Chapter 246: Secret Meeting in the Ward
Lin Ye gazed at the sky that looked like it had been pixelated with mosaic, completely unsure of what he should do.
Summoning the Abyssal Evil God was the final card he could play, and now that this card couldn't be used, he couldn't think of anything else to do at the moment.
If it weren't for Little Red's indifferent attitude, Lin Ye would have already committed suicide by now. After all, once the battle above concluded, whether he could even kill himself would no longer be his decision.
'Changing the ritual path... Leaving aside whether it's even possible to change it, the question is who could I even call over?'
Lin Ye did know some individuals much stronger than himself, but he wasn't sure if they could handle this situation, since the things above looked quite intimidating.
"You seem to be in trouble."
Little Ye suddenly appeared beside Lin Ye, joining him in watching the chaotic, magnificent war raging in the sky.
"How did you get here?"
Lin Ye didn't think Little Ye could participate in the battle above—she was even younger than Caroline.
"The sixth creature you summoned is an acquaintance of mine. I sensed the situation here and came along with it." Little Ye had been observing from the corner until the fighting above intensified, when she finally dared to appear by Lin Ye's side.
"Is it helping me? Then should I just pray for its victory?"
Lin Ye hadn't expected to summon an ally.
"Not it. It hates material beings. If it didn't have proper business to attend to, it might just kill you directly."
Little Ye couldn't stop that kind of monster.
"...Can't these damned things be a bit friendlier to me? I'm the one who summoned them here, after all. Do you know which summoned creature is protecting me?"
Lin Ye sighed, feeling that this protection might not necessarily be a good thing.
"It's that Phantom occupying the entire sky. Its rules are somewhat similar to your talent ability. If not for the system, it could even directly cancel out your talent ability. So it won't give you any chance to alter the outcome—this isn't protection, but imprisonment. Once the battle above ends, it will come to deal with you. It's very interested in your talent ability."
Little Ye could perceive more information, so she naturally understood Lin Ye's situation better than he did.
"So I can't even kill myself now?"
Although Lin Ye had long suspected this possibility, Little Red's relaxed demeanor had made him misjudge the situation.
"Mm, but it's fine because you've already made preparations, and I'm here too."
Little Ye admired Lin Ye—no matter how dire the situation became, this man always held an ace up his sleeve to solve problems.
That Phantom above simply couldn't predict what would happen if it pressured Lin Ye, because it wasn't a deity and couldn't comprehend how deities influence Fate.
"What do I need to do?"
Lin Ye finally understood why Little Red had left so directly—with Little Ye here, there was no need for Little Red to intervene.
"Activate the ritual you prepared earlier. Leave the ritual target for me to decide."
Little Ye was more skilled than Lin Ye at locating spiritual coordinates through the mental world.
"Who are you calling?"
Lin Ye directly triggered the summoning ritual he had prepared earlier.
"Didn't you want to conduct risk hedging? This happens to be a perfect opportunity. As the proposer of the plan, I think she should help you out."
Little Ye directly connected to a certain spiritual coordinate. The surroundings transformed, perspective shifted, and Lin Ye suddenly found himself sitting beside a hospital bed.
The young girl leaned expressionlessly against the hospital bed while peeling a pineapple. She disliked going out, especially being suddenly pulled outside with a bunch of damned things fighting overhead.
"Why a pineapple?"
Lin Ye asked curiously. Shouldn't it usually be an apple?
"You don't like eating apples, right?"
The young girl carved the pineapple into rabbit shapes, placed them on a plate, and handed it to Lin Ye. The little yellow rabbits looked up at Lin Ye with curiosity.
"Yeah, I don't like hard fruits... This is the first time someone has peeled fruit for me."
Even if the fruit-peeler was leaning against a hospital bed.
"I know. If you want to eat fruit in the future, you can come find me. I'm quite free. Next time I can use a watermelon to carve some Mia shapes for you."
This was one of the young girl's hobbies.
"These are carved really well."
Little Ye snatched the plate and directly poured the little yellow rabbits into her mouth, orange-yellow juice dripping from the corners of her lips.
"How barbaric. You should swap genders with Lin Ye."
The young girl didn't mind at all, taking out another pineapple from nearby.
"I don't want to become female. Shouldn't we get to business? They're still fighting up there."
Lin Ye felt the conversation was heading in a dangerous direction and hurriedly interjected.
"The people haven't all arrived yet. You didn't think this patient who can't even leave the asylum could solve the problem alone, did you?"
Little Ye had already located the spiritual coordinates, but the other party still needed to make some preparations.
"Of course I could solve it, but with such a grand scene unfolding, you're not just thinking about solving the problem, are you?"
The young girl was in quite a good mood. She acknowledged Lin Ye's problem-solving abilities, so she needed Lin Ye to help her with some issues. But the current Lin Ye still fell somewhat short, which was why she had proposed the Risk Hedging Plan.
This plan was just one of her conceptions, but it wasn't necessarily impossible to realize.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over. I've already found suitable hedging items—now we just need an appropriate stage."
After communicating with Lin Ye last time, Little Ye had found her friend, who happened to want to get rid of a rather unfriendly special relic.
"The Dreamrealm is the perfect stage. Fortunately, the Dreamrealm has already recorded your spiritual imprint, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help you create a suitable stage, especially one that needs to include all those actors up there."
The young girl felt somewhat fortunate—she hadn't expected Lin Ye to need the Dreamrealm so soon.
Now she also felt what Little Ye had experienced before—some people simply don't disappoint when they're needed.
"You mean I have to enter the same dream world as those damned things above?"
And most of those damned things above wanted to kill him.
Lin Ye really disliked this proposal, but he couldn't refuse since they were here to help him. He could only look expectantly at Little Ye.
"Excellent, what a wonderful stage. I didn't expect you to be so reliable."
Little Ye returned the plate to the young girl—the stage she had prepared satisfied Little Ye immensely.
"Am I late, senior?"
The junior wearing a gray long dress appeared at the hospital room doorway.
"Not at all, you came at just the right time, Little Gray. Didn't you want to get rid of that Gray World relic? Lin Ye says he wants to take it."
Little Ye had already planned out the entire scheme. In many aspects, she and Lin Ye were quite similar.
"Really? But last time senior explicitly refused my gift. I had prepared it carefully for a long time."
The junior pretended to be very troubled.
"...Please give me that Gray World relic. I truly want it very much."
Under the gazes of Little Ye and the young girl, Lin Ye said through gritted teeth.
