Chapter 3, Knock on the Door

In the mirror, Lin Qiye has his eyes closed

There seems to be only one method to enter

Slowly, Lin Qiye fell into a deep sleep

In other words, within a radius of ten meters around Lin Qiye, he possesses absolute vision. To put it bluntly, he can see through things; but to elevate it, he can perceive every speck of dust floating in the air, see every component inside a machine, and observe every subtle movement of a magician beneath the table

He did not know that, at the moment he entered the realm of dreams, two beams of brilliant golden light shot out from the cracks of his closed eyes in the dark room, fleeting and ephemeral

When will he be able to open his eyes again and see this world for himself

What is truly imprinted in Lin Qiye's mind, and cannot be erased, is His pair of eyes

However, for some unknown reason, starting from five years ago, his eyes seemed to undergo some changes, and he himself began to have a preliminary perception of his surroundings

As for brute force... even if Lin Qiye were to crash into pieces, that large iron gate would not budge an inch.

His brows furrowed slightly, the eyelids trembling over his eyes, as if he was making a concerted effort to open them, even his hands clenched into fists with exertion

Once again, this dream... Every night it knocks on the door, isn't it exhausting?" Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly and took a step forward.

A place that is inexplicable. Lin Qiye shook his head, stepped forward, and walked to the front of the large iron gate

He said he can see now, he lied

Those eyes, filled with divine power, burn with a furnace-like intensity, dazzling like the sun at close range

Da, da, da ... ...

Fortunately, in dreams, he does not feel tired; otherwise, his body would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago

Ding!

Lin Qiye did not seem surprised by this, nor was he angry; he continued to knock patiently.

Thus, Lin Qiye resembled a diligent worker, earnestly knocking on doors throughout the night

However, the main gate of this psychiatric hospital has remained tightly closed, and it cannot be opened under any circumstances

Over the past five years, he has profoundly realized the rules of this dream; apart from knocking on the door, no other means can open the large iron gate, and in this dream, apart from knocking on the door... it seems he can do nothing else.

It was late at night, and the scattered starlight outside the window fell onto the ground. In the dark room, Lin Qiye sat at the desk and slowly removed the black satin from his eyes

Behind him, six wings, exaggerated in size, spread wide, blocking the sunlight that was cast from behind, leaving a massive shadow on the silvery-gray ground

In the mirror on the desk, the reflection of a handsome young boy's face is seen

Lin Qiye is very good-looking. If he were to remove the black satin blindfold and tidy himself up a bit, combined with his inexplicable aloofness and profound aura, he would undoubtedly be a campus heartthrob.

A few drops of sweat trickled down Lin Qiye's cheek, and a surge of anger appeared between his brows

But as he lay on the bed, instinctively, that image resurfaced in his mind

His body trembled for a long time, and finally could not bear it any longer, suddenly relaxing and gasping for breath.

Ding!

It is as if modern architectural styles are intertwined with elements of temples from ancient mythology, creating a disjointed yet indescribably beautiful aesthetic

Why is it that every time, it falls just a little short

The time to truly open one's eyes is not far off

He did not turn on the light

For the past five years, he has had the same dream every night, and the protagonists of these dreams are the mysterious asylum of the gods.

Although he failed to open his eyes today, he could still clearly feel...

If a normal person can only see ten meters, then their eyes are essentially useless; however, for a boy who has lost his sight, these ten meters mean everything

That figure stands quietly there, as if it has existed since ancient times, radiating a sacred golden light, a majesty powerful enough to make all living beings prostrate on the ground

He saw those eyes, and in an instant, his world was left with nothing but darkness

This is strikingly similar to the Sunshine Mental Hospital where he lived for a year before, with the most compelling evidence being that the place where the words "Sunshine Mental Hospital" were originally written at the entrance has been replaced by another line of text

This is a youth's persistence

After washing up, Lin Qiye went to bed early as usual, preparing to sleep. His years of living as a blind person were not entirely without merit; at least he had developed the good habit of going to bed early

The most crucial aspect is that the ten meters he "sees" is ten meters that disregards obstacles

... ...

Once again, the iron gate remains closed

Upon returning to the room, Lin Qiye closed the door.

For example, the massive iron gate carved with deities from the heavens, for example, the electric lights that burn like fireballs, for example, the floating patterned tiles beneath one's feet

Five years ago, it was not only his body that began to change suddenly, but also his dreams

The surrounding mist rolled and swirled, seemingly endless. Clearly walking in the void, yet with each step Lin Qiye took, a crisp sound of collision echoed, as if there were an invisible ground beneath his feet

It is described as strange because, although it is clearly a modern-style building, certain details are infused with an air of mystery

At first, he could only see a few centimeters in front of him. However, as time passed, his ability to "see" extended further and became clearer. Now, five years later, the range he can "see" has reached ten meters.

So close ... just a little bit more!

Lin Qiye circled the mental hospital countless times, with only the large iron gate at the front serving as an entrance. Although the surrounding walls were not high, the most absurd thing was that every time Lin Qiye jumped, the height of the walls would increase accordingly

In the next moment, the surrounding mist rolled back, revealing a strangely styled modern building in front of Lin Qiye.

His eyes cannot be opened at all, not even a crack.

This feeling is quite marvelous, as if every part of my body has grown eyes, allowing me to perceive everything in all directions without any blind spots, and I can see more clearly and farther than with my original eyes

In the world of mist, Lin Qiye walked alone

Lin Qiye lowered his head to look at his own body and sighed

Unfortunately, he has been blindfolded with black satin for many years, and coupled with his identity as a person with a disability, it completely obscures his brilliance

The Asylum of the Gods

Ten years ago, he spoke the truth, yet he was diagnosed with a mental illness

Since he saw the Seraphim on the moon, he knew that this world... ... is by no means as simple as it appears

Beneath the dark cosmic canopy, on the desolate surface of the Moon, the grayish-white terrain reflects the dim starlight. In the center of the largest and deepest lunar crater stands a figure resembling a sculpture.

As the sound of the ancient bell echoed in the psychiatric hospital, the massive iron gate trembled slightly but did not open

Although possessing this almost superhuman power, Lin Qiye remains unsatisfied. While having an absolute field of vision of ten meters is advantageous, he yearns to see the world with his own eyes.

Knock on the door

This building is familiar to Lin Qiye, and it looks very recognizable.

one second, two seconds, three seconds ... ...

But he did not lie either

Because even with his eyes closed, he can clearly "see" everything around him

Lin Qiye grasped the circular ring on the large iron gate, took a deep breath, and struck the surface of the gate forcefully.

At first, he was unable to do so. During the first five years after losing his sight, he was no different from other truly blind individuals, relying solely on sound and the guide cane in his hand to perceive the world.

The source of this ability seems to be the eyes that have been tightly closed beneath the black satin for ten years

But he knows best in his heart what is real and what is delusion
