The remaining five infirenaries split into two groups, following the routes Felicia had nned.
Scarlet, on the other hand, followed Felicia down a different path.
The night was pitch–ck, and the shlight they had wasn’t the most powerful kloud, post the most basic one. As soon as it was turned on, it was swallowed by the surrounding darkness. 11 only illuminated the path right underfoot and not the distant surroundings.
In such dense darkness, the thick forest around them seemed like ghostly shadows, When the wind blew, making them sway, the eerie atmosphere reached its peak! scarlet rubbed her arm, feeling the hairs on her body stand on end. She turned to look at Felicia, who appeared unaffected. She walked <b>at </b>a calm pace with no hint of fear in her demeanor, even in this environment.
“Boss, aren’t you afraid at all? Scarlet asked, confused.
Felicia continued walking forward, observing the terrain <b>and </b>tracks. She replied <b>casually</b>, “No.”
She had walked alone through the night and scaled most of a mountain in a perilous rainforest. This mountain thatcked even threats from wild animals was the least of her worries. Back in the rainforest<b>, </b>she was even targeted by a giant python<b>! </b>
For Felicia, the darkness wasn’t frightening. <b>What </b>was terrifying were the people hiding in it.
The sound of fallen leaves underfoot echoed as Scarlet followed closely behind, aslong <b>again</b>, “<b>Why </b>aren’t you afraid? Have you walked through this before?” “Yeah<b>” </b>
“No way. You’re definitely lying to me!” Scarlet shook her head, clearly unconvinced.
In her eyes, Felicia was the youngdy who could easily offer 500 million dors <b>for </b><b>a </bmission. She didn’t seem like someone who would endure this.

Felicia answered nonchntly, “When I was younger, the school was tar away from the vige, and I had to cross mountains to get there. It’s not just walkin through the night. I’ve also walled through a graveyard before.
At this point, Felicia paused.
The memories of her childhood, which she thought she had long forgotten, flooded back clearly when she spoke about it.
“When <b>I </b><b>passed </b>the graveyard during the day, I <b>wasn’t </b>scared. But at night, I would walk <b>past </b>it with my eyes closed. I didn’t <b>dare </b>to look up or around until I saw the lights of the vige. Only then would I feel <b>safe</b>.
“As I got used to it, it didn’t feel like much. As time <b>passed</b>, I continued to walk the path alone. Sometimes, I’d even intentionally slow down and rest by the graveyard. Because at that time, the couple with sticks and whips wouldn’t dare toe near.”
Feliciaughed <b>as </b>she spoke.
Scarlet’s expression shifted from disbelief to silence, and the two of them continued walking Inquietpanionship <b>for </b><b>a </b>while.
After a long <b>pause</b>, Scarlet said again, “I have a younger sister. When our parents divorced, I stayed with my mom, and she stayed with my <b>dad</b>. We were both young and promised that we’d meet <b>again </b>when we had the chance.
“Butter, that man remarried, and they had a <b>fat </b>son. My sister was abused to death by them. Then, my mom <b>found </b>a new husband and had another child. <b>My </b>stepfather wasn’t a good person either..”
Scarlet didn’t continue and just offered a hollowedugh. She concluded, “Anyway, they all paid the price.”
Felicia paused for a moment, saying nothing she just stood still.
When Scarlet caught up and was about to ask why they had stopped<b>, </b>she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace. Some foms offort were silent, Scarlet froze for a moment, then gently ced her chin on Felicia’s shoulder and let out a soft, faint smalle.
