Chapter 562: Untitled
Lin Qiye stood frozen like a statue.
“What did you draw?” Nix’s voice came from above.
“Super… Supernatural Fertility…” Lin Qiye almost bit his tongue saying those four words.
Nix in the sky fell silent for a long time, and finally called out a name:
“Merlin.”
“Got it, got it.”
Merlin sighed, and his magic staff slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a blindingly large white magic circle beneath his feet, enveloping the entire courtyard.
Rich magical elements exploded around Merlin, and the gusting wind billowed his wizard’s robe. He pressed down on his large pointed hat, murmuring a deep and obscure incantation.
His deep-set eyes erupted with an unprecedented blinding light.
“Time magic, [Cicada’s Cry Rewind].”
He raised his staff again and slammed it down hard on the ground. The white rotating magic circle beneath him suddenly paused, then began to rotate slowly and steadily in the opposite direction!
Hiss—!!
The piercing sound of cicadas echoed in the air!
As the cicada’s cry rang out, time around Lin Qiye began to flow backward. The words “[Supernatural Fertility]” that had been floating in the air actually drifted back into the magic circle, and Lin Qiye’s previously gloomy expression transformed back to shock, then to tense anticipation…
Time rewound by ten seconds.
Lin Qiye felt a moment of dizziness, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself standing in the courtyard again.
Before him floated the ability wheel, still quietly hovering and yet to start spinning, as if the last ten seconds had never happened.
Lin Qiye stared blankly for a moment, then turned to Merlin beside him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Didn’t he just draw [Supernatural Fertility]? Why had the wheel returned to its original state?
“Lord Merlin…”
Merlin smiled, moving his hand away from his hat, just about to say something when a strand of hair swayed down from the gap in his hat…
Merlin’s expression froze.
He pressed his hat down tightly again, cleared his throat, and said, “Just a simple time magic. I can use magic to deceive this asylum and rewind a small fragment of time back to ten seconds ago, so… you can redraw Nix’s ability.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes immediately lit up.
So, if he drew an ability he wasn’t satisfied with, he could use time magic to reset?
“Lord Merlin, if you do this, don’t you need to pay some price?” Lin Qiye glanced thoughtfully at the hair on Merlin’s head.
Merlin’s expression became a bit strange. He silently hid his hand behind his back and said seriously, “Are you questioning the abilities of the God of Magic? It’s just a rewind of ten seconds. Even if there is some cost, it… um, isn’t very significant.
Moreover, this is a transaction between Lord Nix and me. You don’t need to feel any psychological pressure. If you need to rewind time, you can just tell me directly.”
“That’s right, my child, you can continue to redraw my ability, no matter how many times.” Nix’s gentle voice came from the sky.
Hearing the words “no matter how many times,” the corner of Merlin’s mouth twitched slightly, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes…
“Alright, then I’ll draw again.” Lin Qiye nodded and spun the wheel once more.
The wheel floating in the air began to spin rapidly, the pointer sweeping past dazzling abilities, finally stopping in one area.
—[Star Shatter].
Lin Qiye’s eyes brightened slightly.
This ability seemed quite good…
“Again.” Nix’s voice came again.
Lin Qiye was taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Mother, actually, I think this one is also okay…”
“Not enough, again.”
Nix’s voice brooked no refusal.
Merlin’s mouth twitched, and his staff struck the ground again, the cicada’s cry sounding once more as time began to rewind.
Moments later, Lin Qiye found himself back at the time when the wheel was about to spin.
He reached out to turn the wheel.
—[Dim Eye].
“Again.”
The cicada’s cry sounded again.
—[Nightfall].
“No, again.”
—[Dark Night Flicker].
“Again!”
Nix’s voice continued to ring out. Every time Lin Qiye announced the name of the ability he drew, she would shake her head and decisively demand another draw.
Even when Lin Qiye drew abilities he thought were quite good, they were still rejected. Poor Merlin could only activate time magic, rewinding time again and again. Each time he struck the staff, his hat would loosen a little.
After repeating this over thirty times, even Lin Qiye felt somewhat numb.
He didn’t understand what Nix wanted him to draw.
The last 1%?
The 42nd time.
Lin Qiye numbly spun the wheel, his gaze drifting slightly to the side. Staring at the wheel for so long made him a bit dizzy.
This time, the pointer passed over [Supernatural Fertility] and slowly stopped at that mysterious black area…
1%.
[Unknown].
Lin Qiye was taken aback.
“What did you draw?” Nix’s voice remained patient.
“I don’t know.” Lin Qiye shook his head. “It says ‘unknown.'”
As soon as he finished speaking, several pop-up windows suddenly flashed before Lin Qiye!
“Drawn Nix’s ‘unknown’ ability, analyzing…”
“Analysis progress 1%… 23%… 51%… 79%… 96%… 100%”
“Analysis complete.”
“Detected the essence of the night, [Unnamed].”
Lin Qiye stared at these lines of text, stunned for a moment, then continued, “It says this is the unnamed essence of the night.”
Upon hearing these words, Nix seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Alright… let’s go with this. No need to change it anymore.”
Merlin looked as if he had been pardoned!
Lin Qiye gazed at the three words [Unnamed] floating before him. Although he didn’t know what it was, he still reached out to touch the surface of the words.
It quickly transformed into a stream of light and surged into Lin Qiye’s body.
At that moment, Lin Qiye felt his mind go blank, as if a vast amount of information flooded into his brain, while a strange warmth flowed through his body, transforming him.
Countless black threads emerged from his skin, weaving in the air like a black cocoon, enveloping him entirely.
Lin Qiye’s presence suddenly vanished from the psychiatric hospital.
Nearby, a few caretakers who were happily eating snacks suddenly froze.
“What happened? Why did Qiye turn into an egg?” Li Yifei asked in confusion.
Hong Yan silently licked her lips.
