Chapter 47: Overwhelming Popularity
Just as Mika was thinking to himself how utterly stupid it had been to bring the dagger back in the first place, his mind already racing about how to quietly dispose of the evidence without leaving even a trace, Charlotte’s voice suddenly broke through his thoughts.
"Uh...guys?"
She said, her tone slightly baffled, like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She was peering out the window, leaning forward with a frown.
"I don’t think we’ll be able to leave the hospital through the front entrance."
Mika blinked, his head snapping up.
"Huh? Why not?" He asked, turning to her with a puzzled look. "What’s going on out there?"
Charlotte gave him a small, wry smile, shaking her head in disbelief as she raised her hand to point down toward the street outside.
"Don’t take my word for it. Look for yourself and you’ll understand."
Mika and Yelena exchanged confused glances before Mika got off the bed. Yelena also stepped forward, joining Charlotte at the window as Mika sauntered over.
When the three of them finally peered down through the glass, they froze.
The scene below was utterly surreal.
What had once been an empty street in front of the hospital was now utterly packed, an enormous crowd of people swarming together so tightly that from above, they almost looked like a colony of ants converging on a dropped crumb.
