Chapter 21 Section 20

At 9:20, Ling Di came to the place where Wu Leting lived.After entering, Ling Di closed the door.He had no time to visit Wu Leting's residence, and after sitting on the sofa, he asked, "Do you know why the dean fired both of us at the same time?" "What else could it be? Of course it's Old Di." Wu Leting said. "What happened to Old Di?" "Dean Ge told me that Mr. Di is going to be transferred to another place, so there is no need to hire me to take care of him - isn't that what he told you?" Ling Di shook his head in frustration. "The dean just said that my probationary period has passed, and he is not satisfied with me... But I think he is not telling the truth."

"Yes, it was a lie. What he told me was also a lie," Wu Leting said. "Then what's the real situation?" Ling Di asked. Wu Leting said: "Mr. Di said that he didn't know about the transfer. And, not only that, a lot of what the dean said before were lies. We were all kept in the dark by him." "For example? What lies did he tell?" Wu Leting stared at him: "We discussed it that day. It was confirmed by me later—in fact, Mr. Di didn't suffer from chronic myelogenous leukemia at all. He was secretly imprisoned here by the dean for thirteen years. !"

Ling Di opened his mouth wide, looking very surprised. "So, do you understand? The two of us were dismissed not for any other reason, but because anyone who is responsible for taking care of Mr. Di can't stay there for too long, otherwise this matter will be ruined." Ling Di was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Why did Dean Ge 'raise' Mr. Di there for so many years?" "Because he wants something from Old Di." Wu Leting stared at him and said. "What?" Ling Di asked suspiciously. Wu Leting took a deep breath. "The next thing I'm going to tell you is about this 'thing'. Doctor Ling, these things happened yesterday. It sounds crazy. But I hope you can believe me. I swear, I'm not crazy. I said It's all true!"

Ling Di swallowed, as if mentally prepared. "Go ahead." Wu Leting began to describe the terrible things that happened yesterday. "Old Di knew that the dean used lies to send me away. He also realized that he might never see me again, so he asked me to do something for him..." Then, Wu Leting explained the whole process in detail, including the fact that the dean called her this morning.While listening, Ling Di screamed out several times.In the end, the whole person froze. After a while, the pale Ling Di asked with staring eyes: "So, Old Man Di is dead, and his head..." He swallowed hard. "Is it here with you now?"

"Yes, this is the 'thing' Dean Ge wants." Ling Di showed an unbelievable expression. "What does he want a dead man's head for?" "I don't know either. Moreover, what makes me more confused is, what should I do now? Should I do as Mr. Di told me, or give this head to the dean? Dr. Ling, I need your advice and help." Ling Di stared at Wu Leting for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I really want to believe what you said, but...well, let me take your temperature, okay?" Wu Leting turned her head to one side, and sighed irritably, "God, do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Ling Di said in embarrassment: "Wu Leting, this kind of thing... If it were you, or anyone else, I'm afraid it would be hard for you to accept and believe it." Wu Leting thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll show you the evidence." As she spoke, she walked to the bed, took out the dark leather bag from under the bed, and handed it to Ling Di. "Old Di's head is placed inside." Ling Di hesitated for a few seconds, then took the purse.Wu Leting was surprised to find that the expression on his face changed just after he took the bag. "Huh..." Ling Di let out a long breath. "I finally got it. Twelve hours have passed, and it will be too late."

Wu Leting felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.This cold air is gradually freezing her body from bottom to top.She stared dumbfounded at the person in front of her, and slowly asked, "What did you say?" Ling Di was a completely different person at this moment, he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.Suddenly, he turned his head and shouted at the door: "Okay, here's the thing, come in." With a "bang", the door was pushed open.Dean Ge walked in with a blank expression while carrying a medical kit, then quickly turned around and locked the door that had been ajar before.When he saw the leather bag in Ling Di's hand, he immediately showed joy. "What's inside is 'that', right?!"

Ling Di nodded slightly. Wu Leting's eyes almost burst open, she pointed at the two people with bloodless face, and tremblingly said: "You...are in the same group!" "Sorry, Ms. Wu Leting, I didn't let you know until now that besides me, there is this kind-hearted Doctor Ling who has been deceiving you." Dean Ge sneered. "But you know too late." With that said, he opened the medical box and took out a needle tube from it.He put the medical kit on the coffee table, and walked slowly towards Wu Leting. "Take it easy, it's not going to kill you, I just want you to sleep."

Wu Leting backed away in horror, but only a few steps back to the wall. "You...don't come here!" "I didn't lie to you, really." Dean Ge made a "sincere" expression, and slowly approached Wu Leting. "I won't kill you, you sleep well, and you won't remember anything after you wake up." "No!" Wu Leting grabbed a chair beside her and blocked it in front of her. "If you take one step closer, I will fight you hard!" Dean Ge sighed, and said to Ling Di who was standing aside: "Come here and help me, this girl is not so honest."

Ling Di silently walked to the coffee table, put the leather bag on it, then took out another needle stopper from the medical box, and walked towards Wu Leting. It's over.Wu Leting let out a desperate cry from the bottom of her heart.In any case, I am no match for two big men! Seeing Dean Ge and Ling Di slowly approaching her one after the other, the fear and despair in Wu Leting's heart made her feel weak.Let alone wrestling with them, even the chair in his hand would be unsteady. Dean Ge was less than one meter away from Wu Leting.That sharp needle was about to pierce her... At this time, something unexpected happened to Wu Leting.The position of the artery on Dean Ge's neck was suddenly pierced by a needle.With a cry of surprise, he turned his head away and looked at Ling Di behind him in astonishment.Within five seconds, he collapsed, unconscious.

Wu Leting looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment, her brain was in a mess, she really didn't understand what was going on.At this moment, Ling Di had already thrown the completed needle aside, and said to Wu Leting: "Okay, don't be nervous, I won't hurt you." Wu Leting was still holding on to the chair tightly, blocking in front of her, with a posture of guard. Ling Di laughed, sat down on the sofa a few meters away, and said gently: "Wu Leting, please put down the chair and sit on it, and listen to me carefully, okay? Now, I will tell you everything exactly. you." Wu Leting hesitated for a moment, then, as he said, sat on the chair for self-defense, staring closely at the man she couldn't understand. Ling Di seemed particularly relaxed.He smiled and said, "You really don't have to be nervous. If I want to harm you, I've already done it just now. Why wait until now?" Wu Leting didn't dare to take it lightly, she couldn't believe what this unpredictable man said. Ling Di said: "I know what you're thinking now—what song is this man named Ling Di singing? At the beginning, I was a comrade-in-arms in the alliance; in a moment, he became an accomplice of the dean; and now The situation is even more confusing.” He smiled again. "You will understand after listening to me." Wu Leting's vocal cords can finally make a sound. "Go ahead." Ling Di was silent for a few seconds, as if his mind traveled far away and returned to reality. "Have you heard of 'memory transplantation'?" Wu Leting looked at him suspiciously, frowning slightly. "Let me explain to you." Ling Di said, "Scientists have actually discovered a fact a long time ago - the memory space in the human brain is actually very large. For example, suppose there is a person with an extraordinary memory He can memorize the Encyclopedia Britannica completely, and the 'memory hard drive' in his brain only uses less than 10% of the space." Wu Leting didn't understand what Ling Di said had anything to do with what she had encountered. "Listen to me patiently." Ling Di stretched out his fingers and gestured. "Scientists in many advanced countries are trying to perform memory transplantation with various techniques - surgery, memory chip transplantation, etc." Ling Di looked at Wu Leting. "Do you know why these scientists are so keen on this research? Because, if the memory of a dead person can be transplanted to another, it means that this person is 'reborn' in a special form ' is." Wu Leting opened her mouth slightly.She understood a little bit. Ling Di continued: "Unfortunately, scientists in our most advanced countries have not really found a safe and secure method to perform memory transplantation. Some scientists have even given up on this research, thinking that it is too difficult. but--" Having said this, he became excited. "No one knows—or rather, the vast majority of people in this world don't know—that someone had mastered this great technology more than 10,000 years ago!" Wu Leting stared at Ling Di in surprise, as if looking at someone she had never seen before. "It's unbelievable, right. If I tell others what I said, it won't be surprising if they are questioned or ridiculed. But you—" Ling Di pointed at her and said, "Wu Leting, only you shouldn't doubt what I said. If so. Your experience in the past two months is the best proof!" Wu Leting opened her eyes wide and said, "You mean, the stories Mr. Di told me are actually his own personal experience, because he..." "Because he's an Atlantean. You never dreamed of that, did you?" Wu Leting's breathing stopped. "You said... who is he?" "You heard me right—the Atlanteans. Of course you know about Atlantis, but you never imagined that you would get along with an Atlantean for such a long time." "The lost ancient continent... Atlantis, does it really exist?" Wu Leting was astonished. "Of course it existed, there is no doubt about it." Ling Di said seriously, "Scientists have long found the remains of Atlantis at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean - underwater cities, temples, pyramids, and the mysterious subsea The civilization of Atlantis—isn’t that enough proof of its existence?” Wu Leting's mind was spinning hard. "You said Di Lao was from Atlantis, but according to records, didn't the continent of Atlantis sink to the bottom of the sea more than 10,000 years ago?" "Yes, this continent sank to the bottom of the sea. However, the Atlanteans were not completely extinct. A small number of lucky people survived." "Even so, it's impossible for Di Lao to live for more than 10,000 years!" Ling Di smiled and said, "Of course. Atlanteans are not immortal." He leaned forward and stared into Wu Leting's eyes. "However, they have found a special way to achieve 'immortality'." "Memory transplant." Wu Leting understood. "Yes! Atlantis has an advanced civilization that surpasses ours by several times. They have many great inventions and magical technologies. One of them is memory transplantation!" "Is Di Lao one of the targets of the memory transplant?" "Not one of them, but the only Atlantean who has received a memory transplant." Ling Di stared at Wu Leting. "Do you know why? Because he is an experimental subject." Wu Leting's eyes widened. "Experimental subject?" "That's right. Scholars in Atlantis have developed a method for memory transplantation. So, they selected a person as an experimental subject. However, what they experimented with was not just memory transplantation, but— —How many memory transplants can this person perform—that is, how long can a person 'live' through this method!" Wu Leting was shocked and speechless for a long time.After quite a while, she finally opened her mouth and said, "As it turned out...he 'lived' for more than 10,000 years, until now?" "Yes!" Ling Di became excited again. "I'm afraid this result is something that the scholars of Atlantis did not expect. The method they conceived has really achieved 'immortality' from a certain angle!" Wu Leting thought for a moment and asked, "How does the memory transplant work?" "This is the great thing about this technology! It can be done without complicated surgery, just a small prop!" While talking, Ling Di carefully took out something from the inner bag of his jacket - it was a small prop like a syringe, but it was not transparent.Its front end is even more slender than the needle tube, and there are wonderful patterns painted on the whole body.At first glance, it was an extremely ancient and mysterious item. "This is the tool for memory transplantation." Ling Di pinched the special "needle" with two fingers. "It's called the 'Memory Injector.'" Wu Leting said: "You mean, this was invented by the Atlanteans more than 10,000 years ago? How could it be in your hands? Who are you?" "The 'memory transplantation method' invented by the people of Atlantis is very simple. But the problem is that the memory transplantation can only be carried out after the death of the experimental subject. After his death, the 'Executor' helped him perform memory transplants." "Are you the 'executor'?" "To be precise, I am one of countless 'executors' over the past 10,000 years." Ling Di said proudly. "You can imagine—through memory transplantation, the experimental subject was reborn in different people again and again. It has been 'living' until now. But the executor obviously cannot live for so long. Therefore, each generation of executors will choose a 'Successor'. This successor will continue to wait by the experimental subject's side, and when the experimental subject dies, he will help him complete the memory transplant." "This kind of thing... has been going on for more than 10,000 years?" Wu Leting's vocal cords were trembling. "It's unbelievable, isn't it. It's truly a miracle. And, it's been a long, dramatic process." Ling Di went on to say: "The original subjects and executors were all Atlanteans. But this experiment was only carried out once or twice, and a huge natural disaster fell on Atlantis. Just Like the legend, this continent sank to the bottom of the sea. Most of the Atlanteans died in the bottom of the sea along with their advanced civilization. However, a small number of people escaped using advanced escape equipment. Experimental subjects And Executor is one of these lucky ones. "In the following years, these surviving Atlanteans gradually merged with our current humans. The subjects of the 'rebirth' of the experimental subjects also became our current humans—and so did the executors." Wu Leting remembered the stories Di Nong told her, and she understood. "This experimental subject has experienced countless 'rebirths', and some of the bodies he 'occupied' were once important figures in human history." "That's right." Ling Di smiled slightly. "It's not just him. Among the executors of the past, there are also many famous figures in history." In an instant, Wu Leting thought of many things - Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, Dr. McCormick, Wallace, Mona Lisa, the god who built the pyramid... She also remembered the "hope" on Dinon's chest. Blue Diamond"—God, are these people the subjects of this experimental subject's rebirth?And the one waiting by their side—such as Da Vinci—is one of the executors? "I know what you're thinking." Looking at Wu Leting's expression, Ling Di guessed it. "That's right, the stories that Dinon told you are obviously not made up by him, and you now know what's going on." There was a long silence.Wu Leting said: "This experimental body has been reborn to the present, it is Dinong. But, I am afraid that he does not really want to be an experimental subject? Otherwise, why would he ask me to take his head away and destroy it? Isn't this just wanting to be a test subject?" End it all?" "That's right." Ling Di admitted, "This experimental subject was very willing to cooperate with this experiment at the beginning. But as the number of rebirths increases, after a few years, he may feel tired or tired. He expects To be able to die completely like an ordinary person, without waking up from another strange body again. That's why he made such a request to you." "But you, the executor, cannot fulfill his wish. You must continue this experiment." Ling Di stood up and walked in front of Wu Leting. "Let me ask you, if you are the entrusted executor, will you let this miracle that has existed for tens of thousands of years end in your own hands?" Wu Leting opened her mouth, unable to speak. Ling Di looked at the dean who was unconscious on the ground. "Perhaps you have guessed it, Dean Ge is the next rebirth target." "Did you choose this?" "No." Ling Di shook his head and said, "When Dean Ge was young, he was a student of Mr. Di, and he had a good relationship with Mr. Di. Like you, he has heard the stories told by Mr. Di. He is very smart and conscious. It is impossible for these stories to be made up, but Di Lao learned about them through some magical means." "So he got the secret about 'memory transplantation' out of Old Di's mouth?" "No, Dinon's trust in him has not yet reached this level. In fact, after 'living' for so long, it seems that he doesn't trust anyone anymore." Having said this, Ling Di looked at it with great interest. Wu Leting. "Except for you. He actually asked you to do such a favor, which shows how much he trusts you. This is really rare." Wu Leting remained silent.After a while, he said, "Then how did Dean Ge know these secrets?" "Can't you figure it out?" Ling Di said a little strangely, "Of course I told him." "What is your purpose for doing this?" Ling Di breathed out. "As the executor who hides beside Di Nong, I have been trying my best to complete my task - to choose a suitable rebirth object by his side. Dean Ge is the most suitable candidate for me over the years. He is also very willing .Because, once his memory and Dinon's memory are fused together, it means that he also becomes a part of 'eternal life'. So..." "So he used this hospice hospital to secretly put Dinon under house arrest. And you are the real mastermind behind the scenes." Wu Leting said angrily, "For every new girl who comes to take care of Dinon—first by the hospital The chief told me that Dinon was mentally ill; then, in front of everyone, you pretended to be a new doctor, but you were actually spying on him.” "That's right, that's what you said." Ling Di stared at Wu Leting, "But do you know why I did this?" Wu Leting looked at him. "I'm choosing the next 'executor'." Ling Di leaned down, leaned close to Wu Leting's face, and stared at her. "And I found it. It's you."
