The incident occurred just as Sora took out what appeared to be some kind of protective object.
Anyone who isn't blind can clearly see the wavy, dim light.
Lovett stood there unharmed, staring blankly at his hands, then at Sora, who had cracked the tiles on the wall in front of him.
Then he realized that his "lifeline" was still leaning against the wall, its fate unknown.
He hurriedly stepped over the table and sofa and ran to Sora's side.
"Sora, are you alright! Sora! Are you alright? Wake up!"
Seeing that the other party did not react, Lovett nervously checked Ra's breathing with his hand.
They discovered that he was still breathing.
He breathed a sigh of relief and began to shake Sora's body vigorously.
"Wake up, Mr. Sora!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, first aid measures, CPR!"
Lovett, whose medical knowledge is questionable, simply laid Sora flat on the ground and then roughly performed "heart compressions" on her, mimicking what he saw in movies.
The colorful coral polyp hidden in Saraso's chest quickly and quietly scurried away to another place.
After Lovett tried for several dozen seconds without success, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to use artificial respiration.
"Smack..."
A hand pressed down on Lovett's approaching face, blocking his mouth from which rice grains were stuck between his teeth.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Sora sat up, feeling somewhat weak.
"Lovitt Gerald, I have to... I have to tell you, CPR is only used after cardiac arrest, and artificial respiration is only used when a person isn't breathing... This isn't saving a life, it's murder!"
Lovett was both embarrassed and delighted.
"You're alright? That's great!"
He quickly helped Sola up.
"Where's the necklace? Where's the necklace from before?"
Lovett hurriedly helped Sora search as well.
"There it is!"
Lovett pointed to the ground not far away.
"Oh no, this is holy silver! This can't be!"
Sora exclaimed in surprise.
The necklace on the ground had changed from silver to half silver and half black. Although the black part was slowly fading, it was also unusually stubborn.
"This chain was definitely silver just now! What's going on, Sora? Does this mean that great demon...?"
Lovett was, after all, a scientist, with a high IQ and strong logical reasoning ability.
Although the changes had occurred quickly, Sora hadn't explained them clearly, and some things he'd only heard about over the phone.
But we already know a lot of things, like this necklace.
It's obviously some kind of amulet or talisman, but judging from the color of the necklace at this moment, even a fool would know that this amulet can't suppress evil.
“You’re not entirely stupid. The situation is more serious than I estimated. I need to contact the higher-ups immediately; one knight squad is simply not enough!”
Sora took out her phone and dialed a number, but all she heard was a busy signal.
"Did you just break it? Lovett, give me your phone!"
"Okay, sure."
Sora took the phone from the bewildered Lovett and quickly dialed a number.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
It was still a busy tone, without even a message like "The number you dialed cannot be connected".
Sora angrily threw the phone back at Lovett.
"It's broken too. Where's your landline?"
Lovett was terrified of upsetting Sora, but he had no choice but to answer cautiously.
"I...I don't have a landline at home!"
"Oh shit! Why the hell didn't you install a landline at home?!"
"But... nowadays, many people don't pretend anymore..."
Lovett saw that Sora's veins were bulging on his face, and he felt that Sora might hit him at any moment.
"Knock knock knock~~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Gerrard, Mr. Gerrard, this is the apartment manager. Someone complained that you made a loud noise just now, so I came up to check on the situation!"
Sora mouthed a few words and whispered, "Find an excuse to send him away. Wait, let me borrow his phone."
Lovett nodded and called towards the door.
"I'm here, Mr. Doyle. A cabinet in the room just fell over."
As he spoke, Lovett quickly ran to the door and opened it halfway, but he stood there without letting the administrator in.
"Oh, is the person alright? Do they need any help?"
Administrator Doyle peered inside but couldn't see anything.
"No need, no need, my friend is here, we'll handle it. Oh, by the way, Mr. Doyle, our cell phones have no signal, we can't make calls. Could you lend me your phone to make a call?"
Doyle looked inside again and, sure enough, saw the handsome man he had seen downstairs earlier walking over.
However, the man's suit and shirt looked somewhat disheveled, and his hair was covered in sweat.
This made Doyle a little uneasy; it seemed Mr. Gerald didn't have a girlfriend.
"Mr. Doyle, Mr. Doyle, is that alright?"
"Huh? Oh! Making a phone call? Sure, sure, use mine, look, full signal."
The apartment manager, realizing what was happening, hurriedly handed Lovett the phone from his pocket, but Lovett immediately gave it to the man.
"Beep beep beep beep..."
The phone was dialed quickly.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The voice on the phone was the same as the voice on the two other phones.
But at this moment, Sora was no longer furious. Lovett and the apartment manager both saw that Sora's knuckles were white from gripping her phone so tightly.
Lovett, who also heard the busy signal, felt a jolt of fear.
As the person directly involved, he understood the seriousness of the matter better than the administrator.
Since even the administrator's phone is unreachable, their phones couldn't have been damaged by that previous incident.
Lovett had a very bad feeling about him, and sweat began to bead on his back.
"Are you alright, sir? You couldn't get through on the phone?"
Sora seemed to remember something and returned the phone to the administrator.
"Mr. Doyle, is there a landline downstairs? The kind with a telephone line!"
"Of course, you want to make a phone call?"
While answering Sora's question, the administrator randomly dialed a number on his phone, but all he got was that same noise.
"Looks like we'll have to call the phone company to take a look."
"Let's go, let's go down quickly!"
Urged on by Sora and Lovett, the manager jogged into the elevator with them.
Inside the elevator, the manager noticed that the two were breathing heavily and sweating slightly, which made him a little uneasy.
Could there be something wrong with these two?
The elevator display showed that it had only reached the 6th floor.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~"
A series of electrical hissing sounds appeared, and the lights in the elevator began to flicker on and off.
"Damn it! It's too late!"
"Bang!"
Sora punched the elevator wall hard.
Lovett looked around in a panic, swallowing hard.
The administrator quickly pressed all the buttons for the remaining floors one through five.
