Julius was woken up by Ward. Ward wasn't a noisy dog, but when he barked, it was quite loud — especially when he was doing it in his own ear.

Julius, who was under the stairs leading to the attic, gave up his usual sleeping place to Lei. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Ward's black head, and his eyes, which didn't look like they were man-made at all. Julius rubbed his eyes and reached for Ward's head, who shook his head and shook his hand off.

As a dog, Ward's personality is still a little different from that of a real dog, such as that he is more intelligent and does not like to be touched by others. As for Lulunaka, that's the exception.

By this time, the weather had turned cold, and the temperature was not friendly, Julius had changed into bloodless clothes before lying down last night, and finally covered himself with the black robe, although it was a bit unlucky to still be dressed in the clothes of a dead man, but for Julius, there was no better choice.

In Julius' field of vision, there was originally only Ward's head, but after a while, Lei's face appeared. "Good morning, don't you think it's cold to sleep in a place like this?"

"Much better than where you normally sleep. Julius replied, then stood up, "It's not so uncomfortable to lie on the ground, and it's clean." ”

Lei, who slept in the place where Julius used to rest, agreed, "Yes, it's better than my place, I didn't expect you to have such a home, it's really enviable." ”

Julius was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this place to be called a writer. He didn't realize what kind of home it was, his parents died too early, their faces were about to become blurred, and for Julius, home was also a vague concept.

As for Lei, she didn't think too much about it when she said this, and when it came to knowing such things as home, she probably knew less than Julius. She was just a little envious of Julius for having a solid place to rest, nothing more.

Julius looked at Lei, the moss had been washed off her face, but there was a scar on it that looked like it was going to cut open her entire face. Noticing Julius' gaze, Rei touched the scarred wound, "It still hurts, but it's not as painful as it was at the beginning." ”

"Is that okay? You'll have a little more on your face in the future. Julius stood up and hung his black robe aside, "I don't eat with my face anyway." Rei replied, her fingers groping around the scarred area, but at last she held back, not picking it off because the scab was itchy and uncomfortable, and if she did, half of her face would probably be red with blood again. "But a kid like me, if I could eat with my face, I wouldn't pick up garbage. ”

To Julius, Rei was still cute, but she was really thin and dirty earlier, when she first met her. Now, her complexion has improved, but there is a fresh scar on her face, which splits her face diagonally and splits it in two.

Julius stood up, just as Pasta happened to pass by and saw both of them. "It's best not to touch it, it's only going to get more and more itchy, and eventually you can't help it. Pasta said to Lei, "If you don't wash your hands, you're going to get the wound infected, and the wound will become uglier." ”

Pasta's words made Rei quickly put her hand down. Although she didn't care about the extra scar on her face, if the scar turned into an earthworm, it was too ugly, and she still couldn't accept it. "Thanks for the reminder. Lei said to Pasta. When she first saw this bearded man, she thought it was a difficult person to get along with, but after contact, she found that it didn't seem to be the case.

Pasta didn't stop and turned to leave, "As long as you can endure it, the scars won't get any uglier." When you grow up, the scars will probably be lighter. ”

After Pasta left, Julius and Rei were left alone. "Let's go out and take a look outside. Ray said to Julius, "It's a lot different out there now, and God knows when it will recover." ”

Julius remembered the blue starry sky from last night, was it still the same outside after dawn?

He and Rei left the house and went to the back yard. When he walked out, he felt a chill, and there were falling snowflakes falling on him, and there was also a thin layer of snow on the ground. This season, the snow has already started.

And the snow is still blue, which looks very weird. Julius paid attention to Lei, and was relieved to see that she was dressed fairly well and would not get frostbitten. He stretched out his hand, and snowflakes fell on his palm. The snow is still white, but the edges and surface seem to be painted with blue paint, giving it a blue sheen in the sunlight.

Julius looked up and looked at the sky. The sun is still above, it's just not so strong that you need to block your eyes to look at it directly. Even the sun is coated with a layer of blue light, just like yesterday's starry sky.

The world seems to have turned blue.

"Is this what it will be like in the future?" Julius muttered to himself, only to be answered by Lei, "Earlier, the color was stronger...... It's okay now. Maybe after a while, the sky will return to normal. I just don't know how long it will take. ”

As the two of them focused their attention on the sky, Lulunaka climbed out of her workshop, the mobile Whimsy, and stood on top, "Good morning, both of you!" she greeted Julius and Rei with a loud greeting, startling them both.

Before Julius could react and wonder why Lulunaka was so emotional, Rei had already responded to Lulunaka, "Good morning. ”

"I've heard that blue can make people feel depressed and depressed, and I don't think it's unreasonable to see the way you look. Lulunaka stood on it, stretching, "You guys are in bad spirits, haven't you recovered after a night's rest?"

Julius didn't think he would be able to recover from the underground adventures he had risked his life like yesterday's—with just a little sleep. There is no major problem in his body, only Lei's face still has traces of proving that yesterday's incident really happened, except for his hair has become shorter, there is no change, but his spirit really can't recover so quickly.

Although they had a good night's sleep, their faces were still tired.
