After some simple tests, the first idea was completely ruled out.
The fatal wounds listed on the Death List could not be healed. Decapitation, a heart being burned to a crisp, blood evaporating—these injuries were simply beyond the field of medicine.
When Blue White Society doctors treated their injuries, they discovered that even replacing a heart could not make it beat.
"You need to pay attention to this membrane, which is as thin as white paper. There's a membrane like this on the cross-section of the decapitated person, making it seem as though the head and body don't need to be connected at all. The surface of the burned heart also has a 'heart-shaped' membrane. After I removed the burned heart, the membrane was still there. How should I put it? It has no thickness. It's more like..." The doctor struggled to describe it.
Mo Qiong and Master Gou could both see that Franklin, whose heart had been cut out, had a hollow "heart" as white as paper. It seemed to have no thickness, and outsiders could pass through it.
"Hmm... More like a 'dotted line'?" Mo Qiong suggested.
The doctor clapped his hands. "Exactly, that's the feeling—a virtual heart. This virtual heart determines the state of the physical heart inside while also replacing the normal heart's function of sustaining the body. But it's like an intangible object. Maintaining the body doesn't require it to move, so this person has no heartbeat."
He demonstrated by transplanting an intact artificial heart. The moment he placed it inside the white virtual heart, it immediately turned into a burned heart.
"I tried many times. Aside from a Calculus Heart, any other transplanted heart seems to turn into a burned heart. Also, if I'm not mistaken, when it's his turn to die, if there's
