EPISODE 32. Muddy water

I limped down the stairs and looked around to see if there were other stairs. Fortunately, a large hall appeared on the other side of the hallway, so this seemed to be the first floor.

‘My ankle is… worse than I thought.

It was a little uncomfortable at first, but as I went down the stairs, the throbbing pain got worse.

I wiped away the cold sweat and hid in the shadowed corner. Several people in black masks came down the stairs I came down.

There was a limit to hide, but the enemies just passed by walked towards the centre of the hall without looking at me. It was the influence of mental control ability.

I entered the hallway where the rooms were lined up to avoid those wearing black masks that moving in the same line. The seventh room on the first floor. Slowly counting, I reached the front of the seventh door and carefully pulled the doorknob.

Clank.

Unfortunately, the door was locked. I was expecting it to open outside like the room I was in. After pulling the handle a few times in annoyance, I knocked on the door and opened my mouth.

“Edward-ssi? Edward-ssi, are you there?”

But no answer came back. I thought this room would be right. Had he been moved to another place?

As I looked around, biting my lip in awkward, I heard Edwards voice from inside the room.

“Ha, Han Yi-gyeol-ssi…?”

“Edward-ssi!”

Edwards voice was so low that I couldnt hear it if I didnt pay attention. Besides, it was rough and dry, like a sick person.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Anxiety surged. When I hurriedly asked, Edward coughed a few times before answering in a slightly clearer voice than I had just heard.

“Ah, no. Im fine. Just now, I mean, because Im so thirsty…”

It was then that I remembered that he had been arrested and that Edward hadnt had water or food until now. He was still young and lacked basic stamina, so it would have been difficult for him to endure it any longer.

“Please wait a minute, Edward-ssi. I will find a way to open the room.”

If only my ankle was fine, I would have tried to do it with my own strength, but even that was difficult now. I first opened the door to another room next door.

Inside the empty room, there was a simple single bed and a single drawer. When I looked around in the dark and opened the drawer just in case, an unexpected item appeared.

“Gun?”
