Fog.

An exploration ship sailed across the calm sea and headed straight into the depths of the fog.

Lin Qiye stood at the bow of the exploration ship. The fog rolled over his figure. The originally bright sunlight gradually dimmed. Only the lights of the exploration ship pierced through the fog and extended to the sea in the distance.

Lin Qiye was very familiar with this exploration ship. The last time they went out to sea to look for the Ark of the Covenant, they were on this ship. Later, after they returned from hell, Daxia sent people to salvage it back.

Memories surged in Lin Qiye's heart. He sighed deeply and was about to turn around when a faint light flashed past his head.

He looked up and saw nothing above him except hazy gray fog.

"Could it be that I really have some sequelae?" Lin Qiye murmured to himself in confusion.

This was his third time having hallucinations since the day before yesterday. He couldn't help but wonder if his soul and body had not fully adapted, causing his senses to become a little disordered?

Just as Lin Qiye was thinking, No. 27 slowly walked up from behind him.

"How long is left?" asked No. 27.

"We've been driving for a day and a half, we should be there soon."

No. 27 nodded, "You said before that you wanted to ask Chloe something in person. What is it?"

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "I want to know why she is in the Han Dynasty archives... and whether she is related to me, or have I met her before?"

"I can answer your first question now." No. 27 said slowly, "It's not surprising that she appears in your Han Dynasty archives, because she was a missionary of the Western Holy Church back then. She traveled around the world for the Holy Lord to spread the doctrine... Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also all over the world. Her footprints can be found."

"During the Han Dynasty, she was Yelande's agent?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

"That's right."

"But how could she live so long?"

"She made a promise with time that the years would not leave any traces on her, so she would not age naturally."

"Make a promise with time?" Lin Qiye opened his mouth in shock. "What kind of ability is this?"

"It's amazing, isn't it?" No. 27 smiled. "When I first met her, I was also shocked. She can do much more than this... Although she didn't explain her abilities to me, after traveling with her for so long, I can probably guess what she can do.

She can make a "promise" with anything in the world, and once this "promise" is established, it will definitely be fulfilled.

She once made a 'promise' with the wind, and the wind followed her around and became her eternal shelter; she made a 'promise' with fire, and fire became a weapon to kill her enemies; she made a 'promise' with the dying to see them again, and no matter how long the corpse rotted, the dead would be reborn on the day the 'promise' took effect..."

"You can even resurrect the dead?"

"That's right. So I said, as long as she uses her abilities properly, she will be the embodiment of 'omnipotence'." No. 27 paused, "Of course, all of this comes at a price."

"What is the price?"

"I have no idea."

Lin Qiye couldn't help but sigh, "What a perverted ability... Is this 001?"

"Although this ability is powerful, it is not her real strength." No. 27 said seriously, "She has a very special physique. She can gradually change the beliefs of the people around her as time goes by."

"Change your faith? What do you believe in?"

"Believe in her."

Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye was stunned.

"Wherever she stays for a long time, plants, animals, and humans will be attracted to her and become her devout believers, worshipping her as a faith and a god."

Lin Qiye opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, "No wonder he can be a missionary of the Western Holy Church... With this ability, it would be too easy for him to recruit believers for the Holy Church."

With this ability, plus the "eternal covenant" made with time, this red-haired girl is simply a faith harvesting machine. If she is given enough time, she can even turn all the lives in the world into her believers.

Whether it is the power to change beliefs or the mysterious power of "promise", it is not comparable to any forbidden ruins or divine ruins that Lin Qiye knows... Perhaps, this is why she became 001.

"So what is your relationship with her?" Lin Qiye hesitated for a long time and asked carefully.

"It's not the kind of relationship you think." No. 27 shook his head. "About seven or eight years ago, when I was walking in the fog as the God of Assassins, I accidentally met her. I was very surprised by her power. At that time, I thought that her power might be the key to saving the world."

"Save the world?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly, "Which aspect?"

No. 27 stretched out his hand and pointed at the dead sea below him, and then at the gray sky above his head. ?

Lin Qiye was stunned for a while, guessed what No. 27 meant, and said in shock, "Can this really be done?"

"I asked her too... but she just smiled and didn't answer." No. 27 sighed, "Later she invited me to go with her, saying that sooner or later, she would let me see what I wanted to see... and I agreed."

"Why does it sound so mysterious?"

"She is very mysterious, in every way..." No. 27 continued, "Because of this agreement, I traveled with her for about three years, until she suddenly disappeared five years ago, and I began to look for her all over the world."

Lin Qiye nodded. He basically understood what was going to happen next.

"I've already told you everything you want to know." No. 27 turned to look at him, "I have a question too."

"What?"

"That hospital." No. 27's eyes gradually became serious. "What is the hospital that Chaos took away from your body?"

Lin Qiye was slightly startled, and after hesitating for a long time, he simply explained the existence of the hospital, but omitted a lot of details, including the process of treating other patients and the process of extracting abilities.

After hearing this, No. 27 frowned slightly, "You mean, Chaos has been hiding in your mind disguised as a patient in Ward 7?"

"That's right."

"You just said that the further back in the ward, the weaker the divinity of the patients... Is that right?"

"Um."

No. 27 paced for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and glanced at Lin Qiye subtly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly.

"Haven't you ever thought about this?" No. 27 said slowly, "Since Chaos is hiding in the seventh ward in disguise... then where are the original patients in this ward?"

Lin Qiye was stunned. "The original patient?"

"You said that there was originally a '?' on the doorplate of that room, right?" No. 27 spread out his hands. "Doesn't this mean that there was actually a patient in this ward?"

These words sounded like thunder in Lin Qiye's ears.

The seventh ward...was there originally a patient there?

Lin Qiye had never thought of this possibility at all. The existence of [Chaos] directly misled his thoughts, making him think that the seventh ward was actually filled with [Chaos]... But in fact, after the doorplate forged by [Chaos] fell off, a pattern was indeed revealed.

Lin Qiye originally thought that the “?” meant that there were no patients, but when he thought about it carefully, if there was no seventh patient, the door number should be empty.

So where did the seventh patient in this hospital go?

Was he killed by Chaos and took over its place?

Lin Qiye's mind was blank. When he came back to his senses, No. 27 had already returned to the cabin.

Lin Qiye rubbed his swollen temples, took a long sigh, and walked out of the cabin...

No matter what the truth is, the hospital is now in the hands of Chaos. Even if he wants to find the whereabouts of the seventh patient, he no longer has the ability to do so.

Lin Qiye walked into the bathroom in the cabin, turned on the faucet, and washed his cheeks with cold water, trying to wash away those messy thoughts.

At this moment, something flashed past his head again.

Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, and this time he raised his head suddenly, but did not look at the top of his head, but looked directly at the mirror in front of him.

That was not an illusion, something really flashed past his head... and this time, Lin Qiye saw the appearance of that thing clearly.

His pupils trembled violently!
