Chapter 465: Deteriorating Braki
After a day of training, Lin Qiye lay on his bed, slowly closing his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the mental hospital of the gods.
Since leaving the fasting center, he had either been on a mission or on his way to one, leaving him little time to rest, and even less time to enter the mental hospital of the gods. Fortunately, he had Li Yifei, the head nurse, who regularly reported on the hospital’s situation, so nothing particularly noteworthy had happened.
Lin Qiye donned a white coat and put on black-framed glasses, walking into the hospital like a real doctor.
“Hello, Director.”
A Zhu, holding a bundle of clothes and preparing to head to the laundry room, saw Lin Qiye approaching and greeted him obediently.
“Mm.” Lin Qiye nodded and walked down the long corridor toward the spacious courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, Nyx was sitting in a rocking chair, basking in the sun, a ball of black yarn on her lap, her hands deftly working with the threads, as if she were knitting something.
From the general shape, it looked like a sweater.
Seeing the sweater, Lin Qiye’s expression turned puzzled. If he remembered correctly, Nyx had been knitting that same ball of yarn for about a year now. How could it still be unfinished?
Nyx noticed Lin Qiye and smiled warmly, “You’ve come back to see me, Danatus?”
“Yes, Mother.” Lin Qiye walked over to Nyx’s side, smiling as he asked, “How have you been lately?”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the treatment progress bar above Nyx’s head. Since Nyx had entered the mental hospital for treatment, over two years had passed, and her treatment progress had reached 89%, making her the most improved patient among the three.
Behaviorally, Nyx was no different from a normal person. Lin Qiye hadn’t seen her dazed, mumbling to herself, or mistaking other things for her children in a long time…
Most of her time was spent basking in the sun and knitting in the courtyard. Sometimes, when she felt like it, she would go to the activity room to engage in entertainment with others, often wearing a smile.
The once erratic Nyx had completely become a thing of the past.
“Not bad,” Nyx said with a smile. “Our new neighbor, Mr. Bragi, is quite interesting. Although he sings a bit off-key, he has a lot of energy, reminding me of my younger days… Mr. Merlin is still so quiet, reading his books every day, and when he has time, he discusses health insights with me. But lately, he seems to be worried about his hairline…
The children taking care of me are also very enthusiastic, often making me happy.”
After saying this, Nyx unexpectedly pulled out a frisbee from somewhere and tossed it into the distance. The frisbee wobbled in the air before landing at the edge of the courtyard.
In the next moment, a yellow pug dashed out, leaping at the edge of the courtyard, its mouth opening wide to catch the frisbee mid-air, then trotting back to Nyx, obediently placing the frisbee on the ground.
On its tongue lay a small golden bug, resting quietly.
Lin Qiye looked in astonishment at the pug, which had completely adapted to its new body, unable to connect it with the “Sea” from Gusu City that had stirred up a storm. The latter turned its head away, rolling its eyes silently, and ran off toward the nearby corridor without looking back.
It ran up to A Zhu, nudging his pant leg with its head.
A Zhu, standing in the corridor, bent down to pat the pug’s head. “You’re very good today, Beile Ye! As a reward, you can use tools to clean the toilet today.”
Upon hearing this, the pug finally sighed in relief.
In front of Lin Qiye’s dumbfounded expression, its front legs suddenly lifted, standing up like a person, with its left paw gripping a broom, its right paw holding a dustpan, and a cloth in its mouth, waddling toward the toilet.
Lin Qiye: …
“By the way, Danatus,” Nyx seemed to remember something, “you should check on Mr. Bragi. His condition seems to have worsened recently.”
Lin Qiye was taken aback.
Bragi’s condition had worsened?
Could it be that his illness had deteriorated?
He nodded, said goodbye to Nyx, and quickly walked back inside the building.
After circling the entire building, Lin Qiye finally found Bragi on the rooftop.
He was sitting alone at the edge of the building, his beloved harp placed beside him, staring blankly at the sky above, lost in thought.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over Bragi’s head, and his expression immediately turned serious.
During this time, he had been instructing Li Yifei to administer medication to Bragi according to the notes he had copied from Dr. Li. He remembered that the last time he saw Bragi, his treatment progress had reached 32%…
But now, the progress bar above his head had stagnated at 16%.
His treatment progress had actually regressed.
What could be the reason? Was it the wrong medication?
That couldn’t be; if the medication were wrong, the treatment progress would have decreased from the start. How could it have improved to 32% only to deteriorate afterward?
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment before stepping closer to Bragi. “Bragi.”
“Mm? Oh… it’s the director?” Bragi took a moment to snap back to reality, looking at Lin Qiye with a somewhat dazed expression.
“I see you don’t look well. Have you encountered any problems recently?” Lin Qiye asked with concern.
“No, not really…” Bragi instinctively shook his head, but after hesitating for a moment, he looked up at Lin Qiye and said earnestly, “Director, I have a request…”
“Go ahead.”
“I want to leave the hospital for a while.”
Lin Qiye was taken aback. “Leave here? Are you dissatisfied with this place?”
“No, I really like it here. The people are all very friendly, but…” Bragi fell silent, the light in his eyes gradually dimming. “I miss her.”
Upon hearing this response, Lin Qiye quickly realized, “You miss your wife?”
“Yes.” Bragi nodded slightly. “Unlike the scheming Asgard, life here feels very comfortable. If I could, I would even want to stay here long-term… but my wife, Eden, has not been found. I don’t know where she is, what she’s doing, or if she’s doing well. I… I dream about her every night.
In my dreams, her situation is always dire. In some dreams, she is imprisoned by Loki and other evil gods, never seeing the light of day; in others, she is forced onto the battlefield, fighting against other ruthless deities; I even dreamt that she had died in some unknown place…”
Bragi’s face grew increasingly pale, his hands trembling slightly.
“Eden is my wife; she will always be the woman I love the most. Without her by my side, I cannot enjoy life here at all.
I must find her…”
