What's wrong? "Ole was puzzled.
"Nothing. I just suddenly thought of something," Alicia said.
"What is it?"
"Forget it. It doesn't matter anymore." Alicia shook her head. After that, she turned to look at Zhang Heng. Suddenly, she pulled off the fishbone necklace from her hand and walked towards Zhang Heng with it.
"She said she is very grateful to you for saving her and her companions' lives. She wants to give this bracelet to you." "Take this bracelet to her tribe, and you will become the most distinguished guest there. One day, when she becomes a shaman, all the Inuit will be your friends. Also, from now on, you will be under Hamken's protection when you sail the sea. Of course, it has to be nearby." Song Jia translated Alesia's words for Zhang Heng.
"Who is Hamken?"
"Uh, it's the deep-sea beast engraved on your bracelet. It's a blue whale. It's over a hundred years old, and it's huge. Most blue whales like to stay near the South Pole. I don't know why it came to the North Pole alone. It's also Alicia's guardian spirit."
Zhang Heng did not refuse and accepted the bracelet.
Alicia hesitated for a while, then pointed at the terrified Satchus on the sofa and asked, "What are you going to do with him? If you can, can you hand him over to me?"
"You want to take him away?" Song Jia looked a little surprised. "His mind seems to be in some kind of condition, and we can't get anything out of him. He also killed Dr. Baker. Maybe we should hand him over to the police."
But when she told Zhang Heng this suggestion, the latter shook his head. "We can't hand him over to the police, at least not now. We can't explain what happened tonight, especially when there are so many bodies down there."
"My teacher, Kuna, is the current shaman of our tribe. She is also the most powerful shaman of the Inuit in the past two hundred years. She can communicate with the spirits and resolve dreams, and she is a well-known sage. This guy mentioned the nightmares that plagued him many times before. Although he seems to be unable to communicate with others now, my teacher may not need him to speak. She can directly access his dreams and obtain some useful information.
"The sacred object is very important to us. Not only can it distinguish whether an outsider has evil intentions towards our tribe, but it can also help the young shamans communicate with the elves of heaven and earth. Without it, we may fall into the predicament of having no successors. Especially now that the shamans are getting weaker and weaker, we can't do without it."
"Okay, but I can only give you three days at most. After three days, whether you get the information you want or not, I will take him away."
"You still want to take him away?" Alesia was a little surprised. "But didn't you ask all the questions before? Wait, do you want him to take you to the city under the ice? You heard what he said before, right? Although I'm not sure how true the story is, and whether those monsters that don't belong to Earth really exist, there is indeed an extremely powerful evil existence in the city under the ice. Our tribe has been fighting against it for years, and I also want to take this opportunity to learn more about it. "
"I will take him away in three days."
Zhang Heng did not explain much. He just reiterated his position again. He came to Greenland this time to figure out his identity. Now, through Satchus, he knew that he came from the strange and mysterious city under the ice. His adoptive parents and Satchus brought him out of there, and the blood of the monster flowed in his body. That might be why he had the strange ability to control water and why he fell into strange dreams.
However, Zhang Heng still didn't know who his biological parents were. Why did he appear in the city under the ice when he was only a little more than a year old? What did the monster want to do to him? Why did Mr. Time, the god of time, Kronos, organize people to come all the way here to find him? After that, what kind of agreement did his adoptive parents reach with Kronos? They brought him back to their country and raised him as their own child until now …
Zhang Heng hoped that the city under the ice could answer his questions, or at least some of them. In addition, the word 'vessel' mentioned by Mr. Time also gave Zhang Heng a lot of thoughts. But tonight, he didn't want to think about these questions anymore.
He said to Ole and Alesia, "Please deal with the body downstairs. I will stay here for a while, and I don't want to be targeted by the police for the time being."
"Okay." Alesia nodded. "We can still do this. Leave it to us."
"Keep an eye on this guy. Don't let him run away." Zhang Heng pointed to Satchus on the sofa again. He then turned to Song Jia and said, "Is there a bar nearby? I want to go for a drink."
"Now … now?" Song Jia was taken aback. When she saw that Zhang Heng had assigned the task of cleaning up the scene to the two Inuits, she thought that he had something important to do next. Little did she expect that he just wanted to find a place to have a drink.
"Yes, now is the right time. We can also talk about your salary later. You are right. Considering the danger this time, I should pay you more."
"That's not what I meant." Song Jia was a little embarrassed when she heard this. It was as if she said that she no longer translated for Zhang Heng because of the money.
"You deserve it."
"But I haven't decided if I want to continue being your translator and guide."
Zhang Heng nodded. "I understand your concerns, but let's talk about the rest after we drink."
"Okay, I know a good bar nearby. It just so happens that I've experienced a lot today, so I want to have a drink."
"Well, let's go." Zhang Heng stood up, grabbed his clothes, and walked downstairs.
In fact, his mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. Even though he had some premonitions before his trip to Greenland, the moment the truth was revealed, when he realized that he was not his parents' biological child, he felt a trace of emotion that he hadn't felt for a long time. It was just that these emotions were very complicated. He did not know how to describe his current mood. It was as if he had lost something very important.
It's late. Everyone, go to bed early.
