The atmosphere at the doorway shifted dramatically as everyone's attention turned to Yang Chen, whose demeanor had suddenly grown enigmatic.
"What's that thing?" Feng Feng asked Hai Tao, eyeing the object in Yang Chen's hand.
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it," Hai Tao admitted, shaking his head in confusion.
"It looks like a soap bubble. Could it be a crystal ball?" Ye Zi speculated.
As they speculated, Yang Chen took the transparent sphere from Judy's hand and examined it closely. "Do you know Aphrodite?" he asked her softly.
Judy's eyes, filled with tension, fear, and hope, lit up with a flicker of desperate joy. "Is this really the talisman from that great personage?" she asked incredulously.
"You don't know the origin of this object?" Yang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise.
