Chapter 272 His World



The dark clouds that shrouded the top of Cangnan City gradually dissipated, and mottled sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the empty and bare earth.

A day ago, there was a city here.

Now, apart from a few lonely high-rise buildings and scattered roads, there is only endless desolation.

Sitting on a three-story building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Cangnan City. Helpless children and outsiders are scattered in the corners of the city, relying on each other and comforting each other.

Even though they were all strangers a day ago, now they all have a common name... survivors.

The Heping Bridge, which was once bustling, now has only a few old shops left. The Heping Office sits alone at the bridge head, and at the top of it, there is a figure sitting.

Wu Xiangnan sat alone on the roof, gazing into the distance. On the other side of the horizon, a large number of military vehicles were approaching rapidly, raising clouds of dust.

Those are the Night Watch logistics team responsible for receiving survivors and rebuilding the city.

Wu Xiangnan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and walked downstairs.

In the office, everyone from the Phoenix team was sitting at the table. Hongying and Wen Qimo were sitting on the sofa absent-mindedly, looking towards the room from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, a figure in a white coat walked out of the room.

"Doctor, how is he?" Hongying stood up and asked anxiously.

Everyone in the [Phoenix] team also stood up. Xia Simeng glanced into the room and saw a faint golden light coming from inside. Worry appeared in his eyes.

"Not good." The doctor shook his head. "When his soul suffered great damage, his emotions were too... extreme. Under such pain, his consciousness automatically rejected all the realities that had happened. He built another world in his mind and hid himself in it.

Although the pain in his body and soul has disappeared, his mind has not yet recovered from it..."

The doctor looked into the room and sighed, "Even though he has awakened from a physiological point of view, his consciousness has not returned. Instead, it is stuck in the spiritual world he has constructed. Moreover, his body is subconsciously activating the [Mortal God Realm] to restore everything around him to the appearance of his spiritual world."

After hearing what the doctor said, Wen Qimo's face changed slightly, "So..."

"It can be basically confirmed that he is mentally ill, and his [Mortal God Realm] is also on the verge of losing control. If his emotions change again, he is likely to go berserk."

The doctor spoke in a serious tone, "According to the Night Watchman's regulations, Lin Qiye has now become an extremely unstable and dangerous person. He must be escorted to the fasting center for custody until his mental state recovers."

"Fasting Center?" Wu Xiangnan frowned when he heard these three words and said, "Isn't that a prison for imprisoned guilty superpowers? Lin Qiye didn't commit any crime, why was he sent to the fasting center?!"

"Deputy Captain Wu, you don't know this." Kong Shang of the Phoenix team spoke at the right time, "The fasting center is not a prison, or rather... not completely a prison. It is just a place that can effectively suppress the forbidden ruins. It is mainly used to accommodate the owners of the forbidden ruins who may cause large-scale negative impacts on the outside world. Criminals are only the vast majority of them.

In addition to the prison, there is also a hospital deep inside it that is specially used to treat mentally ill owners of the Forbidden City, code-named Sunshine.

"That's right. Lin Qiye is the agent of the Seraph. His [Mortal God Realm] is too powerful. Once it goes berserk, the consequences will be disastrous. Only the fasting center can suppress his God Ruins and facilitate treatment." The doctor explained on the side, "Also, Dr. Li is in charge there. He is the top psychiatrist in the whole of Daxia. He is the best candidate to treat Lin Qiye."

After hearing these words, Wu Xiangnan's complexion finally improved. He glanced at the room where Lin Qiye was and closed his eyes helplessly.

"I have already reported Lin Qiye's condition to the higher-ups, and a transfer order will be issued soon." The doctor spoke again.

At this moment, Hongying's eyes were red, and she timidly said: "Can I...can I go in and see him?"

The doctor frowned slightly, "He is unconscious now, and his mental state is very unstable. It is dangerous to get close to him."

"I, I just want to take a look... just a look from a distance." Hongying said in an almost pleading tone.

The doctor hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Okay... but don't do anything that might irritate him, otherwise once the [Mortal Realm] goes berserk, it will be dangerous."

Hongying nodded repeatedly. She tiptoed to Lin Qiye's door and pushed it open carefully.

The originally spacious and bright basement room had disappeared, replaced by a small, old bedroom.

As soon as she walked into the room, a faint scent of wood hit her in the face. Hongying's feet stepped on the old wooden floor, making a slight creaking sound.

A small hard bed, a moldy desk, and a black-haired boy sitting on the clean and tidy sheets. He turned his head to look at the small window beside him, and the yellowed curtains swayed gently in the wind.

This room originally had no windows.

This is not an office... this is Lin Qiye’s home.

Hongying walked gently to Lin Qiye's side, looked into those calm and turbid eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and sat on the other side of the bed.

"Qiye, Qiye..." Hongying opened her red lips slightly and called Lin Qiye's name softly.

Lin Qiye stared blankly out the window, unaware of anything.

"Old Zhao is dead, the captain is gone, Xiaonan is gone, Leng Xuan is gone too... now you want to leave here too, leave me..." Hongying's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, she lowered her head to look at her toes, her body trembling slightly,

"Tell me, when can we meet again..."

"If this city, everything, is just a dream... when the dream is over, will everyone come back?"

"We have agreed that we will get drunk together again next New Year's Eve... You guys, you won't lie to me, right?"

Hongying turned her head to look at Lin Qiye lying beside the bed. Tears ran down her cheeks, dripped onto the sheets beneath her, and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qiye looked out the window, silent as a sculpture.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside, blowing in a green flower from somewhere, brushing his cheek and falling in front of Hongying.

Hongying stared at the scene in a daze, stretched out her hand, and picked up the flower from the box.

It was a green red spider lily.

In a trance, Hongying seemed to remember something. She looked up at Lin Qiye, and a smile appeared on her tear-stained face.

"No matter what the future holds, I'll be waiting for you..."
