As Ethan exited their apartment, he took the precaution of tying a handkerchief around their face, covering half of it.
Ethan remained skeptical about venturing out without concealing their face entirely. The threat of being sighted by the shadow's men and the potential dangers they posed still weighed heavily on Ethan's mind.
Suddenly, Ethan's hunter's watch alarm rang out, grabbing his attention.
Ethan glanced down at the device, as he read the message displayed on its screen.
_THE NORTHERN, SOUTHERN, AND WESTERN GATES ARE UNDER A BEAST ATTACK. ALL HUNTERS SHOULD REPORT TO THEIR NEAREST GATE.
_ALL HUNTERS OUTSIDE THE SHELTER MUST CEASE THEIR ACTIVITIES AND RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO DEFEND THE SHELTER.
_RISK LEVEL: 4.
_BEAST TYPE: UNKNOWN.
Ethan stared at the watch, feeling a mix of apprehension and resignation.
He had suspected that the danger level would be significant, at least rating 3 and a half stars.
