The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 154 Special circumstances
Michael had doubts about this, so he added a lot of high-precision tests to Jiang Hui's tests, and even used his authority to access the military's clinical instruments, all in order to accurately detect the data and results this time.

The final results confirmed that Jiang Hui indeed had an enclosed brain region. This was evident from both her symptoms and the brain's magnetic field response; there was no doubt about it.

—But her closed brain region is different from that of a typical closed brain region.

Based on Michael's detection of the flow of mental energy magnetic field, Jiang Hui's brain does indeed have symptoms that limit the release and level of mental energy. However, this limitation is stable and inherent, rather than a sequela caused by brain mutation or imbalance in brain state.

Some people wonder what "inherent existence" means. If everything is a limitation, is it divided into inherent, or something else entirely?
To put it simply, in the vast majority of clinical cases, closed brain regions are caused by acquired brain injury or imbalances in brain function, leading to a disorder of the power system. Once it develops, it is extremely difficult to adjust and is highly unstable, easily causing adverse effects on the mental system.

This type of closed-off state represents "forced isolation" and "instability." Furthermore, if bad luck strikes again and another mutation occurs, it could potentially transform into another form of mental abnormality.

Jiang Hui's case is different. Her closed-off brain region seems to be caused by the brain's structure and inherent special magnetic field. Although it's unknown whether it's congenital or acquired, it's certain that it's stable and almost impossible for it to change or worsen. Of course, this is also difficult to adjust or cure, because essentially it's not a treatable symptom; once discovered, it may be a lifelong condition.

In Michael's hundreds of years of medical practice, this was the first case of its kind he had encountered. Of course, there were other similar cases in the history of the empire; he had once seen a case book in the archives of the capital's military academy, which contained several similar cases, and the protagonists were all extraordinary individuals.

Therapist Michael simply never expected to encounter such a rare case firsthand. From a therapist's perspective, this therapeutic journey, which began with compassion and taking time out of his busy schedule, was well worth the trip.

After explaining the key point about the closed-off brain region, the old therapist also gave a general explanation of Jiang Hui's current brain magnetic field and the recovery status of his overdrawn mental energy, leaving no room for ambiguity.

The meeting room was quiet. The three people in the group all looked solemn and listened attentively, though it was unclear whether they understood everything.

Of course, not everyone listens and takes notes silently like Jiang Hui and Stark, thinking before asking questions. Someone, relying on his relatively close relationship with the old therapist, directly asked his doubts: "So, according to you, how should this child's... that closed brain region be treated? I've been listening to you for a long time, but it seems like you haven't gotten to the point..." Nie Erqi scratched his head.

A moment of silence fell over the air. Three people, six eyes, stared at him expressionlessly, making him feel uneasy, as if he had asked something he shouldn't have.

Therapist Michael glared at the other man with annoyance: "I know you've always been a bit of a simpleton. I thought you'd improve as you got older, but after all these years in the military, you haven't improved at all. Where has all your time gone? Have you even been listening to me properly? Even little kids can understand this, and you have the nerve to ask?!"

Jiang Hui didn't quite understand everything, but she grasped the main points. Moreover, the other person would glance at her whenever they mentioned something important, perhaps to accommodate her as the actual patient.

Nie Erqi, who had been scolded for no reason, was like a dog with its neck being grabbed, and dared not say anything. It was obvious that he had been scolded by his grandfather a lot when he was a child.

Michael gave him a stern lecture, but still managed to explain, or rather, give Jiang Huiru and the others a clear answer. Simply put, there was no treatment needed, and no way to treat it. Jiang Huiru's case was a rare one; he couldn't be sure of any negative consequences and dared not attempt treatment lightly.

Although she fits the characteristics of an inward-closing brain, her mental energy output, usage, and bursts are all normal. Jiang Hui can output mental energy below her normal level, and at certain points, she can also unleash super-strong mental energy levels, making her virtually indistinguishable from a normal person. The only difference is that the detection of her mental energy level is somewhat unstable and inaccurate; everything else is normal.

So what's the point of treatment? Just keep doing what you normally do.

Lu Jin actually misdiagnosed Jiang Hui. He was too young and relied entirely on the academy's teachings, lacking the ability to think flexibly. Upon discovering that Jiang Hui had an enclosed brain region, he naturally assumed the worst-case scenario. But the fact is that Jiang Hui's condition was special, an exception, and difficult to use as a reference.

Those who fully understood were all jolted awake and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that everything is alright. Actually, the brain is an extremely delicate organ, and even if it can be treated, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, both Jiang Hui and Stark were somewhat uneasy when they came. Now that the other party has told her that no additional treatment is needed, it's naturally all the better.

Seeing that Jiang Hui seemed to have completely breathed a sigh of relief, Michael had to interrupt her optimism and remind her, "But don't think that everything is fine now."

“Your case is special, and there are few references for ordinary situations. I can only make inferences and analyses based on your current mental strength data, and I cannot guarantee that it will continue to be the same in the future. According to the mental strength slope imprint chart, a strange situation has also occurred in your use of mental strength.”

"When your mental energy is overdrawn to a certain point, there will be a small, peculiar breakpoint. At this point, no data is captured, and immediately after the breakpoint, a small amount of mental energy flows back quickly. This is strange because it is impossible for mental energy to flow back when it is overdrawn. It is impossible for such an abnormal increase to occur until it is replenished in some way. I suspect that this is also due to the special structure of your brain."

"...Alas, this is too tricky. There are too few clinical cases at present, and I really cannot draw an accurate conclusion in a short time. You will still have to keep an eye on it yourself in the future."

Overdraft, breakpoint, strange backflow... something felt rather subtle when strung together, a thought flashed through Jiang Hui's mind.

Her mental energy flowed back without any replenishment, and this situation of creating something out of nothing easily reminded her of several memorable instances of binge eating in her mental space.

I think I'm probably really writing a guide for myself to travel through time (>﹏<) What kind of pseudoscience is this? I'm sorry everyone, I know some people will definitely scold me for writing this kind of explanatory text, but this is really not filler, but is to describe the female protagonist's complicated and strange golden finger.
