The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 153 Doubts
It's really embarrassing for those two guys, who're both in their seventies or eighties combined, to be out there getting all sentimental about this and that...

Nie Erqi patted his friend on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the child is quite lucky to have the old man treat her. He's much more reliable than all those so-called famous doctors in the central star system."

Stark nodded almost imperceptibly, it was unclear whether he had taken it all in.

"But how did this child get to know the healer Michael? The old man has been very busy these past few years, rarely seen. My grandfather tried to make an appointment with him many times but couldn't. I never expected him to be here in the resident star system."

Stark shook his head; he really didn't know that. When he met Jiang Hui, it seemed that Jiang Hui had already been in contact with Grandpa Michael.

He didn't think much of it at first. After all, who would have thought that the disciple of that renowned high-level healer would be working as a school doctor in a school on such a remote planet? It really shows how small the world is.

But who can say Jiang Hui is lucky? At such a young age, not even fully awakened, her brain has been repeatedly traumatized. If she happens to gain the favor of this high-level therapist because of this, it might actually be a good thing.

Both of these elders, who had survived countless battles, fell silent.

Time passed in this strange silence, so long that the already faint sounds of people upstairs and downstairs faded to almost nothing. It was now late at night when Michael finally brought Jiang Hui out of the special testing room.

The elderly therapist held a thick document in his hand, his brow furrowed in thought, seemingly too preoccupied to exchange pleasantries. Jiang Hui, on the other hand, looked utterly exhausted, whether from fatigue or sleepiness was unclear.

Seeing this, they knew the test results were probably worse than they had imagined. The two exchanged a glance and quickly followed Michael to the adjacent meeting room.

Michael slammed the thick stack of documents onto the table and used his fingertips to access a file on the shared system in the meeting room.

Jiang Hui looked at it; it was covered with dense data and text descriptions, including many completely incomprehensible terms and images and models built from the data. In short, he couldn't understand it very well.

Of course, Michael didn't expect outsiders to understand these complicated data, so he went straight to the point and explained it to the group.

"Ms. Jiang, you should still remember what I said to you more than a month ago."

Jiang Hui nodded. It was the first major event she had faced since arriving in interstellar space, and one so closely related to the health of her own body, so it left a very deep impression on her.

Michael sighed deeply, like an ordinary elder worrying about the younger generation, a hint of helplessness crossing his brow.

"You're a very cooperative and restrained patient. I've reviewed your follow-up records, and you've recovered very well. There's no sign of overexerting your mental energy, which shows you followed the doctor's advice diligently during that month to recover from the brain abnormality." "However, you seem to have lacked a bit of luck; it seems some other problem has arisen." Michael clicked on one of the graphs, which resembled multiple parallel lines, zoomed in, and pointed to a prominent point. That was the beginning of Jiang Hui's brain abnormality reappearing—she was diagnosed with an enclosed brain region.

Actually, when Michael examined Jiang Hui more than a month ago, he didn't find any symptoms related to closed brain regions. There was only a slight impact on brain function, but after a month of adjustments, it should be fine.

Jiang Hui's data from her two follow-up visits were both normal, and her mental strength even improved slightly. She remained normal until the start of the new semester.

The opening exam was a turning point. The data collected from Lu Jin clearly showed that, based on the changes in Jiang Hui's mental energy transmission and reception and various brain data collected that day, she indeed exhibited symptoms of an internalized brain region, and to a considerable degree. Even with highly precise instruments, it was impossible to accurately detect the upper limit of the mental energy reserves within Jiang Hui's brain.

This is a person with extremely high spiritual potential who has not yet fully awakened. However, her current situation does not seem so optimistic, and even appears somewhat precarious due to the unknown.

At that time, Michael had already returned to the central star system due to work issues. He was looking through the students' urgent reports on this matter during his spare time when he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Michael dedicated his life to the medical profession, treating countless soldiers. He also harbored a special affection for this not-yet-fully-awakened individual, who possessed undeniable talent and was clearly likely to follow a similar path in the future. Unable to bear seeing him perish prematurely in an inconspicuous corner, he left a message for Lu Jin saying he would find time in a month to travel to Star 732 for another consultation with Jiang Hui.

Little did he know that in less than a month, the child would encounter a series of new problems. While it wasn't quite adding insult to injury, it had completely disrupted his brain's state. The exact nature of the closed-loop brain was still uncertain, but he was certain that this guy would need another round of mental and brain balance adjustments to treat the damage caused by mental exhaustion.

Michael couldn't help but want to give her a scolding, but then he remembered that the student's description of the several accidents seemed to be against her wishes, so he didn't make things difficult for her with words.

He began to analyze the mental energy peak chart for the group based on the data.

Judging from all the peaks and trends, her mental strength is clearly on the rise. Although the overall increase is not large, it is abnormal for a person who has completed the second awakening but is not fully awakened, because it represents an unstable anomaly.

The entire chart shows that the highest points correspond to several events: the start-of-school test, field training, and the ambush. The peak that was ambushed shows the steepest slope, rising sharply before plummeting like a cliff, with its highest point even exceeding the A-level range, demonstrating extremely impressive explosive power.

This data was collected using an interceptor and should be highly accurate.

It was precisely because this data was accurate that Michael had doubts. According to the test conducted at the beginning of the semester, Jiang Hui's brain had already formed a closed-off magnetic field, and she even needed equipment to release the mental power that belonged to her level of mental strength.

However, both the training exercise and the ambush incident revealed a significant release of mental energy, and the intensity of this released mental energy was not low. This is clearly inconsistent with the typical symptoms of an enclosed brain region, while almost all cases of enclosed brain regions in clinical practice show characteristics of restricted mental energy release and restricted mental energy levels.

Could it be that Jiang Hui doesn't have an enclosed brain region... or that Lu Jin misdiagnosed her?
