Of the six wards, only the door to the first one could be opened.
Is this the only one that is set to be "openable", or is it that, like the door I've been knocking on for five years, my current strength is only enough to open the first door?
Lin Qiye knocked on the door for five years. Only after opening his eyes and gaining enhanced mental perception was he able to open the door and enter the hospital.
So, will I need to increase my strength before I can open the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth wards?
Lin Qiye was unsure, and he didn't have time to dwell on it right now.
Because right before his eyes, the door to the ward that had once been covered in seals was slowly opening.
The ward was small and dimly lit. In the center of the ward was a chair, and a woman in a black dress with star-studded details sat on it, staring blankly ahead.
Apart from this person and a chair, there was nothing else in the dimly lit room.
Lin Qiye cautiously walked to the door, thought for a moment, and then put on a very official smile, waving to the woman inside.
"Hello, I am Lin Qiye."
No matter who she is, it's always good to be polite. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. If you're polite, even if she's a god, she probably won't make things difficult for you.
However, Lin Qiye's face was frozen with a smile, while the woman in black remained motionless like a statue.
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and walked straight into the room.
The moment he stepped into the room, lines of text suddenly appeared on the wall behind the woman in black.
"Ward 1.
Patient: Nyx
Task: Help Nyx treat her mental illness. When the treatment progress reaches the specified values (1%, 50%, 100%), you can randomly extract some of Nyx's abilities.
Current treatment progress: 0%"
"Nyx?" Lin Qiye gasped after seeing the words on the wall!
Although he didn't know much about mythology, he had heard of Nyx, the goddess of night, as one of the five creator gods in ancient Greek mythology.
This is one of the gods who stand at the very top of the mythological system!
So, this seemingly dazed woman in front of you is the famous Goddess of the Night?
With a cool and elegant temperament, flawless features, and smooth black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, her black star-studded dress is as deep as the night, making her fair skin appear as delicate and flawless as snow-capped snow.
Although her eyes were lifeless, the aura she exuded simply by sitting there was far beyond what a human could possess.
Even the empresses who existed in history could not compare to her.
Nyx, she is a goddess and an emperor.
The emperor of the night!
Lin Qiye stroked his chin, scrutinizing Nyx closely. He had seen God with his own eyes, and compared to the seraphim on the moon, he always felt that something was missing from Nyx.
Divinity? Power? Authority?
Or are they all too few?
Lin Qiye didn't know, but he could guess that Nyx's current state was inextricably linked to her illness.
But you should know, this is a god!
A god standing at the very pinnacle of mythology!
How could she be sick?
Was her illness naturally occurring, or... caused by human intervention?
Lin Qiye didn't quite believe it was naturally occurring, but if it was man-made... Lin Qiye didn't know what kind of being could make the Goddess of Night sick.
Moreover, it's a mental illness.
If what the writing on the wall says is true, Lin Qiye now needs to try to cure Nyx's illness, but what exactly is wrong with her?
As a former "mental patient," Lin Qiye knew a little about mental illness. Generally speaking, it can be divided into depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, and so on.
To treat Nyx, we first need to determine exactly what illness she has.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then squatted down in front of Nyx and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Can you hear me?" Lin Qiye whispered in Nyx's ear.
Suddenly, Nyx's body trembled, startling Lin Qiye, who instinctively took several steps back!Immediately afterwards, Nyx's head stiffly turned towards Lin Qiye, his blank eyes staring straight at him!
Lin Qiye swallowed hard, not daring to move.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just as Lin Qiye felt his scalp tingling from Nyx's stare, Nyx's expression changed.
From blank stare to confusion.
From doubt to shock.
From shock to tears!
Nyx's body trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she managed to open her lips with difficulty.
She choked up for a long time with a hoarse voice:
"I've finally found you... my child!!"
At that moment, Lin Qiye felt a surge of electricity rush from the soles of his feet to his brain, leaving his mind blank with shock!
She?I?
Child?
Um???
Lin Qiye truly didn't remember what his parents looked like, since they had disappeared after giving birth to him and entrusting him to his aunt.
Can...
My mother should, possibly, probably was a human being.
Not the goddess of the night.
No, what if...
Wait a minute! This foreign goddess of the night speaks fluent Chinese!
Oh right, this was in my dream. It's not surprising that I could understand the language of God... Perhaps this is brainwave transmission signal?
Just as Lin Qiye was lost in thought, Nyx stood up, opened her arms, and staggered toward Lin Qiye!
She ran faster and faster, her expression becoming increasingly excited!
At this moment, Lin Qiye's mind was in complete chaos. He subconsciously opened his arms, wanting to accept the embrace of the Goddess of the Night!
However, The Goddess of the Night ran past Lin Qiye.
She hugged Lin Qiye tightly...
A small vase on the windowsill behind.
Nyx clutched the vase tightly, tears streaming down her face. "My child... you're still alive! I've finally found you!"
Lin Qiye:...???
Then, Nyx's gaze fell on the chair where she had been sitting for who knows how long.
After a moment of stunned silence, she rushed forward, hugged the chair and the vase, and burst into tears again!
"Hypnos! My child, so you were here all along!!"
The disheveled Lin Qiye stood there like a statue, watching helplessly as Nyx recognized the vase, the chair, the wall, and the air as his children, crying her heart out.
Lin Qiye: I think I roughly know what's wrong with her... She's quite ill...
Early in the morning, Lin Qiye woke up from his dream and sighed helplessly as he looked at the bare ceiling.
After spending a night with Nyx, Lin Qiye felt completely unwell.
Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly let out a soft "Eh".
In his mind, the Gods Mental Hospital shrouded in mist was floating within it, and he seemed to have a close connection with the hospital.
Now he doesn't need to sleep and can immerse his consciousness in the mental hospital at any time.
Is this the benefit of opening the door...? Lin Qiye will try to connect his consciousness to the mental hospital and will soon be able to perceive everything that is happening inside.
Of course, those five sealed wards are still inaccessible.
At that moment, Nyx was in the yard, holding a vase and a chair, talking to himself in the air beside him, no one knew what he was saying.
Lin Qiye sat on the bed, rubbing his eyes in frustration:
"Treat her illness, treat her illness... I'm not a doctor, how can I help her treat her illness..."
Suddenly, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.
