Chapter 41: Julius on the Other Side

Julius has been through a lot of bizarre things, and in the past year, the most amazing thing he has encountered is probably meeting a person like Lulunaka. And what he's going through with Rei now, if he can't squeeze the "meeting Lulunaka" thing down, can follow closely behind.

He and Rei were now in a narrow passageway, just narrow enough for him and Rei to get in, and there was no room for anything more, which made the two of them almost stick together. Then the passage was a vertical downward path, but they weren't on a ladder, they weren't in a falling state, but they were moving down.

Because he and Rei were now sitting on a small platform that moved downward. When he first saw the small platform, Julius thought it was blocking the way down, but after he was pulled up by Ray, he didn't know what Lei had done, and the platform began to move downward, leading the two of them down the passage.

The passage was so narrow that Julius looked at the walls around him, feeling as if he was going to be crushed and digested by it, which was uncomfortable, but since Rei had pulled him down, he had no regrets.

When the small platform moves down, it is actually quite moving, and it sounds like the sound of a clockwork. It's not a bad sound, but if there's only one voice left in the space, it's a little uncomfortable, not to mention that the space is so small and stretches down that there seems to be no end in sight.

"How did you find out?" asked Julius. He was a little curious about how Rei had discovered such a strange place. After arriving at what looked like a dead end, Julius thought that the new path Rei had said was the end, but she turned away with him and found another way.

She really wasn't lying, she wanted to share a new area with those people that no one had ever set foot before. But just because she's not lying doesn't mean she's done — she doesn't say that there's another new path.

"How did I find out that the stone could be lowered to make way for a new passage, and that's how I found the platform that could move down on its own. Rei replied, "The first time I saw it. She said this and stepped on the platform below, which responded with a clang. "I was still wondering what kind of weird thing it was, why only the floor in this area looked a little different...... It turned out to be mobile. ”

Julius was a little dumbfounded, "So, you don't know anything about it, just step on it, and ...... Did you fall?"

"If I fall, you'll never see me again. Rei laughed, "But I haven't met you yet, and there's nothing like never seeing me again...... It's just that you'll continue to starve, and you'll be one less orphan that no one cares about. ”

"That's not good. Julius replied at once, and he meant it, and though it sounded like Ray was joking, he wasn't.

"yes, that's not good. If I hadn't met you, I guess I wouldn't have the courage to go to a new place by myself. Lei said, "At that time, that half of the cake was still quite valuable." ”

Julius remembered that he was hungry at that time, when Lunaka was kicked out and asked to feed himself, and he thought that he would be uncomfortable for a few days, but in the midst of his embarrassment, he met Lei. "But that half of the bread didn't fill my stomach at all. Although he was grateful to Rei for sharing at the time, Julius told the truth, and it was a very greedy and unsatisfied truth.

"I wonder why you can eat so much...... Even if you're a taller guy than me, you've eaten more than me. Ray gestured at Julius and her own height, and there was a look of regret on her face - she actually wished she had grown up quickly, and now that she was so petite, there were actually many ways to make a living, and scavenging was not how happy she was to do it, but that she could only do it. "You've eaten more than any of the best men I've ever seen, but you don't seem to have any flesh growing on you. ”

Julius couldn't explain it, and at first Lulunaka was with her to take care of him, but he didn't realize it. But after he was responsible for the food, and with Rei, the person who paid him, he began to realize if he was too good at eating. Chunks of jerky, thick broth, and bread as hard as wood...... These are not delicious, they are a lot of things that can be obtained for a lot of money, and the taste is even more flattering. The surface of the jerky has grown mold, and the soup is made of disgusting-looking ingredients, and the bread can make people's jaws ache.

It was these things that Julius had to eat a lot every day, and thanks to these poor foods, which were not expensive, he was able to eat so much. In this way, almost all the money he earned was invested in food, and there was not much left behind, and when Rei watched him eat, it was like watching a pig who didn't know how to cherish food - not because he wasted food, but because he ate too much, so much that she felt a little distressed about such expenses. Julius remembers that Rey said directly, "You can eat better than a pig." At that time, he had already become acquainted with Rei, but he didn't overreact to her ridicule, but the person who laughed changed from Lulunaka to Lei. What made Julius feel a little ridiculous was that he was used to getting along like this, so he didn't have any dislike for Lei, which made the relationship between the two get closer very quickly. Probably that's why Rei brought him here and went deeper underground.

Julius looked around, still the same view, "Where will we be sent?"

"I don't know, it's quite deep anyway, probably a little further down in the middle level. Rei replied, "Maybe you'll be able to go straight to the deep water." ”

"Don't you know where we're going to end up?"

"Because I didn't dare to go down, and when I didn't know where to go, I let this thing go up to its original place. Rei said, and stepped on a bump at her feet. It looked like a raised brick with strange symbols that Julius couldn't read, and Rei couldn't read, but Rei knew how to use it.

"If you're here, I'll have the courage to go down. Lei smiled, "Although I don't know what dangers will be down there, but with your protection, if I am a little more clever, there should be no problems." ”
