"Is anyone there?" Lina shouted into the empty City Hall, but the only response was a faint echo. The six of them had been standing at the entrance for a few minutes, but they had not encountered a single person.
"Even during a heavy rain, when everyone gets the day off to go home, a place as crucial as the City Hall should still have someone on duty," Catherine said, puzzled. "In any normal city, the City Hall should never be completely unstaffed; otherwise, what would happen if there were an emergency? Though Felic mentioned that everyone had gone home, I never imagined that it would really be completely empty. This must be the work of a manager deliberately sending all the duty staff away."
"It must be an order from Master Filarx," Freya took a step and waddled into the hall, "It seems he had already anticipated that Pannis would find out, so he temporarily dispersed all unrelated personnel to avoid any influence."
