Chapter 1073: The Test

Fan Meinan raised her head and was shocked to see Zhang Heng standing in front of her.

“Why are you here?!”

“I went to your room earlier, but you weren’t there, “Zhang Heng said. He grabbed a bottle of Coke from the shelf beside him and walked over to the counter to pay. “I came in from the front door and came out the back door to look for you.”

“I’m not asking how you found this convenience store, but how you knew I was here?”

Zhang Heng didn’t answer the question. He opened the Coke can and took a sip. Then he pulled the chair next to Fan Meinan and sat down. “How serious is it?” he asked as he looked into her eyes.

“How serious is what?” Fan Meinan looked a little guilty, “I just came here for minor surgery. I don’t want everyone to know about it, especially when I think about how I might have to accept your hypocritical greetings later.”

“You must have been sick for a long time. The second time we met, I carried you on the run to hide from Zavier. At that time, I realized that you were much lighter than a normal person. This is also why you always wear baggy clothes. Later, to save Han Lu, you tried to telepathically find your sister. You took off your shirt in the bathroom, and I noticed that your body was indeed much smaller than a normal person’s. Also, the last time we met at Mcdonald’s, you didn’t look well. Your condition must have progressed again. You have a band-aid on the back of your hand. You don’t want me to find the needle marks left on the back of your hand, right?”

Zhang Heng paused for a moment, “Actually, I should have realized this earlier. I went back to your house with you when you were in Lego. You were clearly different from your sister, and there was nothing wrong with your relationship with your parents. However, in the real world, you still chose to leave home alone and run to another city thousands of miles away. You didn’t return even during the new year because you didn’t want your parents to see you like this…”

“You don’t know anything!” Fan Meinan interrupted Zhang Heng coldly. “You came here late at night without sleeping. You sat in front of me, acting like a famous detective Conan, humming in my ear, showing off your observation skills, and peeling at other people’s scars as if everything was under your control! Why can’t you just mind your own business? Aren’t you still participating in that proxy war?”

“My score is currently at the top,” Zhang Heng said calmly.

“…”

“Then go find something else to do. Go find that rich investor of yours or that cherry blossom girl of yours. They might even be willing to throw a party for you to celebrate your victory. Perhaps, even Shen Xixi can do it too. I think she probably likes a self-righteous guy like you,” Fan Meinan snapped. “One of you represents justice, and the other represents arrogance. You two are a perfect match. You can even play that sweet trick of yours and help a girl unscrew the cap. I bet on the surface, she’s calm, but on the inside, she’s happy.”

“This isn’t my first time meeting you. I know you can be quite mean sometimes, but today, you’ve broken your own meanness record. Those words really left a deep impression on me.” Zhang Heng didn’t get angry and took another sip of his Coke. “But I don’t think I’ve offended you recently.”

“Of course not. You’re right, handsome. I’m just a vicious and mean little liar. Unlike a decent person like you, I spend every day figuring out how to trick the next person… So, can you please do me a favor and stop disturbing my work? It wasn’t easy for me to get into this hospital. I’m brewing some kind of shocking conspiracy, and I’m planning to show off my skills. If you want to know what’s happening next, wait to browse the forums like everyone else… waiting to admire my heroism.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Heng’s straightforward answer startled Fan Meinan. However, she waited for half a minute, but the man still showed no sign of getting up, so she pulled a long face.

“Interesting. I don’t remember the chairs covered in glue.”

“I’ll be leaving soon,” Zhang Heng said. “As long as you answer one question honestly. Why didn’t you participate in the first round of the proxy war?” Zhang Heng glanced at his starfish mechanical watch as he spoke, “You should know that the first round of the game will end in less than 18 hours, right? Did that temperamental boss of yours fire you?”

“Hehe. I just realized that you’re really good at pissing people off.” Fan Meinan was a little distracted by the sudden appearance of a certain someone, so she put down her fork and turned to look at Zhang Heng. “Sure, if you want to know the reason, I’ll tell you the reason.”

“That would be great.”

“Loki is different from any other god. If you’ve read Norse mythology, you should know that he has always been a very special existence. As the son of a giant, he has lived with Protoss, but he has never been very sociable and has always been outside the rules. This is also why he has two agents, me and my sister. However, according to the rules of the organizing committee, a god can only choose one agent to participate in the proxy war. At first, we didn’t take this rule seriously. We thought that he would come up with a way for both of us to get in, but when the game started, Loki told us that only one of us could participate in the proxy war.”

“Then what will the other person do?” Zhang Heng asked.

“He will be eliminated,” Fan Meinan explained. “He said that to be fair, he will give each of us a test. The first person to pass the test will be officially chosen as his agent, and the other person will no longer have anything to do with him from then on. The power he gave us previously will also be taken back.”

“So you’re the one who failed the test.”

“That’s right.” Fan Meinan smiled self-deprecatingly. “Aren’t you curious about what my test was?”

“Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess a little. You’re not stupid. I told you to come to me for help if you needed anything, but you never came to me this time. Instead, you deliberately stayed away from me. It seems that your test is most likely related to me,” Zhang Heng said. “I’m just a little curious. Why is Loki suddenly so interested in killing me?”

“He’s the god of tricks. He likes to see his target’s ugly behavior when he’s fooled. No one could ever really guess what went on in his mind,” Fan Meinan said. “Anyway, this kind of thing doesn’t matter anymore. I lost, and my sister won. It’s that simple.”
