Although Zhang Heng had removed Leviathan's egg from Peng Jiating's body, he couldn't change the way she saw the world. Peng Jiating's tragic personality was caused by her original family. All Zhang Heng could do was remind Peng Jiating's father to notice the changes in the girl, hoping that it was not too late.
As for Tian Tian's family, according to Uncle Beach Pants, all the accidents around Tian Tian were caused by Leviathan's egg. The more unfortunate she was, the more pleasure Peng Jiating could get from it, and the smoother Leviathan's incubation would be. Peng Jiating was destroying herself while destroying the object of her jealousy.
Now that the egg had been removed, Tian Tian's misfortune could finally stop.
On his way back, Zhang Heng stopped by Tian Tian's window, returned the Yasimba guardian talisman to its owner, and placed it on her windowsill.
After doing all this, Zhang Heng made himself a cup of coffee and continued to take pictures of the city at night with his camera.
Twenty-four hours later, Zhang Heng checked out of his room at the hotel's front desk. When he returned to his residence, he opened the door quietly and saw his grandfather sitting at the table.
The latter put down the newspaper in his hand and stared at him from behind his glasses.
"Sorry," Zhang Heng said softly. "Are they asleep?"
"No, I'm still waiting for your orange ice cream." Zhang Heng's mother yawned as she walked out of the bedroom, and Zhang Heng's father was beside her. "You said you would be back before 12 o 'clock. If you didn't come back, you should at least give me a call … So, you'd better go on a date. Otherwise, I don't know how to get you out of this."
"Sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long."
Time Stop was indeed a very useful ability. The more he used it, the more he could feel it. It was a great feeling to pause the world in front of his eyes, giving him enough time to exercise, learn, observe, and think. However, it wasn't omnipotent.
For example, Zhang Heng had actually returned home once during the time stop. He made coffee and took out his camera. He saw his grandfather sitting at the table, and he also noticed his parents in the bedroom, who were yawning but hadn't slept a wink.
Therefore, he knew what would happen when he returned, but he still couldn't change the result. He even had to pretend that he didn't know anything.
But no matter what, knowing that there were still people in this world who cared about him was a very reassuring thing, especially after seeing Peng Jiating's family environment. He was glad that he had a completely different childhood experience.
Although his parents had left when he was very young, until he entered high school, the two of them would actually return to China for a few months every year. Sometimes, they would do nothing but accompany him, telling him fairy tales, or go to the cinema to watch a boring domestic horror movie. They would laugh heartily at the clumsy cinematography, messy scripts, and all kinds of props.
When they were not around, Zhang Heng's grandfather fulfilled his duties as a parent, playing two roles at once. Having experience in parenting, he did a better job than Zhang Heng's parents. Therefore, Zhang Heng did not lack any care during his childhood compared to his peers.
So when Zhang Heng grew up, other than the fact that he preferred to be alone, there were no obvious flaws in his personality.
…..
The series of accidents that happened to Tian Tian's family was finally resolved. After that, Zhang Heng's life returned to normal. Other than the extra 24 hours a day, this year's New Year was not much different from usual.
On the evening of New Year's Eve, the family made dumplings at the table. In addition to the four main dishes prepared by his grandfather, Zhang Heng's father also contributed a cheese baked lobster and a plate of vegetable salad. In addition, Zhang Heng also cooked two new specialties.
In the end, his unique Caribbean roast chicken won the best dish award that night. Both the judges and the presenter were Zhang Heng's mother.
While sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Heng received a lot of New Year's greeting messages. Needless to say, his three roommates sent him a message. Although it was only a few simple sentences, it was obviously not a group message. Hayase Asuka, who was far away in Tokyo, also sent him a greeting message, along with two photos of her soaking in a hot spring.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan abolished the Lunar New Year and switched to a public one, which was in line with the West. As a result, the customs of the New Year had basically disappeared. Now, the Japanese celebrated New Year's Day instead. Except for a few remote places, no one celebrated the Lunar New Year anymore. However, Hayase Asuka had obviously studied the situation in China and sent a greeting message at 8 p.m.
Other than that, there were also some friends, classmates, and various websites that had renewed their membership fees. In fact, the whole day seemed to have been bombarded with messages. However, Zhang Heng noticed that Akua's profile picture, which was usually the most active, was completely silent this time.
Zhang Heng clicked on the conversation bar, and the last message between the two was from two days ago. You Always Look Unhappy (# O ') mysteriously said that she went fishing by the river alone and caught a Kappa.
Five minutes later, she sent a picture of a toy Kappa hanging on the hook.
After that, there were no more movements from her.
Zhang Heng sent her a "Happy Spring Festival", and it took about ten minutes for her to reply.
[Today, I'm not so happy.]
[Why?]
[Can you accompany me somewhere? It won't take too long. I just can't go back alone.]
Zhang Heng could feel that You Always Look Unhappy (# O ′) didn't seem to be that happy today, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, how do I find you?" he asked.
[Have you heard of a way to log into the game without using the game checkpoint? They will tell you that you need to find a quiet environment where no one will disturb you, and then find something that allows you to surf the internet. It can be a computer, laptop, tablet, or even a mobile phone if you don't have one. The game committee will send you an email.]
[And then? I've used up my quota for this month.]
Zhang Heng typed.
[It doesn't matter. I will forge a similar email that will pull you into a special quest. Don't worry, this quest will not consume your game entries, there is no login limit, and there is no danger in it. As I said, it's very special. Even if I'm restricted from entering the game, I can still enter freely, and it won't take you too long. In fact, I'm not doing this to clear the game or anything. I just want to go … and take a look inside.] [I usually go by myself, but I don't know if I can do it tonight.]
