Chapter 48 Hidden secrets
Jiang Hui isn't currently worried about being forced into military service if she awakens again after reaching A-rank. Instead, she's concerned that the other side might discover something amiss with her from the remaining data. They might even find that this body, which should have died, is now inhabited by a ghost from another world.

“Ms. Jiang, you can relax a little. It’s not a big problem. Your brain has been repaired very well. It’s probably just that external stimuli slightly affected your brainwave wavelength. This is not uncommon. Many awakened individuals also experience this during hyperawakening, with changes in brainwave wavelengths. Generally, this change is to adapt to changes in the intensity of mental power.”

Seeing that Jiang Hui seemed genuinely frightened, Michael quickly comforted her.

This poor child... suffered an undeserved misfortune. Brain damage is no small matter. If it can be cured, all is well, but if it cannot be cured, it will more or less affect mental strength.

Fortunately, her seemingly positive influence can be considered a blessing in disguise, as it resolved the previous hidden dangers.

With no guardian present, it's natural for a teenager who hasn't fully awakened to panic when dealing with such a situation.

Although the healer Michael appeared to be middle-aged, he was over three hundred years old, nearly four hundred, and long past the age of a grandfather. Therefore, he was even more considerate of children who were roughly the same age as his own children and grandchildren.

Otherwise, given his status as a senior therapist, he wouldn't need to conduct a follow-up examination for an ordinary, not fully awakened individual. He had come across this case by chance while patrolling the area a few days ago, and discovered that the medical data interpretation seemed to be somewhat flawed. That's why he used an excuse to take over Carlisle's position.

This time, more sophisticated instruments were used for testing, and a comprehensive analysis was conducted before the final result was determined.

No wonder Carlette failed to notice the problem.

Because this kind of secondary awakening and brain magnetic field issues are not something every therapist can address. The therapist who previously tested Ms. Jiang's mental capacity clearly hadn't noticed it either, and naturally, it wasn't recorded in her file. It was only with a high-precision testing machine that he was able to barely capture some traces remaining in the child's brain.

However, just as he told Jiang Hui, there was nothing seriously wrong with him anymore. Although his brainwave wavelength had changed slightly, the overall tone remained largely the same, and his mental strength level had completely stabilized, settling at A-level, very close to A+. If he could train properly between his second and third awakenings, he would probably have a chance to reach A+ level.

If Miss Jiang awakens three more times, she will have a bright future ahead of her.

Therapist Michael was pleased for this incompletely awakened individual who had experienced a tumultuous journey.

Jiang Hui, however, wasn't so happy. Not only because she discovered this body's unusually high mental strength might disrupt her future plans—that was a matter for the future, after all.

Rather, according to the therapist Michael's analysis, the original owner's second awakening failed because he was subjected to some external interference before or during the second awakening, such as objects, radiation, or some powerful forces.

In short, the original owner's brain magnetic field must have been affected by something, which led to the premature awakening and the result of this awakening.

This analysis makes it seem like a conspiracy.

Given her highly regarded position within the clan, she should have been well-protected and protected, and shouldn't have been able to come into contact with dangerous items so easily. However, there were no related images in her memories; all the memories she could recall were very mundane, and she hadn't even had any contact with any people.

Jiang Hui wondered if she was overthinking things. Perhaps it wasn't someone else who intentionally harmed the original owner, or perhaps she was unintentionally influenced by something external that caused this situation.

However, the reason why the original owner sadly left the inner star system and went far away to her family was eventually found out.

If that's the case, then the original owner's experience was truly a tragedy.

"However, you may need to take a few more days of sedatives. Once you're more stable, the next checkup will show no problems."

Just yesterday they said she wouldn't have to suffer from this mental stabilizer anymore, but they prescribed another batch. This stuff is really hard to swallow... Before she could put on a pained mask, she heard the other person say again: "During the next check-up, you must pay close attention to the mobilization of your mental energy. Don't overload it. Your brain still needs to rest and recuperate, otherwise it will affect your future development."

Overload? What kind of overload activities could a lazy bum like her, who stays at home, possibly have? And she even mobilized her mental energy. She wasn't really good at using it yet. She just tried playing a little game, and it was quite strange. It felt more like she was driving some kind of power that was more essential and fundamental than physical strength.

But it didn't seem to drain my mental energy much; I didn't feel anything afterward. So what exactly causes this overload...?

The other person seemed to see her question and snorted, "You young people just rely on your good health and strong recovery ability and never take your health seriously. But you don't know that it will be too late if you really cause problems."

Jiang Hui: ? ? ?
Is this subtle, allegorical approach hinting at something?

Then the therapist began to tell her about a daring young man who, without telling his parents and family, had been overdrawing his mental energy in an attempt to achieve the so-called "god-level breakthrough" described in the book, resulting in brain damage and a permanent decline in his mental energy level. He warned her to protect her brain.

"...Although the StarNet now restricts the login time for those who are not fully awakened, the situation in the holographic zone is complicated, and it's impossible to accurately set up protective measures for those who are not fully awakened. By the time the StarNet detects it and ejects people, it will probably be too late. You have plenty of time at your age. Even after three awakenings, you still have many opportunities to improve your mental strength. Don't do anything foolish..." The older healer earnestly advised Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui could only nod at this point. She simply couldn't explain that she had only learned about holography today from the other person.

That's right, she hadn't even considered the existence of holography. This concept, once merely imagined by humans on Earth, had actually become a reality in interstellar space. She genuinely had no idea about it, because this aspect was precisely what was missing and blank in her original self's knowledge. She had always assumed that interstellar network technology hadn't reached this level yet; it turned out it truly existed, she just hadn't known it.

So the day before yesterday, when she saw someone on the forum shouting "Let's have a fight!" to someone downstairs, it might actually mean they were going to have a fight in the holographic zone.
