Marina opened her mouth and looked stupidly at Lulunaka who appeared in front of her.
Lulunaka in front of her was still wearing a plain dress. There were many stains on her clothes and face. She even stretched out her hand to wipe them. Then she came in front of Marina and raised her head slightly to look at Marina, "Miss, do I know you?"
"You are Lulunaka, right?" Marina asked, her voice trembling a little.
"Yes, I am Lulunaka."
Lulunaka tilted her head and looked puzzled, "Where did you know me? Was it from a friend?
But I don't think I am that famous. "
Marina stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Lulunaka to see if she was real. But when she raised her hand, she retracted it. Her hand was trembling. If she did something strange, she might be treated as a suspicious person.
"Do you still remember what happened a few days ago?" Marina asked.
Lulunaka frowned, as if she didn't understand what Marina was talking about, "A few days ago?
I have been staying in the shop to deal with the materials. I was so busy that I didn't even go out. "
Speaking of this, Lulunaka turned to look at Pasta, "Speaking of which, a few nights ago, the sky suddenly turned blue. At that time, you were all dumbfounded. Am I right, uncle?"
Pasta nodded in response.
This middle-aged man was indeed Lulunaka's uncle. But Marina couldn't confirm whether this Lulunaka in front of her was the Lulunaka she met. She felt that the person in front of her was so real and not an illusion.
According to Lulunaka, that day when the sky turned blue, she didn't go out at all … But, the Lulunaka that Marina met in the sewer, what was going on? Could it be that in the King's Castle, there were two people who looked exactly the same?
Marina didn't think that she would encounter such an incredible thing, but it seemed to be happening right in front of her eyes.
She grabbed Lulunaka's shoulders with both hands. "You really don't know what happened underground that day?
You and I were there, and then you … "Her voice became a little high, but when she saw Lurunaka's eyes, she couldn't continue the rest of the sentence.
Lulunaka's eyes were filled with doubt. She looked at Marina as if she was looking at a stranger.
Marina let go of Lulunaka. "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Lulunaka shook her head. "I'm fine. Did something happen to you?" she asked.
Marina didn't know how to answer. Was she supposed to say that she had met someone who looked exactly like her, and that person had saved her life and died in her place?
She couldn't say such words. She felt that she would be treated as a lunatic.
"Nothing. I have a friend who looks like you." Marina said to her.
Hearing this, Lulunaka showed a very interested expression. "Looks like me?
Could it be that she looks exactly like me?
Can I meet your friend? "
"My friend is dead." Marina said.
Lulunaka showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." Marina forced a smile.
"Losing that friend must be a very sad thing for you. I understand. When my family or friends are gone, I always feel lonely and sad."
Lulunaka held Marina's hand, closed her eyes, and pulled her hands in front of her. "But all of this will pass. I think your friend wouldn't want to see you sad like this."
Marina knew that Lulunaka was comforting her, but she still couldn't let it go.
Was the dead Lulunaka her friend?
Marina didn't know. They just met by chance and then separated, never having the chance to see each other again. Could they be considered friends? But Lulunaka did lose her life because of her. This was something that she couldn't let go of these days.
This girl, who also had the name Lulunaka, said something that she shouldn't be able to say at her age. It was rather philosophical.
All of this would pass, but before she could let it go, Marina didn't know how many sleepless nights she had to endure.
When Lulunaka mentioned the person who was no longer around, Marina thought of her teacher.
Her teacher, who was already buried, once said that she wasn't a qualified mage because she didn't have a cold heart.
Marina always wanted to prove to her teacher that even if she was like this, she could still become a great mage.
But now, Marina finally realized that her teacher's words might be right.
If she didn't have a diamond heart, she might not be able to walk down the path of a mage. Just one person's death made her so confused that she couldn't recover.
"Being sad isn't a bad thing, miss."
Lulunaka's words woke Marina up from her trance. Lulunaka's small palm made her feel warm.
"Although everything will pass, it doesn't mean that it won't be remembered. Although it's a bad memory, it's the same as those good memories, it will become your everything."
Hearing Lulunaka's words, Marina was silent for a while, and then she smiled. It was no longer a forced smile, although her smile was still full of bitterness. "These words aren't something a girl can think of."
Lulunaka smiled a little embarrassedly, and looked at Pasta, "I heard uncle say these words before, and felt that it was very interesting, so I remembered it."
Pasta didn't have any reaction, and continued to drink tea, as if he didn't hear anything.
Marina looked at Pasta, and thought that it was reasonable for an older person to say such words.
Although there was still a knot in her heart, Marina was released from that suffocating state.
Maybe it's because I saw another Lurunaka, so I'm trying to convince myself that she's still alive.
She felt that she was a despicable person, so she could forgive herself. Thinking of this, Marina felt as if she couldn't breathe again.
"I came to the wrong place and person, and I'm sorry to disturb your business." Marina said to Lulunaka. "Then I …"
"Wait, I have something to give you."
Seeing that Marina was about to leave, Lulunaka withdrew her hand, ran behind the counter, and disappeared from Marina's sight.
Then she stood up from behind the counter, and walked toward Marina.
"I have a small gift for you, as a guest's first benefit." Lulunaka said to Marina with a smile, and stuffed a small toy into her hand.
