The familiar progress bar panel flashed above Lin Qiye's head, and like a screen with poor contact, it disappeared in an instant.
But Lin Qiye knew clearly what he had seen.
The hospital's treatment progress bar?
Why does a progress bar appear above my head? !
Lin Qiye couldn’t understand. The progress bar that flashed by was like a sledgehammer hitting his mind, turning his entire thoughts into a mess.
He has a progress bar on his treatment... So what is he, anyway? A patient?
How is that possible? If he was a patient, why wasn't he in the hospital? He remembered very clearly that he had been adopted and raised by his aunt's family since he was seven or eight years old. Yang Jian could also prove this. Although his memory before that was a little vague, he had never been to a hospital ward.
Moreover, if he was a patient in the sixth ward, how did he get out? How could he move freely outside?
No, Chaos seems to be able to enter and leave the hospital freely when the treatment progress is only 1%...
But no matter what, Lin Qiye firmly believed that he was not a mental patient. He had no memory of this, and the hospital was no longer in his hands. How could the treatment progress bar pop up inexplicably?
Could it be that something unexpected happened in the hospital itself?
Lin Qiye stood in the bathroom like a sculpture for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and looked down at his palms.
"Could it be you..." Lin Qiye murmured to himself.
In Lin Qiye's mind, the face of the little boy who looked almost exactly like himself and whom he met every time he was on the verge of death emerged... His existence was like a mystery. Lin Qiye thought it was just an illusion when he was on the verge of death, but after experiencing the [Chaos] incident, he knew that the little boy was real.
If the progress bar is real, then what it points to is most likely not oneself... but the mysterious boy inside the body.
Is he the real sixth patient in the hospital?
Complex thoughts surged in Lin Qiye's mind. He wanted to jump into the sea and commit suicide immediately, and then go see the little boy to ask him for clarification, but in the end he resisted the urge.
Not to mention whether he would jump into the sea and drown in his current physical state, even if he really died, wouldn’t it be a huge loss if he never saw the boy?
Lin Qiye hesitated for a long time, but finally sighed and walked out of the bathroom.
Just then, a figure almost ran into him head-on.
"Black Spring?"
"Brother Qiye, I'm looking for you." Wuquan pointed in the direction of the nail plate, "We're almost there."
Lin Qiye hummed, wiped the remaining water stains on his face, and walked straight to the cab.
Just as Wuquan said, in the hazy fog, the outline of the land was looming, countless ship wreckages were floating on the edge of the coastline, and a wide river channel extended straight into the depths of the land.
"We will be near London in at most one hour." Shen Qingzhu said, steering with one hand.
"Can the ship go directly in?"
"Can."
The exploration ship gradually moved forward along the river. The dead silent night was buried in the gray fog. With the help of the light from the ship, one could just barely make out the remains of the city on both sides of the river. It was like a mausoleum that had stood in the fog for countless years.
Faintly, a huge shadow across the river appeared in everyone's sight.
"Thames Bridge." Lin Qiye's eyes moved away from the map and looked around at the silent ruins. "It seems that we have arrived..."
"Didn't they say there were humans living here? Why is there no trace at all?" Wu Quan asked puzzledly.
“Maybe they don’t live on the surface at all. Although these fogs have weakened a lot compared to a hundred years ago, they are still deadly to ordinary people.” Lin Qiye explained.
"Then how should we find it? London is quite a big place."
Lin Qiye looked at the map in his hand and sighed helplessly.
It’s a pity that he can’t summon Wangcai now, otherwise he could call out Bell Cland and let it lead the way, which would save a lot of trouble.
"Stop the boat and let's go ashore first."
Under the control of Shen Qingzhu, the exploration ship gradually approached the shore. The four of them stepped onto the ruins and walked forward along the rugged road.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qiye stopped in a relatively wide open space.
"Aren't we going to look for it anymore?" Wu Quan asked.
"It's too troublesome to find them. Since the Holy Inquisition Knights are in London, why not let them come to us on their own initiative..."
Under the crimson cloak, Lin Qiye's fists gradually clenched, crackling sounds came from the bones in his body, and his aura soared rapidly!
Seeing this scene, Shen Qingzhu's face changed, as if he had thought of something, and he pulled Wuquan back silently several hundred meters.
Lin Qiye took a half step back and raised his right fist high. This one action alone created a gust of whistling wind that made his cloak rustle!
The next moment, the fist cut through the void, stirring the air into a twisted vortex, and slammed down to the ground!
Boom——!!!!
Thunder roared across the ruins, and the entire city of London trembled violently. A visible ripple of power swept across dozens of kilometers, completely destroying the outlines of the remaining buildings around the four people.
Wu Quan only felt a flash before his eyes, and a hurricane was sweeping his body, about to fly into the air. He had to use the power of [Emperor of Domination] to forcibly control his body to keep steady on the ground.
"Isn't this scene... too exaggerated?" Wu Quan covered his eyes with his arms and couldn't help but speak.
"What are you afraid of?" Shen Qingzhu said calmly, "Even if the Supreme God comes today, he can't do anything to us."
The domineering tone revealed in Shen Qingzhu's words made Wuquan feel happy... As expected, Brother Qingzhu is still Brother Qingzhu. Even if he looks a little restrained on the outside, he is still very sharp on the inside.
But what Shen Qingzhu said was also true. With just him, Lin Qiye, and No. 27 together, they could escape unscathed even when facing a supreme encirclement. As for the main god... they would kill one by one.
In the rolling smoke and dust, the crimson figure slowly stood up, looking into the distance.
Buzz——!!
A low roar came from a distance, like the growl of a wild beast, approaching here rapidly.
"They are coming." Lin Qiye said calmly.
The smoke and dust covering the earth gradually dissipated, and more than ten dazzling white lights cut through the night, blinding people. At the end of the rugged road, a team of heavy motorcycles was roaring towards them.
The low-slung vehicles fly close to the ground, and their linear appearance is elegant yet fierce. On these motorcycles are white figures wearing heavy armor. The surface of these armors has faint halo patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Hmm?" The moment No. 27 saw these armors, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Knight, so you're riding a motorcycle?" Wu Quan raised his eyebrows.
"It's foggy here, and horses with flesh and blood can't survive. The only thing they can ride is motorcycles." Shen Qingzhu slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, watching the motorcycles gradually stop, and couldn't help but praise them.
"Don't mention it, he's quite handsome."
