I explored more deep into the museum. There was info of how the fire started. They weren't sure. “It was a fight
between the British and the natives we believe. But we have a second answer, It might have been an accident.” It was
a fight between the natives and the British, so that’s why the older residents have been angry the whole time.
I continued exploring deeper into the museum, i found out what materials started the fire. It were just sticks and a
match. Who knew it would start such a big fire, and kill 1,000 people! I also found out who they believe started the
fire. Hua Ming, the head of a terrorist group in China. Everyone knew her, and it was my job to stop her in 20 days.
Which side was she helping? The British, or the natives. “The British!” I thought, because she had a english
background.”
I spent my next 28 days like this, visiting the museums a few more times and visiting the real site of the fire. I was ready
to go back to my own time, and stop this disaster!
It was a full moon on November 28 2016, I was ready to travel back to my home. At 7:00pm, I stepped into the same
building, the same toilet, and waited. The warrior was there again. “Thank you for completing your mission! I am
really proud of you and your next mission is to go back to your own time and stop this disaster!” She disappeared, and
I stepped outside. I was back in my own time, and it had only past 1 minute since I left. I was so relieved, now I was
ready to stop this disaster!
I was ready to go find Hua Ming and stop this fire in 19 days. I started planning. People always say they find Hua Ming
in Yan’an Road. That was only 5 minutes away from where I lived! I would go there and stop her right before the day
of the fire. I would also first build a good relationship with her. I would say I was a businessman’s assistant, and “the
company” wanted to help her. Then I would arrange meetings with her on the 19th and 20th, and stop her right that
second. I would start the mission next morning!
It was November 2nd, 1947, and I was ready to take on the mission! I walked up to Yan’an Road and was ready to face
Hua Ming. I asked other people for the way. They knew the way, but they kept saying this. “You shouldn’t go there, she
is a really evil person! She could destroy you in a second!” But I was determined, so I carried on.
I was at the front door. I knocked on the door. No one answered. I knocked once more. Someone came to the door,
and asked, “Excuse me young lady, how may I help you?” I said, “I am the assistant of the famous businessman, Ting
Hua, and he would like to help Hua Ming in her business. May I come in?” He let me in, and lead the way to Ms. Hua
Ming.
Hua Ming welcomed me, and said,
“We are very happy that someone is partnering with us! What projects would your boss like?”
“He doesn't really need any projects, he just wants me to help you!” I exclaimed.
“That’s good. I would like you to help me in the NanXi Street project. Would you be happy to come to my office on
the 19th and 20th?” She said. I agreed, and I ticked of step 1.
On the 19th, I met Hua Ming, she was really excited to see me. She explained more deeply into the NanXi street
project. I felt like she was hiding something, a really important detail. Then she said, “I’m going to burn NanXi!”
