Chapter 1081: Sudden Change

Zhang Heng glanced at the room card in front of the other window and saw the woman’s name on it.

—w.a.n.g Lirong.

Just like her, this was a common name. She had been admitted to the hospital after Fan Meinan. According to Fan Meinan, the original patient on the bed was a female teacher who had been discharged from the hospital almost two weeks after Fan Meinan got admitted. After that, it was w.a.n.g Lirong who had moved in.

As she was still on the wanted list of the three large guilds, Fan Meirong remained vigilant even when treating her illness. She would pay special attention to the people around her and even took the time to investigate w.a.n.g Li Rong’s background.

With w.a.n.g Li Rong’s age, it was impossible for her to be a player. Moreover, after Fan Meirong’s investigation and probing, she also ruled out the nurse and her son she had come into contact with having the possibility of being players. Hence, Fan Meirong was completely relieved.

In addition, w.a.n.g Lirong had a good temperament. Seeing that Fan Meinan didn’t have many people to visit her, they would often share the fruits and milk that her son brought. Eventually, the two of them shared a very harmonious relations.h.i.+p. Meanwhile, since w.a.n.g Lirong was a little hard of hearing, she didn’t know that Fan Meinan had usually pulled off some neat tricks, such as sneaking out to have instant noodles in the middle of the night. He could be said to be the perfect roommate.

Consequently, Cheng Sihan suspected w.a.n.g Lirong. Fan Meinan found it hard to believe, but she also knew how good Loki’s disguise was. Back then, even the G.o.ds had been fooled by Loki. Thus, although Cheng Sihan had only obtained a small portion of Loki’s power, she could already fool the three guilds. Therefore, w.a.n.g Lirong, who looked normal on the surface, could really just be Loki’s disguise. It wasn’t impossible.

But now, there was a problem. Even if they suspected that w.a.n.g Lirong was Loki’s disguise, they didn’t seem to have any means to prove it.

Zhang Heng’s observation, which he had always been proud of, might not be of much use this time. In terms of skill levels, Loki’s disguising skill would probably be Lv5. Standing beside the real person, even if the target’s own son were standing there, he probably wouldn’t be able to tell the real and fake one apart.

Although Zhang Heng still had the Oath Ring on him that could detect lies, it was only an F-Grade item after all. Of course, it was effective to ordinary people, but against a G.o.d of Loki’s stature, it might simply be insufficient. Loki was the G.o.d of lies and pranks, after all, an expert at manipulating lies.

As for the Oath Rings, it was an item probably from an ancient G.o.d with loyalty affixes. Even if it hadn’t been forgotten, it wouldn’t be in a good situation. It would be difficult for Zhang Heng to confront Loki head-on.

Zhang Heng turned to Cheng Sihan as if asking with his gaze how confident she was.

Thirty percent.

Cheng Sihan thought about what to type for a good half-minute, definitely not the best display of confidence, typing for half a minute, but considering Loki was her opponent, thirty percent confidence didn’t seem that bad. However, the trouble was that with Loki’s vigilance, the three probably only had one chance. If they picked the wrong person and Loki found out, apprehending him again would be very difficult.

“Do you have any other suspects?” typed Zhang as he took Cheng Sihan’s phone and typed.

—Yes. The young nurse who asked us to register when we came in, the head nurse on this floor, and my sister’s attending physician.

Cheng Sihan listed the three people who were the easiest to get in touch with Fan Meinan.

—How are you so sure he’s in the hospital?

Fan Meinan couldn’t help but ask.

—Not necessarily. Nothing is certain when it comes to Loki, but the probability of him being in the hospital is indeed the greatest because this is the best place for him to watch the show. He can observe your emotional changes every day while you’re here, and it was up to you to decide if you complete his test or not. In addition, the test he gave me was to kill you. So if I wanted to complete my test, I had to come to the hospital. With his personality, he would definitely save a seat for himself at the first opportunity. Whether I kill you at the end, or the two of us realizing that we had been deceived, it would all be very interesting for him.

—There’s one more person left on your list of suspects, Zhang Heng said.

—Who?”

—She’s been staying by Fan Meinan’s side as an escort for w.a.n.g Lirong. In addition, compared to w.a.n.g Lirong, she was more easily overlooked because of her status as an escort.

“—This significantly expands the range of choices…” Cheng Sihan frowned as she continued typing.

In fact, other than these main suspects, there were also the security guards of the hospital and the patients in the next room. Even the geckos outside the wall and the stray cats in the vicinity could have been transformed by Loki.

Regardless of which one was Loki, there would be a tough battle ahead. I need to go to the car to retrieve my weapon. You guys can stay here for now and try not to arouse his suspicion. If anything happens, feel free to contact me.

Zhang Heng finished typing the last paragraph and put away his phone. It would definitely be useless against Loki’s ordinary weapons. Until now, Zhang Heng still did not know how if it was because he had killed an Apocalpyse Horseman. He only guessed that it had something to do with the strange power that was awakening in his body, but he was still unable to master this power. In comparison, the weapons in his hands were more reliable, especially the few B-grade items.

Both the Hidden Scabbard and Pestillence Bone Bow should cause damage to Loki.

Before leaving, Zhang Heng hugged Fan Meinan. Seeing this, Cheng Sihan frowned and s.h.i.+fted her gaze elsewhere.

“I’ll give you two sisters some time to finish what you need to say, then we’ll go look for Loki.”

After saying that, he walked out of the ward, leaving only Cheng Sihan and Fan Meinan and w.a.n.g Li Rong, whose true ident.i.ty was unknown, in the room.

The atmosphere became a little uncomfortable. Fan Meinan still had to cooperate with Zhang Heng to continue the act, so after a while, she asked Cheng Sihan, “Do you want something to drink? I have water and milk here.”

“Water, please.” said Cheng Sihan absent-mindedly. Her attention was on w.a.n.g Li Rong, who was sleeping soundly by her side.

Therefore, Fan Meinan turned around and walked to the bed counter. She opened the cabinet and found a disposable plastic cup inside. Then, she bent down to pick up the Thermos flask on the floor.

At that moment, something strange happened. Cheng Sihan retracted her gaze from w.a.n.g Li Rong and quietly walked behind her sister. She picked up the fruit knife that she had left on the counter earlier before she called out softly, “Handsome.”

Fan Meinan turned around and asked curiously, “What is it?”
