Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Remedy Plan_1

"Let me go over this again..."

Lu Xiang took out paper and a pen and meticulously recorded everything Song Lan had just explained in chronological order, "Professor Myles discovered Amberville’s brain when he was young along with his research team, and somehow managed to activate his consciousness. Then they created a consciousness enhancer in the Seventh District and placed his brain inside it."

According to Song Lan, it was a colossal statue equipped with sophisticated instruments on the inside.

This also matched the content of news reports, where people who discovered the Alien Ruin found a damaged colossus inside the black Pyramid; they suspected that the colossus very likely represented a ruler or a Deity in the extraterrestrial belief system.

"Professor Myles’ assistant somehow got wind of this and conspired with the Psychic Abilities Institute to reclaim Professor Myles’ knowledge. They perhaps induced the professor’s suicide in some way, but the Psychic Research Institute had no intention of keeping their promise. They planted some virus in the androids at the café, which killed the assistant."

"But all this was discovered by Angle Saffire, who was investigating the case. He broke into the scene, only to be attacked by Hanna because the higher-ups of the Special Case Investigation Bureau wanted the matter to end there..."

These seemingly unrelated institutions appeared as if they were strung together by fate.

Yet, this still failed to explain those Shadows imprisoned within the black Pyramid.

Professor Myles feared them, so he created the colossus to guard them within the Pyramid and secretly cultivated beings capable of confronting those Shadows for the United Government.

At the same time, he seemed to have prophesied many years ago that someone was bound to release those guarded "demons."

"It seems like they even recognize you, believing you to be one of them."

Lu Xiang clarified her thoughts and identified the most intriguing part of the whole affair, "If things are as expected, you are the person prophesied by Professor Myles."

Unlike most prophecies, however, the role Song Lan plays in it is not that of a hero but a super-villain who releases those Shadows. If this were Kolo Film Industry’s "Rescuer Alliance" series, he would likely be a Black Hand that orchestrates events across the entire universe.

"But I don’t know them."

"You might have known them before."

Lu Xiang shared her thoughts, "Since you believe your memory has been tampered with, your life in the welfare institute is no longer reliable."

After returning to the Seventeenth District, she intended to visit the welfare institute where Song Lan supposedly "lived" before—perhaps they could find something there.

But for now, they had to stay in the Seventh District.

Because of the discovery of the Alien Ruin, the United Government had locked down the entire city, forcing it into an emergency state of readiness.

But anyone with clear sight could tell that the Alien Ruin was not the real reason; the order was issued far too quickly. The only explanation was that the Review Meeting bypassed the voting process and issued the lockdown order directly. Not only that, but they also sent three Six-Star rescuers.

This amply demonstrated their anxiety over the entities that had escaped from the Pyramid, fearing that they would leave the Seventh District and go elsewhere.

"There’s another explanation—those three Six-Star rescuers might have come for you as well."

Lu Xiang added.

At the time of the Pyramid’s collapse, passing students witnessed a person dressed in a black coat who looked like a concerned citizen, and on the train transporting Angle Saffire, agents of the Special Case Investigation Bureau also confirmed this.

"Anyway, I’ve been lying in bed all day today and haven’t gone anywhere."

Song Lan spread his hands out, lying flat on the dormitory’s large bed.

Since the lockdown order had been issued, all students had been prohibited from leaving the campus. All course activities ceased, and the students returned to their respective dorms to wait for further notice.

"I want to take a walk around."

Lu Xiang suggested they were not students of Morning Star Academy and didn’t need to stay in their dorms like the students, "If those shadows are hiding somewhere in this city right now, maybe we’ll encounter them... I heard Hanna’s condition has stabilized, let’s go visit her first."

In the strictest sense, Hanna had ceased to be purely human from the moment she regained consciousness.

What truly helped her reverse death was not the operating system in her brain, but the Devourer’s genes. This was a technology still in the experimental stage. Medea had been trying to extract Devourer cells, studying the source of their powerful recovery abilities, how to endow the injured with the ability to heal while avoiding the influence of the Bug Swarm’s collective mind. This had always been their focus.

"I’ll prepare some gifts."

Song Lan ordered a fruit basket through the hotel’s self-service system. In terms of daily life, the Seventh District was much more convenient than the Seventeenth District, where even fresh fruits were hard to come by.

When they arrived at the prosthetic hospital, Hanna had already completed the repair surgery on her head and vital organs.

Her parents had pulled strings to get her the best Prosthetic Doctor in the Seventh District. The custom prosthetics were already on their way. Even though Hanna’s life had been temporarily saved, the chief physician was still not optimistic about her future recovery. The main reason was that over 73% of Hanna’s body had been damaged and needed parts replaced.

Apart from her organs, all her limbs and skeleton would also need to be replaced with prosthetics; otherwise, she would have to spend the rest of her life in a hospital bed.

Such extensive prosthesis modification would lead to a new issue.

Cyberpsychosis.

The chief physician bluntly stated that after the surgery, Hanna had a high probability of becoming a cyber lunatic. Even with the most conservative treatment, the degree of prosthesis modification on her body would have to exceed 83%. Even within the United Government, there were very few who had undergone such a high degree of prosthesis modification and still retained their sanity.

Hanna’s case was particularly special.

According to their research, people who had suffered great mental and psychological trauma, like her, were more likely to become cyber lunatics.

"Your parents want you to undergo a comprehensive prosthesis modification course."

The Prosthetic Doctor sat by Hanna’s bedside, holding a thick stack of medical records that documented various data about Hanna’s body.

Hanna’s parents could afford the expensive costs of prosthesis modification and were resolute about it.

The doctor looked sympathetically at the patient in bed, who was left with half a body and could not even eat on her own.

The medical record mentioned that his patient had once been a three-star rescuer of the United Government.

"I do not conceal from my patients. You will almost certainly develop psychological issues after the surgery. Medication can only delay its arrival. The upside is, you can stand up again, return to your previous life."

The doctor paused then continued, "We’ve also prepared another treatment for you that doesn’t involve modification. We can use the most advanced holographic technology to project your consciousness into a virtual world of your choice. In that virtual world, you can experience the feeling of running... and I guarantee you, this treatment will be more stable and lasting than the former."

In fact, most of his patients chose the latter option.

"What did they say?""They hope you undergo the comprehensive prosthesis modification. They believe that with your willpower, you can definitely overcome the mental issues."
