After the three of them cleaned up the ward, Han Lu and Mei Nan took the bone bow and crown wrapped in a bedsheet and left the hospital in the elevator. Zhang Heng, on the other hand, climbed through the window, returned to the emergency room, retrieved his clothes and personal belongings, and left quietly.
The three met up in the car, and Han Lu was still a little shaken.
"I still can't believe you killed Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," Mei Nan said to Zhang Heng, who opened the car door.
Zhang Heng sat in the seat, closed the door, and shook his head. "It's meaningless to discuss this kind of thing. We came here to find your sister, but we lost her again."
"That's a problem. To be honest, I don't want to drown again. It feels terrible," Mei Nan said with a bitter smile.
"We may have a chance," Zhang Heng said.
"What chance?"
"Why did your sister come looking for Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"
"The three major guilds are chasing after her, and she is very angry about it. Is she trying to use Pestilence to kill the three major guilds?" "It's not easy to kill so many players in one go. Few gods can do it, but Pestilence should be one of them. She may have gotten what she wants from Pestilence … No, Pestilence is not a person who is easy to talk to. To get his help, I'm afraid she will have to pay a high price. This contact is just a test. They will establish contact first, and there should be follow-up contact."
"This is the most reasonable inference," Zhang Heng said, pulling out a Samsung Galaxy. "I got Pestilence's phone."
"The two of them may contact each other again, but why must it be through the phone?"
"Because the phone is the only clue we have now," Zhang Heng turned on the laptop next to him, "I can swipe the phone to clear the lock screen password and see who the contacts are."
Han Lu's fate was at stake, and she was nervous.
Zhang Heng asked Han Lu, "When did you see them come out of the room?"
"Uh … around 11: 03 or 04," Han Lu replied, closing her eyes and thinking. She closed her eyes and thought for a while. "At 11: 03, I looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the nurse's station.
"The most recent incoming call was at 10: 20 am, so it shouldn't be her." Zhang Heng flipped to the address book and continued to scroll down. "All the contacts are from colleagues in the hospital. I don't see any suspicious names. If that's the case, we can only wait for them to contact us."
"I didn't expect the knight on a white horse to be so dedicated to his job in this hospital."
"You can even change your voice when you disguise yourself as someone else. Can you imitate Pestilence's voice?"
"Sure, but I need to hear what he says first."
"That's easy. Since he's already a director in this hospital, he should have some imaging materials online." While talking, Zhang Heng quickly found an expert forum on infectious diseases and epidemiology organized by the city's Ministry of Health. As an invited expert, Pestilence also gave a speech at the meeting. But now, it seemed a little dark humor.
Meinan Fan looked at Pestilence's nonsensical speech and cleared her throat. The next moment, the voice that came out of her mouth was "Director Kuang".
"Under the leadership of Deputy Mayor Guo, we will build a harmonious and loving doctor-patient relationship …"
Zhang Heng looked at Han Lu, and the latter nodded. "Generally speaking, it's fine. Just make your tone a little colder."
"Got it."
"Then, we have to wait for your sister to contact Pestilence again." Zhang Heng asked, "Can you still hold on?"
"Uhh, I'm fine for now," Han Lu said. "I've checked the information. It is said that a person can go without sleep for about ten days. Basically, after seven days, the brain will begin to suffer damage. After five days, hallucinations will occur, and there is a possibility that the person will fall into a state of insanity."
"We will find a way to solve the problem within five days," Zhang Heng said.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll have to drink some water in your luxurious bathtub," Meinan Fan sighed.
"Then … where are we going now?" Han Lu opened another bottle of coffee. Now, she drank it like she was drinking water.
"Let's go back," Zhang Heng said. "You need to rest. Of course, you can't really fall asleep. If that guy really wants to deal with the three major guilds, the battlefield must be in the city where we live."
"Okay, then I'll ask my assistant to book the return ticket."
"Give me some time to deal with some personal matters. Let's meet at the airport." Zhang Heng then contacted the bartender and asked for the address of the game checkpoint in the city.
He had just received two pieces of equipment from White Horse Knight. The crown was fine, but the bone bow obviously couldn't be brought on the plane. Sending it by ordinary express delivery would also be difficult. So, Zhang Heng decided to go through the game checkpoint's special logistics service. The advantage was that it was safe, fast, and wouldn't get lost. The downside, however, was that, like all game checkpoints, it was shockingly expensive.
Shipping one game item cost 15 game points, and two would cost 20 game points. That was equivalent to almost 800,000 yuan. The profiteering was comparable to robbery. Fortunately, Zhang Heng had earned a lot of game points in the Whistleblower quest, so he didn't have to worry about this for the time being.
Meinan and Zhang Heng arrived at the game checkpoint together. After the latter paid the fee, she pulled him to a corner.
"You know that even if we find my sister, she might not know the solution to the Dreamland of Death. Or maybe there is no solution to the Dreamland of Death at all."
Zhang Heng nodded. "I did consider this possibility."
"So … should we tell her about this as well?"
"I will. When the time is right," Zhang Heng said.
"When is the right time?"
"When we are sure that there is nothing we can do."
"She may die in pain."
"That's better than giving up at the last minute before we can save her," Zhang Heng said. "What's keeping her going now is the belief that we have a way to save her. If we tell her the truth, she might not even last five days."
"You are the boss. You have the final say." Meinan shrugged and stopped arguing.
"Thank you." Zhang Heng paused, looking into Meinan's eyes. "I haven't had the chance to say thank you for what you did for me before …"
"Oh, are you talking about the stupid thing where I put my head into a bathtub full of water and almost drowned? Unfortunately, in the end, I still couldn't find my sister. Instead, I was almost killed by White Horse Knight. "
"If you need any help in the future, remember to come to me."
"Wow. That sounds kind of sweet." Meinan blinked. "Then I'll take it seriously. Are you serious? You even killed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Why didn't I realize you were so powerful before?"
