Compared to Meinan, Cheng Sihan had been with Loki for a longer time, so she knew more about him.
As the god of mischief and lies in Norse mythology, Loki was the most arbitrary among the Norse gods. He had no obvious concept of good and evil, and he did things purely according to his personal preferences. At the same time, he possessed great power. In a sense, he was like a naughty child with a rocket launcher.
Whether it was good or bad, it was unreasonable. Cheng Sihan had learned this many times. In Meinan's eyes, Cheng Sihan was Loki's favorite believer. The two had a lot in common, but Cheng Sihan knew very well that she might be able to inherit some of Loki's power, but she would never be able to inherit the latter's inherent cruelty and naivety.
For example, Fan Meinan and Cheng Sihan had been tortured by the so-called test for such a long time, constantly questioning their souls, and finally making a painful choice, only to find that all of this was just a cruel joke. It turned out that the two of them were not on Rocky's list of considerations from the beginning. Cheng Sihan could even imagine how happy Rocky must be at this moment, hiding on the side.
But thinking of this, her heart suddenly moved, and she asked Zhang Heng, "Did you really kill Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, by yourself?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "The process was actually more complicated at the time, but this is the result."
Cheng Sihan's face showed a touch of entanglement when she heard this. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "If, I mean if I am willing to help you find Loki, can you ask him to fulfill a request of mine?"
"You want to save your adoptive father?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "That sounds fair."
"No, you don't know the danger of this matter," Cheng Sihan said. "Even if you killed Pestilence, our opponent this time is Loki. Loki may not be much stronger than Pestilence in a head-on confrontation, but when it comes to trickery, few people in this world are Loki's opponent. So it is very likely that we will end up with nothing, and we will offend Loki. Believe me, you will never want to be targeted by Loki all the time. So if you want my help, just a verbal promise is not enough. I also need your guarantee. "
"What do you want me to promise?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Give me your blood. I don't need too much, just 5ml is enough. I have a tool that can make a binding blood oath. Once you break your oath, all the blood in your body will boil for an entire minute," Cheng Sihan said.
Zhang Heng shook his head. "Just like how you don't trust me, it's hard for me to trust you. I don't know if the item on you has any other effects. I won't give you my blood."
"You can ask me directly if this item has any other effects." Cheng Sihan raised the ring on her finger. "I'm still wearing this little prop on your finger."
"I'm sorry. Such a strange blood oath is not within the scope of my guarantee," Zhang Heng said.
While the two of them were in a stalemate, Meinan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again. "That … Can I swear? This incident happened because of me, and Zhang Heng is involved in it because of me. If he breaks his oath, I should bear the consequences. "
Meinan paused, looked into Cheng Sihan's eyes, and continued, "I believe in him, and I am willing to use my life as a guarantee for him. You are my sister, and I also believe in you. I believe that there is no other problem with your blood oath. So, it is most appropriate for me to make the oath."
Cheng Sihan frowned after listening to this. She would prefer Zhang Heng to make the guarantee himself, but she couldn't refute Meinan's words. Indeed, if it weren't for Meinan, Zhang Heng wouldn't have been involved in this matter. If Meinan made the oath, he would have no reason to break his promise.
And now, Zhang Heng's attitude was tough, making it clear that he would not make a blood oath. So, Cheng Sihan could only take a step back. "Okay, you can do it too."
When Meinan saw Cheng Sihan nodding in agreement, she picked up the knife on the bedside table and cut her index finger. However, it was not easy to collect 5ml of blood. It took Meinan a long time to fill the silver pocket watch that Cheng Sihan took out. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face looked even paler.
Cheng Sihan closed the pocket watch, picked up the strap, and put the silver pocket watch on the lighter for a full minute and a half until the blood inside was boiling. Only then did she hand the silver pocket watch back to Meinan.
"Swear. If Loki cures your disease, you will ask him to cure my adoptive father's cancer. After that, press your thumb on the center of the watch. Remember, if you can't do it, the blood in your body will boil."
"I got it." Fan Meinan took the pocket watch and swore an oath according to Cheng Sihan's instructions. Then, she pressed her thumb. Her fingertips were blistered by the red-hot case of the watch.
Zhang Heng instinctively felt that the blood oath was a little inappropriate, but when he looked at Meinan's eyes, he knew that she had made up her mind. After Meinan was done, Cheng Sihan put away the pocket watch. Her expression finally eased a little, but she did not speak. Instead, she took out her phone, clicked on the memo, and typed a line of words.
[Loki should be nearby.]
After that, she seemed to be worried that Zhang Heng and Meinan did not understand, so she added another sentence.
Based on my understanding of him, he definitely wouldn't miss a moment like this to witness the despair and pain that he had fooled us into. It was like a painter admiring his work that he had just finished. No one could resist such a temptation.
After Cheng Sihan finished typing this sentence, she looked up at Zhang Heng and Meinan, and then the three of them moved their eyes to the fourth person in the room.
Yes, that's right. Meinan lived in a double ward with a total of two beds. In addition to her, there was a seventy-year-old woman in the bed by the window. She was actually in good health for her age, but she was a little hard of hearing. She was hospitalized because of a benign tumor in her stomach that required surgery to remove. Now that the surgery had been successfully completed, she was recovering well, and she was expected to be discharged soon.
Meinan did not suspect her at all because she behaved normally. She was no different from other elderly people in the hospital. She had a son who worked, and he should be a small leader or something. He was very busy every day, but he would come to visit her after work. Other than that, he had also hired a caregiver. Now, the caregiver was asleep in the corridor outside the ward.
The woman was still asleep at this time. Because the three of them had spoken in a low voice, and she was hard of hearing, she was not affected at all.
