“Anything else?” The doctor played with TT-33, sizing up Mouse in front of him with an unfriendly expression, “Coconut gave you [Whispers], but who knows if it’s because you’re too good of an actor that you fooled her first. It seems that the possibility of you being Loki is even higher.”

Mouse was a little intimidated by the doctor’s stare, and the sweat on his forehead began to seep out. He tried hard 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, and he could not think of anything. After a long while, he finally managed to say, “If I were really Loki, I wouldn’t be as easy to see through as it is for me. He is the god of lies and tricks, so his lies should be flawless.”

The doctor was stunned. He obviously did not expect Mouse to think in the opposite direction when he was cornered. According to him, the more unlikely it was for Loki to be Loki’s man, the more likely it was for him to be Loki’s man. So who was the most unlikely person to be Loki’s man now? The doctor thought about it and realized that it was him. He shouted angrily, “No nesting!”

But after Mouse said that, everyone realized that the problem seemed a little unsolvable. If they really played real-life werewolf, all the players combined wouldn’t be a match for Loki.

At that moment, Zhang Heng said, “I have an idea.”

“What idea?”The doctor asked.

“I have an item in my hand that can increase the damage of mythical creatures,” Zhang Heng said as he pulled out the [Hidden Scabbard] from his waist.

The doctor looked alarmed. “You’re not thinking of using this knife to cut us, are you?”

“It’s not that exaggerated. I just need to cut your fingers a little,” Zhang Heng said.

“What happens if you get cut?”

“Ordinary people will be fine, but supernatural creatures will continue to bleed,” Zhang Heng said. “This is the only way to find out which one of us is Loki.”

The doctor hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head and said, “I won’t let you cut my hand with an unknown game item.”

“It doesn’t matter. You can come last. We’ll cut first. If you find Loki in the middle, you won’t need to be cut. If you don’t, you won’t need to be cut either,” Zhang Heng said. He didn’t care whether the doctor agreed or not. He turned to ask, “Who wants to go first?”

The young man had always been Zhang Heng’s staunch supporter. This time, he didn’t disappoint Zhang Heng. Hearing this, he immediately reached out his hand. Zhang Heng used the [Hidden Scabbard] to gently slice the tip of his thumb.

Not long after, blood dripped from the wound. Zhang Heng tossed the young man a bag of cotton swabs, and the latter pulled one out to plug the wound.

The atmosphere at the scene also became tense. About half a minute later, the young man removed the cotton swabs and raised his injured thumb again.

The wound on his hand had already scabbed, and no more blood dripped out.

“Ha.” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“How is it? Does this count as passing the test?” Master Kui asked. She rolled up her sleeves. “It’s my turn now, right?”

“Okay, reach out.” Zhang Heng pressed his palm on the hilt of the [Hidden Scabbard] as he spoke. However, the next moment, something unexpected happened. Without warning, Zhang Heng suddenly exploded. The [Hidden Scabbard] left the scabbard with a flash of cold light and slashed toward the left at a speed untraceable to the naked eye.

The doctor was shocked by this sudden scene. He finally understood why Zhang Heng had said that a TT-33 would not be able to kill him. With the distance between them, the doctor might not have had the time to shoot. The [Hidden Scabbard] had already cut off his hand that was holding the 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 is the meaning of this?”

Zhang Heng did not answer. He only looked at the young man in the uniform not far away.

His attack just now had been unexpected. The speed of the blade was extremely fast, and he had even used his sword techniques. However, the young man in the uniform that he targeted had dodged it. No, to be more precise, he almost dodged it.

Although the young man had dodged very quickly and displayed incredible speed in the moment of life and death, his opponent tonight was Zhang Heng, who had level 4 blade skills. The blade of the [Hidden Scabbard] cut through his clothes in the end, as well as the skin under his clothes, leaving a shallow wound on his chest.

The young man looked at Zhang Heng across from him with a strange expression on his face.

Most of the players were still in a daze. They didn’t know why Zhang Heng would attack the young man, but Master Kui seemed to have thought of something. He quietly moved to stand next to Zhang Heng.

The young man lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he didn’t see the wound on his chest, “Your blade... has the ability to heal wounds, and it also has the ability to deal additional damage to mythical creatures. Yes, it’s the feeling of powerlessness from the withdrawal of power.”

Zhang Heng did not answer. He slowly made a starting position.

He did not dare to be careless when dealing with the famous evil god Loki. Zhang Heng actually had a tool on him that could be used to detect lies—[Vow Rings]. However, Zhang Heng did not need to take it out to know that this F-grade item would be useless against Loki, the god of lies, Loki.

Furthermore, considering the time Loki was born, he should be able to see the effect of the item in the player’s hands with just a glance, except for the [Hidden Scabbard].

Although the [Hidden Scabbard] was born from the [Ordinary Knife], after being reforged, there was almost no similarity between it and the previous one. Other than its forger, only Zhang Heng and the bartender knew about the properties of this knife. Among them, the bartender was sure that after the incident with Jemengarde, she was intentionally trying to get close to Zhang Heng, but it definitely had nothing to do with Loki,

the forger who was hired for the reforging was also a person who kept his mouth shut, according to the bartender. Therefore, Zhang Heng was still inclined to believe that Loki did not know enough about this knife. But even so, Zhang Heng did not tell the truth completely.

He did not even hide the [Hidden Scabbard’s] characteristics. He only classified the bleeding characteristic as a bonus damage to mythical creatures. It was precisely because of this that the teenager was subdued, or more accurately, it was Loki who took the bait in the end.

“What a brilliant trick.” Loki did not seem to be angry. Instead, he praised, “But, how can you be sure that I’m willing to let you cut off my finger?”

“Because you’re Loki, and you always think you’re the smartest person in the room.”
