Chapter 287: The Mysterious Blaki

“What’s his problem?” Lin Qiye asked.

“He, he…” Li Yifei stammered for a long time, then waved his hand, “Forget it, just come with me to see for yourself.”

Lin Qiye followed Li Yifei through the hospital and into an empty courtyard. It was now evening, and under the pitch-black sky, the entire mental hospital was shrouded in darkness, with only a few rooms still lit.

The two of them walked behind a large tree in the courtyard. Li Yifei pointed to a few nearby patient rooms and whispered, “Look over there.”

Lin Qiye raised his eyes and saw that in the dimly lit two-story building, the first two rooms were completely dark, while a faint light was visible through the crack of the door of the third room.

“That’s Bragi’s room,” Lin Qiye said.

“Yes,” Li Yifei nodded. “At this hour, Grandma Nix is usually asleep, and Uncle Merlin has been focusing on his health lately, going to bed even earlier. So when I got up to use the bathroom just now and saw light coming from there, I was a bit curious and went to take a look…”

“What did you see?”

Li Yifei pointed to the branches above them. “You’ll know if you go up and take a look.”

Lin Qiye rolled his eyes at Li Yifei, then nimbly leaped onto a branch. From their vantage point on the first floor, they could only see that the light was on in the patient room but not the specifics inside. As Lin Qiye climbed higher, the scene inside the room came into full view.

In the dimly lit Room 3, the electric light was off, and only a white candle on the table emitted a faint glow. A man draped in white satin sat in front of the table, seemingly looking into a mirror.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly.

Bragi was awake in the middle of the night, looking into a mirror? Although with his looks, it wouldn’t be too strange for him to admire himself at night, Lin Qiye felt that something was off…

After staring for a moment, a glimmer of realization appeared in Lin Qiye’s eyes.

His posture!

Bragi’s sitting posture was too strange; his legs were slightly together, leaning to one side of the chair, the smooth satin half-concealing his legs. He sat there quietly, not like a man, but more like a graceful lady.

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but recall how Bragi had behaved during the day. Although he was somewhat delicate in appearance, his demeanor was definitely not effeminate; he wouldn’t sit like that.

Could he have some hidden preference?

Just as Lin Qiye was pondering this, Bragi moved again.

Sitting elegantly in the chair, he extended his pale, slender hands to open a small box beside the table. Inside the box seemed to be some red unknown liquid. He dipped his fingertips into the box and then lightly brushed them against his lips…

His lips were as bright as fire.

The dim candlelight flickered in the ancient bronze mirror, illuminating Bragi’s stunningly enchanting face. He gently pressed his lips together, the vibrant lip color forming a slight curve, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Lin Qiye felt a chill run down his spine!

That wasn’t Bragi; that was definitely not Bragi! A man could not possibly make such a delicate and alluring expression! At least, Bragi wouldn’t!

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. If nothing unexpected happened, Bragi’s condition was likely related to his current behavior.

Could he be possessed by something unclean?

Lin Qiye had heard such rural ghost stories in his early years, where people possessed by spirits would do unimaginable things, collectively referred to as being “haunted.”

But Bragi wasn’t an ordinary person; although his presence in mythology wasn’t strong and his combat power wasn’t high, he was still a deity, the offspring of the god king Odin. What could possibly possess him?

If it wasn’t possession, then how could he explain the scene before him?

Sleepwalking?

Lin Qiye hesitated, wondering if he should directly approach Bragi and ask him what was going on… But if he was indeed sleepwalking, waking him abruptly might have the opposite effect.

While Lin Qiye was deep in thought, Bragi slowly stood up from the mirror, glanced at the outside sky, and a hint of disappointment crossed his eyes. He gently wiped his face, and all the makeup vanished, returning to his original appearance.

He shed the white satin and changed back into his usual clothes, quietly lying down on the bed and slowly closing his eyes…

As if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Qiye jumped down from the branch, landing silently on the grass. Li Yifei leaned closer and whispered, “Did you see that?”

“I saw.”

“Is he a pervert?”

“…Probably not.” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment. “I’m not sure about the specifics. I’ll subtly ask him tomorrow morning and see how he reacts.”

“Remember, don’t be too direct, or you might hurt his pride.”

Li Yifei nodded. “Got it!”

…

The next day.

“Bragi, do you know about what happened last night when you dressed as a woman?”

Bragi had just sleepily walked to the dining table when Li Yifei eagerly approached him and asked.

“Pfft!”

Merlin, sitting nearby, nearly spat out the goji berry tea he was drinking. He struggled to swallow it down, pretending to cough a few times, his gaze occasionally darting toward Bragi, astonishment evident in his eyes!

Nix, sitting opposite, also looked up, elegantly holding his coffee, watching Bragi with a half-smile.

“Dressed as a woman?” Bragi was taken aback, asking in confusion, “What woman’s clothing?”

“You know, wearing white stockings, braiding your hair, putting on lipstick!” Li Yifei asked, puzzled. “You really don’t remember?”

Merlin’s astonishment deepened!

Bragi shook his head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I slept very well last night. I’m a man; why would I braid my hair or put on lipstick?”

“By the way, what are these white stockings you mentioned?”

Li Yifei scratched his head, carefully observing Bragi’s expression, which didn’t seem like he was lying. Just then, Lin Qiye walked in wearing a white lab coat.

“Qiye, Bragi doesn’t remember dressing as a woman.”

Lin Qiye: …

Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly. He shot a fierce glare at Li Yifei, cleared his throat a couple of times, and turned to Bragi.

“Do you really not remember anything from last night?”

Bragi shook his head in confusion. “What happened last night?”

“N-nothing…” Lin Qiye shook his head, catching a glimpse of Li Yifei, who was eagerly about to say something, and quickly covered his mouth.

“Woo woo woo…”

“You guys eat first; I’ll take Li Yifei out for a walk.” Lin Qiye said with a smile, then dragged Li Yifei out of the activity room.
