . Since they had been here longer than me, I thought this would be the perfect moment to ask others if they had seen anything. However, none of them would answer me when I tried to speak to them. I also noticed that the text boxes above their heads began to disappear.

This led me to believe that they were now PMing each other so that I wouldn't hear what they were talking about. I also began to think that it might be because they couldn't see me, but only a few minutes later. One of the members walked up to me and said hi. I quickly asked him if he had seen a ninja, pointing in the middle of the room. The guy took a VERY long time to answer and I began to think that he would disappear like the lady from my second entry. But he did finally reply with, "A few minutes ago."

I was getting excited, I opened a text box and just as I began to type, "What was his name?"

The guy said, "Follow me."

He led me through one of the portals in the Xi Museum and took me to the Teamwork Maze (you can look it up). Every time I would try to talk to him, he would run around the maze or ignore me. I decided to finish the maze with him and then try to ask.

Once we had finished the maze, a text box appeared above his head and he said "brb." He quickly ran out of the room and I waited for him for 10-to-15 minutes. To make a long story short, the guy never did come back and when I went into the museum's main room (where all the Blue Crown Society members were) only two random members were left and they both had the words "Back Soon" above their heads (meaning they hadn't moved in a while). I was pretty mad at this point and turned off my PS3. I couldn't understand why they were acting like this. As crazy as it might sound, I think they knew what I was talking about but didn't tell me.

I continued to check The Xi Museum every day, but neither The Blue Crown Society or the pointing ninja were ever there. It was only until this Last Saturday that I finally saw him. It was just like the past two sightings; I entered the museum and there he was, pointing without stopping. I decided to call Tyler and tell him to come to the museum in which he quickly did. The ninja's name was "XiMuseum" again and Tyler began dancing at the fact that we had found him at last.

We PMed each other so the ninja wouldn't hear our conversation. Tyler wanted to know what we should do now that we found him. I quickly came up with the idea of getting a picture of him using my mom's camera. After a few minutes of searching I couldn't find it and finally had to give up. I know there is a camera function in playstation home, but my friend Riley once told me that downloading the camera messed up his PS3. We decided instead to wait long enough for the ninja to do something.

Tyler and I stayed in that museum for an entire hour! Waiting to see if XiMuseum would do anything... he didn't. People were coming in and out of the museum, a couple even stopped to watch us for a while. Tyler got so bored that he started to dance in front of the ninja and run in circles around him. In an act of boredom, I decided to crouch in front of the ninja and point back. And as soon as I did, a text bubble appeared above his head and quickly read "5890." Then, like all the times before, he vanished.

Tyler and I were left shocked. When I had pointed at dehart67, he had just kept pointing. But this time, the ninja answered right away. Remembering dehart67 also reminded me that his avatar name was blue like The Blue Crown Society and that the number 67 is what is missing from 5890! Is the real code supposed to be 567890? This latest appearance has left me with more questions than answers. But now that Tyler is helping me out, I think we will figure out this mystery soon. And hopefully next time I have a camera ready.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 4

I have to admit, going to the Xi Museum just about every day and wandering around in loneliness is pretty boring. I will also concede that there have been times when I thought of giving up on this little mystery again.

But now I'm pumped to tell you that I now have proof that what I'm saying is true. Before I get into that, I need to start from where I left off last time.

I did even more studies on 5890 in relation to Xi: Continuum or just anything involving Playstation in general. Little things popped up but I really didn't find anything worth mentioning.

I then had the "brilliant" idea to start a YouTube channel where I could share my stories and possibly be found by others who have experienced this. My plan was to make short videos explaining what I had seen and allowing people to leave responses on what they thought. But this never came to fruition.

I made an account named Sam Douglas,  which is still on YouTube despite probably being a challenge to find.

The description of my profile openly stated: "*I am on the hunt for the pointing ninja of Xi and the secrets of Playstation home."* Unfortunately, more problems started coming my way when I still couldn't find my mother's camera. The page stayed this way for what I would estimate to be 3 weeks or so.

Upon finally discovering my mother's camera, I returned to my YouTube page, only to find that I had been hacked. My picture had been changed to a completely black screen and the background of my page had a repeated picture that I couldn't believe; it was the ninja!

I finally removed these two changes and kept the picture of the ninja for myself. It didn't take long before I began to notice things. The angle of the photo was taken from a point of view that I was sure only the ninja himself could have gotten. I also noticed the large group of people in front of him.

One side was red, while the other was strictly blue and everyone was facing him!

An even closer look revealed that some of the people were wearing the same white mask as the Blue Crown Society (as mentioned in my previous entry).

In fact, I am fairly certain that it IS the Blue Crown Society in front of the ninja. This does not explain what the name of  the red side is, why they are wearing the mask to, and who's name is in the text display box (barely able to be seen). In short, now I am filled with even more questions than before. At least I am now fairly certain that The Blue Crown Society does know something that I don't and I will get answers from them.

I began to go into overdrive as far as my research went. I came across a video that stood out to me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-xIDLUQ-U8 . The video involved someone from a different Playstation Home group known as UMTO. It appears that UMTO and The Blue Crown Society don't get along and will occasionally send spies to intercept each other. My new goal is to join UMTO, spy on The Blue Crown Society, and get the answers I am looking for.

Back to my YouTube channel, I have decided to keep it unchanged in hopes that the ninja will send me another picture with more information. Tyler pointed out to me that the photo was taken in a way that nothing was traceable.

What I mean by that is that all the names are blurred out, no comments can be read, the name of the ninja cannot be seen, and the picture itself is not taken from the camera in Playstation Home; rather someone just took a picture of the screen with a real camera. Is the ninja trying to slowly help me realize something? I guess that remains to be seen.

About two weeks have passed since all of this and I have yet to be hacked again, see the ninja, or find UMTO. Tyler is checking other games in hopes that we will find something out. I suppose I should also mention the fact that more of my friends have become interested in this mystery ever since I showed them the photo.

They are willing to help from time-to-time; this brings the total count of my helpers to 4! They will not be on Playstation every day, but with any luck, we will hunt down the ninja and learn what secret is being hidden from us.

Honestly, I can't believe how far things have come. I would have never expected that I would have compiled this much information so quickly. I guess it goes to show what a little determination can do. And despite all the questions I have, I am learning things and it is clear that the mystery is far from over. The ninja knows who I am now; and that's fine by me.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 5

Unfortunately, things have been really quiet lately as far as searching for the Pointing Ninja that resides in the Xi Museum of Playstation Home. In fact, things have slowed down so much that one of the friends who was going to help me uncover this mystery decided to quit out of boredom. Quite honestly, sometimes I feel the same way. I am still being helped by Tyler and another friend of mine who prefers not to be named. I will instead call him Max for the time being.

I definitely can't take all the credit for the evidence we found most recently. After all, my Youtube page has remained unchanged and no other strange messages or pictures have come my way. I have made contact with a few members of UMTO but all my attempts at joining the club have failed in multiple ways that I really don't have the time to write down. I will continue to try to join UMTO, but it will be much harder than I previously thought.

Really, it is all thanks to Max that we made our newest breakthroughs. Max first showed us that he had the same ninja outfit as the other pointing ninjas had (the full name is in my previous entries). He got the costume by winning a game in Aurora called the "*OMG Trap-O-Matic"*. Every day, you have the chance at winning small items or bigger and rarer items (like the costume).

I am honestly surprised that its taken me this long to mention Aurora. Aurora is basically one of the most mysterious and popular places in Playstation Home. There are actual mysteries surrounding the whole place and just a look at the setting gives you the idea of what Aurora is all about. Hearing that the ninja costume could be obtained at Aurora made me realize something else that I hadn't really noticed before. The ninja always sat in the same place and pointed in the opposite direction to where people entered the museum. The avatars come in through a large door with the word Aurora written in big and bright lettering. I began to wonder if all this time, the ninja had actually been pointing at the word Aurora as a clue. I'm not sure how I ever missed this before but I will be sure to look into it.

But that wasn't it for the costume. We later took Max to Xi: Continuum where we noticed something strange about his ninja suit. Under normal circumstances, the ninja suit is bright and golden. However, upon reaching the continuum, the costume turned a white/bluish color. It is hard to describe, but the suit definitely looked different only at this one place... why?

This was only the tip of the ice burg though. I was later researching other mysteries about Playstation home on Youtube and discovered a new video that gave me a whole new reason to continue the hunt. The video is called "*creepy/mysteries in playstation home"* and it basically contains a slide-show of multiple Playstation Home places. Then something caught my eye immediately. A VIDEO of the pointing ninja suddenly appeared on the screen. I immediately recognized the setting as the same one which appeared as a photo in my last entry! The shot looked like it was taken from the ninja's perspective, but no box (that constantly MUST appear to give the "*point"*option) appeared as he continued to point, so someone else had to of filmed it! I was able to pause the clip exactly before it ended and as a text box appeared from one of the people in front of the ninja. As you can see in the video, whatever he says is written in an extremely odd way and I have no idea what it means as of yet. One thing did stand out in his text entry: BCS. I immediately recognized this as standing for Blue Crown Society! So my predictions of them knowing more than they are letting on is indeed true. The name of this ninja was still not shown, but these few seconds of footage have given me enough information as it is. But that was far from all.

I was already awestruck by the time the video was reaching its end, but I never expected to see what was coming up next. A picture suddenly appeared, showing a guy crouching and pointing in a corner. He was sitting in just the right spot so that his avatar was completely silhouetted. But here is the biggest news of all, this guys name was "*XiContinuum"*! Memories came rushing back to me of the day I was approached by the girl while in the dark and eerie warehouse. She had led me to that EXACT SPOT where she claimed to have someone tell her "5890." Somehow, we had been missing this guy all along! But even stranger was that he did not appear to be dressed as a ninja. You can see he has spiky hair and no shining swords like the other ninjas had. The video ends shortly after that and if you don't take my word for it, here it is: 01:03

As you can imagine, this is a lot of information to take in. I will have to meet with Tyler so we can take a closer look at this video and anything related to it. This just makes me wonder how many other videos are out there that I have yet to see. We might not be the only ones investigating this.

I promise, in my next entry I will try to make sense of as much of this as I can. But there are still so many questions I have and I'm going to need more than two pictures and a three second video to figure this out. But I am happy with our recent finds, and now that it is Summer, I hope to discover even more of these hidden mysteries.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 6

Before I begin, I would like to clarify that these stories were moved to a different wiki due to issues in uploading. This entry is as real as the ones that have came before it. I will begin this entry with a quick review of every major thing that has happened recently.

In the beginning, I entered the Xi Museum only to find dehart67 who was dressed as a Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon. He crouched in the center of the room and repeatedly pointed in the direction from which I entered. After doing this for a wide range of time, I asked him what he was pointing at. This resulted in him suddenly saying "5890" and then disappearing. The game Xi: Continuum soon popped up on Playstation Home and I encountered a women who told me that a guy had told her 5890. The guy was gone by the time she showed me where he was, and she soon went offline. Upon later visiting Xi Museum again, I encountered XiMuseum for the first time who dressed the same as the previous ninja as well as pointed and uttered the same phrase: "5890" after I tried to talk to him. After disappearing, I noted that no-one seemed to be entering the Museum and upon leaving and quickly coming back, there were people. This led me to believe that somehow, being with the ninja made everyone else turn invisible. My friend Tyler later encountered XiMuseum and was told "5890" after saying hello to it. I later returned to Xi Museum only to find The Blue Crown Society standing at the stairs. No-one would answer me and suspicious activity (paired with one member telling me he saw the ninja a few minutes ago) gave me the suspicion that The Blue Crown Society knew more than it was giving off. Tyler and I later saw XiMuseum again and when I pointed at him, he replied with "5890." This was the first time a ninja had said the number without me talking first. I also noted that the 67 in dehart67 is all that is missing from 5\_\_890. I later created a youtube account in which my profile was hacked and a repeated picture of the pointing ninja and a group of people in front of him could be seen. The group was seemingly The Blue Crown Society. Upon learning that the Blue Crown Society was enemies with UMTO and that they sent spies back and forth, I came up with the plan to join UMTO and then infiltrate The Blue Crown Society to learn what was going on. My friend Max later directed my attention to Aurora which was written on the door that the ninja pointed at. It is in Aurora that you can receive the Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon outfit. I later found a youtube video showing the ninja pointing at a crowd of people. I recognized this short bit of video as resembling the picture my youtube account had been hacked to. This told me multiple things. The picture had been directly taken from this video, the word BCS (Blue Crown Society) can be read; so they DO know something after all, and while the angle seems to be from the ninja's perspective; no box appears for him to choose to point; which means this all has to have been taped by someone else; not the ninja. After watching even more, the video flashed a picture of a silhouetted man who was pointing and crouching in Xi Continuum... the same spot that the lady had led me before. This new ninja's name was XiContinuum.

Before I begin with my new finds, I would like to explain a few things. First of all, I would like to apologize for any spelling or grammatical mistakes I have made or will make in my entries. I am often to busy to catch them all but I will try my best to keep them out as much as possible. I would also like to state that I will try to do a new entry every month, but sometimes our findings are very slim and there isn't much to say. I would just like to remind you that this is an ongoing investigation and it can slow down or speed up at any given time, I cant just make up the results. One last point I would like to address is the fact that I have not given out my playstation profile name. There are two reasons for this. One reason is that I am never sure who is viewing my entries and the last thing I want is for someone to hack me and slow down the investigation. Another reason is that I am still attempting to join UMTO and am getting closer every week. So I do not wish to give my name and risk being thrown out of UMTO if they knew my true intentions. With that being said, time to explain my latest finds.

You may remember from my last entry, Tyler and I had found that the Ninjutsu Warrior - Golden Dragon outfit (the same one that dehart67 and XiMuseum wear) appears as a different color when at Xi Continuum. However, after making a journey to the Hudson Gate (another place in Playstation Home) we found the exact same thing happens to the suit. This tells me that it is merely a coincidence that it changes color at Xi Continuum, so we have stopped investigating that theory.

One day, while at the Xi Museum, I decided to watch the video which can be seen at the very back of the place. The video details many of the things that went on in the original Xi. Suddenly, something caught my eye. The video briefly flashed an old glimpse of the original Xi, which looked practically identical to the Xi Museum. In case you do not understand, when the first Xi ended, it was transformed into the Xi Museum. The museum features multiple things from the original Xi, just remodeled. This goes the same for the entrance which has been changed in very subtle ways from the original design. Here is the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msc0suB\_MZE .

It is easy to tell that these areas are the exact same place, just changed slightly. What I am trying to point out to you is that in the center of the old Xi floor, there is a large golden platform. Now could it really be a coincidence that the ninja is golden just like the very part of the floor that he currently sits on used to be? This could explain why dehart67 and XiMuseum choose to wear the golden outfit. It is a way of paying tribute to the original Xi perhaps? This theory also works because XiContinuum doesn't wear the golden ninja outfit, he is just completely black... like the rest of the warehouse. XiContinuum doesn't need to dress like the others because he is in a different place, and pays tribute to it's color by dressing and sitting somewhere dark so as to blend in. And isn't blending in what ninjas are all about? Really, this all makes perfect sense as to why they chose that exact costume.

Unfortunately, this is all the news I have for you at the moment. I will continue to watch the video in case anything else catches my eye. It is starting to become evident that this may have something to do with the original Xi. Max and Tyler are now checking the continuum just about every day and I am doing the same with the museum. We have yet to see the either of the ninjas but at the pace we are going at, it is only a matter of time before we strike gold.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 7

Another month has passed and it has to have been my most productive month of searching yet! There is a lot I need to explain in this entry that could possibly change everything that I previously thought about the pointing ninja of Xi.

Everything involving my investigation seemed to be slowing down as each month passed by. I was beginning to wonder if the ninja had simply given up on whatever it was he was trying to do. However, everything changed when I entered the Xi Museum and found a few other avatars standing around and seemingly doing nothing. I went about my regular activities at the museum until one of the avatars approached me and asked what I was doing. I truthfully replied that I was looking for a pointing ninja that resided in the museum. I didn't expect them to care about this, but I was surprised to find that they had also seen the ninja and were looking for him as well! I cannot reveal the names of the people who assisted me with this case due to the fact that they deserve their privacy. This group of people were led by someone who I will call: D8. D8 and I became friends shortly after we realized we both wanted to solve the mystery, we also agreed to work together and message each other if we were to see anything. I did learn some pretty interesting things about their findings in our discussions together. They are as follows:

1. D8 and his friends sighted XiMuseum 2 days in a row, prior to our meeting each other.
2. They too; received the message of 5890 upon talking to him or pointing back at him.
3. D8 and his friends claimed that they SPOKE with dehart67, who entered the museum only a few days before I showed up. They say that dehart told them that the ninja (not sure which one) is bad. And he also claimed to have quite pointing. D8 and his team had no evidence to support this theory and I am not sure if I believe it or not.
4. They also reported to me something EXTREMELY important to the investigation. This could be the biggest clue I have received as of lately. It is a website containing a complex code that I am still trying to figure out. I do not want to give away the link to this website out of fear that someone will hack it and ruin any chance I have at solving this thing. I promise that once I figure out what the code means, I will put up a link to it. Until then, that is all I will say on the matter.

Shortly after learning all this, my new friends also met Max and became friends with him as well. D8 even offered to send in a former Blue Crown Society member into their club to learn more! I thought it was a good idea and decided that he would be better suited to the mission than I was.

However, after a few days, things started to go downhill a bit. The spy was unable to find any remaining Blue Crown Society members and decided to give up on the mission. I will pick up from where he left off and hope that in the following months, more can be done to find the elusive Blue Crown Society. Tyler has been having trouble with his PS3 for a while now, and as such, is not able to search for either of the ninjas. Luckily, my new friends and I did manage to find something interesting in the Team Maze (which was mentioned in an earlier entry). Once in the maze, you come to an area that has pictures of an avatar doing something. You have to mimic the action in order to proceed, Only then did I realize that POINTING was one of the actions that had to be preformed! This could be a coincidence, but I find that awfully hard to believe.

Not long after our searches, D8 and I began to notice that other avatars would hang around the museum for strange amounts of time. We got the impression that they worked for XiMuseum and XiContinuum and were watching us at all times while at the museum. I got used to calling these people "STALKERS". As time went on, more and more of these Stalkers would appear when I was waiting for the ninja. I never attempted to speak to any of them, but I doubt that they would even answer.

Our suspicions were proven correct when D8 received a message that read: *Who will remain?* The message was sent by someone called "Y2hhaXJz". What was even creepier was that it contained a picture of D8 and his friends standing at the museum. I saw multiple new Stalkers as the days went on, but I never found anyone named Y2hhaXJz. Later that week, I went on vacation and when I returned a few days later, I found that D8 had de-friended me and Max reported the same thing happened to him. Sadly, D8 and all his friends have yet to return to the Xi Museum and I am not sure why. All I know is that now I am without a team or Tyler.

I was honestly pretty mad at this point and just as I was about to sign off for the day, I checked my message box and found multiple messages sent to to me by none other than Y2hhaXJz! I have no idea how I missed them before, but I do have pictures to prove that I got them. Each message had a number for the subject and started with 9. I will go ahead and list the messages in order as I got them:

9. This message was VERY short and I'm pretty sure it only said: "*tiaw"*. I do not believe it had a picture attached to it and for whatever reason, I ended up deleting this one. I am not yet sure what tiaw means.

8. This message was the same one that D8 said he received. This could mean that he is also receiving the same messages I am. I find it odd that he put a picture of D8 and his friends in this message. Could it really be coincidence that they all ended up quitting the investigation? This leads me to believe that Y2hhaXJz knew that D8 and his friends wouldn't last long.

7. This message reads: "*Do you have what it takes to proceed?"* The picture that is attached is a shot of the door located behind the pedestal at the museum. The picture has also been flipped upside down for some reason and I wonder if he is trying to tell me that there is a way behind it.

6. I received this message about a week after discovering the previous 3. *It says: "Some messages will be meaningless... others will be vital."* It contains a picture of what I found to be a close-up of a dead light in the museum. I find it weird that their is so much detail on such a simple thing, but in the end, Max and I agreed that this picture probably meant nothing (as the message would suggest).

5. The latest message I have received says: "*There are others..."* The picture is of the door I mentioned in my previous entry (the one with a picture of Aurora). I am not sure what he means by this, but I plan on finding out.

I am assuming that the messages will continue until they reach 1. What happens after that is anybody's' guess. I just wish I still had contact with D8 so we could talk about this.

As I said before, we found an awful lot and hopefully I can continue to make discoveries. Until then, I will continue to look for both the ninjas and join Blue Crown. And even though I no longer have an entire squad of people at my side, I feel closer to the truth than ever.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 8

My lateness in uploading this month's entry is due to the fact that I wanted to receive as many messages from the mysterious Y2hhaXJz as possible before the month was out. And I was not left disappointed! I have received 3 more messages and each one seems to be more interesting than the last. I am still without "message number 1" but when I receive it (probably next month) I will recap all the messages too see if they make more sense if put together.

Message number 4 was sent early in the morning if I remember correctly. It reads: "You are not the first." It then has a tiny picture of an arrow that points back at itself. The picture that is attached shows a silhouetted figure standing behind what I believe to be a bunch of tables stacked on top of one another. The fact that the person is silhouetted makes me believe that it could be XiContinuum. There is not much else I can understand.

Message number 3 came mid-day. It contains the words: "ONE FOR EVERY NEW." The photo attached is hard to see, but a close up of it shows XiContinuum pointing! He seems to be in the same place that was seen in the video I found (his first appearance). I think that the word "one" may refer to every point he makes. Perhaps every point means that something new happened? It is honestly pretty confusing.

Last but not least, message number 2 was sent to me really late last night and contains the following: "SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS." There is then a tiny picture of an arrow pointing at another arrow (which is pointing back at it). The image attached is of a bright white "portal" of some kind. I have never seen it before in Playstation Home, so I am not sure what to think. Even the message leaves me with no response. I am not even sure if it is supposed to make sense. Hopefully when I review all the messages and photos, it will begin to make sense. This is just the beginning of this months entry however! I think it is worth mentioning that on my recent searches for XiMuseum, I have noted more stalkers than before. Maybe I am just now noticing them; but I am pretty sure there were never this many. They often come into the museum and circle it completely; checking every area in the place. Then they will randomly stand still and wait in a random spot for a while. They often vanish shortly afterwards. I am not going to give their names or anything, due to the fact that these could just be regular people who just act alike. However, last week I just couldn't stand having them around anymore, so I approached one (a guy) and simply started off with "Hello." I was planning on questioning him and figuring out if he worked with XiMuseum, but he quickly vanished (as if the person controlling him completely shut off their PS3) I know this because, if he were to relocate, it would show him pull out a phone so he could leave the museum. But this guy just completely disappeared (like the ninja).

And now for the biggest news of the entry. At about 10:00 at night, I got a call from Max, telling me to hurry over to Xi Continuum for something special. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. But when I arrived, crouching and pointing in the same spot as the video and picture was none other than XiContinuum himself! He was completely pitch black and nearly impossible to see. All I could really tell was that he had spiky hair and cuffs of some kind around his wrist. He pointed at the same speed as both dehart67 and XiMuseum and didn't stop for 20 minutes. Max and I PMed each-other about how to respond, and we both agreed to point at the ninja at the same time while crouching. As soon as we lifted our hands to point, XiContinuum suddenly stopped and came up with the reply "5890" before disappearing. Luckily, I took a picture of myself with the ninja so that you would believe me. Max and I stayed in the continuum for a while afterwards and took note that there as nothing special in the direction that he points. It makes me wonder if he pointing at something that we can't see or maybe the pointing means that something new has happened and therefor is not necessarily meaning he wants us to look in that direction. These are all theories obviously; but you never know when your theory might guide you to the next clue!

I would also like to mention that infiltrating BCS is almost a success for me! I decided not to even get involved with UMTO and instead find the Blue Crown Society on my own! It has worked out very well and I didn't have much trouble finding them. This could mean big things for the investigation!

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 9

I have kept my word that I will keep you updated every month on my findings. Although, for a while I thought that message number 1 would never come my way. Luckily, it finally arrived yesterday and I can now explain this month's happenings.

I will start off simply by mentioning that Tyler has gotten his profile to start working again and is continuing the investigation with both Max and I. Oddly enough, my profile didn't work for two days last week. I am just going to consider it a coincidence and faulty internet connection to be the blame.

Now onto the new picture. Message number one is unlike any other. This one actually contains a link to a youtube video! I won't lie, I was smiling ear-to-ear when I saw this. It is good to know that the investigation is going somewhere. In case you can't read the picture, the URL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9XdfseTalQ&feature=youtu.be . I quickly followed the URL and stumbled across an unlisted video on the same account as "creepy/mysteries in playstation home." This video (which is simply titled "gone") shows an image of a crumpled and dirty piece of paper with a drawing of something that I cannot make out. This is hardly the best part, playing in the background is an eerie whistling soundtrack. At first, I thought the whistling was random, but after listening a few times, I recognized it as the song "My Favorite Things." As if this weren't random enough, when the song ends, a computerized voice can be heard saying something in a different language. I do not know any languages other than English and both Tyler and Max have told me that it appears to be Spanish. Sadly, none of us know Spanish, so we are stuck at the moment. This is not all though. The image attached to the message is very interesting! This image appears to be multiple lights arranged (most likely in someone's apartment) to form the letters: "PN". As far as I know, this could stand for two things. One thing could be Playstation Network. Oddly enough, Playstaion Network was recently changed from being called PN to PSN. Could it be a coincidence? Another theory is that it could actually stand for "Pointing Ninja"! I would like to believe that they got that name from the titles of my entries, but these are all theories. I would like to point out, before I continue, that I figured out that message number 9 which simply said "tiaw" is actually just the word "wait" spelled backwards. Also, messages 3 and 2 were both written in capital letters. Could it be that their two messages should be put together? That would make the sentence: "One for every new, similar in many ways". In fact, below is the sentence you would get if you put all of the messages together:

*"Wait, who will remain? Do you have what it takes to proceed? Some messages will be meaningless... others will be vital. There are others... one for every new, similar in many ways."*

With all this in mind, I still can't figure out why the song "*My Favorite Things"* is in it. Or why the title is called gone. Or even what the image is supposed to be. In fact, nothing about this entire video makes any sense, but that is why I am here.

I checked Y2hhaXJz's profile and noted that it is without a profile picture. It only shows the default smiley face. Upon further searching, he has absolutely no trophies of any kind. It is obvious this guy is working with the ninjas, but in what way?

Finally, it has happened at last! Early this month, I successfully infiltrated BCS! I am going to make my approach slow though. I will make some "close friends" within their ranks so that they trust me and later tell me what I want to know. I found it odd that D8's friend had so much trouble finding them, when it didn't take me long at all! In any case, I am just glad that I haven't been wasting my time on this.

That is all the information for this month, but I guarantee I will find someone to solve the Spanish message and figure out where BCS fits into all of this as well. Y2hhaXJz has given me my final clue and it is up to all of us to take the investigation from here without him holding our hands the entire way. More information next time.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 10

My investigation for the pointing ninjas of Xi has been slow this month. That isn't to say we haven't been trying to make contact though. Tyler, Max, and I have continued our searches inside and out of Playstation Home. But I have been able to learn a few things as well as come to some conclusions.

I will go ahead and start with the biggest news, you may remember D8's findings in The Pointing Ninja of Xi 7 as well as my cryptic clue as to the gigantic piece of the puzzle they've uncovered. Here is what I said and also why I kept this secret for so long: "*They also reported to me something EXTREMELY important to the investigation. This could be the biggest clue I have received as of lately. It is a website containing a complex code that I am still trying to figure out. I do not want to give away the link to this website out of fear that someone will hack it and ruin any chance I have at solving this thing. I promise that once I figure out what the code means, I will put up a link to it."*

The website is www.pointing.webs.com . Once going to this link, you will find a plain web-page simply titled: "Xi". Under this is the number 5890 which is then followed by a series of 1's and 0's in a seemingly random order. I thought this to be a complex code when I first saw it, and I was half-right. This code is indeed complex, but it is actually a quite popular coding format. This code is known as binary, which you can look up in order to understand more. Soon after, I found websites which can decode binary with ease. The following is what the website says, once its decoded:

*"i have been watching the ninja for months now. i have figured out the clues and now i have iT. i have what it is. i cannot tEll you more. there is no more to teLL you. but tHere are thIngs to find. the Mystery ends with me. look close. accipite me ut vestris diaetam."*

I am just as confused as you are about all this. It appears that the site was not made by the ninja, but someone else! The final words are still a mystery to me. I believe they might be in a scrambled form and must be re-arranged in order to make sense. Eerily, the person who wrote this also seemed to be investigating the ninja for months now, and apparently ended the mystery somehow (whatever that means).

D8 and his friends stumbled upon this website by looking at XiMuseum's profile on the "about me" section. The website URL can be found there. To be honest, I'm a little jealous that they found it instead of me. But I suppose it is for the better that I know this now rather than never.

The words "look close" sounded familiar to me, but it took a couple weeks before I realized where I had heard it before. Then I remembered the original Xi video that can be seen in Xi Museum. If you follow this link, you can see what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msc0suB\_MZE at 2:17. This strange "coincidence" made me realize how many other similarities there are between this investigation and the original Xi. Here they are:

1. I have chatted with others for help and information.
2. I have had to go to different sites in order to solve puzzles and clues.
3. I have had to watch video clues.

I know these are only three things, but it is these three things that defined the original Xi in the first place! Could it be possible that this is hinting at some third installment to the Xi series? Unlikely, seeing as this was happening before Xi Continuum was even released. But could all of this really come down to coincidence? Sadly, these questions remain unanswered...

Lastly, I would like to talk about Brett Supco's channel on youtube which contained both the "creepy/mysteries in playstation home" and "gone" videos. I have searched his profile and found that both his banner and profile picture are the same. The picture is of a hastily drawn object written with pen. The writing is on very dirty paper. Upon looking closely, you can see that one part of the drawing has a hole torn in it. I have also noted that his profile picture seems to contain the words "Arrows of Heaven" on the zoomed out photo of the strangely drawn object. The only other thing I know is that he joined youtube on May 24, 2013. I have had no results in finding out what Arrows of Heaven means nor if the name Brett Supco has any connection to all of this. After all, it could easily be a fake name.

Although nothing was really FOUND this month, we are definitely on the trail of something great. Figuring out the website code and analyzing Brett's channel could really help us in the long-run or maybe it already has. I hope to have more for you next month.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 11

I normally don't write an entry early in the month. But the end of November has been without a doubt, the most fruitful as far as discoveries go.

Before I begin to explain our findings. I need to say now that it looks as if Tyler will not be able to help out in any more of the investigation. His PS3 has only gotten worse, and he has practically given up all hope that this issue will go away. Things seemed to be going downhill like that for a while. My job has also gotten in the way of my searches, limiting me to only a few hours of searching a day.

Thankfully, I kept searching and upon entering the museum only a few days ago, I met AdmiralThrawn000. Admiral had saw one of my entries recently, and stopped by the museum to see if the ninja were there. Admiral struck gold and found XiMuseum pointing like always. He asked the ninja what he was pointing at and received the message of "5890" no surprise there. But Admiral then did something that I had never thought to try before. He continued to wait for the ninja, before long, the ninja appeared again to him, replying with "5890" upon being spoken to again. Eventually, the ninja left the museum, leaving Admiral to hang around in case anything else weird would happen.

His waiting payed off. He later saw a woman walk to where the ninja sat, and suddenly say, "What are you pointing at?" The problem with this was that the ninja wasn't there at all! Admiral even checked the current users inside the museum, it was only her and him. The woman quickly departed, leaving Admiral to simply wait even longer.

Eventually, I entered the museum and stumbled across Admiral. I thought it was suspicious that he was standing near the shop, but his profile (baring trophies and a profile picture) convinced me that he was not a Stalker. Luckily, Admiral summoned my attention and we soon found that we were looking for the same guy. Admiral immediately informed me that the strange words at the end of the code (on pointing.webs.com) was Latin. This Latin could be translated into: "Take me to your apartment". As if that weren't enough, he also drew my attention to the  seemingly random upper case letters in the code: "i have been watching the ninja for months now. i have figured out the clues and now i have iT. i have what it is. i cannot tEll you more. there is no more to teLL you. but tHere are thIngs to find. the Mystery ends with me. look close. accipite me ut vestris diaetam." Combining all of these letters, reveals the message: "TELL HIM". I will touch more on this discovery towards the end of the entry.

Admiral agreed to help me as I continued to search. It wasn't long before he read all my entries and drew his attention to the words spoken at the end of the "gone" video. Admiral recognized it as Spanish and showed it to a friend of his who could translate it. The translation is roughly: "Chairs. The many chairs. So very empty." I will come back to this code later in the entry as well.

The investigation slowly became even more interesting when Admiral and I began to spread the news about the ninja and his revealed website. I even posted a thread on the Playstation Home Forums, which can be found here: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Home/Join-The-Pointing-Ninja-of-Xi-Investigation/m-p/42309163 . I didn't expect many to take notice. But in the morning, I found six comments, which steadily rose from there! The message was a big success, earning us three helpers (so far). I will mention these helpers' names now so that you know who I am referring to in the future. Rob, Athena, and Neil.

Each of our members has some type of story to share; Athena has told us without much doubt, she had saw XiMuseum in Aurora, the day before Xi: Continuum was released. Upon checking the list of other users in Aurora, she also claims to have saw XiContinuum's name on the list. She didn't bother to talk to XiMuseum, but she did see him standing near the manhole cover, leading to the museum. He was in his wardrobe, thereby making his avatar appear nearly invisible and impossible to see if his costume was being worn. As for XiContinuum, she didn't see him but did note to us that there appeared to be other oddly named, Xi related people around the area. She has no proof to back this up, but it is not hard for me to believe. Could Aurora be a meeting place for the ninjas? We are still trying to figure this out.

Just when I thought our investigation couldn't get any better, Admiral got a message from none other than Y2hhaXJz! This message was given the subject of "9" and contained the word: "tiaw". This is the exact same message I got originally, and his had a picture attached to it, of Admiral talking to some friends in the museum. When I received this message, I thought it was "wait" spelled backwards. But Rob pointed out that it may be an acronym for: "This Is All Wrong". I like Rob's idea better than my own, but there is no way to know for sure. We have no doubt that there will be more messages to follow. Weather they too, are the same, is yet to be seen. Neil was drawn to the gone video, in which he informed me something that I had never noticed before, in the description to the video was the term: base64. Furthermore, he noted that the drawing itself appeared to look like an arrow. More specifically, an Arrow of Heaven. I agree that this is most likely what the drawing was meant to look like. Neil also pointed out some words above where the arrow is pointing. Unfortunately, these words are far to blurred to read.

The very same day, while Admiral was standing vigil in the museum, he noticed a user by the name of "Ajingnitniop". This is actually the word pointing nija spelled backwards. The second "n" in ninja is not present. We believe this to be just an accident. Admiral talked to Ajin (our nick-name for him) and asked if he was the pointing ninja. Ajin replied "no" leaving Admiral to ask who he was. Ajin replied, "Someone who has been looking for a long time." Admiral asked Ajin to join our investigation, but was told "No, I work alone. base64 has been found." The user then disappeared before anymore could be said. Admiral managed to check his profile, finding only a profile picture of an eye. No trophies were listed either. Admiral has since reported that he has saw Ajin a few times after their first meeting. But whenever Ajin catches sight of him, he will quickly leave.

As our searches progressed, the investigation was soon noted by multiple individuals such as a user named Squint. Squint was a skeptic to the case. His main reason for this was because the well known playstation home user: GurdeanHawk, claimed that the ninja was a marketing scheme by Ndreams. We decided to try and verify this my messaging Hawk, who at first said that he had said no such thing. Suddenly, upon further questioning, he changed his story and began to agree with Squint. As the conversation neared it's end, Hawk suddenly offered to give us three hints as to what the ninja's purpose was. However, he never sent the clues and has yet to respond to any further questioning. This attitude has left us baffled as to if he knew anything or what.

Later, we received a message on our thread by a user named "EatYoVeggiesSon". He criticized us for looking for the ninja and on top of giving us vulgar names, said that he knew the ninja, and that he was laughing at us too. This comment was quickly flagged and we thought that was the last we would hear of EatYoVeggiesSon. However, days later, my very first entry on the creepypasta wiki was vandalized and everything was erased and replaced with multiple profanities. Although we have no proof that Eat did it, his words seem to similar for it to be a coincidence.

Upon looking at Brett Supco's google+ page. We found a larger picture of the Arrow of Heaven. Except now if you look closely in the center of the arrow, you will see a face of some kind. Here is a link:https://plus.google.com/photos/114004639951592163766/albums/profile/5881684949418086978?pid=5881684949418086978&oid=114004639951592163766 . We have not been able to tell weather this is an avatar or a real person yet. But it is an awful strange find. Also, the name of this photo (if you save it to your computer) appears as: "Arrows of Heaven Promo Picture".

After some research, I found that base64 is a type of coding format related to binary in some sense. We knew this had to be important to solve something, and eventually, we found out. Admiral was messing with a base64 decoder, and soon thought to enter Y2hhaXJz's name. Amazingly, this translated to "chairs"! We still have no clue what chairs have to do with this, but we will be sure to keep our eye out.

I should also point out something that I haven't noticed until just recently. Xi Museum is often visited by large quantities of newcomers to playstation home. Due to this, locating the Stalkers has become a difficult task. However, we have noted that Stalkers apparently do not have a profile picture or any trophies. This is the only way to know at this point if there is a Stalker nearby.

Thanks to Admiral and friends, I have also been told how the ninja manages to seemingly disappear. I always thought that the person controlling him shut off their entire PS3, but as it turns out, the ninja sits in front of a shop pedestal so that he can enter it and vanish from sight while he is in the shop. XiContinuum cannot do this due to the fact he does not sit in front of a shop. This has lead me to the theory that it is the direction of the pointing that is important, rather than where the user sits. And because it seems that XiMuseum (and presumably XiContinuum) can disappear at will, this makes things a bit more confusing. As of recently though, I have figured out how to check everyone who is in the museum or continuum all at once. This will come in handy to see whether the ninja is there or not.

Now that I have listed our major findings, I will explain our plans for the future of the investigation. We are currently watching playthroughs of the original Xi and Xi: Continuum on youtube. This is to see if we can make sense of some of the mysteries we have been faced with. Nothing has come up yet, but we are far from finishing the playthroughs. Also, we have all agreed that questioning "TheIgnatius" (who can be seen in the video at the Xi Museum) would be a smart move. Ignatius played a major role in the original game, and if anyone would know anything else about the ninja, it would be him. We plan on sending him messages from all of us, asking him if he can tell us something. Lastly, our major plan stems from the two codes we found in the ninjas' website. Which are "Tell him" and "Take me to your apartment". Next time one of us spots the ninja, we will say "Take me to your apartment". We hope to receive a different message other than "5890" upon doing so.

Despite all of our great finds and new found partners, the month ultimately ended in tragedy. Admiral met up with Max one morning to discuss findings, and the two eventually started to discuss the original Xi. Admiral brought up how when the game ended, Jess told the player "The boundaries between the real and virtual world are blurring... open your eyes." Max said he had to go, and later that same day, we received a message from Max, stating that due to "personal problems" he would be leaving playstation home and playstation itself for a quite a while. While the loss of Max is indeed sad for someone who has worked with him for so long, I am just thankful I met new friends who are willing to be patient and creative in heir searches for more answers. Because of this, I have a good feeling about the months to come and the mysteries we will soon unravel.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 12

Since another six entries have passed, it is time for the overall review of major finds and happenings. If you are already up-to-date with the findings of previous entries, just skip to the fifteenth paragraph.

In the beginning, I entered the Xi Museum only to find dehart67 who was dressed as a Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon. He crouched in the center of the room and repeatedly pointed in the direction from which I entered. After doing this for a wide range of time, I asked him what he was pointing at.

This resulted in him suddenly saying "5890" and then disappearing. The game Xi: Continuum soon popped up on Playstation Home and I encountered a women who told me that a guy had told her 5890. The guy was gone by the time she showed me where he was, and she soon went offline.

Upon later visiting Xi Museum again, I encountered XiMuseum for the first time who dressed the same as the previous ninja as well as pointed and uttered the same phrase: "5890" after I tried to talk to him. After disappearing, I noted that no-one seemed to be entering the Museum and upon leaving and quickly coming back, there were people. This led me to believe that somehow, being with the ninja made everyone else turn invisible.

My friend Tyler later encountered XiMuseum and was told "5890" after saying hello to it. I later returned to Xi Museum only to find The Blue Crown Society standing at the stairs. No-one would answer me and suspicious activity (paired with one member telling me he saw the ninja a few minutes ago) gave me the suspicion that The Blue Crown Society knew more than it was giving off.

Tyler and I later saw XiMuseum again and when I pointed at him, he replied with "5890." This was the first time a ninja had said the number without me talking first. I also noted that the 67 in dehart67 is all that is missing from 5\_\_890. I later created a youtube account in which my profile was hacked and a repeated picture of the pointing ninja and a group of people in front of him could be seen.

The group was seemingly The Blue Crown Society! Upon learning that the Blue Crown Society was enemies with UMTO and that they sent spies back and forth, I came up with the plan to join UMTO and then infiltrate The Blue Crown Society to learn what was going on. My friend Max later directed my attention to Aurora which was written on the door that the ninja pointed at.

It is in Aurora that you can receive the Ninjutsu warrior - golden dragon outfit. I later found a youtube video showing the ninja pointing at a crowd of people. I recognized this short bit of video as resembling the picture my youtube account had been hacked to. This told me multiple things.

The picture had been directly taken from this video, the word BCS (Blue Crown Society) can be read; so they DO know something after all, and while the angle seems to be from the ninja's perspective; no box appears for him to choose to point; which means this all has to have been taped by someone else; not the ninja. After watching even more, the video flashed a picture of a silhouetted man who was pointing and crouching in Xi Continuum... the same spot that the lady had led me before.

This new ninja's name was XiContinuum. Further investigation revealed that XiMuseum's costume may, in fact, be gold so as to blend in with the original flooring of Xi (which was also gold). This could explain why XiContinuum (who is dressed all in black) sits in a black corner of the room.

We later discovered a website which can be found in XiMuseum's "about me" section of his profile. This website contained a binary code which ultimately revealed the words: "Tell Him" and "Take me to your apartment." Soon after, my friend and I began to receive messages from someone named Y2hhaXJz.

These messages contained seemingly random photos and messages. We also found XiContinuum and upon pointing at him, received the familiar message of "5890" before he vanished. Upon receiving Y2hhaXJz's final message, I was lead to a hidden video that played a creepy version of "My Favorite Things." After this, a voice speaking in Spanish talked about many empty chairs. Upon exploring the channel, I found a picture of a hastily drawn arrow with the words "Arrows of Heaven" written on it.

I later decided to join BCS instead of UMTO just to get things moving. This was successful as I slowly made friends who I believed I could trust. The investigation took a turn for the better when other users began to help me in my searches and found that the ninja could seemingly turn himself invisible to some users, yet appear to others in the same room! Soon, my new partners began to receive the messages from Y2hhaXJz.

The mystery heightened when a user named Ajingnitniop (which is Poining Nija spelled backwards) appeared to us and gave hints involving the ninja and other things. This was soon followed by the discovery that Y2hhaXJz is base64 for: chairs. We later were told by a popular user named GuardianHawk, that he would give us three clues as to the purpose of the ninja. However, weeks passed without any clues to be seen. We then came to the conclusions that saying "Take me to your apartment" to the ninja would prompt a different response. We also came up with the idea to message TheIgnatius himself in hopes of learning the true purpose of the ninja.

This entry begins much like how the last one ended. Time has been a killer once again when it comes to keeping recruits. As of recently, a majority of my team has given up for various reasons. In no way am I angered by this. For I understand how maddening it can be waiting so long for such little results. Luckily, Admiral is still fully willing to help with the investigation and I have recently begun posting my entries to the Playstation Home forums to gain more attention and help than I would receive on the creepypasta/spinpasta wiki.

I will now move on to BCS which has been a momentous let-down. My friends and I were already coming to conclusions that BCS had nothing to do with the ninja, and I began to agree with them. Soon after, I was "fired" from BCS and the less mentioned about that, the better. Even though this part of the investigation led nowhere, it was still worth a shot, and I'm glad I did it.

Recently, Admiral has received messages 8, 7, and 6 from Y2hhaXJz. They are as follows:

Message Eight stated the familiar phrase: "Who will remain?" these words are accompanied by a photo of Admiral himself. The strange thing about this photo is that it was taken incredibly close up! Admiral and I have concluded that whoever took the picture had to be standing directly in front of him. Admiral states that he recalls seeing no-one take this photo, furthering the evidence that the ninja (or his stalkers) can turn invisible.

Message Seven contains the words: "Do you have what it takes to proceed?" this is also the same message I received in number seven. The picture is also the same. It is of the Xi vault, flipped upside down again.

Message Six says: "Some messages will be meaningless... others will be vital." This once again is the same message I received previously. All except for the photo! This photo shows a picture of the Stonehenge found in XiContinuum. A snapshot of it can be taken in the Continuum intro. Below the picture contains the words: "Welcome to the Continuum". Why this message has a different picture, and what it means, is unknown.

My attention has recently been drawn back to the "gone" video. I have been speculating why the song: "My Favorite Things" is being whistled. My current theory revolves around the fact that "My Favorite Things" is about finding good in bad times. Perhaps the "chairs being empty" and the current desolation of the Museum and Continuum are the bad things which need to be overcome. This is all a theory of coarse, but it does make a bit of sense.

This entry would not be complete without the conversations and clues given to us by Ajin. Ajin randomly calls for Admiral to meet him in different places of Home to give more hints. His first conversation was mentioned in the previous entry, but we now have pictures of them thanks to Admiral grabbing his camera. The only conversation without a picture is the second one, which I will start with and describe to the best of my memory.

Ajin asked for Admiral to meet him at the Continuum, upon finding Ajin, Admiral received a PM telling us to stop looking for the ninja. Admiral asked why and Ajin roughly replied with "Fine, be stubborn. I will see you again." He then vanished. This entire conversation was PMed, we believe, in order to keep XiContinuum from listening in. My friends and I have wondered if, by bringing attention to this mystery, we are accidentally causing the destruction of the ninja's plans. But because of the fact that Ajin didn't elaborate further, we decided to continue to spread the word.

Ajin eventually met with Admiral to discuss what our goal was. Upon telling him it was just to get answers, Ajin began to talk about "Shadows" and how they were watching us. This talk of Shadows greatly reminded me of the "Stalkers" I have noted previously. Admiral and I deduced that Stalkers and Shadows are, in fact, the same thing (with Shadows being the more accurate term most likely). Ajin then said that he has different goals than us, and told Admiral that if a Shadow ever talked to him, he would then offer his assistance. I noted these last words to be written as if Ajin were begging for us to talk to one. Read it for yourself to get your own impression as to why Ajin worded this so carefully.

One thing I have noticed is that in all three conversations, Ajin will only reply three times before leaving. It could be coincidence, but I have my doubts. Admiral has yet to talk to Ajin again. Leading him to believe that we must talk to a Shadow first. Whatever the case, we want to know what Ajin is keeping from us, and we will stop at nothing to find out.

I think it is also worth mentioning that as I was standing vigil in the museum one night, I suddenly noted an avatar walk behind the portals. I only glimpsed his name and by the looks of it, it was none other than Y2hhaXJz! I quickly checked the user listings, but he was gone. I must stress though, I was far away from him upon seeing the name. It is quite possible I misread it. If it was Y2hhaXJz, then the only thing I remember about him is that he was wearing a black tank-top that all male users of Playstation Home receive upon joining.

Here is where things start to get confusing. Recently, Admiral was approached by a user named "sam1online". Admiral noted that he was saying a binary code and asked if it had anything to do with the ninja. Sam confirmed that it did and elaborated a bit on it. However, due to communication issues and baffling clues, I do not feel that I can fully summarize what Sam is hinting at without jumping to radical and most likely incorrect answers.

It would seem that we must relay a code to the ninja himself in order to get answers, but that is really all I am sure of. Hopefully in the near future, Sam will further elaborate on his clues so that we can follow them closely. If you would like to get an overall idea at what Sam is saying, he commented on one of my Playstation Home forum entries here.

I should mention now that our plan to message TheIgnatius for answers was discarded rather quickly. We received no answers, and I can't say I'm surprised. Despite this, I believe that we do not need the help of a popular avatar to solve this mystery. We are fully capable of solving it ourselves.

If you remember, in the previous entry, we messaged GuardianHawk and asked him to give us at least 3 clues regarding the ninja or the investigation itself. Surprisingly, we did eventually receive his three clues in a message, and I think they are definitely worth going over.

The first clue which says: "Don't believe everything you read." Was delightfully vague. I am not sure if he was referring to the ninja's website or perhaps these very entries! We have no more theories about this.

The second clue states: "The way to the path of the ninja is through the web of deceit Jess was tangled within." This clue is one I find very interesting. Hawk makes it sound as if the ninja really is part of an Xi related game and that he has something to do with Jess (a character from the original Xi). What the "path of deceit" is, we have yet to find out, but it should be noted that Jess deceived all the players in the original Xi by fabricating "VeilCorp" as an enemy, when the whole mystery was actually just a training exercise for the continuum.

And finally, clue number three stated: "Everything you thought you knew about Xi, is in fact, a lie!" I don't even know where to begin with explaining a clue like this. But after receiving these clues, I do feel much closer and much more excited for the answers that wait beyond.

Soon after, Admiral began to receive messages from Ajin, stating that we had missed the ninja. All of these messages were sent around 6:00, leading us to believe that that is the ninja's favorite time to show himself. How Ajin could know of the ninja's location so often, is currently being disputed.

Admiral reported to the museum the next day and upon looking into the user listings, saw XiMuseum's name! Admiral waiting for the ninja to reveal himself, but was surprised when the ninja's name left the user listings, simply meaning that he was no longer there! This has led me to believe that not only can the ninja turn invisible to certain people, but he can also know who is in the museum while in the commerce point (something that no average avatar can do).

Ajin returned to the museum the next day around 6:00 and noted the ninja's name in the user listings once more! After waiting ten minutes, XiMuseum finally appeared. Admiral snapped a picture of him and then proceeded to tell him the code: "Take me to your apartment". Sadly, after all of that waiting, Admiral was once again greeted by the same code: "5890". The ninja then left the museum completely, leaving Admiral angered at this surprising change of plans.

This has also left me quite baffled. What other purpose could the term: "Take me to your apartment", be involved in? Hopefully, with the help of Ajin, Hawk, and Sam; we can begin to unravel more of this mystery piece-by-piece.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 13

This investigation never ceases to amaze me. It has been over a year since I started the investigation for the pointing ninja of Xi. Yet new clues and intriguing facts always rise to the surface and leave me wanting more. Last month truly proved to be an incredibly interesting experience and I only hope that continues into the months to follow.

The month basically started out with the return of our good "friend" Ajin, who told Admiral to meet him at a place called Diamond Beach. Ajin proceeded to mention that Admiral has a "role" to "find it". Or as Ajin specifically puts it: "find it again". He then goes on to mention that no other person shall find "it" until the "next cycle". This left Admiral confused, so he messaged Ajin asking him even more questions. However, Ajin replied that he would "be gone soon" and didn't elaborate any further. Now thinking that Ajin would be disappearing soon, we realized we would need to kick the investigation into high gear and really listen to everything Ajin had to say. After some discussion, we noted that the "it"  Ajin was referring to, was eerily similar to the "it" that can be read on the decoded www.pointing.webs.com site. It is in this decoded text that the author states "I have it, I have what it is". Could Ajin be referring to the same thing? We then focused on how he used the words "again" and "next cycle". We quickly came to a bold hypothesis that we are new test subjects, and that there have been others before us, and possibly more after! I began to wonder if perhaps Ajin was a part of a previous cycle, and, in fact; made the website. However, we have no real evidence to support this, save for the fact that Ajin seems to know an awful lot about all this. Shortly after this encounter, we met a user who I will refer to as "Skull". Skull wished to help us in our investigation and quickly revealed that he had spotted the ninja months ago, back in November. According to his account, he found XiMuseum in one of the maze games located at Xi Museum itself. Skull claims he approached the ninja (who was neither pointing nor crouching) and found that he was wearing a black ninjustsu outfit instead of a gold one. This is indeed possible as there are other colors of the ninja outfit, but we have no idea why XiMuseum would change costumes in the first place. Even more surprisingly, Skull claimed that the ninja said "Follow Me" and led him back into the main section of the museum before saying "5890" and then disappearing. While I find this story quite interesting, Skull could provide no proof that what he was saying was valid, so we must not jump to any conclusions.

Admiral later received message 5 from Y2hhaXJz. As usual, it read; "There are others..." this was accompanied by the very same image I received back in message 5 of someone (who we believe to be XiContinuum) standing behind many stacked tables. As for our outlook on it, "others" could be referring to Shadows, ninjas, or anything really. The message is still just to vague for us to understand completely. What happened later that month was something Admiral and I never would have saw coming, while entering the museum one morning, Admiral checked the user listings and found Y2hhaXJz's name! Admiral quickly located him behind the museum portals and found him staring at the statue of Stapler (a character from the original Xi) Y2hhaXJz stood in attention form and continued staring for about half an hour, without moving or switching to "back soon". Admiral used this time to his advantage and snapped photos of his face. In case you can't tell, Y2hhaXJz has modeled his avatar's face to look very (for lack of a better word) ugly, which could be to ward people off from talking to him. He also has grey hair, a grey beard, freckles, and wrinkles covering his face. Remember this, it will be important later. Eventually, Y2hhaXJz vanished and did not return, leaving us to wonder if he was honoring the old Xi or maybe just trying to confuse us. I should note that he was wearing the same attire that I thought I saw him in, in the last entry, so it would appear that he has come to the museum and hid behind the portals before.

Message 4 from Y2hhaXJz soon arrived, and as you can expect, it was the very same that I had received: "You are not the first..." This was accompanied by a picture of a machine that can be found in the continuum.  I could go into detail on this, but we have guessed that the picture is most likely pointless. And on that note, every photo that we have BOTH received are probably the only important ones. Our current theory on this message is that it is referring to the other "cycles" and the people who looked for the ninja before us, hence the fact that we are not the first. Once again, this is merely a theory.

Admiral was later just entering the museum when he came across a user named "GOLDENSHADOWKING". This user was dressed as a noob and stood in front of the commerce point the ninja always appeared at. He did not move, and according to Admiral, he would occasionally pop up his text box as if he were going to say something, but then decided not to. Admiral then noticed that his profile was empty of trophies and his profile picture was that of a bow and arrow. This was an obvious reference to Arrows of Heaven, leaving us to believe he is a Shadow. After waiting long enough, the user vanished without ever moving or saying a word.

That very same day, Admiral approached a user named "goldninja89". Upon asking if he had any relation to XiMuseum, the user admitted to have spoken to him before but that it was classified business. Admiral even tried to recruit him into our investigation, but he did not accept. In fact, a majority of our attempts to recruit people has been met with little to no response. With that being said, the thought that it is indeed possible to speak to the ninja is a very interesting one. Admiral later received a message from Ajin, telling him to meet at the Western Frontier. Upon arriving, Admiral noted that Ajin's appearance was significantly older. Now Ajin possessed wrinkles and grey hair. Ajin then began to mention that the face had been replaced by the key. Further questioning prompted the response that the "face" belonged to "The Suited Man". Ajin then vanished, leaving us to wonder if he was referring to the face on the Arrows of Heaven picture. Even if this were the case though, it would still not provide any reasoning as to what the "key" is. Upon being told of Ajin's elderly appearance, I began to look for any clues as to why this would be happening. I then thought about Ajin's full name and the oddness of the missing letter "n". Ajingnitniop is his full name, now shorten that to "Ajing" now it could be pronounced as "Aging"! This seemingly explains the missing "n" as well as the fact that his name alludes to both the ninja and his strange aging process. The mystery of WHY he is aging is unknown.

Here is where pieces of evidence begin to come together. After more weeks of searching, two users were found at different times but in the same place and doing the same thing. First was a girl named RHKDMS who stood facing the right side of the commerce point in Xi Museum. All attempts at speaking with her yielded no response and it was then noted that her profile picture was an arrow (just like GOLDENSHADOWKING). An up-close shot of her face revealed that she had a plethora of freckles and wrinkles (similar to Y2hhaXJz). She to, eventually vanished after half an hour or so of standing in that one place, doing nothing. This phenomenon was far from over though, as days later, a user named "kingofthesun5" appeared yielding a "typical" Shadow profile and standing/staring at the left side of the commerce point. Just like the others, he had wrinkles and freckles on his face, was dressed like a noob, and kept standing in the same spot. However, we noted a few differences between the other two Shadows and him. kingofthesun5 is the only one of the Shadows to not have an all uppercase name, his trophies were hidden thanks to privacy settings, as opposed to not having any at all, his profile picture was the sun with a single eye on it (just like Ajin's), and lastly; his "about me" stated "WE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH". We were curious as to why this Shadow was so different, and Admiral proposed that perhaps he is related to Ajin in some way, and that Ajin broke away from their partnership yet kept the same profile icon. This is not all though. One thing about kingofthesun5 that we noticed right away was that he looked just like a younger version of Y2hhaXJz! He had the same hair style, shirt, and the beginnings of a beard! Perhaps the reason behind this will never be known, but its certainly interesting.

I later decided to skim over the book "The Arrow of Heaven" by G.K. Chesterton, which can be found here: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/c/chesterton/gk/c52fb/chapter26.html . And found some interesting results relating to the case. Not only is the story itself; a mystery, it also contains one paragraph that touches on three things involving this case. The first is that the main victim was an older man with a white/grizzly beard, he was killed by an arrow, and was sitting in a chair when this happened. Could this really be coincidence, or could it be speaking of Y2hhaXJz? Quit frankly, I am not sure. The only other thing relating to this case was that Stonehenge was briefly mentioned and it cannot be overlooked that it was a picture of Stonehenge that Admiral had received in a message by Y2hhaXJz.

After spreading the news even further, we met a user who I shall refer to as "Haily". He was willing to join us in the investigation and on his very first day of assistance, he alerted Admiral and I to something big. He claimed that there was a portal somewhere in Sodium (an old popular game on home) that perfectly resembled the one found in the message number 2 I had received from Y2hhaXJz. Upon searching, we found this to indeed be true as we located the portal in the Sodium Hub! Our minds began racing as to how Sodium and Xi could be related in any way. I did note a couple similarities. Both the original Xi and the original Sodium came out in 2009, they both had a sequel (Xi: Continuum and Sodium 2), and both have a hub dedicated to them (Xi Museum and Sodium Hub).

I noted to Admiral one day that even when we weren't finding anything new, we still always seemed to have something to discuss, something to review, or somewhere to explore in order to better understand the mystery. And we realized that it is in those slow moments that we really begin to understand more and more and piece together all the little puzzle pieces. We didn't find the ninja, a hidden website, or a mysterious video all month, yet I still feel as if we have succeeded in finding the greatest of things, and as long as we continue to analyze what others' miss, nothing is impossible.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 14

There can be no doubt that surpassing the recent entries is a tough goal. We have discovered so much in what I consider to be a pretty small period of time. And while this entry may not be the longest, it certainly offers whole new theories and possibilities for us in the near future.

Message 3 arrived early in the month, and as expected, it contained the familiar phrase: "ONE FOR EVERY NEW". This was followed by the same image of XiContinuum pointing. As sad as it is to say, I have no new theories as to what this statement means.

It was still early in the month when Admiral noticed a Shadow running around Xi Museum one night. As you may recall from previous Shadow encounters, there have been none that move, much less run. This Shadow's name was "GeneralCamera" who, after running about the museum, stopped to take photos. Oddly enough, Admiral and friends reported that when taking the photos, the usual tag that appears above the average user's head that says "taking pictures" did NOT appear. As if it couldn't get more strange, observing this users profile resulted in the finding that her profile was the same as both Ajin's as well as kingofthesun5's. But that was not the only similarity, she also had hidden trophies and an about me that read "WE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH". If you recall, this was the same message that appeared on kingofthesun5's "about me". This is obviously a hard evidence that the two are related in some way. Whether Ajin is affiliated with them is unknown. That is not even the strangest part though. Once GeneralCamera was done taking photos around the museum, Admiral observed her go to one of the portals nearby. The strange thing about this being that she went to the one portal that does not function in the museum. Putting it simply, there are three portals in the museum, though only two of them work, the third does not lead any-ware and cannot, in fact, be used. This could raise the question though that it IS indeed impossible to pass through the portal and go to a space called Alpha Zone 2.Alpha Zone 2 was one of the many spaces involved in the original Xi. And since Xi Museum was modeled after the Xi hub, the very portal that used to lead to Alpha Zone 2 is certainly the same one that  GeneralCamera was observed entering. This raises the question of why the portal doesn't work anyways. Could it be for looks? Or does that space hold a higher purpose? Admiral and I agreed that it made little to no sense to keep it closed from the public. For more research on Alpha Zone 2, there are multiple sites online that reveal certain features regarding it.

One feature that we noted in the original Xi was a mission that involved dressing up like a janitor to gain entry into a space. This janitor consisted of multiple appearance factors that we usual associate to Shadows: wrinkles, freckles, and noob clothing. Could it be possible that the Shadows are a direct reference to this janitor costume? If so, this could strengthen the theory that those behind this mystery are using the original Xi as their template. Weeks passed with very few sightings of much magnitude, but that all changed when I received a message from Admiral, stating that he has found dehart67 himself standing behind the commerce point at XiMuseum! Before I get into detail on this extraordinary find. I would like to point out that there seem to be four users that stand around this commerce point: GOLDENSHADOWKING, RHKDMS, kingofthesun5, and now, dehart67. Dehart was not dressed in his ninjutsu costume this time though, he now was wearing a black costume called the bushido warrior.  An interesting feature about this costume is that it can change color depending on the color of your hair. Therefor, judging by the all-black look, we can safely assume dehart67 has black hair. That fact aside, dehart67 had appeared while Admiral was standing vigil in the museum. He made his way down the steps and stopped to simply glance at the slideshow located beneath the deck. After this, dehart made his way behind the commerce point and did nothing else but stand. Admiral waited HOURS for dehart to talk or move, but he did neither. After waiting more than 3 hours, Admiral left the museum only to find it empty once more in the morning. Dehart's appearance raises many questions to us. Why was he no-longer pointing? Why was he dressed differently? and has he become a Shadow? I suppose it should be noted now that dehart's profile picture is that of a smiling face. He also has hidden trophies oddly enough. This behavior has left us baffled, and until we can talk to one of these Shadows, I fear it might stay that way. Message 2 finally was sent to Admiral after some long waiting. It contained the same message as last time: "SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS". The photo attached to this message was different this time, instead of the sodium portal, the photo was now of the Continuum's big reveal cut scene that is available to all players. Perhaps this message is trying to stress how alike this mystery is to Xi Continuum or even Sodium for that matter. Perhaps it could also involve the two ninjas, seeing as there are two arrows which point at each other. The message, in that sense, seems ironic. The message states that something is similar and yet there are two arrows which are pointing quite differently.I also need to mention something that was discovered two months ago by a commenter on one of my entries on the playstation forums. This user drew our attention to Brett Supco's google+ profile picture. There, she pointed out something I had never noticed before. In the bottom right corner of the photo, some words can be distinguished. Both the commenter and I agree that it appears to say "Must save". However, Admiral sees it differently and suggests that the letters are two blurry to properly distinguish and that they are most likely half of an overall sentence. Either way, the mystery of what the words mean or say is still up for grabs.,

What would an entry be if our good friend Sam did not make an appearance. Admiral met up with Sam at the museum and had an interesting conversation regarding the vault or "binary door" located behind the commerce point. What I can gather from this conversation is that (according to Sam) a binary code is key to unlocking the vault and revealing the secrets that the ninjas and those affiliated with them are hiding. Sam brings up many other interesting topics, and I would suggest reading them yourself instead of reading my interpretation of them all. About halfway through the month, Admiral worked on a document he named "The Candidate Theory". It is within this document that Admiral sited multiple pieces of evidence in order to come to multiple theories regarding those involved in the case and their purpose. While the document itself is to long to be put in this entry, I will skim over the basic concept. "The Candidate Theory" mainly suggests that this investigation is a training exercise that, when accomplished, will allow the investigators to learn the truth and help in the cause. The theory is really very interesting, and I have taken interest in writing my own documents regarding some theories of my own. Who knows, perhaps if we make enough of these documents, I will consider making a website.

On one of his days standing vigil at the museum, our friend Haily noted that Ajin had entered the museum without him noticing. Upon approaching him, Haily decided to take a photo of Ajin with the Playstation Camera. As soon as he did this, Ajin immediately vanished. Admiral commented that Ajin had much longer hair than their previous meeting, suggesting that his age is definitely growing at a fast rate. It was disputed as to whether or not we show the photo of Ajin in the entries, due to the fact he could be angered by it. But since the purpose of these entries is to inform, I have included the picture in hopes that Ajin will not take offense to it.

The time finally came about a week ago when Admiral received message number 1. We had been expecting a new video or perhaps a different picture at least. Our hopes were high, but unfortunately, we cannot always get what we want. Message number 1 arrived and was EXACTLY the same message I had received as well. It contained the link for "gone" and the photo of PN spelled out with candles. Although disappointing, Admiral and I agree that the "gone" video may still hold a multitude of secrets waiting to be found.

As the month was nearing its close, I was going through some notes and came across RHKDMS name. I had attempted to find meaning behind it before, but to no avail. Despite this though, I decided to try a few more decoding tricks, and as I was ready to give up, I suddenly found out what it all meant. The name is indeed in code and works like so: a=b, b=c, c=d, etc. So, CAT would be DBU. If you haven't figured it out yet, RHKDMS name actually translates to: "SILENT". This makes perfect sense considering the nature of a Shadow. It has also made us wonder if every name involved in this investigation holds a secret. After all, Y2hhaXJz means chairs, Ajingnitniop means pointing ninja and possibly aging, and now RHKDMS means SILENT. If this theory is correct, then it could be possible that decoding the names of everyone involved in this case could reveal the answers we are looking for.

And so another month of questions and theories has come to pass. It is really getting more and more overwhelming to keep up with this case as time goes by. Nearly every day, those who have agreed to help in the investigation have to use logic, reasoning, and their memory in order to keep up with the ongoing events. So it is at this time that I would like to thank those who have worked so hard to help find the truth. Our efforts will soon pay off; and then and only then can we give our brains a rest.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 15

Words cannot describe how excited I am to be a part of this investigation. And by now, I am no stranger to long waits for something to happen. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time we had nothing new to report, I could start paying people to look for clues. Yet, when something is brought to our attention, it sticks. And it is in these moments that I am happy to be a part of the team, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Our sharing of information from one another often becomes quite confusing and it cannot be denied that there is a handful of new theories just about every week. Yet out of all the individuals who have shared information with us, sam1online sticks out as being one of the most confusing of the bunch. His clues and statements not only consist of inconsistencies, but his lack of any evidence has driven the team and I to believe he is nothing more than a persistent troll. I will not erase Sam's parts in previous entries, but in my opinion, they must be looked at VERY critically before you jump to conclusions. But until we have actual evidence as to why we should trust Sam, this is the last time he shall be mentioned.

As Haily was visiting Xi Museum for a patrol, he noticed the shadow GOLDENSHADOWKING standing vigil in front of the commerce point once more. Haily states he saw the shadow at 2:00 am, remember this, for it shall be important later. Upon waiting for GOLDENSHADOWKING to pop up his text bubble (like usual) Haily found that the shadow instead stood silently this time around, not popping up his text box even once! Haily waited for hours, hoping to see the shadow move or at least vanish. Out of fear that GOLDENSHADOWKING would prematurely disappear like Ajin did; Haily refrained from taking a picture of him. And so Haily waited for hours, even with friends nearby to talk to and pass the time with. But in the end, absolutely no-one could outlast GOLDENSHADOWKING and soon everyone left him alone once more to continue standing vigil. Haily is not sure exactly what time he decided to leave the museum due to him being tired) but he guesses it was around 6:00 am! This means that GOLDENSHADOWKING stood vigil for most likely over four hours, without going "back soon"!

This run-in has left us wondering exactly how many abilities these shadows and ninjas posses? So far, it would appear that they can do the following: Turning invisible from certain users as well as the user listings. Yet appear to other users as if normal,  walk into restricted areas, point continuously for hours on end, and stand vigil for hours without being kicked off due to inactivity. I can only assume they are using some time of glitch and/or hack to do these things. One theory we had was that they used dns. However, dns was removed by the admins of playstation home a while ago, making such a theory nearly impossible. Haily also provided me with a theory that I find much to interesting to pass up on talking about. Haily hypothesized that shadows may not speak because they are actually afraid of talking. We have often believed the ninjas listen to conversations, so it stands to reason that the ninjas would know a shadow talked immediately. Perhaps the ninjas or Arrows of Heaven as a whole is quite darker than we originally believed.

One morning as I was watching the "gone" video on Brett Supco's channel, I absent mindedly placed the mouse over the arrow and onto the very spot in which the face appeared on Brett Supco's google+ page. Then, for a split second, something caught my eye. As I replayed the video, I confirmed what I was beginning to expect; there was a hidden annotation in the video! This annotation can be found by going to the "gone" video link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9XdfseTalQ&feature=youtu.be, placing the mouse on the hole in the arrow, and wait for the 23 second mark. This hidden annotation reveals the message: Tell Y2hhaXJz "Don't Cut Our Wings". Immediately, I sent Y the message and excitedly waited for a response. As I waited, Admiral sent Y the message as well.

To

my surprise, the response came even earlier than what I would have expected, for that night, I received amessage. Upon opening the message, I found the subject line to be 0. And the rest of the message consisted of a link: uquiz.com/Z61iYa . And attached to the message was none other than a picture of Y himself; standing behind the portals and waving. Quickly, we followed the link and came across a quiz! The title screen of the quiz bares the words: WAKE UP and also contains pictures of the Arrows of Heaven logo but drawn in binary letters! Upon starting the quiz, we immediately had trouble answering the questions due to there being a 5 second time limit on a majority of them. The questions ranged from asking things about Xi in general, to specific things regarding the mystery! After we finished answering all 20 questions, every single one of us got a screen that read HINT on the top and was followed up by yet another link, the letters RIP, and the words DID YOU SEE IT?At this point, I believe all of us were in information overload. Never before have we came across so much information in such a small amount of time. Yet here we were, following yet another link which led us to youtube and to yet another hidden video by Brett Supco! Here is the link so you may see it too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcVcSys-2yQ&feature=youtu.be . This video, oddly enough, is entitled ".webs.com" and begins with a picture of blue mountains with the word HIDE in it's center. This picture is then followed by that of a sunset picture with another picture of lily pads centering it! As the video comes to a close, a robotic voice utters a phrase that none of us can seem to crack. And with that, the video ends, and we are left even more confused than ever.

I know this must have been a lot to take in. And with such short time until this entry needed to be made, we haven't had much time to analyze everything. Despite this, I will now go over our theories as well as other findings we have made regarding the quiz and the video.

For starters, Y's message having the subject of 0 is an obvious reference to the countdown of messages he had sent us. Meaning there are 10 total. There is also an odd similarity between this subject and NullVoid (the creator of the quiz). This similarity is that null is German for zero. And the term null void can quite frankly mean for something to be zero or no longer of great importance or value.

Then there is the picture of Y himself included in the message. Personally, I believe this is just a nod to his existence and possible importance. I highly doubt the photo has any deep meaning beyond that. Though Haily pointed out to me that Y appears quite angry in the photo and his wave could be taken as him shoving us away or (for lack of a better word) giving us "the hand". This made me wonder if perhaps Y was actually meant to be a villain. The phrase "Don't cut our wings" sounds like a demand to me. As if we have to force Y to stop tying us down and let us spread our "wings" and fly. Speaking of wings, many of us have found that part of the message as referring to angels rather than butterflies, being that angels would have more to do with Arrows of HEAVEN. If Y is not a villain, I'd like to quickly speak of the "web of deceit" mentioned by GURDEANHAWK in his message. I have recently believed that this refers to those who try and fool us into thinking they know something. Perhaps the real enemy is actually just regular people! The fact that regular people could be the real enemies honestly scares me more. Because some people will go to extremes to get what they want, and who knows what lengths people will do to, to try and confuse and/or stop us.

Moving on to the quiz, I should note that many of us are unsure of what WAKE UP could possibly refer to. The only theory we have as to it's meaning is that before the quiz we could have been considered blind or asleep as to what was going on. But now that the quiz has been found, we will hypothetically be "woken up".

The questions could be some of the most important parts pertaining to the case. But being that each question has such a short time limit, it is difficult for us to fully review and explain each question. I will most likely save that for the next entry. One question I did find interesting was the one which said "What code does the Silent One say?" This is followed by different variations of the number 5890. It is through this that we know the question is referring to either XiMuseum or XiContinuum (or possibly both). What I find interesting is just the fact that a different name was used.

Another fill in the blank question caught our eyes as well. It states "Arrows of Heaven Vs. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_". We have reason to believe the correct answer to that question is EYES IN THE SKY. Now we may be jumping to conclusions, but some of us believe that EYES IN THE SKY could be another group of which Ajin, GeneralCamera, and kingofthesun5 could have been a part of (due to their profile pictures being a sun with a single eye). Whether they are still a part of this organization is questionable.

Skipping to the end of the quiz, Nearly everything makes sense except for the letters RIP and DID YOU SEE IT? It is my understanding that the letters RIP usually stand for Rest In Peace. Yet, there is no real reason to believe that that is it's true meaning. For all we know, it could be the creator's first, middle, and last name. As for DID YOU SEE IT? We have hypothesized that IT refers to the same "it" which was mentioned briefly at pointing.webs.com as well as Ajin. Admiral guessed that it may refer to hidden words that can be found in the ".webs.com" video (which I will mention now).

Though I have yet to find any more hidden annotations in any of Brett Supco's revealed videos. Admiral almost immediately found hidden words in the newly discovered video. The first word is "pointing" in which half of the word appears at the top of the blue hills picture, and the other half at the bottom of the blue hills picture! And in the next photo, Admiral found the word "ninja" which has been broken into two pieces and scattered. No other words have been discovered, but it clearly is of some importance. Perhaps these words are what "HIDE" is referring to. But Admiral and I personally believe it may have a much darker meaning. Perhaps it is warning us of an unforeseen threat in which we must hide from. Honestly, it is to soon to say for sure.

I should also mention that it is stated when taking the quiz that NullVoid can see your answers after taking the quiz.

NulVoid's picture is a binary arrow just like all the other arrows found on this quiz. In fact, I noted that all the arrow pictures were actually the same picture every time, just modified to look different. I should also mention now that despite Admiral sending Y the same message I did, he has yet to hear back from him. We have brushed this off simply because Y may only respond to the first person to send him the message, knowing that I would tell the others of it. Lastly, after failing to answer the first question of the quiz in time on one of my tries, I decided to answer as many questions wrong as I could. Surprisingly, this prompted a different response! Upon answering all 20 questions, another screen appeared. This one saying LOSS at the top instead of HINT and below it was the words LOOK CLOSE. Not only that, but a new picture of the arrow of heaven appears to the side. This picture shows a blue arrow of heaven with a shadow of a hand above it. Whether this has real meaning is anyone's guess. Before I end this entry, I'd like to announce that Admiral has created a facebook page dedicated to this investigation. It is still mostly under construction, but once its done, we'll be posting pictures, links, and discoveries. You can visit that page by following this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/302859093198446/ .

Once again, I realize this burst of information is a lot to take in and I did not want to bury all of our readers in theories either. So as of now, I will end this entry simply by stating we shall be observing as much of this information as possible in the weeks to come. The time of sitting back and waiting for something to happen has ended, and now it is our job to act.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 16

It has been well over a month since my latest entry. I will cut to the chase and tell you that my role in the investigation has come to a close. I realize this might seem sudden given the great influx of information we were receiving, but by the end of this entry, I hope for you to understand how and why it has come to this.

To begin with, we had found out a plethora of new and interesting information since my last entry, you can view all of it on our facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/302859093198446/ or if you really want to hear me ramble about such things, you can keep reading, though I shall refrain from posting pictures on the subject since they can all be found on the facebook page.

Picking up from where we had left off, the strange robotic voice heard at the end of the ".webs.com" was seemingly translated by one of our investigators who translated it to be ancient Korean for "Iahnhaih". This translates to "aging" which would seemingly strengthen the theory that aging plays a key role in this investigation. I don't mean to get all sappy, but I have aged with this investigation among others. I proudly announce that I have worked on this case for over a year and 5 months! Perhaps the aging does not only refer to those involved with Arrows of Heaven, but those seeking to uncover its meaning as well.

Another piece of information I consider to be vital to the future of this investigation lies with a user named UnhingedShadow. Only our good friend Hailey had the honer to see this mysterious figure in his multiple appearances. Only one of his "conversations" has had photos taken of it, but it may reveal much more than what we would have expected.

As his name would suggest, this "shadow" is indeed unhinged (in the sense that he is seemingly crazy). Haley noted often that he moves erratically and spoke continuously with phrases we had heard in the past entries. Things such as: "TIAW", "SUITED MAN", and "GONE". Through his crazed ramblings, some of UnhingedShadow's messages come off as incredibly meaningful. This can be noted by his phrase "TO BE BROKEN IS TO BE FREE, I AM FREE". While at other times he will simply state random letters. UnhingedShadow does not seemingly interact with any of us, though at times he does seem to direct questions at us, in which he gives no time for anyone to respond before continuing his crazed rant. One particular statement which stuck out to me was the phrase "CAN YOU SEE ME?" I proposed that this could very well give evidence as to the fact that Shadows and the ninjas can turn invisible, and that this one has found a way around that, though perhaps at a price. UnhingedShadow's profile is blank, with to special profile picture or statement. At one point, he referred to someone named AJ. We have reason to believe that he could in fact, be referring to Ajin. How these two are related is unknown to me. Another statement that we found quite peculiar was "WHO WAS I?" Though I am not 100% sure on the matter, it would seem as if this user has somehow forgotten his past, yet not the things relating to the mystery. I will not even try to explain how this could be remotely possible. Haley has stated that on one occasion, UnhingedShadow seemingly left through the non-working portal, though he did not repeat this action in his following appearance. Just as soon as he had appeared, UnhingedShadow vanished without a trace, leaving us to only speculate if he was only a troll. If, in fact, he was a troll, he was certainly one of the smarter ones I had ever heard of. His knowledge of this investigation and his references to entries of old; quite frankly surpassed my own knowledge of the matter to some extent.

In the final days of the investigation, a conspiracy arose among our users that the organization: Anonymous was involved in the mystery. I will openly admit that I am not incredibly familiarized with Anonymous and it's inner workings, though I'd highly suggest looking it up online. While we had no direct evidence linking these two topics together, it should be worth noting that a man named Matt Dehart claimed he was wanted for working with Anonymous among other things. The article on him can be found on facebook and is worth a read. As for me, I am unsure about whether or not the two are linked.

It was not long until my personal life began to conflict with this investigation, my appearances on playstation home became far more spacious. Balancing a job, a sport, as well as the investigation became overwhelming. And the continuous influx of information became hard to follow. Soon, others found it equally difficult to understand. From here, the investigation slowly began to go downhill. It became harder to meet with members and slowly but surely, it became apparent that the case was on it's last leg. I blame no one for the end of this investigation, though I do wish I had been more present during the final days of it's life. Before I continue, I'd like to give a few shout-outs to some of the people who helped me in this case. D8, Admiral, Tyler, Max, Haley, LivingDeadBrat, Trev, Robbie, Mc, Kiid, and Athena. Thank you all for your interest in the case, and for anyone who I have forgotten to mention, a big thank you to all of you as well. I never would have thought that when I first found that ninja over a year ago, that it would lead me to meeting such great people and leading me down an extraordinary mystery, the likes of which, I'll most likely never see again.

Though I still don't not know everything involving this investigation, I'd like to lay down my own personal theory as to all of the information we have gained up to this point. Please keep in mind that these are only theories, though I'd hope I'm correct in a few of these guesses. I believe that XiMuseum and XiContinuum work together in this mystery and are figure heads for it. Though I do not believe they are in charge of what goes on within Arrows of Heaven. If I had to elect anyone as being leader of AOH, it'd be Y2hhaXJz. I believe that the shadows are the lowest ranking of anyone involved in the mystery, with their main purpose being to watch us and most likely report to the higher officials as to what we are up to. I believe that there were investigators before us, and that some of them could have become Shadows themselves (Eyes in the Sky is an example of this). These Shadows and possibly even the higher officials gain special abilities such as being able to turn invisible and stay online for an extended period without moving. Though this may come at a price being that they cannot speak or remember who they were or what they did. Perhaps this occurs once they have found "it" whatever that is. I believe Ajin was indeed trying to give us clues about AOH, without getting in trouble by them. I also think that UnhingedShadow and dehart67 were not and are not trolls, they are important pieces to the plot and overall ending of the investigation. In the end, I believe their ultimate goal is to allow people to join them and learn the truth, what that truth is, I may never know, but that is okay, for I have come a long way. And 5890, the words the first welcomed me to this case, remain unknown.

I do know a bit more about this investigation that what I am saying, mainly regarding Ajin and kingofthesun. Though Admiral and I have both agreed not to reveal this information out of respect for Ajin and his origins. Maybe someday, when I feel as if it can no longer do harm, I will tell you what we learned, as well as if any pointing ninja activity has continued since my leaving (for I will still visit the museum from time-to-time for nostalgia's sake).

This message goes out to anyone who wishes to continue the investigation from where we left off:

If your reading this, and you've read everything we have learned and you wish to continue these entries in a constructive way, by all means, do so. But I warn you now, this investigation will not be easy, you will encounter many low points and moments when you just want to give up. It will test your sanity and it will effect your life in a multitude of ways. Even here, at the end, I do not feel as if I have even scratched the surface of this investigation. You must be willing to persist and to allow others to join you, for this investigation is nothing without teamwork. If you believe you can do it, I wish you the best of luck from the bottom of my heart.

This final message goes out to the master-mind behind all this:

I know you are reading this, and its hard to believe that after working for so long, I still don't know why you did all this. The plain fact is, I'll never know who you are, and that's okay. Maybe your some incredibly bright individual with a story to tell and a plan for the future, or maybe your just some couch potato, working alone and doing all of this just to confuse people and get a kick out of it. But if there is one thing I do know, its that you have allowed me to meet great people and given me incredibly fun experiences as time went on. Thank you. Now go confuse some more lucky individuals.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 17

Beginning this entry is a difficult task for me, seeing as I had already made the solemn vow to give up on this investigation some time ago. I had believed that after my respectful leaving of this project, the shadows and the Silent Ones (ninjas) would have found new targets. However, it seems as if the mystery of whatever is going on at Xi still catches up with me. I had actually been off of Playstation in general for some time now. I didn't have a lot of time in the day to even think about getting on. On the rare occasions I’d try, my Playstation would only tell me that I had a very poor internet connection, and that I could not log on. However, when I eventually made my return, I was met with surprising new e-mails from my good friend Admiral. He had only recently begun investigating in the mystery of Xi and had been seeing an influx of strange new activity. I could not resist the call to action and we both met up to discuss recent events. The more I learned, the more I wanted to return to the investigation. That of course, is easier said than done. I still am unable to go to Playstation very often, but admiral has agreed to keep me updated via social media. Not only that, but he has also agreed to help me write new entries (starting with this one). I think that’s enough of a back story for now. Time to start speculating.

What better a way of coming back to the investigation that finding XiMuseum once again? Seems like a fitting introduction. There is nothing groundbreaking about this meeting, but it certainly shows that the ninja was active even after all of our investigators had stopped searching. On the off chance that there is somebody reading this entry who still doesn't believe in XiMuseum or the other things involved in this investigation, you can find all new photos on our facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/302859093198446/ . Just look at the album named "The Pointing Ninja of Xi 17 Photos".

Before I begin this next section, I’d like to point out that I personally never believed that UnhingedShadow was involved in this investigation. When he made his first few appearances, I was certain that some troll had read these entries and decided to throw a plethora of meaningless clues at us just because he had nothing better to do. I can now honestly say that I believe UnhingedShadow is much more than a troll. If anything, he is the key in solving this mystery. So in case you have not caught on yet, UnhingedShadow made an appearance at Xi Museum, where he was found by Admiral. In this meeting, Unhinged retained the “get ready” pose as he faced the vault bearing the Xi logo. He also constantly changed his status from happy, to sad, to angry, to confused, etc.

Right now, the important thing is that we begin to break down Unhinged’s words and ramblings in order to make sense of them. Studying each individual word would not only take forever, but would likely lead us nowhere. If Unhinged is as crazy as he’d lead us to believe, it would only make sense that some of his words are without meaning and are simply put there as a distraction perhaps. Admiral’s first pictures of their “conversation” begins with Unhinged mentioning an “OCEAN” and “LOCATION”.

Unhinged began speaking rationally early on in the meeting. One of his quotes which I found to be quite good was the phrase “XI WAS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE” “NOT AVATARS” “NOT PUPPETS”. Though I was never a part of Xi, Admiral and I agreed that this statement was quite true. What I took away from this statement was the fact that early Xi was a place for real people who sought to work together. Now there is no teamwork in Playstation Home. The people who once participated in home have now been replaced by avatars. Avatars which allowed people to become someone they’re not. Granted, Playstation has always allowed you to do this, but I’d make the argument that Xi contained a plethora of real people doing real work and really working together to solve mysteries. Could Unhinged have been in the first Xi? The answer to that question is anyones guess. After this, Unhinged began reciting some old information and clues we had long since found. He spoke of the empty chairs, TIAW, and Y2hhaXJz. Nothing new there, but it shows his knowledge on this investigation. He then said the following statement, “AJ TOLD ME THAT” “TOLD ME THERE WAS HOPE FOR US”. As we have stated in the past, we firmly believe AJ is yet another name for Ajingnitniop (our previous clue giver who has yet to make a reappearance). It can be assumed that the two are friends in some way, or that they at least spoke to one another at some point in time. The question of who there is hope for, is some cause for debate. Unhinged could be talking about us (the investigators) or the other Shadows (for reasons we’ll explain later). One thing that cannot be debated is the fact that for someone at least, there needs to be hope and according to this “AJ” there is still some to be found. Soon after, Unhinged briefly mentioned the mysterious number 5890. Though he does not go into detail, Unhinged laughs at the code, calls it meaningless, and later refers to it as a joke to him. While it could be possible that 5890 is simply a calling card, I find it far more likely that Unhinged simply does not agree with what it stands for. One important piece of his conversation with Admiral came when Unhinged said the following, “I SEE PUPPETS” “I SEE SHADOWS” “”I SEE A SUITED MAN PULLING STRINGS”. Multiple pieces of information can be taken away from this. The main thing that I think we can all agree on is that the Suited Man who has been mentioned multiple times in the past is the leader of Arrows of Heaven, or at least a very high ranking member. Since he is stated separately from puppets and shadows, I can assume that the Suited Man is neither of those things. It can be assumed that puppets are regular users and the shadows are people like RHKDMS and kingofthesun5. In either case, the Suited Man is referred to many times by Unhinged; cementing his importance in our minds. Continuing in his “crazed” rant, Unhinged began to reference a song by The Carpenters, called “Sing”. Unhinged took the time to state an entire verse before moving on to another subject. Admiral and myself have both likened this song to “My Favorite Things” which was heard in the “Gone” video. Both songs deal with doing something to make you happy. Whether this was done on purpose or not, is unknown. Much later, Unhinged says the phrase, “BODY IS NOT FREE” “MOUTH IS”. It can be presumed that Unhinged is speaking about himself here, basically stating that his movements are hindered in some way, but he can speak with relative freedom. Right after this, Unhinged suddenly began to PM Admiral, telling him to be quiet because someone was in the museum. Admiral checked the user listings  and saw no one but them. We can only assume it was another Shadow, The Silent One, or the Suited Man who drove Unhinged to do this. It had already been established that these individuals could turn invisible, but only now was is apparently revealed that they cannot intercept PMs, which is good. This also tells us that they are not constantly present at the museum, they come and go at seemingly random times. Throughout this conversation, Unhinged mentioned a hint he would give at 1:00, though this hint never came, it would seem. Their first conversation ends there. I’d recommend viewing the photos to read it yourself. I had to leave out a lot of interesting things so that this entry wouldn't take half the day to read.

After his conversation with UnhingedShadow, Admiral later found himself in the presence of kingofthesun5. There is not much to report here really, as it would seem that kingofthesun5 does not do anything beyond standing in place and leaving at any point in time he sees fit.

GOLDENSHADOWKING was the next shadow to appear. Similarly, he too stood silent. I’d like to point out once again that some shadows have a profile picture of a bow and arrow, some have an eye, and some just have a seemingly random photo.

Admiral later stumbled upon GeneralCamera; a shadow which roams the museum and occasionally takes photos. Once again, nothing special could be noted about her appearance.

Up until now, attention put towards shadows had not been to a very high degree. However, this all changed once Admiral stumbled upon a new shadow located in Xi Museum; standing to the right of the commerce point, facing the Xi slideshow. This was no random shadow though. This was a discovery which Admiral and myself would have never seen coming. That shadow was "tothemax9" who is better known as just Max in my previous entries. If you recall, Max left our investigation months ago, claiming that personal problems were conflicting with the investigation. At some point, Max deleted me as a friend and I could no longer make direct contact with him. Max is a shadow now. His trophies are hidden and his custom clothing choice has been changed to the default clothing line. Oddly enough, Max’s profile picture remains the same and so does the color of his name. As it should be expected though, he does have wrinkles and freckles, just as the other shadows do. This discovery has left both Admiral and myself in total shock and confusion. We are now left to wonder why Max was turned to a shadow, is he still in control of his account?, was he working with Arrows of Heaven from the beginning?, did he see something he was not supposed too? The answers to these questions, it pains me to say, are far from being answered. Max and I were friends for a long time and I knew him not only in home but in the real world as well. After he moved, home was one of the major places I could still talk to him. Losing Max like this is a true heartbreaking situation for me and something I consider to be that of a great loss. I can only hope no other losses such as this will take place in the future.

dehart67 was the next shadow to be found. Just like all the shadows mentioned previously, he did not speak or show any signs of life during his stay at the museum. Furthermore, it should be said that many of the shadows we have mentioned have stood in the museum for hours on end. How they do this is still a mystery. I do wonder why dehart67 in particular is permitted to wear something other than default clothing. My only guesses are that he is either of a higher rank or it is a clue of some sort.

Not long after, Admiral came into contact with Unhinged once more and this time found him sitting in front of the Xi door with his legs crossed. This conversation is quite similar to the first with only a few real understandable changes. Amongst Unhinged’s repeated sayings included speaking of the “MANY CHAIRS” “WHO WAS I” and getting the quiz wrong. Unhinged alludes to a story but quickly derails from speaking anymore about it, stating that it would be told another day. It is at least good too be working with someone who is not on a time limit or growing old (like Ajin was). Lastly, I’d like to mention one specific line that caught both Admiral’s attention as well as my own. “THERE IS NO FREEDOM ANYMORE”. This quote ties in with many of the other things Unhinged has been noted to allude too. The more you think about it, the more things begin to make sense and one of our primary theories emerges.

In a nutshell, our latest theory is that the shadows and possibly other members of Arrows of Heaven are being controlled like puppets or put under heavy watch at least. Unhinged brings up such instances constantly. The phrase regarding the lack of freedom is just the tip of the iceberg. It should be noted that he says there is no freedom ANYMORE. This could very well mean that at one point there was freedom of some kind. After all, at one point Unhinged states “SHADOWS USED TO HAVE WINGS”. Assuming this theory is correct, we are still unsure why they are now under such a heavy iron fist. This could very well explain why shadows are so incredibly reluctant to speak or do anything out of their “ordinary”. This could also explain Unhinged’s bitterness towards those involved in Arrows of Heaven. What happened to Max is just another sign that accounts are being taken away and made into puppets. Some speculation has gone around that the Suited Man mentioned by Unhinged very often, is the mastermind behind this. I remain skeptical for the time being. In a way, I cannot help but feel sorry for the shadows. I used to look upon them as useless pawns with no story to them. Had I known what was really happening to them, I’d like to think I could have changed my perspective. Our mission remains the same really: find “it”. Though Admiral and I have personal goals of our own. Free the shadows.

As if enough had not been seen already, our next two biggest finds were located in the Continuum. The first: a rare XiContinuum sighting brought forth once again by Admiral. Upon discovering our silent friend, Admiral spoke to him for the first time. If you remember, the only other sighting of XiContinuum was brought forth by Max and I quite some time ago. It was good to see that our silent friend was still kicking. One of the reasons XiContinuum is so rare to find is due to the fact that throughout this investigation, our trips to the continuum have been few and far between. This is because of the incredibly long opening continuum cutscene taking up so much time that we are deterred from returning too often. In any case, XiContinuum only responded with the typical “5890” before disappearing once more. Unfortunately, Admiral was unable to take a photo or inspect XiContinuum, but he was capable of taking a photo of the Silent Ones’ classic phrase.

The reappearance of XiContinuum inspired Admiral to check the continuum once more, prompting a surprising result standing at the gate near the continuum spawn point. GeneralCamera was that surprise. As expected, she showed no signs of life or free thinking while at the continuum, though it was indeed interesting to see her there. It truly begs the question of whether or not any other shadows travel to the Continuum at times. If there is a pattern, we have yet to discover it.

Our latest discovery I will list in this entry was the appearance of RHKDMS the shadow who brought forth a couple quite confusing yet hopeful revelations. RHKDMS was once again standing to the left of the commerce point, but there was a quite notable change in that RHKDMS was now a guy! This change in gender seems to have come out of nowhere seeing as no other shadows have changed in such ways. In any case, while speaking to a friend, Unhinged was mentioned. Upon apparently seeing Unhinged's name, RHKDMS briefly displayed his status as “is feeling angry”. For the first time ever, it would appear as if we had gotten a shadow to react to something we had said. RHKDMS reasoning for being angry has been put to question, though it wouldn't be far fetched to say the RHKDMS is jealous of his counterpart’s freedom. Or it could relate to the fact that Unhinged has broken rules by speaking to us and is now considered an enemy to all shadows. In any case, this brief flicker of emotion could very well be the first step in learning how shadows function and what their back stories/goals are. This game changing moment was much too brief to be photographed, but we have provided a photo of the new RHKDMS.

All in all, it is great to be a part of the investigation to some degree once more. A big thank you to Admiral for helping with this entry and doing all the real work in home. With new discoveries and clues being found by the day, I can only imagine what lies ahead as we continue our search. However, a new issue has come to our attention and this entry cannot end without the news that Playstation Home will be shutting down on March 31st of next year. I think we have all known that this was coming and that Home was simply becoming to old to persist much longer (especially with Playstation 4 taking off). Home will not be returning on the current console, but a similar  game called neotopia has been mentioned often as being Home’s spiritual successor. In any case, our investigation days are numbered and if we are to truly figure out what's going on here, we’ll have to dig quite deep. Our times of on-again off-again investigations have ended now. The clock is ticking. “TICK TOCK TICK TOCK” “LIKE A CLOCK EH?”.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 18

Due to the influx of information Admiral and I are receiving, as well as the fact that we are indeed on a time limit, I will attempt to create as many entries as I can; rather than waiting a month. As far as new information goes, we are knee deep in it all. Therefore, I will not be able to explain everything new that we’ve learned, nor can I take the time to recite EVERYTHING that has happened in the investigation since day 1 (since I had previously said I’d do this in every sixth entry) but I will try to explain as much as I can without this entry taking hours to read. The info you’re about to read is dated in some aspects, and will have to be elaborated on in upcoming entries which contain more recent topics.

Much like our last entry, Unhinged plays an integral part in understanding the events taking place. Upon finding Unhinged a third time, Admiral was met with barrages of new clues and information. However, before Unhinged relayed any new information, he took the time to circle the lights surrounding the commerce point. This action was never referred to again once Unhinged stopped in front of the vault and stood at attention, leaving it up for speculation as to why he did so. Unhinged’s conversation was relatively straight forward for the most part. He put great emphasis on getting the quiz wrong as well as playing the video (.webs.com) backwards. In addition to this, Unhinged once again sung his song and briefly attempted to recall who he (Unhinged) was. Upon apparently remembering, Unhinged seemed to be upset with his past life and provided a plethora of negative connotations regarding it. This could be referring to the fact that Unhinged hates to think of his past life as a shadow, or it could go even deeper than that. As for the video being played backwards, Admiral was quick to find that the voice provided at the end of .webs.com can be heard saying “caught ya” if reversed. This would eventually prove to be incorrect, but I’ll talk more on that later.

Admiral later found GeneralCamera whom he soon began following, pleading for her to explain some of the goings on. For reasons unknown, the shadow took Admiral to the Ghost Maze which is located in a separate portion of the museum. Upon doing so, GeneralCamera made a few surprising attempts at speaking by briefly displaying a text bubble. This was short lived however, as she soon vanished for no apparent reason. I speculated that perhaps she had been forced to leave due to the fact that she was about to break.

After a relatively silent week, Unhinged returned once more, but this time with a different set of goals. When Admiral and a friend approached him with their “caught ya” theory, Unhinged told them they were “INCORRECT” but did not elaborate further. Unhinged then got right to the point in telling them he wanted to “PLAY A GAME”. Upon agreeing to play, Admiral and his friend were shocked to find Unhinged sending them clues via PMs. These clues ranged from binary, to base64, to a similar code to RHKDMS, and more. Once deciphered, each code revealed a location to travel to in order to receive another clue. The order of places Unhinged took the two were: Aurora, Spunland, Acorn Meadows 4th of July, Hudson Gate, and finally Central Plaza. Most of these locations hold certain important factors. Aurora was previously featured in the Brett Supco video detailing creepy things in playstation home. Spunland was made by the same set of people who are currently working on “neotopia” the spiritual successor to home. Acorn Meadows and the Hudson Gate have seemingly no real purpose and could have been chosen for random purposes, but we cannot be sure. Lastly, Central Plaza holds a spot in the hearts of those who have been on home for a long time. After being removed quite some time ago, it was recently brought back for the final days of home’s life. Unhinged taking the two here could very well hold some sort of symbolic meaning. Once meeting

Unhinged here, Admiral received two messages containing the key to understanding where to turn next. One message simply stated “SUITED MAN”. This phrase was repeated multiple times until there was no more room left to type the name. The other message contained the phrase “pointingninjawatcher” (pointing ninja watcher). Along with this, a picture was attached to the message. The picture came from a previous conversation Admiral had with Unhinged, however, if one looks in the background, they will find a bald man in a suit, standing with his back turned towards the two. After pointing this figure out to Admiral, he stated that he had seen no other person in the museum during that conversation. This has left us to believe that the picture Unhinged sent us is actually a rare photograph of the Suited Man himself! This has led to wide speculation, some of which centering around the fact that the Suited Man may be able to be seen by taking photos. The importance of “pointingninjawatcher” will come into play later.

Not long afterwards, Admiral and another friend came into contact with GeneralCamera who had previously shown small signs of life by briefly allowing a text box to appear above her head. Admiral immediately began trying to console her and assure her that it was alright to speak. However, like before, GeneralCamera began leading Admiral down different sections of the Xi Museum before eventually stopping at the doors leading to the Ghost Maze (which she had entered the last time she had been spotted). Thinking quickly, Admiral entered the maze, expecting that he’d beat her there. However, this was not the case as it would appear that she purposefully tricked Admiral into leaving so she could make her escape. However, Admiral’s friend who had yet to leave to the maze, was able to follow the fleeing shadow back into the main section of the museum. Upon doing so, he was able to arrive just in time to see GeneralCamera say “SORRY” before vanishing abruptly. Her reasons for saying sorry could be taken multiple ways given they have little to no context. However, it is quite possible she was apologizing to Admiral for tricking him. Many of us agree that it was Admiral’s kind words which allowed GeneralCamera to feel free enough to speak, though perhaps it was only a matter of time. Ever since this encounter, GeneralCamera has yet to be seen again. The fact that she was able to speak at all shows a growing level of individuality that we have yet to see in many other shadows. And while it could be possible she has gotten into some form of trouble for speaking to us, I’d like to think she has found a way to be free just like Unhinged has.

This brings us to our next topic, one that Admiral and myself have dabbled in briefly. After the events which unfolded with GeneralCamera, we wondered if Unhinged had been freed through similar methods. We never got to see Unhinged in his true shadow form, but it has been implied that he was like that at some point in time. Could it be possible that through these consoling means, Unhinged was also allowed to break free? It is anyone’s guess really, but it would make a fair amount of sense.

After tampering around with google translate for quite some time (being that I thought it was the source of the voice heard at the end of .webs.com) I decided to type in “pointing ninja watcher” and follow this action up by playing the sound backwards. What I found next marked the change in direction this investigation needed. I noted almost immediately that “watcher” sounded practically identical to the voice at the end of .webs.com. A few messages with Admiral earned his interest in it as well. It was ultimately Admiral who came to the conclusion that the words “pointing”, “ninja”, and “watcher” were all in the same video. Along with this, he finally understood why Unhinged chose to combine all those words together. pointingninjawatcher was not a code (as we had believed) it was a website! www.pointingninjawatcher.webs.com is the full URL. The answer to this part of the mystery had practically been in front of us all along!

Upon entering the site, we were met with an underwhelming code set before us. The code clearly was referencing another site, but it took some time for us to figure out exactly how the code worked. In the end, with the help of the clues provided, we found that each letter in the code must have 4 letters subtracted from them in order to understand. In no time at all, we decoded this phrase as www.arrowsofheaven.webs.com .

I personally expected a similar code to be found on this next site, but was quickly proven to be dead wrong.

For what we found on that site is nothing short of incredibly difficult codes. Before I get into what these codes were, I’d also like to point out that a new picture of the Arrow of Heaven was provided on the site as well. The codes on this site are numbered, creating a total of 6 different coded messages. The first  code was relatively simple to understand. It is a backwards version of the RHKDMS code. The letters must be decreased by one in order to come up with the message: “FIND THE SILENT ONE”. The next message is clearly in binary form and translates to: “GET ORIGIN’S ATTENTION”. The next code was found to be base64 for: “RELAY THE MESSAGE TO ORIGIN”. The next code is actually not really a code at all, but rather a message written in French. Upon translation, it was found to be: “CATCH THE BUTTERFLY”. The next code is solved by matching each number with its corresponding letter of the alphabet. After doing so, each word must be unscrambled to form the phrase: “RECEIVE THE BLESSING”. The final code is the most difficult to solve, but was eventually found by first translating each different type of language. Upon doing so, most of the results come in the form of numbers which must then be translated by replacing them with their corresponding letter of the alphabet (like the last one, except you don’t need to unscramble them). In the end, the final code comes out to: “RELAY THE MESSAGE TO THE SILENT ONE”. I will get more into what we believe each clue means in my next entry.

To finish up this entry, I should mention a discovery made by Admiral not long after we had finished decoding arrowsofheaven’s site. Admiral had made the brilliant decision to return to pointingninjawatcher and highlight the ENTIRE page. Hidden at the bottom left corner of the page are black letters which can only be read once highlighted. This forms 3 separate words: “KING”, “DEHART”, and “TROOPER”. This discovery became quite important to piecing a lot of this together, but I will leave it there for now so that perhaps I can explain the words even better upon learning new things as the investigation progresses.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 19

As home draws closer and closer to it’s impending doom, Admiral and I can only scramble to find more clues or information before time runs out. Perhaps it is the sense of home’s giant shut down that has pushed us to discover so much in so little time, or perhaps things just worked out conveniently, but we have discovered so much more since the last entry, it truly becomes difficult to fathom. That being said, I’ll try my very best to pick up from where we last left off.

After discovering the names hidden at the bottom of the pointing ninja watcher site, we were quick to recognize a majority of the names listed. “King” refers to “kingofthesun5” while “dehart” clearly references “dehart67”. Then there was “Trooper” which seemed to come out of nowhere. Never before had such a name come to our attention. That was until Admiral made a shocking discovery mere days afterwards, which could piece this clue together.

While visiting Xi Museum once again, Admiral soon came into contact with what appeared to be a Shadow. What was interesting was that this Shadow had never been documented before. Even stranger was the name: “Trooper4Good”. As per the usual, his trophies were hidden, he took photos occasionally, and the Shadow made no attempt at speaking. It was noted that his profile picture was not of a bow and arrow or the sun with an eye, but rather a cat. His seemingly random avatar left us with a sneaking suspicion as to how he may have been related to the other two names featured on the site. We theorized that all three of those individuals were different investigators that came before us. The list is most likely in an ascending order; meaning that Trooper would have been one of the newest Shadows to join Arrows of Heaven. This theory would later be debunked to some degree.

Not long after this confusing meeting with an unheard of Shadow, Admiral once again made contact with none other than Unhinged. And as we would later learn, this would seemingly be the very last time Unhinged would speak directly to us. Unhinged’s final conversation contains absolutely vital information that cannot be overlooked, so I encourage that you read closely and check out his entire conversation on our facebook page.

Before I can begin stating and deciphering Unhinged’s words, I’d like to point out just how far Unhinged has come in the time we have gotten to know him. Never would I have thought that a person who originally just spoke in broken or random ramblings could become such a well of knowledge and intelligence. Reading Unhinged’s full conversation really allows you to see just how intelligent he is and how he perceives life and freedom. But we’ll get to all that later.

As Admiral began questioning who Origin was (the name mentioned on pointingninjawatcher) Unhinged was more concerned with explaining the origins of Arrows of Heaven, which would ultimately become far more important in the understanding of why they do what they do. Admiral; now wondering whether or not his “chosen one” cycle was over, decided to ask Unhinged if he was too late. Unfortunately, our whistle blowing friend replied that even he was unsure. It has been well over a year since Admiral became involved in this investigation, making the possibilities of his cycle being over; quite high.

Quickly after this, Unhinged goes on to say “DON’T CUT OUR WINGS ORIGIN” in response to Admiral asking who Origin was. This finally confirmed Origin was actually Y2hhaXJz all along. Admiral later asked “What happened to you?” revealing an interesting response of: “SUITED MAN HAPPENED” followed by “HATE HAPPENED”. Unhinged goes on to talk about fog and how it apparently trapped the Shadows in the museum, making it their home. Unhinged likens the feeling to being “STUCK HERE LIKE ANIMALS”.

Unhinged later began to recite a few familiar names; stating that he missed them. The names refer to the following individuals: Brett Supco, RHKDMS, GOLDENSHADOWKING, PN (whom we will talk more about later), and finally (after some thought) the Suited Man. It should be noted that some names were left out. We believe they were left out because all other Shadows we have made contact with, had their accounts taken over; just like Max’s. The names Unhinged mentioned are quite possibly the founding members of Arrows of Heaven. This would explain why none of them have a random profile picture. To backup such a thesis, Unhinged would later state the exact same names once again followed by the word “FRIENDS”, suggesting an early friendship between all these individuals at one point. Though as we would later learn, this friendship was headed for disaster.

Later, Trooper4Good was finally brought to Unhinged’s attention; revealing a couple surprising pieces of info regarding who he was. Unhinged first states that Trooper is “RARE”, likely meaning that sighting such a Shadow is not a normal event and is not likely to happen again. The possibility of rare Shadows has never been brought to our attention before. It makes you wonder just how many Shadows we have yet to discover. But this was not all Unhinged had to say. He quickly began to explain the kingofthesun5, Trooper4Good, and dehart67 (in that order) were former “chosen ones” just like Admiral. This explains why dehart wears a suit and all three of them have custom avatars that were most likely chosen by them prior to becoming Shadows. I began reminiscing as to the fact that dehart67 was the first “Silent One” I had ever seen. But in light of this new evidence, I now wonder if I had simply caught him as he attempted to summon the real Silent One or perhaps fulfill some ritual of mimicry. The dehart67 I met in entry 1 could very well have been dehart67 in his final days of freedom.

UnhingedShadow then states “I WAS THERE WHEN IT ALL BEGAN” followed shortly thereafter by “BRETT…” “XI” “BRETT” “THE FIRST SILENT ONE”. Seeing as “Silent One” refers to the ninjas and Unhinged simply stated Xi; it is quite likely that Brett Supco was the first pointing ninja. This original ninja’s activity was apparently located in the original Xi. The importance of this moment will be detailed later on.

Afterwards, Unhinged goes on to mention more about the mysterious Brett Supco. What he begins to explain not only pieces together some evidence, but also reveals a quite disturbing truth. Unhinged states that “BRETT MADE 5890” resulting in the apparent founders of Arrows of Heaven, fighting him. Admiral and I assumed that this fight was more verbal than physical, though it could go either way. Then the following few words were spoken: “FIGHT HIM” “WE DID” “DISTRACTED” “CAR” “WRECK” “YES YES?” “RIP BRETT”. It’s hard to take a statement like that in any other way. Brett died. This could very well be what led to the creation of Arrows of Heaven. It could also explain why such religious symbolism is repeated throughout certain moments. I could find no results online of anyone named Brett Supco dying in a car wreck; likely meaning the name or just the last name is a pseudonym.

In the final waning moments of the conversation, Unhinged would go onto ask Admiral what he thought freedom was. Admiral responded that freedom meant that you were given certain rights to do what you personally want to do. Unhinged would go on to agree with this, but state that freedom was blind as well. UnhingedShadow then stated that he blamed himself for all of the previously mentioned hardships, and now was going to dedicate himself to ending it.

After trying his best to explain as much as possible, Unhinged finally began to sum up the conversation. He left Admiral with these words: “LIVE ON ADMIRAL… AND DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE (most likely the founders) DID” “DO NOT BE LIKE US” “FOOLS” “LIVE” “AND BE FREE” “SING”. A quote such as this needs no real explanation, for I believe it can be taken multiple ways. It is for this reason that I refuse to elaborate further on it’s meaning.

After this meeting with Unhinged concluded, we were both enlightened yet confused as to what we needed to do next. Thankfully, we did not have to wait long to get our answer. As Admiral once again patrolled the museum, he made contact with another member of Arrows of Heaven. One which we have never met before. This user went by the name “OperationPN”. If the word PN sounds familiar to you, it should. PN was first found spelled out by candles in Y2hhaXJz Message 1. It would later be repeated multiple times by Unhinged. As you read above, PN was mentioned as one of the founding members of Arrows of Heaven; making his appearance a quite exciting moment for us. This user in particular is special in a few ways. First of all,his profile picture is that of a butterfly and his body is surrounded by wisps of light which are an added locomotion that allows the user to move slightly faster than an avatar could run normally. To top it all off, PN’s “about me” profile section stated: “Admiral…”. As Admiral attempted to approach this user, he found that it fled him and continued to do so for quite some time. It didn’t take long for us to realize that OperationPN is actually the butterfly we had to catch (as mentioned in step number 4 of arrowsofheaven.webs.com). Upon doing so, we would apparently receive a blessing of some sort. Admiral also noted that this user was capable of nodding or expressing other actions (such as the bow in the photo). This is a feature that we once thought was only usable by the Silent One. Unfortunately, PN’s advanced speeds made him nearly impossible to catch. Eventually, Admiral lost him and we could only hope and wait for his return.

Shortly afterwards, Admiral learned that Brett Supco’s youtube channel had surprisingly posted a new video! This video is public and can be found at this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=65fJ2NV3f40 . The video is entitled “CoMpAsSRoSe” and features an avatar wandering through a completely empty white space. Almost everything regarding this video is shrouded in mystery. The avatar bears resemblance to Ajin, but that could be a coincidence, the music featured in the video is totally unknown by anyone we've shown this too, and even the background defies logic. Admiral has stated that this avatar most likely glitched through a map, but if this were the case, the background is always blue. Not only this, but by looking incredibly close or by watching the video in negative, one can notice multiple instances in which text appears on the screen. However, this text is so dull and blurry, we have yet to distinguish a single word! I sent the video to a friend of mine, hoping he could adjust it, but he has been busy settling into his college to provide too much help yet. The one thing we do know is that this video was made and posted by UnhingedShadow (due to the ending) who has most likely posted this video as a part of his way of “ENDING IT”. Whatever this video is, Arrows of Heaven most likely doesn't want us to see it, but we cannot always abide by their rules. Until further investigations can decipher this video, it shall remain that of a mystery.

As if we didn't already have enough to speculate on, Admiral once again found OperationPN at Xi Museum. Another chase ensued, ending each time in Admiral being incapable of catching the butterfly. However, eventually Admiral noticed a pattern forming. He noted that if he stood still long enough, OperationPN would actually begin moving closer to him. I likened this behavior to that of a real butterfly, which will flee if you spend all your time chasing it and talking. After learning this trick, Admiral stood perfectly still as the butterfly grew ever closer. After allowing the butterfly to grow close enough, Admiral spoke to OperationPN who, in-turn, responded with the following: “A ROCK THAT SPEAKS?” “IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE SEEN A ROCK THAT SPEAKS” “THIS IS GOOD” “BLESSING” “A BLESSING FOR YOU”. With this, Admiral as well as myself were 100% sure that step number 5 of the arrowsofheaven site was now fulfilled. All that was left was for us to recite a message to the Silent One. What this message is, we are still unsure. As of even now, XiMuseum sightings have gone down significantly and Shadow appearances have seemingly ceased entirely. Now we are just left with an empty museum, questions, and a lot of time on our hands.

In conclusion to this long and informative entry, I’d like to pay my respects to Unhinged and what he fought against. I’ll leave you for now, with one of his quotes found in his final conversation. “I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WORSE” “LIVING IN THAT FOG” “OR WATCHING THOSE WITHIN IT…” “FALL” “STUMBLE” “LOSE THEIR WAY” “BUT…” “HERE I AM…”

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 20

We are less than a month away from home’s big shut down. If I had to guess, I’d say that unless a series of huge and confounding clues begin springing up, this very well might be the second to last entry I release. Admittedly, things seem to be moving along slower now as opposed to finding new clues just about every other day. The bright side of this is that I can now bring you up-to-date with all of our findings instead of having to save them for next time. There is a lot to talk about, so it’s best that I get right to it.

Starting off with some of the more disappointing news, my friend has only become busier since the last time I spoke with him about bringing the recent Brett Supco video to better quality. The odds of him getting to the video seem pretty low at this point, meaning that Unhinged’s mysterious video may remain just as confounding as the day it was discovered; or at least until someone else can find the proper way to analyze it. Before becoming too busy to work on the video, my friend did tell me that he found the letters: “PN” within some of the video’s coding. Being that PN has appeared multiple times over the past few entries, it stands to reason that this video could have originally contained some sort of code relating to it. Though in all honesty, it seems more likely to me that the two letters being side-by-side is more of a coincidence than anything else.

Luckily, the video brought to us by Unhinged is thankfully not the last piece of evidence he left us. As you will have noted from Unhinged’s many talks with Admiral, he’d often mention “a story” but never actually tell it. After his final meeting, we were certain that Unhinged’s story would never actually be told. That all changed the day that Admiral received a surprising message on playstation from Unhinged. The message’s subject is “ENDING”, most likely referencing the fact the this will be the last time we are contacted by Unhinged. Following this, the message states: “I WANT YOU TO TELL OUR STORY. AJ’S AS WELL. TELL THE WORLD NOT TO BE LIKE US. TELL THE WORLD TO BELIEVE AND UNDERSTAND.” Attached to this message is the same image of Unhinged and Admiral as last time (the one containing the Suited Man). But this is far from the end. The ending of the message delivers to us a link to an all new website and a plethora of clues. The website is as follows: http://silversunforever.wix.com/breakfree .

Upon traveling to this website, you are immediately greeted with a white screen and the phrase: “BROKEN ARROWS” in black letters. Following this, pictures, a video, a poem, and an incredibly long section of sentences begin appearing; revealing the web page in all it’s splendor. After reading over the page a multitude of times, I’ve come up with an overall theory as to what the story is really saying.

\*Note\* Before reading, I'd like to point out that everything included within this document is purely theory. I could certainly see how this story could be taken in a multitude of different ways. What you see below is simply my rendition of what it all really means.

In regards to the poem introducing the Broken Arrows site, it is of my personal opinion that there is no single explanation as to what it all means. And seeing as how we have never experienced any poems or talk about suns throughout the course of the investigation, I do not believe I have enough evidence to back up by theories as to what it means. The story below however, I am much more familiarized with.

Also, before we get to the story, I'd like to mention the photos and video put on the site. The photos are clearly that of Unhinged; facing the camera with a white background behind him. He is now is a very low resolution polygon form that is really quite interesting to look at. Clicking the photo to the right will take the viewer to the Wikipedia page for the original Xi, which will become an important plot point in the story. The photo to the left doesn't take the viewer anywhere. Finally, the video below the poem is quite clearly the song that Unhinged was well known for singing at times. Listening to the song while reading the story is a pretty cool experience that I'd suggest trying.

Simply put, I believe the story found on this site is a complete explanation (in the proper timeline order) as to the formation of Arrows of Heaven to how they behave in the present day. The story begins by talking about a shooting range that existed a long time ago and was quite different from "this one". I believe the term "shooting range" is a placeholder name for "space" a space is what you call each different area in home. There are a wide variety of spaces on home, some of which are indeed quite different and old. Throughout the course of this story, you will find a lot of symbolism like that. It then mentions a set of arrows which are huddled together in their good enough holster, living their good enough life. This refers directly to the founders of Arrows of Heaven which might be: Suited Man, OperationPN, GOLDENSHADOWKING, UnhingedShadow, RHKDMS, and Brett Supco (as they were mentioned by Unhinged during his final meeting, in which he stated he missed them).

The story goes on to talk about one arrow who looked beyond his good enough life and saw targets of opportunity. I believe "targets" refer to the people that become interested in Arrows of Heaven's actions. Assuming that Brett Supco was the first arrow (as is also evident by Unhinged's words) it is inferred that Brett could have been the ninja in the original Xi, working all by himself. Seeing as he was on his own, he didn't hit many targets. But as the story would suggest, as he continued to try, more and more people became interested. Meanwhile, the other arrows became concerned with Brett's actions and attempted to get him to stop. They didn't understand Brett and why he did what he did, but they tried to hinder him anyways.

The story then says "the arrow grew silent" this choice of words perfectly matches the primary characteristic of the ninjas which (as we learned from the quiz) are called "The Silent Ones" by those within Arrows of Heaven. Perhaps in his first few days, the original ninja of Xi actually talked a bit more. The story goes on to say that perhaps the arrow wanted to differ from "the set and the rocks which watched the sky." This tells us two things. For one: even Unhinged isn't sure why Brett did what he did. This would imply that no one in Arrows of Heaven knows why he did it either, which is actually really ironic seeing as that is all they do now. Then it mentions the rocks watching the sky. Rocks refer to anyone on home, not just the targets (as I'll explain later). The rocks, at this early stage, are still interested in the outside world, and look into the sky to see what lies ahead.

Following this, the message says: "The arrow broke". This simple statement actually is the turning point in the entire operation. It signifies the moment Brett died in a car accident (as explained by Unhinged). Following this loss, the set (which I'll remind you, refers to the founders) left their holster just as Brett had once done. Rocks are mentioned once again later. They are now described as slowly turning upside down. This signifies how many people on home are losing interest in that of which they can't explain and no longer are seeing the big picture of things. However, it says that the arrows (in the set) grew stronger and "molded and pounded themselves into the right shapes and sizes that they individually saw fit." The key word here is "individually" which implies that the arrows had freedom and did whatever they thought was right to continue their plans. It says that arrows could fly (flying refers to freedom).

Then another important turning point takes place when the story says "One arrow strayed from it's course." That arrow, I believe, is the Suited Man; who the story describes as seeing faults in the other arrows' designs and taking control of the whole system in order to shape them in ways he saw fit. He molded himself bigger than the others, giving him power over the rest. In doing so, he metaphorically shot the wings off of the other arrows. The arrows were no longer free. The arrows were now chained together; forced to drag behind the Suited Man and his pursuit to carry on what Brett started. The story goes on to say "The chains were strong and stretched far over the shooting range." This quite literally means that the Suited Man's influence has since spread over home and his hold on the arrows is very strong.

Then the truth comes out; the truth that the arrows actually don't realize that they are slaves to the Suited Man. They have lost the feeling of freedom and think that dragging against the ground is simply flying close to it. However, the rocks saw the arrows for how they truly were: silent. These arrows that the Suited Man shaped, are now known as Shadows.

Some rocks tried to cut at and break the chains in order to help the arrows, but then the story says a "fog came." Personally, I am still not sure what the fog represents but it apparently caused "the arrow" (possibly referring to the Suited Man) to lose it's path. "Now that shooting range is long gone" is actually a vital clue in determining what home space this all originally took place in. Personally, I think all clues point to the Original Xi as being the first, seeing as it is no longer accessible to the public.

It then says the range has been replaced with "ranges littered with rocks facing downwards." Now this would imply that the people who once embraced mystery and the unknown, no longer care and do not look to the future anymore. It says that the rocks who dared to look back up were molded into more broken arrows. This could explain how Max, kingofthesun5, GeneralCamera, dehart67, and others became part of the Arrows of Heaven. What the story means by "rocks breaking themselves while watching the arrows drag." is beyond me.

The last few sentences refer more to Unhinged himself. It talks about how some arrows were torn free and now lie buried in the dirt. This is similar to Unhinged being freed by "AJ" and becoming quite insane in his ramblings and movements. Only once he was torn free did Unhinged truly understand that he was not an arrow anymore. He was simply a stick with a sharp end. He sees that now.

Already completely satisfied with Unhinged’s story, it was an utter and complete miracle that I ended up finding even more secrets as I attempted to copy and paste the story to an open document I had set up. Upon pasting, I found yet another hidden message below the story, which can only be found if the website is copied in just the right way. The message reads: “UNHINGED; FREED; UNHINGED; FREED; WHY ME?” This statement is quite easy to perceive as Unhinged questioning whether or not he prefers to be free again. But this is far from all that was found. Also hidden with these words is ANOTHER link which leads viewers to a hidden photo section on the pointingninjawatcher website. The link is as follows: www.pointingninjawatcher.webs.com/apps/photos/ .

Viewers are immediately met with a dark page containing one photo album called: “MEMORY”. Upon clicking this, you will then be met with 10 photos all uploaded by a user called “ArrowsofMemory”. It is quite likely that Arrows of Heaven did not intend for us to find these photos, but Unhinged provided this link as a way to allow us to understand more of what is really going on. I would not be all that surprised if the photos are taken down at some point, but they should all be found our facebook page if such an event were to happen. I will now attempt to explain each photo and what it may suggest or hide.

Image number 1 appears to be that of the moon surrounded by clouds. It’s quite a beautiful picture, but as far as I can tell, serves no purpose other than to distract from the important pictures. Though it is possible that these photos were taken by someone who saw special meaning in them at the time.

The next photo shows a pile of blue leaves covering a paper (or wooden slab) with the Arrows of Heaven symbol placed upon it. If one is to look closely at the right side of the paper, they will find the familiar phrase: “RIP B. (Brett)” inscribed on it. The blue leaves likely represent sadness at the death of Brett.

Image number 3 is quite clearly the face of a rock as it is pelted by water. Though beautiful, this image serves no purpose as far as I can tell. The same can be said for image number 5 as well.

Image number 6 shows off the Arrows of Heaven symbol once again, this time apparently dripping with water and lying in what could be some sort of shrub (seeing as a branch can be seen poking out).

Image number 7 is particularly interesting as it appears in both color and black and white. The color primarily focuses on a plant which (upon closer inspection) appears to be a rose bush as deduced by the appearance of thorns on the stem and leaves. A light source can be seen above the rose bush; apparently illuminating it. The purpose of this image is unknown, though it very well could be a metaphor of some kind.

The next picture shows an electronic clock. The image is devoid of color and one of the few pictures not taken outdoors. The clock’s time is not shown. In it’s place are strangely shaped numbers or letters that form no cohesive meaning.

Image number 9 is incredibly difficult to distinguish. The only thing that really stands out here are some dark symbols found near the edge of the brown portion of the photo. These symbols are equally as challenging to understand, leaving this photo as a mystery.

Image number 10 is a small image featuring the Xi logo, this time appearing as green instead of the usual light blue. I am not sure what this means, but it should be noted that this is the thumbnail image for the entire album, meaning it’s significance may be high.

Those of you who are paying attention may have noticed that I excluded image 8. This is because image 8 is probably the most revealing and important photo in the entire album. The photo is in black and white and shows a poster board covered in multiple papers and thumbtacks. This is the only photo to have a description, that description being: “NULL=DEHART”. Taken literally, this could mean that dehart67 also takes up the role of Null in the “Answers” quiz.

The image is quite blurry and must be rotated in order to read correctly. One thing that is immediately noticeable is a calendar on the month of April. This calendar gives a timeframe for when this photo was taken: April 13th or April 14th. Every date prior to the 14th shows either letters, the symbols “X” and “-”, or a number. The meaning of each of these things is unknown, but may come into play later.

The far right middle paper is titled “SHADOW PLACEMENTS” and is vital in understanding what this poster’s purpose is. The words below are practically impossible to read except for the words “ROOM B-20” and some additional times listed below. We believe this poster is for the Arrows of Heaven shadows; telling them where to go and what to do once there. The symbols, letters, and numbers appearing on the calendar may dictate how they behave once there or if they even do anything at all.

“PHOTOS”, “APRIL”, and “DESIGNATION 2” are the only words I can distinguish on the lower right picture below the shadow placements one. It’s purpose is unknown.

The lower middle paper in tough to read and every time I look at it, I seem to see different words. I’d encourage anyone reading this to check out the photo for yourselves and come up with your own translations, because I am not much help in determining what is being said.

The lower left photo is a list of dates in April which go up until the 15th before the paper is cut short. Each date is followed by the word “OFF” or a longer statement. Some of these statement include: “MEETING ARRANGEMENT ACT. OFF” and “TEST RUN” among others. Clearly the things being expressed on these papers are meant for people who already know what they mean. his was never intended for people like us who are not directly involved.

Lastly, in the upper left corner, you will find a chart which can be surprisingly easy to read. The top of the chart first lists colors such as red, blue, green, and yellow (in that order). The remainder of this confusing graph consists of numbers and dashes which hold no meaning to us. Admiral speculated that the colors could represent what color each shadow’s name will appear as on home. For example, Trooper4Good’s name appears as red.

Other papers can be seen poking out from behind the major ones. This includes a paper with a large binary code printed on to it, a paper with smaller binary code printed on it, and a lined paper with dark marks on it; found to the left of the shadow placement paper.

This photo raises far more questions than answers. My primary issue with this photo is that it is seemingly spitting in the face of our previous idea that Arrows of Heaven was not an organized company, but rather a large group of people who were ruled under a very real iron fist. Seeing such formal papers detailing apparently important information makes it feel as if everything within this investigation was pre-plotted. However, it has dawned on me that this poster may actually belong to the Suited Man who now uses it to stay updated on how he is to control the shadows.

\*My next theory is hard to explain, so pay close attention\* It can also be noted that the original Xi began March 23rd of 2009 and lasted for 12 weeks. Assuming that Arrows of Heaven took up formation on April 1st of the same year (as evidenced by the black and white calendar), it can be said that this picture may have been taken back when the “arrows” in Arrows of Heaven were still free and able to work together to carry on what Brett started. This would explain why the poster seems to talk more freely and be available for multiple people to see. This would also imply that Brett died within the first 8 days of the original Xi (seeing as that is how many days of March remained until April began). Assuming that Brett started his acts as the original Silent One on day 1 of Xi and continued for enough days to gain attention as well as the fact that Arrows of Heaven would have needed some time to organize themselves, it is safe to say that Brett may have died March 27th or March 28th of 2009. Giving him just enough time to gain attention and lose the faith of his friends. This would also allow Arrows of Heaven to organize themselves for a few days before their true formation.

Our time on home grows shorter by the day and it’s hard for me to fathom that the social gaming platform I have grown to love is shutting down for good. I won’t only miss the investigation, but the games and the people as well. If there is one thing that I believe has not been appropriately pointed out in the past entries is just how incredible home was. I can only imagine I’ll miss it even more once it’s gone. I do wonder at times; how Arrows of Heaven will react as well. Home meant more to them than a simple gaming platform. It meant carrying on what Brett started. It meant doing their best to make up for their lack of understanding.

## Pointing Ninja of Xi 21

It’s such an odd feeling to have to say that this is my final entry. I'm pretty sure I’ve said this about 4 times now, but this time there really is no way around it. Playstation Home is now closed down, and without that, the epicenter of what made Arrows of Heaven, is now broken. Even if there are further clues which appear after this entry has been written (perhaps in the form of neotopia or another social platform on the ps4), I doubt they will be abundant enough for me to feel as though an entirely new entry needs to be made. No, this is the end of the line for me, but we will get into all of that business at the end of this entry.

It actually took quite some time after I wrote entry 20 until it dawned on me that Home actually still had an entire month before it’s shut-down; contrary to my belief that it would be less than a month away. However, the extra time given after that point was hardly fruitful in it’s unveiling of clues or mysteries. However, our comrade Jake, who worked with us in the investigation for some time under the name of Haily, ended up making a shocking discovery that at least allowed us a few weeks worth of new content to look over. This would come in the form of yet another video.

This video entitled “Arrows of Heaven” can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2oIwBFnEGs and features a man in a dark ski mask with yet another dark mask underneath it. The man also wears gloves in order to keep any distinguishing features at bay. The video is almost entirely silent except for the sounds of muffled tapping which seem randomized in nature and unimportant in the overall purpose of the video. This video starts off showing a paper posted to a wall, bearing seemingly random letters which are then repeated a multitude of times until the bottom half of the paper cannot be seen due to a fold. The video then zooms out to focus on the masked individual as he holds a small object in front of the camera before a sudden cut in the video is made. The man then holds a notepad featuring the Arrows of Heaven logo within a box along with odd symbols seen near the bottom right corner. Upon lowering the notebook, the original paper can again be seen, yet it has now been flipped upside down so as to show off the bottom portion of the paper, which was previously unseen. The video then quickly ends with the masked figure staring at the camera for a final time.

My views on this video are back and forth to say the least. On one hand it clearly holds clues and is referencing our investigation, yet at the same time the video seems to me to be shot in a closet (as is notable by a look at the background at the 13 second mark) as well as the fact that the video is on a different channel entirely (as opposed to the Brett Supco channel). The channel is entitled NullVoid (referencing the quiz) and was actually created January 26, 2014, making it over a year old at this point. I do wonder if we have been overlooking this video all along or if it was only recently unveiled. Either way I would hate to squander this final entry by wasting your time discussing my theories on what could simply be a “fan made” video. There are just more things discrediting this video’s authenticity than there are facts to support it. It is great to think that there is someone else out there who was interested enough in this investigation as to make a video about it, but I simply will not delve any deeper into what appears to be a wild goose chase.

Thanks to our extra month of searching, a certain event from this investigation’s past has had it’s chance to nag at my mind for some time now. If you’ll recall one of my phrases from entry 16, I stated briefly: “I do know a bit more about this investigation that what I am saying, mainly regarding Ajin and kingofthesun. Though Admiral and I have both agreed not to reveal this information out of respect for Ajin and his origins. Maybe someday, when I feel as if it can no longer do harm, I will tell you what we learned…” I believe that it is time for me to explain what we have been holding out on for so long, as well as why we did it. It was Unhinged’s final message regarding the idea of telling AJ’s story that really brought me to recall this.

Entry 14 was the final time that Ajin was seemingly spotted by one of our members, though this is actually not true. Not long after this photo of the aging Ajin was taken, Admiral received a friend request and an invitation from Ajin, asking him to come to his apartment for what would come to be the actual final conversation with him. Ajin’s apartment was the default “Harbour Studio” apartment given to all players on home and Ajin now offered Admiral a plethora of information regarding his past.

Ajin’s story is one of tragedy, much like that of Unhinged, but with Ajin at a different angle to all of this. It was revealed by Ajin that he was once investigator like us. His group named themselves “Eyes in the Sky” and among its ranks were also kingofthesun5 and presumably GeneralCamera (though she was never directly mentioned) as well as other unnamed individuals. Ajin stated that he and kingofthesun5 were best friends and were hot on the trail of discovering the truth behind Arrows of Heaven. However, over time, Ajin stated that members of Eyes in the Sky either quit or were turned to shadows as well. To make matters worse, kingofthesun5 was chosen to “discover it” and vanished entirely, leaving Ajin as the last remaining member of Eyes in the Sky. Ajin would go on to say how he had been spending the rest of his days on home attempting to figure out what happened to kingofthesun5, apparently to no avail (he seemed to be aware of kingofthesun’s appearance as a shadow, but he wanted to know more about how to free him or speak to his best friend once again). At this point, Ajin was far more aged than before and made it clear to Admiral that he would no longer be able to speak with him and that this story should remain a secret. And so it has, even from others working on the investigation. This story finally allows us to understand why Ajin did not wish for us to continue investigation, why he didn't want to join us, and why he wanted us to tell him if we saw a shadow who could speak. It was all to get his best friend back while refraining from losing new ones, and as far as we know, he may never have been able to. Unhinged was right. This story deserves to be told. I truly believe Ajin freed Unhinged because he realized the same thing.

After this conversation had ended, Ajin unfriended Admiral and sent him a few messages containing photos. One photo shows Ajin during his younger days (still with blonde hair and such). Another photo showed Ajin’s final appearance as a bald; elderly man. Another confounding image showed what appears to be either dehart67 (in his original gold ninja outfit) or XiMuseum crouching and pointing in bushes with butterflies and fauna surrounding him. The location and purpose of this photo remains debated. It has been discussed that perhaps yet another ninja exists somewhere else on home entirely, or that this photo could have been taken before the ninja decided to take up residence in the museum. It’s impossible to tell, seeing as Ajin did not elaborate on it. Finally, Ajin sent a final message featuring an image of a male avatar surrounded by a white vortex as he bows in the Xi Museum. His similar appearance to Ajin led us to believe that it was actually him, yet it was only months ago when OperationPN was discovered that we learned the photo was actually of the shadow (butterfly) all along. The photo of OperationPN that was featured in entry 19 was actually the one sent by Ajin, it was not taken by Admiral as I may have led you to believe. In truth, OperationPN was to fast for Admiral to take a steady photo of. Thus we can thank Ajin for the only known photograph of the elusive and presumably rare shadow. It can be assumed that this photo was taken when OperationPN appeared to Eyes in the Sky shortly before kingofthesun found “it”, though this is merely a guess. And with that, all contact with Ajin has been shut down, and that is the truth. I’d like to apologize for keeping this hidden for so long, but it was simply out of respect for Ajin that we kept it a secret until Unhinged’s recent pleading with us to tell it. If it were not for Unhinged, this truth most likely would have never been told.

Finally, the time came for home to shut down. Despite my best efforts, I was incapable of appearing on home during it’s final hours due to internet issues, meaning that the status of the pointing ninja and the shadows on this final day may never be known. I was was preparing myself for mere disappointment upon logging on the next morning, I was instead greeted with a message from Y2hhaXJz. No subject, no photo, just a link. And this link would lead me to what I personally believe is to be the final clue/message given to us by Arrows of Heaven. The link is as follows: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2woXxfCfs and will lead you to a hidden video on Brett Supco’s channel, simply titled “PN” (referencing the PN photo sent by Y in a previous message as well as OperationPN).

This PN video starts out immediately playing “Look Out For Me” by Paul Ballard, a song directly correlated with the original Xi and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bJII9eZaQ8 . The video sweeps up to reveal three individuals standing on the balcony found inside Xi Museum. I will get back to the importance of these 3 later. The vault in the museum is then shown as well as a drawn Arrow of Heaven. What follows are brief sequences showing people at the museum, as well as photos of XiMuseum and XiContinuum. There is also a brief appearance of arrowsofheaven.webs.com and pointingninjawatcher.webs.com. The video then glitches in a certain way to reveal Brett Supco’s original video of “creepy/mysteries in playstation home”.

Following this is a brief yet incredibly important moment in the video; showing kingofthesun5 addressing what appears to be XiMuseum as he states “what are you pointing at?” this video was clearly taken before kingofthesun became a shadow, and was trying to solve the mystery. After a few more photos of XiMuseum, XiContinuum, and some more throwbacks to the original Xi, a video showing message 7 can be seen as it is being sent by Y2hhaXJz to D8. If one looks closely, they will notice the image of Y2hhaXJz waving in the background in the same photo which he had sent us in another message.

More clips from the past are then shown before a new clip appears, showing the Harbor Studio apartment balcony with what appears to be chairs littered all over it (though it is difficult to tell). These chairs are common among new players on home and could be referencing the other moments in the investigation in which chairs were mentioned.

After a few more glimpses at previous messages and people in the museum, we get an incredibly brief look at an avatar dressed to look like a soldier, looking downwards. I was at first unsure what this could mean, until I recalled Trooper4Good’s name and green attire. This image could very well be of Trooper4Good before he found “it” and became a shadow.

The video goes on to show a video clip of my original entry on the creepypasta wiki, furthering my evidence that Arrows of Heaven was well aware of my writings and chose not to interfere with them. An avatar can then be seen saying “...he’s planning something” and “It will unlock something big”. It is hard to say what this could mean, though I’d think it would be referencing “it” and how finding it will unlock something. I have no clue under what circumstances this was brought into a conversation.

The video progresses to show a brief clip in which an avatar with what appears to be a hood on and a horn of some sort, watches over a plethora of individuals in the museum. Such a figure is never shown again, leaving me to wonder if it was a metaphor for the Suited Man.

The following clip is easy to miss, but shows us a glimpse at “5890” being said. However, the text bubble in which it appears in is light blue as opposed to the gray color dawned by both XiMuseum and XiContinuum. This could only mean that it is dehart67 saying the numbers, since his name is written in the same light blue color. This appropriately appears right as the song says “Are you listening to me?”

Immediately afterwards is a segment in which kingofthesun5 says “I figured you out” followed by “take me to your apartment” (the phrase found in the pointing.webs.com site) which is then shown appearing directly afterwards followed by brief glimpses of XiContinuum and dehart67 (in his original golden outfit) pointing forwards in their respective locations.

What follows is an up-close look at kingofthesun5 as he looks towards the right, followed by Y2hhaXJz looking to the left and frowning briefly. This scene is vital in understanding what became of kingofthesun5, though I shall wait until a later portion of the video to expand upon it.

After another look at one of my entries, a brief clip featuring Jess (at the end of the original Xi) is seen and Jess can be heard stating “...and to help guide the future, as best we can”. Could this “guiding” be referring to the ninjas pointing players in certain directions and letting them follow clues towards the future? Perhaps that shall never be known.

Once again, we are then offered a photo of a man looking over a balcony, this time with no-one surrounding him (the 2 other people in the previous balcony photo are not present). A closer inspection of the man’s clothes reveals that he is wearing a suit. It is immediately clear that this individual is the Suited Man in his earlier years (as he was more recently photographed by Unhinged with a gray suit and bald head) the first image of him, I believe was pictured before the Suited Man took over Eyes in the Sky, and included him speaking freely with his friends. This second photo shows him appearing far more closed-off and left to his thoughts as he looks over everything in a closed-off sort of way. The sad before and after effect used here delves into an aspect we never quite thought of; the impact these changes have had on the Suited Man and whether or not they are negative for him as well.

Shortly afterwards, another new image is revealed, showing multiple individuals in a space closely resembling XiMuseum. Among them is an avatar in a red t-shirt whom (upon close inspection) appears to be pointing. What must also be noted is the presence of an avatar in soldier garb. This, I believe is yet another photo of Trooper4Good while he and his friends were still involved in the investigation.

Immediately following this is a photo of multiple chairs which now lie in a large pile inside a harbor studio apartment. This image is clearly coinciding with the previous image showing chairs scattered on the balcony.

Soon the video changes once more to a segment in which kingofthesun5 can be seen standing with his arms behind his back, before suddenly transforming into Y2hhaXJZ who (as we had noted a long time ago) dresses and appears quite similar to kingofthesun. Though we always thought this to be a mere coincidence, this video seemingly demerits such an idea, as we will discuss later.

Next comes an incredibly fast portion of video, showing a single chair, standing upright with a shadow in the shape of an X casting upon it. Being that all other chairs shown in this video were cluttered, one must wonder why this chair in particular is placed as such. I will explain now that I believe that this chair is “it”. I will delve into what I mean by that later.

Now one of the most important moments in the video takes place. The moment in which the continuation of what was said by kingofthesun5 to XiMuseum occurs. After saying: “Take me to your apartment” kingofthesun was seemingly sent to, or shown something impressive, causing him to react in astonishment as well as excitement. Upon asking what he is to do now, XiMuseum utters something besides his trademark “5890” this time stating “Your new future awaits. You will get your answers. You will change.” In case you have not yet caught on. Every section of the video involving kingofthesun5 revolves around his transformation from investigator to Y2hhaXJz himself. The phrase “take me to your apartment” must have been the sixth step mentioned on arrowsofheaven.webs.com. Relaying that message to XiMuseum is what prompted the Silent One to take kingofthesun5 to this location. The reason this phrase never worked for us before is because we had yet to receive the blessing. Only after receiving the blessing from OperationPN was it useful. XiMuseum’s apartment must be the Harbor Studio apartment which possessed the many empty chairs. The one chair which remained standing was the key to finding it. The chair was the goal all along (as symbolized by the X). Perhaps sitting in this last remaining seat prompted the change from investigator to shadow, or maybe another event occurred. That answer shall never be known, but this is the closest we will most likely ever come to knowing what the grand reward for this investigation really was. But as I will discuss soon, was that prize really worth it?

Right after this, Admiral can be seen in a few clips, furthering my evidence that other “chosen” individuals are present in this video (Trooper4Good). What remains of the video are a plethora of shots revealing both XiMuseum and XiContinuum as they point for various onlooking avatars, furthering our understanding of just how many people came into contact with these two ninjas over such a long period of time.

As the video draws to a close, the museum vault can be seen once more, this time bathed in a white light similar to that seen during Jess’s segment in the video. Only this time the vault as well as all of it’s surroundings are upside-down, as was shown in one of the earliest Y2hhaXJz message photos. As if this ending were not perfect enough, as the song ceases and the video enters it’s final seconds, an image of a young man apparently in what seems to be a yearbook appears on-screen. The answer as to who this young man is, becomes quite clear. This individual is Brett; the one who instigated the rise of beautiful arrows, and whose will was falsely tampered with by the Suited Man, leading us down this path. It would make no sense for anyone else to appear here. Brett started all of this, and it’s only right that he was there when it ended. And so the video does just that. It ends.

Now with home gone and this mystery wrapped up to some extent, I’d like to give my final thoughts on the complete story of Arrows of Heaven. Of Course I expect it to be flawed and I cannot mention every little clue as a part of it, but I think it’s only right that I attempt to sew the story together from the information we have gathered. I believe that all of this started with a young man named Brett who became the first pointing ninja in the original Xi. I believe he had a falling out with his friends over the odd behavior, which indirectly caused his fate in a deadly car wreck. Brett’s friends were so saddened by this loss, they formed Arrows of Heaven and sought to carry on what Brett started by doing the same thing in their own unique ways. But one of these friends, who is now known only as the Suited Man, saw fault in this individuality and sought to end it by becoming an all seeing eye amongst the team, and tying them down to fit his own plans. What started as an activity to honor a friend slowly became warped and twisted into the current Arrows of Heaven who got the attention of kingofthesun5, Trooper4Good, and dehart67 and eventually turned them as well as many others into shadows; leaving behind avatars like Ajin, or leaving no trace at all. But now home has ended. And with home’s passing, I can only hope that the shadows as well as even the Suited Man can find peace and that the Suited Man’s warped version of Brett’s will can finally fade away.

Perhaps it is for the best that we never found “it” perhaps it sets us apart from those who came before us. Whatever Brett meant when he first uttered “5890” is not the same thing as what the ninjas meant, nor what any other member of Arrows of Heaven meant. The true meaning and the true prize are only known to Brett alone, and the Suited Man’s recreation of it, despite all of his authority and followers, can only extend so far.

To sum everything up, I’d like to once again thank everyone who helped me in this investigation. This mystery in it’s entirety made home an even more fun and exciting place for me. I got to feel the sheer excitement of finding a new clue, I got to marvel at the mystery of strange photos and codes, I got to feel sadness at the loss of friends and the joy of meeting new ones. I learned to appreciate what caused Arrows of Heaven and come to vaguely understand why it mattered. Respect is what fed Arrows of Heaven. Respect for what was lost and what could be done to fill the gaping hole that loss can become. It is only how you deal with that loss and how you learn to respect what can be made out of it, that you truly win. That is what “it” is for me. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
