Chapter 1578 – His Bureau

　　Boom–!

　　With a loud bang, Lin Qiye’s figure crashed into the first floor of the sick building, slapping several walls before collapsing in the midst of the smoke and dust that filled the area.

　　Supporting his body with one hand, he slowly stood up from the rubble and looked at the bloodstains in front of him, a shocked look appearing in his eyes!

　　”How is this possible ……”

　　”Yes, yes yes …… that’s the expression! Confused, shocked, disbelieving, horrified …… It’s wonderful! It’s so wonderful!!!” [Chaos]’s voice resounded leisurely as he stepped forward and approached Lin Qiye a little bit, a bizarre madness and hideousness surfacing on top of that “kind” face!

　　”Lin Qiye, do you really consider yourself the master of this place?”

　　Lin Qiye froze in place.

　　”This sickbay didn’t belong to this world in the first place, it’s just an item that was strayed into this place …… What makes you think that you’re its owner?

　　By virtue of the white coat you picked up in the dean’s office? By the fact that you opened the door to these patients’ rooms? By the name ‘Dean’ you’ve given yourself? Or by the fact that you were the first one here? Oh no …… technically you weren’t the first here either, were you? It was that little girl named Memorial?

　　Aren’t you surprised?

　　That girl has worn a white coat; that girl has opened the ward here; and several of the patients here have interacted with her……. Why? Is it because the hospital recognized her as Lord first, and then recognized you as Lord?

　　Don’t be a fool, this sickhouse doesn’t have any masters at all! Anyone who came here could have done all of this!

　　The only reason you’ve been able to monopolize the hospital for so long is because it was hidden in your mind by that girl, and no one can even touch it or come in here! You’re nothing but an opener, a lucky man who has this sickbay to himself!”

　　[Chaos]’s words drilled into Lin Qiye’s mind like a thunderclap that boomed.

　　Indeed ……

　　There was no absolute connection between himself and this sickhouse.

　　During the years of blindness, this hospital had existed in his mind for so long that he couldn’t even open the door to it until his spiritual power broke through the “jan” realm, and he was able to enter it, find the white coat in the dean’s room, and discover the letter and paper left behind as a remembrance.

　　He opened door after door of the wards, spontaneously treating the patients therein in exchange for their abilities …… In the process, there was no sign that could prove that he was the owner of this place.

　　Even the “mysterious” spirits detained in the dungeon, writing:

　　”As the mythical creature you killed with your own hands, you have the right to decide its fate ……” rather than “As the owner of this sickhouse, you have the right to decide its fate… …”

　　If one thought with this line of thought, then a lot of things could actually be explained, for example, why was it that after the progress of the treatment arrived at 95%, the patient was able to see the images that Lin Qiye was seeing?

　　It wasn’t the sharing of vision, but because this hospital was in Lin Qiye’s mind, the picture the patient saw outside the hospital was what Lin Qiye saw. After the treatment progress reached 95%, they were about to get rid of their “patient” status, so they could see the progress bar above their heads and even try to communicate with the hospital.

　　”No …… even if it won’t recognize its owner, you shouldn’t be able to hurt me! You’re a mental patient here!” Lin Qiye frowned and spoke.

　　Lin Qiye clearly remembered that in the midst of this sickhouse, the patients and caretakers couldn’t cause him any harm, Nyx, Merlin, and Gilgamesh …… were all like this, and this should be the protection mechanism of this sickhouse.

　　The corners of [Chaos]’s mouth rose slightly as He reached out and pointed to the chessboard full of black pieces in front of Him.

　　”This sickbay, it does have its ideas, you have treated so many patients, and sometimes it does help you …… But don’t forget, I’m not like you!

　　It comes from outside the world, we also come from outside the world, what’s more, I’m also the [Chaos] of Voltron, as long as I’m given enough time, I can take over some of its powers, and even make its consciousness fall into a deep sleep ……

　　Haven’t you noticed? Recently, what’s different about this sickhouse?”

　　Lin Qiye looked like he thought of something, “It’s you? You’re the one who’s been secretly preventing me from taking in new caretakers? You’re tampering with the laws here? That chessboard …… doesn’t represent the changes in the outside world, but rather the extent of your control over this sickbay?!”

　　When he was on the National Luck Sea Island, Lin Qiye realized that he couldn’t recruit more caregivers, he originally thought that there was something wrong with these “mysterious” souls themselves, but now it seemed that this wasn’t the case.

　　”It’s an interesting game of chess, isn’t it?” [Chaos] laughed pointedly, “I’m just laying out my progress in taking control of this sickbay in front of all of you, but you can’t even guess what it means …… Every time I see your puzzled expressions, it’s very amusing!”

　　”If you’ve been hiding behind the sixth ward door for so long, why didn’t you take the opportunity to take control of it in the years before I even set foot in the sickbay?”

　　Upon hearing this question, the expression on “Yelander’s” face stiffened before he sneered.

　　A faint aura flashed across Lin Qiye’s eyes as he glanced at the room on the second floor of the sickbay, as if he had guessed something, and

　　”I know …… you’re jealous of the patients in the front few wards, right? Once your movements are discovered by them, Nyx, Merlin, Bragi, Sun Wukong, Gilgamesh and the others will never let you go, and you may not have a chance of winning if they join forces.

　　Therefore, you only dared to strike in secret, and you were even almost discovered by Gilgamesh, and it wasn’t until they all left the hospital that you dared to stand squarely in the open.”

　　After figuring this out, Lin Qiye’s face calmed down, at least this guy in front of him wasn’t calculating and without any weaknesses.

　　And at this time, Lin Qiye also basically connected all the dots between the causes and consequences of the matter.

　　”Eden’s matter, was it also you who messed up?”

　　”Hehe …… do you know how hard it is to find a soul full of life energy here? I went through so many means to swallow her soul into my stomach unknowingly and restore my strength, only to have it snatched away by you guys with that broken cup ……This account, we still have to settle it.” [Chaos] sneered.

　　Much like Lin Qiye’s guess, Bragi’s sudden discharge from the hospital was indeed [Chaos]’s doing.

　　At that point in time, Bragi should have been one with Eden, and it was unknown what means He used to directly extract Eden’s soul and swallow it into Himself, and without Eden as a second soul, Bragi naturally left the sick hospital at 100% healing progress.

　　When Lin Qiye returned to the hospital, [Chaos] changed the panel’s information again in order to avoid being detected, which led to the scene where Eden’s name disappeared ……

　　Later on, when Bracky wished on the [Holy Grail] for Eden’s return, the monster that appeared above the sky was no one else, it was [Chaos]’s own body! Only after that time, the [Holy Grail] also suffered an extremely strong backlash and burst on the spot.
