Chapter 466 – Lin Qiye’s Acrophobia
The Asylum of the Gods.
Duh-duh-duh.
A crisp knock on the door came, and Bracky, who was about to undress and fall asleep, froze slightly and walked forward to open the door to his room, only to see that a familiar figure clad in a white lab coat was standing in the corridor.
”Dean?” A puzzled look surfaced in Bragi’s eyes when he saw Lin Qiye come looking for him so late at night.
Lin Qiye hmmmed and walked into the room.
”I came this time to give you an item.” A light flashed between Lin Qiye’s palms and a red mailbox appeared out of nowhere in his hands.
This mailbox was about the size of half a desk, the system was older, but the paint on the surface was also a bit chipped, and from the looks of it, it wasn’t any different from the mailboxes that were common decades ago.
Bracky held this mailbox, and the puzzled look on his face intensified.
”Dean, this is ……”
”A treasure borrowed from a friend, letters stuffed into this mailbox can ignore space and be delivered directly to the hands of the person you’re most attached to.” Lin Qiye said in a serious manner, “And the one who receives the letter, as long as they burn the return letter along with this letter they received, the return letter will appear in this mailbox.”
Bragi froze, holding the red mailbox and scrutinizing it for a long time, he said suspiciously, “Dean, don’t be fooled, isn’t this just an ordinary mailbox? Where is there any ability to ignore space?”
”Your realm isn’t enough, so of course you can’t see through the mysteries inside, but its supernormal abilities are real.” Lin Qiye said with certainty.
”Doesn’t that mean that if I just shove the letter I wrote into the mailbox, Eden will be able to receive it and write me back?”
”Of course, but there are some limitations when using it.” Lin Qiye said, “First of all, its ability can only be used once a day, and you can only deliver the letter and receive a reply at night, during which time, your eyes can’t gaze at it, or else the spatial teleportation will be interrupted, and the letter will be obliterated in the void turbulence.
Secondly, after you lock a person as the target for sending the letter, you can’t make changes to the target for one year, meaning that after you send the letter to Eden, it can’t send the letter to anyone else besides Eden.”
After hearing Lin Qiye’s serious words, Bracky, who originally didn’t quite believe in this ordinary mailbox’s ability, began to waver.
What he said …… seemed to really be true, right?
And there was no need for him to lie to himself!
Can’t it be that this postbox really has a mystery?
”So, then can I send a letter now?” Bracky asked with some impatience.
”Of course.” Lin Qiye made a please gesture.
Bragi quickly sat down at the table, took out a pen and paper, and after a few moments of contemplation, scribbled on the paper.
”To my eternal beloved, Eden:
When you read this letter, it means that this attempt was successful, and I have finally gotten in touch with you during this period of time without you ……”
Lin Qiye stood aside, silently watching the serious letter-writing Bracky, his figure trailing a long shadow in the faint light, the pen in his hand never stopped for a moment, as if he had a thousand words he wanted to pour out, he smiled at times, frustrated at times, sad at times ……
Time passed minute by minute, and by the time Bragi put down his pen, there were already three more pieces of densely written letter paper in front of him.
”There’s still something missing.” Lin Qiye suddenly spoke.
Bragi froze, “What’s still missing?”
”If you don’t include the method of replying to the letter, how will she know how to reply to you?”
Bragi slapped his thigh and revealed an expression of sudden realization, “Right, I almost forgot!”
He lifted his pen and wrote the method of replying to the letter in more detail, and finally finished folding it flat, took a deep breath, and gently stuffed it into the mailbox.
”Is it okay?” He carefully asked Lin Qiye.
”It’s okay.” A smile emerged from the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth, “It’s time for you to get a good night’s sleep, and if it goes well, by the time you get up tomorrow morning, you’ll be able to receive Eden’s reply from the mailbox …… However, you have to remember that you can’t look at the mailbox in the middle of the day, much less open it up, got it? ”
Bracky nodded his head like garlic.
After taking care of everything, Lin Qiye left Bragi’s room, but he didn’t leave the sickbay just like that, instead, his body swayed and came to sit at the bottom of the large tree in the courtyard, quietly focusing on the situation inside the room.
And he expected more or less, Blakey first excitedly walked around the house several times, still can not control themselves not to look at that mailbox, simply directly with a pillow to cover the eyes, the whole person lying on the bed, fell into a deep sleep ……
The hazy moonlight sprinkled into the house, I don’t know how long it took, he slowly sat up from the bed again.
Those eyes opened, but the previous excitement could no longer be seen, and he …… did not, she put a light veil over her body, walked out of bed, looked out through that window, and remotely glanced at Lin Qiye under the tree.
The color of gratitude surfaced in her eyes.
On weekdays Eden was still able to know what was happening in the outside world even though she was hibernating in the deepest recesses of Bragi’s consciousness, and ever since Lin Qiye pulled out the so-called space-ignoring mailbox, she had already guessed his intentions.
As Bragi had said, it was just an ordinary mailbox.
Its real purpose was just to hide the fact that Eden was right next to him, and by doing so, the two were able to communicate to a certain extent, and those seemingly bluffing rules were nothing more than Lin Qiye’s protection against revealing himself.
Eden walked over to her desk and sat down, opening the mailbox and taking out the letter that Bragi had written to her, reading it carefully.
Although she already knew what was written inside, knowing it was completely different from holding it in her hands and reading it. At this moment, she was no longer a dead soul lodged in Bragi’s body, but Bragi’s soulful wife.
”…… I’m in a very magical, quiet place, I can’t understand the existence of this place, but everything here makes me feel comfortable, how about you? How are you doing now?”
”…… The days here remind me of the good times we spent in the garden of eternity, but there are none of those pesky evil gods here, my favorite Eden, how I would love to live here with you forever if I could… …”
”…… During the time I’ve been living here, I’ve written a few poems for you, and I’d like to sing them to you in person when we meet ……”
Looking at those familiar fonts, Eden’s eyes moistened slightly.
She had been watching Bracky’s state during these days, and although her heart was filled with joy at his deep love, it was more filled with worry and heartache for him ……
Under the dim light, Eden lifted her pen and, with tears in her eyes, began to write back to Blakey.
