48 Hours a Day

“Is Hans Hiding Here?”

“That’s what he said in the message he left us, “Alicia said.

“Then what are we waiting for? The relic is more important. Let’s hurry in and meet him.”

After saying that, Olai rushed into the museum in a hurry. However, after running two steps, he found that Alethea was still in the same place and did not move. So, he stopped and asked in puzzlement, ‘What?”

“I... I’m not sure if we should just go in like this, “Alethea said hesitantly.

“What else? Wait until Hans is caught by those guys? We have already lost Allie. We Can’t lose Hans, not to mention that he has the relic with him,” said Olai, “We are now racing against time. We have to find him before those people do.”

“What if those people already found him before we did?”Alicia asked.

“You saw the mark on the wall. Only our people understand the meaning of that mark. If Hans had been controlled and forced to write that message, he wouldn’t have left that mark on purpose.”

“Of course I know what you said, “Alicia said. “But...”

“But what? You suspect Hans?”Olai’s eyes widened, “Forget about the others. Hans and you are from the same tribe. His father and brother died in the conflict that night to save you. He has a deep-seated hatred with those guys just like you.”

“I don’t suspect Hans. I just think that something is a little strange. Hans was chased halfway. After he escaped, why didn’t he call us directly? Instead, he chose to send me a message and then left a mark on the wall.”

“Perhaps... he was worried that our calls were being monitored?”Olai had also watched the series of ‘mission impossible’and ‘oo7’, so he suddenly thought of something.

Alicia rolled her eyes. “If those guys were that powerful, we would have died countless times already, okay?”

This time, Olai did not bicker with Alicia anymore. He looked into the girl’s eyes and said seriously, “If you’re really worried, we might be able to contact that Chinese guy. You’ve fought with him before, and you know that he’s very skilled. Even if we join hands, we can’t beat him. If he’s willing to help...”

“Forget it.”Alicia waved her hand, “Didn’t he and that girl named Songjia go to the Doctor? Besides, thanks to you, we’ve already exposed all of our secrets. However, we still don’t know his background, nor do we know whether he’s a friend or a foe. At such a critical moment, it’s best not to complicate things. Besides, haven’t you always bragged about how strong you are? Now is the time to put it to use.”

“What do you mean by boasting? My guardian spirit is a polar bear. In terms of strength alone, no one...”olai paused, feeling a little awkward, because he remembered that he had just been defeated by the Chinese not long ago, and in the end, the other party did not use any tricks and tricks. They only suppressed him in terms of strength, therefore, Olai was a little embarrassed to say the second half of his sentence.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t see any animals around here... “Alicia muttered.

Her teacher regarded her as the most talented shaman among the Inuit. She had awakened her talent for communicating with animals at a young age, even though she had yet to learn the ability to predict, in fact, she already had a sense of the impending danger.

This was also the reason why she was somewhat resistant to entering the art museum in front of her. However, Alicia knew the importance of the sacred relic. In the end, she chose to suppress her uneasiness and followed Olai into the museum.

After all, what Olai said made sense. The Mark left by Hans could only be understood by their own people. If Hans was able to leave this mark, it meant that at least at that time, he was not controlled by anyone.

Therefore, she could only pray that she and Olai would be able to meet up with Hans before that group of people.

The two of them walked to the front door that was ajar. Olai stretched out his hand and gently pushed it open, easily opening the door that was not locked. Olai stretched his head in to take a look, but he did not see any danger, then, he called for Alicia to follow behind him. Then, the two of them carefully walked into the exhibition hall that was filled with all kinds of artworks. Olai was holding a baseball bat, which was the weapon he had taken from the car, he also had a small knife for peeling the skin, which he lent to Alicia for protection.

Although the museum had been closed for a long time, the lights in the museum were still very bright. However, this light did not give the two of them much sense of security, on the contrary, the lights cast the shadows of the sculptures and artworks on the wall, looking indescribably gloomy.

Especially those artworks that were already very mysterious, their shadows became extremely strange after being elongated. Even Olai, who had always been bold, began to feel uneasy. He opened his mouth and tried to call out Hans’s name, however, there was only his echo in the empty exhibition hall.

“Hans... could it be that he has already left this place?”

Olai also had the intention to retreat when he saw this. At this moment, Alicia tugged at his clothes and pointed at a place not far away that was covered by a canvas. “What’s That?”

“I don’t know. You know me. I’ve never been interested in these works of art. I’ve never been to this museum before.”

Although he said this, Olai still walked to the canvas and lifted it up. Then, he saw the bloodstains on the floor that had not been cleaned up.

Olai sucked in a breath of cold air and could not help but take two steps back. Then, he and Alicia heard the sound of the door not far away closing and locking. “Be careful!”Olai turned his head and saw someone emerging from the second floor. At the same time, he held a harpoon gun in his hand and aimed at Alicia’s back. However, when that person pulled the trigger, Alicia was also pounced on by Olai, the steel fork with sharp spikes flew past Olai’s back and hit a plaster sculpture, shattering the latter into pieces!

The two people who had narrowly escaped death were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, especially Alethea. She knew that if Olai had not found the person who had ambushed her in time, she would have been pierced through by that Steel Fork.

However, although the two of them had luckily avoided the first round of attacks, their troubles had just begun. After the harpoon gun missed, many people suddenly appeared from the second floor and the gate, surrounding the two of them.
