At first he told her to walk along the white birch trees, but after careful consideration, he decided to keep her on the mountain for the time being, so he tampered with the route along the white birch trees. As far as Bob knew, Elsa wouldn't wait there and leave two days later. He had told her the way to leave in advance. Of course she wouldn't keep her promise.
Later, because of his selfish motive, he made marks on the white birch trees, so that Elsa would fall into the fog no matter which way she went. Even if she racked her brain, she couldn't get out, and in the end, she would only go round and round in the same place. Now, Bob seemed to be able to think of Elsa's reaction after finding out that he had lied to her. She should be furious, and could only cry in the end.
After a long time, Brody saw a tinge of emotion appear on Bob's face. On the other hand, he was worried about Tracy. After all, there were many traps here. He didn't know what had happened to her just now.
Thinking of this, he became more and more anxious. This time, his patience was completely worn out because of anxiety. He stared at Bob and said coldly, "Think it over. Your place is not somewhere comfortable. How dangerous she will be when you have left her alone there? Alice used to be there, so nothing will happen. Now your subordinate, the one you value most, is dead."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment. Looking at the gradually changed expression on Bob's, he continued, "Oh, by the way, I haven't told you the truth yet. Is Alice your subordinate? She is dead. I think you should have guessed it, but now I just want to give you the most exact answer. She is absolutely dead, and her tomb is in the biggest cemetery in C City, you can see that Alice is dead after you get there. So you should know better than anyone how dangerous Elsa is when she stays on the mountain alone."
Obviously, Brody's words worked, but Bob didn't change his mind. Brody continued, "If I'm not wrong, you've been away from her for two days, and no one is watching her in these two days. Your people are all here. Of course you can hire a few ordinary people to guard Elsa, but you know what kind of person Elsa is. Those guards don't dare to hurt her because of your order, and she might kill them in anger. Therefore, in order to save trouble, you left her alone on the mountain. I kindly remind you that maybe you should go back now. Maybe she is still alive. She hasn't been in any danger yet. But if you go back too late, she will have no choice but to die in the wilderness." Brody's words finally made Bob panic. He stared at Brody, who was still staring at him quietly. After thinking for a while, Bob frowned and the panic on his face became more obvious. Then he waved at everyone and said, "Let him go. No one is allowed to shoot!"
Bob was staring at Brody with his sharp eyes, and all the people who surrounded Brody with guns retreated. With a serious look on his face, Bob said, "Go. Brody, you are lucky this time. But next time, Elsa won't be my burden, and she won't be your counter. You won't be so lucky next time."
Without hesitation, Bob started to retreat. He put down his gun, turned around and ran out of the lane, fearing that Bob would change his mind. Brody knew that Bob was extremely cruel. Would a woman become his stumbling block? No, maybe Bob would be a little dizzy and hesitant for the time being, but he was definitely a person who was easy to change his mind. The decision he made last second might change the next second. Bob finally got such a chance to deal with him, so Brody didn't think that Bob would let him go so easily.
Running in the corridor, Brody looked around nervously, trying to find out where Tracy was. At this time, Tracy was clinging to the wall at the corner of the corridor. She didn't dare to move.
"Tracy..." Brody shouted in panic.
He hoped that nothing happened to her. His shout just now made him feel that he was still in a state of shock. Just as he finished shouting, a voice came from behind. Brody's face changed. As expected, what he guessed was right. Bob wanted to attack him when he relaxed his vigilance and was off guard.
He sped up and made a sharp turn to hide himself in the corner. However, when he turned around, his body touched something soft. He was surprised. He turned around and saw Tracy standing against the wall. At this time, her face was pale and her panic eyes were staring at him.
