Chương 11: Olivia
"Nooo! I'm really sorry. It was my fault, so you must accept it. Also..."
"Fine! I accept your apology. Fufu~ What else you want to say?"
Felix looked at her intently as he smiled brightly and then he said something which made Alex blush unduly.
After what he just said, she immediately turned away, attempting to conceal her cold blushed cheeks. He could only smile as he saw her behavior.
"Heyyy! You guys!? Are you done!?" Mike's sudden distant voice brought both of them out of their stupor.
Hearing Leader's call, Alex slightly raised her chest. Her face, which was entirely covered in blush, and said, "Let's... Let's go!!"
Without daring to take another glance back at him, she strode away hastily in large strides towards her teammates.
*badump* *badump*
Each step she took, her heart raced frantically.
'What is this strange feeling? It has never happened to me before. Why do I keep feeling like this, whenever he says something honestly? His eyes... they are so intense yet beautiful,' She wondered.
On the other hand, Felix could merely see her slender figure reflecting in the bridge's lights as she walked away from him. He was admiring her indescribable beauty inwardly. He always had this habit. No matter if it's a thing or even people, he always appreciated their natural beauty.
If it wasn't for Mister George being a good friend of his late old man, he wouldn't have complied with his request for coming here in the first place. He wouldn't even be staying in this team where he had to listen to Nick's pointless annoying comments periodically. Not to mention, he was never a patient guy, to begin with. Especially, when it came to hearing irritating lectures from anyone.
Now that he was here. He really liked his teammates so far. Of course, excluding Nick.
In his eyes, Nick was a cantankerous and obnoxious person brimming with a dogmatic personality. However, Felix wasn't worried. Being gullible and meek wasn't his style at all.
Amongst all his principles, one of the very significant principles that he always followed was ~
Give respect. Take respect.
If Nick can't even do that, then there wasn't any need to spare a single thought about him or even thinking of befriending him.
He shook his head and went towards his teammates. They were standing right where he stood earlier when he was calculating the height of the bridge i.e., in the middle region of the right pathway, near the barriers.
His eyes swept across the barriers again when suddenly a light flashed across his eye and he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Nooo!!!"
His surprised shout made everyone turn their heads in his direction.
"What is it, Felix?" Veronica inquired first as she saw his apprehensive state.
"No... that... I was just wondering about something," he replied in a faint voice while looking at her.
Everyone had their doubts after hearing his response but they didn't probe into it further.
'That was close...' he sighed inwardly after steadying his breath.
Nodding her head in acceptance, Veronica turned her gaze to Paul and asked, "What's the structure, Brother Paul? Can you tell?"
Paul nodded while holding his SLS device and enunciated exuberantly as he stared at the lightings of the bridge, "Hmm! It's based on Beaux-Arts architecture. An architectural art style taught in Paris from the 1830s till the end of the 19th century. It basically pertained to the principles of French neoclassicism yet you can see there are traces of gothic and renaissance elements. It's amazing right?"
"Amazing but scary too," Veronica let out.
"Man! I just love your quintessential way of explaining the architecture," Alex chimed in when she heard about the intricate details the bridge had in its structure.
There was no way Felix understood everything, Paul just explained. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by Gothic and Renaissance elements, Brother Paul?"
Felix did had knowledge about the history but coming from a foreign country he wasn't familiar with all of it, which was obvious.
Paul's grandfather was a renowned architect. He was known for his exceptional and remarkable works. He had several associations throughout the world with prominent people as well. It wasn't a surprise that all the data Paul amassed, came from his grandpa's abundant knowledge. As Felix came to learn about this, he really admired Paul for his diligence.
Paul who heard Felix's question glanced at him and continued, "Felix bro, Gothic and Renaissance are again other art styles. We can discuss them in the future haha~"
They smiled at his disposition. He had such an affable temperament that everyone relished.
"These barriers..." Alex muttered and drew their attention back to the elevated iron barriers which were affixed on top of the railings.
Those barriers were really high. The bridge was comprised of all these barriers on top of its boundaries. Moving her hand forward, she touched the railings with her fingers only to feel the cold sensation that came from those iron-made railings.
"Sssssss... Cold," She drew back her hand when Celia smiled bitterly and elucidated, "These were made to prevent the suicides. They first constructed this in 1989 but later on, over the years this has gone through many renovations."
As she explained, Felix got another insight into how Celia was not only a beautiful lady but also had extensive awareness of the history. He couldn't help but again admire another one of his teammates. That explains why Alex didn't stop Celia earlier on the bus when she was informing him about the past of the bridge.
'Celia is absolutely incredible in history,' Felix really thought highly of her now.
"Yes! Alright! We have spent enough time scrutinizing the bridge. Let's start the EVP session. I'll hold the EMF detector with me. Rob and Steve, get ready to shoot," Mike advised them.
Rob and Steve began their work after Mike switched on his EMF detector device.
A black rectangular-shaped device that included 5 small LED lights of different colors. The extreme left one was light green in color followed by dark green, yellow, orange, and lastly red.
It was a device to identify the high-level emissions of electromagnetic fields. The red-colored LED identified those high-level fields. When detecting, the device would light up and fluctuate to produce a sound to indicate that the electromagnetic field has been detected nearby.
Since long ago, these fluctuations of the device have also been associated with locations where unexplained phenomena have been reported, including alleged hauntings.
And, now the EMF detector was like a go-to buddy whenever someone went for ghostbusting.
Felix, of course, was aware of this equipment. Thus, he remained quiet and simply observed.

Subsequently, Mike started strolling on the footpath as he swayed his device left to right in the hope to find something, "If anyone... anyone is here, other than me and my teammates. My name is Mike. Please! Respond to us. Use this device. Manifest your all energy and hold this device that I'm currently holding onto my hands. Give us a signal that you are here. We are not alone. We are not here to harm you. We are here to communicate with you."
His voice was loud enough to be heard by all of his teammates yet he didn't receive any reaction from his device other than the whistling sound of the cold breeze passing through the iron barriers.
Meanwhile, as Mike was involved with his device, Rob and Steve kept shooting through various angles.
At this moment, it was already 9:30 pm. In order to seek evidence as quickly as possible, Mike told Alex and Celia to begin with their EVP session.
The electronic voice phenomenon device was another black-colored device. Disembodied voices usually occur at a frequency lower than normal human ears can detect. This is where this device comes in handy.
Alex had her EVP device which she switched on promptly at Mike's instruction, "Hello! I would like to properly introduce myself. My name is Alexandra. These all standing with me are my friends. If you are here then please give us a sign. And, let us know whether you want to speak..."
Alex let out her voice, her words indicating that she respects the unknown entity which is claimed to be present here by the people. She and her teammates included, don't want to inflict any harm to it.
Observing Alex, Felix who stood at the back slightly smiled. Showing respect towards the dead souls was the right move in his eye to proceed with interactions. Unlike him, who had a terrible manner of uttering profanity if anyone picks his nerve, no matter whoever it is, even if the entity is inhuman. However, his teammates couldn't be compared with him. Felix had full confidence regarding his skills. That was the sole reason why he could act recklessly at times.
**Death**
Suddenly, a loud female robotic voice generated from the EVP device which sent chills among Felix and the others.
"Sssssss... You guys heard that!? Right!?" the moment Veronica heard the EVP's response. A horrible chill went down her spine. She was already getting some awful vibes back then and now this.
"Man! I got chills," Alex pulled her jacket from one of her hands while carrying her phone on the other. She switched on her phone's flashlight and showed the goosebumps she just got.
"Felix boi! Do you see that? Look! Look!" she quickly added, bringing forth her hand towards Felix.
"I can see it, Sister Alex," he answered back softly and nodded.
Even though Felix wasn't frightened at all, he couldn't help but agree that he did get some cold creeps as he heard that sound. In his case, it wasn't because of the word it said but because of the voice it had.
That robotic female voice of the device, devoid of any emotions was the reason why he got creeps.
"Sshhh!!" Celia hushed; implying them to keep quiet, and proceeded, "Death!? Does that mean you died here?"
She asked frantically. She wanted to get to know what occurred here years ago. She wanted to continue a full-on conversation because this might be the only chance those entities will get to convey their feelings.
Sadly, even after quite a while, they didn't get any response until Felix came and took the device from Alex's hands,
"Who are you?" he asked in a loud voice as he glanced at his teammates; anticipation clearly visible in their eyes.
A momentary silence fell, when right after a few seconds suddenly, another voice resounded,
**Olivia**
