Chapter 1106: Snake in the Atrium
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fan inan’s expression changed again. She shifted her gaze from Beta to the white kitten in her arms. Coincidentally, the kitten was also looking at her, but there was no expression in its green pupils. They looked like two green agates without any impurities.
Fan inan knew that Loki was the world’s most outstanding transformation master. When Cheng Sihan brought her to et Loki for the first ti, the kitten had transford into a Scottish fold.
Thus, it would be unsurprising if Loki transford into a little white kitten and appeared here tonight. In fact, this was also why Fan inan couldn’t recognize Beta imdiately. Beta entered the abandoned subway line with Cheng Sihan. At that ti, she didn’t bring the cat with her, and Beta never went out again. The chances of her picking up a cat here were basically zero.
Of course, if the cat were Loki, then it would be a different story.
However, faced with Fan inan’s questioning gaze, Beta neither admitted nor denied it. She just smiled. “Teacher knows why you ca to him. You probably don’t have much ti left. Tsk, tsk. How pitiful. You hope teacher can find you a way to cheat death.”
Fan inan didn’t deny it. What happened to her wasn’t a secret, to begin with. She had known from since she first t Loki, but Loki’s stance had always been very ambiguous until now. He didn’t say if he had a way to help her, nor did he say that he couldn’t help her.
Fan inan wanted to fight for the agent position because she knew that if she beca Loki’s agent, Loki would definitely not let her die. If she died on the hospital bed before fighting with other agents, Loki would be in big trouble.
However, Fan inan didn’t know why Loki would help him. Loki had already withdrawn the power he had given her, and had chosen his agent. Based on Fan inan’s understanding of Loki, although he did at tis help strangers just for fun, deceiving the Grim Reaper, for instance, it was impossible for him to do it on a whim or out of concern for their previous friendship.
Moreover, judging from the test he gave to Cheng Sihan to kill her own sister, Loki really didn’t care about her life just because Fan inan had been his agent for a period of ti.
However, Fan inan didn’t expect Beta to continue. “The goddess of death, Hila, is teacher’s daughter. No one in this world knows Hila better than him, so if anyone can help you, it has to be teacher.”
After saying that, Beta looked at Fan inan, hoping to see the fervent eyes or excitent on the latter’s face. It was as though an oasis suddenly appeared in front of a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for two whole days without a drop of water, or a shipwreck survivor spotting a passing ship—enough to rekindle their hope of survival in a ti of complete desolation and despair.
To Beta’s surprise, although Fan inan’s eyes lit up, she quickly regained her calm.
“What’s the price?”
“It’s a relief to talk to senior sister,” Cheng Sihan said. “But don’t worry, it’s different from the previous test. What teacher asked you to do this ti is very simple. It’s a piece of cake for you. A piece of cake in exchange for your life. There’s no better deal than this, right?”
“Is that what you and my sister said?” Fan inan asked in return. She glanced at the white cat in Beta’s arms, “If Loki has sothing to do, why not just send you to do it? Or find my sister. She’s much better than . Wouldn’t it be safer to hand it over to her?”
“Teacher isn’t Santa Claus. He rides a reindeer carriage on the roof of every child who wishes for sothing. Then, he goes down the chimney and puts the gift into their socks,” Beta said. ” Teacher has especially provided you with this transaction, and only you can complete it. As for your sister...”
Beta paused, “Teacher has so opinions about her this ti. It’s not because she wanted to force
to find him, and she even showed disrespect to teacher... you know, teacher has never cared about these things. If we can really deceive teacher one day, he will definitely be happy for us. What made teacher unhappy this ti was your sister’s stubbornness. You have sufficient reason for wanting to beco an agent, but your sister lives for others. After such a long ti, she still hasn’t improved, after all. Otherwise, teacher wouldn’t have lost patience with her and co to
again.”
“I don’t think living for others is a sad thing,” Fan inan said plainly.
Beta shrugged. “I don’t intend to argue with you, senior sister, because we’re not here tonight to discuss so philosophical proposition. Why don’t you listen to what teacher wants you to do?”
Fan inan was silent for a mont. “Before agreeing to your request, I need to ask you a few questions.”
Beta was stunned for a mont, then nodded. “Sure, I’m not in a hurry anyway, but I’ll only answer the questions I know. If your question is beyond my understanding, then there’s nothing I can do.”
“My sister ca down with you. Where is she now?”
“Ahh... this...” Beta scratched her head. “I don’t know. We were separated in that infinite loop tunnel before. I thought your sister would be trapped in that tunnel, but I went back later and found that she was no longer there. As for where she went, I’m not sure if she’s still alive. You should know whose territory this is now. I’m actually just a guest here like you guys.”
“Then how did you get out of that endless tunnel?” Fan inan asked.
“I’m sorry, this is my secret. Just like how I know that you actually have a very powerful tool hidden on you, ready to give
a fatal blow at any ti, but I won’t ask you how you plan to kill . I Can’t tell you how I got out of that tunnel.”
“What’s under the hole on the second floor?”
They couldn’t get any valuable answers about Cheng Sihan, so Fan inan changed the question.
“It’s a pool,” Beta said honestly. Before Fan inan could ask her any more questions, he continued, “You’ll definitely ask
what’s under the pool, but I don’t know. The water is a little cold, and I didn’t bring my swimsuit, so I didn’t have any intention of going down for a swim. But I know your boyfriend went down, and he didn’t co out. He must have found sothing down there.”
“Jengard is at the bottom of the pool, right?”
“Jengard?” Beta’s face showed a hint of amusent. “Of course the snake of the atrium is in the atrium.”
