After hearing this story, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh.
He turned to look at the yard, and saw Gilgamesh standing silently and alone under the shade of a tree, with mottled light spots shining on his gray robe. He looked up at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Thank you." Lin Qiye turned around and smiled slightly at Merlin.
Merlin waved his hand, "I just told a story. Next, we have to see the dean."
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked at the fragment in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he walked straight towards Gilgamesh under the shade of the tree.
Knowing Gilgamesh's past and combining it with his illness, Lin Qiye could basically infer that his illness was related to the destruction of the Kingdom of Uruk. The next thing to do was to test Gilgamesh and see.
From which angle is it better to start treatment?
Gilgamesh, under the shade of a tree, noticed Lin Qiye's approach, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke again in a condescending manner:
"If you want to find me to confess your sins, it is already too late. Sooner or later, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame and exposed to the public for nine days."
"..." Lin Qiye was speechless for a moment, and then said: "I came here to show you something."
"Huh?" Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows, "Send it up and show it to me."
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and handed the fragment in his palm to Gilgamesh. As soon as the latter lowered his head and saw the fragment, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He stood there like a stone sculpture.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, Gilgamesh suddenly raised his head, stared into Lin Qiye's eyes, and spoke word by word:
"You... broke the keystone?"
Lin Qiye was stunned.
In an instant, the terrifying divine power exploded with Gilgamesh as the center, sweeping across the entire mental hospital. The raging wind blew the gray robes, and an unprecedented killing intent spurted out.
Sun Wukong, who had just walked back to the ward, suddenly stopped and frowned tightly.
He turned his head to look in the direction of the yard, his eyes filled with anger again.
"court death?"
His body swayed, turning into an afterimage and flying quickly towards Gilgamesh in the courtyard. He reached out and reached for his ears, and his violent divine power stirred up again.
At this moment, a hand rested on his shoulder.
Sun Wukong, who was moving at high speed, was startled, stopped suddenly, and looked back.
At some point, Merlin stood calmly behind him, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, he will be fine."
…
courtyard.
Gilgamesh's aura was rising steadily. He held the fragment in one hand, trembling slightly, and held it in the void with the other hand. The golden sword of royal power fell into his hand, the sword tip straight.
Zhi Lin Qiye, full of murderous intent!
"The seal is the symbol of Uruk. Anyone who destroys the seal...will be killed without mercy!"
Amidst the tumbling divine power, Lin Qiye stood there calmly: "It wasn't me who broke it, it was the ancient war and the endless years."
Gilgamesh spoke solemnly, "Uruk will never be annihilated by ridiculous wars and years. It is the most powerful country in the world, and it is the country created by this king!"
When Lin Qiye heard this, he closed his eyes helplessly.
He probably figured out Gilgamesh's illness...
This tyrant who single-handedly created the glory of Uruk, but also foresaw its destruction and was unable to recover from it, buried his memory deep in his heart in unwillingness and anger, thus creating another memory.
Rooted in consciousness.
This aspect is very similar to Lin Qiye back then.
After the Cangnan catastrophe, Lin Qiye's soul was severely overdrawn. Coupled with the heavy blow of losing his relatives and friends, he subconsciously escaped from reality and substituted himself into the false illusion created by the [Mortal God Realm], sinking for a long time.
If it weren't for the trace of strength left by Yuanshi Tianzun, if it weren't for the treatment at the Yangguan Mental Hospital in the fasting center, he didn't know how long it would take him to get out of it.
Gilgamesh also created a memory, a false memory that Uruk had not yet died and was still prosperous in the world. He himself did not die of old age, but sought eternal life and continued to lead this magnificent and powerful country.
But to some extent, his illness was much more serious than that of Lin Qiye back then.
In Gilgamesh's eyes, even though it was obvious that this mental hospital no longer existed in Uruk, and even though the caregivers walking in it did not look like his people, he was still subconsciously revising his cognition.
Everything is forced back to the false memory track and the status quo is maintained.
In his mind, this place is still his Uruk, and the people living here should be his people as a matter of course.
He failed to seek eternal life, failed to save his city and people, and his sense of powerlessness and guilt crushed his aloof self-esteem. He could only make up for the shortcomings in his heart in this false memory.
.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes and stared into Gilgamesh's furious eyes, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." Lin Qiye said slowly, "Your kingdom has been dead for a long time..."
"Nonsense!!" Gilgamesh roared angrily, his gray robe flashed in an instant, and the golden sword in his hand was already slashing at Lin Qiye's neck, but it was like slashing on a golden stone, unable to save even a cent.
Luke...will not die!"
Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. He suddenly raised his hand, held the golden sword of royal power with his bare hands, and moved it away from his neck. At the same time, he grabbed Gil with his other hand.
Gamesh's collar pulled him in front of him.
With a thought, all the fluctuations of Gilgamesh's divine power disappeared, and the terrifying aura raging in the hospital also disappeared without a trace.
"Gilgamesh, what is the relationship between Uruk and you?" Lin Qiye pulled his collar and asked word by word.
Gilgamesh glared at Lin Qiye and said naturally: "I am the king of Uruk!"
"You are the king of Uruk." Lin Qiye repeated, "When you were alive, you had the courage to lead Uruk across the world, the courage to defeat the two gods as a demigod, and the courage to pursue mortals.
eternal life...
Now, look at yourself!"
Lin Qiye held Gilgamesh's collar tightly and violently pushed him back half a step, "You are the oldest and most famous king in history! But now, do you not even have the courage to face history squarely?
Your country has turned into sand, your people have returned to dust, and your glory has been shattered by the Kingdom of God!
Aren't you a tyrant? Aren't you a king of heroes?
Now you have a new opportunity, you are back, but what are you doing?
A coward who hides in his own imagination and only dares to be arrogant to others...is he worthy of being king?"
