April 1, 2022 at 12:24 PM

Suddenly a man and a woman appeared in front of us, both of whom looked after the creatures of the garden, seemingly carefree. And behind them there is a tree, and the tree bears a lot of fruit.

But as if they could not see us, the young woman sat under the tree and read a book, her sleeves gently blown.

"Hello, may I ask you...," Arthur stepped forward, but stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"Char, they don't seem to see our ....." Arthur said, turning his head to look at me.

In fact, I've noticed that they're just fictitious characters, not real people.

"Is this our final challenge?" I muttered to myself.

I looked at the timer in front of me, and the time was running out....we had to find new clues as soon as possible.

My head started to hurt....the feeling was so familiar....

It felt like there was a force pulling me out of this plane.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

My vision began to blur, and the voice of a middle-aged man kept repeating in my head.

After a while, I felt like I could open my eyes, and in front of me was the table-style chessboard, on which were scattered with black and white chess pieces---- Go.

By the bright light, I saw a middle-aged man sitting across from me, with a serious expression that didn't seem to smile, wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand. It's so familiar and so strange.

The scene before me appeared in front of me again.

He never played chess, and the pieces were picked up in his hand and put back in the box.

Picked it up again...

Put it back again...

Over and over again, I knew that the pieces had finally landed on the board. The nervous look on his face suddenly relaxed.

I didn't play chess.

Is it me or not me? Actually, I don't know.

Just when I was hesitating.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The man said suddenly, in a low and powerful voice.

I raised my right hand, yes I felt like it was me, and although I couldn't control my movements, I knew very well that I was the one who was playing against him.

But just like the spectators, watching them take and drop their children, the rhythm is so fast that people can't breathe. Although I couldn't understand what they were playing now, I knew very well that I was playing well and felt that I had surpassed the middle-aged man. Every time I finished a game, he always looked very difficult, rubbed the sunspot in his hand vigorously, and it didn't take long for him to throw the pieces in his hand into the chess box.

"Good." The man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly. ”

I watched him move the pieces quickly.

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!" The middle-aged man finished and picked up a book on the table.

Wait....I think I've seen this book somewhere.

Just as I was thinking, my head ached again.

When I opened my eyes again, Arthur appeared in front of me, and she looked at me so nervously.

"How... What's wrong? I asked.

"What's wrong! If you look at the timer, we have less than thirty seconds, and if I don't think of a way, I'm going to fail. Arthur said anxiously.

"Zhao Xie, how is it?" I asked out loud.

"No, there are far more than one or two bugs at all, and I don't have time to fix them all." The gnomes are clearly having trouble too.

I had to be in a hurry, I think about it. That book is the key to everything.

At that moment a small snake suddenly appeared in the grass, and it seemed to be talking to the young woman, who quickly put down the book in her hand, plucked the fruit from the tree, and threw it to the man not far away.

Just two people suddenly ran towards each other and hugged each other.

"The challenge is coming to an end! The countdown is underway! Ten, nine, eight..."The tone in my ears suddenly rang.

I looked at the timer in front of me and there were less than 5 seconds left.

Char!! Hurry up and figure it out!! It's too late!! Arthur shouted beside me.

"Damn! How so! The dwarf said resentfully.

Wait, all of a sudden, that book popped up in my head--- the Bible

Since we entered this challenge, almost all of the scenes have been in line with those in the Bible. Bishon: The name of the first stream is Bethan, which encircles all the land of Havilah. There is gold there. Gihon: The second river is called Gihon, and it is about all the land of Ethiopia. Hedekiel: The third river was called Hedezekiel and flowed east of Assyria. Eula: The fourth river is the Euphrates. The four rivers that appear before us are exactly what the Bible mentions.

So what you see now is inextricably linked to the Bible, and it was at this moment that I suddenly noticed the book that the woman had placed on the grass was called "The Garden of Eden"!

I finally understood that the two people who appeared before our eyes were the same as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Adam and Eve? I suddenly realized that combining the names of the two was not exactly my name---Char!

"Three....two....", the tone will soon complete the countdown.

Is this just a coincidence? But I don't have that much time to think about it now. I said my name out loud "Char!! ”

"Right, the challenge is successful!" These words suddenly appeared on the screen, and I was very baffled.

I hurriedly took off my helmet, looked at the dazed gnomes and Arthur, and said, "We succeeded?" “

"Just as you were saying the answer, the computer suddenly shut down automatically." The dwarf said.

Just when we were at a loss, the computer screen lit up again, and the words "Junior Detective Corps" appeared on the screen.

Zhao Xie, Char, Arthur:

Congratulations on completing the challenge given to you by the Junior Detectives. You did not disappoint us.

Of course, you must be very concerned about the important thing that I took away now, in fact, I have always asked the manager of the dessert shop to take good care of this thing, and once you complete the challenge, she will return it to Zhao.

Thank you again for a great performance.

Gifted boy, respectfully.

Thank you.

"Wait a minute, you see that there seems to be a small word "we" behind this genius boy. Arthur noticed this detail that we had overlooked.

I hurriedly asked the dwarf to take out the previous letterhead, and sure enough, there was also a small word "we" behind the genius boy.

"What the hell is going on?" The gnomes were completely confused.

At this moment, the gnome's cell phone rang as well. Xie Wanying's voice came from the phone: "Huh? Zhao Xie, what's wrong? I just found out that you called me so much? Is there anything important? ”

"I've been calling you for a long time, why don't you listen?" The dwarf asked rhetorically.

"Didn't I tell you I was going on a week trip to Africa?" Xie Wanying said.

"Brigade...... Tourism? When did you say that? "It's like the gnome doesn't know anything about the situation.

"I'm sure you were there studying your program when I called to tell you, so I forgot." Xie Wanying was a little angry.

"I...."Before the dwarf could explain something, the other party's phone had already hung up.

"Well, it seems I was mistaken....the gnome looked at me and smiled awkwardly.

"I'm glad you were able to complete the test, and the kids asked me to give this to you." The manager returned the thing to the gnome.

Only then did the dwarf realize that the so-called important thing was just a computer accessory for him.

Along with the computer accessories is a photo titled: "Sherlock Holmes Jr."

The dwarf picked up the photo, and the photo seemed to capture Xiaoyu and her detective team friends smiling happily as they compared to scissorhands.

"Ah, yes, no wonder I think it's strange that this letter is written about Mr. Zhao Xie, not Mr. Zheng Xu, and the last hint turned out to be Char's name. It turned out to be Xiaoyu's prank. Arthur said, taking the letter in his hand and looking at it.

I looked at the calendar on my computer, and it clearly said April 1, 2022.

"It turns out that today is April Fool's Day, it seems that this must be a joke made by Xiaoyu and us." I said.

"No wonder, the traces on this letter are hot chocolate, Xiaoyu's favorite is hot chocolate, she must have deliberately knocked it over on the letterhead, and Deland College, isn't it the elementary school where Xiaoyu is located?" Only then does the gnome realize that this challenge is nothing more than Xiaoyu's prank. "Xiaoyu, this guy! Don't let me catch her! Otherwise...... Otherwise......! ”

"What else do you want?" As an older brother, I must stand up at this time, and I am very domineering in front of the dwarf.

The dwarf looked at my "tall and mighty" image and suddenly fell, and said without confidence: "I...... I...... I'm going to have to snatch all her desserts......"

Arthur and I almost burst out laughing.

"Well, the kids said that you haven't been happy lately, so I asked me to help you prepare the location for this 'challenge'. Now that you've all completed the so-called challenge, let's go back to the dessert shop and grab a bite to eat, and all your food for today counts as mine. The store manager said with a smile.

"Xiaoyu just wants us to forget some troubles for a while, and it can be regarded as well-intentioned. Do we have to thank her? I said.

Yes, sometimes we all feel so tired that we don't know where the future of words is. I looked at Arthur and didn't know what to say.

[4] The legend of the Garden of Eden, the creation of man in a combined atlas, is God's last and holiest work. In the beginning, before the rain fell from the sky, there was a mist on the earth that was steaming, growing plants and moistening the earth. God created man out of clay, breathed the breath of life into his nose, and created a living soul. God named him Adam. But Adam was lonely at that time, and God determined to create a mate for him, so he put him to sleep, took off one of his ribs while he was sleeping, and put the flesh together. God created a woman out of this rib and named her Eve.

The meaning of Adam is "dust", which means that man comes from dust, and the meaning of Eve is "ribs". They are the beginning of human life in the legends of Middle Eastern and Western people, the original father and mother of mankind, and the first ancestor of mankind.

In Eden in the East, God created a paradise for Adam and Eve. The ground was sprinkled with gold, pearls, and red agate, and all kinds of trees grew out of the ground, and all kinds of strange flowers and flowers bloomed, which were very beautiful; The fruit from the tree can also be used as food. In the garden there is also the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There is also a river flowing in the garden, moistening the earth. The river divides into four streams that surround Eden: the first, called Bison, encircles all the land of Hafatrah; The second river was called Gihon, which encircled all the land of Ethiopia. The third river, called Hedekiel, flowed beside Assyria; The fourth river is the Euphra. As a gift from God, it does not rain but the grain is abundant.

God gave Adam and Eve to live in the Garden of Eden and to repair and guard it. God commanded them: "You may eat freely from every tree in the garden." But you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat of it you will die. “

In this way, they lived happily in the Garden of Eden, performing the work assigned by God.

[2] The Garden of Eden is a paradise on earth, and according to the Bible, the Old Testament, and the Book of Genesis, God Yahweh created the human ancestor Adam in His own image, and then created the woman Eve from one of Adam's ribs, and placed the first man and woman to live in the Garden of Eden.

The Garden of Eden in the original Bible means paradise. The Bible records the Garden of Eden in the East, and the poet Alighelli Dante's Divine Comedy places the Garden of Eden at the top of the Purgatory Mountain. Four rivers flowed out of the Land of Eden and ran into the Garden: the Euphrates, the Tigris, Gihon, and Bison.

The ancestors of mankind were exiled by God for stealing the forbidden fruit for their original sin, a feat known as Paradise Lost. Correspondingly, after the Last Judgment, humanity is redeemed and returns to Paradise, which is called Paradise Regained
