Chapter 1182 Sinking
Lin Qiye saw the seriousness in Ji Nian’s eyes, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head:
“Perhaps you think too highly of me. I don’t have such great abilities.”
“Not having them now doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.” Ji Nian crossed her legs and said leisurely, “The faster you grow, the happier I’ll be. I have high hopes for you~”
Lin Qiye smiled helplessly.
“By the way, why did you come to find me so late? Is there something important?”
Seeing they were finally getting to the point, Lin Qiye’s expression gradually became serious: “Regarding Uruk and the hero king Gilgamesh, how much do you know?”
“Gilgamesh? Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Ji Nian was startled, “He’s not one of the patients in the subsequent rooms, is he?”
“That’s right.”
“Interesting… Which room?”
“The fifth room.”
“Then who’s in the fourth room?”
Ji Nian had only opened doors to the third room in the hospital back then, so she didn’t know the identities of patients in the subsequent rooms.
“Sun Wukong.”
“…Holy shit!” Ji Nian became excited, “The Great Sage? The fourth room is actually the Great Sage? That’s my childhood idol! Can you help me get his autograph?”
Lin Qiye: …
“It’s a pity the hospital is in your mind now and I can’t enter, otherwise I would definitely go see him… By the way, you should have opened the last hospital room too, right? Who’s in the sixth room?”
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and said a name:
“Yeland.”
Ji Nian was stunned.
“Yeland? The Holy Lord of the Western Holy Religion?”
Ji Nian seemed to think of something, her brows slightly furrowed, appearing somewhat confused.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qiye asked.
“Nothing… I just find it a bit strange.” Ji Nian pondered, “Haven’t you noticed? As the doors you open progress further back, the divinity in the patients becomes weaker.
From the first door’s supreme god of night Nyx, to the second door’s god of magic Merlin, to Bragi the god of music and poetry who can’t fight, then to the Great Sage who originated as a demon, and the half-human half-god Gilgamesh…
The further back the doors, the closer they are to being ‘human’ rather than gods.
After you mentioned the fourth and fifth rooms, I thought the sixth room would contain a god of human origin, but I didn’t expect it to be the famous Yeland…
The divinity in this one is higher than any of the previous ones.”
Hearing Ji Nian’s reminder, Lin Qiye realized there did seem to be such a pattern. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said:
“Maybe you’re overthinking it. This might just be a coincidence. Besides, apart from Zhou Ping, there are no gods of human origin in the world.”
“Perhaps… Anyway, continue, what about Gilgamesh?”
Lin Qiye recounted Gilgamesh’s symptoms, and after listening, Ji Nian nodded slightly:
“I understand. You want information about him and the Kingdom of Uruk… You’ve come to the right person.”
“You know about it?” Lin Qiye’s eyes brightened.
“The Upper Evil Society’s activities cover not only the ‘human circles’ of various divine countries but also the exploration of ancient divine kingdom ruins. Previously, we had a team explore the hidden history of the Kingdom of Uruk. The detailed report materials are in [Utopia].”
“However, don’t get too excited. History is just history after all. Although I don’t know who targeted Gilgamesh, I suspect it would be difficult to deduce their identity based solely on historical information…
I’ll use the Upper Evil Society’s intelligence network to try to help you investigate, but I can’t guarantee we’ll find anything.”
Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew too little about the mist. If he had to search for clues about Gilgamesh in the mist alone, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Now with the Upper Evil Society’s help, things would be much simpler.
“Thank you.”
“No need to be so polite. Helping you is helping myself.” Ji Nian pointed at him, then at herself,
“We are on the same side.”
…
Two days later.
Lin Qiye walked to the bow of the mist-shrouded pixel cruise ship and looked around.
Through the hazy mist, no islands or land could be seen. This was a sea area that Lin Qiye and his companions had never set foot in before.
“Seven, why are you up so early?”
Baili Pangpang walked out of the cabin, yawning.
“Ji Nian said we would reach [Utopia] early this morning. I came out to take a look.”
“We’re almost there?”
Baili Pangpang looked at the misty sea around them and asked in confusion, “But there’s not even a shadow of an island here… And there’s no Miracle Wall to block the mist. Do the people of the Upper Evil Society all live in the mist wearing gas masks?”
“Probably not.” Lin Qiye shook his head,
“Haven’t you noticed? The members of the Upper Evil Society basically all wear a kind of silver ring that looks similar in material to our badges. It should be able to resist the erosion of the mist.”
“That’s called [Chen Extreme Steel].” Ji Nian’s voice came from behind.
Ji Nian was seen wearing a black tattered cloak, slowly approaching. She raised her right hand from her pocket, revealing a silver ring,
“This is made from special materials mined from the deep sea. It has the effect of dispersing mist for a short time. The badge necklaces you wear around your necks are also made of this metal, though of higher purity.
Moreover, this material is extremely rare. Our Upper Evil Society has been mining for years and has only made sixty or seventy Chen Extreme rings, which are basically all worn by our teams that operate outside.”
“Doesn’t your [Utopia] have tens of thousands of people? What about the others?”
Ji Nian’s lips curled into a smile, mysteriously.
“You’ll know soon.”
A moment later, a pale green light lit up from the top of the pixel cruise ship, like some kind of signal light, flashing continuously in the mist.
Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang, as well as Cao Yuan and others who had just arrived on deck, all turned their heads toward the top of the cruise ship in confusion.
At the same time, a voice sounded from all parts of the ship:
“Attention everyone, the ship has entered sea area A. All personnel prepare for return.”
The members of the Upper Evil Society who were busy in various parts of the cruise ship quickly put down their work and returned to the cabins. Lin Qiye and his group also returned to the second floor of the cabin, observing the outside situation through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ji Nian stood alone on the swaying deck. As the pale green light disappeared, she raised both hands and gently pressed down on the deck.
The next moment, dense pixel particles surged from the bottom of the cruise ship, rising rapidly from all directions of the ship like arc-shaped barriers.
In just a few seconds, a large number of pixel particles had enveloped the entire cruise ship, like a hollow giant ball floating on the sea.
As whirlpools appeared on the sea surface, the giant sphere gradually sank, disappearing into the mist-rolling sea.
