Chapter 80 Raymond is a little guy
"And another thing, you don't even have an identity. If you die, there won't even be anyone to avenge you."
Children are just children; they're too naive and will suffer if they trust others too easily.
"Of course! Even if I die, my brother will definitely avenge me. He's incredibly powerful!"
"Your brother? Judging from your appearance, your brother isn't Chinese, is he? It's probably quite difficult for a foreigner to enter our Chinese underground city."
It's not that it's impossible, it's just difficult. But Yu Miaomiao said all this just to get some information out of him. The little boy's behavior and speech didn't seem to indicate that he came from an ordinary family.
"You won't kill me. If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't need to say so much to me. I've been lucky; I haven't encountered many bad people, except for those from the Ni family."
Thinking of Ni Menglu, the boy clenched his fists even tighter.
"I have something else I can trade with you. If you can save Raymond, I'll give you this." The boy pulled a dark stone from his neck.
Yu Miaomiao immediately recognized it as a fragment of a meteorite, which was emitting a pale blue light.
It was exactly the same as the three pieces in Yu Miaomiao's space, except that this small stone was like a tiny fragment of a stone, too small.
The space didn't immediately devour it; perhaps the fly's leg was too thin for the space to notice.
But seeing that the child could produce this, Yu Miaomiao became even more certain that the child's family was definitely not ordinary.
Don't ask why, just use a woman's intuition.
Saving a dog in exchange for a piece of rock fragment—zero cost, so it's not a bad deal, right?
The main reason is to do this little guy a favor, as a way of thanking him for not killing him at the beginning.
To be honest, if he had intended to kill them from the beginning, she, Lu An, and Xu Nanwei would have been half-dead, if not dead. Any damage suffered within the illusion created by the illusion system would have carried over into reality.
"Okay, I agree. By the way, little one, what's your name?"
"I have a Chinese name, my name is Ji Mu."
"Okay, three requirements. If you keep your promise, I will also keep my promise."
First, I'll take you back now, and you must pretend you know nothing about it;
Second, I'll come to rescue your dog within an hour. Your job is to hold off the gardener at the gate. Just keep him out of sight of the back door.
Third, once it's done, this stone is mine. No going back on your word.
"Okay, you must rescue Raymond. He's very well-behaved and doesn't bark."
Yu Miaomiao escorted the boy back to the courtyard. The gardener felt as if he were hallucinating. Hadn't the boy left a while ago? How come he suddenly came back?
However, I didn't investigate further; it's quite normal for these superhumans to appear and disappear unpredictably.
"Uncle, you must be tired. Why don't you go inside and rest for a while? I'll finish the rest of the work for you."
Seeing that Ji Mu was in a better mood, the gardener thought that if he kept the boy busy, he might forget the unpleasant thing that had just happened. It was good, he was tired too.
So he put down the bucket of fertilizer he was using, rubbed his lower back, supported himself on his knees to stand up, and shakily entered the greenhouse next to the vegetable garden.
This makeshift plastic shed is where these workers live.
Ji Mu walked into the vegetable garden, picked up the wooden bucket, and gave an OK sign to the people outside the yard. He didn't actually know what the other person looked like, nor did he know how to notify the people outside the yard that everything was ready.
You can only rely on your intuition.
During this time, Yu Miaomiao had already used her mental energy to explore the villa and determined the dog's approximate location. However, the size of the dog that she saw with her mental energy puzzled her.
Is this dog really a dog?
Never mind that for now, upon seeing Ji Mu's signal, Yu Miaomiao lightly climbed over the courtyard wall, walked along the shadows of the wall to a window on the first floor, observed for a moment, and then climbed in through the window.
Watching all this from the backyard, Ji Mu felt like he was watching an action movie up close.
I can't help but sigh, my brother was right, there really are Bruce Lees everywhere in China.
Yu Miaomiao climbed through the window into a storage room on the first floor. It was filled with all sorts of goods, including dry food, canned goods, and water, but not in large quantities. It was probably not the main storage room, but just a temporary storage place for some items that were used regularly.
Without hesitation, I put it into my storage space; this was a small, unexpected gain.
Ni Menglu provoked trouble twice, and even taking some things from them was too much for them.
The dog's location is also on the first floor, at the corner of the stairs on one side, not far from the back door.
Using his mental power to probe outwards, he saw a person in the corridor outside the storage room, who was probably also a servant, squatting on the ground wiping the floor.
Two people were standing at the bottom of the stairs, chatting.
In this situation, it's quite difficult to get close to the dog and then pet it into the space.
Therefore, Yu Miaomiao decided that it would be simpler to control the dog into the space with her mind, since the dog wouldn't expose her secret if it entered the space anyway.
There's nothing to worry about.
With the help of her mental power, the dog disappeared without anyone noticing at the corner of the stairs and was successfully sneaked into Yu Miaomiao's space, where only an empty dog leash remained.
Yu Miaomiao flashed into the space and stared at the palm-sized, snow-white puppy. This thing was called Raymond.
This little cutie should probably be called a darling or a tiny little thing.
Without time to properly admire the little cutie, Yu Miaomiao flashed out of the space, flipped out of the villa in another leap, and gave Ji Mu an OK sign.
Then they left the villa courtyard by the same route.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Ji Mu continued fertilizing until the entire vegetable garden was watered.
"Uncle, I've finished watering. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."
He called out to the inner room and quickly ran towards the back gate. The gardener uncle came out of the shed.
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Mu."
Before Ji Mu could even reach the gate, the back door of the villa was kicked open again, and Ni Menglu stormed out, rushing up to Ji Mu and demanding, "Where did you hide the dog?"
"What dog? You took my dog away..."
Ji Mu looked completely innocent, then instantly became extremely anxious, his acting was so natural, "You lost my dog? Where did you put Raymond! You have to give me back my dog."
Ji Mu grabbed Ni Menglu by the collar and shook her, as if he wanted to fight her to the death.
Ni Menglu took a few steps back and looked around Ji Mu but couldn't see any trace of the dog. Her gaze was somewhat evasive.
"I didn't, it got lost on its own. I'm warning you, don't lay a hand on me, and get on with what you're told. The dog is lost, but your life is still in our hands."
Even as she left, Ni Menglu didn't forget to threaten Ji Mu one last time.
Seeing that Ji Mu remained silent, Ni Menglu assumed he was scared and left the yard to go back to the villa to find Raymond. She probably still thought the dog had just accidentally broken free of its leash.
The villa is only so big; the dog couldn't possibly open the door and run away by itself. We'll definitely be able to find it.
With these thoughts in mind, Ni Menglu went back to look for the dog.
