Chapter 89: Chapter 86: The Second Strange Device, Secured!

Jiang Xiao’s silhouette slowly appeared in the military district’s cafeteria.

At the same time, every person from Dragon Country felt a surge of power enter their bodies.

Three consecutive perfect completions.

Every individual from Dragon Country felt a revolutionary change in their physique.

Especially this time, it seemed like the shackles inside their bodies were broken.

Not only physically, they felt their thoughts became much more active.

Several previously stalled scientific research projects suddenly made breakthrough progress...

Except for Jiang Xiao.

His gaze seemed wiser than before...

The old chief cautiously patted Jiang Xiao’s shoulder.

"You kiddo, don’t space out, what are you thinking about? Now that you’re out, do you still want to eat chicken?"

It’s no secret Jiang Xiao liked to eat a veteran mother chicken, specifically.

It had to be one secret recipe chicken + one crispy skin chicken + one glass of ice-cold Coca-Cola.

"I just wonder, why do we call deaf people ’deaf’ and blind people ’blind’, but why do we call mute people ’mute’ instead of ’mutes’?"

As soon as Jiang Xiao said this.

The many chiefs in the cafeteria were all astounded.

What... what kind of reasoning is this?

Who knows why we call them ’mute’ instead of ’mutes’, that’s just what everyone calls them, right?

Jiang Xiao frowned and added.

"Could a congenitally mute person be called ’Hatsune Miku’?"

Ah?

Many people were taken aback, not immediately grasping the implication.

Chief Li was the first to catch on.

A congenitally mute person?

Indeed: Hatsune Miku!

"Doctor Sun, come here, quickly, increase the dosage!"

What’s happening?

Jiang Xiao looks sicker in reality than in Kaidan?

Doctor Sun hurried over.

This time, he didn’t even need to test.

From the two questions Jiang Xiao asked, it was evident that his condition severely worsened.

"Is underground horse racing called a private horse race?"

"If a student doesn’t visit the graves on Qingming Festival but goes to class, are they essentially attending a funeral for their own youth?"

"The reason for the failure of cardiac surgery... could it be because the doctors didn’t get where the blockage was?"

The cafeteria was silenced by Jiang Xiao...

Some chiefs even forgot to chew their buns.

Jiang Xiao’s words were indeed strange.

But what about this damnable sense of agreement?

"Doctor Sun, look into it!"

Chief Li issued an urgent command!

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao was only confused and did not show any resistance.

Otherwise, with his current strength, there really wasn’t anybody who could subdue him.

After a series of examinations, Doctor Sun’s brows knitted tighter.

"Jiang Xiao has had severely inadequate sleep recently, and... it seems he has been seriously injured? Look, there is a shadow here in his cerebellum, his brainstem appears to have been compressed, his cranial nerves are much thicker than normal, as if they are about to burst..."

"The main issue is, his condition appears to have been forcefully suppressed by some drug or substance for a while, and now that the drug has worn off, it’s rebounding."

Fucking rebound?

How could Jiang Xiao possibly get any medication in Hengshui Prison?

"Oh dear!"

An impatient old chief interrupted Doctor Sun.

"Tell us something we can understand, what exactly is wrong with Jiang Xiao right now?"

Doctor Sun took a careful look.

"Hisss, let’s just let Jiang Xiao rest for now, it might just be that he’s been under too much pressure recently, and his nerves are too tense."

When it comes to brain problems, no one can make reckless conclusions.

Doctor Sun left, and several old chiefs still eagerly watched over him.

Being personally attended by several top figures of Dragon Country, Jiang Xiao was also quite flattered.

It wasn’t long before Director Wang arrived by helicopter.

He thought he would have to wait seven days, but Jiang Xiao had just breezed through the instance in three days.

Here he was, hurrying over with the Broken Guizhu.

Although this pearl could protect countless lives at critical moments.

If Jiang Xiao needed it... he deserved the nation’s support!

Furthermore, it wasn’t just Director Wang’s decision.

Delivering the Broken Guizhu to Jiang Xiao passed with a 93% vote from the higher-ups!

Let’s just speak bluntly, Jiang Xiao, this orphan with severe brain issues, fought for Dragon Country in Kaidan.

Now, having finally experienced familial warmth in the world of Kaidan,

Dragon Country, as his staunchest shield, naturally had to give him unwavering support.

At that moment, Jiang Xiao was dreaming again...

The dream was extremely fragmented and chaotic.

Pai Daxing, Li Yunlong, SpongeBob, Crayon Shin-chan—a medley of characters was thrown in.

It seemed he even dreamt of Mu Xitang and some very bizarre, eerie images.

In a city?

Some places even gave him goosebumps...

Hmm!

He suddenly opened his eyes, unable to remember anything from the dream.

But his soaked back told Jiang Xiao that the dream must have been very intense.

"You’re awake? Doctor Sun! Come quick, Jiang Xiao is awake!"

Doctor Sun just glanced at Jiang Xiao’s eyes and knew there wasn’t a serious problem.

He had been a psychiatrist for twenty years.

He could tell if a person’s mind was troubled just from the wisdom in their eyes.

Jiang Xiao’s current state was not much different from when he first came out of "Where’s Dad Dead."

When he first came out yesterday, those hollow yet wise eyes almost scared someone to death!

He looked at the diagnostic equipment and Doctor Sun asked,

"Jiang Xiao, did something hit your head?"

Hit?

"How could that be, with my physical condition, even if it were a hit..."

Wait?

Jiang Xiao paused.

There was indeed no physical collision, but the Obsession Pearl had fiercely struck his consciousness.

That’s right!

My pearl!

Jiang Xiao hurriedly stuffed his hand into his chest, only relaxing when his fingers found the familiar little box.

"Sheesh! The thing you pulled out is yours, huh! You think we’re going to steal it?"

The old chief, clearly offended, remarked.

Jiang Xiao awkwardly rubbed his hands; it was just an impulsive, subconscious action.

And Doctor Sun could tell from Jiang Xiao’s expression that his head had indeed been impacted.

Thus, he frowned and advised,

"You need to rest properly now, don’t let your thoughts wander. Your brain is very fragile currently, understand?"

Jiang Xiao nodded.

Since leaving Sun Wei and the others, he had not had a good night’s sleep, his mind wandering especially before bedtime.

Now, it seemed he truly needed a good rest.

"Doctor, is my head injury severe?"

"Emmm, how should I put it."

Doctor Sun pondered for a moment, finally deciding to give an example.

"If a person’s brain is a pipe, then a person’s emotions are like the flow of water inside the pipe. A normal person’s pipe is made of rubber, which can withstand being swept over repeatedly by emotions, but your rubber pipe has swollen, thickened, and thinned. It could burst open if you’re not careful, do you understand?"

One must admit, Doctor Sun’s analogy was exceptionally clever.

Even the senior chief present understood.

That’s how it was.

Emotions in Jiang Xiao’s mind were like a double-edged sword.

Used well, it would maintain the rationality as it did when he was with Shi Shi and the others.

Used poorly, well, the pipe would burst, and his mind would start causing trouble.

For example, when his emotions collapsed...

"Jiang Xiao! What do you think this is?"

Director Wang had also arrived, and the small box in his hand instantly captured all of Jiang Xiao’s attention.

He immediately took a deep breath to regulate his emotions, preventing any drastic fluctuations.

"Xiao Wang! Didn’t I say, Jiang Xiao needs to rest!"

The old chief reprimanded Director Wang, discontented.

"No worries, no worries, after I give the gift, I’ll leave."

Director Wang first paid his respects to the old chief as a student would to a mentor, then handed the box to Jiang Xiao.

"Yes, you guessed right, if it’s not enough, don’t worry, our Dragon Country has been sparing no expense to buy more globally."

Jiang Xiao’s eyes teared up.

It was hard to describe how he felt inside.

All he could say was that all his previous sacrifices were worth it.

At least the country had taken note...

"Let’s go, let’s go, everyone out, let someone bring him food, let Jiang Xiao eat well and have a good sleep."

The condition to save his daughter had been met.

Only a nine-star level Kaidan remained.

That’s right!

With conditions of being able to clear it, he must keep his brain well protected...

Otherwise, after rescuing his daughter, what would Shi Shi and the others think if they found their father had turned into a fool?

So... it’s best not to strain his mind.

Just to be safe, Jiang Xiao still decided to let him make an appearance.
