"Boss?"
!?
"A-Ah, yes!" Rose snapped out of her vision, her voice trembling with urgency. "We have to go inside, right now."
Raven and Xu Jiali exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of how to breach the invisible barrier.
"Use the gun, or anything, I don't care, we need to go in!" Rose implored, signaling for Raven to use her firearm.
Raven hesitated for a fleeting moment, her fingers trembling as she pulled out the handgun and aimed it at the barrier. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come.
*Boom!*
The deafening gunshot echoed through the area, capturing the attention of anyone nearby. But time was now a luxury they couldn't afford.
Raven's astonishment mirrored on her face as the bullet failed to penetrate the barrier, leaving them trapped outside in a state of helplessness.
