Chapter 854: Gilgamesh's Illness
"That's ...... so"
After listening to this story, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh.
He turned his head to look into the courtyard, and saw Gilgamesh standing alone in silence in the shade of the trees, dappled spots of light shining on his gray robes, and he looked up at the distant sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Thank you." Lin Qiye turned his head and smiled at Merlin.
Merlin waved his hand, "I'm just telling a story, and the rest is up to Your Excellency the Dean." ”
Lin Qiye looked down at the fragment in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and walked straight towards Gilgamesh under the shade of the tree.
Knowing Gilgamesh's past, combined with his illness, Lin Qiye can basically deduce that his heart disease is related to the destruction of the Uruk Kingdom, and the next thing to do is to test Gilgamesh and see which angle is better to start treatment.
Gilgamesh, who was in the shade of the tree, sensed Lin Qiye's approach, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke again in a condescending manner:
"If you want to go to this king to confess your sins, it is too late, and sooner or later you will be crucified on the pillar of shame and displayed in public for nine days."
"......" Lin Qiye was speechless for a moment, but still spoke: "I came to show you something." ”
"Huh?" Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow, "Present it to the king." ”
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and handed the fragment in his palm to Gilgamesh, who had just lowered his head and saw the fragment, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He stood there like a stone sculpture.
Lin Qiye was about to say something, but Gilgamesh raised his head suddenly, stared at Lin Qiye's eyes, and said word by word:
"You...... Smashed the wedge stone? ”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
In an instant, the terrifying divine power exploded around Gilgamesh, sweeping through the entire mental hospital, and the surging wind blew the gray robe to hunt, and an unprecedented killing intent erupted.
Sun Wukong, who had just walked back to the ward, suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed tightly.
He turned his head to look in the direction of the courtyard, and his eyes rose to anger again,
"Looking for death?"
His body flickered, turned into an afterimage, and flew quickly towards Gilgamesh in the courtyard, reaching out to his ear, and the violent divine power stirred again.
At that moment, a palm rested on his shoulder.
Sun Wukong, who was moving at high speed, was stunned, stopped suddenly, and looked back.
I didn't know when, Merlin was already standing behind him calmly, smiling at him and saying, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." ”
……
Yard.
Gilgamesh's momentum continued to rise, he held the fragment in one hand, trembling slightly, and with the other hand in the void, the golden sword of royal power fell into his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lin Qiye, overflowing with murderous intent!
"The wedge is the symbol of Uruk, and whoever destroys it...... No mercy! ”
In the midst of 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, "Uruk will never be annihilated by ridiculous wars and years, it is the most powerful kingdom in the world, it is the kingdom created by this king!" ”
When Lin Qiye heard this, he closed his eyes helplessly.
He probably figured out Gilgamesh's illness......
The tyrant who single-handedly created the glory of Uruk, but foresaw its destruction and was powerless to return to the sky, in his reluctance and anger, buried his memory in the depths of his heart, thus creating another memory, rooted in consciousness.
This is very similar to Lin Qiye back then.
After the Cangnan catastrophe, Lin Qiye's soul was seriously overdrawn, coupled with the heavy blow of losing relatives and friends, he subconsciously escaped from reality, substituted himself into the false illusion created by the [Mortal Dust God Domain], and sank for a long time.
If it weren't for the trace of strength left by Yuan Shi Tianzun, if it weren't for the treatment at the Yangguan Psychiatric 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 of Uruk's still flourishing in the world, and he himself did not die of old age, but sought eternal life and continued to rule this magnificent and powerful kingdom.
But to some extent, his illness was much worse than Lin Qiye back then.
In Gilgamesh's eyes, even though it was obvious that the psychiatric hospital did not exist in Uruk, even if the nurses walking in it did not look like his people, he was still subconsciously modifying his cognition, forcibly turning everything back into a false memory trajectory, and forcibly maintaining the status quo.
In his consciousness, this is still his Uruk, and the people who live here should be his people as a matter of course.
He failed to ask for eternal life, failed to save his city-state and people, and his sense of powerlessness and guilt crushed his arrogant self-esteem, and he could only make up for the shortcomings in his heart in this false memory.
Lin Qiye opened his eyes and stared at Gilgamesh's angry eyes, a touch of sympathy appeared in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." Lin Qiye slowly spoke, "Your kingdom has been dead for a long time......
"Nonsense!!" Gilgamesh roared angrily, the gray robe flashed instantly, and the golden long sword in his hand had already slashed at Lin Qiye's neck, but it was like slashing on the golden stone, unable to save half a point, "Uruk...... It won't die! ”
Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the golden sword of royal power with his bare hand, and removed it from his neck, while grabbing Gilgamesh's collar with his other hand and dragging him in front of him.
With a movement of his mind, Gilgamesh's divine power fluctuations disappeared, and the terrifying aura that raged in the hospital 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 angrily, and said as a matter of course: "This king is the king of Uruk!" ”
"You are the king of Uruk." Lin Qiye repeated, "When you were alive, you had the courage to sweep the Quartet with Uruk, the courage to shake the two gods with the body of a demigod, and the courage to pursue the immortality of mortals......
Now, look at yourself! ”
Lin Qiye grabbed Gilgamesh's collar tightly and shook it back half a step, "You are the oldest and most prestigious king in history!" But now, don't you even have the courage to face history?
Your country has been turned to sand, your people have been reduced to dust, and your splendor has been shattered by the kingdom of God!
Aren't you a tyrant? Aren't you the king of heroes?
Now you have a new opportunity, you're back, but what are you doing?
A coward who hides in his own imagination and only dares to be arrogant to others...... Also worthy of being king? ”
