Chapter 264: Mrs. Ai’er
Chapter 264: Mrs. Ai’er
Mrs. Ai’er was a military doctor who had retired from the Federation Battlefield years ago.
When she was young, she was a legendary figure in her legion. With her Level 2S spiritual power, she had saved countless soldiers who had collapsed from the trauma of battle.
The time she spent on the front lines was perhaps longer than some people’s entire lifetimes.
Her achievements and experience in the field of spiritual power made her one of the most distinguished Spirit Healing Masters.
After retiring, she would occasionally see patients on Starry Sky Wander. Mo Chengyu had also come here for treatment when his spiritual power collapsed.
The room was fully equipped. After Mrs. Ai’er had Mo Si place Jiang Qiuqiu in a mechanical pod, she activated the device. The power indicator lit up, and stable waves of spiritual power flowed inward. The hum of the current was faint, yet every sound tugged at Mo Si’s heartstrings.
At first, Mo Si thought Jiang Qiuqiu might have simply fainted from exhaustion or a mistake during training. But after he got home, saw her pale face, and found he couldn’t sense her spiritual power or her Spirit Sea, his heart seized with panic.
The inability to sense her Spirit Sea, her persistent unconsciousness—these were all precursors to spiritual power fragmentation.
She had so happily messaged him about getting into Federation University. She trained her spiritual power every day without slacking, full of curiosity and a desire to explore unknown abilities.
She had also said she loved piloting Mechas.
’If her spiritual power has really fragmented—’
Mo Si realized that his current feelings weren’t about the potential loss of an excellent S-level soldier. Instead, he was filled with a complex, aching sorrow. ’What will she do if she finds out and can’t accept it?’
’No, forget her reaction—as a mere bystander, he already couldn’t accept it.’
Mo Si couldn’t help but take a step forward. He stood before the transparent lid of the pod, gazing at Jiang Qiuqiu lying inside with her eyes shut, and then slowly closed his own.
’What on earth happened? Spiritual power fragmentation... is there any way to fix it?’
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind.
Mrs. Ai’er grew anxious. The moment she heard "spiritual power fragmentation," she immediately mobilized her Original Spiritual Power and carefully scanned Jiang Qiuqiu from head to toe—
’Goodness, that’s enough to give an old woman a heart attack. This isn’t spiritual power fragmentation at all! It’s spiritual power collapse, which is several levels less severe. On top of that, she’s in a coma from overexerting her spiritual power.’
’Little Mo is such a level-headed person, a Level 3S Admiral. He’s seen plenty of cases like this on the battlefield, so how could he have misjudged it...?’ She retracted her spiritual power and glanced sideways at him.
Mrs. Ai’er was stunned for a moment, and then realization dawned on her.
Her eyes, a little clouded with age, filled with a mix of affection and amusement. ’No wonder our "battle-hardened" and "ever-perceptive" Little Mo is in such a frantic state.’
’Ah, so that’s why—’
"Little Mo."
Mrs. Ai’er’s voice brought Mo Si back to his senses. "Mrs. Ai’er, how is she?"
Mrs. Ai’er sighed.
Mo Si’s heart leaped into his throat. "Is it... bad?"
Mrs. Ai’er shook her head. "Not at all. I was just wondering why our Little Mo was so careless today. Who is this young lady to you, anyway?"
"Her Spirit Sea is a little unstable, but if you probe carefully, you’ll find her Original Spiritual Power is just hidden deep inside. It’s still there. There’s no way this should be diagnosed as spiritual power fragmentation."
Mo Si didn’t pay much attention to the first part of what Mrs. Ai’er said; he only latched onto the end. "Her spiritual power hasn’t fragmented?" The joy that flooded him in that instant was written all over his face.
’Oh? So the young man isn’t going to answer my question directly.’
’But it seems I already have my answer.’
