Chapter 280: The Third Ward
Lin Qiye?
Hearing these three words, the expressions of the high-ranking officials grew serious.
He is the agent of the Archangel Michael and the Goddess of Night Nyx, possessing the Sequence 003 ability of the “Mortal Realm.” Just based on his talent and potential, he absolutely qualifies to be the captain of a special team.
Not only that, but he also has a high IQ and top-notch strategic abilities. During the training camp, he graduated with the highest score, breaking historical records in theoretical courses such as tactics and simulation exercises…
Ye Fan analyzed Lin Qiye’s advantages from various angles, with some nodding in agreement, while others furrowed their brows even tighter.
From a potential standpoint, he indeed has the qualifications, but… his experience is still too shallow. An elder shook his head repeatedly, stating that he is just a newcomer who graduated from the training camp less than two years ago, and his actual time working as a Night Watchman is not even half a year, making his case-handling experience insufficient.
That’s right, and his level is too low. Another high-ranking official nodded in agreement, pointing out that when the “Phoenix” and “Mask” teams were just established, Xia Simeng and Wang Mian were already at the peak of the Sea Realm. His level is too low; no matter how great his potential, it cannot compensate for the deficiency in combat power.
Moreover, didn’t he develop a mental illness a year ago?
Ye Fan nodded, having just received news that he has awakened. From his behavior and demeanor, it seems there are no major issues.
No major issues? That seems rather careless. The captain’s position is too important; if Lin Qiye has any mental health risks and makes a wrong decision at a critical moment, the entire special team could be wiped out…
But aside from Lin Qiye, do you have a better candidate?
I think…
The entire conference room erupted into chatter again. By the time Ye Fan dragged his weary body out of the conference room, two hours had already passed.
He walked up to the rooftop terrace, sat down, and gazed at the white clouds drifting lazily across the sky, letting out a long sigh.
I knew you would be here. Deputy Commander Zuo Qing pushed open the terrace door, raised an eyebrow, and smiled as he sat down beside him. Still thinking about Lin Qiye?
Mm.
You think so highly of him?
If it were any other special team selecting a captain, I might not be so resolute, but for the captain of the fifth special team… it has to be him, Ye Fan said calmly.
That’s true; after all, the functions of this team are too unique… Zuo Qing nodded, but others disagreed. What can you do about it?
Ultimately, the concerns others have about Lin Qiye focus on his qualifications, level, and whether his mental state is stable. These issues are not difficult to resolve…
Zuo Qing asked in surprise, so you already have an idea?
That’s right, but this idea might be a bit risky. Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed as he looked toward the horizon, whether it can be realized depends on Lin Qiye himself…
…
In the asylum.
Lin Qiye lay on the bed, casually changing the TV channels, feeling a bit frustrated.
His silver metal room had been completely renovated; the walls were covered with warm-colored wallpaper, a television hung on the opposite wall, and an air conditioner was installed. The bed, though a bit hard, was still acceptable.
Overall, it had begun to feel a bit like home.
But a hospital room is still a hospital room, and lying in it made Lin Qiye feel uncomfortable all over.
Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind.
The Gods’ Mental Hospital.
Lin Qiye, wearing a white coat, walked into the hospital. Li Yifei, who was coming toward him, paused for a moment before quickly approaching and asking:
Qiye, are you okay now?
Don’t worry, I’m fine. Lin Qiye patted Li Yifei’s shoulder. Has anything happened in the hospital this year?
Uh… Li Yifei scratched his head. Aside from Nyx and Merlin often fighting because of you, nothing else has happened.
Fighting? Lin Qiye was taken aback. Why?
Merlin wanted to wake you up, but Nyx wanted you to rest a bit longer, and then they started fighting… Yesterday, it was also because of their fight that you had a reaction, but before you could open your eyes, you disappeared. Li Yifei explained honestly.
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully. It seems that the pitch-black and deep blue sky he saw in the fantasy world was indeed caused by the clash between Merlin and Nyx.
I understand now. You’ve worked hard this year. Lin Qiye patted Li Yifei’s shoulder and walked toward the courtyard.
In the courtyard, a noblewoman dressed in a starry gown was sitting there, staring blankly at the spot where Lin Qiye had previously vanished.
Mother. Lin Qiye walked up to her and spoke softly.
Nyx looked up, and upon seeing Lin Qiye, she was momentarily stunned before a smile appeared in her eyes, gently embracing Lin Qiye.
Danasdus, I knew you would be fine…
Lin Qiye responded with a hum, saying, Mother, thank you for being by my side this past year.
It’s what I should do, my child. Nyx released Lin Qiye, gazing into his eyes, filled with longing.
At that moment, Merlin also slowly approached from a distance, apologetically saying:
Your Excellency, the Director, Your Excellency, Nyx, please forgive my previous offense…
Lin Qiye turned to look at Merlin and smiled, saying, There’s nothing to forgive. If it weren’t for you, I would probably still be trapped in the fantasy world…
Merlin walked up to Lin Qiye, carefully studying his face for a moment before smiling and saying: Indeed, your tribulations are over. The trajectory of your fate seems quite stable now; you can rest assured.
Nyx hesitated for a moment before asking: When Merlin returned before, he mentioned what happened at that time. Now that your divine realm has disappeared… what are your plans next?
Lin Qiye remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: I have two enemies to kill.
Merlin and Nyx exchanged glances. Do you need our help?
I am still too weak right now. If I want revenge, it will have to wait a long time. Lin Qiye said calmly, looking up at the floor where the hospital room was located, his eyes narrowing slightly.
What I should do now is to welcome the… next guest of this mental hospital.
Merlin and Nyx followed Lin Qiye up the stairs to the corridor where the six hospital rooms were located. Two of the room doors were already open, and Lin Qiye walked straight to the third room and stopped.
He looked up at the sign above the room, which depicted a harp.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the door to the third room…
