boom--!

A dull loud noise was heard from behind. The many night watchmen who were gradually moving away were stunned at the same time and looked back.

In the distant sky, a black shadow that blocked out the sun slowly rose up. From a distance, it looked like a mountain, but also like a ship… Small pieces of soil fell from the edge of the shadow. Five figures dressed in crimson stood at the edge of the shadow, seemingly busy with something.

"Is it the Nightfall team?" Someone asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

"……can't read."

“Why do I feel like they just pulled a mountain out of the ground?”

"Is it a mountain? It looks like a boat to me..."

"How can we guess what Captain Lin is thinking? Don't think too much, just do what we should do."

“…”

As everyone was discussing their doubts, the black shadow in the sky began to move slowly, flying straight to the south...

…

After a long time.

Asylum of the Gods.

Lin Qiye, wearing a white coat, sat down on a rocking chair in the middle of the courtyard, rubbing his eyes with his hands, his brows full of fatigue.

"Qi Ye?" Li Yifei just walked out from the corridor on the first floor, holding a half-finished cake in his hand, and he stood there in a daze.

"Didn't you say you were going to fight? How come you still have time to come back?"

Li Yifei walked up to Lin Qiye, looked at him carefully for a moment, and continued to ask, "You look a little bad..."

"Nothing, I just spent too much energy and felt a little tired, so I came back to rest for a while." Lin Qiye smiled bitterly, and glanced at the time on the wall. "In ten minutes, I should leave."

Li Yifei patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You, don't push yourself too hard. No matter what happens outside, as long as you come back to the hospital, I guarantee that there will be hundreds of people to serve you. You can rest as you like... By the way, are you hungry? How about a piece of cake? There's still a piece left in the kitchen!"

"Forget it, I have no appetite."

Lin Qiye finished speaking, then suddenly realized something and asked in confusion, "Cake?"

"Yes." Li Yifei scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Well... today is my birthday, so I thought of asking the kitchen to make a super-large cake and share some with the caregivers, King Jiji and the repeater uncle. Didn't you say before that there was a war outside and you were too busy? So I didn't tell you..."

Lin Qiye looked at Li Yifei with a complicated expression:

"I'm sorry, there's been a lot going on outside lately... You said there was some cake left? Give me another piece."

Hearing this, Li Yifei's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Okay, wait here for a while."

Li Yifei turned and ran to the kitchen, and came out a moment later holding a large piece of cake.

"These 'mysterious' ones haven't cooked much before. I just happened to learn a little bit when I was working in a cake shop. I taught them how to make it together... The conditions in this hospital are limited, so I can only make it like this. You can try it."

Lin Qiye took the cake and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It’s called a cake, but in fact it looks more like a piece of tight bread, covered with a layer of dark yellow cream, and some parts are a little burnt... It’s the kind of cake that would have the boss deduct money from your salary if it was placed in a cake shop.

Lin Qiye was not picky. He simply picked up the spoon, scooped a big mouthful and put it into his mouth.

He raised his eyebrows, "It tastes okay..."

The appearance and taste are very good.

"Really? I told you I still have talent in this area!" Li Yifei grinned.

While eating, Lin Qiye asked, "It's your birthday. Have you lit the candles and made a wish?"

"There are no candles here, but I asked Hongyan to blow some fire on me, so I guess that's a good idea."

"What wish?"

Li Yifei was about to speak, but as if he had thought of something, he said with some embarrassment, "Well... my grandma said that if you tell your wish out loud, it won't work."

"That's hard to say." Lin Qiye said with a smile, "What if I can fulfill the wish you made?"

Li Yifei thought about it carefully, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Indeed, if it were you, it might really work.

Actually, my wish is very simple. I just want to leave here one day and live a normal life... Let alone other things, I haven't finished high school yet! Even if I take the college entrance examination, I may not be admitted... But it would be good to go to a junior college. I also want to experience the free life of a university. It would be even better if I could have a relationship...

Of course, I'm not saying I don't like it here. It's pretty cool to be a head nurse here. I can talk to the Great Sage and play chess with the Holy Lord. Hehe, if I tell others about it, no one will believe it..."

Li Yifei said this half-jokingly, but the spoon in Lin Qiye's hand paused in the air.

He looked at Li Yifei's high spirits and felt a little complicated.

Li Yifei was the first nurse he recruited into the hospital and the person he trusted most in the hospital. He had helped him run the hospital for several years and nothing had ever gone wrong... But to him, wasn't this place also a prison?

What if I have so many caregivers under my command? What if I can see the famous gods in mythology at any time?

You know, Li Yifei's personality is just that of an ordinary high school student... After coming here, the ordinary life that was originally within his reach suddenly became a dream. Doesn't he want to buy a decent cake in a cake shop, get together with a few friends, and celebrate his birthday?

"Li Yifei." Lin Qiye was silent for a long time, then he said seriously, "Once I finish my business here, I will find a way to get you out of here completely and resume your life as an ordinary person..."

"Well, I just said it casually, don't take it too seriously." Li Yifei smiled even more. "Besides, if I leave, who will take care of this hospital for you? I don't feel at ease leaving it in the hands of those idiots."

"Anyway, happy birthday to you." Lin Qiye picked up the cake in his hand and gently touched it with Li Yifei's.

Li Yifei seemed to remember something, took out a few pages of paper from his arms and handed them to Lin Qiye.

"By the way, Qiye, this is the chess record between Yelande and I during this period... This guy's cheating is getting more and more rampant. With this move, he doesn't give me many places to make moves." Li Yifei couldn't help but complain.

Lin Qiye took the chess record and read it carefully. Every time Yelan made a move, he would place more black pieces than the previous time. So far, the pieces have occupied nearly four-fifths of the board, but the positions of the pieces have not changed.

"What exactly does he want to convey to me..." Lin Qiye looked at the chess records, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
