[Host! Stay perfectly still!] Weiwei's voice screamed inside her head, full of genuine panic. [Do not breathe! If your pheromones leak even a single drop right now, that crystal will flash red, and they will pin you to the floor within a millisecond! I am forcing a temporary stealth barrier over your cloak right now! Hold your breath!]
Lin Wan immediately clamped her mouth shut. She pinched her nose tightly under her cloak, her face turning red as she stopped breathing completely.
Her eyes stared wide in the darkness of her hood as the heavy black iron boots stopped right in front of her table.
The shadow scout stood there for three agonizing seconds. He raised the purple crystal, pointing it directly at her lowered head.
The crystal flickered, turning a faint shade of pink, but Weiwei's stealth barrier buzzed heavily, forcing the color back to a dull gray.
