Chapter 1605 Sounds from the Hospital
In the darkness, Li Yifei’s eyes suddenly opened!
He lay on the floor of the dungeon, his chest heaving violently. He struggled to sit up, and after confirming that he was alive again, he let out a long sigh…
Being alive meant that the Chaos god outside hadn’t completely taken control of this hospital yet.
“Was it a dream? Or…” Li Yifei recalled the young man he met when he was near death, confusion appearing in his eyes.
Just then, his hand supporting him on the ground seemed to touch something hard. Lifting his palm, he saw a white chess piece lying quietly on the ground.
Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed slightly. He picked up the chess piece and examined it carefully in his palm… This piece didn’t look any different from ordinary Go stones. If anything, perhaps it felt more smooth to the touch, without any coldness despite being in this damp dungeon.
The chess piece was real, which meant… that wasn’t a dream?
But why would he randomly dream about someone from ancient times?
What was the “Sacred Covenant”? He didn’t remember making any promises to anyone, so where did this mission come from?
As Li Yifei pondered these questions, the chess piece in his palm suddenly cracked open, and a drop of fresh blood flowed out from within, merging with the blood on his hand before dripping onto the prison floor.
A whispered voice passed by Li Yifei’s ear.
Who?!
Li Yifei turned his head sharply. There was no sound coming from the cells on either side, but that voice still echoed in his ears.
Li Yifei seemed to realize something and looked down at the floor beneath his feet…
“It’s you…” he murmured.
Li Yifei had long known that this hospital had its own consciousness. Both Nyx and Merlin had communicated with the hospital’s consciousness before their discharge. But perhaps because his soul was too weak, or perhaps because he lacked something, he had never communicated with it despite managing the hospital for so long.
Now, he could actually hear the hospital’s voice?
Whispers entered Li Yifei’s ears one after another. He tried hard to understand the meaning behind those sounds. After some time, shock gradually appeared in his eyes.
His lips moved, but no sound came out:
—You’re saying that Qiye is actually…
The shock in Li Yifei’s eyes gradually faded. He continued to say something silently, as if conversing with the hospital, then nodded firmly.
He placed his palm on the dungeon floor, and patterns like blood vessels extended from beneath the dungeon, entering Li Yifei’s body. He let out a muffled groan, and a strange light flowed in his eyes.
At this moment, countless thoughts surged in his mind, and his previous conversations with Merlin echoed in his head again.
“You foresaw this… Lord Merlin?” Li Yifei murmured.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the broken white chess piece in his palm.
“Sacred Covenant…”
…
Ten days later.
Daxia, Changxi City.
Boom—!!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded from the middle of a skyscraper. A huge shadow over a hundred meters long crashed from the sky, landing heavily on the deserted street. Thick smoke immediately engulfed the ground.
A figure wearing a deep red cloak instantly sprang from the building, turning into a red light streaking through the void, and smashed a fist into the giant shadow’s surface!
A muffled explosion sounded again, the ground around suddenly collapsed, and invisible shockwaves swept for kilometers, blowing several figures in dark red cloaks off their feet in the distance.
“Damn, is this really the power a human can unleash?”
“Why does this ‘Klein’ ‘Mystery’ seem so weak… Captain, you didn’t report the wrong level, did you?”
“Bullshit, I can’t tell the difference between ‘Infinite’ and ‘Klein’?! That thing is definitely a ‘Klein,’ otherwise we wouldn’t have had to request backup from headquarters…”
“That must be a high-ranking Night Watcher, right? I thought they would send a special team.”
“I heard it’s because the [Phoenix] team’s schedule was too full, so Director Lin personally came to help… By the way, do you know about the [Nightfall] team? This person used to be the captain of [Nightfall]!”
“No wonder he’s ridiculously strong…”
Shen Qingzhu stood beside these Night Watchers, unhurriedly lighting a cigarette in the fierce wind, watching the figure that was bare-handedly pummeling the “Klein” in the distance, without saying a word.
After two more booms from the distance, he gently exhaled a puff of white smoke and turned to walk downstairs:
“It’s over. Let the logistics department handle the cleanup.”
“It’s… over?”
The Night Watchers stationed in Changxi City all showed expressions of astonishment. They looked back at the battlefield, which had indeed fallen into silence.
In just a few seconds, he had beaten a “Klein” to death with his bare hands?!
Everyone rushed toward the battlefield. Lin Qiye had already walked out from the smoke, clean and tidy from head to toe, without any trace of having been in a major battle.
“Director Lin, is it resolved?” asked Zhao Boping, the captain of the Changxi station.
“Yes.” Lin Qiye nodded slightly. “Let the logistics department handle the cleanup. This ‘Mystery’ descended in the urban area, so remember to repair the buildings properly.”
“Yes!” Zhao Boping paused. “Director Lin, would you like to rest at our station? It’s getting late.”
“No need. I still have to get back to handle official business. Carry on with your work.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand and walked straight toward the military airport. Shen Qingzhu extinguished his cigarette and followed closely behind.
“Is the other one taken care of?” Lin Qiye asked.
“I sent Wu Quan to handle it. It’s also finished. He’s meeting us at the plane now.”
“Sigh…” Once they were far enough away, Lin Qiye stretched his arms, showing a tired expression. “This job isn’t easy… It’s like doing the work of a special team plus a bunch of desk work.”
“Isn’t it satisfying to beat a ‘Klein’ with your bare hands?”
“It is quite satisfying… I’ve basically mastered the power of this body now, but not being able to use Forbidden Domains still feels a bit strange.” Lin Qiye sighed.
Shen Qingzhu nodded slightly. “Get some rest on the plane. I can help you with some of the paperwork.”
Lin Qiye smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly looked up.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Qingzhu asked.
“Bro, did you just see something float over my head?”
“No.”
“Strange, was I seeing things?”
Lin Qiye stared carefully at the void above for a moment. Seeing nothing else there, he continued walking forward with Shen Qingzhu.
“By the way, Mr. Lu just called.”
“Oh?” Lin Qiye paused. “Did he find Chloe?”
“Yes, but her situation is somewhat complicated…”
