Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254 – Millennium Falcon Or Chewbacca?
Chapter 1254 Millennium Falcon Or Chewbacca?
“Really? When?”Songjia asked in surprise.
“It’s been a while.”
“I thought you just found out. Now I’m afraid I’m going to wonder if you’re the mysterious baby from the city under the ice.”Songjia wanted to tell a joke to relax the atmosphere, however, it didn’t seem to work.
So she ate an apple and asked, “Then do you know who your biological parents are?” “Not yet.”
“It’s okay. With your ability, I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough,”song Jia said.
Zhang Heng didn’t comment. He poured himself another glass of wine. He had already drunk two bottles of hard liquor, and the remaining bottle was almost finished with the guide. A rare hint of drunkenness appeared on his face, “I’ve been searching… For my origins. Because I believe that only by figuring out where I came from can one know where one should go in the future.”
“That sounds very philosophical.”Songjia shrugged.
“But now, I don’t know if I really want to know the final answer.”Zhang Heng finished the whiskey in his hand.
“I can understand. Your current family must be very happy. Your adoptive parents are very good to you. You have a warm living environment, and you don’t want to lose everything. But it doesn’t matter. You can find your biological parents first. If… I mean, if you don’t like them, you can just walk past their door without telling them anything. You can turn around and continue living your life.”
“It’s not that simple.”Zhang Heng shook his head.
“Alright, you’re right. After breaking up with my first love, I’ve told myself countless times that this matter has passed. I should have assumed that there was never such a person before, or that he was killed by a car. However, reality has proven that I still remember the days I spent with him.”Song Jia Sighed, with a wave of his hand, he called the bartender over and poured him another cocktail. “You just can’t betray the past, can

you?”
“Yes.”
“So, are you thinking of giving up Halfway?”Song Jia propped up her chin with her hand and looked at Zhang Heng.
“No, I don’t think I have too many choices on this issue. My past has come knocking on my door. I need to find the answer before it’s too late, whether I like it or not,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
“It sounds like you’ve been having a hard time lately,”song Jia said as she took a new cocktail from the bartender. She imitated Zhang Heng and finished it in one gulp. Then, she put down the glass and continued, “But I’ll leave these things to tomorrow. HMM… I know a place that’s more interesting than this. However, that place is only open to young people on the island. A tourist like you won’t be able to find it even if you open Google Maps. To be honest, I shouldn’t have brought you there. But who cares? We’ve had too much to drink tonight anyway. How about it? Are you interested?”
Song Jia had a mysterious look on her face, but Zhang Heng said, “You’ve had quite a bit to drink tonight. You should go home and rest.”
“No, I’ve seen more dead people today than I’ve seen in the past 20 years combined. In addition to the scary story I heard, I don’t want to go back to an empty room alone. Whether you come or not, I’m definitely going.”
After that, she rubbed her face and stood up shakily from her seat. She was about to walk out of the bar, but the next moment, her leg seemed to trip over something. Fortunately, she reached out to grab the table in time so she didn’t fall to the ground.
Looking at her current state, Zhang Heng couldn’t let her wander around alone. So he pulled out a 500-kroner note and placed it on the table before chasing after her.

“Are you sure you want to go? We’re both drunk, so we can’t drive.”
“It doesn’t matter. The place is close to here anyway, so we can walk there. Leave the car here.”Song Jia glanced at Zhang Heng behind her, “Has anyone told you that you’re a really strange enemy? You can kill 30 people without blinking, but you don’t want to drive after drinking? What, are you worried about being caught by the traffic police?”
“The law may not be perfect, but its existence has its own meaning. It can help you and others avoid many dangers. I have no intention of challenging the law, but if necessary, I don’t mind breaking it a little. In the end, I’m just weighing the risks of various options and choosing the one with the least risk, “Zhang Heng said.
Song Jia tilted her head and thought for a moment, “Even though I didn’t quite understand what you said, it sounded pretty cool, so you should be a good fit for the place we’re going. There are plenty of cool people like you there. HMM, even though you guys are different in your cool ways, your attitude toward the law is pretty similar.”
“Where exactly are you planning to go?”‘Zhang Heng frowned. “Relax, they’re all nice people. The place isn’t dangerous, or else I wouldn’t have gone there in my drunken state,”song Jia said with a wave of her hand, “It’s just a secret base built by a group of Nerds and geeks. They occasionally break the law, but it’s all online. One of them has a father who manages the dock, and the other one runs an exploration equipment store. If you want to go north, you can use them to find a boat and buy supplies. The price is only half of what it is outside.”
Song Jia paused for a moment before continuing, “This is the best I can do for you. I’m not going on an adventure with you. After all, I don’t want to see any more corpses or hear any more scary stories.”
“That’s good enough. I’ll pay for the guide as usual until the day I leave Greenland, “Zhang Heng said.
“Then I wish you good luck.”Song Jia didn’t decline.
The two walked down the path behind the bar. After about five minutes, they arrived at a villa. Although the villa was close to the beach, it was still quite a distance away from other nearby buildings, furthermore, the courtyard wall was brickwork. It was about two meters tall, so the people outside couldn’t see what was inside. It was quite mysterious.
Other than that, Zhang Heng also noticed the two cameras on the outer wall. One of them seemed to have motion sensing function, but it was more of a gimmick than a practical use. Because just now, a few seagulls had flown past, they were also chased by the cameras for quite some time, so they were probably even busier during the day.
Song Jia walked up, and the motion camera gave up on the seagulls that had already flown away. It turned back to Song Jia, and after a while, a slightly nervous voice came from the speaker. “Secret signal.”
“Millennium Falcon? or Chewbacca?”
“No, this week’s secret signal is the enterprise. It’s from Star Trek, not Star Wars.”
“Anyway, it doesn’t make any difference. Didn’t you already see me? Open the door, I brought a guest here,”song Jia said impatiently.
