Because powerful human explorers had once ventured into the Forbidden Zone—only to never return—finding their corpses here could only mean one thing:
This place was deadly.
Aria felt a chill crawl up her spine. "Ricky… this place might be even more dangerous than we thought. Can you untie me now?"
Ricky glanced at her, skeptical. "What if you run off the second I do?"
"..." Aria's face darkened, a vein twitching on her forehead.
"Where the hell would I even run to?!"
"Oh. Yeah, good point." Ricky looked around. The room was clearly sealed—no doors, no windows, just four creepy statues and a whole lot of stone.
With a shrug, he finally gave in and started untying her.
Aria stretched her arms the moment she was free, rolling her shoulders with a relieved sigh.
"We need to figure out a way out of here."
"Got any ideas?"
