Chapter 237: William Musk
After finishing the chat with Link, Xiao Yan began to think about his next move.
If the old seal just happened to appear in Hepu Town, or if it was just the person concerned who looked away, then there was naturally nothing wrong with Link's trip. However, in extreme cases, it would be great if the old sigil that would bring the Contractor a reward of occult points had a deep connection to the secrecy of the dimensional world.
In the latter case, Xiao Yan had to find a way to get the assistance of the local police anyway and bring a group of heavily armed police officers to investigate, so that he could feel at ease about his safety.
How can I get my dad to help me with this?
Xiao Yan was thinking about this while eating lunch, and suddenly the phone vibrated again.
"Hey, hey, hey! Do you know about the United Nations University Student Roundtable? This time it was Wang Xijun who called directly.
"I don't know." Xiao Yan answered honestly.
"Sure enough! You nerd, hurry up and sign up for your school's foreign affairs office! The girl shouted, "I'll pass you the list of registration materials later, hurry up, the registration deadline is five o'clock this afternoon!" I see that there is a spot in your school and it is currently vacant. ”
"What's going on?"
"Oops~ I won't tell you, just sign up and you'll know, move quickly, don't eat your lunch!"
……
Because of this sudden delay, Xiao Yan spent an afternoon in the preparation of classes and materials, and did not remember Link's travel plan until before going to bed in the evening.
Link, who was in a hurry, did not answer Xiao Yan's call, but simply replied with a message that he was busy and unavailable, and asked Xiao Yan to pay attention to his blog homepage.
Within a few hours, Link had updated a journal on his homepage to record the beginning of his journey.

On November 30, this year's autumn was much colder than usual.
But I was so excited. It took less than 5 hours from planning the trip to finalizing it, and I've never been more motivated and enthusiastic than I am now.
Thankfully, I didn't lose track of reason and preparation because of excitement. I made a quick list, with a map, papers, cash (who knows if you could pay on your phone in that little place), a change of clothes, a raincoat, chocolates, and drinking water. Thanks to a friend's kind reminder, I took out a gift from my dad last year – a cane with a silver grip.
Such an old-school gift had been kept on top of the cupboard and eaten in ashes, and I still didn't like it, even though his grip was sterling silver. But this time, it was like it was tailor-made for my trip.
The curved fish-shaped grip fits easily on my wrist or backpack, and can even be used to assist with climbing. The other end of the cane was filled with lead, and the weight and center of gravity were just right, leading me to suspect that it was originally designed as a self-defense weapon. The cane's shape allows it to easily pass through security without a lot of hassle, and can be used for melee output when necessary. I tried waving it a few times and thought it was a must-have for a staycation.
I wanted to ask my grandfather about the town of Hepu, and as far as I know, his ancestral home was not far from there. I can even recall him and Dad mentioning it in a couple of brief conversations. Unfortunately, before I could finish my sentence, my grandfather coughed, and this inquiry had to be abandoned. It's all because it got cold so quickly this year.
I briefly talked to my parents about my travel plans and boarded the high-speed train to the south, and I couldn't rest all the way because of my excitement.
Good thing I didn't fall asleep. With nothing to do, I checked my travel plan again and found that the traffic to Hepu Town was very inconvenient, and I had planned to transfer to a bus by high-speed rail, but the bus line had been cancelled three years ago. The existing public transport could only take me to the fishing port of Zhoushan, more than 40 kilometers away from Hepu, and then I had to find another way to bypass the winding mountain roads along the east coast.
Don't worry, it's a bustling seaside market, and I'm sure I'll find a way to Hepu at Zhoushan Port, and maybe for a little money, the local fishermen will give me a ride. In addition, I was able to have dinner at Zhoushan Port, where the big yellow croaker and pike crab are famous for their deliciousness!
As I typed this line, I could already smell the smell of seafood wafting in the distance. What an excitement!
It would be nice if you could have an affair.
……
Little brother, your action is so strong! It's like a wild goose returning home. Xiao Yan sighed in praise and held his chin to think.
Link's family is very wealthy, his father is a well-known wealthy businessman and a member of the Senate, and Link himself grew up under an extremely strict education, attending a university and Xiao Yan's school and being called the magic capital double wall, except for girls.
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Xiao Yan is deeply impressed by Link's curiosity and spirit of exploration, which can also be seen as a small rebellion and autonomy in a strict upbringing. It's no surprise that the case of a missing college student and the imprint of the occult have aroused Link's curiosity, and with the fact that he is exploring his ancestral home like a roots, his excitement is understandable.
It was at this time that Link's blog was suddenly updated. Xiao Yan hurriedly clicked open.

Destiny! I choose to believe in fate!
The excitement and apprehension along the way have just been explained, and my journey this time must have been arranged by fate in the dark.
Dinner was very tasty! The simple cooking of the large yellow croaker shows a taste that I have never experienced in the magic capital, if it is really impossible to eat, I would like to try their local pickled small yellow croaker special cooking method.
After dinner, I strolled around the harbor while it was still dark, hoping to find a car to take me to Hepu. If I can't find it, I'd like to have a decent and comfortable hostel for me to rest. I heard from the owner of the restaurant that a batch of fish would be delivered every morning from the Hepu fishing port, and if I had gotten up early I could catch their returning truck.
It's not too far from the Magic City, but the warm temperatures allow me to take off my thick coat and breathe in the intoxicating sea breeze without a scarf. This feeling of escaping from the city made me very happy with my decision.
As I walked along the shore, I was attracted by the noise not far away. Three local youths who looked very bad surrounded a girl with long hair, as if threatening something.
As a gentleman, I walked over with my cane in my hand, stood in the middle of the young man and the girl, and asked what had happened in as calm but serious a tone as possible.
Even though I'm a second black belt in karate, I haven't done a street fight once. My heart pounded as I clenched my cane and looked at my possible enemies in preparation for a conflict that could erupt at any moment.
"It's none of your business. Go away. One of the three young men said to me. He had a hint of blonde in his black hair, and he had an anchor tattoo on his arm, half a head shorter than me and a little thin, and he looked up at me when he spoke, obviously wary of my presence.
"Until I understand what happened between you, I will not obey my fate." As I spoke, I put down my backpack and held my cane in both hands.
This crepe sentence seems to have worked on them! Or maybe it was because they saw my travel weapon, and one of the men took a noticeable step back, and the other two were stunned.
"One last warning to you, get out of here." The man at the head pulled out a dagger, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work well for peeling fruit.
I answered him with action. The cane was held in my hand, and the lead end could be waved at the first opportunity. And my back is slightly arched, ready to go.
As long as the dagger man makes a little offensive gesture, I will take him down at the first time! The lead end hit the lower abdomen head-on, and no one could stand.
The girl standing behind me didn't speak, but I could faintly smell the faint fragrance, which made me even more determined to fight.
The other man next to the dagger man tugged at his arm, and the three of them looked at each other before finally turning their heads away. Before leaving, the dagger man muttered something like "you'll regret it."
"Thank you." A clear, soft voice sounded behind me, and I quickly straightened my back and turned around.
I swear that my judgment of beauty is not distorted by the fact that there are so few girls in my university, but I was stunned when I saw her face, and I could not have imagined that there could be such a lovely person in such a fishing port.
The girl in front of her is slim, dressed elegantly but perfectly outlining her good figure. Her long, slightly curly hair hung down to her waist, and her bright eyes shone with a calm and intelligent glow.
At first I was worried that she was frightened by the conflict, but now I realize that this worry is completely unnecessary. The girl looked at the three young men who had left as if she didn't take their threat to heart at all, and even if I didn't show up, she had enough courage and a way to deal with them.
"Thank you for your help, I hope what happened just now didn't leave you with bad memories." Her words were sweet and soft, but her pretty eyes revealed more than words. The long eyelashes were gently lowered to express gratitude for my help, and the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned with a sincere and beautiful smile.
I'm really lucky!
While I can assure you without any doubt that this fishing port is a beautiful place, it can't compare to the girl in front of me. I can't believe that in such a place, there are such otherworldly beauties with temperament and beauty.
What was even more shocking was that during the conversation, I found out that she was a resident of Hepu Town, was studying at a university in the local provincial capital, and was willing to give me a ride to the town before dark.
Oh yes, did I forget to say her name. Her name is Lin Weiyin, a beautiful name.
You can't guess what I did after that!
While Lin Weiyin was drifting on the mountain road in her open-top boxster, I was busy talking to each other while checking on our ancestors! We are not related by blood!
It wasn't until I got out of the car that I realized that the little red sports car was speeding down the winding coastal road, and the girl's skillful and calm driving skills by my side almost crushed every midnight outer ring race I had ever competed in.
The fresh sea breeze convinced me that I wasn't dreaming and it cemented my mind!
Marry her home! If she has a boyfriend, even if she digs the Great Wall, she will marry her home!

Xiao Yan smiled and closed the computer, if it weren't for the fact that he was already familiar with Link, he would have suspected where this kid copied a movie script to deceive himself.
