“Shut up already.” Jairo was still trying to figure out how to get a fire started.
Nico was still in pain but continued, “I’m just advising you. Remember how scared we were when we first got here? It was barely an hour ago, and they almost thought we were spies with all those questions.
“But look at her. She just arrived. Yet, she isn’t scared at all. She doesn’t even look like she’s worried about the possibility of never getting back. She is even planning to gather herbs on the mountain while giving orders.
“Wake up, bro. This is war. It’s just a part of history. We can’t change history, can we? Why does she have to act like we’re supposed to do something about it? This isn’t something we should bother about. There’s clearly something off about her!”
Upon hearing this, Jairo finally lost his patience. He threw down what he was holding. “You’re the one with a problem! Don’t you seem like a spy? Not being able to answer those questions just now was embarrassing enough.
“Bro, you’re a man too. If you don’t have the guts, then shut up. I am more than happy to travel back to this
period and contribute! We’re not the same!”
Nico was taken aback. He couldn’t understand why someone who had always seemed so timid suddenly
erupted in anger.
The commotion caught Wynter’s attention. She had just finished seeking spiritual guidance and was still holding the knife.
She approached Nico and said in an icy voice, “One more word from you and I’ll cut off your tongue.”
Nico was genuinely scared. He hadn’t expected to be caught causing trouble behind the scenes. He braced his hands on the ground and scooted back.

Although it was very dangerous, as long as one didn’t enter it, there would be no harm. The formation wouldn’t have a strong connection to the real world unless there was a specific cause or effect.

However, it was obvious that these few people seemed to have Judging by their condition, they were dragged in while they were
relaxing.
After all, the heart of the formation was located in the back garden of Declan’s villa. This raised a few questions.
Firstly, why was this Earthbound Formation connected to the parallel real world? How did these people get pulled in? Who chose them to enter, and what was the purpose behind it?

Wynter’s concerns stemmed from the danger the Earthbound Formation would impose if it developed to the point where it could willingly pull people in at any time. This could pose a great danger to people in
the real world.
All of this was connected to the secrets Declan was hiding.
Wynter stepped closer to Nico and looked him in the eye as she pondered on. “However, there’s one thing you got right. I am indeed different from you .
“The reason I remained so calm is because you were pulled in, while I entered voluntarily. If you still want to go back, I’m the only one who can make that happen.”
“Nico, you’ll be stuck here for the rest of your life as a sitting duck if I die or if something happens to me.”
Nico and Phoebe exchanged worried glances. They didn’t want to stay in this dreadful place.
Who would want to live underground while drinking murky water? They were used to drinking imported bottled water from Frenda, after all.
“Miss, no, I mean, young lady! My mouth really deserves a slap!” Nico slapped himself, trying to curry favor with Wynter. “I knew you were different, young lady.”
