章 11: Strange Mist
Riya looked at the clock in her phone and saw that it was only 5 in the morning. But this was the first time she ever saw the entire world covered by the mist.
*cough* *cough*
Listening, she knew that the cough come from outside. It might be one of the other students who lived in this building and accidentally come out and inhaled the mist. After reaching Magic Rank 1, her senses had been enhanced, which allowed her to sense some things that she previously couldn't.
Riya put her hand on the window but didn't open it.
She perceived the mist through the mana and her eyes narrowed dangerously. The fluctuation of the mana in the mist was twice than the usual in this world. At the same time, she felt that there was something dangerous in the mist.
Not beasts or anything like that.
But breathing this mist would bring detrimental effect for them.
Wee! Woo! Wee! Woo!
Riya listened to the sound of ambulance and her delicate eyebrows furrowed even deeper. At this time, she was certain that there was someone who accidentally inhaled the mist and fell sick.
She wanted to warn them.
But what qualification did she have to say it?
She had no way to prove it either.
"Who's that? So noisy…" Amelia stirred from her bed. When she went back, she saw Riya sat on the bed with the book, so she guessed that Riya fell asleep after reading another novel. She didn't bother with Riya and instead went to sleep early.
Now that the siren outside woke her up, she didn't feel so good.
"There's ambulance outside," Riya replied. The mist was not so thick that they couldn't see anything. The outline of the ambulance could still be seen from this distance.
"Huh? Someone fell sick?" Amelia woke up and looked at the white mist and nearly shouted. "What the hell is that?"
"I don't know. Don't open the window."
"I won't." Amelia frowned and felt that the mist looked unkind. Even in the snowy day, there were usually no mist like this.
Besides, they were in the fourth floor.
"Let me check the internet." Riya took out her phone and checked the news. But when she saw the content, her heart sank.
There were more than thousands of call in the middle of the night, calling for ambulance or people crowding the hospital. It was said that they all suddenly fell sick, coughing non stop until they vomited blood.
It was scary.
But many people were shouting because this happened so suddenly.
No one was prepared for such a sudden 'attack.'
As Riya browsed the news, she was keenly aware that the news was not only from this city but also from other places. In short, the mist appeared all over the world and the hospital was crowded.
"This mist carry virus?" Amelia asked, her tone was hesitant but it was clear that she was scared. She must have also browsed the internet and caught news that there were a lot of people who were running to the hospital tonight.
"Perhaps. Let's not get out for the time being." Riya looked at the window and felt thankful that this building was new and the construction was good.
If the mist got inside when they were sleeping, it wouldn't be good.
She would be fine because she could meditate and the mana protected her, but Amelia might not be so lucky.
"How about food?" Amelia didn't have the habit of filing their fridge with food.
"I bought a lot of food yesterday. It might not be your favorite, though." Riya walked to the kitchen and moved several boxes of the food she bought yesterday inside along with some other ingredients such as meat, eggs, and also vegetables.
She could cook for herself but Amelia might need to suffer with the relatively poor taste.
Her craft was not very good.
"Oh right, you like to stay in the room a lot." Amelia felt relieved when she thought about this. She and Riya had rather contrasting personality, and this proved to be useful for this time.
At the very least, this meant that she would be able to live well without going out and stay with Riya.
"This meant that I don't need to practice again!" Amelia thought about this and clapped her hands happily.
Riya: "…" how in the world did you think to that direction so quickly?
