"Then let's plan for the long-term and look for other shelves," Lin Yi said as he took the lace stockings and square-toed leather shoes from Li Huiyuan's hands, then carefully helped her put them on.
Lin Yi stood up and helped Li Huiyuan to her feet, then glanced warily at the shelves on that side before looking away and leading her back to search for the Student Souvenir Coin on the shelves.
There were still some shelves nearby, but those shelves were not on the path marked with the "exit" sign in blue.
Now at their wits' end, they couldn't give up, so they had no choice but to venture over there and try their luck.
Just as they turned to leave, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly called out from the shadowy area behind them...
"Lin... Yi... (Li... Hui... Yuan...)"
Both of their footsteps paused simultaneously, and they exchanged a look, each seeing a trace of astonishment in the other's eyes.
"Did you... hear it too?" Lin Yi asked.
Li Huiyuan nodded with a pale face.
