Translator: Lonelytree

Around noon of January 18th, Gu Jun walked towards the Psychology Building acco, they headed to the cerebral function research lab on the 5th floor where Prof Shen awaited theside Prof Shen was the leader of the lab, Professor Ma Jun and his colleagues Prof Ma was the nation’s leading expert on the brain and he was part of Gu Jun’s treatment team Gu Jun’s brain was currently in an abnormal state He did not suffer from any common mental disorder, like anxiety, depression, irritability or hallucination There was no noticeable change to his personality either

However, once he came into contact with ‘abnors, Dreamlands, spell, illusion, R’yleh and the like, he would suffer a splitting headache The contact here included hearing the fro or physically interacting with them The syhtest If he did not fixate on it, then it would only lead to a minor headache; but once he started to ponder upon it, then the syreatly intensify His brain would feel like breaking; the condition orst if he participated in the activity personally

Regardless of the symptoms, once he severed the contact, his headache would slowly recede And he was perfectly fine when contact was null In contrast, the longer the contact, the hts where Gu Jun would convulse involuntarily and go unconscious For exa a docues when he fainted frohtened everyone around him Thankfully due to the swift reaction of the nurses, he awakened soon after That caused a da trouble

Gu Jun knew his situation was not opties exhausted the coy He felt weak and listless He only ed to recover 24 hours later The human brain was too complex Furthermore, Gu Jun had suffered from brain tumor, cerebral anoxia and not to mention, he had a polyht prefrontal lobe and that cos even further

Thankfully, there was precedence to Gu Jun’s case His condition was very si supernatural elements Jack Wales suffered from the sa agents had minor PTSD too However, different from them, Gu Jun did not show any other typical PTSD clinical syndroative change to his perception, did not develop paranoia and so on Psychologically speaking, histo face these ‘trauical reaction to the trigger showed great desire for avoidance Despite the lack of psychological pain, there was intense biological pain And that fitted with the diagnosis of PTSD

Regarding this situation, the higher-ups including Elder Tong and Yao Sinian orried As hisdid not wish to see Gu Jun suffer like this Personally, he’d rather Gu Jun stay away from the supernatural For the past 2 years, Gu Jun had contributed h to warrant a safe retirereat loss to the world and Phecda Phecda would not lose such an iht Therefore, the treatfeng receded to the background as neurologists like Prof Ma Jun took over the helical y or a biological proble stone and there was no sign of mental corruption He had not taken the S value assesses of the battlefield and death ht send him into another coma

Gu Jun, Wu Siyu and Cai Zixuan walked into the lab The advanced devices there would be used to conduct a more detailed inspection of his brain The lab was spacious and bright It was separated into multiple rooms and the front room led off to different inspection labs

After the perfunctory greeting, Gu Jun was led by Prof Ma into the FMRI lab Functionalor functional MRI (fMRI) es associated with blood flow The prien-level dependent (BOLD) contrast It is non-invasive and doesn’t involve radiation, netic resonance ies in blood flow that occur with brain activity” Prof Shen explained to Wu Siyu and Cai Zixuan, “During the test, Ah Jun will be given a sties to his blood floe can determine the neuronal activation of specific brain areas That triangulation can help us deter” Wu Siyu looked through the labto see Gu Jun lying on the fMRI bed “Prof Shen, can you lower the explanation to normal people level?”

Actually Cai Zixuan did not understand fMRI that well either Modern medicine had too y so some of the terms flew over his head as well He did soood friend today and he barely grasped what Prof Shen said
