Similarly, it wasn't just the staff here who noticed something was amiss.
Everyone mingling freely in the hall had also discovered a problem—nobody's cell phones had any signal, not a single message could be sent out!
Forget about sending messages, making phone calls was impossible, too; there simply was no signal on the phones!
This was all thanks to the jammer Tiana Williams had set up; it effectively blocked all signals in the area, cutting off all means of transmitting information, and its coverage was extensive.
This kind of high-tech interference isn't uncommon, but it requires someone with considerable ability to achieve such a large-scale signal blackout.
People in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, initially thinking it was because they were out at sea, and perhaps the strong waves outside were affecting the signal...
However, this was just what everyone assumed. Up on the third floor, Colin McDonald, Billy Kingston, and others definitely didn't think so!
