Zhang Heng instinctively jumped out of the magic circle the moment he was burned by the flame. But at the same time, Iciz's voice came to his ears. "Don't!"
After a pause, Iciz added, "This is a magical flame. It will not hurt our bodies. As long as you relax, the teleportation circle will naturally take us to our destination."
Zhang Heng reached out and touched the flame in front of him. Sure enough, his skin did not show any signs of being burned. In fact, his palm went straight through the flame. After that, Zhang Heng relaxed his mind according to Iciz's instructions.
The next moment, a familiar sense of dizziness flooded his head, and Zhang Heng closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a parking lot with Iciz. Iciz glanced at the hospital building on the left and shook her head. "I haven't used it for a long time. It's actually more than 500 meters off."
On the other side, Zhang Heng said, "Did you design the teleportation before the start of each round of the game?"
"You found out? That's right, I've also participated in the development of your game. Not just me, but almost all the gods have participated in the development and are responsible for some part of it. This is also why this game is so fascinating and incredible. The part about time is handled by Kronos, who's behind you … "Isis seemed to have thought of something when she said that, but she suddenly shut her mouth.
But it was too late. Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "You … know Kronos?"
"The famous god of time, the highest god worshipped by Orpheus, Kronos. Although we are not from the same pantheon, of course, I have heard of his name. And we met once about six hundred years ago, but I don't know him very well."
Zhang Heng did not ask any more questions when he heard this. He took the initiative to take the suitcase from Iciz, and the two walked to the hospital building.
Fan Meinan suffered from a rare disease that few people in the world had ever suffered from, so there were not many doctors who could help her control the progress of the disease. In addition, she needed the corresponding treatment equipment, so her choices were very limited. After leaving her previous hospital, she was transferred here, and she also changed her name and identity.
Mei Nan knew that if someone really knew about her situation, it was normal for them to find her. Fortunately, Loki had been killed by Zhang Heng. Strictly speaking, she was not a player, but an unregistered citizen. Loki found a way to bring her into the game, so her information was not in the leaked player information this time.
In fact, after the Jormungandr incident, she seemed to have been forgotten by the world. No one dared to touch her again, and except for Zhang Heng, no one contacted her again. The most important thing for Mei Nan now was to wait for death.
Although he had not seen her for just over a month, her body had become even thinner. She was almost skin and bones now. When Zhang Heng saw her, she was lying on the bed, curled up like a stray dog on the roadside. The back of her hand was covered with dense needle holes, and beside her pillow was a copy of Mitch Albom's A Tuesday Date. The author recalled the last philosophy lesson his teacher taught him every Tuesday for fourteen weeks before his death.
"Is she the friend you wanted me to help you save?" Isis asked. She and Zhang Heng were now standing outside Meinan's ward, looking at Meinan through the glass.
"Yes," said Zhang Heng.
"Do you want to go in and say hello to her first?"
"There's no need for that. Just heal her directly."
"Why? If she knows that you are willing to take the risk to kill Seth to save her, she will be very grateful to you. What is your relationship? Lovers?" Iciz asked curiously.
"No, I said it before. Just an ordinary friend," said Zhang Heng lightly.
"Just an ordinary friend, and you are willing to go this far? Then I want to know if you still lack friends. " Iciz seemed to want to see something from Zhang Heng's eyes, but in the end, she had to give up.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you do it? The sooner you finish, the sooner I can help you kill Seth. "" Well, I can cure her illness.
Although it will take some time, I need to prepare for the healing ritual first. It will take about twenty minutes. Since you don't plan to go in, just wait outside the door. Don't worry, I won't wake her up. The ritual should be completed before dawn. She won't even know what happened. However, her body is very weak now. Even if I cure her, she still needs to do rehabilitation training on her own to return to a normal person's physical fitness. I'm not sure how long it will take. I've said what I need to say.
If there are no problems, let's make a contract. "Iciz opened her suitcase and took out a piece of kraft paper and a quill. She pierced her skin with the tip of the quill, sucked some blood out, and wrote a few lines on it. After that, she handed the kraft paper and quill to Zhang Heng.
"After you see that there are no problems, sign your name in the lower right corner. By the way, I want to remind you that the effect of my contract is still stronger than the one you signed with the little succubus. If I save your friend, but you fail to kill Seth as promised, your body will rapidly age and die within a month."
Zhang Heng did not say anything when he heard what Iciz said. He took a look at the contract, learned from Iciz, sucked some of his blood with the quill, and signed his name. After that, he handed the kraft paper and quill back to Iciz.
"Very good." Iciz put away the pen and paper and said with satisfaction, "It seems that we have reached a consensus. I will help you save her. Remember, you must guard the door for me during the ritual. Don't even let the nurses on duty in."
"No problem."
After receiving Zhang Heng's reply, Iciz first cast a sleeping spell on the ward to ensure that Meinan would not wake up. After that, she walked in with her suitcase. Through the glass window, Zhang Heng saw Iciz open her suitcase and take out a lotus scepter and her Encore necklace. She then put the Encore necklace around Meinan's neck. After that, she took out an unknown creature's heart from the suitcase. It was about twice the size of a human heart.
Iciz placed the heart under Meinan's bed. She also placed a bag of grains and a branch under the bed … Zhang Heng did not look at it anymore. He found a chair next to him and sat down. Iciz tossed and turned inside for two hours. During that time, a strange green light flashed, attracting the attention of the nurse behind the desk.
Zhang Heng had to let the nurse who had been on duty for half the night go to sleep and relax. Two hours later, the door of the ward opened again, and Iciz walked out with a tired look on her face.
"The process was a little more troublesome than I thought, but her body is fine now."
