摩比神探之魔王之玉-17(大結局)

起初,孝恩不理解香爐的用意,心想:「據我所知,點香是為了召喚。可是咱們不需要召喚任何東西呀!」

然而,過了一段時間後,孝恩終於懂了。布萊開始唸咒後,孝恩發現整個旅館的冤魂都一一聚集過來了。殭屍道士突然出招,對布萊施展了魔法。好險布萊早有準備,高舉手上的念珠形成了一個隱形的結界,順利將道士的魔法反彈了回去。這時,越來越多的鬼魂聚集了過來,並且圍在道士旁邊,將其困住了。

「你在幹嘛?趕緊攻擊他呀!」朴先生喊道。

然而,一切的攻擊都沒用。因為那些曾經被道士害死之人的冤魂已經包圍了他,並且抓住他的手腳,讓他動彈不得。

「原來,這就是布萊說的救兵啊!」傑佛瑞站在一旁心想。

Playmobil Detectives: The Demon's Jade-17 (Final Ending)

 At first, Shaun was unable to comprehend the use of the incense. "As far as I am aware, incense is used to summon something," thought Shaun. "But it's not necessary to summon the wizard's mummy, as he is already here."

Nevertheless, as time drew on, Shaun began to understand Blythe's ritual. After Blythe began to chant a spell, Shaun noticed that the spirits of the dead which he had perceived inside the hotel began to gather together one by one. 

Without warning, the wizard casted a spell and aimed it directly at Blythe. Immediately, Blythe held out her prayer beads and an invisible shield formed around her, reflecting off the wizard's spell. All this while, Blythe never stopped chanting her spell and more and more ghosts started to fly out from the hotel to gather around the wizard, forming a circle of barrier around him. 

"What are you doing? Attack her!" shouted Mr Park in Korean. 

Nevertheless, it was all in vain. The wizard's mummy was by now completely surrounded by the spirits of the people whom he had killed in his past life. The spirits grabbed hold of the mummy's limbs so the latter was unable to move no matter how hard he tried.

孝恩、傑佛瑞和布萊穿過那扇小門並走上樓梯後,發現自己來到了地面。他們看見朴先生的身影站在旅館的門口,身旁站著一個穿著黑色韓服、留著長鬍子的人。

突然,一片烏雲遮住了陽光。彷彿夜晚來臨了一般,大家陷入了一片漆黑。一陣強烈的怪風吹了過來,把樹木吹得東倒西歪。忽然,一陣閃電擊中了一旁的椰子樹,椰子樹瞬間著火了!

「啊!」有如世界末日般,淒厲的慘叫聲伴隨著濃霧在空氣中瀰漫著。這時,有人指向遠方。神探轉身一望後,被嚇得目瞪口呆。原來,一片巨大的海嘯正從遠方的海域以驚人的速度朝著海邊逼近。

「天哪!現在該怎麼辦哪?怎麼感覺好像末日電影的情節喔!」傑佛瑞有些興奮地說。

Playmobil Detectives: The Demon's Jade-16

After following Jeffrey through the secret passage, the detectives and Blythe discovered themselves emerging from a trapdoor hidden by some bushes at the front of the hotel. Soon, they perceived the familiar figure of Mr Park standing by the entrance, beside whom stood a pale figure wearing a black, traditional Korean hanbok, with a long beard and hair tied into a bun. 

"Hahahaha! It's ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!" laughed Mr Park as he looked proudly at his own handiwork. Oh no! The evil wizard's mummy had been resurrected! 

Obstructing the warm rays of sunshine, grey, cumbersome clouds began to rapidly gather across the sky. Immediately, they were plunged into total darkness, as if night had befallen prematurely. Lightning flashed violently across the sky, while strong gusts of wind blew destructively across the garden. Without warning, a coconut tree was hit by a flash of lightning and instantaneously bursted into flames. 

"Ahhh!" The thrill sound of people screaming filled the air, which was chill and vibrant with rich tension as large droplets of rain began pelting down. All of a sudden, the detectives noticed people pointing towards the far distance, but they couldn't make out what they were saying. Whirling around, the detectives were aghast to discover that behind them at the coastal area, the tide was beginning to gather up to form an enormous tsunami wave, which was moving towards the beach at a shocking speed.

"Holy Molly, what do we do now? It feels like an apocalypse!" exclaimed Jeffrey at the top of his voice in order to be heard among the deafening background noises.

孝恩和布萊抵達旅館後,布萊將行李放在她的房間。

「我們得先找到阿傑!」布萊說。「我有預感一定是阿傑無意間發現了朴先生的秘密,所以被他綁架了。可是我覺得朴先生應該不會對阿傑怎樣!」

「妳瞅!那就是先前阿傑跟蹤的鬼魂!」孝恩指著一個魂魄說。「跟著他,說不定他能帶咱們找到阿傑!」

於是,孝恩和布萊一路跟著鬼魂來到了先前的古井。

「這看起來好深哪!」孝恩瞄了一眼後說。「阿傑是怎麼下去的啊?」

「嫑擔心,我從台灣帶了條繩子來!」布萊將繩子的一端綁在一棵堅固的樹幹上,並沿著繩子爬了下去。

After Shaun and Blythe arrived at the haunted hotel, Blythe left her luggage in her hotel room. 

"We have to find Jeff first," said Blythe. "I have a hunch that Jeff has somehow discovered Mr Park's secret, so Mr Park had kidnapped him. But I don't think Mr Park will do any harm to Jeff."

"Look, that was the ghost Jeff followed before he disappeared," exclaimed Shaun as he spotted the spirit again. "Let's follow it. Perhaps he'll lead us to Jeff."

Following the same ghost that had led Jeffrey to Mr Park's secret study, Shaun and Blythe arrived at the old abandoned well in the deserted region of the hotel's back garden. 

"This looks very deep," exclaimed Shaun as he peered into the well. "How did Jeff get down there?"

"Don't worry, I've got a rope," answered Blythe as she tied one end to a tree. Then, they took it in turns climbing down the well using the rope.

孝恩驚覺有人要進來房間後,趕緊四處張望了一番,並且鎖定位在角落的大衣櫥。孝恩趕緊衝過去,打開衣櫥的門並且躲了進去。正當孝恩才剛關上衣櫃的門時,他就從門縫窺視到朴先生走進了房間。朴先生在房間裏東翻西找,不知在找些什麼。笑恩屏住呼吸,深怕被發現。

「XX的,那本該死的書去哪兒了?」朴先生用韓語罵道。「我記得我明明擺在桌上啊!」事實上,朴先生在找的就是孝恩最後翻閱的那本書。孝恩在慌亂之中竟然把那本書一起帶進衣櫃裡了!

After having discovered that someone was about to enter the room, Shaun quickly glanced around and his eyes rested on a large wardrobe on the far side of the room. As agile as a cat, Shaun dashed across the room, opened the door of the wardrobe and hid inside. Just when Shaun had barely closed the door of the wardrobe, he perceived the sound of the hotel room door opening. Peering from a tiny crack of the wardrobe door, Shaun perceived Mr Park entering the room, flicking through his books and appearing to be searching for something. Shaun could hear his own heartbeat thudding deafeningly like a stampede of buffaloes as he tried his best to quieten his own sound of breathing. 

"Shibal, where has the damned book gone?" cursed the frustrated Mr Park in Korean. "I remember I left it on my desk." In fact, Shaun had grabbed hold of the ancient manuscript and brought it with him inside the wardrobe.

傑佛瑞失蹤了約一小時後,孝恩便感到不對勁,開始擔心他是否遭遇了不測。於是,孝恩便開始跟蹤其他的鬼魂。正當孝恩準備與鬼魂溝通時,無意間發現自己觸碰到鬼魂後,竟然可以進入鬼魂的回憶裡。孝恩在鬼魂的回憶裡看到他生前竟然是個孩子,因家境清寒,父母不得已,將他賣給了一位道士。邪惡的道士專門收購小孩來做人體實驗,以便測試自己的黑巫術。最終,小男孩被殘忍的實驗凌虐致死,才會化成冤魂,在這世上徘徊。從鬼魂的回憶裡掙脫後的孝恩彷彿深入其境,同情地淚流滿面,

「原來,這些鬼魂的行為舉止之所以會這麼的幼稚是因為他們生前都還只是些孩子。欲將他們的冤魂化解,必須先找到那個道士。」孝恩想道。「等等,我怎麼覺得這道士的臉特別面熟?難道,我在哪兒見過?不對,這不可能!道士應該在幾百年前就不在這世上了!」

經過了一番仔細地思考後,孝恩突然想到了一張與道士極其相似的臉孔。「記者朴先生!他跟那個孩子記憶裡的道士長得也太像了!只是一個是穿古裝,一個是穿現代服!我之前就總覺得這個人怪怪的。我必須好好查查他與這起事件的關聯性!」

A couple of hours after Jeffrey's apparent disappearance, Shaun, who already had a hunch that something was amiss before, was now completely certain that Jeffrey had encountered some danger. Therefore, after locating one of the spirits, Shaun quickly followed it and was about to communicate with the ghost when his hand accidentally touched its figure. 

Without warning, Shaun was plunged into the past memories of the ghost, who had been a mere child of ten years old before his death. The boy's family was too poor, so his parents had sold him to an evil wizard, who performed cruel experiments involving black magic on the poor boy. Eventually, the boy died after being tortured by the wizard in a sinister ritual to summon the dead. 

Waking up from the trance consisted of the ghost's past memories, Shaun's face was full of tears and his heart ached with pity.

"Gosh! I didn't realise that the reason why the actions of these ghosts were so childish was because they were mere kids before they died," thought Shaun. "In order to free their spirits, we have to find that wicked wizard."

"Wait, is it just me, or does that wicked wizard look somehow familiar? Where have I seen a familiar face before? But how is that possible? Surely, the wizard must have died several hundreds of years ago." After some thorough examination, Shaun suddenly realised where exactly he had perceived a similar appearance to the wizard. "Mr. Park! He looks almost identical to the wizard! I have a hunch he's up to no good. But I'll need solid proof before I start accusing him."

依照國王的指令,天朝的道士打敗朴古集後,將其血抽乾,並用其鮮血來浸泡一塊靈玉。然後,朴古集的身體被做成了木乃伊,放入了貼滿符咒的棺材,防止它之後化為殭屍逃跑。之後,天朝的道士將那些被朴古集所殺害的冤魂們封印在一棵位於朴古集家中院子的椰子樹,並帶著那塊吸飽血的玉回到了天朝。

 In accordance with the King's command, after defeating the evil wizard Park, the Taoist priest sucked out all of Park's blood and soaked a piece of jade with the blood. Then, the priest mummified Park's body and buried it in a coffin covered with magic charms so that even if Park became a zombie, he would not be able to escape. Afterwards, the Taoist priest sealed the spirits of the people that had been cruelly killed by Park by sticking a charm on a coconut tree inside the garden of Park's house and took the jade soaked with Park's blood away with him back to China.

傑佛瑞緩緩地睜開眼睛後,發現自己的雙手被牢牢地綁在背後。

「我在哪兒?我怎麼會在這兒?」傑佛瑞撫著陣痛的頭,心想。記憶漸漸地恢復後,他很快地想起了被打暈前所發生的事。突然,他聽到身後傳來腳步聲,還有門被打開的聲音。頓時,他的眼睛被一道強光刺到睜不開。

「咱們又碰面了,多諾溫先生!你好嗎?」一個熟悉的聲音說。

「朴先生!」傑佛瑞立刻認出聲音後說。「謝天謝地,你來了!請趕緊幫我鬆綁吧!」

這時,傑佛瑞的眼睛漸漸地適應了強光後,隱約看見朴先生歪著嘴,露出了詭異的笑容,並且手上掛著紅玉項鍊。

「等等,你為什麼沒有嚇一跳我被綁起來了?莫非,就是你把我打暈,然後綁在這兒的?」傑佛瑞質問道。

「賓果!」朴先生邪惡地笑著說。「不錯嘛!不愧是神探!哈哈哈哈!」

「你拿著莎江太太的項鍊做什麼?難道就是你偷走的?」傑佛瑞問道。「還有,你跟那些恐怖的古書又有什麼關係?」

「我想,你這麼優秀的偵探應該早已經破案了吧?」朴先生冷笑著說。「這樣吧,咱們來玩個小遊戲;我再透露一些信息給你,看你能不能破案。反正,你已經知道太多了,我最終還是得把你給處理掉的。不如在你死前,我就滿足一下你的好奇心吧!哈哈哈哈!」

Slowly opening his eyes, Jeffrey discovered that his hands were tied up from behind. 

"Where am I? How did I get here?" thought Jeffrey whilst touching his aching head. Then, gradually, his memory came back to him and he recalled the horrific manuscripts he had been perusing just before he became unconscious. 

Suddenly, he perceived footsteps, and the creak of a door opening in the near distance. Then, a blinding light was shone into the room, which made Jeffrey cover his eyes.

"Glad to see you again, Mr. Donovan! I hope you are well?" A voice spoke.

"Mr Park!” exclaimed Jeffrey, who immediately recognised the familiar voice of the man they met in the dining hall. "Thank god you're here! Please help me out of this awkward position!"

By this time, his eyes were already accustomed to the light, and Jeffrey could see clearly Mr Park standing in front of them, with a crooked smile on his face, holding a necklace with a dangling red jade on his hand.

"Wait a sec, why aren't you surprised to see me tied up? You're not here to help me, are you? You're the one that tied me up!" deduced Jeffrey. 

"Bingo!" laughed Mr Park sinisterly. "Not bad! Mr Great Detective! Hahahaha!"

"Wait, is that Madame Sadjian's necklace? Why do you have it?" asked Jeffrey. "And why do you have all those horrific books?"

"I thought you're such a great detective, you should've had it all figured out ages ago, right?" smirked Mr Park. "You know too much of my secret already, so I am gonna have to get rid of you anyways. There's no point in concealing the rest of the secret from you. I will satisfy your curiosity and won't let you die ignorant, you curious cat. Hahahaha!"

當傑佛瑞的雙眼漸漸地適應了微弱的光線後,他赫然發現遠方閃爍的燈光是從一扇木門的門縫裏透出來的。傑佛瑞趕緊站了起來,並朝著木門的方向走去。他用盡全身的力氣推開了沉重的木門。

 As Jeffrey's eyes gradually grew accustomed to the dark room, he discovered that the flickering light he had perceived appeared to be seeping out from the cracks of a wooden door with a metal lock. He quickly got up on his feet and walked towards the door. Like some wild animal being slaughtered, the hinges screeched deafeningly as Jeffrey used all his might to pull open the cumbersome door.

在旅館的房間看見鬼魂後,傑佛瑞決定跟蹤他,看能不能發現什麼蛛絲馬跡。傑佛瑞衝出房間後,正好看見鬼魂拐了一個彎。當他追上後,傑佛瑞驚見鬼魂飄下樓梯。傑佛瑞一路跟著幽靈來到了旅館廢棄的後花園。正當傑佛瑞以為自己跟丟了時,他用餘光瞄到了鬼魂飄進了一旁的古井。

 After perceiving the ghostly figure inside their hotel room, Jeffrey decided to pursue the ghost in order to discover more about the secret behind this mysterious hotel. Following the ghost, Jeffrey dashed out of the room and nearly lost sight of it until he caught a quick glimpse of the transparent figure gliding down the staircase. Jeffrey followed the spirit all the way downstairs into a deserted part of the hotel's back garden. Just when he thought that he had lost sight of it again, Jeffrey turned a corner and was just in time to catch a glimpse of the ghost entering an old well.

「蒂芬尼,妳在哪裡?發生什麼事?」傑瑞接起電話後趕緊問道。

「小傑,趕快來櫃檯找我!我需要你的幫助!」蒂芬尼說畢,便立刻掛斷了電話。

神探們擔憂蒂芬尼的安危,立刻衝到旅館的櫃檯,卻發現蒂芬尼安然無恙地站在櫃檯後面、翻著白眼。

「蒂芬尼,怎麼了?出啥事兒了?」孝恩問道。

「吼,我沒事啦!是那個人有事!」蒂芬尼指向一對法國夫婦說。「那個莎江太太說她的紅玉項鍊不見了。然後一口咬定說是被鬼偷走了,因為項鍊不見的時候,她人一直待在房間裏。吼~她真的有夠盧的誒!我就跟她講過好幾遍這間飯店沒有鬧鬼,她就是不信!唉唷,小傑,幫我處理一下啦!跟那個番婆講這間旅館沒有鬼啦!」

「剛剛在餐廳裏發生過那樣的事情後,咱們可不敢隨便掛保證了!」孝恩說完便馬上敘述了一遍剛才發生的事情。

「孝恩,你說得對!這件事情比我想像地還要嚴重!」傑佛瑞若有所思地說。「如果我們不儘早破案,恐怕旅館所有的客人都會被嚇跑了!」

 "Tiffany, where are you? What's going on?" enquired Jeffrey after picking up Tiffany's call. 

"Jeffie, come to the reception now! I need your help!" exclaimed Tiffany, after which she hung up. 

Fearing Tiffany's safety, the detectives dashed downstairs and arrived at the lobby, only to discover that Tiffany was safe and sound, standing behind the reception counter, rolling her eyes. 

"Tiffany, are you okay?" asked Shaun. 

"Well, I'm fine! But they're not!" answered Tiffany whilst referring to a French couple standing in front of the reception counter, who had their eyebrows knitted and hands crossed. "Apparently, Madame Sadjian claimed that she lost her necklace, which has got a piece of red jade on it. She kept insisting that it's been stolen by a ghost, 'cause she was in her room the whole time before and after it went missing. OMG, she is soooo stubborn! I've legit been telling her there're no ghosts in this hotel for the past thirty minutes and she still doesn't believe me."

"Well, I have to admit that, after what happened in the dining hall just now, we're not entirely surprised to hear this," responded Shaun before he started to recount their encounters whilst Tiffany was absent. 

"Shaun, you're absolutely right! This is way more serious than I'd thought," declared Jeffrey pensively. "We've gotta solve this mystery before all the guests are frightened away!"

孝恩和傑佛瑞正在享用晚餐時,突然聽到一陣淒厲的尖叫聲從後方傳出。轉身一望,他們赫然發現餐廳其他的客人都靜止不動、嘴巴張得大大的,看著夾菜區。原來,他們看到餐盤、碟子及刀叉正自己在空中飄浮著。擁有靈異體質的孝恩和傑佛瑞立刻看見了是幾個鬼魂在搞鬼。大夥過了片刻後才回過神來,倉惶地趕緊逃離餐廳。

「發生了什麼事?」傑佛瑞小聲地問孝恩說。「我們初到這間旅館時,並沒有察覺有什麼異樣啊!怎麼突然就鬧鬼了呢?」

「估計是那張符咒!」孝恩斷言道。「每張符咒都有自己的作用,很可能是蒂芬尼無意間將其從樹上撕掉後,解除了某種封印,將這些鬼魂們釋放了出來。」

「要把這些鬼魂趕走,我們得好好研究一下這間旅館的歷史,以及這些鬼魂與這旅館的關聯!」傑佛瑞說。

「沒錯!而且,咱們也必須查出這些鬼魂生前的身份!」孝恩答道。「咱們可以問問蒂芬尼。她爸爸是旅館的大股東,說不定知道些其中的內幕消息。對了,蒂芬尼去哪兒了?」

「我記得她大概半小時前跟我說要去廁所,」傑佛瑞回答說。「這就怪了!她怎麼去這麼久啊?」

 Shaun and Jeffrey were happily enjoying their buffet dinner whilst chatting about their previous cases when they heard a shrill scream coming from behind them. Turning around, they perceived that the rest of the customers in the dining hall were all motionless, staring with their mouths wide open towards the buffet area, where they saw trays, plates and cutlery appearing to float in mid-air. In fact, Shaun and Jeffrey, who had supernatural abilities, spotted several ghosts carrying the trays and dishes around, having a great time. Only after a few minutes did people begin to come to their senses and dashed out of the dining hall whilst others were so petrified that they appeared to be rooted to the spot. 

"What happened?" whispered Jeffrey to Shaun. "I don't remember sensing any ghosts when we first entered the hotel."

"It must've been the magic charm!" responded Shaun, referring to the Taoist charm which Tiffany had ripped off the coconut tree trunk on their way back from the beach that afternoon. "Every magic charm must have its purpose and I guess we now know why it was there. It must've been there to seal the spirits in that tree. Now that the charm is gone, the ghosts can roam freely around the hotel."

"In order to send these ghosts away, we'll have to at least find out a bit about the history of this hotel," mumbled Jeffrey pensively. 

"Exactly! We'd better also discover who those ghosts were before they died and why they're still here!" replied Shaun. "We could ask Tiffany. Her father is a shareholder of this hotel, so perhaps he'd know something about its past. Speaking of whom, where's Tiffany?"

"I remember she mumbled about going to the toilet around half an hour or so ago," answered Jeffrey. "That's odd! She should've been back ages ago! What's taking her so long?"

The afternoon of the group of friends was spent entirely at the beach. Eliza and Tiffany lay cozily under the pleasant sunshine whilst Shaun swam in the warm sea water. Despite the beach being exceedingly crowded at that time of the day, they were fortunate enough to find a quiet spot where they could tan themselves and chat at the same time. Jeffrey, on the other hand, was sitting on a deckchair, drinking a cocktail and rereading one of his favourite novels – Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet

大夥搭乘電梯抵達頂樓後,經理便帶著大家穿過直直的走廊,來到了第一間房間。金先生刷了一下房卡,房門就打開了。

「這裡是大家的房間,」金先生說。「大小姐,您專屬的房間在隔壁,是202號房。」

門打開後,映入眼簾的場景是一間寬敞的總統套房,裡面擺著兩張豪華的雙人床、一組舒適的沙發,以及一個超大的平面液晶電視。

「哇!這太讚了啦!」Eliza 迫不及待地跳到沙發上說。

「這張床好軟喔!好像躺在雲上。」傑佛瑞坐在床上說。

「喂,那個叫什麼名字的,那我的房間呢?」蒂芬尼說完後,轉身一望,赫然發現經理已經離開了,並將202號房的房卡放在一旁的桌子上。

「看來,蒂芬尼,妳被討厭囉!」Eliza 笑著說。

「哼~我要告訴我爸啦!」蒂芬尼生氣地說。

孝恩本來想告訴蒂芬尼他之前聽到經理用韓語說她的壞話,可是想想蒂芬尼可能會氣到爆炸,就還是算了。

 After arriving on the topmost floor of the hotel, the manager led the group of friends along a straight corridor with a terrace on one side. Approaching the first room on the corridor, Mr. Kim swiped the key card and opened the door for them. 

"This is your friends' room, miss," said Mr. Kim addressing Tiffany. "Your room is room 202, which is right next door."

As the door of the room opened, what came into view was a spacious presidential suite furnished with two luxurious double beds, a comfortable-looking sofa set, in front of which was a large flat-screen LED television. 

"OMG! This is amazing!" exclaimed Eliza as she sat down on the armchair and put her feet up. 

"Whoa, the bed is so soft it's like lying on a piece of cloud," exclaimed Jeffrey as he jumped onto the double bed closer to the door. 

"Well, technically, it's not possible to lie on a piece of cloud, as it's just precipitation of water vapour and....." Shaun was about to explain the science to his friend when he was interrupted by Tiffany. 

"Shut up, nerd! How dare you contradict ma dear Jeffie!" snapped Tiffany. "Jeffie, you're staying with me in my room! I'm sure it's gonna be even better than this! Mr. What's-your-name, show me my room!" As Tiffany turned around, she was appalled to discover that Mr. Kim had already disappeared without taking leave, placing the key card to room 202 on a small table beside the door. 

"Well, it looks like he barely met you for half an hour and he hates you a lot already, Tiffany," joked Eliza. 

"Imma tell my dad about this!" wailed Tiffany.

Shaun was about to recount what he heard Mr. Kim saying about Tiffany in Korean at the reception, but thought better of it lest Tiffany would explode with fury and commit a crime.

「想必您就是蒂芬尼大小姐吧!能遇到您真是我無比的榮幸!我是飯店經理~金先生!」飯店經理用著帶著濃濃地韓式腔調的英語對蒂芬尼說。「您長得跟您在社群網站上的相片一樣漂亮呢!不,應該是看起來更加美麗動人才對!」

「那是當然的囉!我可是天生麗質呢!」蒂芬尼撥弄著頭髮說。「我爸應該已經交代過了,我的朋友要在飯店住上幾晚。你幫他們安排好房間了嗎?」

「那是當然的!」經理答道。「我為大小姐的朋友們準備了全旅館最豪華、位在頂樓的VVIP總統套房。那裡有著大面的採光落地窗,可以將全釜山的風景盡收眼底,而且⋯⋯」

「那我的房間咧?準備好了嗎?」蒂芬尼還沒等經理說完便不耐煩地問道。

「是的,大小姐的房間也在頂樓!」金先生答道。

「都興武,你最好給我動作快點兒,別在那兒慢吞吞的!烏龜動作都比你快!你拿個行李需要花一整天嗎?」金先生用韓語大聲斥喝著新來的旅館門童。

「我很抱歉,大小姐您的行李很快就會為您送上樓!」經理轉身對蒂芬尼說。「那個新人啥事都不會,都要等我吼他才會動作!哎~現在的年輕人真是⋯⋯」

「天哪!這老闆真可怕!」Claire 對 Eliza 小聲地說。

「是啊!簡直就是黑心企業嘛!我突然覺得我打工的地方的老闆跟他比起來,簡直跟天使一樣!」Eliza 回應道。

 "You must be Ms. Tiffany! Extremely honoured to meet you. I am Mr. Kim, the manager of the hotel," said the hotel manager in English with a strong Korean accent as he approached Tiffany and her friends. "You look as beautiful as your social media profile photo! No, actually you look even prettier!" 

"Aw, thanks," answered Tiffany. "As my dad probably mentioned to you already, my friends will be staying at this hotel for a few days whilst visiting Busan. Have you prepared a room for them?"

"Of course, miss," replied the manager. "I have prepared the best VVIP suite in the entire hotel for your lovely friends. It is located on the topmost floor, with a magnificent scenery overlooking this amazing city. You can view the......"

"What about my room?" interrupted Tiffany. 

"Your room, Ms. Tiffany, is also situated on the topmost floor," responded Mr. Kim. 

"Do Hyun-Woo, hurry up with the luggage, you slow-poke! Are you going to take all day to take the luggage upstairs?" shouted Mr. Kim sternly in Korean at the poor bell boy, who had just finished unloading their luggage from the hotel bus. 

"I'm so sorry, miss," said the manager to Tiffany. "He is the new boy here and he doesn't know how to do nothing! He needs me to shout at him before he's willing to move his lazy ass."

"OMG, what a mean manager," whispered Claire to Eliza, whilst rolling her eyes. 

"I know right! I suddenly feel like my manager at my part-time job back home seems like an angel compared to this douchebag," responded Eliza.

經過了約莫12小時的飛行時間,大夥抵達了臺灣桃園國際機場轉機,前往韓國釜山。過了兩個多小時後,航班終於將落在釜山金海國際機場。

「我們要怎麼前往旅館啊?」Eliza 在提領行李時隨口問道。

「當然是旅館的巴士會來接我們啊!」蒂芬尼答道。

果不其然,大夥剛走出機場出境大廳的大門後,就看到了度假村的小巴士停在一旁。

「蒂芬尼大小姐,這邊請!」巴士的司機向他們揮了揮手喊道。司機先生趕緊幫大家把行李安置於後車廂內,並待大家逐一上車。

摩比神探之魔王之玉-1

一個綿綿細雨的夏日午後,一群朋友們相約於倫敦希斯洛國際機場,準備出發前往韓國釜山度假。

「天哪!我等這假期等很久了!」Eliza說。「今年大學是最困難的一年。如果我不去渡個假,轉換一下心情,我可能都要被逼瘋了!」

「我舉雙手贊同!」和Eliza就讀同一所大學的Claire說。「真是太謝謝蒂芬尼了~邀請咱們去她家的海邊度假村度假。這將會是最棒的旅途了!」

「那是肯定的囉!」Claire和Eliza的高中同學~蒂芬尼回應道。「我們家的度假村可是全釜山最棒的!噢,對了!你們還記得娜英嗎?就是那個高中跟著父母回去韓國讀書的那個國中同學啊!聽說她家就住在釜山誒!」

「天哪,真假!?」Claire說。「那咱們可以去找她呀!可是,我對她沒啥印象。她是不是挺少說話的?」

「咦,奇怪了!我們的班機資訊怎麼沒有顯示出來啊?」傑佛瑞(Eliza的表哥)看著螢幕說。「這裡沒有前往釜山的航班呀!我們是不是搞錯時間啦?」

Playmobil Detectives: The Demon's Jade-2

After 12 hours of flight to Taipei, the friends transited at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, took another 2-hour flight and eventually arrived at Busan Gimhae International Airport. 

"How are we gonna get to the hotel?" asked Eliza after collecting their luggage at the conveyor belt. 

"The hotel bus is coming to pick us up, of course," responded Tiffany. 

In fact, after leaving the airport terminal, they perceived a hotel bus parked on the side. 

"Ms. Tiffany!" exclaimed the chauffeur whilst waving his hand. The group of friends handed their baggage to the chauffeur, who helped to put them away at the back of the bus, and boarded the luxurious hotel bus.

Playmobil Detectives: The Demon's Jade-1

 One rainy, summer afternoon, a group of friends met up at London Heathrow Airport, ready for their summer vacation trip to Busan, Korea. 

"OMG! I totally need a vacation!" exclaimed Eliza. "This has been by far the hardest year at uni, and if I don't take this opportunity to get some time out, I think I'm gonna get crushed by all this stress soon."

"Yeah, I can't agree more," answered Claire, who studied at the same university as Eliza. "Thank you so much, Tiffany, for inviting us over to stay at your seaside resort! It's gonna be the best trip ever!"

"I betcha it'll be!" responded Tiffany, Claire and Eliza's high school classmate. "Our resort is one of the best in Busan! Oh yeah, and d'you guys remember Na-Young? The Korean girl from KS4 who moved back to Korea with her parents in Year 12? She lives in Busan!"

"OMG, really?" cried Claire. "We can totally go visit her! Although I don't really remember her. She was always very quiet and seldom talked, right?" 

"Um, guys, are you sure you got our flight details right?" asked Jeffrey, Eliza's cousin, as he stared at the screen. "I don't see any flights to Busan."
