Lan Yin had been wondering about the purpose of the pool, but after a short while, he felt his strength gradually disappearing.
He could stand on his own before, but now he had to lean against the edge of the pool just to stay upright.
'There's something strange about this water. It's actually absorbing my strength.'
"Time's up. Everyone out."
After an unknown amount of time, someone entered from outside and, in a gruff voice, ordered the guards by the pool to haul them out.
That's right, they were hauled out with a large net. The guards seemed terrified of touching the pool water, avoiding it as much as possible. If even a single drop splashed onto them, they would immediately wash it off with the clean water on the bank.
Lan Yin took note of this. 'This pool water is definitely bad news,' he thought.
Once they were on the bank and had dried off, the guards half-carried them away in pairs.
