Sensing a Hidden Conspiracy

Hardy, Eliza, and Zora each took the potions John handed over.

Although the three of them had great trust in John, upon seeing the potion bottle, they all showed very ugly expressions on their faces.

The potion bottles John handed over were transparent, which meant they could see the appearance of the liquid inside. The potion in the bottle was an amber, pus-like substance.

The potion looked like poison no matter how one viewed it.

Zora could not help but ask John, "Lord Plague Doctor, do you really think this potion will help us in our next action? Can I choose not to drink it?"

"Do as you wish. If you can avoid any danger while moving forward in the swimming pool, then you naturally don't need to drink it. But I must warn you that you will feel severe nausea after drinking this potion.
