Chapter 108: Flickering Night

Could it really be brought out?

Lin QiYe stood frozen, gazing at NiKesi, who seemed like a completely different person under the night sky. She no longer resembled the dazed patient from the hospital... now, she appeared to be a true deity.

A look of confusion appeared on NiKesi's flawless face as she walked to the edge of the building, gazing at the quiet training camp below and the distant, dazzling city lights. Slowly, she spoke:

"Is this your divine realm, Danadus?"

Lin QiYe shook his head. "This isn't a divine realm. It's the real world."

"The world?" NiKesi tilted her head, pointing to the brightly lit city in the distance. "But... this... this is clearly a divine realm."

Lin QiYe sighed, not wanting to argue further about divine realms with a god who had an ancient mindset and mental issues. Instead, he walked over to her side and asked, "How does it feel to be out?"

"It's big, beautiful, but... not as warm as home," NiKesi thought for a moment before adding, "But since it's your divine realm, I like it no matter what."

Lin QiYe was first stunned for a second, then realized that when NiKesi referred to "home," she meant that small mental hospital.

"Too bad. I can't leave this training camp yet, otherwise I would show you around. There's a lot of interesting things in modern cities," Lin QiYe said, shaking his head with some regret.

"This is your divine realm. Why can't you leave?" NiKesi asked.

"Well... it's the rule."

"Do you want to go outside?"

"Can you take me?"

"Under this night sky, I can take you anywhere," NiKesi said, pointing to the sky above.

"Has your divine power recovered?"

"Not yet, but for just ordinary flickers of the night sky, I can still do it."

Lin QiYe's gaze shifted to the distant city, and after hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke: "Yes, I want to go somewhere. Once I'm done, I'll come back."

"Of course, my child." NiKesi smiled, reaching out and grabbing Lin QiYe's wrist. "Imagine the place in your mind, and I'll take you there."

Lin QiYe slowly closed his eyes, and a small, old house appeared in his mind.

The next moment, a dense nightfall spread from their position, and their figures vanished in an instant.

...

"Smash—!!"

Inside the training camp, Yuan Gang, who had been sipping tea, suddenly froze, and the cup slipped from his hand, shattering into many pieces!

"A divine presence?!" He shot up from his seat and turned to look at the top of the dormitory building, his eyes wide with disbelief. "How could this be... how could a divine presence appear here?!"

After struggling for a moment, he grabbed the knife from his bedside and dashed out the door like lightning.

He streaked through the silent night, pulling out his phone as he ran, dialing a number.

"Hello?"

"Captain, something's wrong!" Yuan Gang's voice was serious.

Hearing his tone, Shao Pingge on the other end of the line stopped his casual demeanor and asked solemnly, "What happened?"

"Divine energy just appeared inside the training camp in Cangnan City," Yuan Gang said urgently.

"What?" Shao Pingge's face changed. "Which god?"

"I don't know, but the energy... it doesn't match any known god. I suspect this might be an entirely new god we've never observed."

"I see. Don't act rashly. I'll report to the Commander and see if we can send a top human expert there."

"Understood."

After hanging up, Yuan Gang rushed toward the dormitory building, reaching the spot where Lin QiYe and NiKesi had stood just moments ago. He stood on the rooftop, scanning the surroundings, his brow furrowed.

"Where did they go..."

...

"Mom, let me wash the remaining dishes."

"No need, go do your homework."

"It's fine, Mom. I've already finished my homework. You worked the night shift so late; you should rest early today." Yang Jin reached out and took the dishes from his aunt, saying gently.

His aunt stood with empty hands, shaking her head helplessly. "You're just like your brother—too considerate."

At this moment, she paused and looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, murmuring, "I wonder how that child is doing now..."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Yang Jin replied with a smile.

His aunt sighed and nodded.

"Alright, Mom, leave it to me. You go sleep."

"Okay, you should sleep early too."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

His aunt went back to her room, closing the door behind her. In the narrow living room, the only sound was Yang Jin washing the dishes. The little black dog lay at his feet, yawning.

On the roof of the adjacent building, a shadow of night quietly descended.

Smash—!!

"Awoooo—!!!"

A plate slipped from Yang Jin's hand and crashed to the floor with a sharp, piercing sound.

Yang Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light, but it quickly disappeared. He stomped on the little black dog, glaring at it, and it immediately stopped barking.

However, its eyes remained fixed on the distant building, its teeth bared, as though facing an enemy.

"Another Western god? How could my brother be near it..." Yang Jin mumbled to himself, kicking the little black dog again. It whimpered and obediently lay back down.

"What's wrong?" His aunt hurried out from the room, seeing the broken plates scattered on the floor. She quickly ran to Yang Jin's side. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Just slipped," Yang Jin smiled awkwardly, picking up a broom to clean up the mess.

"I'll do it, the shards are sharp. Don't hurt yourself!"

"It's okay, I can do it."

...

From the distance, Lin QiYe quietly watched this scene, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"This guy, when I'm not home, he becomes so clumsy..."

NiKesi, standing next to him, glanced at Yang Jin with confusion and asked, "Is he your friend?"

Lin QiYe shook his head. "He's family."

"Family?" NiKesi's confusion deepened.

"Yes."

Lin QiYe observed for a moment, then sighed. "Alright, let's head back."

"Already?" NiKesi asked, her brow raised.

"We shouldn't stay away too long," Lin QiYe answered.

"Alright, I'll follow you."

NiKesi nodded, once again grabbing Lin QiYe's wrist. The night sky flickered, and their figures disappeared from sight.

Back in the small house, after finishing cleaning up the shattered dishes, Yang Jin lifted his head slightly, looking toward the direction where the two had vanished, lost in thought...
