The Girl Who Won Against a God

Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods.

In the spacious and tidy courtyard, Nyx sat in a rocking chair, holding a vase and staring blankly.

A young man in a white coat walked through the corridor with several bottles of medicine and approached her.

"You've come to see me, Danaus, my child." Nyx turned her head to look at Lin Qiye, a smile blooming on her lips.

Lin Qiye sat down beside her and hummed in response.

"It's time to take your medicine."

He poured the medicine from the bottles, carefully dividing it into small piles and placing them in Nyx's hand.

"Good girl, take your medicine first."

Nyx didn't hesitate, swallowed the medicine in her hand in one go, then looked at Lin Qiye, her eyes full of affection.

"Danaus, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Lin Qiye was stunned. He hadn't expected this mentally ill patient, Nyx, to see through his state at a glance. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded.

"You could say that."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm afraid you can't help me with this," Lin Qiye shook his head.

How could an outsider help with something like running away from home and being heartbroken all by himself?

Nyx looked a bit dejected, then, as if she had thought of something, she spoke, "In that case, Danaus, I'll give you a gift."

"A gift?" Lin Qiye was taken aback.

"Yes, I'll give you my bracelet. From now on, you can wear it with you, and it will..." Nyx reached for her wrist...

She felt her wrist again, She looked down at her bare wrist. Where was her bracelet?

"My bracelet... where is my bracelet?"

Lin Qiye: ...

As expected, Nyx was seriously ill!

Nyx tilted her head, frowning, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to get up and leave, Nyx suddenly spoke, "I remember."

"Remember what?"

"My bracelet was won from me."

"Won from you?" Lin Qiye was stunned. He thought about it, but couldn't recall any myths about a bracelet. "Which god won it?"

"Not a god," Nyx shook her head, pointing at Lin Qiye. "She's like you."

"Like me... is she also your child?" Lin Qiye tried to think from Nyx's perspective.

"No, she's like you. She was also wearing this white dress."

Lin Qiye's pupils contracted, and his brow furrowed tightly.

"Are you saying that before me, someone else wearing this dress entered your room and won your bracelet?"

Nyx nodded.

Lin Qiye's expression gradually became serious.

Unintentionally, he had obtained such important information from Nyx.

Based on her description, before he knocked on the door of this psychiatric hospital and released Nyx, someone else must have been here, and they had also opened Nyx's door!

He... wasn't the only master here?

But this hospital was clearly in his mind. How could someone else enter?

Lin Qiye suddenly remembered that the first time he had a dream about knocking on the door of a psychiatric hospital was five years ago...

Five years ago, it had appeared so abruptly and mysteriously in his dream.

Could it be... that five years ago, before he dreamed of the hospital, someone else existed here?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiye immediately sat back down and said solemnly, "How did she win your bracelet?"

Nyx recalled for a moment and then said, "She said she wanted to compete with me. If I won, she would return my child to me. If I lost, I had to give her my bracelet."

"What did you compete in?"

Nyx slowly uttered two words: "Creation."

"Creation? And you lost? How is that possible?" Lin Qiye's eyes were filled with surprise. "You are the Goddess of Night, one of the five gods who created the world. How could you lose to someone else?"

"I don't know, but I did lose," Nyx shook her head.

"Do you remember what she looked like?"

"I remember, she seemed to be only twelve or thirteen at the time, with long black hair, very beautiful. There's also a strange pattern here." Nyx pointed to the back of her hand.

"A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl beat you in a creation contest?" Lin Qiye's eyes were about to pop out. "Even with your Divine Spark damaged now, that's highly unlikely, right?"

Nyx sat there, seemingly lost in thought again.

Lin Qiye calmed himself down and continued to ask, "What else do you remember about her? Her name?"

"I don't know... I only know that her surname seemed to be... Ji?" Nyx said uncertainly.

"Ji..." Lin Qiye murmured the word.

"Finally, before I returned to my room, she walked that way." Nyx thought for a moment, then pointed to a room on the third floor.

"I understand. Get some good rest." Lin Qiye looked up at the room, gave a reminder, and turned to run towards the stairwell.

A moment later, Lin Qiye arrived in front of the room Nyx had indicated.

Three large characters were written on the doorplate.

— Dean's Office.

Lin Qiye's brow furrowed, and he pushed the door open.

Behind the door was an office, not too big, not too small, and it looked a bit messy.

He had been in this room before; he had taken this white coat from the hanger inside. However, he didn't seem to have found anything when he entered previously.

Since Nyx said the girl had entered this room at the time, it was highly likely that she had left some important clues.

This time, he was going to search the place thoroughly!

Instead of rummaging through drawers and cabinets, he sat down on the spot and slowly closed his eyes.

With the Divine Forbidden Zone given to him by the Seraphim, he could easily sense everything in the room, which was much more efficient than searching through things.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up and walked to the desk, reaching into a hidden compartment in the last drawer and pulling out a slightly yellowed letter.

It was here after all!

Lin Qiye quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter. His expression suddenly became a bit strange.

Hiss... this handwriting looks a bit ugly!

It was crooked and messy, like a primary school student just learning to write.

"To Whom It May Concern:

I don't know who you are, but I know you are the true owner of this place.

By the time you find this letter, several years should have passed. Don't laugh at my bad handwriting now; I'm still young, and it will get better when I grow up.

Sorry for holding onto your hospital for a while, but since it's back to its rightful owner now, don't blame me! (Sticking out tongue doodle)

Also, I borrowed a few things from some of your patients. I'll return them when I find you again, don't worry!

One last reminder, there's another place beneath this office~

When I grow up, I will come to find you, stranger, as you are my hope of returning home.

Bye bye~
