Chapter 79

"What's going on?"

"I-It's an emergency! Sarah is... Sarah's...!"

Thud!

The moment 'Sarah' came out of the old man's mouth, Karen kicked open the door.

"What's going on, old man?"

"Sarah went out at night, and... I think she ran into a Fog Ghost!"

"A Fog... Ghost?"

"F-For now, just go to where Sarah is. Hurry!"

Though Seol was happy that he found a clue to progress the Adventure, he thought it was unfortunate that it had come from Sarah.

'Karen would be shocked if something happened to Sarah.'

Currently, Karen has been adjusting to her new life.

Seol simply hoped that this wouldn't lead her to thinking negatively about her future as a shadow.

"Gasp... Gasp..."

Seol and Karen followed the man.

Karen, the first to arrive, stood still, simply watching.

"Sarah?"

"Big... Sis..."

Sarah was laying on a bed and it seemed like nothing was wrong with her. However, that only made Seol and Karen worry more.

"...What?"

"Don't... run into them... please..."

"Sarah!"

It was a bolt out of the blue.

"...Are you sure?"

"I'm not 100% confident since Dr. Gunt isn't here, but I'm pretty sure. It's exactly like what the early symptoms of Fog Disease looked like before."

And unfortunately, there currently isn't a cure for Fog Disease.

"Damn it..."

Seol knew neither the cause nor reason.

It wasn't an infectious disease, but it was still a terrifying disease that managed to infect half of the town's population.

And Sarah had been infected by it.

"Monsters in the fog? What was she talking about?"

"Well... there were a few people who claimed to have seen something in the fog on the days it was thicker. No one ever had a proper look at them, but they were clearly not normal."

"And Sarah saw them?"

"Since she said she did... Also, this is something that's a pity, but people who saw the Fog Ghosts near the town have all..."
