Among the six wards, only the door of the first ward could be opened.
Was this the only ward set to be "openable", or was it like the door that he had knocked on for five years, that with his current strength, he could only open the first door?
Lin Qiye had knocked on the big door for five years. After opening his eyes, his mental perception had increased, allowing him to open the door and enter the hospital.
Then, for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth wards, would he only be able to open them after his strength increased?
Lin Qiye wasn't sure, and he didn't have the time to dwell on these questions now.
Because in front of him, the door of the ward that had been covered with seals was slowly opening.
The space in the ward wasn't large, and the light was very dim. In the center of the ward, there was a chair, and a woman dressed in a star-sand black dress was sitting on the chair, staring blankly ahead.
Apart from this woman and the chair, there was nothing else in the dimly lit room.
Lin Qiye carefully walked to the side of the door. After thinking for a while, a very formal smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand at the woman inside.
"Hello, I'm Lin Qiye."
No matter who she was, it wouldn't be wrong to be polite first. As the saying goes, a kind smile can ward off hostility. If he was polite, even if this was a god, she probably wouldn't make things difficult for him.
However, even though Lin Qiye's face was almost frozen from smiling outside, the woman in black remained as motionless as a statue.
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and walked directly into the room.
The moment he entered the room, a line of words suddenly appeared on the wall behind the woman in black.
"
Ward 1.
Patient: Nyx
Task: Help Nyx treat her mental illness. When the treatment progress reaches the specified values (1%, 50%, 100%), you can randomly draw some of Nyx's abilities.
Current treatment progress: 0%
"
"Nyx?" Lin Qiye gasped after seeing the words on the wall!
Although he didn't know much about mythology, as one of the five primordial gods of creation in ancient Greek mythology, Nyx, the goddess of the night, was someone he had heard of.
This was one of the gods standing at the very top of the mythological system!
So, was this seemingly dull woman in front of him the renowned goddess of the night?
With her aloof and elegant temperament, flawless features, smooth black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, and the black star-sand dress as deep as the night, setting off her fair skin like the creamy white of a snowy mountain, so delicate that it seemed to be able to be touched.
Although her eyes were empty, just by sitting there, the temperament she exuded was far beyond what a human could possess.
Even the empresses in history couldn't compare with her.
Nyx, she was a god and also a sovereign.
The sovereign of the night!
Lin Qiye stroked his chin and carefully examined Nyx up close. He had seen a god with his own eyes. Compared with the Seraphim on the Moon, he always felt that there was something missing from Nyx.
Divinity? Power? Authority?
Or was it all of them?
Lin Qiye didn't know, but he could guess that Nyx's current state was definitely related to her illness.
But one had to know that this was a god!
A god standing at the very top of mythology!
How could she be ill?
Was her illness naturally occurring, or... caused by someone?
If it was naturally occurring, Lin Qiye didn't really believe it. But if it was caused by someone... Lin Qiye didn't know what kind of existence could make the goddess of the night ill.
And it was a mental illness.
According to the words on the wall, Lin Qiye now needed to try to help Nyx treat her illness. But what exactly was her illness?
As a former "mentally ill patient", Lin Qiye knew something about mental illnesses. Generally speaking, they could be divided into depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, delusional disorder, and so on.
To treat Nyx's illness, he first had to determine what kind of illness she had.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then squatted down in front of Nyx and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Can you hear me?" Lin Qiye whispered in Nyx's ear.
Suddenly, Nyx's body trembled, startling Lin Qiye. He instinctively took a few steps back!
Then, Nyx's head stiffly turned towards Lin Qiye's direction, and her blank eyes stared straight at him!
Lin Qiye swallowed hard and didn't dare to move.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just as Lin Qiye's scalp was tingling from Nyx's stare, the expression in Nyx's eyes changed.
From blankness to confusion,
From confusion to shock,
From shock to tears welling up in her eyes!
Nyx's body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her lips opened with difficulty.
After choking for a long time,
She said hoarsely:
"I've finally found you... my child!!"
At this moment, Lin Qiye felt as if an electric current shot up from the soles of his feet to his brain, leaving his mind in a blank state of shock!
She?
Me?
Child?
Huh???
Lin Qiye really couldn't remember what his parents looked like. After all, they had disappeared after giving birth to him and entrusting him to his aunt.
But...
His mother should, perhaps, probably be a human.
Not the goddess of the night.
No, what if...
Wait! How could this foreign goddess of the night speak Chinese so well?
Oh right, this is my dream. It doesn't seem strange that I can understand the language of the gods... Maybe this is the transmission of signals through brainwaves?
While Lin Qiye was lost in his thoughts, Nyx stood up, opened her arms, and staggered towards Lin Qiye!
She ran faster and faster, and her expression became more and more excited!
At this moment, Lin Qiye's mind was in a complete mess. He instinctively opened his arms, wanting to embrace the goddess of the night!
However,
The goddess of the night just ran past Lin Qiye and
Hugged the small vase on the windowsill behind Lin Qiye tightly.
Nyx held the vase tightly, and tears streamed down her face. "My child... You're still alive. I've finally found you!"
Lin Qiye: ...???
Then, Nyx's gaze fell on the chair that she had been sitting on for god knows how long.
After being stunned for a moment,
She rushed forward and hugged the chair and the vase, crying bitterly again!
"Hypnos! My child, you're here too!!"
Lin Qiye, who was completely bewildered, stood there like a statue, watching as Nyx successively recognized the vase, the chair, the wall, and the air as her children, crying her eyes out.
Lin Qiye: I think I probably know what's wrong with her...
She's really sick...
...
In the morning, Lin Qiye slowly woke up from his dream. Looking at the bare ceiling, he let out a helpless sigh.
After spending a whole night with Nyx, Lin Qiye felt that something was wrong with himself.
Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
In his mind, the Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods shrouded in fog was floating and sinking. There seemed to be a close connection between him and the hospital.
Now he didn't need to fall asleep to project his consciousness into the psychiatric hospital at any time.
Was this the benefit of opening the door... Lin Qiye tried to connect his consciousness to the psychiatric hospital and could immediately sense everything that was happening inside.
Of course, the five sealed wards were still inaccessible.
At this moment, Nyx was in the yard, hugging the vase and the chair, talking to the air beside her, and no one knew what she was saying.
Lin Qiye sat on the bed, rubbing the corner of his eye in frustration:
"Treat the illness, treat the illness... I'm not a doctor. How can I help her treat her illness..."
Suddenly, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
Lin Qiye squinted his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
