Bella and Ling stood at the edge of the Pearl River, and Ling was gazing up at Bella with such
intensity that Bella felt slightly nervous.
“Okay, here goes…”
Click!
Bella, shielding her eyes from the blue light, unlatched the locket.
The blue light spread everywhere, forming a glittering net of protection over the Pearl River
Delta. People gasped as they saw this phenomenon. In just five minutes, hundreds and thousands of people
gathered around the riverside to see lots of glittering blue dust float down to the ground.
Meanwhile, the boss of the factory and the staff were brainwashed. They forgot everything about
their factory. The boss murmured, “I think I’ve gone crazy,” and began to wander while swaying his body
like a leaf falling down a tree. Witnessing such a sight brought fear to the staff and all of them promptly left
the building.
Bella knew that it was time to leave, and she said to Ling,” Just one more thing. Don’t tell anyone
about this, okay?”
“Okay.” Ling promised.
They exchanged farewells, and Bella opened the locket once more, then she disappeared.

Bella was back home and was once glad to see Marty. She avoided her parents and entered her
room, then promptly Googled ‘pearl river delta’ on her laptop. All the information she found were about
the “clean and stunning river of China” and Bella let out a sigh of relief. She would keep this amazing secret
forever and ever.
