Julius collapsed on the ground, trying to catch his breath. But thinking that the black-robed man had left, he was still worried, so he got up from the ground.
If that guy was chasing after Rei, then it would be meaningless for him to risk his life. The worst case scenario was for Rei to leave — if he survived and Rei was caught, that was definitely not the result that Julius wanted to see.
When he stood up, someone walked into the hall.
Julius was thinking about where to find a weapon when someone came in, which gave him a fright. He immediately turned around, his face full of vigilance.
But it was not the black-robed man who came in, nor was it anything else. It was Rei.
Rei returned to this place with a strange expression on her face.
"Julius … That's great, you're still alive."
Seeing that there was no one behind Rei, Julius was relieved. At least Rei was not forced to return here, although Julius should not have let her return.
"You weren't caught, that's good … But you shouldn't have come back here."
Hearing Julius's words, Rei's expression became even more strange. "I'm sorry, but I really can't rest assured."
Seeing Julius's current appearance, Rei had long forgotten that he was naked.
There was no part of his body that was intact, and the surface of his body was burnt black. He looked like a burnt corpse, but he could still move.
If it weren't for the fact that Julius could still speak normally, Rei would have suspected that he had already become a living dead.
"Even if you can't rest assured, you can't help me."
Although Julius was very happy that Rei was fine, his words were still as merciless as when he let her leave. This was not something that could not be said. For Julius, this was the truth.
If Rei had stayed, he might not have been able to focus on the battle with the devil, and Rei might have been held hostage by the black-robed man, which would have been the worst case scenario.
"I found a helper, so it's okay." Rei said to Julius.
Hearing Rei's words, Julius frowned. In this place, where could she find a helper?
Moreover, there was no one else behind her.
Julius also could not sense the existence of anyone else in the hall except for him and Rei.
Just as he was thinking about this, a familiar voice came from behind him.
It was also a very scared voice. "Julius, long time no see."
This sentence was said word by word, and every syllable was very long, which could make people feel impatient.
However, Julius did not feel impatient at all. Every syllable played on Julius's heartstrings, making his heart beat violently.
When the last syllable reached his ears, he turned his head, and his cheek was poked by something slender. He saw that it was a cane.
Then, he saw that familiar smiling face to him.
Who else but Lurunaka could show such a brilliant smile in such a place, so much so that it gave people a strange feeling?
"It hasn't been that long, it's only been one night."
Julius reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face to respond to Lulunaka. However, his smile and his current appearance were even uglier than crying.
"Why do you look like you're about to cry when you see me?"
Lulunaka tilted her head with a puzzled look, and asked, "Is it more terrifying to see me than to see those black robes?"
Julius really wanted to admit that this was the case, but if he agreed with Lulunaka's words, he would just jump into her rhythm... or into her trap. Julius was not that stupid.
However, Lulunaka's appearance reminded Julius of something, and then he remembered Rei's words.
"When did you start living here?"
In response to Julius's question, Lulunaka did not seem to have any intention of lying, "When you extinguished the small flame and the old man left.
By the way, the old man's performance was a bit disappointing, and I didn't want his companions to come back here so soon, so I helped you get rid of him.
So, shouldn't you be thanking me? I've done what you need to do. You can sit here and do nothing but wait for the good news. "
"You... killed him?"
In response to Julius's question, Lulunaka blinked, "Of course he's dead, and I hate this kind of guy who digs around in other people's homes - although this is not my home."
Lulunaka said something strange again, but Julius was used to it.
He noticed that Lulunaka was holding a magic book in her hand, and Julius was too lazy to think about what happened to the original owner of the magic book.
Since Black Robe was dead, it was a good thing for Julius.
"You know each other?"
Rei saw that Lulunaka and Julius seemed to be very familiar with each other, and she was a little surprised, her eyes looking back and forth between the two of them.
"Yes, she is my..." At this point, Julius was a little bit speechless.
If it was in the past, saying that Lulunaka was his cousin would be the right choice, but now, he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
And Lulunaka's next words were just as he thought, "cousin" was not right.
"This guy is an orphan that I raised, I told you before, didn't I?
I have always been very sympathetic to children who have no family. "
"You didn't say that to me. What you said to me just now was completely different."
Rei frowned and looked puzzled. "If that's the case … You're Julius's guardian?
Did you peel off the skin of some young girl's face? "
Julius saw that Rei was not surprised at all, and even said something so horrifying. He was so scared that his heart tightened, and he took a deep breath.
Lulunaka was not angry at all, and she smiled and reached out to touch Rei's head, although Rei looked reluctant. "Peeling off the skin of people's faces is not my style, it's too disgusting."
"You just did something even more disgusting than peeling off the skin, and I saw it!"
Rei shouted, and then as if she remembered something bad, her face suddenly turned pale.
"You actually took that person's head..."
"Don't force yourself to remember something disgusting."
Julius quickly stopped Rei, he did not want to hear what Lulunaka did, it was definitely not something that could make people happy.
