Enns woke up.
Before the severe trauma had fully healed, he was lying upright on the hospital bed and slowly opened his eyes on his own.
However, something seems a little wrong.
"Enns? Enns, can you hear me?"
Maka called softly, and after staring into his eyes for a while, she suddenly stretched out her palm and waved it in front of his eyes.
It can be seen that Enns's eyes are dull. Even if Maka's hand passes in front of him, his eyes have no intention of moving with it.
Although Maka has not only lost the ability to cast magic, but even the perception of magic cannot be extended outside the body, the experience he has accumulated from doing so much research on soul rules is enough to make him realize the problem immediately Where did it go
"Mr. McClain, is this... caused by the brain damage we mentioned before?"
When Bulova next to her asked this, Maka shook her head decisively.
"Although physical brain damage may also cause people to become in this state, Enns's situation is definitely not for this reason - only soul torture that can cause such a degree of damage to the brain can only be done like Haierbo's. Only those who are 'not human' can bear it. If this was the case, Enns would have died long ago!"
"Then...since it's not caused by soul magic similar to the Cruciatus Curse, then what exactly made him become like this?"
While Blois was so confused, he tentatively touched Enns' arm, but there was still no reaction at all.
But who knew, Maka on the side actually shook her head again.
"If I could use magic, I might still be able to check it out, but I'm afraid I can't do it now. But at least it's certain... what makes Enns look like this is also a kind of magic derived from the rules of the soul. And…”
"And what?"
Facing Mr. Blois' questioning, Maka paused for a moment, but finally swallowed the words back.
After all, what he wanted to say was actually about the Devouring Mirror - he felt that Enns' situation was mostly caused by the branch of soul rules controlled by Halpo.
Not only was this matter very troublesome to explain, but he also didn't want others to know about it.
There are some things that the more you know, the more frightening you will feel, but you are often helpless. Even if you say it, it will only make the other party more troubled.
"Mr. Blois, please go back to the hall first! I still need your help with the rune array... As for me, I have already said what needs to be said. If they encounter any problems, they can come back and ask again then. Me!"
"Then this way—"
"I'll think of another way," Maka turned to look at Enns and said, "If I can find a way to recover him without resorting to soul rules, maybe I can design another one that you can make and activate. Maybe the formation will come out!"
Now that Maka said so, Bulova could only nod in response, and then immediately turned around to help Hermione and the others as Maka said.
After Mr. Blois left the medical room, Maca looked at the old housekeeper standing at the end of the bed again.
"Mr. Butler, go and do your work! At least Enns' life has been saved - I think it was you who brought him to Mrs. Michel in time, right? If he regains consciousness later, I will definitely let him He solemnly thanks you!"
"Oh, no, no need!"
The old steward shook his head repeatedly, and after leaning forward slightly to salute, he followed the instructions and ran to direct the servants to prepare for the evacuation.
As a result, only the therapist Mrs. Michelle, Maca herself, Alexander... and Enns, who was still lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, were finally left in the medical room.
But in fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the focus of Enns's eyes is simply empty.
"Professor, Enns is going to be okay, isn't he?"
Seeing that when Mrs. Michel took the blood-promoting potion and fed it to Enns, a lot of it leaked out from the corners of his mouth. Alexander finally couldn't help but ask.
Maka saw that he was clenching his hands into fists and his face was full of worry, so she couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder.
"Yes! It will definitely get better - the most difficult to cure physical brain damage has been ruled out so far, so there are not many possibilities left. As far as I can think of, everyone should be able to recover "..." Maka consoled him with some reasonable words, and then added, "So, it's only a matter of time from now on."
To be more precise, it actually depends on when Maka's own strength will be restored. And as long as he regains his former abilities, the chances of Enns being cured will definitely increase greatly.
Unfortunately, judging from Maka's current situation, the difficulty of restoring his strength is probably far greater than that of Enns' treatment. Even he himself had no idea when he would be able to recover!
Just when Maka finished speaking, and then she and Alexander fell into silence again, the therapist Mrs. Michelle finally put down the potion bottle in her hand, turned to Maka and said:
"Mr. McClain, all non-magical injuries have been dealt with now. As for the symptoms caused by the 'soul magic' you just mentioned... I'm sorry, I really don't know what to do."
"It's okay, Mrs. Michelle, you don't need to apologize." Maka nodded slightly after hearing this, "After all, I think even in the world, we may not be able to find many wizards who are good at treating soul damage. .”
In today's era, not everyone can access the secondary rule runes, let alone study and learn them.
After hearing this, Mrs. Michelle gave a slight bow and then said:
"Then I'll go out first. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. I'll be waiting in the office next door."
"OK, thanks."
Maka smiled at the other party, and after watching the other party leave quietly like the old housekeeper, she closed her mouth again.
And immediately after, there was another period of silence that was somewhat depressing.
…
Not to mention that Maka was meditating in the medical room. Here in the hall, the three girls Hermione, Luna and Delphi had already assembled part of the entire array using the magic words cards drawn by Mr. Blois.
To be honest, although the strict architectural requirements have brought them a lot of trouble, the satisfaction after completion will also be quite great. The three of them... Luna and Delphi aside, Hermione only needs The thought that what they made could transport everyone to a safe place was already very motivating.
Therefore, friends can actually feel that the progress here seems to be quite smooth.
"Work harder and it will be done soon!"
Hermione even started to encourage Luna and Delphi.
