Chapter 166

You remember it after just one glance.

"Oh, you've arrived." The man said, hands in his pockets. "Do you have any information on Bronya?"

"I want to see."

"Oh... who are you?" Theresa seemed to have figured it out and said, "Are you a doctor? The doctor that MEI found? You know about Bronya."

"Can you treat her? Bronya's condition is very complicated."

"Who do you think I am?" the man suddenly said in an absolutely unquestionable tone, "I am the Soul of the Underworld!"

"I don't know him..." Theresa shook her head and said, "It doesn't sound like a name."

"It's not a name," said the Soul of the Underworld. "It's just a title. As long as he's not dead, he can be brought back to life."

"I do have some knowledge about the brain."

"Soul of the Underworld," this is the latest character Li Pu drew. A top-notch medical professional! And in some ways, "Soul of the Underworld" could even be considered a neurosurgeon...

Perhaps.

After all, Academy City is a place where superpowers are achieved by developing the brain's computing power. Soul of the Underworld is an expert in this, right?

Moreover, in the story, he did solve Accelerator's brain damage problem, although it was by adding a cheat code.

It also helped solve the problem of Dream Eater.

Although it's a support role.

But it was still resolved, and the Soul of the Underworld himself is considered the pinnacle of medical skills in the A Certain Magical Index World, someone even the big boss of that world admires.

How about resolving Bronya's problem?

Of course, Li Pu actually wanted to pull Eirin Yagokoro, since she's a character who can both heal and attack. As for Soul of the Underworld Eirin Yagokoro, she's a bit too supportive for this world.

It's not bad, though.

He's a top-tier character!

"A little bit isn't enough." Theresa wasn't intimidated by such an impressive title; she was still a little worried. "No one on our side can solve this problem."

"But I can." The Soul of the Underworld was a little unhappy.

How could someone question that?

"Perhaps I'm not the only one who can cure Bronya." The Soul of the Underworld didn't get angry; he knew that in this world, he originally had no role to Soul of the Underworld. So there was no need to get too upset about Theresa's attitude.

"If I can't solve this problem," said the Soul of the Underworld confidently, "You can go find someone else."

"The premise is that you can find another doctor as good as me."

"Oh..." Theresa hesitated. A doctor of unknown origin. He seemed to have been brought in by Li Pu. Could someone like that really be reliable?

It should be fairly reliable, right? Besides, Li Pu is the reincarnation of MEI, the strongest scientist of the previous era.

So, someone he approves of must be quite capable, right?

I thought about it carefully.

"Well..." Theresa said, still a little worried, "I'm leaving Bronya in your care."

"Please, please heal her, doctor!"

"Don't worry," said the Soul of the Underworld, "I will do my best."

"She will get better."

Chapter 192 Soul of the Underworld

The Soul of the Underworld is an important character.

The system may improve the understanding value, but to truly understand it is another matter entirely.

Since getting his first character, Li Pu has discovered that the character's "understanding value" is not just about the numerical increase in understanding value; there is another very important aspect to it.

It's role-playing.

Playing this role well involves more than just improving one's understanding of data; it also involves improving one's understanding through interpretation.

For Li Pu, mastering the role of the Soul of the Underworld involves more than just increasing his stats; he also needs to figure out how to effectively play the role.

For example, what is the character's mentality, thoughts, beliefs, and moral values?

We must try our best to understand that when faced with different situations, we should make the choices that our role should make.

So what should the Soul of the Underworld do when facing a patient?

Do everything you can to save them!

While both are considered top performers in their respective fields, MEI is a completely unfamiliar character to Li Pu. On the other hand, Soul of the Underworld is a character Li Pu is quite familiar with.

Therefore, the initial knowledge value of the Soul of the Underworld is very high.

What kind of person is that Soul of the Underworld?

He is a doctor.

Aside from liking nurses, she is a very competent doctor.

For him, any patient would be the one he would do his utmost to save.

Therefore, he had no reason to refuse Theresa's request.

Where is Bronya?

The Fourth Military Hospital of Canghai City.

Canghai City, as one of the most prosperous and developed regions in China, boasts world-class medical standards and healthcare teams. It also offers the best medical facilities!

And the best recuperation conditions.

The Fourth Military Hospital is the best hospital here, and also one of the safest places!

If the Adversity Quotient (AQ) wants to take action against Bronya.

At least this place is off-limits.

"You are..." Doctor Li adjusted his glasses and said, "A doctor sent by Schicksal?"

How would Doctor Li describe the person in front of him? Ordinary? No, not at all. Perhaps, there's a hint of something about them that makes one want to study how their bones developed.

However, Doctor Li knew.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

Judging people by their appearance is one of the most impolite things you can do.

But this person is indeed very unique.

"Soul of the Underworld," Soul of the Underworld introduced himself, "I'm a doctor."

"I'm the doctor who's here to take over the case."

"Welcome." Doctor Li's enthusiasm was beyond Soul of the Underworld's expectations.

He had expected to face some difficulties upon arriving here. He would have to overcome numerous obstacles to truly convince everyone and work with the local doctors to determine how to treat Bronya's injuries.

He even anticipated that a large-scale medical workplace drama might unfold here.

But Doctor Li's enthusiasm exceeded the expectations of the medical professionals who Soul of the Underworld.

Doctor Li seemed to be a very intelligent person. He noticed the expression on Soul of the Underworld's face and immediately asked with concern, "Dr. Mingtu, is there something troubling you?"

"No, that's not it." The Soul of the Underworld said somewhat awkwardly, "I thought I was going to be given a hard time."

"A show of force?" Doctor Li was taken aback by Soul of the Underworld's words, and said somewhat uncertainly, "This... did someone remind you of this?"

"No..." Soul of the Underworld said somewhat awkwardly, "I only did a little research before coming here."

"For example, watching some films and television shows that reflect the medical system in China."

"Reaction my ass!" Doctor Li immediately cursed, "What research value is that! It's just a bunch of amateurish nonsense and ramblings."

"Really not?" Even the Soul of the Underworld was a little surprised.

"Hahaha~" Doctor Li laughed for a while after hearing this and said, "There is a saying in China: 'Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue; wherever there is a world of intrigue, there is conflict.' Doctors are people too."

"No one can escape the mundane," Doctor Li said sincerely. "You mean there are some minor internal conflicts in certain departments?"

"There are small cliques among doctors and nurses, and they may not be able to reach an agreement on some things."

"If we really have to say, there are indeed some bad phenomena and things."

"But saving lives is our doctors' sacred duty!"

"It's not to the point of forgetting Hippocrates' poetry."

"As for the reactionaries in certain ports."

"That person is not fit to be a doctor at all."

"Besides," Doctor Li said with a smile, "Those TV dramas are really just romance films disguised as medical dramas. If you take them seriously..."

"You don't actually believe it, do you?"

"Of course not," Soul of the Underworld Chaser immediately replied. "How could that be?"

Of course, he wouldn't take it completely seriously; the Soul of the Underworld wasn't stupid. He naturally knew that the medical dramas in this world—which were essentially TV shows—were no different from those in his previous life.

This really shouldn't be taken as the real situation.

"Let's go check on the patient's condition first," said Soul of the Underworld.

Bronya is in the intensive care unit.

China covered all of Bronya's medical expenses. Of course, this wasn't a free lunch! What China really wanted was the Biological Chip in Bronya's brain.

China is always envious of any high technology.

"Biological Chip ..." Soul of the Underworld held the report in one hand while observing Bronya's condition.

In short, he fell into a deep coma.

"There's a bit of a problem."

The Soul of the Underworld sighed, "This matter is indeed very troublesome."

"Yes," Doctor Li agreed, "It is indeed very tricky."

"The Biological Chip is too closely integrated with this child's brain."

"Through our current technological means."

"It's very difficult to remove this chip completely."

Doctor Li was also at a loss; to treat Bronya, they needed to find a way to remove the chip. Without removing the chip, nothing else could be discussed.

"And this chip," Doctor Li said with a troubled expression, "Has, to some extent, replaced some of the child's brain functions."

Logically speaking, if this chip is just a simple foreign object...

Then all you need to do is remove the chip.

The problem now is that, although the chip is a foreign object, its presence has already replaced some important functions of Bronya's brain.

If it weren't for this, even if Bronya burned out the chip, she would at most experience some discomfort.

It wouldn't be like this, completely unconscious.

"What is your plan?" asked the Soul of the Underworld.

"We have two options," Doctor Li said. "The first is to remove the Biological Chip and try to restore the brain functions that were replaced by the Biological Chip."

"Second, repair this Biological Chip."

"But after discussion, this still won't work." Doctor Li shook his head and said, "First, we cannot confirm which functions the Biological Chip has replaced."

"Secondly, if it needs to be repaired, we have replacement parts and blueprints available that do not have this Biological Chip."

"Sigh..." Doctor Li sighed.

This is also the part that leaves them most helpless.

"Hmm..." Soul of the Underworld pondered as he looked at the data.

The system mainly helped him unlock some related knowledge, but this knowledge would be extremely useful in the world of True Magic Index.
