Chapter 168
What if I'm not watching her Cocolia and she manages to trick Doctor Mei into doing something drastic?
That wouldn't be good.
But now...
"This is the latest news," Raven said, pushing his photograph to the center of the conference table. "It's basically confirmed, just as we suspected."
This suddenly appearing Soul of the Underworld is one of Li Pu's past lives, and can also be considered one of Doctor Mei's reincarnations.
"The Lord will..."
The Raven didn't finish its sentence.
But a little bit of excitement welled up inside me.
Hmm, what a deeply sinful person he really is!
If her lord likes Mei so much, would he accept such a reincarnation? Although it seems like a reincarnation specializing in medicine, this is...
Hmm... I'm overthinking it. I shouldn't!
I get excited just thinking about it.
"This matter..." Gray Serpent considered it carefully for a while and said, "I will not tell the Lord about this matter for the time being."
Gray Serpent didn't finish his sentence.
Or rather, ever since the appearance of this Soul of the Underworld, the investigation surrounding it has been in a state of silence, where everyone understands the situation.
"Is there anything else?" Gray Serpent asked again.
"Soul fragments," Raven said. "According to the latest intelligence, Otto plans to collect more of Kallen's soul fragments."
"A fragment of a soul?" the Gray Serpent countered. "What's that?"
As an information broker, how could he not know this? Gray Serpent suddenly felt that he had neglected his duty.
"When a person's soul is separated from the protection of the body, it will shatter, and the fragments that break off are the fragments of the soul," the Jackal explained.
"Then... doesn't that mean a person's reincarnation is incomplete?" Gray Serpent, somewhat surprised.
"No, it's still whole," the Jackal said. "Since it can break, it will absorb other soul fragments and form a new, complete soul for reincarnation."
"Take Li Pu's two past lives, Cecilia and Mrs. Aleshkevich," Jackal explained. "These two people lived at roughly the same time."
"It is impossible for a soul to have two reincarnations at the same time, so why did Li Pu have two reincarnations at the same time?"
"It means that fragments of Cecilia's or Mrs. Aleshkevich's soul were absorbed and then reincarnated."
"Of course, there is a main body to this."
"The main body is MEI." Gray Serpent immediately understood and said, "If each reincarnation is broken, then it means that even if Lady MEI is the main body, she is not complete now."
"So Otto's plan is..."
"To piece together a complete soul," Jackal said. "To bring Kallen back to life."
"Oh?" Gray Serpent asked again, "Then what does this have to do with Lord Mei?"
"Yes," Jackal said, "And the connection is very strong."
"If Kallen is also the reincarnation of MEI and not a soul fragment absorbed from her, then once Kallen's part of the soul is gathered together, Kallen will be resurrected. Resurrection requires a physical body, and that body is naturally the current Li Pu."
"Of course, theoretically speaking, Kallen and Mei coexist at this time, because Kallen is the reincarnation of Mei."
"However, Kallen's will will dominate, and MEI's will will no longer appear."
"But what if Kallen is a fragment of a soul that was absorbed?"
"Once Kallen's soul is complete."
"That means MEI has nothing to do with it."
"I understand!" Gray Serpent said, realizing what was going on. "No matter which way it is, if Otto really manages to collect Kallen's soul, it won't be a good thing for MEI!"
"To be precise, the latter is worse," the Jackal said. "A body can only hold one soul."
"If it's a reincarnation, that's fine, but if it's a fragment of a soul..."
"Once they are all collected, Kallen's soul will banish MEI's soul!"
Only a complete soul can occupy a complete body.
"Because it's not a direct reincarnation but exists in the form of soul fragments," Gray Serpent said, fully understanding the meaning. "Among the collected Kallen souls, there are also some soul fragments that were absorbed by the current MEI soul."
"It will strip away and absorb this part of the soul fragment, at which point MEI's soul will be incomplete."
"They will be squeezed out by the complete soul."
"Yes." Jackal nodded and said, "And more importantly, a soul that is forcibly squeezed out of the body will be very unstable and very easy to break."
"It is highly likely that MEI's main soul will be completely shattered into countless soul fragments and reincarnate with other souls."
That would be even worse!
"Otto!" Gray Serpent realized the situation was dire!
If that happens, our lord will be furious!
"Otto is planning a new project," Raven said. "Nightmare Project."
"What do you mean?" Gray Serpent asked seriously.
This matter must be taken seriously! Otherwise, things will get much worse once the Lord comes out!
"Dream on," Raven said. "According to reliable intelligence, Otto seems to have mastered some technology that can awaken past lives on a large scale."
"Then..." Gray Serpent frowned slightly and said, "Does that mean there will be many Kallen? Many Meis? Many Cecilia?"
"To be precise, no." Raven shook his head and said, "To be able to transform into one's past life like Li Pu requires extremely special conditions."
"Highly specialized equipment is needed to complete the initial wake-up."
"This is just a simplified version."
"Otto wants to find and take the fragments of Kallen's soul."
Therefore, there will not be a second Li Pu.
"Then we must stop them!" Gray Serpent said. "No... perhaps... we can also take advantage of this."
"MEI's soul also broke down during all those reincarnations."
"If only we find the fragments of the soul and put them back together."
"Hmm," Jackal said, "MEI will be resurrected."
But is this really a good idea? I heard that the Soul of the Underworld needs a batch of equipment.
Moreover, Otto's approval process was a bit slow.
She recently finished renovating her lab...
Hmm, I doubt that the Soul of the Underworld would do what MEI did.
Chapter 194 Medical Master
"This injury can be treated!"
The Soul of the Underworld shook the book in his hand.
"Dr. Mingtu." Doctor Li very seriously, sitting up straight with his hands clasped together on the table. Without a smile, he said, "I hope you can take responsibility for Bronya's injuries."
"I am responsible for Bronya's injury."
The Soul of the Underworld is a bit different. They were cooperating very well just a few days ago. Why did they suddenly change their mind?
The Soul of the Underworld said, puzzled, "I have carefully studied the injury, and it is treatable."
"Really?" Doctor Li said, seemingly suppressing his anger. "I'd like to know how you came up with this from Playboy Nurse Collection."
Playboy, a brand that features a bunny head bow tie.
Sister, look at this magazine company founded at the end of the last century, a magazine that mainly served men.
As for the contents...
"You mean that art magazine?" Soul of the Underworld said without changing his expression, "I'm appreciating the art in it."
Art... Doctor Li was truly speechless.
From a purely academic standpoint, this really is art! But in reality, why should everyone else be a gentleman while you're here acting like an artist?
You don't really think we don't know what you're looking at, do you?
No way? No way?!
We're all experienced drivers here, it can't be that serious, right?
"I am indeed appreciating all of this from an artistic perspective," said Soul of the Underworld seriously, without changing his expression, and without even putting down the magazine in his hand. "We don't need to talk about this."
The Soul of the Underworld was wronged, or rather, Li Pu felt he was wronged!
This isn't something he insisted on doing.
All of this was to play the role of the Soul of the Underworld well! The Soul of the Underworld likes this thing, so he took it to look at! Otherwise, he had no other choice.
Yes, that's it.
Let's talk about something else, let's talk about something else, let's talk about something else...
Doctor Li suppressed his anger and said, "I don't want you to just give me a verbal plan; I want to see a complete plan in written form."
"Doctor Mingtu, we must be responsible for our patients and we can't be careless!"
Even if this guy was sent by Schicksal and should be considered an expert, Doctor Li really couldn't feel at ease entrusting Bronya to his treatment because of his condition.
Based on my observations over the past few days, this doctor doesn't seem particularly responsible.
Doctor Li did not want to question the professional level of the Soul of the Underworld.
But he spends all his time looking at Playboy.
This really couldn't put Doctor Li's mind at ease.
The Soul of the Underworld stood up and said, "Okay, I understand. I will give you a written report of the plan."
Without lingering, Soul of the Underworld returned directly to his office, a temporary one prepared for him. Although a bit small, it had almost everything he needed.
The reason why the Soul of the Underworld didn't want to stay there wasn't because he was angry with Doctor Li's attitude.
In fact, Soul of the Underworld greatly admired Doctor Li's attitude.
If Doctor Li agrees like that, then let him get started.
The Soul of the Underworld would actually look down on Doctor Li.
Because this is irresponsible towards the patient!
He was well aware of how much he had damaged his image these past few days, spending all his time watching Playboys instead of doing anything productive, as if he didn't care about Bronya's condition at all.
But in reality, even the Soul of the Underworld has his own unspeakable grievances!
MEI gave Li Pu more than just the habit of pushing up his glasses; it also gave him a way of thinking and something rather unique.
It refers to memory ability.
Human memory is not Issei thing; it has the potential to be developed.
If you're willing, you can develop your memory skills and achieve photographic memory. There are many training methods available in past lives to help you with memory.
Of course, it's not some rubbish like quantum reading, but real memory training.
One common method is to memorize playing cards.
I won't go into the specific process and effects, but memory skills can indeed be developed.
MEI herself possesses an extraordinary memory, and although Li Pu did not completely learn it, he at least learned half of it.
He had already reviewed Bronya's case in its entirety, and the general outline was imprinted in his mind. Of course, this was merely a mechanical imprinting, the kind of rote memorization. He didn't understand what it actually meant.
But it is very important for the current Soul of the Underworld.
Only by memorizing all these things and continuously improving his knowledge can he understand what they represent.
