"Hold this. It'll make you stand out so the filming crew can find you even if there's fog," Shannon said.
Eddie immediately agreed. "Makes sense. Let's each pick one then."
Bella's lips twitched in utter disbelief, while Olivia chimed in, "Why don't we all take one? But there's only five and not enough for everyone."
Bella stood there and watched as her afro-head mask got shuffled through by the others. Her clenched fist tightened and loosened.
Finally, she coldly turned around and walked off.
Adeela curiously asked, "Why does it feel like Ms. Ford is mad?"
Shannon replied, "Maybe she just doesn't like afros."
Presley, who was about to grab one, paused. Then, he quietly put it back.
It did seem like the afro-head masks were pretty ridiculous. He didn't like them either.
…
The seven people were divided into two groups. Compared to the lively team of five, Shannon and Bella were practically silent.
While both of them were known to be on the colder side, the sheer lack of interaction between them made Carlos frown. "I should've put Eddie in their group."
At least someone would say something.
Just as he thought so, Bella snapped, "Can you stop shaking that?"
Still swinging the afro-head mask in her hand, Shannon glanced at her and flatly refused without hesitation. "Nope."
Bella glared at her with a cold expression. "Shannon, such childish provocations only make you look immature."
Shannon raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think I'm provoking you? It's just a head that got hit by a fire thunder talisman."
"You…"
Wondering if she was seeing things, she hurriedly took out her phone to record just like the office worker had done.
Click!
Instead of shifting behind another building like in the second picture, the building blocked part of a nearby building.
Olivia blinked and pressed the shutter again. The building seemed to have gotten closer.
With another click, Olivia's eyes widened. The building was moving toward her!
"The ghost building!" Olivia screamed. The next second, everyone felt the room darken as if something enormous had blocked the window. Then, the livestream screen glitched.
When the light was restored, the spot where Olivia by the window had been standing was empty. Everyone, including the filming crew, froze in horror.
Olivia was gone!
