Kanna Kisaragi showed no trace of Supernatural Power now. Like most people outside, she seemed perfectly ordinary.

Strictly speaking, however, there was something about her that connected her to Supernatural Power—a certain artificially defined attribute.

From what had happened during the previous mission, he knew that the Kamakura family, including Kamakura Shinji, knew about the Infamy Law game, but that was all. They had never tried to find out for themselves how deep they were.

Yet Warehouse had validated his theory about why the severed divine seal had gone out of control. That meant that even mere spectators couldn't avoid being "polluted" by the concept.

And so far, there was no sign that this pollution affected only the supernatural.

In fact, judging by the nature of the whole incident, ordinary people seemed to be the targets.

Could the strange change Chie Kisaragi sensed have been because, sometime before midnight yesterday, this meaningless attribute, created purely for entertainment, had suddenly gained meaning?

Had Chie therefore gained the power to persuade her younger sister, while something more subtle had happened to Kanna, directly elevating her to the supernatural?

If so, that raised a very serious problem. With An Jing Shizhi appearing as a guest, only a tiny fraction of Leaf Island's population could have been unaware of the show. In other words, the number of people affected by the conceptual pollution was sure to be substantial.

"Mr. Dancy, are you saying that Kanna had already changed by then, but simply hadn't realized it herself?"

As she thought it over, Chie had grown accustomed to this way of communicating and quickly asked her next question.

Sigh!

The question made Fu Qian heave an inward sigh.

It wasn't surprising that Chie had thought of this, and it was perfectly understandable that she hadn't noticed
