Chapter 891 I Won’t
The Divine Mental Hospital.
In the center of the courtyard under the big tree, a quiet and mysterious figure stood alone.
Today, Merlin wore his deep blue magical robe again, with a hood symbolizing mystery and the unknown on his head. In his hand was neither a thermos of wolfberry tea nor a thick health manual, but only a slender magic staff emanating a faint glow.
He raised his head, gazing at the void in the sky, his eyes full of profound wisdom, standing motionless like a sculpture.
Seemingly noticing Merlin’s unusual behavior, the two rivals Sun Wukong and Gilgamesh rarely weren’t fighting today, but instead stood at their ward doors, gazing from afar at where Merlin stood.
Sun Wukong held a huge wine jar, took a big gulp, and the splashing wine drops fell on Gilgamesh beside him, whose eyes immediately filled with anger.
“Monkey, are you seeking death?!” He turned to Sun Wukong and said in a cold, lowered voice.
“…Hmph.”
Sun Wukong glanced at him, said nothing, disdainfully turned away his gaze, and continued drinking from the wine jar.
Although Sun Wukong said nothing, his look said it all, and the anger in Gilgamesh’s eyes grew more intense!
“G-gentlemen…” At this moment, a voice weakly came from behind them.
They turned to look and saw Bragi holding his harp, carefully speaking, “Today, let’s not cause trouble, okay? Uncle Merlin doesn’t have much time left…”
Hearing the last words, Gilgamesh frowned, turned to look at the magician standing alone under the tree, and said puzzledly:
“What’s wrong with that old man?”
Gilgamesh was a new patient here and hadn’t witnessed Nyx leaving the hospital. Now seeing Merlin’s state, he was also confused.
Sun Wukong wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:
“He’s leaving.”
…
“Uncle Merlin, what are you looking at?”
Li Yifei walked leisurely to the courtyard, seeing Merlin standing alone under the tree looking up in a daze, and asked curiously.
Merlin’s gaze was as deep as an abyss, quietly staring at the void above, and after a long while, he finally answered:
“Fate.”
“Fate? Whose fate?”
Merlin didn’t answer, he just silently took off his hat, gently stroked his head, and several strands of hair fell to the ground.
At the same time, the progress bar floating above his head moved forward one more notch!
“Merlin’s Treatment Progress: 99%”
Merlin glanced at the progress bar and let out a long sigh.
“It’s about time…”
Hearing these words, Li Yifei was slightly stunned, as if remembering something, and tentatively asked: “Uncle Merlin… are you leaving too?”
“Yes, if I don’t leave, your director will be in danger,” Merlin smiled helplessly, “Besides, my time has reached its limit.”
Li Yifei’s face immediately fell.
“Uncle Merlin, you can’t leave! Who will keep those two troublemakers in check? They’ll surely turn this place upside down!”
“Don’t worry, even after we leave, they will follow the rules I set,” Merlin smiled slightly, patting Li Yifei’s shoulder, “Keep up the good work, perhaps we’ll meet again someday.”
Li Yifei pressed his lips together and nodded heavily, stepping back outside the courtyard, leaving the entire space to Merlin, quietly waiting on the side.
Merlin held his staff, standing quietly there, reached out his left hand, and gently pinched between his eyebrows.
A small ball of pink light was pulled from his body, floating in his palm, and within that light, one could vaguely see a floating pink starfish.
That was the foreign soul that had previously invaded his mental world. As the treatment progressed, this soul was gradually cleared from Merlin’s body, and what Merlin now held was the last remnant of the soul…
Also his last root of illness.
When this soul was extracted from his body, the progress bar above Merlin’s head moved forward one more notch, and lines of small text floated out:
“Merlin’s Treatment Progress: 100%”
“Magic God Merlin’s treatment complete, please leave the hospital immediately.”
“Reward conditions met, beginning random extraction of Merlin’s divine ability…”
Merlin’s gaze swept over these small texts, looked back one last time at this familiar mental hospital, with a helpless smile curling at his lips.
He slowly raised his magic staff and gently tapped the grass beneath his feet. A huge blue-white magic circle instantly spread out, covering the entire courtyard, emanating mysterious space-time fluctuations!
“Goodbye.”
Merlin muttered to himself, the magic circle beneath his feet blazed with light, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot.
The Divine Mental Hospital once again fell into silence.
…
Deep sea.
Lin Qiye saw that rapidly approaching silver ring, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
He had seen this scene in the timeline at the end of [Yi Yuan]…
The erasure by the Law of Time had begun.
Jia Lan in Lin Qiye’s arms also saw this scene, and her hand hovering in mid-air slowly withdrew.
She didn’t retract [Immortality].
“Jia Lan?” Seeing this, Lin Qiye was stunned, “What are you doing?! Quickly retract [Immortality]!”
Jia Lan pressed her blood-stained lips together, her red eyes full of struggle, she tremblingly buried her head in Lin Qiye’s chest, holding his body tightly, saying nothing.
“I won’t…” Jia Lan murmured.
“Jia Lan!!” This time Lin Qiye was truly angry, he shouted anxiously.
Looking at Jia Lan’s stubborn and pale face, somehow, Lin Qiye thought of what he had just seen in the timeline… [Mask].
Similarly during the time erasure process, similarly with two people, Vortex gave his lifetime cultivation to King Mask, exchanging for his chance to live, and Jia Lan’s expression now was almost identical to Vortex’s then.
Jia Lan had no intention of retracting [Immortality]. As long as [Immortality] remained, the Law of Time could do nothing to Lin Qiye, he could survive this erasure unscathed… even if he was the only one.
She wanted to trade her life for Lin Qiye’s life.
Under this erasure by the Law of Time, Lin Qiye would become the only survivor of the [Nightfall] team…
Just like King Mask back then.
