Agula explained.
"However, this is not a simple mechanism. If it is not operated properly, it is likely to trigger the trap."
"We might all die here."
Aimu's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She thought of the various traps she had encountered in the Valley of Death before, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
