"Anything else?" The doctor fiddled with the TT-33 and looked at Mouse in front of him with an unfriendly expression. "Coconut may have given you her Whisper, but who knows if your acting skills are so good that you managed to fool her first? It seems that you are more likely to be Loki."
Mouse was a little scared by the doctor's stare, and sweat began to seep from his forehead. He tried to think of any other evidence that could prove that he was not Loki, but the more anxious he was, the more his mind went blank. He couldn't think of anything. After a long while, he finally managed to say, "If it's Loki, I'm sure he won't be exposed as easily as I am. He is the God of Lies and Trickery. His lies should be impeccable."
The doctor was stunned when he heard that. Obviously, he did not expect Mouse to think the opposite way when he was cornered. According to him, the more unlikely Mouse was to be Loki, the more likely he was. So who was the least likely person to be Loki? The doctor thought for a while and realized that it was him. "No matryoshka dolls!"
However, after hearing what Mouse said, everyone realized that there was no solution to this problem. If they were to play a real-life version of Werewolf, all the players combined might not be Loki's match.
At that moment, Zhang Heng spoke up, "I have an idea."
"What is it?" the doctor asked.
"I have a game item that increases the damage dealt to mythical creatures," Zhang Heng said as he pulled out the Shrouded Sheath from his waist.
The doctor looked wary. "Don't tell me you're thinking of using this knife to kill us?"
"It's not that bad. I just need to make a cut on your fingers," Zhang Heng said.
"What will happen if you cut it?"
"Ordinary people will be fine, but supernatural creatures will continue to bleed," Zhang Heng said. "This is the only way to verify which one of us is Loki."
The doctor hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head. "I won't let you cut my hand with an unknown game item."
"It doesn't matter. You can go last and watch us cut first. If we find Loki in the middle, you won't have to be cut. If we don't find him, you don't have to be cut either," Zhang Heng said. After that, he didn't care whether the doctor agreed or not. He turned his head and asked, "Who's first?"
The boy had always been Zhang Heng's hardcore supporter, and this time, he did not disappoint Zhang Heng. When he heard what Zhang Heng said, he immediately stretched out his hand. Zhang Heng then used the Shrouded Sheath to gently cut the tip of his thumb.
It didn't take long for blood to drip from the wound. Zhang Heng threw a bag of cotton swabs to the young man, and the latter took one out and plugged the wound.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense. About half a minute later, the young man in uniform removed the cotton swab and raised his injured thumb.
The wound on his hand had already scabbed over, and no more blood flowed out.
"Heh." Heng raised his eyebrows.
"How is it? Does this count as passing the test?" Kratos asked. She also rolled up her sleeves. "It should be my turn next."
"Well, reach out your hand." As Zhang Heng spoke, he pressed his palm on the hilt of the Shrouded Scabbard again. But the next moment, something unexpected happened. Zhang Heng suddenly attacked without warning. The Shrouded Scabbard left the scabbard and slashed forward at a speed that could not be tracked by the naked eye.
The doctor was shocked by this sudden scene. He finally knew why Zhang Heng said that a TT-33 couldn't kill him. With the distance between them, the Shrouded Scabbard would have chopped off his hand before the doctor could fire his gun.
Just like now, the doctor waited for Zhang Heng's blade to fall before he raised the pistol in his hand and pointed it at Zhang Heng again. "What do you mean?"
Zhang Heng did not answer. He just looked at the boy in uniform not far away.
His attack just now was unexpected and extremely fast, and he even used the Dao-Drawing technique. However, he did not expect that the young man in uniform, whom he had set as his target, had dodged it. No, to be more precise, he had almost dodged it.
Although the boy dodged very quickly and displayed incredible speed at the moment of life and death, the opponent he faced tonight was Zhang Heng, who possessed Lv 4 swordsmanship. The blade of the Shrouded Scabbard still managed to cut through his clothes and the skin under his clothes, leaving a shallow wound on his chest.
The boy looked at Heng opposite him, and the expression on his face became a little strange.
Most players were still confused at this time, not knowing why Zhang Heng attacked the boy. Kratos was the only one who seemed to have thought of something. He quietly moved his feet and stood beside Heng.
The boy acted as if he didn't see the wound on his chest. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Your sword … it has an attribute that prevents wounds from healing. It also increases damage to mythical creatures. Well, it's the feeling of powerlessness when your power is drained."
Zhang Heng did not answer. Instead, he slowly put up a fighting stance.
He did not dare to take the infamous evil god Loki lightly. Zhang Heng actually had a special item that could be used to detect lies, the Oath Ring. However, he did not need to take it out to know that this F-grade item would not work on Loki, the God of Lies.
Considering the time when Loki was born, he should know what the items in the hands of the players were used for at a glance, except for the Shrouded Sheath.
Although the Shrouded Sheath was born from an ordinary sword, it had almost no resemblance to its original form after being recast. Other than its forger, only Zhang Heng and the bartender knew the attributes of this sword. After the incident with Jormungandr, Zhang Heng was sure that the bartender was trying to get close to him. However, it had nothing to do with Loki.
According to the bartender, the forger hired for recast was a tight-lipped person. Therefore, Zhang Heng was inclined to think that Loki did not know enough about this sword. Even so, Zhang Heng did not tell the truth.
He did not even hide the Shrouded Sheath's characteristic. He just included the bleeding characteristic in the bonus damage to mythical creatures. It was because of this that the boy, or more accurately, Loki, took the bait in the end.
"What a wonderful trick." Loki did not seem to be angry. Instead, he praised, "But how can you be so sure that I am willing to let you cut my finger?"
"Because you are Loki. You always think you are the smartest person in the room."
