As soon as I finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, Amanda came back with a paper bag for breakfast. When he saw me, he handed me the little paper bag. "Let's eat!"

It was only then that I felt like I was hungry. When I took it, I looked into the paper bag and saw two steaming pumpkin pies and a box of yogurt. Breakfast wasn't bad! I immediately sat down on a round chair by the table and drained the bag of food like a whirlwind.

I wiped my mouth with a tissue and smiled at Amanda and said, "Thank you!" With your blessings, I slept especially well last night. ”

"Yes, you can see that you are radiant today!"

……

"You're going back to the Office of Security today, aren't you?!" Amanda's voice was unusually low.

I nodded noncommittally. "It's not too early now, they must have sent someone to pick me up, I guess I'm on my way."

To be honest, I don't want to go back. Now I want to be with my love, Amanda. However, fate always goes the other way.

I sat absentmindedly in a chair by the window, and my mind was lingering. Suddenly, I had an idea, and a thought came to mind. Once it appeared, it never lingered. At this time, the shiny little black spinning top lying quietly on the desk caught my eye, and I reached out and took it.

"Maybe we should study this little thing." I looked up at Amanda, "For now, I can't imagine anything else to do behind those people in the Department of Security Affairs, so I might as well dig deeper into this mysterious spinning top." ”

"Great idea!" Amanda's face was still the same, but his eyes were already full of smiles. "But will the Office of Security Affairs agree? I'm a little worried. ”

"So we have to cut it first." I found an A4 piece of paper and a ballpoint pen, and I made a leave slip by swiping it on my desk.

"I made some new discoveries and was anxious to find out, so I took a leave of absence. Please forgive me for delaying a few days before going back. Let's start investigating the unknown underground secrets that have been unearthed, and let's go our separate ways. ”

I signed my name and handed it to Amanda, who smiled even more when she read the leave slip.

"Does this work?!"

"Whether it's useful or not, let's give the fake slip to the doorman in advance, and then ask the doorman to pass it over to them when the security department officer arrives. By then, it's too late for them to disagree, and we've already slipped away. ”

Amanda thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, that's it. Time is tight, and I can't think of a better way. Rather than leaving you alone, let me and my colleagues work together to solve this mystery. And this little black spinning top is indeed very strange, I pondered it all night, and felt that it was the most suspicious, so we started with it. ”

His words were like a clear spring soaking my parched soul, and a warm current overflowed my heart in an instant. He always shows up in time when I am in danger, what an eye! I smiled gratefully at Amanda. This time the two of us were in a good sense of the same way, and his guess was right in my hands, and I was in line with his idea, and we both tended to this mysterious little spinning top.

"Then let's do it without further ado." Amanda is already jumping on the bandwagon.

So the two of us left Amanda's house and hurried to the heavily guarded main exit. This time we had a good time, and as expected, the guards who had come to pick me up had not yet arrived. I handed the leave slip to the doorman who was standing guard, told him to hand it over to the policeman who had come to pick me up, and went back the way I came.

After a deliberate slow walk for a while, we came to a fork in the road, where there was a good escape route, so we both stopped and looked around, and now there was not a single figure on the narrow fork, so we took the opportunity to climb up a slope made of lush trees. We walked faster and faster, and then we ran at an accelerated pace, Amanda trailing in front of us and I following closely behind.

After a long brace of pace, we finally climbed over the steep slope and stood on a wide flat ground. Suddenly, Amanda stopped walking, turned his head, and said to me solemnly, "It's not okay to go this way. It occurred to me that if they had sent out the hounds, we would have been found soon. ”

"What then?" I'm already a little out of breath.

Amanda pondered for a moment and then said, "We must find another way, come with me!" ”

So we marched along a crooked and broken path to the east, toward the edge of the camp of the Fearless faction. The trail stretches over, with several shallow, winding streams running in front of you.

"Pass through here, be sure to be extra careful. These small streams seem to be as calm as water, but in fact, there is a mystery in them, and their water quality is composed of liquid alkali, and the concentration of liquid alkali is even higher over the years. ”

"Liquid soda?!" I gasped.

"Yes, a dangerous chemical. The main components of liquid soda are sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Among them, sodium hydroxide is usually called caustic soda, or caustic soda, caustic soda. If a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is splashed on the skin, it can corrode the epidermis and cause burns. It has a solubilizing effect on proteins, is strongly irritating and corrosive. Because of its protein-solubilizing effect, alkali burns are less likely to heal than acid burns. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when crossing these creeks. ”

"Can we take a safer path?" I was naturally terrified of this corrosive product, so I was so frightened that I couldn't help but shrink into a ball. Although I really wanted to go back in my heart, but because Amanda was right in front of me, I had to suppress my extreme timidity.

Amanda glanced at me, and he suddenly realized that his words were so factual that they scared me enough. He hurriedly comforted: "Although this road is dangerous, we can still handle it. Just be careful, and you're safe to go. And so far there is only one path I know of, and if I cross this thorny and bumpy path, I will definitely be able to avoid the keen sense of smell of the hounds. ”

He paused, and then said with a smile: "As the saying goes, be careful to make a ship of ten thousand years, but only by being bold and careful can you win steadily, and this is not without provenance." Compared to the natural danger, this place is a small thing. So, don't be too nervous, I'm going ahead, you just follow me. Let's get started! ”

Perhaps it was his pretense that gave me a little comfort in my heart, or perhaps it was his vivid words that gave me the confidence to overcome everything, so I mustered up the courage to follow him and set foot in this forbidden land of mankind.

I followed Amanda's heels, emulating his leaping movements, leaping over the undercurrent stream one after the other. I am only 1.6 meters tall, so I have to jump with all my strength to cross the edge of the stream without splashing.

There was only one last bend left in the stream, but I was timid. The width of this stream was a cut wider than the previous jumps, and it was intimidating. I looked back, and there was no way back.

"Don't be afraid! Surely you can. I'll pick you up right here. Amanda looked at me firmly.

Although it is very entangled, I also know that I can only be caught in the middle now, and no matter what I think, it will definitely be useless.

In the middle of this long stream, it was absolutely impossible to run, so I made a leap into the air with all my strength. It was too late, and I flew over the bubbling stream and planted myself on Amanda's body. The distance I jumped this time was so unexpected that I knocked Amanda on the other side to the ground.

The fall was so hard that I pressed directly on Amanda's body, but Amanda was holding me in her arms and laughing loudly.

"You're amazing! I didn't expect to be able to jump so far, this is your extraordinary potential!" Amanda slowly climbed up as she hugged me, but I was still snuggling into his arms.

Once we got up, we naturally separated. I tried my best to suppress my desire to be embraced by him, and deliberately dusted off my clothes. After a fluke jump, I never dared to look back. Although I have successfully passed this level, the more I think about it, the more scared I become. What would have happened if I hadn't jumped over?! I can't think about it.
