"Open System!" When the monster spoke these words loudly, Philip flinched slightly but quickly regained control of his expression.
Sensing that no one had noticed his unusual reaction, he looked around to see if anyone else had reacted similarly.
"Do you notice anyone here who reacted strangely?" Philip silently inquired of Doug. He wanted to know if there were other soulless players present besides the monster.
Doug was taken aback by the question and asked, "Is there a particular reason for that? My vision is the same as yours, so if you didn't notice anything, I wouldn't have seen it either..."
Philip agreed, realizing that Doug's response meant he hadn't heard the activation words for the system.
One of the fairies suggested, "Since it has come to this, then we should evacuate."
