Xia Chujian: "..."
She was thinking too, okay? Subjectively, she wanted to "fake it," to make herself appear injured, so her brain tissue simulated that state and made her "fraud" real? But that piercing pain and mental haze couldn't have been fake!
Xia Chujian could not help asking, "But my head hurt like hell then. There were a few moments when I really thought I was going to die..."
Xia Yuanfang said sorrowfully, "Of course. That was because your brain tissue really was damaged, just not irreversibly."
"Your brain promptly activated its Self-Preservation Program and grew these membranes to protect the critical areas inside it."
"While you were unconscious, I opened your skull and took a tiny sample of the tissue to study."
Xia Chujian touched her head and said in surprise, "I had cranial surgery too?! Aunt, you're incredible! I didn't feel a thing!"
Xia Yuanfang merely smiled without speaking. She thought to herself that she had opened who knew how many skulls and performed who knew how many experiments. How could she possibly let Xia Chujian feel anything?
Xia Chujian urged her, "So, Aunt, did you find anything?"
Xia Yuanfang spread her hands. "The tissue structure of that membrane is both simple and complicated."
"It is simple because its cellular structure is extremely basic and ordinary. There is no visible difference from other brain tissue cells."
"It is complicated because it carries its own Electronic Charge, one whose positive and negative poles constantly switch."
"That way, when you are subjected to a powerful electric shock, it can switch polarities at the right moment and counteract the physical stimulation of the shock, reducing or even eliminating the Physical Attack on your brain caused by the electricity."
"This phenomenon and reaction..."
Xia Yuanfang paused again, but ultimately told the truth.
