Gayoon was trying to reach Mina over the phone for hours but it was not connecting. Junho and Shinjin were sitting on the couch, worried about both Mina and Kanji.
"Did you reach through?" Junho asked.
"No," she replied. "Her phone is switched off!"
Junho cursed out loud. Minho was unavailable too but he had told them he was going back to Gayoon's school to talk to the soul he had encountered in his trip to the World of the Dead. He had been out all night and they could not even tell him that Mina and Kanji were missing.
"Do you think that Anyal might have struck?" Shinjin asked.
"That's possible," Gayoon said. "There's just one day left for the ritual. It'd be odd if he didn't strike yet. We've put Jina under so much protection that I'm sure he's now resorting to this…"
"But we've given amulets to Mina as well," Junho pointed out. "He shouldn't be able to touch her!"
