Chapter 1511 Aftereffects
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
“Can’t feel your legs?” Lin Qiye came back to his senses and immediately scanned his body again with his mental power. “That’s impossible… your legs aren’t injured, how could you not feel them?”
“I don’t know either… but I just can’t feel them anymore.” An Qingyu’s expression was incredibly bitter.
“Don’t worry, you just woke up from a coma, it’s normal that your body hasn’t fully recovered. I’ll have headquarters send someone over soon… no, we’ll take you to headquarters for an examination, the equipment there is more comprehensive.”
Lin Qiye spoke very calmly, “Lao Cao, go get the car ready, I’ll carry Qingyu… Jiang Er, can you fly into the trunk by yourself?”
“Yes, I can.” Jiang Er nodded firmly.
As Jiang Er’s coffin automatically floated up, Cao Yuan grabbed the car keys from the table and quickly walked toward the courtyard.
The temporary vehicle used by the [Night Curtain] team in Beijing was originally prepared by Baili Pangpang, spacious enough to seat seven people, and very roomy. Even the trunk had been modified to easily accommodate a coffin.
Lin Qiye put clothes on An Qingyu and carried him directly to the car.
The cold autumn night wind in Beijing was bitingly chilly. An Qingyu, wrapped in a deep red cloak, leaned against Lin Qiye’s back, watching the red taillights illuminate in the courtyard, his lips slightly pressed together…
“Qiye,” he said softly.
“Hmm?”
“What if… I become a cripple from now on?”
Lin Qiye, who was carrying An Qingyu with large strides, paused and frowned, “Why say such nonsense? You’re An Qingyu, a monster who could regrow his head if it fell off. How could a pair of legs make you a cripple?
Even if your legs really become useless, at worst you’ll use a wheelchair. If Jiang Er can lie in a coffin and come all this way with us, even if you sit in a wheelchair, you’re still the deputy captain of [Night Curtain]… No one can replace your position.”
Lin Qiye’s voice was incredibly firm in the cold wind. An Qingyu stared at his profile, and after a moment, smiled helplessly.
“Let’s hope so…”
The temporary station of the [Night Curtain] team wasn’t far from Beijing headquarters, just over twenty minutes away. The vehicle slowly pulled up at the foot of the headquarters building.
Meanwhile, a team of logistics personnel had been waiting at the bottom of the building with a stretcher for a long time. Seeing Lin Qiye and the others arrive, they immediately came forward and carefully placed An Qingyu on the stretcher, carrying him into the building.
Lin Qiye had called headquarters on the way, and the logistics and medical departments had already prepared everything… An Qingyu was the deputy captain of the [Night Curtain] team and a hero of all of Great Xia, he deserved this treatment.
Lin Qiye, Jiang Er, and Cao Yuan stood in the corridor, watching as An Qingyu was pushed into the ward. As the ward door closed with a dull sound, the corridor fell into dead silence.
“Jiang Er, don’t worry too much. The Heavenly Venerable said before that damage to the soul would have some aftereffects, it’s not a big deal,” Lin Qiye said to comfort Jiang Er, seeing the concern on her face.
“Yes, no matter what, the fact that he’s awake is the best thing,” Cao Yuan added.
Jiang Er gave a soft “mm” and said, “I know… no matter what he becomes, I will take good care of him.”
Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan exchanged glances and smiled simultaneously.
The three waited in the corridor for over twenty minutes before a figure in a white coat came out through the door. Lin Qiye recognized him as the deputy director of the Beijing logistics department and one of the top medical talents among the Night Watchers.
“Dr. Zheng, how is he?” Lin Qiye asked.
Dr. Zheng opened his mouth, with an expression of hesitation, and after a while, made a “please” gesture.
“Come in and we’ll talk.”
The three entered the medical room, and Dr. Zheng took several films from the table and laid them out in front of everyone.
“We’ve thoroughly examined him. There’s nothing wrong with Deputy Captain An’s legs themselves.”
“Nothing wrong? Then why can’t he…”
“The reason he can’t control his legs is likely because there’s a problem with his soul itself,” Dr. Zheng said seriously. “We just used Forbidden Domain to test his soul… but strangely, we can’t sense the complete picture of his soul. His soul… seems different from normal people.”
“I heard about this from the Heavenly Venerable,” Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
“We can’t fully analyze his soul, so we can’t determine exactly where the problem lies. But from the current situation, it seems his soul has undergone some changes, causing errors in controlling his body.
This situation is quite tricky because no modern medical methods can affect the soul. We just tried to repair his soul with some special Forbidden Domain, but it had no effect. His soul is completely immune to any external influence… In this case, even if his physical regenerative ability is strong, or even if we replace his body entirely, it won’t completely solve the problem.”
After hearing Dr. Zheng’s explanation, Lin Qiye and the others frowned slightly.
“You mean… his legs can’t be treated?”
“Theoretically, yes.”
Lin Qiye’s body trembled slightly, and an indescribable sadness appeared in his eyes.
“However… the problems with him go far beyond this,” Dr. Zheng sighed deeply.
“What do you mean?” Lin Qiye was stunned.
“Come with me.” Dr. Zheng led the three of them, opening an inner door of the medical room, passing through a corridor, and arriving at another enclosed room.
The room was simply furnished, like a monitoring room, with screens densely arranged on the wall, various medical monitoring machines interconnected, all converging into a central control console.
“Look at this,” Dr. Zheng pointed to a certain screen on the wall.
The three turned to look. The screen was monitoring a narrow small room where An Qingyu and a doctor were sitting on opposite sides of a small table. On the table were several papers with different numbers and symbols, as well as some building block-like objects.
“What are they doing?”
“Solving problems,” Dr. Zheng slowly said. “Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division calculations, equation and inequality operations, event logic reasoning, as well as building block assembly and creation… This project is generally prepared for patients whose brains have been severely damaged and whose consciousness is unclear, to determine whether their brain’s thinking function can operate normally.”
“Why are you showing us this?” Cao Yuan asked puzzledly.
Dr. Zheng sighed, raised his right fingertip, pointed at his own temple, and slowly said:
“Compared to the loss of sensation in his legs, Deputy Captain An’s real serious problem is here…”
