48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1276
Chapter 1276 New Car
“You have an extremely difficult road ahead of you. I’ve tried to look at your future, but it’s a mess there. I Can’t see anything, and many people don’t know that the future isn’t fixed. Otherwise, our current efforts will be meaningless. Although I’m unwilling to admit it, my power is too weak compared to the evil spirit on the ice plains. It hasn’t even targeted me. Just the aura it unintentionally released makes it difficult for me and Gumok to resist.
“Therefore, there is a limit to what I can do for you. However, I hope you know that you have saved me and Alicia from the hands of that evil spirit. You are the Inuit’s forever friend. No matter what happens in the future, if you need help, you can come find us here. I also wish the flower in your heart will never wither,”Kunayu finished her last sentence, he let go of Zhang Heng’s hand.
Zhang Heng also stood up and bowed to the old shaman. He and Songjia stayed in Arecias’tribe for the night, and they were treated with unprecedented hospitality.
The next morning, Zhang Heng borrowed a snowmobile and brought Songjia back to Nuuk. Kunayu had already confirmed Ali’s betrayal through her dream. Next, she would personally inform Ali’s teacher and his tribe, at the same time, Alessia, Olai, and the others would contact the other Inuit to start looking for Ali and the Holy Relic.
These were the Inuit’s internal affairs, so Zhang Heng did not interfere.
“You said you plan to leave?”Songjia was surprised. Just as she was about to quit her job as a translator with Zhang Heng, he spoke first.
“Yes, I booked a flight for tonight.”
“Wait, aren’t you going to look for the city under the ice? I thought you were very concerned about it. You said you came here to investigate something related to it.”
“I’ve already gotten what I wanted to know. It’s even more than I originally expected,”Zhang Heng said. “I’m indeed very interested in the city under the ice, but I won’t be going this time.” “That’s a good idea,” song Jia said happily, “I’ve also heard the story of Sachus. Even if his story isn’t entirely believable, that place is indeed very strange. Furthermore, that evil spirit is so powerful that even kuna is no match for it. We should stay as far away from it as possible, shouldn’t we?”
“Okay.”Zhang Heng pulled out an envelope and placed it on the table. “This is your reward for the time you’ve been here.”
“Ha, you can just transfer the money to me directly. There’s no need to wrap it in an envelope to make it so mysterious,”song Jia said as she took the envelope. However, when she took it, she was stunned.
Because it was lighter than she had expected and it didn’t look like a banknote in shape, song Jia tore open the envelope and poured out a car key.
“What?”
Zhang Heng pointed behind her. There were two parking spaces next to the small cafe where the two of them met. A van was parked in one of the spaces, but it blocked the car inside, after entering the cafe, song Jia finally saw the car parked in the other space through the window.
It was a Volvo. It wasn’t completely new, but it was obvious that its previous owner had taken good care of it. The car was shiny, and there were no scratches on the body.
“How is that possible? How did you know that I was looking at this car?”Song Jia couldn’t take her eyes off the car after seeing it clearly. She rushed out of the coffee shop and came to the front of the car, zhang Heng paid the bill and followed after her.
“You’ve mentioned it many times. Although you didn’t mention the name of the seller, there’s a lot of other information. With the description of the car, it was easy to find the owner. Fortunately, he can speak some English, so we settled the deal,”Zhang Heng said.
“Olai was right. You’re not really Sherlock Holmes’s roommate, are you?”Song Jia said. She caressed the body of the car that she had touched many times before. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy, however, she returned the key to Zhang Heng. “This gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
“You deserve it,”‘Zhang Heng said. “You’ve given me a lot of help during this trip to Greenland.”
“But not that much. You’ll probably be able to do it with another translator.”Song Jia Shrugged.
“You’re in danger because of me. Although the final outcome isn’t too bad, I’ll take the extra part as compensation.”
“Eh, it’s not that dangerous anymore. It’s just that some of the things I saw and heard scared me.”Song Jia obviously misunderstood Zhang Heng, she thought the latter was talking about the art museum and the things that she had seen at the Doctor’s house, but in reality, Zhang Heng was talking about her being targeted by Nara totip and changing her identity.
If not for Nara TOTIP’s intention to keep everyone in the dark, the translator would probably not be in this world anymore. However, since this matter had already passed, Zhang Heng did not explain further.
For a normal person like Songjia, knowing in advance wouldn’t do anything other than cause her to panic.
“I spent 90,000 crowns on this car. Based on the compensation we discussed earlier, I should pay you 20,000 crowns. In addition, this is our first wechat chat. I said that no matter how long this operation lasts, I will pay you for a month’s worth of work as long as it’s less than a month.”
“That won’t be able to reach 90,000 kroner.”Song Jia shook her head. “Furthermore, I’ll resign on my own accord halfway through. Of course, our previous agreement can’t be counted on.”
She saw that Zhang Heng had no intention of taking back the keys, so she added, “I do like this car very much. Since you’ve already bought it, I don’t think it’s realistic for you to return it again. So, just treat it as if you’re selling this car to me again. I’ll transfer the remaining 70,000 kroner into your account. I’ve already saved up a sum of money previously, and with this salary, I’ll be able to pay it off.”
“Sure.”Zhang Heng didn’t insist and gave the interpreter another hug.
“You’re welcome to visit Greenland again in the future. Of course, it’s best if it’s not as dangerous as this time. What Time Is Your Flight Tonight? I’ll drive you to the airport in my new car.”Song Jia couldn’t wait to drive her beloved car.
“10:20 pm, thank you for your hard work.”
At 10 pm sharp, Zhang Heng was already sitting in the airport waiting room. This also meant that his trip to Greenland was nearing its end. Zhang Heng took out his phone from his pocket, and during the process, his finger touched a small pebble, therefore, Zhang Heng took the small pebble out of his pocket as well.
There was a pentagram carved on the small pebble, and in the middle of the pentagram was an eye.
This was what Sartrus had called the old seal. Alicia had found it in the Museum of Art’s rubbish bin and had given it to him before she left. However, to Zhang Heng’s surprise.., the object that belonged to Dr. Baker and Sartrus’previous owners was actually his parents.
