At those words, the room immediately fell silent.
"Ahem, I know about this. The summoning has already taken place, but it will be some time before the Worm arrives. We'll make preparations when its arrival draws near."
Vanessa suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was somewhat surprised, but soon their expressions turned to understanding.
It was easy to imagine the reason behind Vanessa's evasive tone.
Summoning the Worm was probably the will of the Great Being.
And the Worm seemed connected to the end of the era.
The Great Being had instructed Maeve to summon the Worm, so surely He was playing a grand game, one that could change the era, or even the entire world.
And they were actually fortunate enough to take part...
They secretly exchanged excited looks.
"Roughly how long will it take? What preparations do we need to make?" Elsa asked.
Vanessa paused for a while, waiting for the Great Being's response.
...He did not respond.
So Vanessa's expression grew solemn. "There's no need to ask any more questions now. You'll know when the time comes."
The believers all nodded.
"All right, is there anything else?"
Everyone tacitly moved on from the subject.
"A believer named Warren has gone missing in the Factory District. He was very old and left a suicide note beforehand. We're currently investigating."
"With the recent increase in believers, quite a few have also lost control. My squad needs to recruit more people."
"There's still no trace of the Fog Whistle or the Holy Scripture."
"We also sent people to investigate the Ratway's old site. It hasn't appeared, but strange scratches have appeared on the walls. We suspect a monster has appeared in the sewers and request that a supernatural person accompany future investigations."
"I have something to report as well..."
"..."
