Chapter 1074: Magic

It was 4:37 am. There weren’t many cars on the street, and there weren’t many pedestrians. Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were the only two customers in the convenience store. Meanwhile, the male shop assistant had put on his headphones and was gaming on his mobile.

The whole city fell silent as if fallen into a deep sleep.

“What about your illness?”Zhang Heng finished the coke in his hand and put the empty aluminum can aside. “You want to become Rocky’s agent because you hope he can cure you, right?”

“I have a very rare illness. Back then, just to find out the cause, my parents took me all over the country and spent almost all of my family’s savings. During that time, every time I opened my eyes, I could see my father’s serious face and my mother secretly wiping away tears.”

“You always look unhappy (# ‘o’). This must be the origin of your WeChat handle, right?” Zhang Heng thought of something and raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right. After the diagnosis, I found out that my illness could not be cured with current medical technology. Furthermore, subsequent treatment would be very high on the expenses. In addition, my brother is still in school, so there are many things for my family to spend money on. I don’t want to become a burden to my family and drag down the people I care about the most. Therefore, I ran away from home with this thought in mind.”

“At that time, I had not yet come into contact with the world we are in now, so I did not have any extravagant hopes for treatment,” Fan Meinan said. “I just wanted to like as far as I could from the city where I could live as freely possible and spend the rest of my days alone in peace. I also bought the ticket casually, so it was purely a coincidence that I came here.

“Moreover, I almost ran out of money a few days after I came here, but my luck was not bad. Before my last penny was spent, I happened to find a job in a restaurant that provided food and accommodation. I was mainly responsible for the cashier and the invoice. From then on, my life gradually stabilized. Of course, I didn’t have the money to continue the treatment. Sometimes, I would lie in the dormitory and wonder if I would die quietly in a strange city alone or if there was a worse situation. Before that, I would gradually lose the ability to move and be unable to work to support myself.

“To prevent getting sent to the hospital for resuscitation and someone contacting my family, I made a decision. If it really came to this, I would end myself first. “However, making up my mind to die and facing death head-on are two completely different things. Even if I had prepared everything and imagined the worst-case scenario, I still couldn’t completely accept the fact that I was going to die.

“That feeling was like someone had placed a clock in my body, and a countdown clock was continuously ticking. I knew that it would one day return to zero, but I didn’t know when that would happen. It just kept on ticking away. As time passed, I couldn’t get used to nor accept it. Instead, I became even more afraid. There was a time when I was in a poor mental state, and I couldn’t sleep at night. Occasionally, I would have nightmares when I fell asleep.

“As a result, my working condition during the day became worse. I made a few miscalculations, got verbal warnings from the boss, and even lost my salary. That’s when she found me.”

“Your sister who was taken away from you when you were a child? Yes, I remember you saying about the telepathic connection you have had between you since young,” Zhang Heng said.

“That’s right. One day, she came to find me. However, at that time, I didn’t know her identity. I even thought that my illness had affected my brain and that I was hallucinating. She walked into the restaurant where I worked and booked the largest private room for herself. Then, she ordered every single dish on the menu. The boss was alarmed and suspected that she was here to cause trouble. However, she immediately took out her credit card and paid for all the meals in advance.

“The boss immediately put on a different expression and urged the kitchen to cook for her. She even pushed back the dishes for the other guests. Then, she went up to her and asked if she had any additional instructions. In the end, she pointed at me and asked me to eat with her. I wanted to say that I was just a cashier, but the boss quickly pushed me into her private room. After everyone left, she told me that she would perform a magic trick for me next.

“I asked her what the trick was, but she didn’t want to continue. She just gave me an address and told me to go there after work. She also told me that she knew that I was already on Death’s list and that once I was on that list, I wouldn’t be able to come down again, but she also said that there was a great existence in the world that could fool everyone, even death. After saying that, she didn’t answer any of my questions. She only told me that we had about 20 minutes to eat.

“After 20 minutes, she used the excuse of going to the bathroom and never came back. After another 10 minutes, the boss realized that something was wrong. He searched the entire restaurant but couldn’t find her. After that, the boss realized that the money he had received for the meal was also missing. He was outraged and immediately called the police. I also went to make a statement, but I hid the address that she gave me.”

“Did you see him after that?”

“Who? My sister?”

“No, I’m talking about Loki.”

“I don’t know. According to Norse mythology, he can transform into anything. I’ve never seen his true face. The day we first met, I saw a Scottish fold. It didn’t speak, mainly because my sister spoke. After that, it gave me a contract for a trial period and a night to think it over. “But considering my situation at the time, I didn’t have much room to think. As long as there was a way to cheat death, no matter how slim the chance was, I had to try. So I accepted the contract and became his agent like my sister. But now, I’ve ruined everything.”

Fan Meinan drank a mouthful of juice and looked out the window at the street. A little black cat had just entered the green belt, “Actually, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn’t be a match for my sister. She’s more like Loki. She’s as cunning and cold as he is, and she can manipulate her target without realizing it. Loki will undoubtedly admire her more. After becoming Loki’s agent, she did a lot of big things, especially during the auction. She fooled the three major guilds and the Chamber of Commerce that participated in the auction.

“In comparison, everything I’ve done can only be considered a small matter. I’ve also taken a lot of blame for some unknown reason. So, this time, I can be considered to have lost wholeheartedly. There’s nothing to complain about. “You don’t have to feel guilty or touched. Even if I had made up my mind to grit my teeth and kill you, I probably wouldn’t have been a match for you. Moreover, my sister’s side might have already completed the test long ago. Now that I think about it, I don’t have much of a chance of winning from the start.”
