Chapter 1591: Fate's Touch with the Asylum
"Name?"
"..."
"Name?"
"His name is Lin Qiye."
"I know his name is Lin Qiye!"
In the empty consultation room, Doctor Li glared at Wu Quan beside him. "I'm checking whether his consciousness is clear. This is already the second time he's been a patient in my hospital. His name is Lin Qiye—do I need you to remind me?"
Wu Quan冷哼一声, turned his head away, his gaze somewhat resentful.
Doctor Li looked back at Lin Qiye, who sat motionless on the opposite seat. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke again: "Since you don't want to answer... let's skip the preliminary questions. Lin Qiye, during the time your soul was separated from your body and you were unconscious, what did you see?"
Lin Qiye kept his head down, still silent, his eyes somewhat hollow.
Seeing this, Doctor Li无奈地摇了摇头, stood up from his seat.
"Wu Quan, help him up and follow me to the psychiatric radiology department. He needs a systematic examination."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"You volunteered to be my assistant. Of course you do the work. If you want to back out, go back to your cell and stay in solitary confinement."
Wu Quan sighed heavily, stood up obediently, and reached out to support Lin Qiye.
But before his hand could touch Lin Qiye's body, the latter stood up on his own and followed Doctor Li in silence toward the psychiatric radiology department.
Wu Quan stood frozen in place.
"Doctor Li..."
Wu Quan was about to say something when Doctor Li turned around, saw this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head at Wu Quan, signaling him not to make a sound.
Then Doctor Li led the puppet-like walking Lin Qiye into the psychiatric radiology department.
...
One hour later.
"Doctor Li, how is he?" Upon seeing Doctor Li push the wheelchair out of the hospital, Zuo Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and asked with concern.
Doctor Li sighed. "It's about what we expected. His soul, during the most vulnerable period of separation from his body, endured a severe impact from the 'Heart's Calamity.' His consciousness entered a state of confusion... It seems he can hear us talking and can understand part of what we say, but his subjective agency is extremely low.
When ordinary people receive a strong emotional shock, like the death of a close family member or a career setback, they easily enter a state of mental confusion, dazed and confused. His situation is similar to this, except that his originally detached soul amplified this pain a hundredfold."
"Is there a way to treat it?"
"If it were a purely mental illness, I would have methods, but the 'Heart's Calamity' cannot be influenced by external forces... Whether he can take that step forward depends entirely on himself."
Upon hearing this answer, Zuo Qing's expression showed some disappointment, but he had also prepared himself mentally. After all, even the Heavenly Lord was powerless against Lin Qiye's condition. In the end, this was merely Lin Qiye's "Heart's Calamity," and no one could intervene.
"Then let him recuperate here for the time being." Zuo Qing could only accept reality. "If his condition improves, contact me immediately."
"Alright."
Doctor Li and Wu Quan stood in front of the hospital, watching Zuo Qing's aircraft roar away from the Purification Chamber and disappear into the horizon.
Doctor Li glanced down at Lin Qiye, who sat wordlessly in the wheelchair, and无奈地笑了笑.
"Few people come to my hospital as patients twice... Perhaps you are destined to be connected to a mental hospital?"
"That doesn't sound like a compliment." Wu Quan幽幽地开口.
"..."
Doctor Li glanced at Wu Quan and slowly said, "恰好, you just became a medical assistant and haven't done anything yet... During this time, you'll be responsible for taking care of him.
Besides preparing his three daily meals and morning/evening care, spend five hours each day taking him out for walks and cheering him up. Talk to him more. These external positive interactions might help him emerge from the shadow of the 'Heart's Calamity' faster."
"Me? Take care of him?" Wu Quan皱眉 looked at Lin Qiye.
"If you don't want to do it, that's fine. There are plenty of people who can be transferred here as medical assistants in the Purification Chamber anyway..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Quan hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and nodded:
"Fine, I'll do it!"
"If you're going to do it, do it properly. If I find out you've been negligent in your care, from now on you'll never come to the hospital again, understand?" Doctor Li拍了拍 Wu Quan's shoulder and turned to walk into the hospital.
In front of the empty hospital, only Lin Qiye and Wu Quan remained. The latter took a deep breath, then gripped the wheelchair's handles and pushed Lin Qiye slowly toward the distance.
...
"Hey, can you really not hear me?"
Bright sunlight fell on the emerald green lawn, dew drops glinting with a hint of crystal. Wu Quan pushed the wheelchair-bound Lin Qiye forward slowly.
Lin Qiye kept his head down, as if he hadn't heard Wu Quan's questions.
Seeing Lin Qiye's reaction, Wu Quan's expression relaxed somewhat. In any case, taking care of an unconscious Lin Qiye was much better than facing a conscious one... He would never forget the scene of Lin Qiye personally grabbing him and sending him into the Purification Chamber.
"I heard about your situation from the conversations between Commander Zuo and Doctor Li." Wu Quan，一边走一边喃喃自语, "People are always fragile... In just one day, you witnessed the deaths of two teammates. I can somewhat understand your mood.
When that fire killed Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng back then, I was about the same as you are now. I didn't want to accept reality either, my mind went blank... But I forced myself to清醒过来 pretty quickly. Do you know why?"
Wu Quan knew Lin Qiye wouldn't answer, so he continued speaking on his own:
"Because while they died, someone is still alive... Qingzhu-ge is the reason I kept going. For him, I had to face all of this, so I forced myself to use 【支配皇帝】 to manipulate their bodies... This was my salvation, and his.
Perhaps you also need a reason to support your recovery... a salvation."
As Wu Quan's voice fell, the wheelchair he was pushing suddenly stalled.
He looked down in confusion, only to see that the usually dazed Lin Qiye had suddenly reached out and grabbed the wheel, forcing them to a stop.
Lin Qiye wore a freshly changed blue-and-white patient gown, staring blankly into the distance, sitting motionless in the wheelchair like a sculpture.
Wu Quan followed his gaze, and confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Isn't it just a wall? What's there to look at?"
On the cliff's edge, a tall black steel wall stood imposingly, with half the sun floating above the vast sea. Golden water droplets shattered and splashed at the cliff's edge—for a moment, it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a setting sun or a rising dawn.
Wu Quan, who had been focused only on the wall, naturally didn't notice that in Lin Qiye's turbid eyes, there were four young figures on top of that wall, laughing, leaping down into the wind...
The dusky sunset sank into the sea, the sky gradually darkening. This was, after all, a sunset before night fell, not a rising dawn.
Wu Quan turned his head, about to say something else, when his entire body froze in place.
In the fading残阳之中, Lin Qiye was流下满面泪水.
