After the others returned, they discussed the specific plan, and then everyone started to implement it.
A day later, a little girl with twisted braids was looking for food in the forest, then was spotted by people who were just about to capture a sacrifice. Delighted, they hadn't been out long before locating the required sacrifice; their luck was truly good.
The leader in a black robe gestured to the people beside him, and they quietly approached the little girl, eventually using a handkerchief soaked with a concoction to knock her out.
In the dusky Shandong cave, after the captors had left and it was confirmed that none of their accomplices were inside, Ruanruan slowly opened her eyes.
The cave was fairly dark, but not so much that nothing could be seen, and she had night vision as well.
