"You can touch it, of course you can touch it." Li Yifei grinned.
Suddenly, he glanced at the door of the activity room and saw the figure in a white coat. His expression suddenly froze on his face...
Ah Zhu looked in the direction Li Yifei was looking at in confusion, and when she saw Lin Qiye's expressionless face, she screamed, quickly stood up and lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Only the Rubik's Cube on the side was still spinning rapidly, as if it was just an emotionless shuffling machine.
"Qiye... Oh no, Dean, I'm leading the patients in entertainment activities, cough cough cough..." Li Yifei said somewhat awkwardly.
"Danadus, my good grandson is teaching us how to play games." Nix said with a smile. It can be seen that she is having a lot of fun.
Lin Qiye looked at the trembling Ah Zhu and the bewildered Li Yifei, and sighed helplessly.
"Why are you so nervous? Expanding the entertainment options for patients and entertaining them physically and mentally is a good thing. I'm not an unreasonable and black-hearted boss. Can I deduct your salary?"
Well... that's assuming you have salary deductions.
Seeing Lin Qiye say this, Ah Zhu and Li Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qiye didn't have time to waste on these trivial matters. He walked straight to Nyx and said with a serious expression:
"Mother, I may need your strength later, then..."
Nyx smiled. "Danadus, my child, I will always be by your side whenever you need me."
Hearing Nix's answer, Lin Qiye felt warm in his heart, and his hanging heart finally settled down. Is this what it feels like to have a backer and a supporter...
At this time, Merlin on the side raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Qiye carefully.
"Your Excellency, you seem to be in trouble."
Lin Qiye was startled, "Mr. Merlin, you are right..."
"Someone is chasing you, and they seem to be stronger than you are now. There are probably... two? No, it should be three..."
Merlin's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through Lin Qiye's fate. In just a moment, he guessed most of Lin Qiye's situation.
Lin Qiye's eyes gradually lit up, "Sir Merlin, do you have a way to break the impasse?"
Merlin shook his head. "I am just a scholar imprisoned in the hospital. I can't help you..."
Just as Lin Qiye's eyes showed regret, Merlin continued, "But I know that brute force is often the best weapon to break through difficulties."
"But I can't beat them." Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly.
"Realm is not the only criterion for measuring combat power. There are also experience, wisdom, and... some wonderful little tricks." Merlin looked at Lin Qiye meaningfully and said slowly,
"Like, this amazing hospital, like... them."
Merlin stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yifei and Azhu who were standing aside in nursing uniforms. The latter two were stunned and looked at each other blankly, as if they did not understand what Merlin was talking about.
Lin Qiye was also stunned. He looked at the two nurses in confusion and shook his head slightly, "But, the nurses can't take me out of here. I've tried..."
"You can't follow the established rules in everything. If you want to become strong, you must learn to break the rules with your own wisdom." Merlin gently picked up a mahjong on the table, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he gently pushed down all the mahjong in front of him.
"I can only remind you up to this point. The rest is up to you."
Merlin stood up slowly, holding the "Health Care Handbook for Middle-aged and Elderly People" beside the chair, and walked out of the activity room...
Lin Qiye stared blankly at the long string of winning cards on the table, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Break the rules... break the rules..." he muttered to himself.
After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Merlin's departing back, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Could it be that… "
He turned around and looked at Li Yifei and Ah Zhu who were both confused, as well as Rubik's Cube who was squatting in the corner and shuffling cards silently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Dean... Dean, what do you want to do?" Li Yifei saw Lin Qiye's strange look, took two steps back vigilantly, protected his chest with his hands, and spoke in a low voice.
"Nothing." Lin Qiye smiled and stretched out a finger. A mysterious and gorgeous magic circle was quickly drawn at his fingertips. "I just want to be with you guys...
Sign another contract."
…
In the dark and deep underground cave, Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
He squatted down, touched the little mummy's head, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a rest. Leave the rest to me..."
The little mummy tilted its head, seeming a little worried, but as the magic circle unfolded, it obediently returned to its own world. Before leaving, it waved its little hand to Lin Qiye reluctantly.
As the magic circle dissipated, Lin Qiye was the only one left in the empty underground cave.
In the darkness, his eyes were unusually bright.
The remaining raindrops dripped onto the ground along the hem of his black military coat. He slowly closed his eyes, placed one hand on the hilt of the straight knife at his waist, and walked step by step towards the intricate cave.
"Now, it's my turn to be the hunter..."
…
In the same underground cave, a painful groan was heard.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Baili Pangpang's mouth twitched. He endured the pain all over his body and struggled to get up from the ground.
When the mountain overturned, he was carrying the unconscious Shen Qingzhu on his back and walking towards Village No. 1. During the fall, he directly protected Shen Qingzhu with his body and bore all the impact for him.
Fortunately, he was protected by [Yaoguang], and he also had thick skin and strong flesh, so he did not get hurt even after falling down with the weight of two people.
"Where is this? Where's Brother Zha?" Baili Pangpang looked around blankly, took out a monocle from his pocket and put it on, and soon he could see the environment clearly in the dark.
"The cave?"
Baili Pangpang was stunned for a moment, and soon found Shen Qingzhu lying not far away. Although Baili Pangpang blocked the impact for him, he still suffered a lot of wounds during the fall. Although the Forbidden Scroll can isolate the inside and the outside, it does not have the effect of healing wounds.
Shen Qingzhu's coat was almost completely stained with blood. As time passed, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and blood foam continued to seep out from the corners of his mouth...
Baili Pangpang gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, took out a piece of green jade from his pocket, and stuffed it into Shen Qingzhu's arms.
"Damn it, you got it for free... I'm going to lose a lot now!"
Baili Pangpang muttered something, endured the pain, carried Shen Qingzhu on his back, and staggered forward.
