Chapter 11 Opening the Door
Lin Qiye was truly tired.
Both mentally and physically.
He really didn’t expect this to happen on his first day of transferring over, meeting monsters, being betrayed by classmates, thrilling fights, inexplicably opening his eyes, and inexplicably jumping out of a superhuman uncle and sneaking away ……
Lin Qiye wasn’t stupid, he knew that his experience tonight definitely involved the hidden side of this world, the monster that ate people’s faces, the golden light that came out of his own body, and the man who single-handedly fucked over the monster.
That man was not an ordinary person, and judging from the fact that he used the walkie-talkie to report back, there was bound to be a huge organization behind him, and this organization was probably hidden in the world, specializing in responding to this kind of bizarre events.
He saw the light on his body, and maybe even saw the image of his single monster kill, so he wanted to pull himself into the gang ……
To say that he wasn’t curious about the hidden side at all would be a lie, he wanted to know exactly what he had encountered tonight, and he also wanted to know exactly what had happened to him in his own body, but he didn’t want to get involved in this vortex because of his curiosity.
There were some hidden secrets that, once known, could never be gotten out of.
He did not want to be what guardian of human heroes, he wanted to guard ……
Only this home of his own.
Soon, he sank into dreamland.
The familiar mists descended once again.
Lin Qiye in the dream world looked around and sighed helplessly, ”Still won’t let me go? Waking up to fight monsters and falling asleep to come knocking on the door, bitter fate ah ……”
Lin Qiye took two light steps and soon, the outline of a mental hospital appeared before his eyes.
On the ancient plaque on the right hand side, a line of big words was engraved.Gods Mental Hospital.
Lin Qiye walked to the front door and stood in front of it, behind his back, he grabbed at the ring in front of the door, and right at the moment his fingertips touched the ring, the entire ground shook slightly!
The surrounding mists suddenly tumbled.
Lin Qiye grabbed the circle with a confused look on his face.
What the hell? I haven’t even knocked it yet, why did it start shaking?
It wasn’t like this before ah?
Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind like lightning.
Could it be because …… he opened his eyes today?
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked at this body in his dream world, his eyes gradually brightening up.
In the past, Lin Qiye’s body in the dream realm was translucent and as fragile as a wandering mist.
But today, his body had clearly solidified quite a bit, and although it was still not solid, it was no longer transparent.
He raised his head violently and looked at the door in front of him that had been blocking him for five years, his gaze blazing more and more.
Today …… it might work!
He took a deep breath, clutched the ring in his hand, and slammed it hard against the door!
”Clang-!”
The ancient sound of a bell came from within the asylum, several times louder than before, it was good that the current Lin Qiye didn’t have a body, or else his eardrums would surely be shaken raw.
The moment the bell rang, the entire asylum shook violently once again!
There was drama! Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up.
”Clang–!”
”Clang–!!!”
”Clang–!!!”
Lin Qiye didn’t stop and knocked three more times consecutively, and the mental hospital shook as if it was an earthquake!
Finally, after the last knock, there was a loud bang inside the mental hospital before everything fell silent again ……
Just as Lin Qiye was planning to knock again, the door in front of him made a dull creaking sound and slowly moved.
The door, opened.
”Buzz-dong!”
After the door was completely open, an ancient and dimly lit long corridor was revealed in front of Lin Qiye.
The floor of the long corridor was made up of some unknown material that emitted a faint fluorescent light, and there were burning light balls hanging from the surrounding walls, mysterious and bizarre.
Lin Qiye walked forward along this long corridor, and soon a fork in the road appeared, and above the fork in the road there was also a road sign full of modernity hanging.
”On the left is the ward, on the right is the activity area ……,” Lin Qiye muttered as he looked at the road sign, “This arrangement, how come it’s exactly the same as the mental hospital I lived in back then?”
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and walked into the activity area first.
There weren’t many rooms in the activity area, but everything that should be there was there, a multimedia room for watching TV and movies, a lounge for chess and entertainment, a study room for reading and studying …… There was even a circular open lawn in the interior of the building, with all shapes and colors of sports equipment on it.
”Sure enough it’s exactly the same, what an odd dream.” Lin Qiye frowned and shook his head in confusion.
After strolling through the activity area, he turned back towards the ward area on the other side.
When he reached the entrance to the ward area, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped in his tracks.
”It’s …… different here.” Lin Qiye muttered as he looked at the dark and monotonous one long corridor in front of him.
He clearly remembered that when he was originally in the Sunshine Mental Hospital, the wards had several floors, and the facilities weren’t too advanced, but they were at least clean and tidy.
However, this ward area before Lin Qiye’s eyes only had one floor, and there were only six rooms.
The doors of these six rooms were painted with strange symbols and shapes, densely packed like some sort of seal, making Lin Qiye dizzy just by looking at them.
Lin Qiye forced his gaze away from the doors, stabilized his mind, and looked elsewhere.
On the upper right side of the ward, there was an ancient door plate hanging, and each room door plate had a pattern that varied.
For example, in ward number one, where Lin Qiye was currently standing, a large black circle was drawn on the door plate.
On the other hand, the door plate of ward number two had something that looked like a staff or a pen drawn on it.
Lin Qiye followed the long corridor inward until the sixth ward at the end, looking at these door signs still didn’t have a clue.
He looked at the bizarre room doors in front of him and fell into deep thought.
In this mental hospital in the dream world, only the ward area was different from the Sunshine Mental Hospital he remembered.
Then, were there really patients living within these wards?
Or maybe it was really as the name of this mental hospital said, the …… people living inside were gods?
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and slowly reached his hand towards the door handle of the sixth ward.
It wasn’t that Lin Qiye was reckless, on the one hand, this was his dream world, even if something went wrong, it wouldn’t affect him too much; on the other hand, in order to enter this mental hospital, he had knocked on the door day after day for five years, he didn’t want to leave just like that, head over heels.
And in his subconscious mind, he felt that perhaps in this mental hospital, there existed some other secrets related to himself?
Otherwise, why was the layout of this place exactly the same as the Sunshine Asylum he had lived in?
Lin Qiye’s hand gradually approached, his fingertips gently touched the door handle, and a slightly cool touch passed through.
There was no imagined repulsion or sting, the hand just naturally gripped on top of the handle.
Lin Qiye gave a hard tug!
The door of the room did not move.
He stood still, used all his strength, and tugged again!
It still didn’t move.
Lin Qiye gave up on this room door, turned to the door of the fifth ward, and yanked on the door.
It still wouldn’t open.
Fourth room, third room, second room ……
Lin Qiye tried one by one, none of the doors were able to open until finally, he walked to the door of the first ward.
Holding the mentality that he was bound to fail, Lin Qiye yanked hard on the door of the first ward.
”Click-!”
A soft sound came from the doorknob, and the complex patterns and motifs engraved on the door of the room suddenly snapped before gradually dissipating into the air.
Lin Qiye was startled and took several steps back, staring dead ahead!
The door, opened.
