Chapter 371 The last guest of the hospital?
"Has it been like this ever since you came back?"
"Yes, he was like this as soon as the military vehicle arrived at headquarters."
"Haven't you experienced any other trauma?"
"I do not know."
Inside the dormitory, Li Jie looked at Lin Qiye, who was staring blankly, with a strange expression, not knowing what to say.
This kid, he's probably faking being sick...
He knew, of course, that Lin Qiye's illness was likely related to his activation of the chaotic divine soul within the hospital, but he couldn't say these things openly.
After all, apart from Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang, the others had almost no knowledge of the K-type gods.
Bringing it up rashly might have the opposite effect.
"You all go out first, I'd like to talk to him."
Li Jie sat down next to Lin Qiye and waved to Fatty and the others.
"Galan, you go out too."
Seeing that the girl in the blue dress beside him was still hesitant, he spoke softly and added.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt him."
"Of course, brother, we're right outside the door. Just call us if you need anything."
Since Li Jie had already put it that way, Jialan couldn't refuse, so she could only walk towards the door, looking back every few steps.
After everyone had left the room, he used the spatial power of the Immortal-Trapping Sword to isolate the dormitory.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
Seeing that Lin Qiye did not intend to answer, Li Jie did not press the matter, but simply sat quietly to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long while, a ripple finally appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"Brother, something's happened at the hospital..."
"I know, the last guest... or rather, the patient, has disappeared, right?"
"Hmm...Bragi said...He is one of the three pillar gods of the Krishnamurti, the Chaos of Subjugation..."
"Yes, he's right..."
"Why is He in the hospital? Or rather, where do the deities in the hospital come from?"
"You've stumped me with that question..."
"However, you can ask about the memorial if you have the chance."
"commemorate?"
Upon hearing this familiar name, Lin Qiye's emotions finally stirred.
The little girl who left the note in the hospital? ...
Where should I look for her?
As if sensing his confusion, Li Jie continued speaking.
“There will always be opportunities in the future. Although I don’t know where your hospital came from, I do have some guesses about the real guest in this sixth ward.”
"He is very likely related to the war of the gods a hundred years ago."
"Isn't the patient in the sixth ward in a state of confusion?"
"That's not accurate, at least not at the very beginning."
"why?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye sat up like a curious child, frowning as he looked at the mysterious-looking Li Jie.
I have this feeling...
Brother Li is even more familiar with the hospital than I am...
Can his mother talk to him about this much?
Or.......
Did Brother Li learn other information about the Gods Mental Hospital from other places?
"You should be able to sense the unique power of the rules within the hospital, such as the mystery of those locked in the underground cells, where you, as the director, can decide their life or death with a single word."
"That's right, in the hospital, I can indeed do some things that I can't do in the real world."
"If that's the case, then could we assume that this hospital might possess some kind of self-awareness?"
"Brother, you mean... the Gods' Mental Hospital might actually be alive?!"
"That's not necessarily true..."
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further off track, Li Jie stopped in time and did not pursue the issue any further.
"Let's get back to the patients' problems. I don't know much about the other deities, so I'll use Aunt Nyx as an example."
"Was she experiencing some mental health issues before I met her?"
“That’s right.” Lin Qiye nodded affirmatively. A mental hospital, after all, must be inhabited by mentally ill people.
"I can't think of any other reason besides a major blow or damage to the soul that could cause mental problems for a goddess like Aunt Nyx, who is at the highest level of enlightenment."
"Right now, I can barely communicate with a trace of the power of heaven and earth. Although my spiritual strength may not be comparable to that of the gods, it's not far off."
"Let me put it this way: if you want to forcibly sever my soul, it would have to be done by a god whose realm is far superior to mine, or it would have to be done while I am seriously injured. Otherwise, my soul cannot be damaged at all before my physical body is completely destroyed."
"Therefore, the only reason why Aunt Nyx, who is a supreme goddess, would suffer a mental breakdown is because she has suffered a major blow."
"If I'm not mistaken, a hundred years ago, when the mist descended upon the world, the various kingdoms and divine realms had to sacrifice some things in order to protect themselves. Aunt Nyx, as the mother of the Olympian gods, had countless offspring. Judging from her current irreconcilable conflict with Olympus, something extremely unpleasant must have happened back then."
"For example... sacrificing her child to save the divine realm itself..."
“Let’s think about it from another angle. It’s very likely that the other gods also developed mental problems around that time and were admitted to your hospital.”
“Brother, I wasn’t even born a hundred years ago…” Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye’s eyes widened, and he said in shock.
"Don't interrupt."
"profound......."
Li Jie glared at him, annoyed.
Where were we just writing this? ...
Interrupted by Lin Qiye, Li Jie forgot what he was supposed to say next.
That's right, everything he said above was made up. His purpose was simple: to make Lin Qiye believe that the patient in the sixth ward was not the culprit behind the divine war a hundred years ago, Fuxing Chaos.
Regardless, the gods in the hospital had been of considerable help to Lin Qiye, and he didn't want the premature appearance of Chaos to create a rift between Lin Qiye and the hospital.
"Do you know that chaos does not belong to our world?"
"I don't know... I haven't learned anything about the Cthulhu pantheon yet, and my knowledge of them is limited to folklore..."
"Well, I can tell you with certainty now that Chaos and the entire Cthulhu pantheon are visitors from another world, not locals."
"So, how could a hospital that includes five local gods possibly attract an otherworldly god into its world?"
When Li Jie saw Lin Qiye's eyes change from blank to confused and then to determined, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so difficult... I finally managed to fool them...
