Chapter 901 Caregiver Lai Fu
Lin Qiye watched as Sun Wukong and Gilgamesh left, letting out a long sigh.
Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and he had done all he could. Whether things would develop according to his wishes was now beyond his control.
After all, they were the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the oldest Hero King in the world. Their actions and thoughts could not possibly be influenced by Lin Qiye; they would only act according to their own will.
Lin Qiye took a sip of tea and was about to return to his office to rest when, just as he turned the corridor corner, he saw Li Yifei leading a group of people out of the bathroom.
“Hey? Qiye?”
Li Yifei saw Lin Qiye and removed his face mask, waving at him.
“Li Yifei?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise, “Aren’t you the general manager? Why are you personally leading people to clean toilets?”
Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, “I’ve been leading the cleaning department to clean toilets all this time. Didn’t you assign Wancai to official duties?”
“When did I assign Wancai…”
Halfway through his sentence, Lin Qiye froze.
Then, as if remembering something, his mouth opened involuntarily…
Oh no!
He had completely forgotten about this!
Without another word, Lin Qiye turned and ran towards his office.
In the dark, narrow corridor, Lin Qiye, wearing his white coat, hurried through the empty prison.
He finally remembered why he hadn’t seen Wancai in the hospital lately.
After killing the Thunder Beast with Zhou Ping’s chopsticks, its soul was confined to the hospital. To increase the Thunder Beast’s fear value and turn it into an orderly, he had specifically assigned Wancai to intimidate it…
So much time had passed, and with one thing after another happening in Great Xia, Lin Qiye had completely forgotten about this matter.
Wonder how the Thunder Beast is doing now?
It was a god-level spirit after all, nothing serious should have happened, right?
Lin Qiye quickly walked to the cell door where the Thunder Beast was held, and as soon as he looked inside, he froze in place.
In the narrow cell, a deep blue cat was curled up in the corner, noticeably thinner than before, with traces of vomit at the corners of its mouth. Its eyes stared blankly ahead, showing neither despair nor pain, only the hollow emptiness that follows a storm.
And opposite to it, a pug wearing a tailcoat was standing on its hind legs, pressed against the cell bars, swaying its body seductively…
After staring at its bizarre and awkward dance moves for a while, Lin Qiye barely recognized that the dog seemed to be attempting to pole dance.
It opened its mouth, panting heavily, its dog lips curled up as it seductively winked at the cat in the corner.
The dazed deep blue cat in the corner suddenly trembled.
Its eyes rolled back, and it promptly fainted, foaming at the mouth.
Lin Qiye: …
Without a word, Lin Qiye grabbed Wancai by the mysteriously acquired tailcoat and pulled him out of the cell.
“Woof! Hello, Director!” Wancai greeted upon seeing Lin Qiye.
“What have you been doing?” Lin Qiye looked at the unconscious blue cat in the cell and couldn’t help but criticize, “I told you to discipline it, not attempt murder.”
Wancai blinked, seemingly not understanding the difference between discipline and attempted murder.
Lin Qiye sighed and asked, “How long has it been like this?”
“Like what?”
“Foaming at the mouth, fainting.”
Wancai thought for a moment, “At first it was about once a day, then the frequency gradually decreased. Now it’s about once every two or three days, though each time it stays unconscious for a day…”
Lin Qiye: …
Well, regardless of Wancai’s methods, as long as the Thunder Beast’s fear value reached the required 60, it would be fine. Otherwise, Lin Qiye would have to put in a lot more effort to turn it into a hospital orderly.
Lin Qiye turned to look at the panel in the prison.
”
Prisoner: Thunder Beast
Choice…
Current Fear Value: 673
”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched violently when he saw the red “673” on the panel.
He vaguely remembered that before Wancai started disciplining the Thunder Beast, its fear value was only in the twenties… What kind of inhuman torture had the Thunder Beast endured during this time?
Lin Qiye sighed and woke the Thunder Beast from its unconscious state. It suddenly sprang up from the ground, quickly retreating to the corner of the cell, covering its eyes with its small paws, its body curling into a ball and trembling uncontrollably.
“Thunder Beast,” Lin Qiye called out.
The Thunder Beast froze, raising its face full of terror and helplessness, staring at Lin Qiye for a moment before tears welled up in its eyes…
Seeing the Thunder Beast’s miserable expression, Lin Qiye awkwardly coughed twice, cleared his throat, and slowly spoke:
“Now, you have two choices, either die, or…”
“Meow–!!!”
“…you choose death?”
Lin Qiye’s expression became strange, and seeing the Thunder Beast’s determined look of seeking death, he fell silent for a moment before modifying the options, “Two choices, either become my orderly, or I’ll put it back in with you for ten years…”
The Thunder Beast’s body shook violently!
…
Two minutes later.
Wearing deep green orderly uniform with a nameplate on its chest, the Thunder Beast listlessly followed Lin Qiye out of the underground prison.
Under Wancai’s drooling and silly grinning expression, the Thunder Beast surrendered in half a second, obediently signing a contract with Lin Qiye to become the 432nd orderly of the Divine Mental Hospital… and also its first god-level orderly.
“Thunder Beast… no, from now on I’ll call you Laifu.” Lin Qiye didn’t even think before casually giving this Japanese divine beast from Takamagahara a thoroughly Great Xia cat name.
“Do you know about Huajing?”
Hearing these words, Laifu paused slightly and meowed weakly.
Although the Thunder Beast was a Japanese divine beast and couldn’t speak Chinese, after becoming an orderly at the Divine Mental Hospital, it established a mental link with Lin Qiye, allowing them to understand each other despite the language barrier.
“You’re saying it’s like you, also a divine beast from Takamagahara?” Lin Qiye paused before asking again, “Then do you know when it left Takamagahara?”
Laifu shook its head, “After I became the spirit of the Yata Mirror, I never returned to Takamagahara.”
“What about the gods of Takamagahara? Didn’t they come looking for you?”
“At first, Lord Takemikazuchi would come once a year to maintain and observe the situation within the ‘human circle’ and collect faith power… but later, he never came again.”
“What about the other Takamagahara deities?”
“They never appeared either, as if they had vanished, completely abandoning this ‘human circle.'”
“Vanished?” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed, “When did this start?”
Laifu thought for a moment before responding uncertainly: “Probably… about fifty or sixty years ago?”
