This report chronicles the alarming phenomenon of teenage girls around the world who have started to disappear without a trace. Investigations by governments have found no evidence of abduction or assault. Recently, a post on a forum dedicated to a newly released sports game called Azumi drew attention when a user claimed to have spotted a player resembling one of the missing girls, accompanied by screenshots.

Shortly after its launch, Azumi was placed on indefinite hiatus, and the developers have seemingly vanished without explanation.

Azumi is not for the faint-hearted. Players face challenging decisions in a highly competitive environment, engaging in battles, collecting trophies, and crafting items. Side quests and betting opportunities allow players to advance their characters' skills, abilities, and resources. However, other players are also vying for dominance. To participate, players must acquire Azumis—NFTs developed by the Azumi Company—as well as have internet access and a smartwatch with a verified wallet.

Further investigation confirms that the missing girls have avatars resembling them in Azumi. The game remains operational, and we are prepared to deploy additional players to investigate.

We have assembled 1,000 candidates, codenamed "Runners," to assist with this ongoing crisis. They are aware of the risks involved and have agreed to undertake this potentially dangerous mission. Notably, Candidate 220 was also a Beta Tester, and we will be sending them into the game soon. To all Runners: good luck.

Update: All female candidates are now trapped in the game. Do not send any more players in. We have lost contact with the 222 Runners who were able to join. No additional players are permitted to enter the game at this time. Orders are to standby until further notice.
