Chapter 72 The Beginning of the Mutation

Nowadays,

For the residents of the capital, it was another peaceful day.

The sun is fine,

Birds and flowers.

Even the air seemed to exude a fresh feeling.

The scene where everything is full of vitality is right in front of you.

This day, logically speaking, is another day that will not change.

Thus the sun rises and sets, and at last turns to darkness, leaving night to the wandering prodigal son.

However, soon, this unchanging state was broken.

in the business district,
inside the cafe,
Through the large glass windows, people drinking coffee inadvertently looked up at the sky.

Then, his expression froze for a moment.

The mutation just happened now when no one expected it.

"This, what is this?"

The man looked at the sky, his mouth grew wide.

His pupils were full of disbelief, and he was full of doubts about what he saw.

In his heart, he even wondered if he didn't sleep well last night, so he had hallucinations.

After all, last night, he didn't sleep for an hour until the sun came out.

Then after waking up, there are piles of work waiting again.

Under such circumstances, lack of sleep is also understandable.

just,

This is not an illusion.

Everything that the man's eyes witnessed was actually happening.

Because not only him, other people saw his strange appearance and followed his gaze to the sky.

Then—they grew their mouths together.

Dang!

The sound of the coffee cup falling on the ground echoed throughout the silent cafe, making it extremely noisy.

But at this moment, no one cared about it anymore, they all stared blankly at the sky.

"What the hell is this!?"

Someone couldn't help shouting.

The reality they see with their eyes is so horrifying.

……

But outside of the cafe, more people noticed the mutation.

The pedestrians on the road stopped, and the women in professional OL uniforms also stopped.

They collectively looked up at the sky blankly, forgetting what they were going to do next.

Just, staring blankly, for a moment, it seemed that even his own will was interrupted.

It wasn't until about 2 minutes later that someone reacted.

"There's a hole in the sky..."

Someone stood in the crowd and murmured.

His voice also woke up others around him.

Immediately, the street became extremely noisy.

All kinds of voices kept ringing, and everyone fell into an unprecedented panic.

This,
It is a mutation.

Since the founding of the empire, there has never been a change that has occurred.

Under everyone's gaze, above the sky, where the white clouds were originally floating freely, a dark hole suddenly appeared there, as if it was a black hole outside the empire, attracting all people's attention.

[Alarm alert! 】

[An unknown mutation has occurred, please return to your residence immediately, and do not go out unless necessary. 】

The broadcast robot responsible for conveying the empire's information shuttled through the streets and alleys, constantly reporting the empire's orders.

It's just that in this chaotic situation, no one paid any attention to the words of the robot.

In addition to panic, there is also chaos caused by panic.

"Ah, who's touching me!"

"My wallet is missing!"

"Asshole, is that bastard pulling my belt?"

Among the crowd, exclamations came out one after another.

Civilians have never had experience in dealing with such situations.

Completely out of control, it's only a matter of time.

The only way to keep this situation under control is for the Empire to act with lightning speed and let the army suppress it and smooth the chaos of the hearts of the people.

However, at this time the empire was already overwhelmed.

They are as frightened by the black hole in the sky as people, and even far more than they are.

After all, this is a mutation that escaped all the intelligence networks and monitoring agencies of the empire, and appeared in the sky without any warning.

This is a mutation beyond the understanding of the empire!

In order to deal with this change, all the research institutes in the entire empire are now busy.

"A mutation?"

In the palace, in the gorgeous room, Nuoya looked up at the black hole outside the window, and pursed her lips lightly.

"Hopefully, this won't have any effect on our plans."

"Under such circumstances, people's hearts fluctuate, and some unforeseen changes may occur."

Noah gently tapped her fingers on the window sill.

A white pigeon spread its wings and flew past her window, leaving a note that fluttered to the window.

"Arno's letter..."

Nuoya frowned, and glanced over the thin paper.

Then, she felt a little more relaxed and stopped thinking about other things.

There are only two words written on the paper.

[Don't worry. 】

These two words carried magical power, which made Nuoya extremely at ease.

"Is this situation in your expectation?"

Noah felt a little curious.

"In the end, what is your origin?"

The surprise that the skeleton that was almost stewed by herself at this moment was far beyond her imagination.

"Since you said so."

"Then, I'll look forward to it for a while."

Noah smiled slightly and closed the curtains.

It's noon, it's time to sleep.

But when Noah closed his eyes, the Empire Roundtable was discussing enthusiastically.

"Bastard! Are all the intelligence agencies just doing nothing? Didn't you notice this important situation at all?"

A nobleman with no real power stood up and shouted loudly.

Others looked at this nobleman with the eyes of a dead man.

Who doesn't know that the intelligence department of the capital has been completely controlled by the queen at this time?

As a nobleman of the old school, it is extremely stupid for him to fire at the intelligence department at this time.

"You be a little quieter."

"The intelligence department is now leaderless, and it is understandable that they cannot get this kind of information."

An old man with a gray beard stood up and stopped the nobleman, and turned to look at another person across the round table.

"It's better to say that the defense department doesn't have any precautions at this time, so it's strange?"

"Shouldn't everything in the capital be under your control?"

"Why is it unique that you didn't take any action about this time?"

The person the old man accused was the leader of the Imperial Defense Organization.

This is a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a weak expression, not at all like the real leader of a department that holds the power to fight.

Compared with him, the old man looked more energetic, and he was not full of vitality like this age.

"Don't say it's our fault, okay?"

"The responsibility for air security should be with the army, and we are only responsible for the ground forces."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the other group of people on the other side of the round table.

From the very beginning, this group of people kept their eyes closed and did not participate in the quarrel between the reformers and the conservatives.
