Chapter 275: Hospital Room
Hello, I am Dr. Li from Sunshine Mental Hospital.
In an old bedroom, a man wearing large black-framed glasses sat there, holding a medical case, looking quite refined.
Wasn’t it Dr. Han who came before?
A black-haired teenager across from him spoke with some confusion.
Dr. Han was promoted to deputy director last year. Dr. Li smiled.
Oh.
The teenager nodded, suddenly pausing as if he found the scene in front of him somewhat familiar.
Have I seen you somewhere before? he asked uncertainly.
Impossible. Dr. Li calmly shook his head. I’m a new doctor who just arrived; we’ve never met.
Alright…
Since I just got here as well and don’t know much about your situation, let me understand it briefly… Dr. Li opened the medical case in his hand.
Your name is… Lin Qiye?
Yes.
Nineteen years old this year.
No, I’m seventeen this year. The black-haired teenager shook his head.
Dr. Li glanced at him and continued: I see, there might be an error in the medical records… Now, tell me about the time you were sent to our mental hospital ten years ago…
…
After asking a few questions, Dr. Li nodded. What you mentioned are all past events. What about now? How do you view this matter? Specifically, seeing angels.
It’s all just delusions. Lin Qiye replied calmly. That day, I accidentally rolled off the eaves and hit my head on the ground. As for my eyes, perhaps a nerve was damaged, which caused my blindness.
Dr. Li hummed in acknowledgment, hesitating for a moment before slowly speaking:
So… do you remember the Night Watchman?
Night Watchman? Lin Qiye was taken aback, confusion appearing in his eyes.
[World of Mortals], [Shiva’s Grievance], Loki, Phoenix Squad, Master Chen… Dr. Li listed a series of names, his gaze fixed on Lin Qiye’s eyes, as if trying to discern something from them.
Lin Qiye furrowed his brows. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Dr. Li fell silent. After a while, he spoke again. What about Chen Muye and Zhao Kongcheng? Do you remember them? And Team 136?
Hearing these names, Lin Qiye’s body suddenly trembled, and a hint of confusion surged in his calm eyes.
He stared blankly ahead, a look of pain crossing his features.
Boom—!!
Outside the window, a loud noise suddenly erupted in the clear sky, a thunderclap shattering the tranquility, and the sky began to darken at a visible speed.
A fierce wind rushed in through the small window, causing the medical case in Dr. Li’s hand to rustle.
Lin Qiye looked at the white wall in front of him, his brows tightly knitted, his hands cradling his head, pain evident in his eyes.
I… I don’t know…
Dr. Li’s eyes behind his glasses narrowed slightly. He stood up, walked to Lin Qiye’s side, and gently patted his back, his voice carrying a certain magnetism:
I was just saying that casually; you don’t need to pay attention to it. Just forget what I said a moment ago…
As soon as these words were spoken, the pain on Lin Qiye’s face suddenly vanished, and confusion returned to his eyes. He stared blankly ahead, his mind a complete blank.
The sky outside gradually brightened, and the wind that had entered the room began to die down.
Dr. Li stood up and gently said to Lin Qiye: Alright, let’s stop the check-up here. Your condition is no longer a problem. I hope you can adjust your mindset and live well.
Dr. Li shook hands with the bewildered Lin Qiye, encouraging him, and Lin Qiye finally came to his senses and nodded.
Dr. Li opened the door and stepped out. Outside, Auntie’s voice rang out again.
Hey, Dr. Li, stay for a meal.
No, no, I have another patient to see, so I won’t disturb you.
Dr. Li politely declined Auntie’s invitation, smiling as he opened the door and walked straight out.
The moment the door closed, Lin Qiye’s smile vanished, as if it had never existed.
Delusions… he murmured to himself.
…
Dr. Li closed the heavy steel door behind him, the smile on his face disappearing, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
He turned to glance back at the place he had just left, shaking his head helplessly.
It was a metal cube occupying more than ten square meters, entirely made of an unknown silver-white metal, resembling a prison cell. The walls were nearly a meter thick, and the only entrance was a heavy steel door equipped with six distinctly different password verification systems.
Outside the metal cube was a vast black room, with twelve cameras installed around it, monitoring the situation of the metal cube without any blind spots.
Dr. Li scanned his fingerprint by the door, entered a password, and then pushed the door open.
Behind the door was a medical research institute.
Countless researchers in white coats moved about, exchanging data in their hands. In the center of the institute was a large screen, constantly displaying the scene inside the metal cube.
There, a teenager sat in a chair, two black restraining straps securing his body. He stared blankly ahead, connected to various medical instruments, golden light flickering around him.
In front of the monitoring screen, a middle-aged man draped in a dark red cloak stood there. Upon seeing Dr. Li emerge, he turned to look.
Commander Ye. Dr. Li was surprised to see him. You came in person?
Ye Fan nodded. How is his condition?
Still the same. Dr. Li shook his head helplessly. It has been a year since the Cangnan incident, and we have used almost all modern medical treatments, yet we cannot awaken him from that world.
[World of Mortals] envelops the world he constructed himself; unless he awakens from within, nothing from the outside can affect him.
Ye Fan looked up at the teenager on the screen and sighed: It has been a year…
This year, this kid has certainly given us a lot of trouble. Dr. Li said with a bitter smile.
Have you used your Forbidden Ruins to try to awaken him directly?
We tried, but aside from causing [World of Mortals] to go berserk, it had no effect, as if… his consciousness is not even within his own body.
Not in his body? Ye Fan asked in confusion. If his consciousness isn’t in his body, where could it be?
I don’t know; that’s the problem. Dr. Li said helplessly. If his consciousness were in his body, awakening him wouldn’t be difficult, but… his mental world is different from that of ordinary people.
In his mental world, there is only endless fog.
