Chapter 12: Goddess Of The Night

POSTED ON MARCH 18, 2023 BY TIBETANTERRIER

There were six wards, and only the first door could be opened.

Is it that only this room has been set to ‘openable,’ or is it like knocking on a door for five years, where my current strength can only open the first door?

Lin Qiye knocked on the door for five years. After opening his eyes, his spiritual perception increased, and he could open the door and enter the hospital.

Then, am I only able to open the next second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth wards after my strength increases?

Lin Qiye was unsure and did not have time to worry about it now.

In front of him was the slowly opening ward’s door, which was once covered with seals.

There wasn’t much space in the ward. Moreover, the ward was dimly lit. Then, there was a chair in the center with a woman in a starry black sequined dress sitting on it, staring blankly in front of her.

Except for this person and a chair, there was nothing else in the dark room.

Lin Qiye walked to the door cautiously, thought for a while, and waved to the woman inside with a professional smile.

“Hi, I’m Lin Qiye.”

No matter who she was, it was better to be polite first. As the saying goes, people tend not to harm someone polite toward them. If he acted politely, he should not be troubled, even if she was a god.

However, Lin Qiye’s face grew stiff from the smile, but the woman in black remained motionless like a sculpture.

Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and walked directly into the room.

The moment he entered the room, lines of text suddenly appeared on the wall behind the woman in black.

No. 1 Ward.

Patient: Nyx

Mission: Help Nyx treat her mental illness. When the treatment progress reaches the specified value (1%, 50%, 100%), some of Nyx’s abilities can be randomly drawn into your possession.

Current Healing Progress: 0%

“Nyx?” Lin Qiye gasped after reading the writing on the wall!

Although he did not know much about mythology, he had heard of Nyx, the Goddess of the Night. She was one of the five creator gods in ancient Greek mythology.

She was one of the few gods standing at the top of the mythology system!

So, this dull-looking woman in front of her is the famous Night Goddess?

The goddess had a cool and elegant temperament, flawless facial features, and smooth long black hair draping down the back like a waterfall. She had a starry black sequined dress as deep as the night, complimenting her delicate and fair skin like a snow-capped mountain.

Although her eyes were lifeless, the aura she exuded simply by sitting here was far beyond what humans could possess.

Even the female emperors who had existed in history could not be compared with her.

Nyx, she was a god and an empress — the Empress of the Night!

Lin Qiye rubbed his chin and looked at Nyx closely. He had seen god with his own eyes. Compared to that seraph on the moon, he felt something was missing in Nyx.

Divinity? Power? Authority?

What’s missing?

Lin Qiye did not know, but he could guess that Nyx’s current state had something to do with her illness.

But you know, this is a god!

A god standing at the top of mythology!

How could she be ill?

Is her disease natural or caused by someone?

Lin Qiye would not believe that it stemmed from natural illness. However, to say that someone maliciously caused it, Lin Qiye did not know what kind of existence could make the Night Goddess sick.

Moreover, it was a mental illness.

According to the words on the wall, Lin Qiye needed to help Nyx to heal her illness, but what illness did she have?

As a former “mental patient”, Lin Qiye also knew a little about mental illness. Generally speaking, it could be divided into depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, and so on.

To treat Nyx’s disease, it was first necessary to determine what disease she had.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, squatted in front of Nyx, and shook her 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 subconsciously took a few steps back!

Immediately afterward, Nyx turned her head stiffly in Lin Qiye’s direction, staring at him with dull eyes!

Lin Qiye swallowed, not daring to move.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Just when Lin Qiye’s scalp was feeling uncomfortable from Nyx’s stare, Nyx’s eyes changed.

From dullness to doubt,

From doubt to shock,

From shock to tears!

Nyx’s body trembled slightly, tears rolled in her eyes, and her lips opened with difficulty,

She tried to hold back her tears as she spoke in a hoarse voice,

“I finally found you… my child!!”

At this moment, Lin Qiye felt a current rushing from the soles of his feet to his brain, which shocked his mind to a blank!

She?

I?

Child?

Um???

Lin Qiye did not remember what her parents looked like. After passing him to Aunty, he did not know where they went.

But…

My mother should probably, be a human, right?

Instead of the Goddess of the Night.

No, wait, just in case…

Wait! How does this foreign Night Goddess speak Chinese?!

Oh yes, this is my dream, and it doesn’t seem strange that I can understand the language of God… Is this the transmission of brainwaves?

Just when Lin Qiye was thinking wildly, Nyx stood up. She opened her arms and staggered toward Lin Qiye!

She moved faster and faster, and her expression became more and more excited!

At this moment, Lin Qiye’s mind was a mess. He subconsciously opened his arms, wanting to embrace the Night Goddess!

However, the Night Goddess just ran past Lin Qiye,

She hugged Lin Qiye…

the small vase on the windowsill behind him.

Nyx hugged the vase tightly, tears streaming down her face, “My child… you are still alive. I finally found you!”

Lin Qiye: …???

Immediately afterward, Nyx’s eyes fell on the chair she had been sitting on for an unknown amount of time.

After a moment of silence, she rushed forward, hugging chairs and vases, crying again!

“Hypnos! My child, so you are here too!”

The messy Lin Qiye stood there like a statue, watching Nyx recognize the vase, the chair, the wall, and the air as his child successively, crying all over the place.

Lin Qiye: I think I probably know where her illness is…

She is seriously ill…

…

In the early morning, Lin Qiye woke up from the dream, looked at the bare ceiling, and sighed helplessly.

After spending the night with Nyx, Lin Qiye felt drained.

Just when he was about to get up, he suddenly let out a light snort.

The Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods, shrouded in mist, was floating in his mind. There seemed to be a close connection between him and the hospital.

In his current state, he did not need to fall asleep and could put his consciousness in the psychiatric hospital at any time.

Is this the benefit after opening the door… Lin Qiye tried to connect his consciousness to the psychiatric hospital, and he could immediately perceive everything that had happened there.

Of course, his consciousness could not explore those five sealed wards.

At this time, Nyx was holding a vase and a chair in the yard, talking to herself in the air next to her. He did not know what she was talking about.

Lin Qiye sat on the bed, rubbing the corners of his eyes depressedly, “Cure…I’m not a doctor. How can I help in her treatment?”

Suddenly Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up as if thinking of something.

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
