48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1272: The Little Elf

Kuna did not take long to prepare. It took her less than 15 minutes. When she came down from the second floor and changed her clothes, she finally looked like a shaman. Apart from that, she was holding a small bowl in her hand.

Kuna carefully spilled the contents of the bowl around the sofa. Then, she signaled for Alicia to bring her recliner over. She placed Sachus, who was tied up, on the Recliner and took out the towel that was stuffed in his mouth.

Sachus looked at the old shaman who was standing in front of him. His eyes were filled with madness.

Kunayu looked at him and said, “He has our blood in his body too?”

“Yes, his father is an Inuit. He learned his hunting skills from his father’s tribe,”Alicia said.

“I can feel an evil aura from his body. He has been controlled by that evil spirit.”

“Can his mind return to normal?”Songjia could not help but ask.

“It’s very difficult. It depends on how much his mind has been affected,”Kuna said. “I heard that he has been entangled with that evil spirit for a long time?”

“Eighteen years. Since he went to participate in the scientific expedition eighteen years ago, he has been having nightmares ever since he came back,”Alicia said.

“It’s already amazing that he could hold on until now. His spirit is already considered very strong among ordinary people,”Kuna said matter-of-factly. Then, she said to Alicia, “Give him a sleeping pill and let him sleep.”

“Yes, teacher.”

In the end, Alicia ran into trouble at the first step. No matter what, Sachus was unwilling to take the sleeping pill and kept his mouth shut. Even if Olai helped, he forced open his mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth without waiting for the water to be poured.., he spat it out again. The two of them worked hard for a long time and sweated profusely. However, Sachus was still energetic and lively.

Zhang Heng could not stand it anymore and said, “Let me do it?”

Hearing that, Aliesia handed the pill and the glass of water to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng walked over to Sachus and reached out to remove the latter’s chin. Then, he threw the sleeping pill into Sachus’s mouth and filled it with water, this time, Sachus was exceptionally obedient. He obediently took the pill and did not cause any more trouble.

However, after waiting for half an hour, even Olai, who had been on the run for half a day, felt a little tired. He was still not sleepy and was mumbling something incoherently.

Alesia patted her head. “I forgot. He has been suffering from nightmares and insomnia for a long time. He should have been taking sleeping pills for a long time. He should have developed some drug resistance. I’m afraid we have to increase the dosage.”

As she spoke, she stood up to get the medicine. However, she heard kuna say, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Leave it to me.”

The old shaman sat down on the sofa opposite Sartrus and looked at him. Then, he hummed a song softly. The melody was not complicated. There were only a few simple notes that repeated over and over again. However, as Kuna Sang.., everyone in the room felt their spirits relax.

Songjia could not help but yawn. Kuna Yoo gestured to her to go upstairs and wait.

After a while, Alethea could not hold on any longer and staggered up the stairs. On the other hand, Olai was still holding on, but his eyelids had become a little heavy, at the same time, Sachus, who was lying on the recliner, gradually quieted down in the magical ballad. He did not even talk nonsense anymore.

Olai wanted to wait for Sachus to fall asleep first, but after another five minutes, he was so tired that he fell slowly against the wooden wall behind him. Not long after he fell.., sachus finally closed his eyes.

Kuna sang a few more lines before her voice gradually died down. She picked up a glass of water from the side and took a sip of the remaining coffee to moisten her throat. Then she looked at Zhang Heng, who was sitting at the wooden table, with some surprise.

The latter’s eyes were still clear, as if he had not been affected by her singing. However, Kuna knew that now was not the time to study Zhang Heng. She pointed at Olai on the ground and then pointed upstairs.

Zhang Heng knew what she meant, so he stood up and walked over to carry olai up the stairs. In the bedroom on the second floor, Songjia had already fallen asleep on the bed. As for Alicia.., zhang Heng did not see her in the bedroom. When he put Olai on the ground, he walked downstairs and saw Alicia walking in from outside the door.

From the looks of it, she seemed to have jumped out of the window and into the snow. She washed her face with the snow to refresh herself before returning.

The old shaman nodded at his student. After that, Alicia closed all the doors and windows and retreated to the side, only Kuna Yoo and Sachus, who had fallen asleep, were left in the area where the water was sprinkled.

Kuna Yoo noticed that even in his sleep, Sachus’face was filled with malevolence and joy. It was as if he was running and killing freely in the dream world, and with Zhang Heng’s warning.., the old samurai knew that their trip to the dream world would not be easy.

So she took out a tambourine made of seal skin from under the sofa and changed the tune as she played. This time, her tune was very cheerful and filled with joy, the corners of an ordinary person’s lips curled up involuntarily when they heard it. Of course, Zhang Heng did not seem to have any reaction to it.

However, at that moment, Kuna could not be bothered with him anymore. She used this happy tune to summon her guardian spirit. These little things were like children, they liked to run around for no reason, they were also very sensitive to all kinds of emotions. When they saw something they liked, they would go up to it. When they felt sadness, they would run far away.

Kuna still remembered the year when she lost her sister due to an accident when she was twenty years old. After that, she locked herself up and did not communicate with anyone else. She was depressed all day long, the little fairies who used to love to surround her had disappeared without a trace. She did not know where they had gone to hide. It was not until she had recovered from her sadness that they returned.

When the expedition team was in the wilderness, it was no surprise that the little fairies found Zhang Heng’s mother. The little fairies were naturally fond of people with a pure and optimistic heart. At their age, they probably hadn’t seen many people as heartless as Xiao Xia. They were like bears that had seen honey. In fact, if they weren’t afraid of someone in the expedition team.., they wished they could hold hands and dance around little summer day and night.

On the contrary, it wasn’t so easy for Kuna to get the elves to help her enter the dream of Sachus, because Sachus gave off a scent that they didn’t like, and they could smell it from far away.
