The back garden was still the same back garden that Baili Xin saw that night.
Under the sunlight during the day, although this back garden has lost the haziness and dreaminess of the night, it has become more gorgeous and brilliant.
Baili Xin discovered that the route the tour guide took them was the place where Mrs. Nick, her youngest daughter and her eldest son-in-law met that night.
Baili Xin glanced at Emil. Emil was stunned at first, but two seconds later he immediately understood Baili Xin's intention.
Taking a deep breath, Emil immediately started talking nonsense.
"Hey, tour guide, you're not going to take us around in circles in the back garden to waste time, are you? There are only flowers everywhere. Where are the craftsmen and the resort owner?"
The tour guide glanced at everyone and said, "Don't worry. Don't you like these flowers? After you have seen these flowers, I will take you to find the craftsmen and the owner of the resort."
He paused: "Are you in a hurry?"
Emir continued to stir up trouble: "Of course we are anxious. If I am going to die soon, what use will you give me? Let alone letting us enjoy this back garden now, we are not interested even if you pile rare treasures in front of us. Don't you agree?"
Emile's words instantly touched the hearts of most people.
"Yeah, why are we going to see flowers anywhere else? Why are we wasting time here?"
"Yeah, can you guys at the resort pay more attention? Don't you know what we want to see?"
"Can you bring our craftsmen with you right away? At least that will give us some peace of mind."
Baili Xin has been secretly observing these people.
Some people are really anxious, some are just there to watch the fun, like the director who is secretly holding the camera.
The director held the package and secretly pointed the camera at the tour guide.
Once anxiety arises, it spreads like a virus.
In the windless back garden, the colorful flowers suddenly began to tremble restlessly.
Not only these flowers, but also the sound of rustling metal leaves could be heard in the distance.
Hongyue and Bailixin looked at each other, their eyes gradually filled with scrutiny.
Baili Xin's gaze fell on the delicate and beautiful flowers, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It is difficult to define what type of copy this is. This copy is different from the copies he has experienced before.
In the past, the first scene of a copy would be either a horrific death scene, a supernatural being, or a monster.
But this copy was full of warmth. Even though two people died and two people were missing, the strong and brilliant feeling did not diminish much.
There didn't seem to be much fear on these people's faces.
Just like the eldest daughter, who was terrified by the disappearance of her eldest son-in-law yesterday, she forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
What a subtle feeling.
Sometimes, some of these people's reactions do not conform to normal human emotional logic.
The tour guide stared at Emile for several seconds, and finally compromised: "In this case, I will take you to see the craftsman's house first."
"But I still want to tell you in advance that the craftsman lives in seclusion all year round. If he doesn't want to meet you, you may not be able to meet him."
Having said that, the tour guide turned around and strode forward, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to these tourists at all.
They soon arrived at the place where Mrs. Nick hid the treasure that night. It was late at night and Baili Xin did not see clearly what the stone looked like. Now under the sunlight in the daytime, he could finally see the shape of the stone.
That was not an ordinary stone. When you walked past it, the stone looked like a woman with a big belly.
Although the facial features are blurry, judging from the movements and details, it looks like a woman with her head lowered, gently supporting her belly with both hands.
Baili Xin looked at the stone twice more.
Judging from the location of the secret door, the narrow space is actually right at the belly of the statue.
"Mr. Tour Guide," Baili Xin called to the tour guide in front, "What is the meaning of this stone statue?"
The tour guide followed the direction of Baili Xin's finger and landed on the stone statue. He said with a faint "oh" and replied, "That is the statue of the Virgin Mary."
"Legend has it that when God the Father was born, his mother went through a painful childbirth. Without the Virgin Mary's sacrifice, God the Father would not have been born."
“This stone is carved like this to commemorate the Virgin Mary’s contribution.”
“Speaking of Our Lady, there is another very interesting story.”
"When Father God was young, he once made a wrong judgment. At that time, no one dared to blame Father God, but the Virgin Mary stood up and criticized Father God with her thin and gentle body. Under the strict teachings of the Virgin Mary, Father God gradually became the Lord of Justice in the world."
"Because of this story, people often worship the Virgin Mary as a gentle goddess, and firmly believe that if there is still one person in this world who can change the will of God the Father, that god must be the Virgin Mary."
"There are seven such stones in the Eden Resort. However, as time goes by, some of them have disappeared. Currently, there are only five of this stone statue left. No one knows where the other two are."
Seven seats, five seats, two seats.
Stone statue of the Virgin Mary.
Even higher than the existence of God the Father.
Baili Xin silently kept these words in mind.
The ground was paved with mottled cobblestone paths, which were not easy for a wheelchair to navigate, so Baili Xin carried Gal throughout the entire trip to the back garden.
Gal was wearing a purple dress today. She held Baili Xin's neck tightly with her arms. A faint scent of grass and mint drifted from Gal's body into Baili Xin's nose.
Some of her long golden hair was tied up on top of her head, while some of it was loose and hung by her ears. The breeze blew her hair, and it fell on Baili Xin's cheek.
Another scent wrapped in a faint grass smell drifted into the nose. This smell was different from the usual male hormone smell of Dijia, but it gave Baili Xin a sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before.
Maybe it was because there was a scent of grass and flowers mixed around, the smell he smelled was quite different from the smell he smelled every day.
Another strand of hair blew over and landed on Baili Xin's cheek, making him feel itchy.
He shook his head nonchalantly to let his hair move away from his cheeks, and his eyes moved and happened to fall on the golden hair hidden under the veil of Gal.
Between the layers of blonde hair, a tiny strand of pure white hair can be vaguely seen...
______________________________________________
"This is the craftsman's room, but what a coincidence! You see, this house is locked from the outside, and I don't seem to have the key to the craftsman's room. It seems that we have no chance to visit the craftsman's room."
About half an hour later, the tour guide led them through twists and turns through the lush garden. Just when everyone was about to get dizzy, they finally stopped in front of a house hidden among dense green ivy.
This is a very shabby house. It is hard to imagine that there is such a shabby room in such a luxurious resort.
Hearing that this room was the craftsman's room, Emil quickened his pace, strode to the window and looked inside.
Behind the dirty glass was a dark room.
The ground was made of red bricks and cement, with a few weeds occasionally growing out of the cracks between the red bricks.
The walls were also black, and within the visible range, there were many handmade objects piled up in every corner.
Baili Xin and Hongyue also looked inside.
They slowly and carefully scanned every corner of the craftsman's room in the room. When they were about to see the end, the three of them almost simultaneously saw a strange square piece of cloth abruptly spread on the ground.
It was a piece of black square cloth.
Baili Xin was holding Jiaer in her arms, so it seemed inconvenient, so she could only stand far away and look inside. Just when they noticed the square cloth, Jiaer said lightly, "That cloth
"And he appears to have fainted."
Gal turned around and looked at the tour guide, "Can't we really go in and take a look? Maybe everyone is dead?"
The tour guide still emphasized his reason, "But we don't have the key. Without the key, no room can be opened. This is the rule of the resort."
Baili Xin: "..."
Emile: "Get out of the way! I can kick this broken door open with one kick!"
As he spoke, Emil came to the room angrily and kicked the door.
The force is so great that people believe that even a large iron door can be kicked open.
However, the seemingly shaky door only shook slightly, and even the dust on the wall did not fall off.
On the contrary, Emil was flung away and fell heavily on the grass not far away.
With a dull "bang", Emil instantly let out a scream of pain.
He lay on the ground with a painful expression, holding his chest, and said weakly with a pale face: "I, my ribs seem to be broken, help!"
The crowd who were originally eager to give it a try suddenly became stern and looked vigilantly at the unprepossessing little door.
Tour guide: “Poor guest.”
"I've already said that locked doors can only be opened with keys. Without a key, guests cannot enter any locked room."
Baili Xin: "..."
Keys are required to enter locked rooms, another rule of this resort.
Baili Xin: "Where is the key?"
Tour guide: "The key is in the butler's hand, but the butler took everyone out to call for help, and he took the key with him when he went out. So if you want to open the craftsman's door, you have to wait for the butler to come back."
"But now you can rest assured, right?"
"The fainted man inside is the craftsman, but don't worry about him. He often faints, but he wakes up quickly and continues to work."
"There's no way he could have gotten out without the key."
"Why is the lock locked from the outside?" Mrs. Philanthropist asked, "Did you imprison this poor craftsman? What did he do wrong to make you treat him like this? This is too much. This is too inhumane."
Tour guide: "Please be patient, ma'am. Every time a craftsman creates a work, he will hide himself in a room in order to have a quiet environment. That's why I said at the beginning that craftsmen don't like to see people."
"Our craftsmen are the most dedicated in the world..."
Before the tour guide finished speaking, a hand was tentatively extended in front of him, "This, could it be the key to the craftsman's room? The word 'craftsman' is written on it."
The tour guide opened his mouth wide, staring at the key that the young man handed over. Under the sunlight, the brass key was shining brightly, especially the word "craftsman" on the key handle, which almost blinded the tour guide's eyes.
For the first time, the tour guide's expression was a little out of control.
He turned his stiff neck and looked at the young man, "You...how did you get this key?"
Baili Xin pointed to a corner with an increasingly innocent expression, "I picked it up there. The butler is really a jerk. He is so forgetful. How could he leave the key in a place like this? He is so careless. You must criticize him when he comes back."
Tourist guide:"… "
I do not believe.
Baili Xin tilted his head: "Why? You don't believe it? Do you suspect that a distinguished guest like me stole the key? Well, if you don't believe it, you can bring the supervisor back right now and let me confront him face to face."
"A resort of your caliber would casually slander the morality of its guests?"
In the distance, Emile was still clutching his ribs in pain. "Ouch, my ribs, ouch, are you taking care of me? What a crappy resort, a rubbish resort. The service is not as good as the circus at the top of our town."
The tour guide gritted his teeth and said, "? We are definitely better than the circus!"
He pointed to a servant and said, "Go and get the doctor."
He paused and added: "Please call the best doctor in the resort, no, call all the doctors to me!"
After saying this, he suddenly heard a sudden "creaking" sound, which sounded like a woodpecker stepping on an old broken tree. With a "creaking" sound, the craftsman's room was pushed open.
The guide's pupils shrank rapidly, and his voice was no longer as calm as usual, "You, what are you doing!"
Hongyue just opened the door, put the key into her pocket naturally, raised her eyelids and said casually: "Are you blind? Can't you see that we are opening the door to save people?"
The tour guide was about to open his mouth to speak when Emil behind him exclaimed "Ouch" again.
The tour guide had no choice but to turn around and asked with a frown: "What's wrong?"
Emil stiffened his neck and said, "What else can I do? It hurts."
The tour guide opened his mouth and the sound of footsteps came from behind him again.
He closed his mouth helplessly, turned around again, and found that Hongyue and Baili Xin had walked directly into the craftsman's room.
Tourist guide:"… "
You three, kill me!
My neck is about to be broken because of you.
Playing!
Hongyue took two steps at a time and ran to the black square cloth. When she got closer, Hongyue and Baili Xin could see clearly that it was not a black square cloth, but a black cloak.
The cloaked man.
The man was lying on the ground with his arms behind his back in a very twisted posture.
All ten of his fingers were bent and deformed, severely fractured, and there were obvious thick calluses on the palms and backs of his hands.
Hongyue frowned and quietly dragged the man from the darkness to the sunlight.
The two then realized that the reason the two arms were twisted was because his arms were dislocated at the elbows.
There happened to be a chair in the room. Baili Xin put Gar on the chair and walked up to the man with a sullen face.
There was no rush to reinstall the man's arm. Baili Xin first touched the joint of the dislocated arm and found that the joint had swollen like a bun, and now the arm could not be reinstalled.
Spreading the cloak on the ground, Hongyue and Bailixin looked at each other, carefully separated the man's arms, and turned the man over to face up.
The man's bones are broad, but his body is light.
When they turned it over, they finally saw the man's face.
A face that was expected yet somewhat unexpected.
The man's cheeks were deeply sunken, and his eyes, which were originally very deep, looked even more vulgar because of his thinness.
The lips are dry and mottled, and countless fine lines are spread all over the lips, cheeks and body.
The face was that of Samael, but they could hardly recognize it. The most mysterious man who had once been full of vigor and vitality in the game hall had now turned into a terrifying skeleton with bones sticking to his face.
Hongyue's eyes were instantly filled with anger.
She took two deep breaths and finally managed to control her emotions within her rational range.
Hongyue gently placed her finger on Samael's nose and tried it, but she didn't feel even the faintest breath. Then she placed her finger on Samael's neck. This test lasted for five seconds before she felt a faint pulse.
After confirming the pulse, Hongyue exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "He's still alive."
After Hongyue finished speaking, she looked at Gal lazily leaning on the sofa, then looked at Samael on the ground, and then looked at Emir outside: "..."
Five people, three of them are disabled, it’s like they’re exhausted to death
Baili Xin saw Hongyue's hesitation, and the two of them looked at each other, and then looked at Emile outside in tacit understanding.
At this moment, a large group of people were walking through the lush garden outside.
Seven or eight men in white coats came over carrying stretchers.
The leading man had a full beard. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Where is the patient?"
Hongyue & Bailixin: "..."
You came at the right time.
The tour guide pursed his lips and watched as the doctor carried Samael and Emir away on a stretcher.
They came in great force and left in a hurry.
The tour guide lowered his head silently: "..."
I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’m being tricked, but I don’t know where.
What a strange feeling.
__________________________________________________
Studio.
That's wonderful.
It's all so interconnected that I'm stupefied.
Emile’s great strength made a miracle happen. This kick directly brought a medical team, who were also experts.
Who is that skinny guy? Why do Xin Shen and the others seem so nervous about him? Is he an important NPC? Strange, I have been following the plot, did I miss something
Your question is also my question. I am also curious about who this man is.
Although I don't know who he is, I know he said it very miserably.
It's really miserable. Being tortured into this state, this resort is really not a good place.
__________________________________________________
The tour guide looked at the people's obscure eyes and laughed, "I didn't expect that a craftsman would hurt himself like this in order to create a beautiful work. It's so pitiful. The steward must have locked him up and forgotten about it, but don't worry, we will never lock you up. Even if we lock you up, we will not forget about it. But seeing him like this, he can't even take care of himself. He is definitely not the murderer, don't you think? So let's continue to visit the next place? How about the apple orchard?"
Everyone: “…”
So, will they be locked up
Why do I suddenly feel a little scared
Although they were not able to see the resort owner's room under the guidance of the tour guide, their main goal of rescuing Samael was achieved.
Hongyue and Bailixin did not continue to argue. Bailixin held Jiaer in his arms and followed the tour guide around the garden and came to the apple orchard.
While passing through the apple orchard, Baili Xin saw three more stone statues of the Virgin Mary in the corners of the passage. These statues were almost exactly the same as the first one in size and edges.
There is only one left that has not been found.
As they walked into the apple orchard, Baili Xin, under the cover of Hongyue, walked behind a statue of the Virgin Mary and took a look. As he had guessed, the back of the statue was also hollowed out, with a small secret door.
After confirming that there was a small secret door behind each statue of the Virgin Mary, Baili Xin sneaked back to the back of the team and entered the apple orchard together.
Every leaf in the apple orchard was golden. If they had seen the leaves on the first day, they would have been shocked and filled with greed. But they had seen so many rare treasures in the past few days that when they saw the golden apple trees made of gold, they could only exclaim in admiration.
Baili Xin looked at the time displayed in the system and it was almost twelve o'clock noon.
In the lush apple orchard, people began to disperse.
Baili Xin searched the crowd and soon locked onto his son-in-law.
Time began to pass little by little, and he saw his little daughter being dragged behind an apple tree by his son-in-law and slapped in the face.
The younger daughter did not resist much and obediently allowed her son-in-law to abuse her.
The son-in-law was still not satisfied after the first slap, so he slapped him again.
While beating her, she scolded, "Weren't you very tough yesterday? Didn't you want a divorce? Why did you come back so obediently today? Don't think I'm as deceitful as my elder sister. Don't think I will believe everything you say. I know what kind of person you are very well."
The little daughter was leaning against the apple tree with her back, and from Baili Xin's angle he could only see the expression of his little son-in-law, as well as his somewhat resentful expression.
It is always a little inconvenient to hold Gal in my arms.
He looked down at Jiaer and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Jiaer, can I let you rest here for a while? I have something to do."
There are only five minutes left until 12 o'clock.
Jiaer raised her head and looked at Baili Xin through the veil. She gently lifted the veil and asked a strange question: "Mr. Xin, if I suddenly leave one day, will you miss me?"
Gal was a little strange today.
Baili Xin laughed helplessly, "Ms. Jiaer, you are talking nonsense again. How could you suddenly disappear?"
Gal was silent for two seconds, then asked in an androgynous voice, "What if?"
Baili Xin and Jia Er looked at each other and their expressions became serious: "If you really disappear, believe me, I will find you. No matter where you are, no matter where you are, I will definitely hold your hand and pull you out. You must not let go at that time."
Jia Er looked a little stunned. After a long while, she laughed out loud, "You said it. If that day comes, I'll wait for you to come find me."
________________________________________
The top of the 999-story tower.
The man stared silently at the young man's face that suddenly enlarged on the big screen.
His eyes traced the lines on the young man's face bit by bit, and finally fell on the hair behind his ears.
No matter where I am, will he come and hold my hand
Haha, what a simple and romantic declaration.
The system's voice sounded above my head, "Sir, you haven't been this happy in a long time. Have you thought of something good?"
The man raised his eyelids lazily: I thought of something good.
System: What good news can you share with me
Man: Xiaobawang has collected 4 markers, he is really outstanding and worthy of being the elite created by you.
System: So you are happy about this. We didn't expect him to be so good, but he is still far behind you. I thought you would be dismissive of him, but I didn't expect you to be interested in him. It's our honor.
Man: How can I be so dismissive? I have never seen such a perfect AI like him. If I hadn't known about AI in advance, I would have thought he was just an ordinary human being. However, this AI still has a flaw.
System: What's the flaw
Man: He lacks some emotional system. All he has in his eyes is the desire to win. Such an artificial intelligence without emotions can easily go berserk.
System: Please rest assured, we have already considered this matter. We have installed a self-destruct system in his body. Once we detect his rampage, the self-destruct system will be activated, and he will be blown into pieces in an instant.
The man pursed his lips and said, "So that's how it is. You guys are really thoughtful."
System: Thank you for the compliment~
__________________________________________________
After placing Gar on the ground leaning against the big tree, there were less than 2 minutes left until 12 o'clock.
He found a secluded place and approached his youngest daughter and son-in-law quietly.
The eldest daughter said that she ate a lot of delicious food in her dream and saw the golden room, but if it is just a dream, it cannot affect the real body.
The only possibility is that the eldest daughter opened the golden room through a dream and accidentally made a wish to eat delicious food.
If that was the case, the person she would most likely throw out as a sacrifice would probably be her son-in-law.
The younger daughter is actually a possibility, but she herself is a wish-maker, so it is hard to say whether she can become a sacrifice again.
In addition, it is also intriguing why the youngest daughter did not die last night.
Also, maybe it wasn’t just the eldest daughter who dreamed about the golden room yesterday.
Because at the dinner table, when the eldest daughter mentioned the Golden Room, almost everyone's face changed.
Does that mean that more than one person dreamed of the golden room, but not everyone walked into it
What are the conditions for dreaming about a golden room
Is there enough
I just dreamed of a fog last night. Is it because I don’t have any wishes that I want to fulfill
There are also those stone statues of the Virgin Mary. Although we still don’t know what their function is, the super bonus of “powerful than God the Father” means that this stone statue of the Virgin Mary is destined to be more than a simple decoration.
With one minute left before 12 o'clock, Baili Xin came to a position where he could see his youngest daughter and son-in-law clearly at the same time.
The little girl was leaning against a tree, with a delicate silver watchband on her wrist.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. While she endured the derogatory curses of her son-in-law, her eyes kept looking at the wristband on her wrist.
Son-in-law: "You bitch, you are definitely not innocent. You must have slept with that weak man. I saw it with my own eyes that day, the two of you in the corridor -"
With only half a minute left until twelve o'clock, the youngest daughter suddenly interrupted her son-in-law and asked, "What did you see? Did you see us hugging each other in the corridor, or did you see us kissing?"
The little daughter's voice suddenly became unusually calm and indifferent. "If you want to know the truth so much, wouldn't it be better for you to ask the other party in person?"
The son-in-law was furious: "Didn't the other party disappear a long time ago? Are you cursing me to disappear? Haha, you finally couldn't help it and revealed your true colors?"
There are only ten seconds left in the countdown.
The little daughter smiled with relief. "Normally, in this situation, I should tell you the truth so that you can get rid of your last regret. But why should I tell you? I won't tell you. It will make you anxious to death."
After saying this, the little daughter suddenly started counting: "Five, four..."
Seeing the little daughter's unusual behavior, the son-in-law put away his usual ferocity. He was frightened by his little daughter's state, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he rushed over like crazy, trying to reach out to cover the little daughter's mouth.
The younger daughter was unmoved. When she saw that the older son-in-law was about to touch the younger son-in-law, she said the last word: "Zero."
The moment she said "zero", the son-in-law who had been showing off his power in front of her just now disappeared out of thin air.
It really disappeared out of thin air, without even making a sound.
When he disappeared, it was exactly twelve o'clock noon.
Baili Xin did not leave and continued to look at the little daughter in front of him.
When the younger daughter saw her son-in-law disappear from her sight, she was stunned for a moment, and then she tentatively touched the air for a long time in disbelief.
Only when she was sure that her son-in-law was really gone did she let out a relieved laugh, "He's gone, he's finally gone, that's great."
"I finally don't have to endure the torture of this pervert. I'm finally free, hahahaha."
She turned her head one by one and was met with Baili Xin's scrutinizing gaze.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the little daughter's face was stiffly smiling, making her originally well-behaved and fragile face appear distorted in an instant.
The corners of his mouth were raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, his cheeks were tense, and his facial features were twisted into a knot.
Seeing his little daughter's almost weird expression, Baili Xin's strange feeling rose up from the bottom of his heart again.
This expression stayed on the little daughter's face for a full three seconds before she finally came to her senses and let it go, returning to her usual well-behaved expression.
She walked over in small steps, looked at Baili Xin awkwardly, and said timidly: "You, you saw everything?"
Baili Xin still looked at his little daughter with a scrutinizing gaze, the stars in his eyes flickering and flowing in the mottled golden afterglow.
Seeing that Baili Xin didn't say anything, the younger daughter pulled the other's sleeve with a horrified expression and tried to defend herself: "It wasn't me, I didn't do it. It was my sister. She walked into the golden room in her dream and made a wish to eat delicious food as a sacrifice of my husband. My husband's disappearance has nothing to do with me."
As she spoke, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth without her noticing.
Baili Xin looked at her eldest daughter who was still unaware of what was happening in the distance, and looked directly at her youngest daughter: "You had already guessed that the eldest daughter would enter the Golden Room through a dream? You also know that because of your wish the day before, Mrs. Nick died, the eldest son-in-law disappeared, and you were also a wisher, so the only ones who could be sacrificed were Mr. Nick and your husband. And your sister and Mr. Nick have a deep father-daughter relationship, so the only one who could be sacrificed could be your husband."
"In this way, you and Mr. Nick will be the only ones left in the Nick family."
"is that so?"
The little daughter's well-behaved and fragile expression suddenly froze. She shook her head, trying to deny it, but two seconds later her expression twisted again at a strange angle.
I want to cry and laugh at the same time.
The face, whether to cry or laugh, was tangled together, and each facial feature seemed to have its own thoughts.
The little girl's facial features were tangled: "Yes, you are right."
"I'm jealous of my sister, and I also want my father's favor. As long as my sister is gone, I can enjoy all my father's favor alone."
She paused, then suddenly laughed strangely: "But I'm not a fool. I did this to protect myself. That beast beats me every day. A beast like him should have disappeared long ago."
Baili Xin stared at her little daughter's face, which was twisted with jealousy and hatred, and asked, "I want to know, how did you escape death yesterday?"
The little girl stared at Baili Xin's face and smiled: "I can't tell you."
"Hehe, the more people know about this, the more danger I'll be in."
"Run quickly, don't let it find you, don't let it catch you." The little girl suddenly grabbed Baili's arm nervously, "As long as you run fast enough, you can survive, understand?!"
After she said this, she suddenly screamed and ran away like crazy.
Baili Xin did not relax even after watching his little daughter run away.
He also wanted to see who else had disappeared in the apple orchard.
He returned the same way, intending to take Miss Jiaer away as planned. But when he arrived under the tree where Jiaer was, there was no one there...
