Chapter 597 - 597: Identity

Everything pointed towards the same conclusion. The girl was the same. 

And with the sudden insurance of the memory, it was even odder. In fact, it was so odd that he even wondered if the memory was actually from the past or implanted in his head only now. 

Because whoever this girl was, she wasn't anyone ordinary. That energy wave was very powerful, after all. 

He wanted to stay alert, but he also knew that he couldn't just ignore that dream. It was fine if it was planted just now, but if it wasn't planted and was actually a real dream he had in the past, then he couldn't ignore it. 

The girl was somewhat related to him, if that was true. Moreover, she wasn't that bad either in that case. 

"This girl... I can't leave her behind either. It doesn't matter if she's actually related to me or not. Just the fact that she is so strong that she could release an energy wave despite being seemingly dead should be enough."

" Moreover, even if it was a planted dream, that could only mean her mind is still active. That in itself is something to consider. I'll take her back."

He closed the coffin again and used his wind to make the coffin follow him as he flew back. 

After getting back to the academy, he took the coffin in his hands before calling out Jane. "Bring me in!"

His sharp voice reached far and wide, reaching the depths of the medical facility. 

He didn't need to do that though. Jane was already looking at him through his gloves. She already knew he was coming back with the coffin. She was also intrigued about the coffin as well. 

She commanded Aia to bring Lucifer inside with the coffin he was carrying. 

Lucifer appeared inside the medical room, keeping the coffin down. 

"What's that coffin?" Jane asked, acting ignorant. "You brought it for your friend?" 

"There's another girl inside. I want you to analyze her as well. Tell me if she is fine or dead." Lucifer opened the Coffin, revealing the girl that was already seen by Jane. 

He picked up the beautiful girl in his arms and carried her to the third bed. He placed her on the bed. "Also, tell me how much you know about her. Who is she? Why was she buried here?"

"I don't personally remember her. I never saw this face before. I'm sure I wouldn't have forgotten if I did. Also, she can't be a teacher or a student here either. We wouldn't have buried her outside if she was," Jane replied, observing the girl. 

"However, we can try asking Aia."

Jane touched her gloves. "Aia, analyze the new girl. Also, run a facial recognition in the database to find more about her."

"Affirmed..."

A similar glass appeared around the violet-haired girl, which sealed her. A green light started scanning her. 

"Analysis finished."

" No damage seen in the body. Mind is still active, but the heart isn't beating."

"Conclusion: It's something I never saw before. She appears to be in some kind of coma, but her heart isn't beating."

" Suggestion: Can attempt to jump-start the heart, but the chances are low."

"That's intriguing. So her body is dead, but her mind is alive?" Jane let out, rubbing her chin. "An interesting case. I'm sure the city hospitals would love to have a case like that..."

'Mind active but body dead. It sounds similar to what I heard her say in the dream. So whatever's left of her is hiding in her dreamland, keeping her mind active. However, her body is still perfectly fine.'

'Despite not getting any energy or blood, she seems perfectly fine.'

Lucifer observed the girl. 

"Shall I ask Aia to attempt starting her heart?" Jane asked Lucifer, bringing his attention back to her. 

"Go ahead," Lucifer replied, trying to see if it was going to work. "No, wait!"

Even though he had given her permission, he stopped abruptly, thinking of something. 

The coffin was probably there for a long time, most probably. However, the energy wave never came to destroy the academy. It was only when his lightning fell in the surrounding that it came.

If that was the case, it wasn't a good idea to use electricity in a place like this. If that energy wave came again, it could destroy the facility again. Another energy wave was certainly going to destroy the chances of Salazar's survival. 

"What? Why?"

"You don't have to attempt it now. First, find me her identity." 

"Her identity? Ah, right. Aia, did you find anything about her?"

"Negative. There is no match in the database." Aia's emotionless voice fell in everyone's ears. 

"It looks like I was right." Jane turned to Lucifer. "She isn't anyone that was a part of the academy."

"Should I start the electric therapy now?"

"As I said, there's no need. I'll handle everything myself. Just heal my friend and tell me the way to leave this place to get outside."

"You mean to Triton? There's only one way to leave.." Jane replied. 

"What way?"

"The only way in and out of Atlantis is through the teleportation portals that are made in the cities. But they are controlled by the Royal Army. You'll have to talk to them if you want to leave. They can arrange a way back."

"No other way to get out is Atlantis?" Lucifer asked. 

"Not really. That's the only way. In fact, we're a pretty small academy. We don't have much equipment. We only barely managed to bring a teleportation grid to the academy that could only be used in close surroundings."

"Our teleportation portals can't send anyone to the cities. If they could, we would have run away already. Only cities have bigger and better technology. They can teleport anywhere they want, even here."

"You can only use their facility if you want to leave. Other than that, there's no way out."

"What about the dome at the top? If I break it and go to the surface of the sea, how far will Triton be?"

"I am not sure about that. There is no data about the direction of Triton. All I know is that it's pretty far and not something which can be reached through flight, even if you can get to the surface of the sea."

"So there's no other way except getting to the city?" Lucifer asked again just to be sure. 

"Exactly. That's why I couldn't tell you the directions when you asked. Because we don't know ourselves."

"Is that so? Didn't you say that it was because of my arrogance that you weren't telling?" Lucifer asked, frowning.
