Godslayer: A random filename extension?

After three circles to the left and three circles to the right...

[Shall we knock on the door?]

"Well, it seems like knocking on the door is the only option."

Lin Linhou originally intended to see if there were any other views or other entrances to the building.

But the result was obvious. He circled around several times, but all he found was fog. The building was sealed off; in fact, the entrance with its large door was only visible from the front.

Other directions, or even none at all.

Most importantly, the master key was not brought in; instead, it was maintained outside as a passageway for his original soul consciousness to enter this place.

Lin Linhou tried to push the door, but it seemed to be locked from the inside.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Hello! Anyone home? The FBI is here to check the water meter!"

As for whether knocking on the door rashly would be dangerous, Lin Linhou was not worried, since he could be resurrected anyway.

He was mainly afraid that some terrifying ghost might open the door and kill him, which would probably be very scary.

At that very moment, inside the mental hospital, Lin Qiye, who was talking with Li Yifei about Nyx's situation over the past two days, suddenly had his pupils shrink.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the mental hospital.

Did you hear that just now?

He asked Li Yifei if he had also felt the noise, wondering if it was just his imagination.

There are people outside this mental hospital?!

"Of course I heard it, very clearly. Someone knocked on the door and said they were checking the water meter."

Li Yifei shrugged and said that he was a snake, not deaf. How could he not hear such loud knocking and shouting?

Lin Qiye:......￣へ￣

The point isn't whether you're deaf or not.

But why is someone knocking on the door?!

Lin Qiye told Li Yifei to go get the medicine for Nix first, while he went to open the door and check on things. "The FBI coming to check the water meter?"

Do you expect to pay for utilities at a mental hospital?

The door opens...

"Lin Qiye?"

"Holy crap, Brother Lin!? What are you doing here?"

Lin Linhou: ...?? ?

"After saying 'Holy crap,' please pause for a moment before using other people's titles; it's more polite."

ten minutes later……

"I see. So there's a small hidden treasure in your sea of ​​consciousness. Hmm, this kind of cheat isn't too surprising."

Lin Linhou looked around at the scenery inside the mental hospital. From the outside, the mental hospital seemed like a lonely building shrouded in mist.

But now, once you step inside the gate, the sky above the courtyard is dotted with stars, and the interior space feels exceptionally large.

This clearly aligns with the idea of ​​opening up another independent small world within the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Brother Lin, are you saying that this entire mental hospital is actually a magical treasure with its own little world within it?"

Lin Linhou nodded, indicating that although he couldn't be completely sure, based on his experience, he guessed it should be pretty close.

Then Lin Linhou explained why he was there.

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

A universal key that can open the vast majority of locks in the world?

That sounds amazing! It's a pity I couldn't bring him in, otherwise Lin Qiye would have led him to break all six locks.

"I really envy you, big brother, that you get to draw some amazing items every now and then."

He and Li Yifei are still taking care of the elderly person, acting as both son and grandson.

"Lin Qiye! Come quick! Is there some emergency with your mother?"

While Lin Qiye and Lin Linhou were talking in the courtyard, Li Yifei suddenly ran over, panting.

He said that after he returned to the ward with the medicine, he found that Nyx was not in a good condition. When he called her, she did not respond at all, and just stared blankly with tears in her eyes.

"Your mother?"

Lin Qiye: ……←_←

Dude, you were just talking about me! Now your comment is civilized?

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. Come to think of it, we've known each other for so long, did your parents actually live in your head?"

The three of them walked up to the second floor, and Lin Linhou asked in confusion.

"No, it's my godmother. The situation is a bit complicated, I'll explain in detail later. As for my parents... they seem to have disappeared."

Lin Linhou: (?????) Oh, I understand.

"I understand. It's a standard protagonist setup: an unknown background, an unknown cheat ability, and missing parents, right? Hahaha."

[(￢?￢) Lin Hou, how could you laugh when you said that?]

When you said that, you subconsciously excluded yourself, didn't you?

Lin Linhou: ...

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) It seems so too.

"Oh? So Sister Mengqing is here too. That's perfect. Could you please check on my godmother's condition later?"

[Yes, that's fine.]

During their conversation, the three of them entered ward number one through a window.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Lin Qiye asked softly, while also using his hospital's powers to check on Nyx's treatment status.

However, what is puzzling is that at this time, Nyx's treatment progress is "repeatedly jumping around," sometimes reaching as high as 46%, and sometimes even dropping to negative numbers.

-_-||

What's happening here? !

Just as Lin Qiye was wondering, Nyx, who had been sitting by the window in a daze with tears streaming down his face, suddenly made a move.

As if she heard Lin Qiye's call, or as if she didn't, she stood up, turned around, and reached out her hand, her steps slightly trembling as she approached the group.

Li Yifei felt the scene was strangely familiar, and unconsciously took two steps to the side.

I wondered if this aunt was planning to adopt another grandson.

Lin Qiye also noticed that Nix's gaze and footsteps were not directed at him, but at Lin Linhou, who was watching the commotion from the side.

Sure enough, a second later she bypassed Lin Qiye and went straight to hug Lin Linhou, who was just watching the show.

Lin Linhou: (?o?o?) ? ? ?

When Lin Linhou saw the aunt get up and turn around, he was thinking that Lin Qiye's godmother was quite pretty.

Even with tears streaming down her face, her unique charisma was still undeniable.

But the next moment, the aunt suddenly hugged him, and in the last two steps, she even made a small sprint, knocking Lin Linhou down against the wall, and then he squatted on the ground.

It felt like being hit by a car; there was no room for resistance or struggle before you were sent flying.

At this moment, Lin Linhou squatted on the ground with his back against the wall, subconsciously raising his hands to avoid being accused of taking advantage of others.

Nyx was still holding him tightly in front of him, crying loudly and sorrowfully.

"Ah... Ouch... I'm going to die, I'm going to die... It really hurts... Are you crazy?!"

Lin Linhou felt like he had almost been hit so hard that his soul was scattered.

Even if you're a beautiful woman, you can't dribble and hit someone with that kind of force; it could kill them.

Moreover, he wasn't like Cao Cao, who had no interest in other men's wives.

Lin Qiye: ...emmm...

"Brother Lin has a discerning eye."

Lin Qiye was surprised that his older brother Lin could see through his mother's situation at a glance.

His mother is indeed mentally ill.

Lin Linhou: ?_??

I'm not asking you a question!

"So... what's the situation now, or rather, could you ask your mom... to hug you a little lighter?"

Lin Linhou felt that if they were outside, he would probably be strangled by the force of the hug.

However, Lin Qiye did not have time to explain further to Lin Linhou, such as that his godmother suffered from delusions and might mistake him for a son or grandson.

Nyx's next wailing left everyone present completely bewildered.

"Mother! Waaah... Is it really you? You've finally decided to come see your daughter..."

Lin Linhou: ? ? ? ?

Lin Qiye: ???

Li Yifei: ? ?

Si Mengqing: ?
