Gawain York held his breath, nervously staring at the door, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The sofa that had been moved aside left the wooden door fully exposed, stripping Gawain York of his sense of security, even though Lu Li was right by his side.
But the footsteps merely passed by the door and gradually faded away.
Gawain York, not daring to relax, signaled Lu Li to keep quiet, making sure the footsteps had truly left before he resumed his breathing and rapid heartbeat.
"What do you want to ask?" he asked Lu Li, as if waking from a nightmare.
"I don't have anything to ask."
"Oh…"
Only then did Gawain York realize that Lu Li hadn't spoken and listened to the corridor while saying, "I think you should have a code word too, so we don't mistake each other, right?"
"Where is your Sanity Value Counter?"
"That's som… Oh, that's your code word, of course…" Gawain York came back to his senses, quickly apologizing.
