Lin Qiye was really tired.
Both mentally and physically.
He really didn't expect that this would happen on his first day of transfer. He encountered a monster, was betrayed by a classmate, had a thrilling fight, opened his eyes for no apparent reason, and then a superman uncle suddenly jumped out and sneaked away...
Lin Qiye was not stupid. He knew that his experience tonight definitely involved the hidden side of this world: the monster that ate human faces, the golden light coming out of his body, and the man who single-handedly defeated the monster.
That man is not an ordinary person, and judging from his report on the walkie-talkie, there must be a huge organization behind him. This organization may be hidden in the world and specializes in dealing with such strange incidents.
He saw the light on himself, and maybe even saw himself killing a monster alone, so he wanted to recruit me to join...
It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about the secret side. He wanted to know what he had encountered tonight and what had happened to him, but he did not want to be caught up in this vortex because of his curiosity.
Some secrets, once known, can never be escaped.
He doesn't want to be a hero who protects humanity, he wants to protect...
There is only this home of mine.
Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
The familiar fog descended again.
In the dream, Lin Qiye looked around and sighed helplessly, "Still won't let me go? I fight monsters when I'm awake, and they come knocking on my door when I'm asleep. What a miserable life..."
Lin Qiye took two steps with familiarity, and soon, the outline of a mental hospital appeared before his eyes.
On the ancient plaque on the right, there is a line of large characters engraved.
—The Asylum of the Gods.
Lin Qiye walked to the front of the gate and stood still, reaching for the ring in front of the door. The moment his fingertips touched the ring, the entire ground shook slightly!
The fog around suddenly rolled up.
Lin Qiye grabbed the ring, looking confused.
What the hell? I haven't even knocked yet, why is it shaking
Wasn’t it like this before
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Could it be because... he opened his eyes today
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked at the body in his dream, his eyes gradually brightening.
In the past, Lin Qiye’s body in dreams was translucent and as fragile as a floating mist.
But today his body was obviously much more solid. Although it still had no substance, it was no longer transparent.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the door in front of him that had blocked his way for five years, his eyes becoming more and more fiery.
Today... maybe it will work!
He took a deep breath, clenched the ring in his hand, and slammed it against the door!
"clang!"
The sound of an ancient bell rang from the mental hospital, several times louder than before. Fortunately, Lin Qiye had no body now, otherwise his eardrums would have been hurt by the sound.
The moment the bell rang, the entire mental hospital began to shake violently again!
There's hope! Lin Qiye's eyes lit up.
"clang!"
"clang!!"
"clang!!!"
Lin Qiye didn't stop and knocked three times in a row. The mental hospital shook as if there was an earthquake!
Finally, after the last knock, there was a loud noise in the mental hospital, and then everything returned to silence...
Just when Lin Qiye was about to knock again, the door in front of him made a dull creaking sound and moved slowly.
The door opened.
"Buzz-boom!"
After the door was fully opened, an ancient and dim corridor appeared in front of Lin Qiye.
The floor of the corridor is made of unknown material, emitting a faint fluorescence. There are also burning balls of light hanging on the surrounding walls, which looks mysterious and eerie.
Lin Qiye walked along the corridor and soon came to a fork in the road. Above the fork was a modern road sign.
"The left side is the ward, and the right side is the activity area..." Lin Qiye muttered to himself as he looked at the road sign, "Why is this layout exactly the same as the mental hospital where I lived back then?"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and walked into the activity area first.
There are not many rooms in the activity area, but they have everything they need, including a multimedia room for watching TV and movies, a lounge for playing chess and entertainment, a study room for reading and studying... There is even a circular open-air lawn inside the building, on which are placed all kinds of sports equipment.
"It's exactly the same. This dream is so weird." Lin Qiye frowned and shook his head in confusion.
After touring the activity area, he turned around and walked towards the ward area on the other side.
When he reached the door of the ward area, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped.
"This place... is different." Lin Qiye muttered to himself as he looked at the dark and monotonous corridor in front of him.
He clearly remembered that when he was in Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital, there were several floors of wards, and although the facilities were not very advanced, they were at least clean and tidy.
However, the ward area in front of Lin Qiye only had one floor and only six rooms.
The doors of these six rooms were covered with strange symbols and graphics, so densely packed that they looked like some kind of seal. Just one look at them made Lin Qiye dizzy.
Lin Qiye forced his eyes away from the door, calmed his mind, and looked away.
On the upper right side of the ward, there is an ancient doorplate. Each room has a different pattern on its doorplate.
For example, in Ward No. 1 where Lin Qiye is standing now, there is a big black circle painted on the doorplate.
On the doorplate of Ward No. 2, there was something that looked like a stick or a pen.
Lin Qiye walked along the corridor until he reached the sixth ward, but he still had no clue when looking at the door numbers.
He looked at the strange door in front of him and fell into deep thought.
In the mental hospital in his dream, only the ward area was different from the Sunshine Mental Hospital in his memory.
So, are there really patients living in these wards
Or maybe, as the name of this mental hospital suggests, the one living inside is... God
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached for the door handle of the sixth ward.
It’s not that Lin Qiye was reckless. On the one hand, this was his dream, and even if something went wrong, it would not have much impact on him. On the other hand, in order to enter this mental hospital, he had been knocking on the door day after day for five years, and he didn’t want to leave in confusion.
And in his subconscious, he felt that perhaps there were some secrets related to himself in this mental hospital
Otherwise, why is the layout here exactly the same as the Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital where he lived
Lin Qiye's hand gradually approached, and his fingertips gently touched the door handle, and a slightly cool touch was transmitted.
There was no repulsion or pain as imagined, and my hand simply gripped the handle naturally.
Lin Qiye pulled hard!
The door did not move.
He stood still, used all his strength, and pulled again!
Still not moving.
Lin Qiye gave up on this door and walked to the door of the fifth ward and pulled it hard.
Still can't open.
The fourth, the third, the second…
Lin Qiye tried each room one by one, but none of the doors could be opened, until finally, he reached the door of the first ward.
With the mentality that he was bound to fail, Lin Qiye pulled hard on the door of the first ward.
“Crack!”
A slight sound came from the door handle, and the complex patterns and patterns engraved on the door suddenly broke, and then gradually dissipated into the air.
Lin Qiye was startled and took a few steps back, staring straight ahead!
The door opened.
