The fourth piece of news was truly good news.
In the central part of the Main Affinity Continent, the Ghoul plague had been contained back to its point of origin in Sicken Town, where local Exorcists were searching for the source of contamination. It was expected that the plague would be eradicated soon.
This tangible, touchable strange plague was much easier to deal with than the elusive and mysterious strangeness.
The fifth piece of news had nothing to do with strangeness: The rapid influx of people fleeing to the cities had caused the population of several cities on the Main Affinity Continent to surge past one million. Investigators urged the public not to gather excessively as it could not only attract the attention of strangeness but also bring about unforeseen disasters, such as plague.
Moreover, compared to strangeness, the shortage of resources like food and water would kill them sooner.
