"Well, the treatment officially begins... Mushan, are you okay?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Kimura Haruo nodded vigorously.
"No problem, Mr. Fang Zheng, please leave it to me."
"Okay, let's get started."
Fang Zheng made the decision without further ado. Kimura Haruo took a deep breath and came to the operating table. Everything was ready. She only needed to press Enter...
But the moment Kimura Haruo stretched out her hand, the nightmare from several years ago appeared in her mind again.
Everything that happened at that time... seemed as if it had just happened yesterday.
“……???”
Seeing Kiyama Haruo maintaining that position without any reaction, Misaka Mikoto, Kaihara Kyono and others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on. Fang Zheng sat on the chair next to him and pressed the microphone for the call.
"Mushan, countdown for ten seconds. If you don't do it, I'll do it."
“Eh? Ah…!”
Hearing this, Kimura Haruo came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He raised his head in panic and looked towards Fang Zheng.
"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, please give me a little more time..."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five..."
Fang Zheng was too lazy to listen to Kiyama Haruo's nonsense. When would this sentimentality end? What should be done has been done. The rest is just to see the results. What are you still talking about here?
"Three, two, one..."
Hearing this, Kimura Haruo no longer hesitated, reached out and hit the enter key in front of him.
“——”
Soon, the light strip outside the medical cabin began to flicker, and then the door of the medical cabin slowly opened. Seeing this scene, Kiyama Haruo hurried to the side of the children and looked at them.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, can we go in too?"
Seeing this, Riri Saotome became extremely anxious and asked Fang Zheng hurriedly, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Go ahead."
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girls no longer hesitated and hurriedly entered the medical room through the passage next to them. Then Fang Zheng saw Kaihara Kyono and Harukami Kimi coming to the medical cabin of one of the children and looking at her worriedly. If he was not mistaken, that girl should be Edasaki Banri.
One minute passed, two minutes passed...
"Why is there no response yet?"
Hatsuharu looked at the unconscious children in front of her with some uneasiness, and asked worriedly, while Riri Saten also looked to the side.
"Did you say something went wrong?"
“Woo…”
However, just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a low moan suddenly sounded, and then, under everyone's gaze, Edasaki Banri, who had fallen into a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Kaihara Kyono and Harukami Kimie in front of her and smiled.
"Qiongnai...Jinyi..."
"Banri, I'm glad you're okay...!"
Holding the girl's hands tightly, Kaihara Kyono and Harukami Kimie looked as if they were about to cry, while Edasaki Benri turned her head with great effort, and after seeing Kiyama Haruki, she slowly opened her mouth.
"Teacher Kiyama..."
Hearing this voice, Kimura Haruo could no longer hold on, and fell to his knees, bursting into tears.
Although these children have woken up, the story does not end there. First of all, they have been in a vegetative state for several years, and their muscles have naturally atrophied, so they need to start rehabilitation treatment from scratch - of course, Fang Zheng doesn't care about this, after all, it's rehabilitation, just hire some nurses to help, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem, right?
Of course, after that, Fang Zheng left it to Kimura Haruo to explain the cause and effect of the whole incident to Harukami Kimie and Kaihara Kyono - you have to take responsibility for your own mistakes, this is the most basic thing.
It was at this time that Fang Zheng learned about the life story of the girl named Kaihara Kyono - she actually grew up in an orphanage with Harukami Kimi and Edase Banri, and was later adopted by the chairman of Tokiwadai... No wonder she seemed to have an unusual relationship with these two people.
Fang Zheng was not the only one who was surprised by this.
"I never thought that Kaihara-san was actually Child_Error in the past..."
Hatsuharu muttered to herself, looking very shocked.
"I thought she had been a young lady since she was a child..."
"What does it matter? No matter what Kaihara-san was like in the past, she is still our friend now, right?"
Riri Saotome is obviously more open-minded.
It was obvious that everyone did not intend to dwell on this issue. As Riri Saotome said, no matter what the past was like, the present and the future were the most important.
In the following days, everything was still normal. Fang Zheng paid for nurses to assist the children with rehabilitation, and Misaka Mikoto and the others would come to the institute after school if they had nothing else to do. However, they usually came to the institute in groups of four before, but now there are six - Harukami Kimi and Kaihara Kyono have also joined.
As for Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori, they were in bad luck. Although the children had regained consciousness, they could not solve many problems by themselves, so the two of them had to run around and were very busy. It was better during the day, at least there were nurses to help, but at night...
You know, Fang Zheng assigned them the 007 shift!
Want to take a break? Impossible!
If anyone dared to be lazy, the bracelet would release an electric current twice as strong as the one Misaka Mikoto used to shock Shirai Kuroko, making them unable to take care of themselves. Not to mention that after wearing the bracelet, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori were completely unable to use their own powers, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure, hoping that the British Puritan Church would redeem them as soon as possible.
In the few days that followed, everyone had a rare few days of peace.
Index lives with Saten Ruiko and comes to the research institute every day - this is also a rare time for Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori to relax.
Because the Japanese government was aggressively trying to capture Lupin IV, Riko and Frenda stayed put and did not cause any more trouble. However, according to Riko, Reki had been missing for the past few days and no one knew where she had gone, so the work of investigating Reki was temporarily put on hold.
As for Mai Lu and Maine, they finally decided to confess, but Mai Lu was still a coward after all, she didn't dare to tell her parents, she only told her sister. Maine was very depressed, and she finally confessed the truth to her parents, of course, no one would believe her words, so Fang Zheng also opened a portal for them, allowing both parties to take their families to another world.
And then - Mailu's sister quickly accepted the fact that her sister was reincarnated in another world. On the contrary, Maine, because she had two sets of parents from her past life and this life, the negotiations were obviously more troublesome than Mailu, who was basically treated like Cinderella in this world.
But in the end, the results are still acceptable.
However, the calm outside did not last long.
"Armed Incompetent Group?"
Fang Zheng put down the coffee in his hand and looked at Shirai Kuroko, who nodded slightly tiredly.
"Yes, there have been several cases of armed groups without abilities attacking people with abilities recently. Really... The Fantasy Hand incident just ended not long ago, and I don't know where these people get so much energy from... Oh, and one of our classmates was attacked too."
It must be the photon after marriage.
Hearing what Shirai Kuroko said, Fang Zheng chuckled. He had to admit that this post-marriage Mitsuko was also quite unlucky. She was the victim in almost every incident. In the anime, she participated in incidents as often as anyone else, but she always appeared as a victim. This was quite unlucky.
"But it's really strange, why don't those people with special abilities resist?"
Riri Saotome was obviously very interested in this topic.
"I'm not sure about that. The security guards are investigating..."
Having said that, Shirai Kuroko paused for a moment, perhaps because she remembered what happened when she was fantasizing about the hand, but soon she shook her head.
Maybe I'm too sensitive. Things like this shouldn't happen repeatedly.
But... maybe it's better to investigate it myself.
"Master Fang Zheng."
Just at this moment, Ram appeared again.
"There is a woman who calls herself Teresina, the leader of the Advanced Rescue Team (MAR), who wants to meet with you."
"Terestina..."
Hearing the name, Fang Zheng frowned and then stood up.
"You guys eat first, I'll go out and take a look."
"Okay, Mr. Founder."
Lei Zi and the others were not surprised. After all, as the director of the institute, Fang Zheng must have a lot of things to do, so they didn't pay much attention. Soon, Fang Zheng and Ram came to the door again, and then saw a woman with curly hair wearing an OL uniform standing in the hall.
Therestina.
"Hello."
Seeing Fang Zheng coming, the other party smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Are you Mr. Fang Zheng, the director of the Quantum Neuroscience Institute? I am Teresina, the captain of the MAR Advanced Condition Rescue Team. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."
"What's the matter?"
Fang Zheng completely ignored the other party's outstretched hand and asked. This made Teresina frown, and then she smiled again.
"It's nothing, actually. We just learned that your institute recently took in a group of Child_Errors, so we came here specifically to take over this matter."
"oh?"
Fang Zheng folded his arms and stared at Therestina.
"Why?"
"Your institute is just a research institute. It does not have any documents or qualifications in this regard..."
“We really do.”
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and waved his hand.
"We have the qualification documents of the Child_Error Care Facility. This institute is fully capable of taking in Child_Error, so we will not bother you. Is there anything else?"
Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Therese Tina remained expressionless and continued to try to explain with a smile.
"But the order we received came from the Council..."
"roll."
However, before Teresina could finish her words, she was interrupted by Fang Zheng, and her expression suddenly changed when she heard this.
"What did you say?"
"I told you to get out, did you hear me? I hate you, the idiots of the Kihara clan. That old man Kihara Gensei is not a good guy, and you are not a good guy either. Get out of here right now. If I see you again, I will kill you. Did you hear me?"
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he looked directly at Ram.
"Ram, get her out. If she doesn't go out, kill her."
"Yes, Master Fang Zheng."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Ram nodded, then stood in front of Teresina, staring at her coldly. Seeing this scene, Teresina's face changed several times, but in the end she said nothing and turned away.
Humph, if Lei Zi and the others weren’t still in the research institute, I would have killed you right now.
Looking at Therestina's back, Fang Zheng snorted coldly. He certainly knew what Therestina was here for, and he also knew that she would never give up so easily.
But it doesn’t matter, by then… she will be dead.
