The ethereal voices were growing heavier, like stones slowly pressing downward, both large and small, continuously rolling.
Igor looked left and right. He really wanted to understand what was happening, what was causing these voices to become so heavy.
But he found nothing.
In theory, the number of these "swimming fish" shouldn't increase further. Igor had withdrawn the Fishing Boat Array long ago, and Stan Sol's seabirds had also ceased their activities. So why were these voices growing heavier? Could it be that the number of people had increased again?
Igor took a rough look and found that wasn't the case. The dense crowd hadn't become intolerably congested; they were still distributed around as before. While it was crowded, it wasn't to the point of being overpopulated. So, Igor roughly judged that their numbers hadn't increased much.
