What Seiji wanted to know was something that many others wanted to know as well.
A major city's electricity and communication system being paralyzed was a serious matter!
Although the more important locations had backup power sources or generators that could temporarily maintain power, it would be difficult to restore the communication system in a short period of time.
And the consequences of not being able to communicate would be the inability to call an ambulance if there was an emergency, the inability to call the police if there was a crime, and the inability to call the fire department if there was a fire … People would die!
Why was it like this? Could it have been an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) missile attack? Where did it come from!?
Civil servants, electricity company employees, telecommunications company employees … everyone from every department hurriedly went to work and dealt with the situation according to the disaster preparedness plan.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Ability users were also enraged.
Who the hell cast such a large-scale disruption spell!?
To damage the entire city, this was basically a terrorist attack! Which bastard would be so daring!?
No matter who or what faction it was, they were dead meat for doing such a thing!
Although the communication system had been cut off, the Spiritual Ability users had their own ways of contacting each other. Soon, the Spiritual Ability users finished their discussions and immediately gave orders for the elites of the various factions to take action.
Once the troublemaker or the troublemaker was found, it would be their end!
Seiji didn't manage to leave the hospital.
That was because he saw the person he was going to look for.
"Harano!"
Saki shouted at him as she helped Mayuzumi out of the taxi.
"Editor Yoshizawa! Sensei! "
Seiji ran over to them.
"Mayuzumi suddenly had a fever …"
"Ling Yang as well. Little Shi and I brought her here, and we were just about to go look for Sensei …"
Seiji carried Mayuzumi in a princess carry and hurriedly walked back to the hospital.
After the doctor examined Mayuzumi, he prescribed the manga author the same medicine as the little girl and arranged for her to receive an IV drip.
"Mayuzumi and I celebrated the New Year together. At midnight … after the electricity suddenly went out, she started having a fever and said that she had a strange feeling just now," Saki explained. "I felt that this fever was abnormal, so I brought her here."
"You're right."
"Harano, what's going on?" The female editor frowned.
"I don't know. Little Shi and I also felt something at that moment, but we don't know what exactly happened." Seiji sighed.
There was a moment of silence.
"Seiji, did you hear that?" A voice suddenly reached his ears.
It was Summer Night's voice! It was obvious that she was using a spell to communicate.
"I heard you," he responded immediately and gestured to Saki before walking to the window.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. However, something happened to Little Ling Yang and Peach-sensei. They suddenly had a fever after midnight, "Seiji said.
"Little Shi and I took Ling Yang to the hospital, and then we saw Editor Yoshizawa bringing Sensei over … Right now, both of them are receiving IV drips in the hospital, and their conditions have improved."
"… I see."
"Summer Night, do you know what happened at that time?"
"A powerful Spiritual Ability user or group cast a large-scale disruptive spell … that's our initial guess," Summer Night said in a low voice.
"This spell had an incredibly large area of effect, and affected the entire city! And the effect was quite extraordinary, as it pierced through all the barriers set up by all the factions in the city … at any rate, it was quite astonishing. "
"Just what kind of spell was it? Where did it come from? And most importantly: who did it? Currently, we don't know anything.
Everyone wants to know what exactly happened. All the factions in the city have already begun investigating, and all the elite investigators have begun taking action.
The Wanhua Family also just called for an emergency meeting, requesting any and all relevant information, even if it's only possibly relevant.
If anyone knows something but intentionally hides it and doesn't report it, it'll be treated as a cover-up, and they'll be punished severely if they're found out in the future. "
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"Ling Yang and Sensei were affected … that counts as relevant information?"
"Yes." Summer Night sighed.
"… What will happen if you report this?" Seiji spoke in a heavy tone.
"The worst result is that Ling Yang and Amami-san will be affected as well … I'll do my best to prevent such a thing from happening," Summer Night told him in a serious tone. "There's a technique to reporting as well. I won't mention the mysterious power. I'll simply say that they were accidental victims of the One Hundred Demons game. That shouldn't attract any attention. "
"Hmm …" Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"As for Ling Yang and Amami-san's treatment, if there's anything you need help with, let me know … I'm going to teach you a spell to communicate with them right now."
Seiji quietly listened to Natsuya's teachings.
After confirming that he understood, Summer Night ended the conversation.
Seiji returned to Saki's side.
"Just now, Wanhua Summer Night used a spell to contact me and told me some things," Seiji told the editor. "All of this was caused by a mysterious large-scale special spell. It's unknown who cast this spell. Many Spiritual Ability users are currently investigating the matter."
Something flashed in Saki's eyes.
Seiji took one last look at Mayuzumi, who was still lying on the hospital bed. He then indicated that he wanted to return to Ling Yang's side and left the room.
…
The spell that Summer Night taught him was called [Mystical Communication]. It wasn't difficult to use between a Spirit-branded Retainer and a master.
After trying for about an hour, Seiji succeeded in contacting Summer Night of his own volition.
"Did you report the situation?"
"Yeah, there wasn't any response. It seems that they treated it as unimportant information."
"That's good, then."
"How are Ling Yang and Amami-san doing?"
"Their conditions have improved slightly. At this rate, their fever should be gone by morning."
"That's good."
A moment of silence fell between them.
Then, both of them chuckled.
"Good night, Seiji."
"Good night, Summer Night."
They ended their conversation there.
Seiji checked his system at random because his dating sim system had just notified him that [Beginner-level Mystical Communication] had been added to his [Spiritual Abilities] option.
[Beginner-level Mystical Communication]'s function was to communicate with Spiritual Ability users. The specific method was to first place a mark on the other person's name, and then cast a spell to establish a connection when needed.
The spell's effective range was limited, and the further the distance, the more difficult it would be to cast, and the more Mana it would consume. Not only that, maintaining the mark would require the other person's Mana.
Obviously, this spell wasn't as convenient as a cell phone or walkie-talkie. It was only useful in special situations.
Seiji walked back to Ling Yang's hospital bed after he closed his system.
"Little Shi, go and sleep. I'll take care of her," he told his adopted younger sister.
Shika Kagura was about to respond when his expression suddenly changed.
Seiji noticed something as well and immediately cast [Astral Vision].
He saw a light green feather slowly falling from the sky.
"This is …" Seiji's gaze froze.
The feather gently landed by Little Ling Yang's cheek and silently disappeared.
He then saw a second, third, and fourth feather … numerous green feathers appeared one after another and gently floated down.
Seiji reflexively reached out and caught a feather that fell in front of him.
This feather was able to catch it, but he couldn't feel it at all. It instantly disappeared as if it were a bubble.
The beautiful green feather fluttered in the air as if it were a dream.
The little girl who was quietly sleeping seemed to be dreaming.
