177 Chapter 169 - Unexpected Situation. (1/2)

In that weird circumstances, Sky regained his consciousness. The moment he opened his eyes, he is greeted by Ben who looks a bit fatigued.

”You awake? How do you feel right now? Can you feel all of your body parts?” Ben asked and Sky is a bit confused with Ben's questions.

”How about trying to move your torsos.” Ben asked again.

Sky did as he instructed, and it seems like everything is alright, which relieved the doctor.

”It seems like the operation went well, that's really a relief.” said Ben.

Then, Sky turned to Chris who is not far from him, only to found that he is currently sniffing a big cat plushie while playing games on a portable console.

”Don't worry, he is alright.” said Ben, Sky nodded. Suddenly, Sky received a *special video call from Itsuki.

*In Kapis Dimension, there is no such thing as radio waves, cell towers, or and anything related to that, so they are using a special device that can connect them to the network that enables them to do video calls despite in different dimensions.

”Sorry to bother you, but we are having some issues here.” said Itsuki.

”Anything wrong?” Sky is a bit confused, and the video call had drawn the attention of the other two.

”Have a look.” said Itsuki before turning the camera to the other side.

Seito and Bob are doing some prayers with the other residents around the dining table, both of them looks so lifeless, as if they are losing their control and domination towards their own body.

”What happened to them?” Sky asked.

”I don't know, we were summoned by the high priest a moment ago and they start acting weird not long after we reached the cathedral.” said Itsuki.

”You were summoned by the high priest?” Chris asked after he found out it's related to Dominic.

”Yes.”

Then Itsuki explained everything to them, including how they were confronted by Dan, Dominic's personal assistant. Chris frowned and starts analyzing the situations in his mind.

”Could it be the incense?” said Chris after a short thought.

”Maybe we should get back to the homestay and have a look at them?” Ben suggested.

”I agree with Ben.” said Sky, Chris nodded in agreement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A while later, they went back to the homestay, Seito and Bob are about to join the other residents in another cleansing ceremony that included some 'mysterious' rituals that required a person to stay underwater for a whole five minutes, fortunately Chris stopped them with paralyzing magic and dragged them back into their room without getting noticed by the caretaker.

Ben pricked Seito's fingertip a bit and touch the blood that oozes out from the tiny cut.

”Hmm... He didn't light up the incense burner that day, so it must be the incense.” said Chris.

”But Junior and I were with them that time, why are we not affected?” Itsuki asked, a bit curious and confused.

”Probably it's because of the special genes of you two, that incense might be only working on normal human.” said Ben.

”What should we do now? We can't just let them stay in this condition?” Itsuki asked, a bit worried, same for Junior.

”Let them try the capsules I gave you that day, I'll try to look for another cure if that doesn't work.” said Ben.
