Meanwhile, Secret Investigation Department officers scattered throughout the city had also made some progress.
The Sealers and Retired Investigators led by Balats were the fastest. They had already pushed deep into the residential area of Yidrisu District, killing dozens of rioters who were taking advantage of the chaos and, while they were at it, clearing out the aberrations that had been corrupted by the dark clouds.
"Balats, will Director Nifa be alright there by herself?"
"Hmm?"
"I just feel like the situation over at the Cathedral isn't good…" a long-retired Investigator said, looking with a grave expression at the black lightning above the Cathedral.
Balats glanced over, then turned and continued to advance deeper into Yidrisu District. "Keep pushing," he said in a hoarse voice. "We must eliminate all aberrations before dawn."
"All teams, be advised: if you find a level-two aberration, signal immediately. I'll go take care of it!"
"Yes!"
