Chapter 1083 - Tracking

Beta did not get angry when she heard that. She glanced at Fan Meinan, who was no longer angry, then shifted her gaze to Cheng Sihan in front of her. Then, she said slowly, “I can understand how you feel and your despair and anger, but I’m actually doing this for your own good. There’s no way to change things. If you go to see teacher again in your current state, not only will you be unable to save your foster father, but if you offend teacher, you’ll also have to suffer…”

“This is my business and is not for you to worry. What you need to do is take me to see him,” Cheng Sihan interrupted Beta rudely. “Stop stalling. Zhang Heng went back to the car to retrieve his weapon, and he’ll be back soon. When he sees Fan Meinan’s body, will he think that one of us is the murderer?”

“As expected of senior sister. Planned to frame me before you killed him?” Beta raised her eyebrows, and her eyes lit up. “That’s more like it. At least I won’t be so bored this morning. Fine, I can take you to see teacher.”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t play any tricks on the road. When I started lying, you were still sucking on milk.”

“The one who starts the race may not necessarily reach the finish line first,” Beta said. She shrugged. “But I accept your warning.”However, she didn’t move immediately after she said that. Instead, she took out her phone and waved it in front of Cheng Sihan’s face, “Before you leave, do you mind if I take a few photos as evidence for you to complete the test?”

“Do as you wish,” Cheng Sihan said without a single modicum of expression.

In response, Beta switched on the camera mode and selected a few different angles to photograph the bloody murder scene. “That was a clean cut. Is this my sister’s final act of Gentleness?” she sighed with a click of the tongue.

When she finished taking the picture and put away her phone, she was about to poke the corpse’s eyes when Cheng Sihan, who was waiting impatiently, spoke up again, “Had enough fun yet? Did you really think that Zhang Heng relied solely on luck to get rid of Pestilence? If we don’t leave now and wait for him, none of us will be leaving.”

“Alright, since the picture is already taken, there’s really no need for putting ourselves in danger anymore,” Beta immediately stood up and said.

Cheng Sihan, on the other hand, did not look at Fan Meinan’s corpse from the beginning to the end. It was as if the one lying there was not her own sister but a bag of trash.

…..

Just as the two of them left the ward, Zhang Heng had already brought the Pestilence Bone Bow and Hidden Scabbard to the entrance of the inpatient department. Zhang Heng, however, didn’t enter the room immediately. If anyone saw the equipment he was wearing, they would definitely call security. The security guards at the hospital were definitely no match for Zhang Heng, but since he didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble, he climbed down the drainage pipe to Fan Meinan’s room.

As he climbed through the window and entered the room, he saw Fan Meinan lying in a pool of blood and the fruit knife sticking out of her chest.

However, Zhang Heng’s expression didn’t change, showing no sign of sadness or despair. He only looked at the time in his hand.

Ten seconds later, Fan Meinan’s body and the blood on the ground disappeared. Only the fruit knife fell from the sky. At the same time, another Fan Meinan, who was hiding in the bathroom, also walked out.

Death Illusion.

This was a prop that Zhang Heng had obtained from 1810. Its purpose was to create an illusion that mimicked an actual object and lasted 15 minutes. During that time, it could not be touched, or it would lose its effect. Before leaving the ward, Zhang Heng had given this prop to Fan Meinan when he hugged her.

This plan had been agreed upon by the three of them since they couldn’t determine Loki’s identity in the hospital. Even the most suspicious person, Wang Lirong, Cheng Sihan, only had a 30% chance of success. Zhang Heng did not like this kind of pure gamble, so he came up with another plan.

Cheng Sihan would kill Fan Meinan using Death Illusion and complete the test to attract Loki to reveal himself. Compared to the F-grade Vow Rings, Death Illusion was a C-grade item. Even Loki wouldn’t be able to see through it so easily. And even if he did, it didn’t matter. According to Cheng Sihan’s understanding of Loki, if he really saw through the trick created by Death Illusion, he would’ve probably jumped out and exposed everything.

However, neither Cheng Sihan nor Zhang Heng expected that Loki wouldn’t be in the hospital tonight. Instead, Beta, his agent, had appeared in his place. The good news was that Beta’s eyes couldn’t see through the illusion created by Death Illusion, but the bad news was that the three of them were unable to find Loki immediately.

Fan Meinan came out of the bathroom and told Zhang Heng what had happened in the room. “My sister wants to use Beta to find Loki, but I have a feeling that Beta isn’t going to be so honest.”

“It doesn’t matter. Your sister has already initiated a location sharing. We can follow her. If we really can’t find Loki, we can still take down Beta, his agent. Unless Loki can find a new agent in such a short time and let him participate in the Agent War Dungeon, he definitely can’t give up on Beta,” Zhang Heng said.

After that, the two split up. Zhang Heng climbed out of the window while Fan Meinan left the building through the safe passage. Five minutes later, the two met up in a parking lot and sat back in Zhang Heng’s Polo.

Zhang Heng placed his phone on the car stand.

The dot that represented Cheng Sihan was currently moving northeast. She wasn’t moving very fast, probably on foot. Zhang Heng noticed that there was a subway station 500 meters away from her. It seemed that she and Beta were planning to take the subway next.

Therefore, Zhang Heng also found a map of the subway line. When Cheng Sihan started moving faster, he circled the subway line that the two were on.

However, probably because the signal in the subway wasn’t very good, the information about Cheng Sihan’s location started to become intermittent. Fortunately, with the map, Zhang Heng didn’t follow the wrong direction. About 20 minutes later, Cheng Sihan’s signal returned to normal. She had probably gotten off the subway and had started moving again on the street. In the end, she stopped moving.

However, when Zhang Heng drove to the place, he couldn’t help but frown because it was actually a mobile phone repair shop. Zhang Heng got off the car and walked into the mobile phone shop with Fan Meinan. In the end, he saw a shifty-eyed man bargaining with the repair shop owner, and the phone in his hand was Cheng Sihan’s phone.

Growing up with eccentric materialist parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.
