Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 74 Pontine Interruption Surgery

"Lie down, I'll give you a brain scan," Bai Yuekui said.

Erii lay obediently on the metal table when she suddenly heard an old man's voice coming from the doorway: "What's going on here? Is this young girl not thinking straight?"

Immediately afterward, a thin old man with gray hair and a goatee walked in. He was wearing a gray short jacket, had a kind face and a calm look, and had the air of a wise man.

"The intelligent report shows a disorder in the connection between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, suspected to be..." Bai Yuekui didn't finish his sentence, as further verification was still needed.

"You must be Erii, the one Xia Dou mentioned," the old man introduced himself kindly. "My name is Xia Tianlai, Xia Dou's father, and one of the four chief administrators of Longgu Village. I'm in charge of the village's medical affairs. By the way, the Xia Meng Medicine Clinic you passed by is mine."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help, chatting and laughing all the while.

It turns out that Xia Dou has an older sister named Xia Hua. To Erii's surprise, Xia Hua's husband is a chubby man named Shan Da, and the couple's son is named Shan Shi Hui.

Unexpectedly, Xia Dou is actually Shandong University's sister-in-law?

But when these two stand together, they look more like father and daughter.

Erii wondered aloud, so she asked.

Xia Tianlai couldn't help but laugh out loud and explained, "Xia Dou's awakened ability is mind control. Her pineal gland is exceptionally developed, and her super strong mental power allows her to control the Devouring Beast, as you probably know—but during puberty, it interfered with the pituitary gland's secretion of growth hormone, causing her physical development to be somewhat delayed, so she looks younger than her actual age."

Bai Yuekui also curled up the corners of his mouth and said, "I remember she was so anxious back then that she cried every day, fearing that she would have a private airport when she grew up. Fortunately, the side effects of awakening were only temporary."

Erii blinked. What airport?

"Alright," Xia Tian said.

Bai Yuekui turned on the instrument, and a buzzing sound immediately filled Erii's mind.

"Waaah————"

She felt a violent tremor in her brain, with her left and right hemispheres thinking about different things on their own. The intense discomfort made her body stiff and unable to move.

The examination ended quickly, but Erii felt like she had just escaped death.

Bai Yuekui brought her a glass of water and said calmly, "You had a pontomy, which severed the corpus callosum that connects the left and right hemispheres of your brain. It also left some things that I can't understand yet, like scribbles."

She added, "This surgery was used in the 1950s to treat severe epilepsy, but it was abandoned due to its severe side effects, which could lead to problems such as personality splitting, amnesia, and irritability."

Xia Tianlai stroked his beard in confusion, "That's strange, why would they do this surgery out of the blue?"

Erii shook her head firmly, "I didn't know I had surgery."

The two were taken aback.

"Has he lost his memory? Or does this personality not know?" Xia Tian pondered.

Erii shook her head even more vigorously, "I've always been myself, I don't have a second personality!"

"Or maybe it was done when I was little, before I could remember it," Bai Yuekui guessed.

Erii couldn't help but think of the scheming Tachibana Masamune, and immediately nodded, "Yes, that's possible! My adoptive father is a bad person."

Given his high-risk mixed-race heritage, the only person who would do this to him since childhood is probably his adoptive father, Tachibana Masamune.

So, what exactly is Tachibana Masamune's conspiracy?

She was startled, feeling a lingering fear, yet also extremely relieved.

Luckily, I came to the Ling Cage world, luckily I entered Dragon Bone Village, and luckily I underwent a checkup, otherwise it would have been ages before I discovered I had a problem with my brain!

"Can you fix it?" Erii asked.

"Then you've come to the right person," Xia Tianlai laughed. "What does it mean to be in the right field! Look, this guy is the top neuroscientist in the old world. He can perform craniotomies as easily as going home."

Bai Yuekui revealed a knowing smile, crossed his arms, and said, "Sure, those scribbles can be removed, but I can't let them go to waste."

"What do you want?" Erii asked again.

"Join Dragonbone Village," Bai Yuekui replied.

"That's it?" Erii found it unbelievable, especially since she had originally planned to leave the lighthouse and live in Dragonbone Village.

They didn't care about the common people at all; they were far inferior to the villagers who farmed and reclaimed wasteland.

"It's that simple." Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow, exuding a cool and aloof aura, as if to say, "You little red-haired girl, I've got you all figured out."

She stretched and said lazily, "I'll think about it. Anyway, the repair surgery will take a few days to prepare. Don't worry, the medical technology in the old world is very advanced, and it will be 100% minimally invasive and scarless."

Then, it was the three little ones' turn to have a physical examination.

Aside from being a little malnourished, the two little boys were fine; they could eat, poop, run, and jump normally.

But when the little girl 9033 entered, a rapidly flashing red light appeared on the computer screen, and Bai Yuekui frowned.

This scene terrified the two boys, who immediately asked what was wrong.

"Draw blood for testing," Bai Yuekui ordered.

As summer approaches, people realize the seriousness of the situation, put away their gentle demeanor, and switch to a serious and efficient state.

After a period of agonizing waiting.

"He is chronically weak, has poor immunity, bruises on his body, is anemic, and his organs may be failing," Bai Yuekui said. "It's a blood disease. His bone marrow's hematopoietic ability is weakened, and his platelet count, white blood cell count, and red blood cell count have plummeted. If this trend continues, he will only live for a few more months at most."

The two boys were struck dumb and knelt down without hesitation to beg, a sight that brought tears to the eyes of 9033 in the inspection cabin.

Erii was also extremely flustered, but the calm in Bai Yuekui's eyes made her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Fortunately, this blood disease was conquered decades before the disaster. It can be cured even without a bone marrow match, although long-term medication and injections are required. Living for several more decades is no problem." Bai Yuekui pulled up the little kid who was clinging to his leg and told him the good news.

Summer seemed thoughtful, "After the condition stabilizes, awakening potential might bring about a turnaround. The human body is a blind box full of unknown possibilities."

As he spoke, he released 9033.

Erii breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

She then realized that the "old world" they were talking about was, in her eyes, a genuine futuristic science fiction.

Artificial intelligence, cloning, brain consciousness transfer, interstellar travel, and nuclear-powered spaceships—all things that exist only in science fiction films.

Immortality and superpowers are not just fantasies!

Therefore, some difficult and complicated diseases have long been solved.

"Anyway, they'll be members of Dragonbone Village from now on," Bai Yuekui said, glancing at the three little ones who were embracing and weeping. "Children are always humanity's hope after countless failed attempts to fight against adversity."

Her eyes were gentle as the wind, revealing a soft side hidden beneath her aloofness and pride.

Erii's heart skipped a beat.

She has a motherly feel to her.

at the same time.

The hunters returned to the lighthouse with a bountiful harvest, and as always, they were warmly welcomed by the people.

"I wonder where they went?" Ran Bing asked worriedly.

They waited on the ground for several hours, and Mo Cheng and Fei Xue even searched twice in the direction Erii had left, but to no avail.

Urged on by the lighthouse, we had no choice but to come up.

Mark went to the city lord's hall to report the details, and the others also learned the great news of the Lightbringer's death.

When they learned that she was an assassin under Erii's command and was wanted by the Light and Shadow Society, they all breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she hadn't come back with them.

"Missing? Mark! I advise you to hand her over!" Charles roared furiously.

"Everyone involved in the operation can attest to the truth of what I said, so there's no need for you to yell at me," Mark replied calmly.

"Where are my men? Where is the law firm's support team?!" Charles demanded.

"It's a pity they all died at the hands of the snake dogs. The situation was too urgent to save them," Mark said without changing his expression.

Charles's face darkened. He pointed at Mark and said in a sinister tone, "You'd better not lie to me, or you'll regret it."

Having said that, he gave a simple bow to Morgan, who remained silent, and stormed out of the city lord's hall.

Morgan sighed inwardly as he watched Charles lose his composure.

Sure enough, the next city lord should be handed over to Mark. My son is too old to shoulder the burden of being the city lord.
