Chapter 102 let it slip...
The Celestial Venerable and Yang Jin arrived and departed in haste.
They said they were going back to repair the Heavenly Court.
Now, only Li Jie and Lin Qiye remained in the arena.
Instead of taking Lin Qiye back, he helped him sit on the hillside, leaning against a big tree, enjoying the evening breeze.
“Ms. Nyx, if you can hear me, please show yourself…”
Li Jie sat down next to Lin Qiye and tried to call out to Nyx in the hospital.
The hospital's owner is currently in a coma, and Li Jie doesn't know if he can wake her up.
In the blink of an eye, a wisp of nightlight emanated from Lin Qiye's body and solidified in front of the two of them.
"Brother Danadus, what urgent matter do you summon me for? I won't be available for long, so let's get straight to the point..."
Brother?
Is that how he introduced me to Nyx?
So, could I...?
"Hello, Auntie. I would like to ask you to work with Lord Merlin to forcibly wake up Qiye. There are some things that need his personal attention."
"After this matter is settled, I will take him to a safe place for treatment."
Aunt?
Hearing Li Jie call her that, Nix was overjoyed.
But then he heard that he wanted to forcibly awaken Thanatos.
A look of hesitation still appeared on her face.
Seeing that Nyx did not immediately agree, Li Jie understood her doubts.
"Please rest assured, I will absolutely not do anything to harm him."
"Letting him know the whole truth now will help his mental recovery."
Hearing this, Nyx nodded heavily.
"I can't guarantee it, after all, Thanatos is the owner of that sacred object. I can only try it with Merlin."
"Thank you very much."
After Nyx floated back into Lin Qiye's body, Li Jie was plunged into a long wait.
It wasn't until dawn that Lin Qiye slowly woke up, groaning softly.
Greeting the first rays of morning sunlight.
He sat up, sobbing.
"It's all my fault... I didn't... bring them all back..."
During his period of self-isolation, Lin Qiye tried to use the remaining divine power of Michael to recreate a new [Mortal Divine Realm].
Let the people of Cangnan return to this world once again.
But no matter how hard they tried, it all came to nothing.
Until Nyx's gentle voice entered his mental world.
Lin Qiye reluctantly woke up from his fantasy.
But when he saw the broken walls and ruins under the sunlight.
Hot tears once again streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks...
"I don't want... I don't want a world like this..."
What don't you want?
Hearing Li Jie's voice, Lin Qiye broke down again...
"Brother...they're all gone..."
"I failed to bring them back... It's all my fault!!"
Hearing Lin Qiye's roar, Li Jie's cold face also showed a hint of pity.
He really wanted to comfort the little guy who was caught in a deep self-doubt.
However, reason told him that he couldn't do that.
The purpose of having Nyx and Merlin wake him up was to help him become stronger quickly; constantly comforting him might have the opposite effect.
"Stop crying! Get up!!"
Li Jie approached Lin Qiye and spoke loudly.
Look at the state you're in now!
Do you think the deceased people of Cangnan City would want to see you like this?
"As long as you live, they still have hope of coming back!!"
"The prerequisite is that you're strong enough!!!"
Seeing that Lin Qiye remained unmoved, Li Jie stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
"Look at me!!"
Lin Qiye sobbed, her eyes vacant as she looked at Li Jie, whose face was serious.
"Do you want to be a hero of the world, or go back to your hospital and be a coward?!"
"answer me!"
What did Brother Li just say...?
Hospital? ? ! !
How did he know I had a hospital inside me?
"Brother... what did you just say... hospital?"
Oh no... I let it slip!
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's question, Li Jie's mind raced.
"Wu," a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he spoke in a serious tone.
"Aunt Nyx appeared while you were unconscious."
"She wanted me to comfort you, but I refused."
"Because you are a man, you don't need me, a man myself, to comfort you!"
Even if you have a thousand sorrows in your heart, you can only let them settle within yourself!
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, Lin Qiye's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
The mother appeared... then everything makes sense...
He gently pursed his lips and wiped away the tears from his eyes.
Yes... I'm a man, how can I let myself get so down?
Brother Li is right, as long as I live and am strong enough.
Everything I've lost, I'll make them pay me back someday!!
"Brother...I understand...."
Seeing that Lin Qiye was gradually returning to normal, Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close... I almost gave myself away...
"Brother...I'm so tired...I want to rest for a while."
Seeing that he was about to faint again, Li Jie quickly helped him up.
"Wait a while before you sleep. Do you still have any of Michael's remaining divine power within you?"
Lin Qiye nodded.
"What are the remaining ones for?"
"You forgot? Couldn't we use the power of 'miracle' to heal Deputy Captain Wu's hand as well?"
"Yeah... how come I didn't think of that... but, brother... I can't walk anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie naturally bent down and carried Lin Qiye on his back.
This can be considered a reward for that brat...
.........
At the Peace Office, the remaining members of Squad 136 sat around the table, deeply saddened.
Xiao Nan and Leng Xuan left.
The captain and Cangnan disappeared together.
With Qi Ye and Li Jie's fates unknown and so many things happening in a single day, their brains are about to explode!
Just now, they were teleported back to their base by some unknown force.
That's how we ended up in this situation.
"Ding-dong, welcome!"
The old wooden door creaked.
Hongying didn't even raise her head, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Sorry, we are closed today. Please come back another day."
"We can't reschedule, we're leaving soon..."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the members of Squad 136 looked up in disbelief.
When they saw Li Jie carrying Lin Qiye in shirtless, they rushed over to help.
"What exactly happened?" Zhao Kongcheng asked, his brows furrowed as he sensed the two men's weakened state.
"Two gods were slain, what a pity... you didn't see that scene."
Upon hearing Zhao Kongcheng's question, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Li Jie's face.
"Old Zhao, you have no idea how cool that sword strike I made back then was!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng opened his mouth slightly, looking at the two teenagers in front of him, unsure of what to say.
After a long silence, he slowly walked to Li Jie and the other man and patted them on the shoulder.
"I admit... you guys are all more handsome than me..."
"It's good that you're back...."
