Data Erosion

After a brief respite, Jeremy and his companions ventured directly into Mechanical Town.

The moment they entered, Jeremy received an immediate alert from the Eye of Omniscience.

[Note: Host is currently subjected to data erosion. Please vacate the data erosion zone promptly.]

The alert from the Eye of Omniscience caused Jeremy to feel slightly panicked.

Jeremy did not perceive that he was being subjected to Data Erosion, yet he knew that the Eye of Omniscience had never been wrong before.

This meant that Data Erosion was something Jeremy could neither detect nor defend against.

With this realization, Jeremy whispered to the three people behind him.

"From now on, I will increase my pace." Jeremy declared, his tone carrying an air of urgency. "You must keep up. If your speed is too slow and you fall behind, I might not come back to rescue you."

With those words hanging in the air, Jeremy promptly quickened his steps.
