She pressed her lips tightly together, trying her best to hold it in, but the itch only grew stronger.
Just as she was about to lose control, Lin Beichen acted in time, covering her mouth once more, signaling with his eyes that she must endure.
Rachel widened her eyes, desperately holding back the sneeze.
She knew all too well that if she sneezed out loud, it would surely draw the mercenaries' attention, the consequences of which were unimaginable.
At that moment, a mercenary noticed the small path ahead, suggesting a new hypothesis: "Could they have escaped down that small path?"
Athena glanced over, thinking it very likely, and ordered, "Chase, they might have run that way!"
As the sound of the mercenaries' footsteps gradually faded away, Lin Beichen finally released his hand from Rachel's mouth and quickly pushed away the body that had been pressing down on him, crawling out of the pile of corpses.
"They're finally gone!" Lin Beichen sighed with relief, expressing emotion.
