"Is everyone starting to calm down?"

Through the window, you can see that the people in the street have gradually settled down from the morbid frenzy they had been in before—perhaps because things have begun to improve?, in any case, it is true that the crowd has regained its calm after the previous period of palpitating oppression has passed......

"No, that's not 'calm' at all. Miss Hyogo Kita glanced out the window, her brows unconsciously furrowed, "The reason why they don't seem to make a fuss is not because they have regained their senses...... Rather, all their 'enthusiasm' and 'impulse' have dissipated. ”

Miss Hyogo Kita was extremely disgusted by this feeling.

Even in the past, when she was still living with negative thoughts, Miss Hyogo Kita would be dissatisfied with this state - when even the "impulse" is gone, people are almost like the walking dead without feelings, let alone the positive side, even negative emotions, can not be born.

For Miss Hyogo Kita, whether it was her in the past or her now, this is an extremely bad nature.

"You, what did you say!?"

"Did you feel the extreme pressure in your chest just now, as if something heavy was oppressing, right? At that time, a rather strong wave of nothingness erupted on this planet, and it is not surprising that it theoretically even swallowed half of the population of this world in an instant...... But because it was suppressed, it didn't cause such bad consequences. ”

Due to the path to the outer space, it was obscured by the barrier that Lin had set up earlier, and it was impossible to connect to the wider outer space. The power that the tide of nothingness can generate is naturally greatly reduced, but even so. It still has an extremely strong lethal power to ordinary people in this world - although people's bodies and souls are still intact, they still have strong feelings and impulses as human beings. But it was wiped out all at once.

There may be a few people who will survive, but it will not be able to prevent this from happening...... On the other hand, however, it also avoids the situation from deteriorating further – an attitude of inaction and confusion born of fear and despair, which cannot be denied.

"Then why are we okay?"

“...... I'm by your side, and if something happens to you, it will hit me hard......"

Miss Hyogo Kita didn't tell the truth at this time—in fact, without her, the couple wouldn't have suffered. Ultimately. This attack of the tide of nothingness is not a particularly targeted attack, and the affected human beings will naturally be hit by the loopholes and flaws in themselves. But what do these two people say...... It belongs to the type of self-consciousness that is excessive, the brain hole is particularly large, and the ability to accept is extremely strong, and it is prepared. Most of the time it is impossible to get hit.

Is this the gospel of secondary disease?

But the general secondary two disease, in a sense, is actually a very inferior character, and it is unlikely to resist in the face of oppression from the soul. After all, they are not mature enough to resist the pressure - after all, like this couple. There are very few strange people who are quite "young" at their age.

"So what are these people going to do? Are they still saved?"

"It's supposed to be saved, right?" said it. But in fact, Miss Hyogo Kita herself is not confident, "This kind of thing is grasped." It's not in my hands at all, so I can't guarantee it...... Hey, you two don't have any weird ideas! It's not something you can get involved in!"

Seeing the two people in front of her looking eager to try, Miss Hyogo Kita's face couldn't help but darken—if you change it to a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, why are these two "mature adults" who should have received the baptism of society so ignorant!? When it comes to the problem of the power of nothingness, even Miss Hyogo Kita herself feels that it is tricky, and these two ordinary human beings are not crazy, so they want to take the initiative to mix here?

"What if it really works?

-- If something bad happens, those two guys won't chase themselves to the ends of the earth! Anyway, Miss Hyogo Kita has made up her mind and absolutely disagrees with these two people's crazy ideas......

"After all, I don't have to take care of my children now, and I don't need to worry about many things anymore...... Well, after losing the burden of being called 'parents', I don't have to worry about the consequences of doing things, which will have a bad impact on the family, and I don't need to maintain the image of a reliable elder......"

“......”

Miss Hyogo Kita instantly realized that she seemed to have lost her reason to restrain them.

If their child is the couple's restraint, isn't it Miss Hyogo Kita's own person who unlocked the "seal"? Although this was not the time when Miss Hyogo Kita's Hyogo Kita of this world did it, she is the only one who has carried this pot.

"Is there anything the two of us can do?"

“...... Not for nothing. ”

It doesn't necessarily take them to take risks to help the situation – some actions may seem insignificant, but they can do more than risking their lives. Miss Hyogo Kita thought about it and realized that there was something suitable for these two to do.

"You can try to find the 'normal people' in the city who have not yet been affected. Because of the interference of the tide of nothingness, those dangerous guys have now become stuffy gourds, and the rest should be some good old people who are not aggressive and usually treat people peacefully...... Well, if you can, it's best to find and protect all the people who are still 'normal' in the vicinity. ”

Of course, in Hyogo's Kita's view, these people who have remained relatively normal at this time are obviously the "abnormal" type, right? At least, in the human environment, this harmless type is not social...... It's a very ironic thing.

After all, the mainstream of human society is in the face of this sudden catastrophe. It's completely defenseless.

"Is that all it takes?"

"Of course not, I want to resolve this crisis. How could it be possible to rely on such a small action to bend it? The most direct and effective way is naturally to break through the culprit that led to this disaster. However, it is not up to us to decide whether or not we will succeed in this area - so we have to do something useful that we can do at this time. Perhaps, because of this inconspicuous side, the slight advantage caused by the situation finally changed in the direction of the better?"

"Is that to increase the weight of success? But what is the purpose of looking for those who are still normal?"

"Because you are those who have been affected by the tide of nothingness, but are still able to maintain normalcy. In a sense, it can already be seen as an existence similar to the nature of an 'antibody'. I don't know exactly what our ultimate enemy is, but since it's plotting for the power of nothingness here, people with a certain degree of antibody nature can always make a difference, right? ”

Miss Hyogo Kita already had a vague premonition -- the evil body of resentment she had encountered before was not born under some "coincidence" at all! Behind that, there was clearly a hand. Quietly manipulating everything, being able to use the Void Monster as a pawn to gain the power of that taboo, really. In fact, Miss Hyogo Kita, if she can, she can hide as far as she wants.

......

In fact, I really stood in front of these people who were affected. Only then can I feel the kind of creepy depression more and more—really, I'm still a living person. There is no penetrating styling, but it can make people feel an inexplicable dead air.

It's the same as what Miss Hyogo Kita said. This is indeed a state similar to the "walking dead", all enthusiasm no longer exists, and the eyes of these people are filled with empty and blank gaze. Now, with a sharp knife, these people are brutally disemboweled, and they can also watch their bodies shatter indifferently, unresponsive to the process of their own death.

Although they are still alive, they are indifferent to their own lives, and even if they are dead, they may be better off than they are in - at least, they will still hope for life.

"What a depressing atmosphere!"

Surrounded by these people, I didn't feel any vitality at all, and the heat in the air seemed to be drained, even if the sunlight was still shining on the ground, it was completely unable to bring warmth. If you stay in this environment for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid that no matter how nervous people are, they will go crazy, right?

Of course, it's obviously much better than losing the rampant apocalypse, and you don't need to worry about being infected by zombie bites. Even the thugs who used to be so cruel have now become harmless to humans and animals, like a docile sheep...... In this atmosphere that can almost drive people crazy, it is not difficult to identify those who are still normal.

Look for people who have panic, fear, and uneasiness on their faces.

However, after searching the entire street, they were unable to find a single "survivor". The probability of surviving the disaster was even smaller than Miss Hyogo Kita's expectations, and even the eyes that led her to look at the couple became a little subtle.

"Strange, it stands to reason that the judgment of that covering attack is not so harsh, no matter how hard the humans in this world are, there will not be a trace of 'survivors' in the entire street, except for you......" Miss Hyogo Kita also felt quite strange, but she subconsciously had a bad premonition in her heart, "You two, don't leave my sight!"

Perhaps, there is some potential crisis waiting for the prey.

"Look, I found a pool of blood!"

When Miss Hyogo Kita heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the situation—when she saw the puddle of blood that was obviously still fresh in her sight, Miss Hyogo Kita knew that something was wrong.

"The shape of this bloodstain...... The blood was splattered on the ground at a small angle, that is, the attack that caused the death and wounding came from near the vertical direction - from the overhead, no, from the sky?"

Feeling a faint "sight", Miss Hyogo Kita subconsciously wanted to look up, but she quickly restrained the impulse in her heart.

――The whole land seems to be under the "watch" of some guy above!

"You two, don't look up just yet. Miss Hyogo Kita grabbed the couple from left to right and hurriedly walked them towards the nearest nearby building, "If you're not mistaken, in the open air, we are exposed to some kind of monitoring mechanism, so don't alarm each other's attention just yet." ”

Miss Hyogokita didn't know what the other party's methods were, but she could feel that she was only covered by a "line of sight", and it wasn't a targeted attention - in other words, they were just in a surveillance environment, and they hadn't caught the other's attention yet.

What key conditions must have been triggered to cause the change, right?

In any case, Miss Hyogo Kita first took the couple to hide in a nearby small supermarket - as soon as she entered the door, Miss Hyogo Kita noticed that the sight that fell on her was gone, and it was obvious that the other party's monitoring methods would not work in the indoor environment.

If it is not possible to investigate through the barrier of matter, it should not be an observation using mental power, and furthermore, if it is using spiritual power, it should also have relatively obvious personal characteristics. But what Miss Hyogo Kita felt was a rather stupid type similar to a "dead thing".

Probably based on some kind of apparatus, right? But can it completely cover the entire land?

"Do you know that there is something in the sky that can monitor the earth below?"

"Eh, do you mean Sputnik?"

"Sputnik?"

"Right...... A device launched into orbit by a launch vehicle, making a constant rotation around the Earth. Although there are several classifications, there are definitely satellites used to observe the ground. ”

"Can you cover all the regions all the time?"

"It should be possible, right? After all, the spy satellites on the Beacon Country's side seem to really cover the whole world, maybe some of them have been protected and camouflaged and cannot be observed, but the coverage should be covering the whole world......

I can't imagine that the human beings in this world still have such technological means!

But judging from the current rhythm, it seems that the crystallization of the wisdom of human civilization has been included in his own bag by a certain guy...... Fortunately, this monitoring method is still a bit rudimentary and inadequate - perhaps because it was a hastily activated method in the near future.......
