Lin Qiye, wearing a white coat, had just walked out of the corridor when a figure came towards him.

Nix was wearing a star-shaped gauze dress and walking slowly towards them. Even with black wool and knitting needles in her arms, she couldn't hide the noble temperament that emanated from her bones. When she saw Lin Qiye, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Good morning, mother." Lin Qiye greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, I was looking for you, Thanatos."

"What happened?" Lin Qiye was stunned.

"Come with me, you'll know soon." Nix smiled gently and took Lin Qiye to the other side of the corridor.

Lin Qiye, who was about to go underground to interrogate the [Secret Peeper], hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward and followed. The two walked up the stairs and went straight into Nyx's ward.

Nyx walked into the room, placed the knitting needles in her hand on the table, then unfolded the ball of black wool and shook it in the sunlight.

It was not until this moment that Lin Qiye could see the entire ball of wool.

It was a black knitted coat.

A long time ago, Nyx basically stopped talking to bottles and jars, and stopped sitting alone in a rocking chair. About last year, she had a ball of black wool in her hand...

Every day, she sat in the yard, basking in the sun and knitting sweaters.

Like a leisurely lady.

Lin Qiye initially thought that she was just looking for something to kill time, until this coat appeared before his eyes, and he was stunned where he was.

"Is this... for me?" Lin Qiye looked up at Nyx when he saw the familiar size.

Nyx smiled slightly. She held up the shoulder seam of her coat and pressed it against Lin Qiye's body, comparing it carefully with his figure.

"Yes." Nyx replied with a smile, "Isn't it natural for a mother to knit clothes for her child?"

Lin Qiye stared at Nix in a daze for a long while, then looked down at the knitted coat in front of him, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

The last person who knitted clothes for him was his aunt.

It was probably when he was seven or eight years old, because his aunt had just divorced. In order to support him and A Jin, his aunt could be said to have taken the word "thrifty" to the extreme. Every winter, after the two of them fell asleep, his aunt would sit by the window and knit clothes bit by bit in the dim light.

Although the clothes can’t be said to be very good-looking, they are very comfortable to wear and make people feel inexplicably at ease.

Lin Qiye had never seen his mother and didn't know what she looked like. All his knowledge of maternal love came from his aunt.

But now, he once again felt the familiar and intoxicating warmth from the woman with a gentle smile in front of him.

"The size is perfect. Next, it's time to close the stitches." Nyx nodded with satisfaction, folded the knitted coat and put it aside.

"Thank you, mother." Lin Qiye said sincerely.

"No need to thank you, Danados. You are my child. I have said that I am willing to do anything for you." Nyx said gently, "Or, if you have time, can you stay and have lunch together?"

Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, "Maybe not today, I have an important assessment later..."

"It's okay, we'll do it next time." Nyx smiled, "Go and do your own thing. I don't think you came back just to take a walk, right?"

Lin Qiye scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Then I'll get busy first."

He turned and left Ward No. 1 and walked straight towards the dean's office.

Nyx stood alone in the corridor, watching Lin Qiye's departing back and sighed softly.

"Why don't you just tell him and ask him to stay with you for a while?"

Merlin held the thermos cup, leaned against the door of the study, and spoke calmly.

Nyx shook her head. "He has his own things to do. I can't keep him tied to me forever."

"But you don't have much time left." Merlin glanced at him, his eyes emitting a mysterious light, "You can't hold it back any longer, right?"

Nyx, wearing a star gauze dress, stood quietly there, silent.

"You have been able to suppress it until now, which is already amazing. You deserve to be one of the Indian gods of creation." Merlin paused, "However, you wove some of your divine power into clothes for him, which would damage your soul. When you rebuild your divine body, you won't be able to recover to your peak state."

"I don't care."

Nyx spoke slowly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Then, her expression gradually became firm.

"He is the only child I have left."

She turned around and looked at Merlin, "Don't forget the agreement between us."

Merlin sighed, touched his thinning hair, and muttered to himself, "I have been maintaining it for so long, but it will be wasted..."

…

Lin Qiye, wearing black-framed glasses, walked through one dark and cramped cell after another, and finally stopped in front of a cell.

In the cell, a dark shadow was standing quietly in the center of the cell, with a red eye raised above its head, staring at Lin Qiye outside the cage, with a smile in its eyes.

It bent slightly, placed its right hand on its chest, and saluted respectfully.

"Dean Lin, you finally came to see me."

Hearing this address, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, "You have known about the existence of this place for a long time, and you are also very clear that your soul will come here after being killed by me... That's why you didn't hesitate to hide in the world for twelve years, but happened to appear at this time.

Your goal is here...right?"

"Sure enough, no secret can escape your eyes." The red-eyed black shadow did not deny it.

"How did you know this place?"

Lin Qiye stared at the red-eyed black shadow with a serious expression.

The existence of the Gods Mental Hospital has always been his secret, and he has never told anyone. If so, how did it know about its existence?

It even knew that its soul would come here after it was killed... If it had not been discovered by accident, even Lin Qiye, who had just taken control of the hospital, would not have known this.

The most important thing is that twelve years ago, Lin Qiye was not even chosen by the Seraphim, and the Hospital of the Gods did not appear in his mind. He was just an ordinary elementary school student back then.

Did it already know all this at that time?

"All my actions are guided by a great being." The red-eyed black shadow said respectfully, "Before I came into this world, He had already arranged everything. I just need to follow His guidance and do what I should do."

"Who is He?"
