Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221 – One Drink
Chapter 1221 One Drink
Songjia had booked Zhang Heng a place not far from Dr. Baker’s clinic. It was called Eagle View Hotel, and it was also located on the coast. It was only a six or seven-minute drive away.
This hotel was famous for its excellent geographical location and view. It was very popular with tourists. When they checked in here in the morning, they could see the ice sheet in the distance, and at night, they could enjoy the aurora, however, Zhang Heng did not come at the right time. The day was long, so the possibility of seeing the aurora was very low.
After checking in, Songjia directly drove Zhang Heng to his room.
Greenland’s hotels were also different from other places. Because the land was vast and sparsely populated, there was not much value in the land. Therefore, there were very few high-rise buildings in the city. Rather than calling it a guest room, it was actually a small house, there was a certain distance between them, and they were as brightly colored as the houses in the town. The only difference was that there was a hotel sign hanging on the outer wall.
Previously, during dinner, Zhang Heng had already stated that he did not want to talk about Dr. Baker. On top of that, he did not seem to be very interested in the cultural scene in Greenland, therefore, even the usually warm and lively Songjia did not know what to say. Seeing that they had finally reached their destination, he sighed in relief.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow. By the way, what time do you usually get up in the morning? I’ll pick you up then,” song Jia asked as she stepped on the brakes.
However, she did not expect Zhang Heng to say after looking at his watch, “HMM, it’s still early. Why Don’t you come in and have a drink? We can talk about the schedule slowly.”

Song Jia’s face showed a hint of hesitation when she heard that. It was not her first time being a guide, and she had also been wooed by many boys back in school, of course, she knew what a man meant when he said that, so she subconsciously wanted to reject him. However, Zhang Heng made a very subtle gesture at her, and song JIA’s expression changed slightly, “I won’t stay in there for too long, and I hope you won’t Stop Me When I’m leaving.”
“Of course, I’ve just arrived in Greenland, so I don’t plan to stay in the police station for the rest of my time,”Zhang Heng said.
Song Jia put the SUV in P gear, switched off the engine, and followed Zhang Heng into his room.
The guest room at Eagle View wasn’t luxurious, but it was decorated in a warm and cozy style. There was a spacious living room with a carpet on the wooden floor, a sofa, a dining table, a television, and other commonly used furniture. The master bedroom and bathroom were also very large, there was also a kitchen where they could buy their own ingredients to cook in. The cost of a night’s stay was around 1,000 RMB.
Even though song Jia followed Zhang Heng into the living room, she didn’t find a place to sit down. Instead, she maintained a certain distance from Zhang Heng and crossed her arms in front of her chest, “Alright, I’ve already followed your instructions. Do you have anything to say… HMM?”
Song Jia didn’t expect someone to be so fast. She didn’t even see how Zhang Heng moved. The next moment, the latter’s body appeared in front of her. Song Jia opened her mouth to scream, however, before she could say anything, Zhang Heng’s hand had already pressed down on her mouth.
“It’s nothing. I just didn’t have enough to drink back at the bar, so I wanted to have another drink with you.”

As Zhang Heng spoke, he grabbed song Jia’s arms with his other hand to prevent her from struggling
Song Jia felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She didn’t think that someone would be so daring to do such a thing in broad daylight and in a completely unfamiliar place, was it really as he said, that he planned to stay at the police station for the rest of his life.
After Zhang Heng subdued Songjia, he immediately moved his mouth to her ear and whispered, “Cooperate with me. We’re being monitored.”
Songjia’s eyes were filled with doubt. However, when Zhang Heng let go of her hand, she did not shout out immediately. Then, she saw Zhang Heng reach into her purse, he took out a fingernail-sized piece of plastic from the interlayer.
“When… “song Jia asked subconsciously.
“Right now,”Zhang Heng interrupted song Jia. Then, he walked to the fridge and took out two bottles of beer. When he passed the beer to Song Jia, he quickly whispered in her ear, “Previously at the bar, when you went to pay the bill, two people on your right side suddenly got into an argument. One was a man and the other was a woman. It looked like they were in a relationship. The man stood up and was about to leave, but the woman poured the beer on the man’s face. Your attention was also attracted to them. This thing was put into your purse at that time.”
Song Jia’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had not expected something that would only appear in movies to happen to her. However, this time, she managed to keep up with Zhang Heng’s pace, after a pause, she said, “I don’t think it’s appropriate. I still have to drive back in a while.”
“It’s fine. It’s just a drink. It Won’t affect anything, “Zhang Heng said.
About 20 meters away from Zhang Heng’s house, a white van followed Songjia’s SUV to the side of the road. There were three young men sitting in the van, if Zhang Heng were here, he would realize that these three people were people he had met at a bar before. One of them was a couple, a man and a woman. The other was the man who sat on the left side of Songjia when she paid for the bill.
At that moment, the man in the blue jacket was fiddling with some kind of device. Zhang Heng and Songjia’s voices came from the device.
“What are they talking about?”
Another young man with a muscular body and a red face asked.
“I don’t know, but what else could it be? Isn’t it just something between men?”A girl with a ponytail sitting in the passenger seat beside her sneered.
The three people in the car were all typical Inuit. They had yellow skin, a wide nose, and black hair. They looked a little like Mongolians. The girl also had a bracelet on her hand, which was made of fish bones, there was a strange pattern carved on it, which looked like a deep-sea monster.
After she said this, the man in the blue jacket showed a hint of joy on his face, “It’s done. I’ve contacted Professor Peterson. He said that these two speak Chinese. He just found a student from the Chinese department to help us translate.”
“That’s great. Let him hear it quickly,”the muscular boy said.

“Olai, did your soul get seduced by that girl named Songjia?”The girl snorted, “I advise you to give up. That girl doesn’t look like she’s easy to deal with. With your shrewdness, wouldn’t it be like playing a fool if she played you?”

Accompany her as she survives in a dangerous world, a world that has secrets even the gods don't know about. __________________________________________ Warning!!The second half of "The Wave 07: The System" and the first half of "The Wave 08: Heroes and Knights" contain a lot of exposition that most other stories would consider "secrets of the world" that those stories would uncover over the course of a long time. There are two reasons this is revealed so early and directly. One: Not revealing that information quickly and not asking questions about it would be completely OoC for the characters involved in that scene. Two: It's information you, the reader, need to know before the main story can really get started. Namely, the "secrets not even the gods know about".

A Demon Lord's Reincarnation
Selina’s got a pretty active imagination. When doing math, she pretends that she is a great detective solving a heinous crime! Ordinary tasks, like a trip upstairs, turn into a perilous adventure to raid a dragon’s cave! She believes that life should be full of wonder and magic, and tries to force the world to cope with her conviction! But when Selina wakes up to remember her past life as the Demon Lord, she has to face the fact that real life is messy, and not anything like what she imagined. With ancient powers stirring, family problems, and the hectic life of a teenager, Selina will have to discover more about herself if she is going to survive the trials ahead. With the help of her best friend and a fair share of luck, she might just get through this alive. Maybe. (Updates (hopefully) on Sundays) This story started out as a flipped isekai. Instead of a hero being pulled into a medieval world, a Demon Lord is pulled into the modern world. It has since moved a bit beyond that initial premise but it is the foundation of the work. Along the way, I threw in dragons, elves, dwarves, and some vampires (but no werewolves, gotta nip that in the bud) all wrapped up in the political drama of a modern world. The story, however, will mainly focus on the characters and their development and as such, is a bit of a slow burn. It may take a couple of chapters to get into. You have been warned! (PS, please show patience for the author's notes. They're a bit crazy and don't always make the most sense. The author's a bit of a ditz. Please ignore him.)

Sod's Law (Dropped)
This fiction has been dropped, you're more than welcome to read it anyway (there is sort of an ending). But you have been warned... Sod's law is a more extreme version of Murphy's law. While Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (eventually), Sod's law requires that it always goes wrong with the worst possible outcome. For example, concepts such as "bad fortune will be tailored to the individual" and "good fortune will occur in spite of the individual's actions" are sometimes given as examples of Sod's law in action. This would broaden Sod's law to a general sense of being "mocked by fate". In these aspects it is similar to some definitions of irony, particularly the irony of fate. - Definitions of Sod's Law on Wikipedia. The protagonist, as many before them, and many who followed, thought they were just entering a VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing-Game). Unbeknownst to them however, was a short paragraph in the Terms & Conditions, that, upon agreement, would actually transport them to a fantasy world, loosely based on the game they thought they were entering. - Something anyone could be forgiven for, no-one reads them after all. In this new world, they discover that people are born with “Traits”, a System recognised, ability, skill, or talent, that they are born with. Sod's Law was not a trait they, or anyone else for that matter, would want. Pure madness follows. Yup, this is about a character transferred to a fantasy game-world with the worst luck imaginable. This is my first fiction so I apologise for any grammar and spelling mistakes that may be made. Hopefully it is readable, and if so please tell me! But if it's not, also tell me, but in a constructive way if at all possible? Due to the nature of the “Trait” the story will be dark in places, with plenty of gore and profanity, hence the tags. There may also be scenes of a sexual nature, but nothing full on – sorry guys but you'll have to go elsewhere for that.
