Lin Qiye was really tired.
Both mentally and physically.
He really didn't expect that something like this would happen on his first day when he transferred to another school. He met a monster, was betrayed by his classmates, had a thrilling fight, opened his eyes inexplicably, and then a superhuman uncle jumped out of nowhere and sneaked away...
Lin Qiye was not stupid. He knew that his experience tonight definitely involved the hidden side of the world, the monster that eats human faces, the golden light coming from his body, and the man who single-handedly defeated the monster.
That man is not an ordinary person and judging from his report through the walkie-talkie, there must be a huge organization behind him, and this organization may be hidden in the world and specially deal with such strange events.
He saw the light in himself, and maybe even saw the picture of himself killing monsters alone, so he wanted to recruit himself into the group...
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't curious about the hidden side at all. He wanted to know what exactly he encountered tonight and what happened to him, but he didn't want to get involved because of his curiosity. Get into this vortex.
Some secrets, once known, can never be escaped.
He doesn't want to be a hero who protects mankind, he wants to protect...
I only have this home of my own.
Soon, he fell into sleep.
…
The familiar fog descends again.
In the dream, Lin Qiye looked around and sighed helplessly, "Still unwilling to let me go? Fighting monsters when you are awake, and knocking on the door when you are asleep, what a miserable life..."
Lin Qiye took two steps with ease. Soon, the outline of a mental hospital appeared in front of him.
On the ancient plaque on the right-hand side, there is a line of large characters engraved on it.
——The Asylum of the Gods.
Lin Qiye walked to the door and stood still. He grabbed the ring in front of the door behind him. The moment his fingertips touched the ring, the whole ground shook slightly!
The surrounding fog suddenly rolled up.
Lin Qiye grabbed the ring and looked confused.
What the hell? Why did it start vibrating before I even knocked it?
Wasn't it like this before?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Could it be because... he opened his eyes today?
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked at the body in his dream, his eyes gradually brightened.
In the past, Lin Qiye's body in dreams was translucent, as fragile as a wandering mist.
But today his body is obviously much more solid. Although it is still incorporeal, it is no longer transparent.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the door in front of him that had blocked him for five years, his eyes becoming more intense.
Today... maybe it can work!
He took a deep breath, clenched the ring in his hand, and slammed against the door!
"clang--!"
The ancient bells came from the mental hospital, several times louder than before. Fortunately, Lin Qiye was not healthy now, otherwise his eardrums would have been sore from the shock.
The moment the bell rang, the entire mental hospital shook violently again!
There's drama! Lin Qiye's eyes lit up.
"clang--!"
"clang--!!"
"clang--!!!"
Lin Qiye didn't stop and knocked three times in a row. The mental hospital shook like an earthquake!
Finally, after the last knock, there was a loud bang in the mental hospital, and then everything fell silent again...
Just when Lin Qiye was about to knock again, the door in front of him made a dull creaking sound and moved slowly.
The door is open.
"Buzz-boom!"
After the door was fully opened, an ancient and dim corridor was revealed in front of Lin Qiye.
The floor of the corridor is made of an unknown material, exuding a faint fluorescent light, and there are burning light groups hanging on the surrounding walls, which are mysterious and strange.
Lin Qiye walked along this corridor, and soon there was a fork in the road, and there was a modern road sign hanging above the fork.
"The ward is on the left, and the activity area is on the right..." Lin Qiye looked at the street sign and muttered to himself, "How come this layout is exactly the same as the mental hospital I stayed in back then?"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and walked into the activity area first.
There are not many rooms in the activity area, but there are all that should be there, such as a multimedia room for watching TV and movies, a lounge for playing chess and entertainment, and a study room for reading and studying... There is even a circular shape inside the building. There is an open-air lawn with all kinds of sports equipment placed on it.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same. This dream is really weird." Lin Qiye frowned and shook his head in confusion.
After visiting the activity area, he turned back and walked to the ward area on the other side.
When he reached the door of the ward area, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped.
"It's... different here." Lin Qiye muttered to himself as he looked at the dark and monotonous corridor in front of him.
He clearly remembered that when he was in Sunshine Mental Hospital, the wards had several floors, and although the facilities were not too high-end, they were at least clean and tidy.
However, the ward area in front of Lin Qiye only had one floor and six rooms.
The doors of these six rooms were covered with strange symbols and graphics, which were densely packed, like some kind of seals. Just looking at them made Lin Qiye dizzy.
Lin Qiye forcibly moved his eyes away from the door, stabilized his mind, and looked away.
On the upper right side of the ward, there is an ancient door plate hanging. Each room has a different pattern on the door plate.
For example, in Ward No. 1 where Lin Qiye is standing now, there is a big black circle painted on the door number.
On the door number of Ward No. 2, there is something like a stick and a pen painted on it.
Lin Qiye walked along the corridor until he reached the sixth ward. Looking at the door numbers, he still had no clue.
He looked at the strange door in front of him and fell into deep thought.
In the mental hospital in the dream, only the ward area was different from the Sunshine Mental Hospital in his memory.
So, are there really patients living in these wards?
Or is it true, as the name of this mental hospital says, that the person living in it... is a god?
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached for the door handle of the sixth ward.
It's not that Lin Qiye is reckless. On the one hand, this is his dream, and even if something goes wrong, it won't have much impact on him. On the other hand, to enter this mental hospital, he knocks five keys day after day. Nian's door, he didn't want to leave in such a confused state.
And in his subconscious, he felt that maybe there were some secrets related to him in this mental hospital.
Otherwise, why would the layout here be exactly the same as the Sunshine Mental Hospital where I lived?
Lin Qiye's hand gradually came closer, and his fingertips lightly touched the door handle, and a slightly cool feeling came from it.
There was no repulsion or sting as expected, and the hand just grasped the handle naturally.
Lin Qiye pulled hard!
The door didn't move at all.
He stood still, pulled with all his strength, and pulled again!
Still not moving.
Lin Qiye gave up on this room door, walked to the door of the fifth ward, and pulled the door hard.
Still can't open it.
The fourth room, the third room, the second room...
Lin Qiye tried one by one, but none of the doors could be opened, until finally, he reached the door of the first ward.
With the mentality of certain failure, Lin Qiye tugged hard on the door of the first ward.
"Crack——!"
A soft sound came from the door handle, and the complex lines and patterns engraved on the door suddenly broke, and then gradually dissipated into the air.
Lin Qiye was startled and took a few steps back, staring straight ahead!
The door is open.
