The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 7 Doubt (Part 2)
The other person probably didn't expect that Jiang Hui had thought so much while he was away preparing things. He picked up something that looked like a blood pressure monitor, fiddled with it for a while, and then took Jiang Hui's hand and put it on her.

Although the other party first apologized and then still took her hand with a sense of boundaries, Jiang Hui, who had already imagined many scenarios, had several plans on how to break free and fight back.

However, she ultimately suppressed all these thoughts. Because... no, the situation was still unclear. If it really was as she suspected, wouldn't taking any rash action alert the enemy? That would be disadvantageous to her.

So she decided to just bear with it for now. Since things had already come to this, she wanted to see what these people were trying to do by bringing her here.
Sure enough, once the blood pressure monitor-like wristband was wrapped around her arm, Jiang Hui immediately felt an unusual sensation enveloping her skin—a bone-chilling coldness unique to metallic materials. What chilled her even more was that this large area of ​​metallic material wasn't entirely smooth; it had a slightly… prickly feel to it.

Could there be a needle hidden inside?!

Jiang Hui has always been the kind of person with a great imagination. Although she hasn't used this imagination to advance her career or develop her skills, she uses it quite skillfully in her daily life and entertainment.

As she felt a chill run down her spine, she kept imagining what this thing might do, trying her best to convince herself to endure it—it shouldn't be something like sucking away an arm. But the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she was bound to scare herself to death sooner or later. Although she managed to control her violent reaction, her face turned deathly pale. She couldn't help but become even more convinced that this was some kind of charlatan laboratory conducting human experiments.

The other person was still oblivious and gently advised, "Relax. If you don't collect the samples properly, the results will be incomplete, and you'll have to do it again, which is very troublesome."

Finally, Jiang Hui forced herself to calm down and accept the other party's so-called "test," just to see... After all, in terms of size and information gap, she was at a clear disadvantage. In any case, "endurance" was the best course of action for her at the moment.

“Yes, yes, that’s good now. Miss Jiang, you don’t need to be too nervous. The equipment in our district’s intermediate hospital is all procured through bidding from higher levels. Most of it comes from high-level medical device manufacturers registered with Interstellar, so it’s absolutely safe.” Fry breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the ultrasound analyzer had finally successfully collected the blood sample and other data.

However, he could understand the child's anxiety. He and the main treatment room staff in charge of emergency care had reviewed the documents regarding the other party's permission to open to the public.

This is a child in a difficult situation; both parents have passed away, and there are no distant relatives to rely on. The family isn't entirely heartless, providing some resources and a common currency, but according to the rules, their household registration is all linked to a collective account, essentially indicating that there's no point in expecting anything from them.

Although Ms. Jiang refers to herself as "Ms.", she is actually only a teenager and still in school. Having suddenly arrived in this unfamiliar place where she has no relatives or friends, and then experiencing such an accident on her first night, she must have been terrified.

While he was sympathizing with Jiang Hui, his hands kept moving, skillfully pressing buttons on the device. The data scrolled down more than a dozen lines, and then something like a progress bar appeared on the screen.

“That’s enough. You don’t need to take off the hydraulic wristband yet. This process still requires comparing some data on changes in your body, which will take about half a week…” Fry said gently to Jiang Hui, who was watching the hydraulic wristband.

He mistakenly thought the other person was uncomfortable being bound by the hydraulic wristband, so he adjusted the elastic band for her.

Little did she know that Jiang Hui wasn't thinking about that at the moment. She could sense that this thing called a "hydraulic wristband" didn't seem as dangerous as she had imagined. Although there was a momentary stinging pain at the beginning, it didn't last long, and it felt like being bitten by an ant.

Her attention wasn't on the wristband now, but on the strange feeling that had been lingering since earlier. It started with inexplicably ending up in a strange room, then the data collection and analysis, the bizarre, never-before-seen equipment, the surrounding objects and styles unlike anything she'd ever seen before, and a feeling as if there was a thick layer of cultural divide between them. And then there was "Interstellar Medical Device Manufacturer," "Star Time"... Good heavens, had she been infected?!

She had felt strange ever since she woke up. Jiang Hui felt a chill, but still held onto a sliver of hope.

“Ms. Jiang…Ms. Jiang?” Fry asked doubtfully, then couldn’t help but worry about this little girl who was not even an adult yet.

The patient was admitted due to a brain injury, and he assisted the lead therapist in treating her, so he was well aware that her injury was quite severe. Although subsequent brain function tests revealed some disordered brain waves but no functional damage, how could an injury of this magnitude have no impact on a person?

He's awake now, and his consciousness seems to have returned without any hindrance, but he keeps spacing out and seems like his brain isn't working properly, so he must have been quite affected.

Frye decided to get the deep brain wave detector and other deep-detection medical devices later to have someone examine him again and see if they could find any problems that hadn't been detected before.

"Are you tired? Wait for the test results to come out. If there are no problems, I'll take you back to your ward to rest. It won't take too long, maybe ten minutes or so. Although this type of ultrasound medical device is relatively old in technology, belonging to the legacy of ancient times, it is the gentlest existing one and has the least impact on the mind of the unconscious. Just bear with it a little longer..." Before the other person could say anything more, they were immediately interrupted by the girl opposite them.

"May I ask who I am?" The girl's eyes suddenly brightened from being somewhat dim and even dull, and her whole being became lively, as if the last thing had come out of her eyes. She was no longer as weak and ethereal as she had appeared just now.

However, her question seemed... a bit too strange.

The therapist, named Fry, paused.

"Excuse me, which planet am I on? What year is it? How did I get here?"

Jiang Hui's questions came out like firecrackers, a whole string of them popping out at once. Her expression was a mixture of confusion and urgency, disbelief and doubt, forming a very strange and disjointed look.

Fry didn't say another word, and the previously relaxed atmosphere between them crumbled, becoming so stiff that they stared at each other in silence. Then…

"Surgeon General! Surgeon General! It seems that Ms. Jiang Hui in room KY8047 has a problem with her brain. Please send a team of medical personnel immediately..." Fry hurriedly called out into the small microphone hanging on his chest.

Jiang Hui: ...
