Chapter 528 – Who is He?

　　Lin Qiye was draped in a white lab coat and had just stepped out from the corridor when a figure walked towards him head on.
　　Dressed in a starched gown, Niux was walking slowly, even with black wool and knitting needles in her arms, it was hard to hide the noble aura that flowed out from her bones, a gentle smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth when she saw Lin Qiye.
　　”Good morning, mother.” Lin Qiye greeted with a smile.
　　”Good morning, I was looking for you, Danadus.”
　　”Is something wrong?” Lin Qiye froze.
　　”Come with me, you’ll know in a moment.” Nyx smiled warmly and led Lin Qiye, toward the other side of the corridor.
　　Lin Qiye, who was planning to go underground to interrogate the [Secret Peeper], hesitated for a moment, but still took a step to follow, and the two of them walked up the stairs and straight into Niux’s hospital room.
　　Niux walked into the room and placed the knitting needles in his hands on the table before unfolding the ball of black wool and shaking it in the sunlight.
　　It wasn’t until this moment that Lin Qiye was able to see the full picture of the ball of wool.
　　It was a black knitted coat.
　　Since a long time ago, Niix basically wouldn’t talk to those bottles and jars anymore, nor would she laze around alone in her rocking chair, and around last year, she had an extra ball of black wool in her hands ……
　　Every day, she just sat in the yard, basking in the sun while knitting a sweater.
　　Like a leisurely noblewoman.
　　Lin Qiye thought, at first, that she was just looking for something to kill time, until this coat was now displayed in front of his eyes, and his entire being was stunned in place.
　　”This is …… for me?” Lin Qiye looked up at Niux when he saw the familiar size.
　　Niux smiled faintly as she lifted the shoulder seams of the coat and stuck it in front of Lin Qiye’s body, carefully comparing it to Lin Qiye’s figure.
　　”Right.” NiX replied with a smile, “Isn’t it natural for a mother to knit a dress for her child?”
　　Lin Qiye stared at Niux in a daze for a long time before looking down at this knitted coat in front of him, a warm current rising in his heart.
　　The last person who knitted clothes for him by hand was still his aunt.
　　Probably when he was seven or eight years old, because at that time his aunt had just been divorced, in order to support him and Jin, his aunt could be said to be the four words of meticulous budgeting to the extreme, every year in winter after the two of them had fallen asleep, his aunt would sit by the window and knit a little bit of clothes by the weak light.
　　Although the clothes can’t be said to be much better looking, they are very comfortable to wear and make people feel inexplicably at ease.
　　Lin Qiye hadn’t seen his mother before, nor did he know what she looked like, all his knowledge of motherhood came from his aunt.
　　But now, he once again felt that familiar and mesmerizing warmth in the gentle smiling woman in front of him.
　　”The size is perfect, next, it’s time to collect the stitches.” Nyx nodded with satisfaction, folding the knitted coat and setting it aside.
　　”Thank you, mother.” Lin Qiye said heartily.
　　”There’s no need to say thank you, Danadus, you’re my child, and as I said, I’m willing to do anything for you.” Nyx said gently, “Or, if you have time, you can stay and have lunch together?”
　　Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, “I probably can’t today, I have an important test in a while ……”
　　”That’s fine, next time then.” Niux smiled, “Go and busy yourself, I think, you didn’t come back just to take a walk, right?”
　　Lin Qiye scratched his head in some embarrassment, “Then I’ll go and get busy first.”
　　He turned around and left ward number one, heading straight towards the dean’s room.
　　Standing alone in the corridor, Niux gazed at Lin Qiye’s departing back and sighed lightly.
　　”Why don’t you just talk to him and ask him to stay and keep you company a little longer?”
　　Merlin held a thermos cup and leaned against the doorway of the study, speaking calmly.
　　Nyx shook his head, “He’s got his own thing going on, I can’t keep him tied to me forever.”
　　”But you don’t have much time left either.” Merlin glanced at him, an arcane light emanating from his eyes, “You can barely contain it anymore, can you?”
　　Nyx, draped in a starry robe, stood still and silent.
　　”You’ve been able to suppress it until now, it’s already remarkable, I should say it’s worthy of being one of India’s creator gods.” Merlin paused, “However, you left part of your divine power woven into clothes for him, it will cause damage to your own soul, and by the time you remake your divine body, it will not be able to return to its peak state.”
　　”I don’t care.”
　　Nyx slowly spoke, and a faint trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
　　Then, her expression gradually became firm and
　　”He’s the only child I …… have left.”
　　She turned back to Merlin, “Don’t forget, the agreement between us.”
　　Mei Lin sighed, touched the thinning hair on top of his head, and muttered, “After taking care of it for so long, it’s going to be wasted again ……”
　　Lin Qiye wore his black-framed glasses as he walked through one dark and cramped cell after another, eventually stopping in front of a certain cell.
　　In the cell, a black shadow was standing quietly in the center of the cell, a crimson eye raised above its head as it gazed at Lin Qiye outside the cage, a smirk emerging from its eyes.
　　It bent down slightly, placing its right hand on its chest as it respectfully saluted.
　　”Dean Lin, you’ve finally come to see me.”
　　Hearing this address, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You have long known of the existence of this place, and you also know very well that after being killed by me, your soul will come here …… That’s why you didn’t hesitate to hide for twelve years in the world, yet you happened to appear at this time.
　　Your purpose, is here …… right?”
　　”As expected, no secret can escape your eyes.” The red-eyed black shadow did not deny it.
　　”How did you know about this place?”
　　Lin Qiye gazed at the Red-eyed Black Shadow with a somewhat serious expression.
　　The existence of the Asylum of the Gods had always been his secret, and he had never told anyone about it, so since this was the case, how did it know about the existence of this place?
　　It even knew that after it was killed, its soul would come here …… If it wasn’t accidentally discovered, this was something that even Lin Qiye, who had just taken control of the asylum, didn’t know.
　　The most crucial thing was that twelve years ago, Lin Qiye hadn’t even been chosen by the Blazing Angels, and the Hospital of the Gods hadn’t appeared in his mind; back then, he was just an ordinary elementary school student.
　　Back then, it already knew all of this?
　　”All of my actions originate from the guidance of a great being.” The red-eyed black shadow spoke respectfully, “Before I descended into this world, He had already arranged everything, I only need to follow His guidance and do what I should do.”
　　”He, who is He?”
