"What's going on?"
The staff member in full protective gear looked up at the flickering lights overhead.
"There's probably something wrong with the power supply system above," the staff member beside him said quickly after glancing up at the lights. "Don't worry. The containment area below has backup power. It'll be fixed soon."
As he spoke, the flickering lights stabilized and stopped flashing.
"That's good," the fully protected staff member said with a slight nod. Then he suddenly realized something and looked at the metal wall in front of him. "No, the Curse Key."
"Don't worry. The core containment areas all have independent power supplies, and in Area C, every item has its own separate power supply," the staff member beside him said with a smile. "There won't be any problem with the Curse Key."
He raised a hand and pointed at the nearby light. "Look, isn't the Curse Key still—"
His words froze.
The light that had originally been green had somehow turned red.
"Maybe there's a problem with the equipment," the fully armed staff member beside him said, raising a hand to grip the handle of the observation window on the metal wall. "We'll know if we see it ourselves."
"Are you crazy?" The staff member beside him immediately looked up and grabbed his colleague's hand. "The Curse Key randomly selects its cursed targets, and anyone who has seen it becomes a priority target for attack. If you go look at it directly, aren't you courting death?"
He turned around and picked up the emergency phone beside him. "We need to report this to the boss and have them come down to take a look. It's very likely an equipment issue. Only they can handle a Sealed Item of this level."
"There's no time to follow procedure now."
