Chapter 65 Tang Yuan Note 11

X month X day. I must remember the scene of that night.If you don't get it clear, you won't be able to sort out your mood. It was past three o'clock in the morning when Junichi Naruse called. He said it was urgent and asked me to go to the school's research office. When he arrived at the research room, he was already waiting in front of the door.Looking at him, I gasped.It wasn't him who was controlled by Kyogoku's brain standing there, but him just after the surgery—Narase Junichi. "You recovered?" I suppressed my surprise and asked. He smiled faintly, and slowly shook his head: "It's not recovery, it's just that in this short moment, Chunyi came back to me."

"Just a moment?" "Let's go into the room first, there are too many things to say, but too little time left for me." I nodded and opened the door.We sat opposite each other across a small table, as we did when he was being treated and examined. "Let's start with Oedipus." He told me what happened these days, calmly as if he was talking about his childhood memories, but the content was beyond my imagination.I was too shocked to speak, "Then I discovered possibility," he said. "possibility?" "The way to get rid of the Kyogoku Undead."

"What did you say?" I was shocked and leaned over.However, the method he said could not be realized after all. What he said was: Just remove the transplanted parts altogether. I replied: "That's not okay, then you will become a useless person, and you may die if you don't do it well." But he strongly demanded another operation, even if you become a useless person. "The so-called useless person is just for this world. Even if he can't live in this world, Naruse Junichi can still live in the unconscious world. The evidence is that he didn't disappear, but he called me like this."

"The unconscious world..." "I believe that the world is not small at all. There, you can open the outside world and step into the outside life. Even if the operation does not go well, it doesn't matter if you die. It's better than being a person who wants to kill the woman who loves you. Be nice." I have no reason to take his word for it.He looked beyond me into the distance, perhaps at the unconscious world he imagined.But I still refused.As a doctor, I cannot deprive a living person of his consciousness, let alone risk his death. "It turns out that I can let the killer kill me, but I can't do it myself!" When he said this, his eyes were piercing.

I said I can't do it anyway. He closed his eyes and remained motionless for a long time. "I can't help it." He finally said, "Since you refuse, I can't help it." "I can't do unreasonable things, but I will do my best to treat you." "Full power?" He seemed to be laughing again, said goodbye and stood up, walked to the door and asked again, "Is there no spare brain?" "spare?" "A brain that can be transplanted has a probability of one in 100,000 that is suitable for my brain." "Oh," I nodded, "unfortunately, no."

"Then I'm relieved, enough is enough." He walked out. It took a moment for me to understand the meaning of his words.Just as I stood up, the gun went off.It's over!I rush out of the room. He was lying in the hallway with a ruptured right side of his brain and a gun in his left hand.It turned out later that he had taken the gun from the officer before he met me. What happened thereafter need not be elaborated upon.I am determined to help Naruse Junichi no matter what, that is a kind of compensation. After overcoming various man-made obstacles, Teki achieved great success.Of course, the transplant was not possible this time, but the life was saved.

Naruse Junichi became a person living in the unconscious world as he himself hoped.His expression indeed seemed to be brimming with happiness until the end of his short life this morning.We don't know what kind of life he spent in the unconscious world, and we don't know whether that world exists as he expected. From the time after the brain transplant operation until he gave up the transplanted brain, we have a nearly perfect record of everything that happened during this period.These will undoubtedly be very useful for future research, but probably will not be made public.The attempted suicide of Junichi Naruse will remain a mystery forever.

We have a new big topic—what is human death? The reason why Junichi Naruse had to be dealt with in secret is not only because the brain transplanted to him came from the criminal Kyogoku, but also because the surgery ended up giving him misfortune. These are trivial matters.The biggest problem is that Kyogoku survived even though it was just a tiny piece of brain.He was judged to be heart-dead and his brain waves stopped, but he was still alive.It is true that not all of his brain cells died, which is why the transplant was possible. So, isn't it impossible to judge the death of a person?Even if all the life reactions we know disappear, people may still be alive quietly and in ways we can't even imagine.

This is our problem, and it will probably never be solved. Ironically, after the incident, someone wanted to buy the large number of paintings he left behind.It may be that his girlfriend Ye Cunhui has exhibited several paintings in his name, which have been highly praised, or it may be that the controversy about him has played a role.Ye Cunhui used the money from selling paintings to continue Chunyi's life. She had just left and had come to thank me for having taken care of me for a long time.In fact, I was deeply moved by her devotion. At that time, she showed me a painting and said that it was the only one she kept with her and did not sell it, and that it was Chunyi's last painting.

It is said that it was the only painting of a nude woman he ever painted. Although it was not finished, her freckles were painted very carefully.
