Zhang Heng was not in a hurry. He had too many ways to deal with this Inuit teenager. After that, he motioned for Ole to sit on the bed. He then walked into the second bedroom, moved a chair, and sat opposite to Ole.
After a while, Zhang Heng saw that Song Jia was still looking for the rope. "Use the bed sheet."
Song Jia suddenly understood and quickly returned to the master bedroom. After a while, Song Jia wiped the sweat on her forehead. She had finally completed the task that Zhang Heng gave her. After that, she dragged Alesia, whose hands and feet were tied, into the second bedroom.
When Ole saw the unconscious Alesia, he became excited. He tried to get up from the bed several times, but Zhang Heng forced him to stay back. It was not until Song Jia told Ole in Greenlandic that Alesia was safe and sound that the Inuit boy on the other side quieted down again.
After that, he put on a look that said, "Kill me if you dare. I won't answer a word." He crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Heng with hostility.
"He said that you can torture him all you want, but he won't say anything. He wants you to give up." Song Jia looked at Zhang Heng helplessly.
"Is that so? Then tell him not to worry. I won't torture him. But if he doesn't cooperate, I will kill his companion. " Zhang Heng said faintly as he turned the gun and aimed it at the unconscious Alesia on the ground.
As a result, Ole couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from the bed, still breathing heavily. He was worried that Zhang Heng would pull the trigger, so he didn't dare to come forward again. At the same time, he opened his mouth and said a series of words viciously.
Song Jia was a little embarrassed after listening to him. She didn't know how to translate it to Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng, on the other hand, didn't care. "He can scold me if he wants. You just need to remind him to answer honestly later. His companion's life depends on his answer."
Seeing that Ole had sat down again, Zhang Heng took out the Oath Ring and the parchment from his travel bag. He then cut his finger and dripped his blood into the cup. After that, he handed the knife to the Inuit boy opposite him.
It was obvious that Ole was very resistant to the ritual of the Oath Ring. His disgust was written all over his face, but for the sake of his companions' lives, he bit the bullet and wrote the oath on the parchment with their blood. After that, he wore one of the rings on his little finger.
Zhang Heng put on the other one and said, "Let them take off the things on their faces first. Then, ask them what their names are and where they come from."
Song Jia nodded and turned to communicate with Ole.
Probably because she knew that the two broke in to save her, Song Jia had a good first impression of Ole. She didn't want him to suffer more. So, she spoke softly, hoping that Ole would let down some of his guard and cooperate with Zhang Heng's questions.
However, Ole was completely flattered. He didn't expect the girl he liked to be so gentle, and he thought that she was interested in him. So, the way he looked at Song Jia became even more passionate. If it weren't for Zhang Heng pointing a gun at his companions, it wouldn't take long for Ole to forget about his current situation and turn this place into a big blind date.
No matter how slow-witted Song Jia was, she could sense something was wrong. She knew that Ole might have gotten the wrong idea, but she couldn't back down now. Although Ole's eyes had revealed his true feelings, he didn't point it out, and it was inappropriate for her to say no. Besides, she was worried that Ole would do something stupid if he became disheartened. So, she pretended that she didn't know anything and coaxed Ole to take off the cloth on his face.
After a while, Song Jia said to Zhang Heng, "He said his name is Ole, and the girl on the ground is Alesia. Although they live in the north, they are not from the same tribe." Worried that Zhang Heng wouldn't believe Ole, Song Jia added, "In fact, they called each other's names when they came up. I heard it. It's these two."
"Well, ask them why they are monitoring Dr. Baker's residence." Zhang Heng also believed that Ole was telling the truth because he didn't feel any changes in the Oath Ring on his hand.
However, this time, Ole wasn't so cooperative. After listening to Song Jia's question, he hesitated, and he kept looking at Zhang Heng's direction. Obviously, he was thinking about how to lie to get over this. Unfortunately, he wasn't a good liar, and after holding back for a long time, he couldn't come up with a single lie.
Song Jia was still patiently persuading him, but Zhang Heng didn't want to waste any more time. So, he loaded the pistol in front of Ole.
Seeing this, Ole finally gave in and said, "Because Dr. Baker had contact with the evil spirit and was corrupted by it, the evil spirit's apostles have been on the move recently. They seem to be planning something big. They are looking for humans who have been corrupted like Dr. Baker and want to rope them in. We're not monitoring him, we're protecting him."
Ole's answer surprised Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng had always thought that Dr. Baker's abnormal behavior was because he knew he was being monitored. According to Ole, Dr. Baker was afraid of something else. On the contrary, Ole and the others had been watching Dr. Baker's residence to protect him.
So Zhang Heng thought about it and asked, "What is an evil spirit?"
"An evil spirit … a devil with evil power. It came here not long ago, lives at the bottom of the sea, and it will corrupt humans in their sleep. Many of its targets have gone mad or become its apostles. It has many minions, not only in Greenland but in other parts of the world. It has people everywhere." Ole gestured with his hand and glanced at Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng frowned, stood up from the chair, and walked in front of Alesia. Ole became nervous again and yelled at Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng ignored him, squatted down, and took off the fishbone bracelet on Alesia's hand. He pointed at the deep-sea behemoth and asked, "Does an evil spirit look like this?"
"He said no. The thing engraved on the fishbone is Alesia's guardian spirit. It is sacred." Song Jia translated Ole's words to Zhang Heng.
"Guardian spirit?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. He remembered the travel notes he read about Greenland on the plane. There was an introduction to Greenland's local religion. "They are shamans."
"Yes, Ole said that he and Alesia are shamans of their respective tribes. Uh, no, strictly speaking, they should be the next shamans. Now, they are still learning from their teachers."
