Reiki

Dr. Li Xinlian spoke vividly.

Even Chu Ge was gradually attracted by her.

The jungle seemed to have turned into a turbulent island. On the jagged rocks on the shore, a bloody girl was healing herself at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hundreds of indigenous people cheered and danced around her.

Weird!

fear!

mystery!

Chu Ge raised his wrist to check the time.

Knowing that Dr. Li Xinlian was deliberately delaying time, waiting for the rescue of Ms. Goliath and the lizardman Shilan.

Chu Ge still did not interrupt her narration.

After all, Chu Ge still needs to find out the enemy's weaknesses and motives through Dr. Li Xinlian's story, in order to better deal with the enemy.

"After a few days, it will be the time when the wind and waves are the strongest in the year."

Dr. Li Xinlian continued, "For a whole month, the tribe's canoes could not sail to the sea to catch fish, and the tribe could only pick coconuts and dried salted fish for food, and held a second ceremony.

"In this festival, Amber was once again dressed up beautifully, but it was no longer in the shape of a demon, but changed into something similar to 'Goddess of Storms' or 'Goddess of Waves'.

"The people of the tribe are still the same old way, first shouting and killing her, abusing her wantonly, and after she recovers, they worship her as a god or a savior.

"Similar festivals were held several times later.

"Sometimes Amber plays the 'devil', sometimes Amber plays the 'Goddess of Storm', and sometimes Amber plays the 'Goddess of Death' and the 'Goddess of Fate' who control life and death. Eight ceremonies were held, and Amber also played eight different roles.

"This kind of ritual where mortals play gods and demons is a very common cultural phenomenon in primitive tribes. Even in modern civilized society, there are tricks such as 'inviting gods to get on their bodies'.

"The problem is that in most of the similar rituals of primitive tribes, whether the priests, witches, shamans and other roles of gods and demons, or the audience, it is very clear that the actors are not real gods and demons, this is just a ceremony .

"Even if the audience believes that at the moment of the ceremony, the gods and demons can really possess the actor, but after the ceremony, the actor will still return to ordinary.

"However, after I spent the next six months studying the language, writing and culture of the Austronesian people, and talking to a large number of Austronesian people, including the close communication with Amber himself, I found that no matter whether those tribesmen who threw stones at Amber or Amber herself believes that they are not simply acting in the ceremony, but a retelling of the past, and Amber is the real god and demon, or in other words, even if she is "acting", she is just playing her past self!"

Chu Ge frowned: "I don't read much, so can you stop talking about it so profoundly, what do you mean by 'playing your past self'?"

"It's very simple. Perhaps one day hundreds or even thousands of years ago, Amber went berserk and turned into a demon, killing many people in the tribe."

Dr. Li Xinlian said, "Hundreds of years later, in an unprecedented super storm, she braved the stormy waves and rescued several canoes drifting outside.

"In an unexpected volcanic eruption, Amber was regarded as the 'Goddess of Fire',

She is feared and hated by people; and in another sudden tsunami, relying on Amber's healing ability, she saved the entire tribe, so everyone called her "Goddess of Hope".

"In short, Amber has lived for too long, so long that it has almost run through the history of the South Island tribe for thousands of years. During her long life, she has played various roles and has been adopted by generations of South Island tribes in different ways. People are in awe, love, vigilance and loathing.

"Perhaps at a certain point in time, out of boredom with eternal life, she once gave up on herself, changed her temperament drastically, and tried to destroy everything within her sight.

"But after waking up, she still loves her tribe deeply and is determined to protect the whole world forever.

"That's why people in the South Island regard Amber as a living god and demon. Those ceremonies are used to please her or warn her. That's probably what happened."

"Long life spanning the history of the South Island, living... gods and demons?"

Chu Ge showed an unbelievable expression, and couldn't help but look at Hu Po's innocent face. Why did the more he looked, the more unreliable it became?

"is this real?"

Chu Ge asked Amber, "Do you still remember the things you did as a 'god and demon' hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Amber shook her head quickly, and said timidly, "I don't remember anything."

"Isn't that justified?"

Chu Ge said, "Those unchanging and boring lives can be forgotten, but how can such important memories be lost, such as saving the tribe from volcanic eruptions and stormy waves, or going crazy and killing people?"

"Maybe it's not slowly forgotten, but actively cleared."

Dr. Li Xinlian gave an analogy, "It's like having a computer that has been used for decades. If you want to keep the system clean and operate smoothly, you must regularly clean up junk data, or even deeply 'format' it? What's more, Now it is not a question of decades, but a question of hundreds of thousands of years!

"If the memories of thousands of years are vivid, the brain will definitely not be able to withstand such a strong and complex data impact, it will either explode alive, or the speed of operation will be severely reduced, and it will become an idiot who cannot think.

"So, Amber doesn't remember much about what happened in the past. It's normal, but hundreds of people in the tribe can testify, especially those old people who are wrinkled, stooped, and dying-many old people can testify that when they were still When they were young children, Amber was what you see now. Until their lives came to an end, Amber was still forgotten on the island in the long river of time, and their father, their father's father, saw the same An amber."

"So, you encouraged your father to betray the Earth Alliance because of some...indigenous certificates?"

Chu Ge said, "What a rigorous academic spirit!"

"Of course it's not as rough as you think."

Dr. Li Xinlian snorted coldly and said, "Early before I heard such an amazing truth from the natives, I collected some of Amber's blood to study the mystery of her super self-healing ability and healing skills. As a result, A few months later, I found that some of the blood samples soaked in strong oxidants still maintained the strongest activity, as if they were just taken out of the body.

"I used Amber's blood to do more than a dozen different experiments, and with the proof of the natives, I came to the conclusion that they were neither lying nor mass hysteria. Amber is a woman who has lived for hundreds of years or even Thousand-year-old immortals, even... immortal immortals!"

"Eternal man?"

Chu Ge couldn't help shivering, and murmured, "But why?"

"have no idea."

Dr. Li Xinlian slowly shook her head and said, "No one knows why Amber can live for such a long time. I compared her genetic samples with other Austronesian people and confirmed that they are very distantly related—to put it simply, Amber did. It's their long-ago ancestors, whose genes don't differ much.

"I have observed carefully that Amber's daily routine and food are no different from ordinary South Islanders.

"But other Austronesians have a normal life expectancy, between 40 and 50 years old.

"Only Amber is the alien among them, sealed in time alone, no one knows why.

"With the portable experimental equipment I carry with me, I can only do so much research at most. If I want to explore the deeper mystery of immortality, I have to seek help from the outside world. Of course, who else can I turn to besides my father? ?”

"You can seek help from the authorities."

Chu Ge frowned and said, "You and Lion King Li Ang, father and daughter, are both prominent figures in the society. I don't believe that once such a tempting research project as the 'Mystery of Immortality' is thrown out, it will lack financial and technical support— —The military, the extraordinary association, the Galaxy Foundation, the Special Investigation Bureau and the world's top 500 companies, who would not be tempted?

"Even if you don't want this kind of secret to be known to the outside world, with the scale and technology research and development strength of the Lion Heart Group, you can do your own research behind closed doors. Even if you invest in the profits of the Lion Heart Group for more than ten or twenty years, it is worth the risk. fight?

"It's not good to find anyone to cooperate with, but I want to find the notorious Tianren organization. Isn't this a volley turning 720 degrees and then flying 360 degrees, and a fierce one plunges into the shit hole?"
