Chapter 1309: The Healing Ritual

Zhang Heng instinctively jumped out of the magic circle the moment he was burned by the flame. However, at the same time, Isis’voice sounded in his ears. “Don’t!”

After a pause, ISIS added, “This is a magic flame. It Won’t harm our bodies. As long as we relax, the teleportation circle will naturally lead us to our destination.”

Zhang Heng reached out to touch the flame in front of him. Sure enough, there were no signs of burns on his skin. In fact, his palm went straight through the flame, therefore, Zhang Heng followed Isis’instructions and relaxed his mind.

The next moment, a familiar feeling of dizziness rushed into his head, and Zhang Heng closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a parking lot with ISIS. Isis looked at the hospital building on the left and shook her head. “It’s been a long time since I last used it. I Can’t believe I missed it by more than 500 meters.”

On the other side, Zhang Heng said, “You designed the teleportation before the game started?”

“You discovered it?”? “That’s right. I was also involved in the development of your game. Not just me, almost all the gods were involved in the development and were responsible for a certain part of it. This is also the reason why this game is so fascinating and incredible. The part about time is the responsibility of Chronos behind you…”Isis seemed to have thought of something, however, he suddenly shut his mouth.

However, he was already a step too late. Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, “You… Know Chronos?”

“The famous god of time, the highest god worshipped by the Orpheus Cult, Chronos. Although we are not from the same god system, of course, I have heard of his name. Furthermore, we met once about 600 years ago, but I am not that familiar with him.”

Zhang Heng did not ask any further questions. He took the suitcase from ISIS and the two of them walked toward the hospital building.

Fan Meinan had a rare disease that few people in the world had, so there were not many doctors who had the ability to help her control the progression of her disease. In addition, she also needed the appropriate treatment equipment, so her choices were limited, after leaving the previous hospital, she transferred here and changed her name and identity.

Fan Meinan knew that if someone really knew about her condition, it would be normal for them to come looking for her. But thankfully, Loki had already been killed by Zhang Heng, and technically, she wasn’t a player. She was just an unregistered resident, loki had thought of a way to bring her into the game, so the player information that had been leaked this time didn’t include her.

In fact, after the incident with Jermaine Gad, she felt like she had been forgotten by the world. No one had any designs on her, and other than Zhang Heng, no one else had contacted her, fan Meinan’s main concern was to wait for death every day.

Even though it had only been a month since they last met, her body had become even thinner. She was practically skin and bones. When Zhang Heng saw her, she was sleeping on the bed, her body curled up into a ball, like a stray dog on the roadside, the back of her hand was covered with needle marks. Beside her pillow was a copy of Mickey Albom’s “Tuesdays”, this book was the author’s recollection of his teacher’s last philosophy lesson every Tuesday for the fourteen weeks before his death.

“Is she the friend you wanted me to help you save?”ISIS asked. She and Zhang Heng were standing outside Fan Meinan’s ward, looking through the glass at Fan Meinan.

“Yes,”Zhang Heng said.

“Do you want to go in and say hello to her first?”

“No need. You can just cure her yourself.”

“Why? If she knew that you were willing to take the risk to kill Seth to save her, she would be very grateful to you. What is your relationship, a lover?”Isis asked curiously.

“No, like I said, it’s just a normal friend,”Zhang Heng said calmly.

“You’re willing to go this far just to be friends? Then I want to know if you still need friends.”Isis seemed to be trying to read Zhang Heng’s eyes, but in the end, she had no choice but to give up.

“Aren’t you in a hurry? Why haven’t you done anything yet? The sooner you’re done, the sooner I can help you kill Seth.”

“Yes, I can treat her illness. Although it will take some time, I need to prepare for the healing ceremony first. It will take about twenty minutes. Since you don’t intend to go in, you can just stand guard outside the door. Don’t worry, I Won’t wake her up. I should be able to finish the ceremony before dawn. She doesn’t even know what happened, but her body is very weak now. Even if I cure her illness, she still needs to do her own rehabilitation training if she wants to return to a normal person’s physical fitness. I’m not sure how long it will take. I’ve said everything I need to say. If there are no problems, let’s make a contract.”

After saying that, ISIS opened her suitcase and took out a piece of Kraft paper and a quill. She used the tip of the quill to pierce her skin and suck out some blood. Then, she wrote a few lines on the paper, then, she passed the paper and Quill to Zhang Heng.

“After you see that there are no problems, you just need to sign your name on the bottom right corner. By the way, this contract of mine is more effective than the thing that little succubus signed with you. 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 didn’t say anything. He took the contract and took a look at it. He imitated ISIS and used a quill pen to absorb some of his blood. After signing the contract, he handed the leather paper and quill pen back to ISIS.

“Very good,”Isis said with satisfaction after putting away the paper and pen, “It seems that we have reached an agreement. I’ll help you save the patient now. Remember, you must guard the door for me during the ceremony. Even the nurses on duty are not allowed in.”

“No problem.”

After receiving the answer, Isis cast a sleeping spell on Fan Meinan to ensure that he wouldn’t wake up. Then, she walked in with her luggage. Through the glass window, Zhang Heng saw Isis Open the luggage, from inside, she took out a lotus scepter and her ankh. She placed the ankh necklace around Fan Meinan’s neck, and then she took out an unknown creature’s heart, it was about twice the size of a human heart.

Isis placed the heart under Fan Meinan’s bed. There was also a bag of grain and a tree branch under the bed… Zhang Heng did not continue reading. He found a chair and sat down, isis spent two hours inside. During that time, there was a strange green light that attracted the nurse behind the desk.

Zhang Heng had no choice but to let the nurse, who had been on duty for half the night, go to sleep to relax. Two hours later, the door to the ward opened again, and the tired ISIS walked out.

“The process is a little more complicated than I expected, but her body is fine now.”
