48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1226 - The Guardian Spirit



When he saw that song Jia was still looking for a rope, Zhang Heng reminded her, “Just use the bed sheet.”

Song Jia came to a sudden realization and quickly returned to the master bedroom. After a while, song Jia wiped the sweat off his forehead and finally completed the task that Zhang Heng had given him. After that, he dragged the tied-up Alicia into the second bedroom as well.

Olai was excited when he saw the unconscious Alicia. Several times, he tried to get up from the bed, but he was forced back by Zhang Heng. It wasn’t until song Jia told Olai in Greenlandic that.., the Inuit teenager across from him quieted down again after Alicia was safe and sound.

Then, he put on a show of killing me if you dare, and I won’t say a word. He crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Heng with hostility.

“He said you can torture him as much as you want, but he won’t say anything. He’ll make you give up.”Songjia 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’ll kill his companion, “Zhang Heng said calmly, he turned the gun around and aimed it at the unconscious Alicia on the ground.

Olai couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up from the bed with a thud. He was still breathing heavily, but because he was afraid that Zhang Heng would pull the trigger, he didn’t dare go forward. He opened his mouth at the same time, he said a series of vicious words.

Song Jia was a little embarrassed after hearing that. She did not know how to translate it for Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng did not mind. “If he wants to scold me, feel free to do so. You just have to make him remember to answer honestly later. The life of his companion depends on his answer.”

Seeing Olai sit down again, Zhang Heng took out the ( vow ring ) and the parchment from his travel bag. He cut his finger and dripped his blood into the cup. Then, he handed the knife to the Inuit youth across from him.

It was obvious that Olai was very resistant to the pre-ritual of the ( vow ring ) . His disgust was written all over his face, however, for the sake of his companion’s life, he still had to force himself to write the vow on the parchment with their blood. Then, he put one of the rings on his little finger.

Zhang Heng put on the other ring and said, “Let him take off the thing on his face first. Then, ask him what their names are and where they’re from.”

Song Jia nodded and turned to communicate with ole.

Probably because she knew that the two of them had barged in to save her, song Jia had a good first impression of ole. She didn’t want him to suffer any more, so her tone was gentle, hoping to make Ole let down some of his guard, she cooperated with Zhang Heng’s question.

In the end, Ole was completely flattered. He didn’t expect the girl he liked to be so gentle. He thought that the other party was interested in him, so his gaze towards song Jia became even more passionate, if not for Zhang Heng still in the room, pointing his gun at his partner, Olai would have forgotten about his current situation and turned this place into a large-scale blind date.

At this time, even if song Jia was slow-witted, she could still sense something. She knew that Olai might have misunderstood, but she could not back down now. First of all, even though Olai’s eyes had already fully expressed his feelings.., however, since he hadn’t pointed it out, she couldn’t reject him first. Furthermore, she was worried that Olai would do something stupid in despair, so she could only pretend that she didn’t know anything, she coaxed olai to untie the bandage on his face first.

After a while, song Jia said to Zhang Heng, “He said that his name is Olai, and the girl on the ground is called Alicia. However, even though they both live in the north, they’re not from the same tribe.”Song Jia added, seemingly worried that Zhang Heng wouldn’t believe Olai’s words, “Actually, they called each other’s names when they came up. I heard them. It’s these two.”

“Okay, then ask them why they are monitoring Dr. Baker’s place.”Zhang Heng also believed that Olai was telling the truth, because he did not feel any change in the ( vow ring ) on his hand.

However, this time, Olai was not so cooperative. After listening to Song Jia’s question, a hesitant look appeared on his face. He kept looking in Zhang Heng’s direction, obviously, he was trying to think of a lie to cover this up. Unfortunately, he really did not have the talent to lie. After holding it in for a long time, he still could not say a word.

Song Jia was still trying to persuade him patiently, but Zhang Heng did not want to waste any more time. Therefore, he loaded the pistol in front of Olai.

Olai finally gave in and said, “Because Doctor Baker had contact with the evil spirit, he was corrupted by the evil spirit. The evil spirit’s Apostles have been stirring up trouble recently. They seem to be planning something big. They are looking for a corrupted human like Doctor Baker to join them. We are not spying on him, but protecting him.”

Olai’s answer surprised Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng had always thought that Doctor Baker was acting strangely because he knew that he was being watched. However, according to Olai, Doctor Baker was afraid of something else. On the contrary.., olai and the others had been keeping an eye on Dr. Baker’s place to protect the latter.

Therefore, Zhang Heng thought about it and asked, “What is an evil spirit?”

“An evil spirit... it is an evil spirit, a devil with evil powers. It came here not long ago. It lives at the bottom of the sea and will corrode humans through its sleep. Many of its targets have gone mad or become its apostles. It has many minions, not only in Greenland, but also in other parts of the world. Its people are everywhere,”olai gestured, at the same time, he glanced at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng frowned. He stood up from his chair and walked over to Alessia. Olai became nervous again. He yelled at Zhang Heng, but Zhang Heng ignored him and squatted down, he took off the Fishbone Bracelet Alessia was wearing and pointed at the deep sea monster on it. “Is this what an evil spirit looks like?”

“He said no. The thing carved on the Fishbone is Alessia’s guardian spirit. It’s sacred.”Song Jia translated Olai’s words to Zhang Heng.

“Guardian Spirit?”Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. He recalled the travel notes from Greenland that he had read on the plane. There was an introduction to the local religions in Greenland. He was suddenly enlightened. “They are shamans.”

“That’s right. Olai said that he and Arecias are shamans of their respective tribes. Er, no, strictly speaking, they should be the next shamans. They are still learning from their teacher.”
