Hearing these words, it seemed as if countless thunders were crashing into Lin Qiye’s mind!
His mind went blank.
"What do you mean?!" Lin Qiye frowned tightly, "How can there be only one soul in his body?!"
"It means exactly what it says." Shikoti said in a low voice, "A hundred years ago, Sister Eden did give her heart to Brother Braki... but it was just a heart! The heart is just an organ, and it is completely different from the soul!
Before you came, the two sisters had checked several times, and there was only his own soul in his body from the beginning to the end!
Sister Eden's soul never existed, so how could it be separated?"
Lin Qiye stood there like a sculpture.
Eden's soul... doesn't exist at all? ?
"Brother, you just said that he has been writing letters to his wife for so many years... It is indeed impossible for there to be another sister Eden in the world who knows so much about their past, but don't forget that besides sister Eden, there is another person who knows everything about their past...
It’s just him…”
Shi Koti closed her eyes helplessly and said slowly, "Maybe he has been writing letters to himself all these years, but he didn't even notice it."
Lin Qiye's face suddenly turned extremely pale!
In a trance, every conversation with Eden flashed quickly through Lin Qiye's mind.
【My name is Eden.】
[…I underestimated the power of the fog. Braki and I are not particularly powerful gods. I am in charge of the power of youth, and I can barely resist the fog with my strong vitality, but Braki can’t…]
[I gave him my heart...]
[When I gave him my heart, he was already unconscious, and I always came out after he fell asleep... He was not aware of my existence at all.]
In his mind, he quickly recalled the "Eden" who got up from bed late at night and dressed in front of the mirror in the hospital, the "Eden" who looked at Bragi in the mirror tenderly, and the "Eden" who smiled and wrote about the past with Bragi...
He was wearing a white gauze and sitting in front of a brass mirror. Under the dim candlelight, his eyes were so sad and longing.
If that wasn't Eden... then who was it?
A second personality hidden inside Braki?
If this is true, then Braki's illness was not lovesickness from the beginning... but some kind of extreme split personality? !
Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stood up from the boulder.
"No... Impossible... How is this possible?! I clearly saw Eden's youthful abilities in him..."
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that in the hospital, he saw the name "Eden" in the brackets on Braki's treatment panel. When he was drawing abilities, he even drew Eden's [Eternal Secret Garden]! ..
If Eden is fake, then where do these abilities come from?
"Is this hard to understand?" Shikoti blinked.
“The goddess of youth, Eden, gave her heart to Brother Braki. This heart has been beating in his body for hundreds of years and has long since become one with him.
Now he is not only the Nordic god of poetry and music, but also the new god of youth!
He carries the two laws of music and youth.
He... is truly two gods in one."
Lin Qiye was stunned.
Two Gods in One…?
Lin Qiye came back to his senses and immediately immersed his consciousness into the Gods' Mental Hospital in his mind!
As soon as he appeared in the courtyard, an illusory panel floated in front of him:
"Braki treatment progress: 100%"
"The treatment of Bragi, the god of poetry and music, is complete. Please leave the hospital immediately."
"The conditions for drawing rewards have been met. The random drawing of Braki's divine power will begin..."
Below these lines of text, two power dials were quietly suspended in the void.
One belongs to the god of poetry and music, and the other... belongs to the god of youth.
Lin Qiye looked at the panel several times, with disbelief in his eyes.
The name "Eden" after the brackets...disappeared?
Why?!
Is it true that Braki was the only one in Ward No. 3 of this hospital from beginning to end?
But if that is the case, why is it only the prefix "God of Poetry and Music"? What about "God of Youth"?
As if to cater to Lin Qiye's idea, the virtual panel in front of him suddenly flickered, and a line of text reappeared in front of him:
"The treatment of Braki, the God of Poetry and Music and the God of Youth, is complete. Please leave the hospital immediately."
After witnessing the changes on the panel with his own eyes, Lin Qiye was completely stunned.
It...actually changed by itself?
How is this possible? ! !
This was the first time that the hospital's instructions had changed, which completely overturned Lin Qiye's understanding... He felt that something was wrong, but he himself could not figure out where the problem lay.
Was there something wrong with the hospital itself, or was there something wrong with him?
Lin Qiye felt that his mind had become a mess and he was unable to think at all. At this moment, a dull sound came from outside.
Lin Qiye came to his senses and looked towards the dim cave.
The barrier cast by Verdandi has disappeared. She slowly walked out of the cave, holding a mysterious crystal of purple chaos in her hand. Braki followed her staggeringly as if he was drunk.
“Virdandi…you…wait for me!” Braki staggered in front of him, trying his best to open his eyes wide, with a gleam of hope burning in his eyes, “Where’s my wife? Did we succeed?!”
"...Successful." Verdandi's expression was extremely gentle. She handed the purple crystal in her hand to Braki's arms.
"Iden's soul has been stored in this crystal. As long as it is sent to the origin of Asgard for nourishment, it will slowly rebuild her body...
You will see each other soon.”
Hearing this, Bragi's eyes flashed with ecstasy. He held the crystal in his hands as if he had found a treasure and spoke softly:
"Eden...Eden? Can you hear me?"
"Her soul is in this crystal, completely isolated from the outside world. No matter what you say, she can't hear it." Verdandi said, "We will accompany you to find Thor and ask him to store the crystal in the Origin. Then you just need to stay here and wait for her return."
"Okay!" Braki turned around and said solemnly, "Thank you three goddesses!"
"Sir Verdandi!"
Lin Qiye suddenly took a step forward, looked at the tall Wei Er Dan Di, and said seriously, "I want to talk to you alone."
Verdandi narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at Shikoti who was looking down beside her, looking as if she had done something wrong, and nodded, "Okay, this way please."
Lin Qiye followed Verdandi into the depths of the forest. Only when they were completely away from Braki and the others did Lin Qiye unable to hold back and speak:
“Is it true that Braki has the only soul in his body?”
Verdandi gave him a complicated look, “It seems that Shikoti has already told you… That’s right, Eden’s soul does not exist in his body at all.
I don't know why you and he both feel that Eden is still inside him, but I can tell you for sure... it's fake, all that was just his fantasy, the acting and atonement in the deepest part of his heart.
Perhaps a hundred years ago, when Eden gave him her heart, he actually sensed everything, but he could not accept this fact, so he created another 'Eden' to deceive himself...
He deceived himself, and you."
