Chapter 1017: The New Caregiver and the Unlucky One
Lin Qiye, wearing a white coat, pushed open the door to the dean’s office.
As soon as he walked in, he froze in place.
“Bula…”
“Shh!!”
Bulaji, hiding behind the curtains in the dean’s office, frantically made a gesture to Lin Qiye to be quiet.
He sneakily walked to the door, cautiously looked outside to confirm no one had followed, immediately closed the door, and let out a long sigh.
“Bulaji, why are you in my office?” Lin Qiye asked, puzzled by the scene.
“I really had nowhere else to hide.” Bulaji smiled bitterly, “Lately, Monkey and King barge into my room every morning like bandits, drag me to the courtyard, and force me to play music for their battles…
These days, I worry every night in my dreams, fearing they’ll burst in and carry me away at any moment. I, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for several days!
They’re completely unreasonable brutes, they’re devils!”
Looking at Bulaji’s indignant expression and his panda-like dark circles, Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly.
“So, you slept in my office last night?”
“That’s right.”
“…” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “Have you considered why they’re so insistent on bothering you?”
“Because I play the piano too well.” Bulaji replied without hesitation.
Lin Qiye held his forehead, “…Anything else besides that?”
“What else could there be?”
“Perhaps they’re hoping you’ll integrate with them through this method?”
Bulaji was stunned, “Integrate with them? Why?”
Then, he recalled the scene when Lin Qiye had talked to those two before, as if realizing something.
“You mean… they’re doing this deliberately? To get me involved in their… um… ‘daily activities’?”
“You should be grateful you’re a musician who can’t fight, otherwise their approach would probably be to drag you in for a fight.” Lin Qiye patted his shoulder and continued,
“Your matters, you need to resolve them yourself. How to get along with those two is up to you.
I have work to do, I’ll go first.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand, then opened the underground passage in the dean’s office and walked straight toward the cell holding the “Mystery.”
Bulaji stood alone in the dean’s office, lost in thought.
…
Lin Qiye walked along the dim corridor and arrived in front of two new cells.
In the cell on his left was a red pencil drawing circles on the ground by itself, and in the cell on his right was an eerily swaying roly-poly.
During the chaos in Beijing, he had personally killed these two “Klein” level “Mysteries” using [Qitian Manifestation]. Lin Qiye took these ward attendants of this level quite seriously.
Although he was still at the “Limitless” level and couldn’t summon “Klein” level ward attendants, he could feel that he wasn’t too far from breaking through to “Klein.”
Once he breaks through to “Klein,” these ward attendants of the same level would become his important right-hand helpers.
The influence of a “Klein” level ward attendant was far beyond what “Limitless” level ones could compare to.
Even among the Night Watchers of Great Xia, there weren’t more than twenty “Klein” level experts, and this hospital currently had five “Klein” level ward attendants. If these two “Klein” ones were added as ward attendants, that would make seven.
Seven “Klein” level ward attendants meant that Lin Qiye alone would possess enough combat power to confront a special squad.
Of course, this was just “confront,” not defeat.
The combat power of a special squad couldn’t be evaluated solely by the members’ levels. Through their extremely coordinated cooperation, they could achieve effects greater than the sum of their parts.
At least Lin Qiye was certain that if he fought against the former [Mask] or [Medium], [Phoenix] with seven “Klein” level ward attendants, he would definitely lose.
However, the current [Night Curtain] hadn’t reached this level of direct combat power yet.
Lin Qiye’s gaze turned to the panels behind the two cells.
”
Criminal: Planchette Ghost
Choice: As a mythical creature killed by your own hands, you have the right to decide its soul’s fate:
Choice 1: Directly erase its soul, making it completely vanish from the world.
Choice 2: Let its ‘fear value’ of you reach 60, and it can be hired as a hospital ward attendant, caring for patients while providing you protection to some extent.
Current fear value: 95
”
The roly-poly in the other cell was also judged by fear value, but its fear value was only 13 points.
This didn’t surprise Lin Qiye.
From their previous battle, he could tell that the planchette was much more timid, and being personally broken by his demon ape form had probably caused significant psychological trauma.
But the roly-poly… it remained angry until death, after all, Lin Qiye’s sneak attack method wasn’t particularly honorable.
Lin Qiye first walked to the planchette’s cell door and spoke calmly:
“Be my ward attendant, or die.”
The pencil drawing circles on the ground suddenly paused.
After a moment, a spine-chilling female voice echoed:
“Planchette… planchette… you are my past life, I am your present life… if you’re willing to be his ward attendant, please draw a circle… if you’re not willing to be his ward attendant… also please draw a circle.”
Under Lin Qiye’s gaze, the red pencil froze for a while before shakily drawing a circle.
“She agrees.”
The female voice echoed.
Lin Qiye: …
After signing the contract with the planchette ghost, Lin Qiye stood at the roly-poly’s cell door.
“Be my ward attendant, or die.”
The painted man on the roly-poly’s surface glared at him angrily, not moving an inch.
“Not willing?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
The roly-poly still didn’t move.
“Don’t regret it.” Lin Qiye gave him a meaningful look before turning to leave the underground cells.
Seeing Lin Qiye leave just like that, the roly-poly man’s face showed contempt, snorting disdainfully.
After a while, Lin Qiye came back.
This time, he was carrying a dog… a pug wearing a tailcoat.
Lin Qiye casually threw Wang Cai into the cell, dusted off his hands, and left without even looking at the roly-poly.
“Good luck.” he said flatly.
After Lin Qiye walked away, the roly-poly man’s brows furrowed, seemingly confused by Lin Qiye’s actions.
He looked down and saw the pug in the tailcoat casually taking a pee at his feet, then standing on two legs and slowly revealing a sinister smile…
