Chapter 477: 477

Chapter 477 Got Another Clue?

Along the way, even the short-haired girl noticed the change in the atmosphere . “Hey, I have a bad feeling that something awful is about to go down . ”

Zhang Heng looked at her, but he did not explain anything . “We talked a lot about Han Lu . Let’s talk about you,” he said, instead of answering her .

“Me?” The short-haired girl was a little surprised . “How am I related to your mission to save the world?”

“No . I want to have a small chat with you,” Zhang Heng said, “Anyway, we still need to walk a bit before we get to the museum . ”

“Well, let’s do the small talk then,” the short-haired girl scratched her head . “I am essentially a very boring person . My hobbies are lying in bed and reading novels and comics . I’m a movie buff as well . Though I don’t mind socializing, I find it troublesome to keep getting my hair done . I take an unpopular course . I don’t know what else to tell you . ”

“Is there anyone you like?”

“Wow, now that’s a very personal question . ”

“Sorry if you’re offended…”

“I would think a stranger is rude if he were to ask me something like this after meeting him for less than half an hour . I don’t feel that way, though, when you asked me the question . It’s weird . I feel like I know you . Have we met before?” the short-haired girl asked in curiosity .

“Is that right?”

“To answer your previous question, I dated a boy, but it was a high school thing . He took me home on a bicycle, and I could smell the detergent on his shirt . I really loved that smell . Unfortunately, my dad had to spot him, and since then, he’s been waiting at the school gate to pick me up every day . It was miserable . After a while, we broke up since our relationship affected his grades . But what can I say, eh? When I was studying abroad, my drama addiction affected my love life as well . ”

“Don’t worry . You will meet someone you like in the future . He will show up at the right time, and you’ll have a happy family . The person you love shall give you all the happiness in the world . ”

“Could this be some sort of prophecy?” The short-haired girl smiled, “But it sounds good . I want to think that it’ll come true for me . ”

After a while, the bus stopped in front of St . Aidan’s College, and the Oriental Museum was nearby . At the same time, the sky was also covered by dark clouds as well . The short-haired girl was a student at Durham University, so there was no need to buy a ticket . After frisking his pocket awkwardly, Zhang Heng suddenly realized that he couldn’t pay for the ticket .

“I’ll buy you a ticket . Han Lu can reimburse me later,” the short-haired girl said, reaching for her purse . “Thank you . ” Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief . Although he could use the previous method to get into the museum, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of unwanted attention, thereby risking alerting the nearby police officers .

Since Zhang Heng had no idea what kind of catastrophe he was going to face, he figured it was better he lay low . The museum wasn’t that big, very few visitors were there at the moment . To Zhang Heng’s surprise, he reencountered Rabbit . She was standing with a tall and handsome boy .

“Oh, shit . That’s Freddie . ” The short-haired girl let out a long sigh .

“Who is Freddie?”

“He’s Han Lu’s admirer and rising star of the school’s soccer team . Something’s up with him recently . He has been pestering Han Lu relentlessly, and although Han Lu told him that she’s attached, he just wouldn’t stop . So all she can do is to avoid him as much as possible . ”

Rabbit, on the other hand, was filled with joy when she spotted Zhang Heng . “You found this place too?”

Zhang Heng’s eyes moved .

Rabbit continued, “To be honest, I don’t know where I am, although I set a place for us to meet up . Luckily I met this handsome guy here . I asked him if he knew Han Lu, and he told me he would take me to her . We seem to be a step behind, though . She’s no longer here . I’ve asked the staff, and they said she left about 15 minutes ago . The apocalypse is nigh . This time, it’s only taken an hour and a half to arrive . At this rate, we probably won’t even have half an hour to move around in the next dream . By the way, who’s this?”

The short-haired girl was about to say something, but Zhang Heng interrupted her . “That’s it for now . Thank you for your help . See you later . ”

Now that surely didn’t sound too polite, and it made it look as if Zhang Heng ditched her after she went out of the way to help him . The short-haired girl said nothing, though, simply looking toward Zhang Heng and Rabbit with a smile . “Well, I wish you all the best, and I hope you save the world soon . ”

After that, she left the museum .

Rabbit raised her eyebrows, “Whoa… wait . . What do you mean? She can’t provide us with more clues?”

“You’re right,” said Zhang Heng thoughtfully .

“Who is he?” The football player named Freddy suddenly voiced out . All the while, he’d been eyeballing Zhang Heng belligerently .

Seeing the two communicating in Chinese, he began to feel increasingly uncomfortable with Zhang Heng’s presence .

“It’s okay, Freddie . Uhh, he is a friend of mine . ” Rabbit quickly turned around to extinguish the brewing flames . She then turned to Zhang Heng again, “What should we do now? Found any clues?”

Zhang Heng didn’t speak until the short-haired girl had walked out of the museum’s door .

“What should I call you? Hypnos?”

Rabbit’s face flashed with surprise .

“Who? Me? Did the dragon fry your brains? Do I look like Hypnos to you?”

“I started to suspect you in the previous dream,” replied Zhang Heng . “I must admit that you put up a good act when we first met in that dream . Rabbit and I have just met recently . Apart from her name and appearance, I know very little about her . So it’s hard for me to tell that you are pretending to be her . ”

“What? So you think that I am pretending to be someone?” Rabbit looked puzzled . “Why?”

“You were so good at playing that part . To be honest, when I first saw you, I really thought you were Rabbit,” Zhang Heng said . “But then I noticed something small, and that was when I started to suspect you . As far as I know, you and the other three always worked in a team . You’ve never once mentioned your teammates after you met me . Moreover, when you decided where we should meet in the next dream, you chose the plaza where we met . ”

“Where’s the problem in that?” asked Rabbit, a hint of frustration lining her words .

“Although it isn’t a remote area, it’s actually very unpopular . You said you didn’t remember the road, but later, you said you could recognize the way a little . If you are really Rabbit, you should have started with the desire to meet your teammates . Logically, you were supposed to choose a place familiar to your team . You could have even chosen Han Lu’s place . The reason why you chose the place we first met was so that I wouldn’t meet the others, especially the real Rabbit . ”

“Interesting deduction, but how do you explain those disasters then? Just like you, they hit me as well . ”
