30: Chapter 30: A Few Minutes Back in My Past Life

The livestream had just ended a short while ago.

Inside the dormitory.

Old Wang, Old Wu, and Old Zhao sat on the same bed for a very, very long time!

Looking at the black screen of the livestream, the three of them sighed continuously.

"I feel like I've been studying fake history."

"So tui bei tu could be interpreted like this!"

"It's my first time admiring someone so much; I really want to abduct Xiaoyu's brother to the school to be a lecturer."

"Don't bother, it's useless. High school students can't study these things that don't help with exam-oriented education. Maybe in university, it could work!"

After a long time.

The three of them finally walked out of the dormitory.

Unfortunately, the outside of the room was surrounded by colleagues.

The expressions on their faces were strange and varied.

"Old Wang, you cannot continue to be so decadent!"

"That's right, even if there are no women in the dormitory building, you can't be like this; it's scandalous!"

"Two grown men would be one thing, but the three of you together? What kind of conduct is this?"

"Sigh, three shameless old men!"

The three of them scratched their heads, looking completely bewildered, "What happened?" x3

Kyoto, University of History staff residential compound.

The retired professor who had been watching the livestream the whole time was a highly respected senior at this University of History.

Professor Chen Runzhi!

At this moment, wearing his reading glasses, he was organizing materials in front of his computer.

Then, he packed the materials and the video together and sent them into a WeChat group chat called [Call Me When You Pass Away].

This group was mainly a small group created for daily communication among lonely elderly people, or for when someone wasn't feeling well.

If someone got sick and couldn't move, they would just call out to their phone.

And everyone would know.

There were two other people in the group—

One was a history professor who had taught the Pre-Qin, Two Han, Jin, Song, Tang, and Ming dynasties: Qian Mingyi.

The other was a philosophy professor: Professor Wang Shouren.

Professor Chen Runzhi posted:

"You two old fogies, take a look when you have time."

"What Xiaoyu's brother is talking about is tui bei tu, and the main content is focused on the hexagrams of the late Ming to Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the future."

"Mainly from 31 to 59."

"Although it's shocking, it's not vulgar at all; the logic is very rigorous, and the direction of interpretation is completely different."

"This content might overturn our inherent understanding."

Unexpectedly, there was a reply shortly after.

Qian Mingyi sent a shocked emoji:

"Good grief, I thought you were about to pass away."

"Can you not post in this group? A private message would work too!"

Professor Wang Shouren was also startled and replied: "You scared the old baby out of me; my old heart almost jumped out."

Professor Chen Runzhi posted: "Apologies, I was too excited. Everyone, watch it first and then we'll talk."

Qian Mingyi said: "Old brother, since when did you start paying attention to such low-value things? Although tui bei tu is a strange book, involving things like the brain in a vat and alien civilizations is a bit grandstanding!"

Professor Wang Shouren said: "There are many such interpretations; they are nothing more than the whimsical ideas of ignorant young people. Have Xiaoyu's brother post his academic qualifications and awards first, and only then will I praise him by saying, 'The waves behind push the waves ahead'!"

Professor Chen Runzhi didn't answer this, but directly posted:

"Go watch it."

"As long as you watch it now, within the next month..."

"I'll treat you two to 10 foot massages!"

Without any hesitation, the two old brothers in the small group instantly sent [Handshake] emojis.

"Pleasure doing business with you!" x2

About half an hour later.

Professor Qian sent a series of

[！！！！]

[Emoji: Shocked!!!!]

[Emoji: Lecherous!!!!]

Immediately after was Professor Wang, who sent a voice message.

After Professor Chen clicked on it, he saw a series of chaotic voice messages.

"This young man, holy crap!"

"His breakdown of the Roswell incident, he searched for evidence on the spot and provided a dense chain of evidence right then and there."

"His use of FBI and CIA evidence is simply incredible!"

"And the interpretation of [One Person is a Great World]... this is simply building a brand new direction for the tui bei tu by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang: a [Global National Destiny End Model]!"

"Old brother, this guy's eloquence, the content of the lectures he gives his sister..."

"There's almost no thinking, no hesitation at all!"

"This guy, he's incredible. He's definitely not an ordinary person; he seems more like a professor than I do!"

Only professionals know how difficult an impromptu speech is!

Especially when this kind of logical thinking looks like—

A highly educated person who has been through many battles and often frequents major occasions!

Professor Chen Runzhi looked at the replies from the two guys and immediately laughed.

He knew that his old friends would definitely like this livestream and this content!

"Next time for sure!"

"I'll call you two as soon as it starts!"

Jiang Zhe looked left and right, confirmed that his sister hadn't followed, quickly returned to the master bedroom, and locked the door.

Looking at the pop-up window in front of him, Jiang Zhe still couldn't believe it,

"Is this for real?"

[Super-Spacetime Library: Can connect to any place in your past life, allowing you to return to your past life and touch any book.]

[Note: You cannot stay for a long time each time; the weight you carry will consume your mental strength based on its intensity!]

Looking at the description.

Jiang Zhe's head was buzzing.

Roughly, perhaps, maybe, he understood!

It meant he could return to his past life in a short-term way.

"Perfect!"

He quickly calmed down.

"Right now, I can barely move an inch in this world without first-hand information; and a lot of the information in this world is wrong."

"In order to keep getting benefits from my sister..."

Jiang Zhe couldn't help but grin.

"Locate, Kyoto, Hidden Dragon Base, Research Institute, top-floor archive library!"

This place contained humanity's most cutting-edge and confidential materials and books.

[Located, Past Life, Kyoto, Hidden Dragon Underground Base...]

The next moment!

A ripple-colored halo of light appeared in front of him.

He didn't hesitate at all and stepped through—

His physical body was instantly sucked into the space gate.

His consciousness felt dazed for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a room that was entirely white.

A wave of weakness washed over his body, feeling like the exhaustion after sprinting 800 meters, but he could breathe normally!

The air smelled of disinfectant and ozone.

The lights were bright all around, and inside the huge room, there were only specially made white bookshelves.

He walked to a random bookshelf and scanned it.

"Observational Data from Outside the Cosmic Membrane"!

"Coordinates of Suspected Alien Civilizations"

"Report on Suspected Hollow Earth"

"The Connection Between Quantum Entanglement and Consciousness"

"The Terrifying Laws of Cosmic Survival and Precautions"

"..."

Some were speculative books by most scientific directors at the Hidden Dragon Base.

And some were speculative and fantasy books ranging from geography to astronomy to the multiverse.

Many had not been proven, with only traces found.

Some were proven existences that were not known to ordinary people.

Jiang Zhe walked forward, feeling something in his heart.

He felt that once he took these books, his mental strength would be rapidly depleted!

Just as he was standing there thinking about what content to lecture to Xiao Yu next time.

With a "hiss~" sound.

The sealed metal door behind him suddenly hissed and opened!

The uncle administrator wearing a black jacket and white shirt: Old Chen.

He was walking in holding a thermos cup, and the moment he looked up and saw Jiang Zhe "stealing" books, his chubby face was instantly stunned.

Old Chen, who was over fifty, couldn't stop trembling.

He raised his finger, pointing at Jiang Zhe with a horrified expression.

"You, you... you, Little Jiang? Didn't you die of sudden cardiac death?"

"I clearly saw you being taken to the 120 ambulance with my own eyes, and I personally handled the arrangements to send you to the crematorium!"

Jiang Zhe's eyelids twitched slightly.

He could tell that his past life's corpse had been sent for emergency treatment and cremated by Old Chen.

Yes, in his past life, Jiang Zhe was also a loner, 28 years old.

Looking at Old Chen's pale face, Jiang Zhe revealed a smile, then raised one finger, "Shh~~"

The next moment, he casually pulled a book from the shelf.

His mental strength was instantly depleted by two-fifths.

A sense of weakness washed over him!

In Old Chen's view, as if he had seen a ghost, Jiang Zhe's body mysteriously disappeared.

He was so scared that he sat down on the floor with a thud.

"He? Is? A human? Or a ghost?"

Old Chen rubbed his eyes hard, confirming that there was no one in front of him.

Only then did he take a deep breath, "Hallucination! Yes, it must be a hallucination. How could a living person appear in front of me!"

To confirm it was a hallucination, Old Chen hurriedly pulled up the monitoring footage of the corridor outside.

Except for a few scattered researchers in white coats, no one had entered the library at all.

"Sure enough, it was a hallucination!"

...

In the master bedroom.

He slowly opened his eyes on the bed.

In his hand, there was indeed a thick blue-covered book; it was a copy of the I Ching, with no text or introduction on the cover.

He held the leather-textured book, flipped to the first page, and the content that appeared made his eyes light up.

"Tomorrow is Sunday."

"I'll give my sister a day off."

"On Monday, I'll conduct specialized grade improvement for her!"

He rubbed his temples, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.

He casually got up and found Xiao Yu's history test papers from the bookshelf.

[Mathematics: 48 points]

[Chinese: 71 points]

[English: 97 points]

[...]

"Your mathematics, urgently needs improvement!"
