The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2281 Accident
Horii is not one to give up easily; no matter how difficult things get, he will strive forward and never give up.

But now
Horii Makoto felt at a loss as to where to begin.

The soul is too ethereal and elusive. All we know is that it is a special kind of plasma. But there are many kinds of plasma. All matter has plasma, just like solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is the fourth state of matter.

In physics, ionized gas composed of electrons, ions, atoms, and neutral particles is called plasma. It is characterized by high conductivity and has the highest energy density among the four states of matter. It usually occurs in environments with extremely high temperatures and strong electromagnetic fields.

To this day, no scientist has been able to figure out which part of the human body has the environment to generate plasma.

Those who say the soul resides in the brain, are they saying the brain's temperature is high enough, or its magnetic field is strong enough?
If the human brain can generate and confine plasma, then why bother with tokamaks? We can just put them directly into the brain.

In any case, according to the current physical system of humankind, the human body does not have the conditions to generate and confine plasma.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that human physics is not advanced enough, but before the technology reaches that level, it is 'impossible' for the human body to generate and confine plasma.

Without even theoretical support, how can it be implemented?

This isn't simply about replacing what's missing.

To give a simple example, if you are iron deficient, can you supplement your iron intake by eating iron pots?
Even someone with their duodenum would know the answer.

The same applies to plasma; all matter basically has its own plasma state.

What elements make up the plasma that constitutes the human soul?
What is the content of each element?

What kind of structure do these elements have?
Just like treating an illness, eliminating germs is simple. Let alone disinfectant, even simple hot water can wipe out superbugs and terminal viruses. The key is that these germs are mixed with human cells, and the process of sterilizing and disinfecting them must not affect normal cells, which is extremely difficult.

Watching Horii's excitement turn into bewilderment was like being doused with a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter, chilling him to the bone. He looked utterly dejected, his discomfort radiating from within.

Having never seen Horii like this before, Chiba Makoto couldn't help but sigh and said, "Actually, there's another way we can try, but nobody really knows if it will work."

"any solution?"

As soon as Chiba Makoto finished speaking, Horii suddenly raised his head, his face regaining hope. He excitedly grabbed Chiba Makoto's hand and said repeatedly, "Try it, you must try it, even if... I'm willing to try it."

Horii Makoto is like a drowning man, willing to grab onto even the smallest straw, even if it plunges him into an even deeper abyss. Before sinking, he tries to grasp at anything he can.

"Do you remember Takuma?"

"Takuma?" Horii was taken aback at first, then recalled the name from his memory and asked, "Mayumi's...ex-boyfriend?"

"Ok!"

Upon receiving Chiba Makoto's affirmation, Horii also thought of that person and that incident.
The long-awaited reunion turned into a separation of life and death.

Even though Mayumi repeatedly told him not to take the plane, the slowness of the ship and his intense longing made Takuma unable to wait any longer, so he boarded the plane.

He thought he would see his lover in a few hours, but instead he encountered Gazort, who had taken shape in the Lightning Man's lair.

A burning love for his beloved transcended distance and even death, allowing the long-deceased Takuma to reappear before Mayumi, expressing his love before vanishing with the wind.

It was on that occasion that it was truly confirmed that the human soul truly exists, and that it should exist in the form of plasma.

but
"What does this have to do with Takuma?"

Horii couldn't understand how Takuma could appear before Mayumi across hundreds of miles using plasma, even though almost ten years had passed. As soon as he finished speaking, Horii's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed as if in sudden realization, "Is it the one that was left behind back then?"

“Yes!” Chiba Makoto nodded and said, “That’s the one.”

Knowing which one Chiba Makoto was referring to, Horii thought about it seriously and realized it might actually be a solution, but then he hesitated.

because--

That was Mayumi's last lingering affection, and also proof of Takuma's burning heart and most sincere love.

but
Horii clenched his fists at some point and said with a determined look, "I'll go talk to her."

"I'll go back and call Maya. She knows more about this and can help. We'll meet at the hospital."

Chiba Makoto patted Horii on the shoulder. He understood Horii's feelings at that moment. It was too cruel to destroy the last bit of love left behind by someone else for the sake of his own love, especially since it was his friend's sister.

That's why Chiba Makoto is so hesitant, but right now, there really isn't any other way; this is the only one he can think of.

"Ok!"

Horii nodded silently, indicating that he had heard.

His expression shifted, and his heart was in turmoil.

But for his family and loved ones, he was willing to risk everything, even his reputation, and beg to come.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

clatter! clatter! clatter!
The corridor was extremely quiet, making Horii's footsteps echo heavily, like a heavy hammer hitting Horii's heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he had no choice but to move forward until he came to an office with a nameplate that clearly read: Shinjo Mayumi!

Horii stood in front of the door, his right hand raised as if to knock, but it froze in mid-air. Such a simple movement felt incredibly difficult at that moment; his hand seemed to be held back by a thousand horses, unable to fall. Just then, the door suddenly opened from the inside, followed by a gasp of surprise.

Mayumi was about to go out when she opened the door and saw someone standing there. Caught off guard, she was startled and instinctively backed away, feeling completely flustered.

Just as I was about to ask who was scaring people, I saw who it was.

"Horie? What do you want with me?" Mayumi was quite surprised to run into Hori here, but she was even more confused. What was going on with Hori standing at her door with his fist raised?
"I," Horii looked at Mayumi, who was so close to him, and opened his mouth, but it felt as if a huge stone was stuck in his throat, preventing him from speaking. His lips trembled as if he were having a seizure, but he just couldn't make a sound.

His hesitant manner clearly indicated that something was wrong. Mayumi quickly stepped aside and invited Horii inside. After closing the door, she poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Horii before asking with concern, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a reason!
Although they knew each other and were acquaintances, they were not close brothers like Shinjo. Moreover, given the impropriety of their relationship, and the fact that Horii had to take care of his family, they could count the number of times they met in private on one hand, let alone someone knocking on the door like just now.

Therefore, it's not hard to conclude that Horii came here this time because he had something to ask of him, and it should be related to his family.

There are no secrets in the medical bureau!

Mayumi had heard about the Horii family's plight a few days earlier and felt great sympathy for them. She sighed several times, wondering why happiness always seemed to be met with misfortune.

She had been thinking about what she could do for him, but hadn't come up with anything yet. Then today, she opened the door and saw Horii, still looking hesitant. It was clear he wanted to see her about something, and it couldn't be a small matter.

Hearing Mayumi's sincere words, Horii lowered his head even further. At this moment, he really wished he didn't know Mayumi, so that they could just talk about interests, unlike now, where everything involved emotions.

"I...I..." Horii took a deep breath, his fists clenching tighter and tighter. Even Mayumi could tell from his self-encouragement that what he was about to say was probably really outrageous, which was why he couldn't say it for so long.

This made Mayumi look down at herself. She was no longer a youthful and beautiful girl in her early twenties. Her looks had already started to decline.

Chizuru was once the most beautiful girl in the research institute, coveted and coveted by many. While those people were competing and dragging each other down, a big hand reached out from outside and snatched her away, and it was Horii who was good for nothing except being smart.

In the words of an old classmate, he not only has short limbs but is also very fat. He always tells boring jokes and has no sense of romance. He is full of flaws.

This is truly a case of a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. It has infuriated countless people, who wish they could replace her. Even Shinjo was depressed for quite some time, deeply reflecting on what he was lacking and why Horii had found a boyfriend, a very beautiful and cute girl, while he was still single.

Over the years, Horii has also had an excellent reputation. Although his status has risen steadily, he has become an important researcher in the research department at a young age, and his future is limitless.

Given Horii's current status and position, even if he were ugly, there would be people trying to take shortcuts and throw themselves at him. But faced with all these temptations, Horii has never been involved in any extramarital affairs, let alone any scandals. How could he be so desperate as to make a move on someone he knows?

So it's because the request is too difficult, too demanding?
She was just a lowly head nurse, only able to "show off" in front of the junior nurses. She was nothing in the medical affairs bureau. Horii, on the other hand, knew many high-ranking and powerful people. Even if a little bit of their power leaked out, it was still far beyond what a lowly head nurse could achieve.

So Mayumi was really curious about what it was that only she could do, and that could put Horii in such a difficult position.

“Horie,” Mayumi called out the title she hadn’t used in a long time, sitting opposite Horii and said seriously, “You are my brother’s good friend, and we have known each other for so many years. Just tell me what you need, and I will do my best to help you if I can.”

"Mayumi, it's me."

Mayumi's repeated statements and deep breaths finally made Horii raise his head. His fists were clenched tightly, and his face showed undisguised difficulty, but he still said, "Chizuru might not be able to wake up because of a lack of life energy, so if it can be replenished, maybe she can."

Before Horii could finish speaking, Mayumi understood and subconsciously raised her hand to her chest. Through her nurse's uniform, she could clearly feel the hard metal object.

Pendant!

What Tomo left behind embodies his longing, his love, and his reluctance to part.

No wonder it was so difficult; no wonder only she could do it.

To date, apart from Thom, the only other known manifestation of a soul is that of the crew of Jeep 3. However, those three astronauts appeared in the form of starlight, while Thom's manifestation was much more direct, a true manifestation of a soul, without any controversy.

How he managed to bring this pendant from 10,000 meters in the air, thousands of miles away, to Mayumi remains a mystery to this day.

Seeing Mayumi's expression freeze instantly, and a hint of sadness flash across her eyes, Horii felt even more guilty. Wasn't this just reopening old wounds? For so many years, everyone had tacitly avoided mentioning racing, let alone Takuma, but now he had personally brought it up.

Then, a somewhat worn pendant appeared before his eyes, startling Horii. He looked up and saw Mayumi's right hand outstretched, two fingers hooking the thin chain of the pendant, her expression calm and undisturbed.

"Take it away."

"Mayumi, I..." Horii stood up abruptly, looking at Mayumi, whose expression had returned to calm, with considerable surprise, but did not reach out to take her.

Mayumi stood up as well, took Horii's hand with her left hand, and watched the pendant slowly fall until it was completely in Horii's palm. She said in a calm tone, "People from the past should not be forgotten, but people around us are more important."

"Mayumi!"

“Take it away,” Mayumi’s fingers slowly withdrew until the pendant was completely in Horii’s palm. She looked away, trying not to look at the ordinary yet special pendant, and said softly, “It…should have been taken off a long time ago.”

"I'm sorry!" Horii was extremely remorseful, standing in front of Mayumi with his head down, not even daring to look into her eyes. He had personally uncovered a painful past and destroyed a poignant memory.

“No,” Mayumi shook her head slightly and said, “I’m always so indecisive. But now, I have to look forward, don’t I?”

Mayumi put her hands in her pockets, turned her head to look out the window, and tried to force a smile, but the muscles on her face were not in control and unconsciously drooped.

Horii fled in a disheveled state, clutching the old-fashioned pendant tightly in his right hand. He kept his head down, not daring to look back. He could feel a piercing gaze fixed on him, making him feel uneasy and extremely uncomfortable.

"If it can save people, Tomo definitely will."
