Tak! Tak! Tak!
Heero madly typed as he had to finish the draft for "The Spirit and Trickster". Tomorrow, he had to go to a place called the dungeon. He did not know when he would go back, that was why he wanted to finish the draft before leaving.
Fuh!
"It's finished, the last book… I have to send this draft to Yun Xia… Mail… mail…"
Click! Click! Click!
"And done… This computer sure is amazing…"
It had been a week since the computer arrived. But typing as fast as Yun Xia was not a problem for Heero. During this week, he learned only about typing and e-mail.
He was amazed by the e-mail; he could send the book he wrote with just a few clicks. Once again, the technology in this world amazed Heero.
Heero did not buy this computer, but it was a gift from Yun Xia. Each time he wanted to write his book, he would come to Yun Xia Publisher. However, his presence bothered Yun Xia who was so busy all day. She did not want anyone to come to disturb her during her work hours. In the end, Yun Xia gave him an unused computer.
Heero also wanted to learn about the internet. Hong Yu told him that he could learn many things from the internet. However, he spent all his time writing and today he finished a series of books. There was no time to surf the internet.
Furthermore, tomorrow he would have made a trip to Dungeon. He could not learn about the internet even though he had no work.
Remembering tomorrows' trip, Heero rubbed his wrist. Then, his left wrist brightened up and a screen with menus appeared. Yes, he finally got himself a smartwatch. Dong Woo gave him the smartwatch and a map in it.
As smartwatches were way too expensive even more expensive than a computer not everyone could afford them. The cheapest smartwatch was 10,000 WD. There was no way Heero would waste his money on a smartwatch. However, Dong Woo gave him for free, the best one.
Even though he could only open a map, make calls, and send messages. There was plenty of time to learn more about the smartwatch later. Heero was quite satisfied with what he had now.
"For now, I will secure this area first before leaving…"
Heero left his log cabin and glanced toward a higher building that was seven districts away. Since his visit from the Central Police station, he felt he was being watched. Later he found two people spying on him.
Heero was not bothered as long as these two people did not bother him or do something to Han Ying or Hong Yu. He just let them watch him for two weeks.
However, he would go tomorrow, he could not let these two suspicious people just like this while he was away.
...
"Bin, he is out…Ah!!" Ayumu had his binoculars on his eyes and noticed the man he spied was looking at him.
"What happens?" Tao Bin immediately came closer and placed his binoculars on his eyes. Through the binoculars, he saw the man was looking at him.
"Have we been found out?" Ayumu could not help but think so.
"There's no way right? Executive Park said this man is about the same level as us. It must be…"
Tao Bin's words trailed off as the man disappeared. Ayumu also saw it.
"Where is he?" Ayumu moved his binoculars to the other places, but he could not find the track of Heero.
Ayumu and Tao Bin panicked as they could not find any traces of Heero anywhere. They kept moving the binoculars here and there, but they could not find Heero.
"I am here…"
Tao Bin and Ayumu heard a voice coming from behind. But before they could turn around, their vision blacked out.
Heero appeared behind these two men and knocked them out. He held his chin, "What should I do to these two…"
Heero came closer to the passed-out men. He rummaged through their clothes; he was looking for a clue to figure out who these people were. However, except for a weird tool and dagger, he could not find anything on their bodies.
"Oh, smartwatch…"
Heero pulled the two unconscious men's sleeves and found a smartwatch on their wrists. But the smartwatch was locked.
"Hmm…"
These two were suspicious, but he could not find their identity. If he let them be, he afraid these two would bother Hong Yu and Han Ying.
"First, let me take the smartwatch off. They could call a rescue with the smartwatch."
Heero took the smartwatch off their wrist.
"Eh… What if they have a tool that could send an emergency call to their friend? After all, the technology of this world is so advanced."
Heero took these two men's clothes, leaving only the underwear.
"Ehh, maybe the secret tool is in there…"
Heero looked at the red underwear these two men wore. Yes, they had the same color of underwear.
"Nah, never mind. There's no way they put the secret tool there. I should leave a bit of dignity for them…"
Afterward, Heero pushed his hand to the air, and a rift formed. His hand entered the rift and took a bamboo container. It was his space storage and inside the bamboo was a paralyzing pill.
Heero took fourteen paralyzing pills out of the bamboo container. The pills were orange in color, but they had no smell.
"One pill will paralyze them for a day. The trip will be at least five days, it might be taking more time. Seven pills are enough to paralyze them for seven days…"
Heero fed Ayumu and Tao Bin seven paralyzing pills. After that, he went to check another place, he had to make sure everything was safe.
...
The next morning, at 5 am
In front of Miao Miao Noodles Shop, Heero bid his farewell to Hong Yu and Han Ying.
"Do you really need to go? Outside is dangerous." Hong Yu was so reluctant to let Heero venture outside of the city.
"Nah, I promised the kids. Moreover, I am strong, you know, there's no beast that could harm me. Dong Woo also has prepared a train for me. Believe me, at most it's a week."
Heero caressed Hong Yu's black hair with a reassuring smile on his face.
"Good." Hong Yu knew she could not persuade Heero to not go. However, next, Hong Yu made an unexpected move. She got closer to Heero and landed a kiss on his right cheek.
Heero stared at Hong Yu in a daze while Hong Yu let out a giggle.
"Hehe, look at how silly your face is. If you came back earlier…" Hong Yu got closer to Heero and whispered, "I will give you another kiss, a longer one."
The dazed Heero turned when he heard what Hong Yu promised and asked.
"Really?"
"Hehehe…" Hong Yu let out a small laugh as she nodded her head.
"Good. I will come back soon. I am going now. The sooner I depart, the sooner I come back. Don't forget your promise.
Heero waved his hand to Hong Yu and departed to the train station. From Star City, he will go to Jilin Base by train.
Jilin Base was a small town located in the east of Star City. Meanwhile, the Dungeon was not far from Jilin Town. From there, Heero could go to the dungeon by walking.
When he arrived at the train station, a man was wearing a black coat approached him.
"Are you Teacher Xing?"
"Yes, I am Teacher Xing."
"Good, please follow me. Young Master Dong Woo ordered me to send you to Jilin Town!"
Heero followed the man in the black coat. Yesterday, Dong Woo told him that he would have someone send him to Jilin Town.
The man in the black coat led Heero to a train. This was the first time he saw the one called the train. The train was longer than a car and the train could accommodate more people.
Inside the train, there were many rooms. The man led Heero to a room.
"You can wait here until we arrive at Jilin Town. If you have a request, you can press the green button. There's someone will come to you later." The man explained to Heero.
Heero nodded his head, indicating he understood. He was scanning the room inside the room. It was complete with a bed, a table with a computer on it, and a toilet. This room was more luxurious than his log cabin.
"We will deliver breakfast in an hour and we will arrive at Jilin Town in four hours." The man in the black informed.
Heero nodded his head again as he turned on the computer. He did not expect there would be a computer on the train.
"Alright then, I will excuse myself!" After that, the man in the black coat left the room, leaving Heero alone.
Heero focused on the monitor, "Browser… browser…"
Click! Click!
"Let's see, Hong Yu said I only need to type what I am looking for…"
Tak! Tak! Tak!
Heero typed earth and tapped enter. He wanted to know the history of this earth and hoped that he could find some traces of dramonia. Also, he wanted to know how long he had been sealed in Eternal Ice.
The result came out and a round of colorful ball appeared, blue, green, and white. Below the picture, there was a word written, Earth.
"Earth is round...?"
Heero muttered in confusion.
"If the earth is round, then how come he could still stand perfectly on this round Earth?"
Tak! Tak! Tak!
Heero typed what was in his mind, he was asking the internet how the human could stand on a round earth.
The result came out, he clicked the topmost result. He read the article, in conclusion, it was because of gravity that he could stand on the round earth, the article gave a very simple example of a fruit falling from the tree.
After the article, he was directed to the theory behind gravity, Theory of relativity by Albert Einstein. Heero did not understand much about this gravity, he clicked it.
Then, an old man with white hair sticking out his tongue appeared. Below the picture, there was a name, Albert Einstein on the picture.
"This old man is surely mischievous…" Heero muttered in a low voice. After that, he read the article below the picture.
Without he realized he forgot his purpose to look for the earth's history.
Four hours passed…
Heero still had his eyes glued at the monitor, he was trying to comprehend the Theory of Relativity. But after four hours, he could not understand a single thing.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
A knock sounded and Heero snapped out of the monitor. He looked toward the door and found the man in the black coat entering the room.
"Teacher Xing, we have arrived at Jilin Town."
"So fast?" Heero surprised.
Then he looked back to the monitor, "I almost…"
Heero reluctantly left the computer and followed the man in the black coat. In the end, Heero didn't understand the Theory of Relativity and also forgot to search the earth's history.
