Felicia naturally had no objections.
As the group was making their way down the mountain, they passed by the same bomb shelter they had visited earlier. Felicia hadn't planned to go back inside since the people had already been rescued. It was best to leave as soon as possible.
But at that moment, Felicia heard the familiar sound of a bronze bell.
Upon hearing the sound of the bronze bell, fear washed over her, almost triggering a fight-or-flight response. She immediately turned her head to look around cautiously while grabbing Scarlet's wrist and tossing her a bundle of rope.
Scarlet froze for a moment but quickly reacted, shouting to the others, "Where's that bell sound coming from? Does anyone have a bell on them?"
Just as she finished speaking, one of Michael's subordinates patted his backpack and said in confusion, "I have one in my bag. Why?"
Felicia and Scarlet exchanged a glance.
Perhaps noticing the change in Felicia's expression, the entire group stopped. Even Michael noticed and took the bell from his subordinate's bag, asking, "Is something wrong?"
Upon seeing the bell, Felicia's mind buzzed as if a clue had suddenly clicked into place. She stepped forward, took the bell, and examined it carefully.
Finally, she shook the bell, and a familiar clinking sound rang out.
As the sound echoed, Felicia felt a moment of disorientation. She then quickly covered the bell.
Felicia looked at Michael, letting out a small breath before asking, "Where did this come from?"
