Day 22: Devil
"Ah, speak of the devil!" Gallastus spoke. Shen Qingqiu turned his head towards the young Warpa.
"Hm?"
"Do you remember the last time we had a blackout? The technician who managed the electricity said that back then someone took care of the cables and inlets that the electricity distributed to our neighbourhood had improvised, seems like this person is good at this problem!"
Shen Qingqiu closed the book he's been reading to turned his attention to Gallastus who had done scrolling his phone.Gallastus put his phone on his pocket "I believe we would have to be grateful as we don't know if any blackouts would happen in the future," he went to the cabinet and took out his wallet to check the inside "We need to buy another candles to be safe!"
Shen Qingqiu responded with a smile and pulled his phone out as well to check the news. Surprisingly, another recent news was confusing for both of them.
Gallastus read the words carefully.
"Okay this is awkward..." Gallastus blurted out.
"What do they mean that the one who fixed the cables wasn't registered as the inner worker?" Shen Qingqiu asked.
Gallastus accessed another source and saw that the electricity workers mentioned a mysterious figure who appeared in silhouette and entered the restricted area around half an hour after the massive blackout.
Some Warpas speculated to be some sort of devil. Shen Qingqiu shuddered, what if the said person is a devil? Who could enter a restricted area unnoticed and fix a complex problem in a short time?
The news went wilder as the factory had revealed the mysterious figure.
The figure looked like a broad man wearing a long hoodie that covered most of his face sparing his long six horns. Because of the lack of colour in the security camera and blurry image, it's difficult to see what the war paint colour is.
The man turned his gaze over the camera, under limited lightning inside, his pure black skin with intricate markings was shown vaguely as he turned his gaze back and proceeded to the core.
The intricate markings aren't a stranger for Shen Qingqiu.
As those are the same pattern as the mask he possessed.
