Xinglan's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. The tip of the knife slowly approached Hera's palm, then she gently poked it before quickly withdrawing it.

The blade tip had just touched Hera's soft skin and slightly dented before bouncing back, leaving no wound on her skin.

The rest of the group: ...

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I was just too nervous! I didn't expect Hera's skin to be so good, I'll try again, just one more time!"

Sun Hai nodded helplessly.

"Thank you, Captain!" After thanking him, Xinglan raised the knife again and slowly stabbed it into Hera's hand.

No mistakes allowed, no mistakes allowed, this is the last chance!

Xinglan kept repeating it to herself, but the more she did so, the more her hands trembled.

Hera seemed to notice Xinglan's tension and slowly asked, "What... are you doing?"

Xinglan looked up and forced a smile at Hera. "I'm just cutting your hand to see if you have any regenerative abilities. Don't worry, I'll be very careful!"

Hera began to think. She wasn't stupid; she had understood most of their discussion. If she demonstrated her regenerative abilities now, they might believe she was a symbiote. If she didn't, while they wouldn't do anything to her, they might continue their investigation. But what would happen if they continued their investigation?

Hera felt like her brain wasn't working properly again. She didn't know what the benefits would be of showing off her abilities, but she also didn't know what the benefits and drawbacks would be of not showing them off. She hadn't thought like this in a long time.

After a moment of contemplation, Hera finally made her decision.
