No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"what!"

Wang Tiezhu shouted and then jumped out of the soil in the garden in terror.

Something is pulling my leg!

The group looked around and saw countless pale hands quietly emerging from the ground, ready to pounce.

It turns out that the bones in the ground were not fertilizer.

Little Bear pulled his right leg out with difficulty, took a few steps back, and said with a frustrated expression, "Why does the head maid seem so resentful today? Not only are all the things she arranges designed to kill us, but she also doesn't remind us like she did yesterday?"

"Who knows?" the Overlord muttered. "So who would plant flowers in a place like this?!"

“It probably has to grow on a person.” Snow King pointed to a withered, unidentified flower on an inconspicuous piece of white bone.

"I can't take it anymore!" the tyrant complained.

Just then, the quick-witted gummy bear noticed the change in the surroundings again and alerted everyone.

"Keep your voice down, the maid who's been supervising outside is coming."

The group fell silent and began working diligently, carefully watching the excavator that seemed poised to drag them into the ground at any moment.

I thought the maid would just glance at me and leave, but she walked right over.

A chill ran through them.

what's the situation?

Hopefully they're not here to cause trouble.

What if they waste time and Jiang Shu can't find them?

They pretended not to see the maid, while silently praying that she would leave quickly.

It could be unexpected.

"You can leave now."

"?"

Snow King said warily, "But we haven't finished our work yet."

The maid looked around and then lowered her voice: "Don't worry, I'm one of you. I'll take care of things here for you. You can come back when you're done. This is what the workshop manager told me."

"I see."

The group felt relieved.

It turned out to be Jiang Shu's arrangement.

They quickly put down their tools and ran towards the garden.

But they had just left the garden.

They bumped right into the head maid's attendant, who was in charge of inspecting their work.

This guy gave them a hard time yesterday.

"Damn it!" Overlord cried out in alarm, and immediately tried to let his companion go first while he held off the enemy.

But before he could even speak, he heard the other person say urgently.

"Come with me quickly, I'll take you a shortcut, we're running out of time."

"Wh...what do you mean?" The group was stunned.

"We're all on the same side. It was arranged by the workshop. Please don't take yesterday's incident to heart." Compared to his ugly face of nitpicking yesterday, the henchman was all smiles now and looked like a good person no matter how you looked at him.

"Okay... okay."

So they followed their henchmen and took a shortcut, reaching a small alleyway exit one floor below the workshop as quickly as possible.

The henchman stepped aside to make way for him: "I can't go near the area ahead because of my status. You can walk on your own. Go straight ahead, turn right at the end, and then go up the stairs."

"Ah."

But just as the four of them stepped into the corridor...

A guard wielding a spear suddenly appeared from around the corner on the other side of the destination.

Recalling what the attendant had said, if even maids can't be here, then wouldn't slaves be...?

They turned to run away.

"Wait a minute!" The guard quickly caught up: "I'm one of our own, here to meet you!"

"You're one of us too?!"

“Yes.” The guard nodded. “I owe a favor to a supervisor in the workshop, so he asked me to help him and I came. I will lead you around the other guards. I know the other guards’ patrol routes.”

Several people gasped in shock.

Jiang Shu's power is terrifyingly strong; he can even mobilize the guards!

"Good good!"

Following the guards around, they indeed did not see any other guards, and the group arrived at the upper level without any hindrance.

"That's enough for now. I can't leave my post for too long. Just keep going straight from here on out."

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, it's my duty!" With that, the guard shouldered his spear and walked away with a flourish.

But just as they were heading straight to meet Jiang Shu, they suddenly came to a fork in the road.

"What happened to going straight?"

The group of people who had never been to this floor of the workshop didn't know which way to go.

Just then, they bumped into a white-bearded doll again.

"You're one of us too, right?" Hard Gum Gum had already learned to answer quickly: "Excuse me, how do I get to the Creative Workshop?"

"One of our own?"

The white-bearded doll, which had just emerged from one of the side paths, blinked and smiled.

"I'm one of you. You're going to the creative workshop, right? Let's go together."

Little Bear Gum breathed a sigh of relief: "The arrangements are really thorough, there are our own people everywhere."

The other three were already used to it and were not surprised at all.

So, the chuckling white-bearded doll led the group toward another fork in the road.

Just after they left, the path through which the white-bearded doll had appeared gradually closed off.

The fork in the road disappeared, leaving only a straight road.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Jiang Shu's Clever Ideas

Jiang Shu's figure came into view.

He was sitting cross-legged on a huge wooden wagon.

The truck looked like an armored vehicle with its cannon removed. Its four metal-clad wheels were as tall as a person, and its massive, monster-like size left no doubt that it could crush any obstacle.

Fortunately, the eight tall craftsmen pulling the cart made up for the cart's overly intimidating appearance; anyone with eyes could see that this thing did not have an independent power system.

This is similar to how people might feel intimidated by Ryoko's imposing physique when they face him, but once he takes a few steps, they can discover his humorous nature.

This truck is just big in size.

"You've arrived."

Jiang Shu noticed the four people and quickly beckoned them over.

However, he did not get off the bus himself, because he was going to sneak into the giant stomach with the four of them to secretly carry out their plan.

"The arrangements were very well done; we encountered almost no trouble along the way," Little Bear Hard Candy praised Jiang Shu.

"That's good." Jiang Shu nodded in relief, casting an approving glance at the scissor doll.

The latter smiled slightly and bowed smugly.

The scissors doll was responsible for guiding the four people.

From their first meeting, Jiang Shu noticed that this person had a deep-seated prejudice against big-headed dolls, finding fault with everything and expressing dissatisfaction with them in at least one out of every three sentences.

Jiang Shu didn't understand his true feelings about the big-headed doll at first, because there are many kinds of feelings of dislike, and there is also the possibility of love turning into hate. This kind of complicated feeling is generally called a pair of star-crossed lovers, so he was not sure if the scissor doll would help him.

Fortunately, after testing, Jiang Shu confirmed the reliability of the scissor doll.

In stark contrast to the handsaw doll, the scissors doll desperately wants the big-headed doll dead; it's just too hateful.

The reason for this was that he was a staunch royalist who believed that the doctrines left by the craftsmen were the only orthodox ones, and that craftsmen should be devoted to making fairy tale dolls, rather than doing other miscellaneous things.

Therefore, he was the first person to stand up and explicitly oppose the new directives made by the "big-headed doll" group.

But a craftsman can't outsmart someone who's been in management for years.

During the initial workshop vote, Big Head Doll betrayed Scissors Doll at the last minute, turning it against him. This not only changed the final vote but also humiliated Scissors Doll, leaving him utterly disgraced.

Jiang Shu called it "the change of prying and prying (∠?ω<)⌒★".

In short, after understanding all this, he confidently entrusted the delivery task to the scissors doll, and he also took care of arranging for someone to guide the other four companions.

He didn't even ask Jiang Shu why he did that.

In his opinion, no matter who it is, as long as they have a problem with the Big Head Doll, he will definitely help them out.

This matter was not told to the other supervisors. The spindle doll seemed to have vaguely sensed something was amiss, but he was a neutral party, so he ultimately chose to turn a blind eye.

The hammer doll was a pure human and didn't notice anything unusual.

While the handsaw doll is loyal to Jiang Shu, his attitude towards the big-headed doll is quite subtle. He is considered a left-wing representative in the workshop. To avoid trouble, he is the one who is most secretive and discreet about this operation, even though he has the best relationship with Jiang Shu.

Just as the four of them boarded the car one by one with the help of the scissor doll, Snow King suddenly remembered something and looked back.

"What's wrong?" Wang Tiezhu asked immediately.

"That old man..."

The white-bearded doll disappeared without a trace at some point.

She was still a little worried and asked Jiang Shu, "Did you see a white-bearded doll next to us just now?"

Jiang Shu shook his head: "I didn't see anyone else besides you guys."

“Strange... He was the one who brought us here, but after we saw you, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

"Suddenly disappeared?" Jiang Shu frowned slightly, then asked the scissor doll, "Did you arrange for a white-bearded doll to guide them?"

The scissors doll thought carefully for a moment, then shook its head in confusion: "No...no, I don't remember such a person."

Hmm... could it be...?

A possibility arose in Jiang Shu's mind.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu quickly had someone bring him some design paper and charcoal pencils, and said to Xue Wang, "Draw what that doll looks like for me."

Xue Wang took the paper and pen from the doll from Wang Tiezhu, who hadn't boarded the truck yet. Xue Wang was puzzled. Xiao Xiong Hard Candy and Ba Wang, who had already entered the truck, poked their heads out and looked at Jiang Shu curiously.

Without asking any further questions, Snow King drew a portrait of the white-bearded doll as quickly as possible.

Her sketch was so good that her three companions couldn't find any fault with it and unanimously agreed that it looked exactly like the person they had met.

It was so good that even the craftsmen who often dealt with design drawings were quite surprised.

Scissors Doll glanced at the sketch and guide lines and then beat his chest in frustration, cursing Big Head Doll for wasting talent, saying that such a natural-born artist could be sent to be a slave.

"Don't rush to say that. Have you seen this person before?" Jiang Shu asked expectantly.

The scissors doll took the scrap paper, examined it carefully, and then shook its head: "Never seen it before."

"Never seen it before?" Jiang Shu was somewhat surprised. "That shouldn't be the case."

“The castle is so big, it’s normal that there are many people I don’t know. This person may have been found by someone I arranged. If you are really concerned, Master, I can ask him later.”

"Ok."

Jiang Shu nodded somewhat reluctantly.

I thought it was the old man who couldn't hold back anymore, seeing his legacy about to be taken away, and couldn't help but show himself.

Surprisingly, it wasn't.
