Chapter 1076: She Was In Her Room!
Fan Meinan noticed that the huge transaction reward post on the forum was because her post suddenly had lots of replies a few months ago.
After Fan Meinan received the reminder, she went to the forum and opened her post. She thought that someone had contacted her, but in the end, she found that there was a group of archaeologists watching the post. Not only did they not offer any help, but they also did not help. Instead, they kept asking her about her relationship with Simon.
After Fan Meinan exited her post, she saw the post that was currently buzzing with activity. She also saw the amount of money and the transaction collateral.
“Are you crazy? !”Fan Meinan raised her head and looked at Zhang Heng.
“200,000 points is a very reasonable price,” Zhang Heng explained, “If someone really owns such a tool, the chances are that it’s a B-grade item. Even though we only borrowed it once, the owner wouldn’t be interested in anything lower than this.”
“But where do we get 200,000 points? Or are you really going to give away a B-Grade item instead?”
“That’s none of your business,” Zhang Heng said. “The transaction reward itself is only a backup option. Our priority right now is to find Loki. If he can cure you, then I can ask Fowler to withdraw the transaction. Do you know where we can find him?”
“I don’t know.” Fan Meinan shook her head. “Loki has many enemies. The Nordic gods don’t like him very much, and he seems to have caused other trouble. Many Greek and Roman gods are looking for him, so his whereabouts have always been mysterious. In addition, he is very good at disguising himself, especially when he turns into various animals. Unless he comes to find you himself, it is almost impossible for you to find him. In fact, the few times I have met him, he was the one who took the initiative to appear in front of my son.”

“But now he has chosen a representative. If he wants to continue playing this game, he has to make sure his representative lives as long as possible,” Zhang Heng said.
“Are you talking about my sister?” Fan Meinan looked troubled. “The relationship between us sisters has always been very ordinary. Back then, thanks to Han Lu’s incident, we caught her once. After that, our relationship worsened, and we never contacted each other again. But no matter what, she is my biological sister. If possible, I don’t want to hurt her anymore.”
“Don’t worry, our target this time isn’t her, but Loki. If possible, we can talk to her first. After all, you’re her sister. How’s your health? Can you lead me to her again?”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Fan Meinan hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Zhang Heng’s suggestion. As she had said, even though she was prepared to accept her fate, she could only watch as death befell her. All her efforts were in vain, and she was still unwilling to accept it.
After that, Zhang Heng brought Fan Meinan to a hotel and opened a couple’s room with a bathtub.
Like last time, Zhang Heng first filled the bathtub with half of the hot water, then added cold water to the normal temperature. After testing it with his hands, he said to Fan Meinan, “It’s done.”
The latter started to take off her clothes with her back facing Zhang Heng. This wasn’t the first time Fan Meinan had done something like this. Compared to when she was in Han Lu’s bathroom, her movements were much faster. The atmosphere, however, was still a little awkward. Fan Meinan quickly took off her coat, leaving only a tight vest behind. Then, she sat down in the tub.
She looked thinner than the last time, and there was almost no blood under her skin. Fan Meinan did not seem to want Zhang Heng to see her current weak and ugly appearance, but all she could do was hug her arms around herself in shame.

Thankfully, Zhang Heng’s gaze did not linger on her for long. He asked, “So? Are you ready?”
Fan Meinan nodded. In contrast to diving, she tried her best to exhale all the air from her lungs before burying her entire body in the water.
Soon, she started to struggle due to the lack of oxygen. The survival instincts of a living creature kicking in, she tried to poke her head out of the water. On the other hand, Zhang Heng pushed her back down until her struggles became weaker and weaker… When Fan Meinan fell into a coma, Zhang Heng immediately carried her out of the bathtub and placed her on the towel.
He then stared at the time in his hands. Fan Meinan’s condition was already horrible. This time, he did not wait four minutes to start CPR. Instead, he started pumping her heart in two and a half minutes.
However, Fan Meinan’s body only started to respond after a full minute. Her pulse gradually returned to normal, and after another half a minute, she spat out a mouthful of water. Finally, she opened her eyes again and breathed in large mouthfuls of air. Her face filled with fear, she screamed, “She’s in the room! She’s in the room!”
“Calm down.”Zhang Heng draped a towel over Fan Meinan and comforted her. “I’ve always been by your side. There’s no one else in the room.”
“No, I’m not talking about the room here. She’s in the hospital where I was previously. She has a knife on her. I don’t know what she’s up to.”Fan Meinan gripped Zhang Heng’s arm tightly. “How did she know which hospital I’m in?! Wait, did she use our telepathy as well? Is she trying to kill me? Why?”
“Alright, I’ve got the situation under control. The worst part is over. You can rest for a while and leave the rest to me,” Zhang Heng said.
“No, I want to go with her. I need to know why she killed me. I don’t understand. She has already won, so why is she still trying to kill me?” Fan Meinan said excitedly.
“Are you sure? Your body…”
“My body isn’t that weak,” Fan Meinan interrupted Zhang Heng and said firmly.
“Alright, you can change first. It’s fine. There’s still time. This place is very close to your hospital, so you’ll be there in ten minutes. Since she’s coming for you, she won’t leave until you return to the ward,” Zhang Heng said. “She won’t be able to escape this time.”
…..
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan stood in front of the latter’s room again.
Fan Meinan’s expression was complicated. She glanced at Zhang Heng and pushed open the door.
The first thing that came into her sight was the fruit knife inserted into the bedside table. It made her shudder, but there was no one else in the room other than the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed next door.
Zhang Heng roughly checked his surroundings and said, “She just left. She should still be able to catch up.”
“What does she mean… by doing this? Is she warning us?”Fan Meinan looked at the fruit knife on the bedside table and asked in confusion.
“Only she herself can answer this question card.”

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
