Chapter 1591 You Have a Fate with the Hospital
“Name?”
“……”
“Name?”
“His name is Lin Qiye.”
“I know his name is Lin Qiye!”
In the empty consultation room, Dr. Li glared at Wuquan beside him, “I’m checking if his consciousness is clear. This is already his second time as a patient in our hospital. His name is Lin Qiye, did I need you to remind me?”
Wuquan snorted coldly, turning his head away with a somewhat resentful look.
Dr. Li looked back at the motionless Lin Qiye sitting across from him, and after hesitating for a moment, spoke again: “Since you don’t want to answer… let’s skip those initial parts. Lin Qiye, during the time your soul left your body and you were unconscious, what did you see?”
Lin Qiye kept his head down, still silent, his eyes somewhat empty.
Seeing this, Dr. Li shook his head helplessly and stood up from his seat,
“Wuquan, help him up and follow me to the Mental Radiology Department. He needs a systematic examination.”
“Why should I listen to you?”
“You volunteered to be my assistant, so of course these tasks are yours. If you’ve changed your mind, you can go back to solitary confinement in your cell.”
Wuquan sighed deeply and obediently stood up, about to reach out to support Lin Qiye.
But before his hand could touch Lin Qiye’s body, the latter stood up on his own and followed behind Dr. Li, silently walking toward the Mental Radiology Department.
Wuquan stood frozen in place.
“Dr. Li…”
As Wuquan was about to say something, Dr. Li turned back to see this scene, his eyes narrowing slightly, and shook his head at Wuquan, signaling him not to make a sound.
Then, Dr. Li led the puppet-like walking Lin Qiye into the Mental Radiology Department.
……
One hour later.
“Dr. Li, how is his condition?” Seeing Dr. Li pushing a wheelchair out of the hospital ward, Zuo Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and asked worriedly.
Dr. Li sighed, “It’s about as expected. His soul, during its most vulnerable period outside his body, suffered a strong impact from the ‘heart barrier,’ causing his consciousness to enter a fuzzy state… He seems able to hear us talking and can understand part of what we say, but his subjective initiative is extremely low.
When ordinary people experience intense emotional shocks, such as the death of a loved one or career setbacks, they easily enter a state of mental confusion, feeling dazed. His condition is similar to this, except that his originally disembodied soul has magnified this pain a hundredfold.”
“Is there any way to treat it?”
“If it were purely a mental illness, I would have a way, but the ‘heart barrier’ cannot be influenced by external forces… Whether he can take that step depends only on himself.”
Receiving this answer, Zuo Qing looked somewhat disappointed, but he was mentally prepared. After all, even the Heavenly Lord was helpless about Lin Qiye’s condition. Ultimately, this was Lin Qiye’s own “heart barrier,” and no one else could intervene.
“Then let him rest here during this time,” Zuo Qing could only accept reality. “If his condition improves, contact me immediately.”
“Alright.”
Dr. Li and Wuquan stood in front of the hospital, watching as Zuo Qing’s plane hummed away from the Fasting Place, disappearing into the horizon.
Dr. Li looked down at the silent Lin Qiye in the wheelchair and smiled helplessly,
“Not many people come to be my patients twice in a row… Perhaps you were born with a connection to mental hospitals?”
“That doesn’t sound like a compliment,” Wuquan commented quietly.
“…”
Dr. Li glanced at Wuquan and slowly said, “Well, you haven’t done much since becoming a medical assistant… During this period, you’ll be responsible for taking care of him.
Besides preparing his three daily meals and attending to his morning and evening routines, spend five hours each day walking with him and talking to him. These external positive interactions might help him emerge from the shadow of the ‘heart barrier’ more quickly.”
“Me? Take care of him?” Wuquan frowned, looking at Lin Qiye.
“If you don’t want to do it, that’s fine. There are plenty of others in the Fasting Place who could be assigned as medical assistants…”
Hearing this, Wuquan struggled for a moment before gritting his teeth and nodding:
“Fine, I’ll do it!”
“If you’re going to do it, do it well. If I find out you’re not taking proper care of him, you won’t be coming to the hospital again, understand?” Dr. Li patted Wuquan’s shoulder and turned to walk back into the hospital.
In the empty space in front of the hospital, only Lin Qiye and Wuquan remained. The latter took a deep breath and gripped the handles of the wheelchair, pushing Lin Qiye slowly away.
……
“Hey, can you really not hear me talking?”
Bright sunlight fell on the verdant lawn, dew glistening with a hint of crystal clarity. Wuquan pushed Lin Qiye in the wheelchair, slowly moving forward.
Lin Qiye kept his head down, seemingly oblivious to Wuquan’s question.
Seeing Lin Qiye’s reaction, Wuquan’s expression relaxed somewhat. No matter what, taking care of a Lin Qiye without self-awareness was much better than facing a conscious Lin Qiye… He would never forget the scene of Lin Qiye personally grabbing him and sending him to the Fasting Place.
“I heard about your situation from the conversation between Commander Zuo and Dr. Li,” Wuquan muttered as he walked. “People are always fragile… In just one day, you witnessed the deaths of two team members. I can understand your feelings.
When that fire killed Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng years ago, I was just like you are now. I didn’t want to accept reality either, my mind went blank… But I still forced myself to wake up quickly. Do you know why?”
Wuquan knew Lin Qiye wouldn’t answer, so he continued on his own:
“Because even though they died, others were still alive… Brother Qingzhu was my reason to carry on. For him, I had to face everything, so I forced myself to use [Emperor’s Dominion] to control their corpses… This was the redemption for both him and me.
Perhaps you also need a motivation to help you move forward… a redemption.”
As Wuquan’s words fell, the wheelchair he was pushing suddenly stopped.
He looked down in confusion and saw that Lin Qiye, who had been in a daze all along, had suddenly reached out to grip the wheel, forcing them to stop.
Dressed in his newly changed blue and white hospital gown, Lin Qiye stared fixedly into the distance, sitting motionless in the wheelchair like a sculpture.
Wuquan followed his gaze, confusion appearing in his eyes.
“It’s just a wall, what’s so interesting about it?”
On top of the cliff, a tall black iron wall stood majestically. Half a sun floated above the vast sea surface, golden droplets of water splashed and shattered at the edge of the cliff. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was sunset or sunrise.
Focused on observing the wall, Wuquan naturally didn’t notice that in Lin Qiye’s cloudy eyes, four young figures were leaping from the top of that wall, laughing as they jumped into the wind…
The dusky sunset sank into the sea, and the sky gradually darkened. This was ultimately the sunset before nightfall, not the rising morning sun.
Wuquan turned his head, about to say something more, when he suddenly froze in place.
In the fading remnants of sunset, Lin Qiye’s face was streaming with tears.
