Lin Qiye

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Lin Qiye spent five years in his dreams trying to open the Gods’ Psychiatric Hospital. After his eyesight returned and his spiritual power increased, he entered and met Zhou Meng, a patient. Lin Qiye’s ward task instructed him to borrow Zhou Meng’s copied traits to advance the god’s treatment 3.

Initially, Lin Qiye wanted only to protect his family and had no intention of joining an organization. After fighting the Ghost-Faced King alongside Zhao Kongcheng, he joined the Nightwatchers to repay Zhao and become strong enough to protect his family 4 5 8 9 11.

Personality

Lin Qiye is protective of his family and willing to risk himself for others. During the Jinnan Mountain exercise, he held back his transformation ability while Cao Yuan was still beside him, considering it irresponsible to abandon a teammate 11 45.

He is cautious about revealing the gods in his hospital and can be skeptical of Zhou Meng’s pranks. Nevertheless, he comes to trust Zhou Meng’s help, recognizing that the god has shown him no ill will despite their frequent teasing 14 22.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Ghost-Faced King

Warned by a bat that Zhao Kongcheng was fighting a monster, Lin Qiye reached the battlefield using Dark Night Flash. His Star-Splitting Art failed to kill the Ghost-Faced King, leaving him exhausted. He allowed Zhou Meng to possess him; Zhou Meng killed the monster and halted Zhao’s failing life force 8 9.

Nanda Snake Demon

During his first official mission, Lin Qiye was appointed acting commander and gathered the school’s occupants in the auditorium. After Zhou Meng identified Li Yifei as the demon’s true body, Lin Qiye exposed him with divine might and killed the demon with Hongying’s help. Li Yifei subsequently entered the hospital’s service 17 19 22 23.

Nightwatcher training camp

Lin Qiye summoned a Mushroom Man and used Gate of Babylon against the Masked Squad. After the squad attacked him together, he let Zhou Meng take over; the exercise ended after the god manifested. The instructors subsequently increased Lin Qiye’s training while keeping Zhou Meng’s existence secret 28 29 32 33 34 36 38.

Later, Lin Qiye subdued Cao Yuan’s frenzy with Seventy-Two Transformations. In the Jinnan Mountain exercise, he became the first recruit to clear the extreme training on a first attempt, drilling underground to the exit before collapsing from mental exhaustion 42 45 46 47.
