Fern is trying hard to force herself to continue developing the robot, while Barbara is trying hard in the dormitory to convince herself to accept everything now.
When Barbara was alone in the dormitory, she thought carefully about what happened. She was playing with Xiao Zhima just now, but now she was alone. She was really sad. No matter what, it was because of her carelessness that Xiao Zhima disappeared...
At this time, Barbara fell into deep self-blame. If something really happened to Xiao Zhima, she would be held responsible.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Barbara thought anxiously.
Fern hoped that nothing too bad would happen. It seemed that the people from the Demon Cult still had to pay attention to the developments here from time to time before they could feel at ease. Xiaozhima must not speak carelessly. The truth that too much talk will lead to mistakes must be remembered.
Although Fern doesn’t know what kind of problems Xiao Zhima will encounter now, he believes that the smart and clever Xiao Zhima will be fine.
In Fern's heart, Xiao Zhima is like his own baby and is very pampered. In order to help Xiao Zhima grow quickly, Fern has helped him a lot along the way. Fern has always hoped that Xiao Zhima can go smoothly all the time, but he didn't expect that various problems would often arise...
At this moment, Xiao Zhima was having a conversation with the leader. It was obvious from this communication that the leader was very serious. Xiao Zhima was very nervous at the beginning and didn't know what had happened that made him be summoned suddenly.
When he came to the Demon Cult this time, Xiao Zhima felt something very different after he woke up. This time, he was deceived here very rudely without his consent. Xiao Zhima is a smart man and when he noticed this situation, he felt that this was definitely not simple.
Xiao Zhima has only one goal in his mind: no matter what happens, he must not reveal the true relationship between him and Fern.
Xiao Zhima has grown a lot during this period of time, and of course every step forward is inseparable from Fern's help. There are many things in Fern's life that are the same as Xiao Zhima's ideas. Xiao Zhima remembers what Fern told him, that no matter what happens, he must maintain a good attitude and not be too nervous, otherwise he will expose himself.
When Xiao Zhima saw the leader's eyes, he felt really nervous and uneasy, and didn't know how to deal with this sudden interrogation. After constantly adjusting his mentality, Xiao Zhima tried to control his emotions and let nature take its course.
At this moment, Barbara and Fern were both worried about Little Sesame's safety. They didn't know why Little Sesame disappeared again. This disappearance was a bit sudden and must have been decided after a long period of observation.
Fern was waiting for noon to come and wanted to find some trace of Xiao Zhima's disappearance, but it seemed impossible now, because he couldn't leave so easily when the work at hand was not finished yet.
What's more, the research on high-tech products and robots is the result of a long period of preparation. How can it be easily given up? At this juncture, when two equally important things are placed in front of him, it is really difficult for Fern to make a choice.
This is how Fern comforted himself. It was impossible for Xiao Zhima to be taken away by anyone else. At most, it was done by the people from the Demon Cult. All he could do now was to wait patiently for Xiao Zhima's return.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Zhima should be able to come back before dark. If he doesn't come back before dark, something must have happened...
Fern thought of all the situations and considered how to deal with even the worst-case scenarios.
At this moment, Barbara was in no mood at all in the house. She just felt very guilty. It was her fault that she did not take good care of Xiao Zhima. Such a thing happened on the first day she handed him over to her.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this incident has a lot to do with me. How could I be so careless that such a ridiculous thing happened and I lost my life...
Fern must be blaming himself now. He got into such trouble on the second day after arriving here. I really don’t know how I should face Brother Fern in the future.
I originally thought that I came to the Pure Holy Empire to better help Fern, but who would have thought that such an unreliable thing would happen.
It was almost evening time, and Barbara was even more nervous. She really didn't know how to face Fern who was coming back soon. Would he be fine as Fern said? Barbara began to doubt her true feelings and didn't know how to spend the next few days. She couldn't find any good reason to stay here.
When Fern gave me this task, I agreed very firmly, but now I have messed up and I really don't know how to deal with the whole thing.
While Barbara was anxiously waiting for Fern, there was a knock on the door. In order to get Fern's forgiveness, she had already used up all her strength.
"Brother Fern, you're back. I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of Xiao Zhima. I'm sorry." Barbara looked at Fern with a guilty look.
At this moment, after hearing what Barbara said, Fern seemed to think that it was his own responsibility and it was his mistake not to take good care of Xiao Zhima that gave the people from the Demon Cult the opportunity to take advantage.
Speaking of guilt, Fern was the one who felt the most guilty. Little Zhima had been with him for such a long time, but there were very few relaxing days. However, Little Zhima never complained and was always very active in cooperating with him.
"Don't say that. Don't worry, let's wait a little longer. I believe it will come back before dark." Fern looked at Barbara seriously and said.
Barbara couldn't help but shed tears when she heard Fern's words, but she held it back. She should have been stronger at this time. Tears could not solve any problems. Only using a wise brain to think carefully about everything was the best interpretation.
"So what should we do now?" Barbara said hesitantly to Fern.
"Let's wait a little longer. Don't be in a hurry." Fern looked at Barbara seriously and said.
Barbara thought that Fern was still very worried about Xiao Zhima, but she pretended to be calm on the surface. She must be more anxious than she was.
"Okay, Brother Fern, don't worry too much. Although I don't know the specific reason, I believe that Xiao Zhima is a smart person and will come back safely." Barbara looked at Fern seriously and comforted him.
When Fern heard that Barbara was able to enlighten everyone with her heart, she still felt a little warm in her heart. Although she had not been in contact with Xiao Zhima for a long time, this evaluation was still quite high.
No matter what the reason was, Xiao Zhima was once again in the hands of the Demon Cult. I believe this is a scene that no one wants to see, but there is no choice but to accept it...
At this moment, Fern has not told Xiao Zhima his true identity, and for some reason he has become a little hesitant, and he doesn't even know whether he should say it.
Fern considered whether telling the truth would affect Little Sesame's position in Barbara's heart. After careful consideration, Fern decided not to tell Barbara the truth for the time being.
Barbara looked at Fern's thoughtful look and was very confused. She didn't know what Fern was thinking about. Fern promised to tell her the reason when he came back, but why didn't he tell her? Barbara chose to face it with silence. Since Fern must have his reasons, it was better not to ask more questions to avoid embarrassing situations...
"By the way, Barbara, have you noticed anything unusual? Have you sorted out everything here?" Fern asked Barbara very seriously.
"I noticed someone came in through the window. I didn't move anything here." Barbara looked at Fern seriously and answered.
"Okay, let's check it out together now." Fern looked at Barbara with a firm look.
"Okay!" Barbara agreed to Fern readily.
It must have been very hot during the nap, and Xiao Zhima's habit was to sleep facing inward. It was probably because of this reason that the attacker took advantage of the opportunity.
Fern tried hard to use his imagination to restore the scene at that time, but no matter how he thought about it, there was always a place where he was stuck and couldn't continue thinking...
So Fern tried to imagine every scene based on what Barbara had said, closed his eyes, and this time he saw the whole thing happen, and it seemed that all his doubts had disappeared.
"Have you made a lot of progress during this period? I feel your idea is correct." Fern looked at Barbara excitedly and said.
"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Fern. Should we continue waiting?" Barbara said to Fern with an anxious look on her face.
"Yes, I believe it will appear soon." Fern replied firmly.
After imagining what had happened, Fern's guilt seemed to be reduced a little.
Barbara was very nervous and didn't know what to say or do, or how to help Fern. Now it seemed that everything was becoming even more hopeless...
Seeing Fern's depressed look, Barbara felt more and more guilty. It was her fault for making Fern worry and anxious. She really hoped that Xiao Zhima could come back safely soon. Barbara prayed silently.
