Chapter 147: The Mad Doctor's Near-Death Experiment

Almost instantly, all the experts and viewers found it hard to believe.

They never expected Jiang Zhe to answer in such a way.

The answer was irrefutable.

In fact, it was highly likely to be very close to the truth!

Physical joy will eventually dissipate after a short while.

True joy is a state of mind achieved after looking past life and death.

Even so, most viewers still felt it was unrealistic and unbelievable, even finding Jiang Zhe's answer utterly absurd.

"How is that possible?"

"I don't believe it; the answer can't be [Death]."

"Right, every one of us fears death. Even if some don't, death can't possibly be true happiness."

"To the brothers upstairs, I regret to inform you that Jiang Zhe is right."

"How can you be so sure? Have you died before?"

Regarding this point, those in the livestream who had experienced near-death and returned to life had something to say.

"That's right, I've freaking died before!"

"There is no doubt about it; that's how it is. I was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer last year, and I had a miserable time back then. All my friends and family saw me as a burden. But then I inexplicably got better. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the symptoms were gone. After that, I gained a new perspective. I'm smiling every day now as if the old me completely died. The current me is the real me!"

"Holy crap, this answer is way too sharp. I was also a near-death patient once. After recovering from my major illness, all my negative emotions vanished. Mortgages, car loans—those are not even worth mentioning in the face of death. Afterwards, I lived happier than anyone else. I have a smile on my face every second; nothing in this world is as precious as the present moment."

"+1!"

"..."

Most viewers were simply shocked by the answer.

Only a few viewers who had faced death could deeply relate.

When all the shackles bound to the body are stripped away by [Death], and one is then quietly resurrected...

...the state at that time is far beyond what those who haven't experienced death can understand.

Inside the lecture hall.

The expressions on the faces of Professor Hua Yunfeng and Old Feng shifted rapidly, and they found it difficult to speak for a long time.

Even without having experienced death, they could understand.

When the shackles binding the physical body disappear, a person naturally welcomes a true rebirth!

Or rather, no one understands life better than those who have returned from the brink of death!

Just then, on the screen, Jiang Zhe spoke again to explain in detail:

"Yes, even if you find it hard to believe."

"The truth is indeed this: Death."

"In daily life, humans are restricted by various rules."

"Physical pain, regrets over past life, anxiety about the future—a series of comprehensive factors influence the judgment of the simplest [Us]."

"The torment of illness affects our [perception] of the outside world."

"Regrets about our past lives affect our judgment for moving forward."

"Confusion and anxiety about the future make us ignore the present and start worrying about the future, affecting our confused state of mind that cannot see ahead."

"Hmm..."

He paused for a moment and continued to explain:

"A series of external negative factors affect the cognition and thinking of you, me, and everyone."

"Vast and unnecessary emotions surround us, bringing more distress to our original selves!"

"Or rather!"

"What we yearn for has never been money, love, or power."

"Instead, it is freedom—the ultimate freedom after casting off all shackles and restraints!"

"Under the influence of various hormones in the body, some people feel joy in harming others; some feel joy in helping others; and some feel joy in committing acts that break moral boundaries..."

"All of it is actually based on the influence of the physical body."

"When we strip away the external factor of the [Physical Body], we finally discover that there is actually no difference between you, me, and everyone else in the world."

"Under the influence of the body, we commit crimes, we feel joy, we feel sadness, we feel anxiety, we feel anger, we feel helplessness, we feel regret, and we feel despair!"

"Without the influence of the body, we feel relief, we feel calm, we smile, we feel satisfied, we feel happy, and we experience endless..."

"Freedom!"

At this point, the seriousness on his face vanished, replaced by a smile: "Yes, true [Happiness] has always been the 'us' that is no longer affected by the shackles of the physical body."

"Even if we are all murky and stained right now, in the face of true equality, the real [Us] are actually very fair; we are all the freedom and happiness that comes after letting go of everything."

"Alright, that is all for the second question."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment before belatedly saying, "Thank you... I didn't expect Teacher Jiang's answer to be like this. It's incredibly profound. Thank you, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome. Please connect the third lucky caller."

Jiang Zhe didn't dare say too much more; if he continued to promote the price of this freedom, the outcome would likely be a ban.

Because the truth was right there, and near-death patients had already told the world the truth, but the world could not experience it and would naturally remain lost in the mortal realm.

The experts and viewers were also taking in these philosophical words.

To summarize Jiang Zhe's answer in one sentence: [We were originally carefree, but on top of that carefreeness, for the sake of better social and civilizational development, we suppressed this joy.]

By the end of the explanation, some sociologists had helpless smiles on their faces.

"He makes a lot of sense; mindless happiness is actually meaningless. How long could that kind of happiness last?"

"Yeah, without social conveniences, we humans would still be in the primitive era, living in fear every day of either being killed or failing a hunt."

"I wouldn't want to lose everything I have now for the sake of that [Happiness]."

"I think Jiang Zhe is wrong. This is fundamentally incorrect!"

"Yes, he's used to talking nonsense, and now he's starting to speak without any restraint."

"..."

At this moment, a young biologist gave a mischievous grin. "Uncles and aunts, whether Teacher Jiang is talking nonsense or not, why don't we just go verify it?"

"Verify?" several people asked simultaneously.

The experts on the scene all looked at the young scholar with curiosity.

"Yeah, verify it. Don't you all want to experience true [Freedom and Happiness]?"

The sociologist uncle asked with a curious face, "You have a way?"

Then the group of people all looked at the young man, their eyes lighting up.

"You're not planning to make some kind of powder for us, are you?"

"Young man, we can't do anything illegal!"

"Exactly, exactly."

The young biologist suddenly grinned.

"Just to clarify: I am a biology graduate student and an internist. I recently synthesized a reagent that can cause a person to completely die for 2 minutes, not just a 2-minute near-death state."

"With just one injection, you can experience true [Freedom and Happiness]."

"During that process, you can personally verify all the truths Teacher Jiang mentioned in previous programs."

"I can responsibly say: [What Teacher Jiang said in the past and just now is correct.]"

"Traveling through time, going back to the past, witnessing the universe, witnessing the void, witnessing the Microscopic World, and witnessing the deceased—all of these can be seen within those 2 minutes~~"

After saying that, the young man's face showed sorrow as he lamented:

"It's just a pity that the side effects are somewhat severe."

Professor Hua Yunfeng, who was listening on the stage, asked curiously, "Young man, how severe?"

The young man said:

"Severe enough that after the subjects are revived by me, they experience severe [hallucinations]."

"I previously did a [Death Experiment] with my brother."

"During those 2 minutes, I left my body. I saw people on the street who had died in car accidents, looking perfectly fine. I went home and saw my deceased father."

At this point, the young man's demeanor suddenly changed, his expression becoming somewhat crazed.

"So, uncles and aunts, do you want a shot?"

"As long as you sign a life-and-death agreement, I guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience!"

As the words fell, the elderly people in the lecture hall felt their scalps tingle, and they couldn't help but shudder.

They never expected that attending a conference would lead to meeting such a lunatic!

Complete death, and yet he could still revive them?

What kind of crazy doctor is this?

Many experts felt their scalps go numb and subconsciously moved further away from the young man.

"What's wrong, uncles and aunts? Don't you disbelieve Teacher Jiang's words? Don't you want to verify them?"

"No, no, keep the good stuff for yourself. But whatever you do, don't publish it; it will cause a controversy."

A group of experts waved their hands with awkward smiles.

"Could it really be that miraculous?"

Professor Hua Yunfeng looked thoughtful, and at this moment, he felt an urge to give it a try.

Old Feng, seeing Professor Hua Yunfeng's expression, quickly gave him a slap. "My god, old friend, what are you thinking?"

Professor Hua Yunfeng was snapped out of it by the slap and said awkwardly, "I was thinking about verifying the truth of Jiang Zhe's previous theories and answers. I was being too careless with life."

"You must not have that thought again!"

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you."

Just then, on the large screen, the third call was connected.
