Meanwhile, he could feel Li Huiyuan's grasp on his hand tightening subconsciously, and he could sense her body trembling slightly.
That faint trembling, born from the fear of the unknown, was traveling up his arm to his hand. At the same time, he could clearly feel the chill emanating from the palm of Li Huiyuan's hand.
Lin Yi wanted to pat her shoulder to signal her not to worry, but considering his other hand was holding the student ID card in his pocket, he hesitated for a moment and then decided against the gesture.
"Don't worry, we're going back to the first floor now,"
Lin Yi tried to calm Li Huiyuan with a gentle and low voice. Li Huiyuan responded with a quiet "mmm," but Lin Yi did not feel her reassurance. On the contrary, her grip tightened even more.
Lin Yi quickly recited the "Protective incantation" in his mind and then started to hurry Li Huiyuan down to the first floor.
