After a while, Dai and Lingyang, who felt sleepy, continued to sleep.

Harusa paid attention to the observation, but the vision did not reappear.

The bad premonition was disappointed, and he was happy.

"Maybe it's really just overthinking. Muttered.

……

With the efforts of a large number of stakeholders, especially maintenance personnel, the communication network was gradually restored.

The police station received many calls, hospital ambulances were dispatched, and the fire brigade rushed to the scene of the fire......

On the other hand, news and reports related to the incident have appeared on the Internet, and the topic has risen rapidly.

On the occasion of the New Year, electricity and communications in the capital city of the country were paralyzed at the same time...... This kind of thing is not just the headline level on the front page of Sakurajima, but even world-class news!

The official position of this matter is very clear: terrorist attack!

The perpetrator of the crime is unknown, the motive is unknown, the purpose is unknown, and the means are unknown...... The investigation is ongoing.

There were not many official speeches, and the comments from netizens were very lively. In the theme section of the most famous large-scale forum "Channel 22", from speculating about the identity and motives of the perpetrators to what methods they used to do it, all parties discussed and even debated.

It's still early in the morning, and if it's dawn, the topic will explode.

Just as the focus was on the perpetrators, someone posted a post rejoicing that they were finally able to access the Internet, and then conclusively said that they had seen something horrible during the power outage.

"It's a monster!That's definitely a drunken boy!Not a cosplay!!I dare to swear by lying and being a virgin for the rest of my life, it's absolutely the real thing!!I almost got killed!!"

The post also included an image, but it was only a vague red figure, and it was incomplete, barely recognizable as a young man.

"The photos are blurry, but that's the only ...... I was scared to run for my life...... I was able to call the police immediately after talking on the phone, but I was ignored. ”

"I know it's a lie, and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it myself, but I've experienced it, and I swear it's true!

The tone of the post at the beginning was fine, but there was some hysteria at the end of the conversation, and there was intense emotion between the lines.

Netizens who have seen all kinds of strange things on the Internet will not easily believe the absurd statement, and naturally regard this post as a sensationalizing thing.

"Monsters, still drinking and swallowing boys? Deceiving people should at least use interesting materials, saying this kind of old-fashioned thing, it doesn't feel scary at all. ”

"Agree with the upstairs, but if the landlord wants to make people complain like this, then you have to admit that he succeeded. ”

"Compared to wine swallowing, I want to see Yuzao before, landlord, you go to the street again, I don't know if I can meet it." ”

"+1 in front of Tamamo. ”

No one believed.

However, a similar post followed, and the poster claimed to have encountered a dog monster, and a friend who was traveling with him was bitten and seriously injured!

"That dog looks terrifying! It doesn't look like a living creature at all, it's a bit like the zombie dog in the game, but it feels like a monster......"

"My friend saw the same as me, the two of us had never seen a dog like this before, neither in anime nor in a game!

"It was too sudden to take pictures...... Who would have thought of taking pictures!? When you encounter something like this, you can only think of running away!!"

"My friend's left hand was bitten off by it...... I was really bitten off......"

There are no pictures in this post, but the horror in the text is surprisingly real.

There are more and more similar posts.

Ran into a female ghost, saw a strange bird, saw a dead person, heard a strange sound, and bumped into something invisible...... Someone just saw, someone encountered, someone was injured, someone saw someone else killed......

After these posts were so numerous that they finally shook some people.

Isn't that true?

The vast majority of netizens still don't believe it, but the attitude of a few people has changed from "disdain" to "suspicion" at the beginning.

At this time, there were statements that accused these "monster stickers" of being a group with ulterior motives creating rumors, claiming that these people were actually in a gang and wanted to achieve ulterior motives by creating topics and spreading rumors! They may even have something to do with terrorists.

Many netizens believe this statement and despise the "monster sticker" even more.

Some of the landlords of the "monster sticker" were silent, and some continued to speak, trying to prove their innocence, and posing with others to the end.

More "monster posts" appeared one after another, and posts of rebuttal also appeared one after another.

Then there was a "psychic sticker" who claimed to have seen not only a vicious youkai, but also an uncle who fought it with charms and spells.

Humanoids with strange appearances are seen capturing human beings in "alien stickers".

See several masked men dressed in ninja costumes of different colors teaming up to besiege the giant monster in the "Ninja Sticker".

See a beautiful girl in a black dress holding a crystal staff to deal with a large group of female ghosts' "magical girl stickers".

All sorts of posts continue to pop up, and the topic section is gradually drowning in the monster flurry.

Which are lies, which are jokes, and which are true...... Who can tell?

The way to bury the truth, in addition to completely eliminating it, is to obscure it, cover it up with a lot of similar false information, or distract people's attention......

After discovering that his phone had a signal, Hariji browsed the Internet and also boarded the theme section of Channel 22, noticing posts such as "Yokai Stickers".

He couldn't tell which one was true, but he was sure that there was truth in it.

"Hyakki Night Walk...... Is it?"

It is not only demons and monsters that appear, but also various other strange characters and things...... Or should it be called an anomalous creature in the O directory?

The negative premonition was finally fulfilled. Harusa's eyes flickered.

What are the casualties in the entire city?Will the ghosts that appear be harmful, or will they disappear after one night, or will they last forever?Is the method of zero not to promote the appearance of new spirit powers, but to let ordinary people know about the existence of anomalous realms?

Compared to the night walk of the hundred ghosts, the vision of the teacher and Lingyang doesn't seem to be nothing, maybe you can talk to Xia Ye?

After thinking about it again, he decided to take another look at the situation.

Then, log in to the Knights chat group.

Only Chihisa was in it.

"Kiyogo, are you alright?" he immediately sent a private message.

"I'm fine, but I can't say I'm completely fine...... What about you?"

"I'm fine, but some people in the group have had strange things happen and are injured and go to the hospital. ”

The text is bland, but Harusa can feel the seriousness of the other party.

Now he is not facing the otaku Tomohisa, but the son of the leader of the underworld, Tomohisa.

"Seriously?"

"There is one that is very serious, and it is not out of danger right now. ”

“…… What did he encounter?"

"Tengu. ”
