Chapter 481: Sun Wukong
Outside the door, Lin Qiye was stunned by the sight before him!
“Room 4.
Patient: Sun Wukong.
Task: Assist Sun Wukong in treating his mental illness. When the treatment progress reaches specified values (1%, 50%, 100%), a portion of Sun Wukong’s abilities can be randomly extracted.
Current treatment progress:”
Could it really be the Great Sage?
To be honest, when Lin Qiye first saw the design of this ward, he vaguely guessed the identity of the patient inside. However, seeing this character, who only existed in legends and stories, with his own eyes today was an overwhelming shock.
This is the legendary Monkey King…
However, the image of Sun Wukong before him seemed somewhat different from the descriptions in the books?
The golden circlet on his head was gone, replaced instead by a kasaya, exuding a dignified aura, with a radiant Buddhist light… This was no longer the Great Sage; this was the victorious Buddha after completing the journey to the West.
Considering the time, it indeed made sense. Most of the novels and TV shows recorded stories of the journey to the West, which took place during the Tang Dynasty. Sun Wukong had already become the victorious Buddha over a thousand years ago, so naturally, he wouldn’t resemble the image of the Monkey King described in the books.
“Is it just a monkey?” Bragi, who was enthusiastically preparing to play a cheerful tune, was taken aback upon seeing Sun Wukong. He then smiled and continued, “No worries, music and poetry know no race!”
He opened his mouth, about to sing something, when Merlin swiftly cast a silence spell over him.
Nyx examined the motionless Sun Wukong, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes. “It seems our new neighbor… isn’t very welcoming?”
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, stepped into the room, and squatted down in front of the ancient ape, softly speaking, “Great Sage, Great Sage? Sun Wukong? Victorious Buddha?”
Lin Qiye called out to him several times, but there was no response, as if he were truly just a statue.
Lin Qiye turned to Merlin, “Sir Merlin…”
Merlin nodded, a deep blue light glimmering in his eyes as he gazed at the kasaya-clad Sun Wukong for a moment, his brow slightly furrowing.
“I can’t see through his fate, but I can confirm… he is awake.”
Lin Qiye was taken aback, looking back at the ancient ape with drooping eyelids. “He is awake? Then why isn’t he responding?”
Merlin pondered for a moment. “Perhaps he simply doesn’t want to acknowledge us.”
“…”
“Great Sage, I am the director of this mental hospital, Lin Qiye.” Lin Qiye took a deep breath and said earnestly to the ancient ape, “If you are awake, please say something… If that’s too much, just blink your eyes, at least let me know what illness you have…”
After his words fell, the ancient ape remained completely still.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something else, the ancient ape’s drooping eyelids slightly lifted…
Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up at this moment.
Then,
The cracked lips slowly parted,
A vague and deep word was uttered,
“…Get lost.”
Boom——!!!
A violent and powerful pressure erupted from the ancient ape, and Lin Qiye felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a massive hammer, instantly being sent flying!
At the moment this aura appeared, the expressions of the three people outside changed simultaneously.
“This power…”
Bragi reacted quickly, catching the flying Lin Qiye, and then two divine pressures, one black and one blue, suddenly erupted beside him!
Night and magic intertwined at the door of the ward, colliding with the raging divine power, and a terrifying whirlwind surged out from the entrance, sweeping through the entire mental hospital.
“What’s going on?!”
Li Yifei, who was busy in the kitchen, turned pale under this pressure. He hurriedly ran to the courtyard, only to see the sky above the hospital darkening, with blinding light flashing from the second floor, causing his mind to tremble uncontrollably.
The other nurses were similarly affected.
The highest among them was only at the “Sea” level, and under the collision of the three divine powers, they naturally felt an innate sense of fear.
“Red, Sister Hongyan…” Azura clutched Hongyan’s sleeve, her small face filled with panic. “What happened?”
Hongyan’s eyes softened as she patted Azura’s head. “Don’t be afraid.”
“Are these patients starting to fight? Can’t they make things easier for us…” Li Yifei murmured, feeling the heart-stopping pressure.
Second floor.
In the fourth ward, pure magical fluctuations rippled out, a wave of darkness rapidly spreading outward. Under the combined divine pressure of Nyx and Merlin, the raging divine power surprisingly did not fall into a disadvantage.
In the center of the ward, the kasaya on the seated ancient ape grew increasingly radiant, and his drooping eyelids slightly lifted, brilliant golden light spilling from his eyes, as if two suns were burning fiercely.
The raging divine power surged again, multiplying several times, actually suppressing the divine powers of night and magic!
“Dare to lay a hand on my child… seeking death!”
Nyx stared at the figure, a rare anger appearing on her gentle and dignified face. The black starry gauze skirt moved without wind, its hem connecting with the night behind her, as endless darkness rapidly spread through the corridor.
The ancient ape’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the encroaching darkness, a serious expression finally appearing on his face.
His hands, which were pressed together, slowly parted, about to do something when a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
“Disperse.”
In an instant, night, magic, and the raging divine power vanished as if erased by some force of rule, completely dissipating without a trace.
Lin Qiye brushed off the dust from his white coat and slowly walked between Nyx and Sun Wukong, turning to the worried Nyx and smiling as he said, “Don’t worry, Mother, he didn’t intend to harm me; he just wanted to drive me out of the room.”
The divine power that had just flung Lin Qiye out of the room, while seemingly terrifying, actually had little lethality, proving that Sun Wukong had indeed held back.
He turned to look into the ward, seeing that the ancient ape’s previously opened eyes had closed again, sitting like a statue, all the divine power around him withdrawn into his body, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Lin Qiye stared at him for a long time, letting out a long sigh. “It seems the Great Sage isn’t in a good mood today, so I’ll come back another day.”
Lin Qiye turned around and was about to leave the room.
“No.”
A deep voice suddenly came from within the ward.
Lin Qiye stopped in his tracks.
Inside the ward, the ancient ape opened his cracked lips once more, a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
His voice was somewhat hoarse,
“Don’t… call me Great Sage.”
