Because you don't need to walk on your own feet, the process of waiting on the platform is a bit boring. In such a small space, the concept of time seems to have become blurred.

Julius didn't know how long it had been like this, but he came back to his senses from his half-daze when the platform stopped again, letting his feet sink under his feet. "We're there?" This time, when the platform stopped, it felt like it was a little weightless for a while, and it fell straight down, and then it fell to the ground before stopping.

"Yes, we arrived. Lei said, then elbowed Julius on the waist, "Don't be stunned, you can't let up in such a deep place, or God knows what's going to come at you." Cheer me up, don't die like this. ”

Rei could see that Julius was in a state of boredom just now, and he could be like this when the platform hadn't stopped, but now that he had reached his destination, he couldn't do that.

After the platform stopped, there was an exit from the convention, no different from the one above. It's just that when I go deeper underground, it feels completely different.

"We can't get back to the surface, are we?" said Julius.

Rei moved the platform, slowly moving upwards, and then returning it to its original position. "It's still working properly, no problems. She said to Julius, "That little bump just now, it's not a big problem...... It shouldn't be big. ”

Lei's words made Julius feel unreassured. But now that he's here, there's no way he'll leave Lei behind and run away on his own. "If it really doesn't work, then I'll probably have to climb up with you on my back. He smiled wryly at Lei.

Hearing Julius's words, Rei smiled very happily, "That's not bad, then it's time for me to rest assured." ”

Julius looked up and saw that there was a passage with no end in sight, and he and Rei had just come down from it, not knowing how deep the road had gone or where they were now.

"It's a lot of work to climb up. Julius said.

"It's not like it's impossible for you. Lei said.

"It's going to be tiring. But if you haven't tried it, I don't know what it will be. ”

The two left the platform, and before leaving, Rena pulled a small bag from her bosom and then took out a few guiding stones from it. "I don't have a lot of my own stones, so I have to save them. ”

"Didn't you take a little yourself from the guiding stones that others gave you?"

Lei showed Julius a little ridiculous and helpless expression, "You can't be greedy for this little cheapness, if you are greedy, something will happen." If I steal a pebble, those guys will suspect that I am greedy, and if I suspect that I am hiding in other ways and not saying anything, then we will not be able to meet in the future. In Rat Lane, they want to know what garbage I picked up and what I sold, and that's so easy. ”

Rei poked Julius in the chest with her finger, probably trying to poke him in the head if she could, "Think about what you shouldn't do." ”

Julius coughed a few times, knowing that he had thought too little, so he said no more. He was used to thinking less about himself than Lei. He didn't think he was a stupid man, but he wasn't a smart person, and it would be a bit of a shame to compare it to Rei - Reco was still a child, and he was already a young man.

After leaving the platform, the two walked into the underground world that they don't know how deep. When they came out, they didn't see a wide space, but a small path. It was much wider than the narrow passage they had come down to, but it wasn't big enough for many people to walk together.

The environment down here felt even darker and dampier, and I don't know if it was Julius's delusion, he felt like there was a weight on his back, but the ceiling above him was some distance away, and it didn't look like it was going to collapse and fall. He felt a little uncomfortable on his back, and the hairs on his back seemed to stand on end, pushing up the fabric of his back.

It was a strange feeling, and Julius's face showed a very subtle expression, mixed with feelings of discomfort and doubt, and some uneasiness. Although there is a fire shining on himself and Lei, the dark passage in front of him is so dark that there is no end in sight, it is really difficult to calm down.

Rei has a keen sense of smell, and if there is any danger, then she will notice, and Julius just needs to protect her. There didn't seem to be any danger in the passage, it was quiet, so quiet that only the footsteps of him and Rei and the sound of water droplets. It wasn't the uneasy calm that preceded the storm, it was pure tranquility, but Julius couldn't be reassured by it. 、

"Do you feel a little strange there?" Julius asked, reluctantly, to Ray.

Rei turned her head with a puzzled expression, "No, if there was anything dangerous or wrong, I should have noticed it before you, but I don't feel that way." ”

"Maybe I'm too careful. Julius smiled, but not very well. He thought, probably because he had been in the confined space for too long and couldn't get used to it now. Although it has been some time to go underground, there are some things that you can't get used to in a short time, and they can't be compared to those who have been drilling underground for a long time like Rei.

"You can't be foolish, I've seen a lot of people get out of their way because they go deeper underground and never get back to the surface. ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"What else, if you're not dead, how can you not return to the ground?"

After walking for a while, the two of them seemed to have come to the end of the passage. There was only one pipe in front of them that they could barely climb into, and both of them could get into it, which would not have been possible if it were a taller person.

Lei climbed up the pipe, put her head on the edge of the pipe, closed her eyes, and after a while raised her head, turned back to Julius, and said, "There's nothing ahead, you can keep going." ”

"Let me go ahead, shall I?" Julius suggested, "or I will not be able to protect you if something appears in front of you." ”

"That's true. Lei nodded and crawled out of the pipe, "In case I get caught by something in front, I probably won't even have a chance to fight back, so you might as well go ahead." ”
