Since Rei had nodded, Julius did not plan to leave immediately.
Moreover, with Lulunaka here, he did not think that he could really leave like this — for Lulunaka, he was a useful laborer. This was his self-understanding of himself.
After that, there was nothing else to do in the hall.
Lulunaka walked in the front, followed by Julius and Rei. They followed her to the edge of the underground lake.
Julius did not think that he could return to this place. At that time, he and Rei had run blindly to this place in order to escape from the pursuit of the black robe. Rei was injured, and he was almost burned to death.
Not much time had passed, but Julius still felt that he had returned to this place after a long time.
The edge of the lake was smooth. If they took one more step forward, they would be able to step into the lake. However, looking at the pitch-black lake, Julius did not have the courage to step in. If there was no difference between the depth of the lake and the bottom of the lake was an abyss, then he would probably be hopeless. He did not think that Lulunaka would help to pull him up — if it was Rei, she would probably try her best.
Lulunaka squatted by the lake, reached out her hands to scoop up the lake water, and then splashed it on the surface of the lake, causing layers of ripples.
"There is so much water … Which idiot would think that all the water in this lake could be sucked out? How laughable."
After playing with the water for a while, she raised her head and looked at Julius and Rei. "If we want to go down, we have to jump into this lake."
Hearing Lurunaka's words, the expressions of the two men immediately turned ugly.
"Is this the safety you mentioned?
I don't think drowning is a very safe thing. This is probably a very safe way to die. "
"I've seen all kinds of ways to die. Drowning is indeed a very safe way to die … Or should I say it's stable?
After all, it doesn't cause much pain. "
Lulunaka said with a smile, then took out two slender bottles from her bosom and threw them to the two of them.
Julius and Rei both caught the bottle. It was a beautiful, slender glass bottle. It was crystal clear, and the liquid inside could be seen clearly.
Based on the quality alone, even if the glass bottle was empty, it could be sold for a high price.
There was also a thin cork on the glass bottle to prevent the dark blue transparent liquid from spilling out.
It was a strange liquid that Rei had never seen before. Although the color of the liquid was beautiful, it made her feel uneasy.
She had seen even more bizarre potions in the Rat Path, and most of them were used to deceive people … She didn't know why Lulunaka also took out two bottles that looked like potions.
Julius was already used to Lulunaka often taking out some strange things, even if he didn't know where she could hide them.
"What's this?"
He asked Lurunaka directly. At this time, he couldn't be shy. He had to ask clearly what the potion was. Otherwise, when he was forced to drink it, he might not be mentally prepared at all.
"It's something that allows you to breathe in the water. If you don't drink it, you can't follow me to the deepest part of the underground lake."
Lulunaka replied, "If you don't want to drink it, it doesn't matter. But you have to leave quickly."
The two dead Black Robes had companions. Julius and Rei knew this. If they didn't want to continue following Lulunaka, they had to go back the way they came, and the sooner the better.
But since they had followed Lulunaka to the lakeside, Rei didn't want to change her mind at this time.
She pulled out the cork and poured the liquid into her mouth.
The blue liquid tasted like water. After drinking it, the cold feeling made her shiver.
Raising the bottle high, Rei turned the bottom of the bottle upside down and drank all the liquid inside. Then, she handed the empty bottle to Lurunaka.
"Is this okay?"
Lulunaka nodded happily, "Of course. It's so refreshing, little cutie."
"Can you not call me little cutie?"
Since the beginning, Rei had been very concerned about the way Lurunaka addressed her. This cute way of addressing her made her feel uncomfortable all over.
But Lulunaka was not the kind of person who would change her habits because of what others said. She just laughed a few times, completely ignoring Rei's words.
Julius saw Rei drinking the potion given by Lulunaka. He sighed and could only drink it.
Seeing that both of them had finished drinking the potion, Lurunaka clapped her hands. "Very good. Now you can follow me to the real underground to have some fun."
Before Julius asked what they should do next, Lulunaka had stood up.
She faced the two of them with her back to the lake and waved at them. "Then I'll go first. You guys have to follow me."
As soon as she finished her words, Lulunaka leaned back and fell into the lake.
When Lulunaka made a splash, Julius and Rei realized what had happened. But at this time, Lulunaka had already sunk into the lake.
If it were someone else, Julius would have suspected that the person had the idea of suicide. But Lulunaka would not have such a thing.
Lurunaka didn't say anything and just fell into the lake.
She did not explain anything to Julius and Rei, but just gave them a potion that could let them breathe in the water. Then she went first.
Rei thought that Lulunaka had something else to tell them, but she did not expect that she would just jump in like that. Was she going to jump in like that?
Even though she had drunk the potion, she hesitated for a moment.
What if the potion did not work after she jumped?
Then she could only drown to death.
Julius saw Rei's concern. In fact, if he was not familiar with Lulunaka, he would also have the same concern.
"Don't worry. At least she won't lie about this kind of thing."
Julius said to Rei. He also walked to the lake and made a jumping posture, "Even if she lied to you, at least I will be at the bottom."
In order to reassure Rei, Julius also jumped in.
Even if she did not believe in Lulunaka, at least she should believe in her companion who had been with her for some time.
Seeing Julius jump in, Rei's worry was greatly reduced. Without hesitation, she also jumped in.
Two more splashes appeared on the lake, and then it became calm again.
