Chapter 18: Welcome Back

　　Zhao Kongcheng froze.

　　He really didn’t expect that this ordinary high school student in front of him would say such words and have such mature thoughts ……

　　It was only then that he realized how ridiculous his previous attempt to mobilize the middle-aged and hot-blooded mentality that was prevalent among teenage boys was.

　　Lin Qiye, was no ordinary high school student.

　　Lin Qiye stood up and walked straight to the door, hesitated for a moment, and stopped.

　　Thank you for telling me so much, the confidentiality agreement, I’ll sign it.

　　After saying that, he pushed the door out.

　　This time, Zhao Kongcheng just sat silently on the edge of the bed, his body slightly stood up, as if he wanted to go and pull him back, and after a short pause, he sat back down powerlessly.

　　He knew what this teenager meant, and he also knew that he was on a mission to bring this teenager back, but ……

　　He couldn’t do it.

　　Xiao Qi ah, finally back? Why aren’t you wearing your school uniform today?

　　Auntie, I got up in a hurry this morning and forgot to wear it.

　　You child …… don’t wear a school uniform, won’t the teacher scold you?

　　Just a few words, it’s fine.

　　Seven, you’ve just moved to a new school, so don’t give the teachers a bad impression, and be more careful.

　　Yes, Auntie.

　　How are you getting along with your classmates at school? They didn’t ostracize you, did they?

　　No, we get along quite well. They even gave me a ride home, and I gave them a ride too.

　　That’s good, that’s good.

　　I’m going to my room, Auntie.

　　Well, go to bed early.

　　Thunk-!

　　Lin Qiye closed the door to his room, lay on his back on the bed, looked out the window at the night, and let out a long sigh.

　　This world, it’s too complicated than he thought ……

　　However, it didn’t have much to do with him is all.

　　After resting for a while, Lin Qiye sat up and just started to undress when a hard item fell out of his pocket.

　　Clang!

　　Lin Qiye lowered his head and picked up the item, puzzlement surfacing between his brows.

　　It was a metal trinket, like a coat of arms, which was just a circle larger than a dollar coin, made of some unknown material, and exuded a faint coolness after entering his hand.

　　On the front of the coat of arms, two straight swords were interlaced, the body of the swords emitted a light blue shimmer, and the background behind the swords was a night sky dotted with stars, the workmanship was extremely exquisite!

　　At the bottom of the pattern, three small characters, Zhao Kongcheng, were engraved.

　　This was …… Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.

　　Lin Qiye recalled that during the process of Zhao Kongcheng dragging himself towards the hotel just now, he seemed to have touched his pocket.

　　Did he accidentally lose it?

　　Lin Qiye fiddled with the coat of arms and turned it over on its side, and on the back, engraved with a few small lines.

　　If the Eclipsing Night comes to an end.

　　I will stand before ten thousand people and

　　I will turn my sword towards the abyss.

　　Blood stains the dome of the sky!

　　Good spirit …… Is this written by Zhao Kongcheng himself? Or is it the admonition of their Night’s Watch? Lin Qiye muttered, looking at his dull appearance, it doesn’t look like he can write such words ah ……

　　After playing with it for a while longer, Lin Qiye placed it on the table, changed his clothes and climbed into bed.

　　Tonight, he still had very important things to do.

　　He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness inside the Asylum of the Gods in his mind.

　　At this moment, in the small courtyard of the asylum, Nyx was sitting in a rocking chair holding a bunch of bottles and jars, seemingly murmuring something, with a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth from time to time.

　　If one ignored the cloudiness in her eyes, and the strange things in her arms, just based on the noble aura she exuded with her hands and feet, this would surely be an absolutely beautiful picture.

　　Shortly afterward, Lin Qiye, dressed in a white coat, slowly walked in.

　　In order to better substitute into the role of a psychiatrist, Lin Qiye had specially found a set of white coat in the dean’s office, and even clipped a pair of flat glasses to his collar.

　　Just at first glance, it did look like that.

　　Lin Qiye walked over to the rocking chair, silently gazing at Niux’s cloudy, dull eyes and sighed lightly.

　　From the mythological texts he had looked through, Niux was indeed one of the oldest and most powerful batch of gods in Greek mythology, with her status and power being at the top of the heap.

　　However, compared to the other gods, she had one of the greatest characteristics ……

　　Likes to give birth to children!

　　According to Lin Qiye’s statistics, Nix’s children numbered at least twenty, including the famous God of Death Darnadus, the God of Sleep Thupnos, and the God of Space, Goddess of Fate, God of Doom, etc., etc…….

　　With the exception of a few, most of Nyx’s children were evil gods, and after their births, they caused havoc on the earth, and not a few of them ended up in a tragic situation.

　　From the mere words of the mythology, Lin Qiye couldn’t get more detailed information about this Goddess of the Night, but he surmised that Niux’s current condition might have something to do with her children.

　　That doctor at the Sunshine Mental Hospital said that a male patient fantasized about his wife’s existence because he missed her too much. So was Nyx’s illness, the same thing?

　　Because she missed her children too much, thus mistaking those bottles and jars for her children?

　　But what exactly happened to her heir? What caused Nyx to react so violently?

　　And as an ancient god with divine nature, could it really possess such strong emotions? Or was …… she taken away from her divine body and stripped of her divine personality before she had her attack?

　　Lin Qiye did not know.

　　Xupnos, don t be anxious, your brother will be back soon, he was just greedy for a while ……

　　This kid, Danadus, has been a troublemaker since he was a kid, when he comes back, we must teach him a good lesson!

　　Nix stroked the vase in her hand, staring blankly into the distance, a flash of hope surfaced in her eyes, followed by a cloudy look.

　　Her pause, hoarse voice slightly trembling:

　　Can ……

　　Three thousand years, why hasn’t he returned ……

　　Lin Qiye looked at this scene, and for some reason, a sourness flooded his heart.

　　Who would have thought that that once high and mighty Goddess of Darkness would now be so helpless, and humble.

　　She was the Goddess of Darkness and a mother waiting for her child to return.

　　If you want to cure her, you have to start from the root …… Lin Qiye s mind once again echoed the doctor s words, and he lowered his head and tried to think hard.

　　The root cause …… of Niix’s illness lies in the child she lost.

　　If you want to cure her, you can only start with her children, but you have to know that her children are all famous Greek gods, it is impossible for you to go and retrieve them one by one and bring them to Niux, right?

　　But Lin Qiye didn’t even know if they were brought to this world by the mists, so where to find so many gods?

　　Even if he found them, would those evil gods really obediently follow him over?

　　Lin Qiye frowned as he pondered, and just then, an aura flashed through his mind!

　　Maybe …… this will work?

　　Lin Qiye stood up and gazed at Niux tangledly for a long time before finally making up his mind and stepping forward.

　　In Niux’s dull eyes, Lin Qiye took a step forward to her ……

　　Gently squatting down.

　　Stretching out his hands to embrace Niix.

　　Whispered softly beside her ear:

　　Mother, I’m back.

　　At this moment, Niix’s eyes suddenly glowed with an unprecedented radiance!

　　She tremblingly stretched out her hands and hugged Lin Qiye tightly, and only after a long time did she tremblingly utter a complete sentence:

　　Welcome back, Danadus, my child ……
