Zhao Kongcheng was stunned.
He really didn't expect that this ordinary high school student in front of him would actually say such a thing and have such mature ideas...
Only then did he realize how ridiculous it was that he had tried to appeal to the common immature and hot-blooded psychology of young boys.
Lin Qiye is not an ordinary high school student.
Lin Qiye stood up, walked straight to the door, hesitated for a moment, and stopped.
"Thank you for telling me so much. I will sign the confidentiality agreement."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out.
This time, Zhao Kongcheng just sat silently beside the bed, stood up slightly, as if he wanted to hold him, and after a brief pause, he sat back weakly.
He knew what this boy meant, and he also knew that he had the mission to bring this boy back, but...
He can't do it.
…
"Xiao Qi, you're finally back? Why aren't you wearing your school uniform today?"
"Auntie, I got up in a hurry this morning and forgot to put it on."
"You kid... won't the teacher scold you if you don't wear school uniform
"It's just a few words, it's okay."
"Hey, Xiaoqi, you just transferred to a new school. You must not leave a bad impression on the teacher. You must be more careful in what you do."
"I understand, auntie."
"How are you getting along with your classmates at school? They don't exclude you, do they?"
"No, we got along well. They even gave me a ride home and I gave them a ride back."
"That's good. That's good."
"I'm going back to my room auntie."
"Well, go to bed early."
Boom!
Lin Qiye closed the door, lay on his back on the bed, looked at the night outside the window, and let out a long sigh.
This world is much more complicated than he imagined...
However, this has little to do with him.
After resting for a while, Lin Qiye sat up. As he began to take off his clothes, a hard object fell out of his pocket.
clang clang!
Lin Qiye lowered his head, picked up the thing, and a look of doubt appeared between his brows.
This is a metal ornament, like a coat of arms, only slightly larger than a one-dollar coin. I don't know what material it is made of, but it gives off a faint cool feeling when I hold it in my hand.
On the front of the emblem, two straight swords are intertwined, and the blades emit a faint blue glow. The background behind the swords is a night sky dotted with stars. The workmanship is extremely exquisite!
Below the pattern, three small characters "Zhao Kongcheng" are engraved.
"This is..." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lin Qiye recalled that when Zhao Kongcheng was dragging him towards the hotel, he seemed to have touched his pocket.
Did he lose it accidentally
Lin Qiye fiddled with the emblem and turned it over. On the back, there were a few lines of small words engraved.
"When the dark night finally comes,
I will stand before tens of thousands of people.
With the sword facing the abyss,
The sky is stained with blood!"
"What a bold idea... Was this written by Zhao Kongcheng himself? Or is it the training for the night watchmen?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself, "He looks so stupid, he doesn't seem like someone who can write such words..."
After playing with it for a while, Lin Qiye put it on the table, changed his clothes and climbed onto the bed.
He has something very important to do tonight.
He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the mental hospital of the gods in his mind.
At this moment, in the small courtyard of the mental hospital, Nyx was sitting in a rocking chair holding a pile of bottles and jars. He seemed to be muttering something, with a smile appearing from time to time.
If we ignore the cloudiness in her eyes and the strange things in her arms, and only look at the noble temperament she exudes in her every move, this will surely be a beautiful picture.
Not long after, Lin Qiye, wearing a white coat, walked slowly over.
In order to better fit in the role of a psychiatrist, Lin Qiye specially found a white coat in the dean's office and even clipped a pair of plain glasses on his collar.
At first glance, it does seem to be the case.
Lin Qiye walked to the rocking chair, silently stared at Nyx's cloudy and dull eyes, and sighed softly.
From the mythological texts he had read, Nyx was indeed one of the oldest and most powerful gods in Greek mythology, with both status and power being top-notch.
But compared to other gods, she has one biggest characteristic...
Love having kids!
According to Lin Qiye's statistics, Nyx has at least 20 children, including the famous god of death Thanatos, the god of sleep Hypnos, as well as the god of space, the goddess of fate, the god of misfortune, and so on...
Except for a very few, the vast majority of Nyx's children were evil gods. They brought disaster to the world after their birth, and many of them met with a tragic end.
From the few words in the myth, Lin Qiye could not get more detailed information about the goddess of night, but he speculated that Nyx's current illness might be related to her offspring.
The doctor at Sunshine Mental Hospital said that a male patient missed his wife so much that he imagined her being by his side. Is Nyx's illness the same
Because she missed her children so much, she treated those bottles and jars as her children
But what happened to her offspring to cause such a violent reaction from Nyx
And as an ancient god with divinity, could she really have such strong emotions? Or... before she became ill, her divine body was taken away from her and her divinity was stripped away
Lin Qiye didn't know.
"Hypnos, don't worry, your brother will be back soon, he just played for a while...
Danados has always loved to stir up trouble since he was young. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson!"
Nyx stroked the vase in his hand, staring blankly into the distance. A hint of hope appeared in his eyes, and then they became cloudy again.
She paused, her hoarse voice trembling slightly:
"Can…
Three thousand years, why hasn't he come back yet..."
Lin Qiye looked at this scene, and for some reason, a sour feeling rose in his heart.
Who would have thought that the once high and mighty goddess of night would now be so helpless and humble.
She is the goddess of the night and a mother waiting for her child to return.
"If you want to cure her disease, you must start from the root..." Lin Qiye's mind once again echoed the doctor's words. He lowered his head and thought hard.
The root cause... The root cause of Nyx's illness is the child she lost.
If you want to cure her, you can only start with her children. But you have to know that her children are all famous Greek gods. It is impossible for me to find them one by one and bring them to Nyx, right
But Lin Qiye didn’t even know whether they were brought to this world by the fog, so where could he find so many gods
Even if I find them, will those evil gods really follow me
Lin Qiye frowned and thought, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration passed through his mind!
Maybe... this will work
Lin Qiye stood up, stared at Nyx in confusion for a long time, and finally made up his mind and took a step forward.
In Nyx's dull eyes, Lin Qiye walked up to her step by step...
Squat down gently.
Reach out your arms and hug Nyx,
Whisper in her ear:
"Mom, I'm back."
At this moment, Nyx's eyes suddenly glowed with an unprecedented brilliance!!
She stretched out her hands tremblingly and hugged Lin Qiye tightly. After a long time, she tremblingly said a complete sentence:
"Welcome back, Thanatos, my child..."
