BCGWR Chapter 32 Part 2

Jung Ha-jin said, laying Han Ji-su down on the neat medical bed he had indicated. “He bled a lot from his ears and nose. Enough to thoroughly soak the pillow and bedsheets. He can’t even control his body.”

At Jung Ha-jin’s explanation, Professor Choi Seong-hun, saying that such bleeding was also a symptom of Brain Overload, pulled over a round, backless, wheeled chair, sat down, checked Ji-su’s pupil reaction, and asked, “Han Ji-su Guide. Can you speak?”

“……Just……a little……” Seeing Ji-su speak haltingly, struggling to form a full sentence, Choi Seong-hun nodded. Then, reaching out to Ji-su’s temple, he spoke in a soft, calm voice.

“Han Ji-su Guide. You have a severe Brain Overload right now, causing a fever. You’re practically a ball of fire. The bleeding indicates some damage, so we need to calm your brain first.”

“……Wait……a moment……”

“Don’t worry about anything, just relax.”

“……Pro……fessor……Just……a moment……”

“Later. Let’s do it later. Right now, the patient’s condition is……”

“Don’t……do it……”

“……”

“……Don’t……do that again……please……”

“……”

Choi Seong-hun withdrew his hand and stared intently at Ji-su’s face. Ji-su, struggling to even hold his head up, tried to look up at Professor Choi Seong-hun and said,

“I’ll……I’ll try my best to……endure it myself……”

“……”

“Professor……Please……I beg……you……”

Choi Seong-hun, who had been about to say something urgently, saw Ji-su’s eyes, fell silent for a moment, then cautiously asked,

“Have you recently had clear thoughts of Kang Jae-yoon Esper? Not vaguely, but clearly?”

“……Yes…….Before coming here……” Choi Seong-hun, discerning that Han Ji-su had answered honestly without lying, nodded and reached out his hand again.

“Hmph……Han Ji-su Guide. First, I won’t use brainwashing skills. I promise you that. But your brain is on the verge of overheating, so we need to cool it down. You need to get some sleep. You’ll just sleep for a short while and then wake up. Do you understand what I mean?”

“……Yes……”

Once Ji-su finally agreed to the treatment, Choi Seong-hun spread his hand wide, covered Ji-su’s small head, and activated his skill.

Jung Ha-jin and Toto watched in silence as a black, hazy Aura-like energy emanating from Professor Choi Seong-hun’s hand permeated Ji-su’s head.

After a few seconds, seeing that Ji-su had fallen into a deep sleep, Choi Seong-hun let out a deep sigh, took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples.

He rubbed his temples for a moment, as if deep in thought with his eyes squeezed shut, then put his glasses back on, stood up, and walked to his desk. After typing a few keys, Choi Seong-hun looked at Jung Ha-jin with a tired face and said,

“Haaah……First, I’ve blocked the brain’s flow. While he sleeps, he won’t dream at all, and his brain will remain in a state of suspended animation. He should feel much better. For more details, I need to speak with his guardian, but Han Ji-su Guide’s guardian is registered as Kim Hyun-ah Esper.”

“Kim Hyun-ah Esper is currently clearing the Daegu Dungeon. You can speak to me. I am his guardian for now.”

Choi Seong-hun gazed at Jung Ha-jin, who had taken a seat in the chair opposite him without being asked. Then, rather than giving an answer, he met Jung Ha-jin’s eyes and stroked his chin as if observing something.
