52: Chapter 52: Life Scripts and the Salvador Syndrome

The questioning by the two police officers was extremely concise!

It mainly covered Jiang Zhe's basic information and his recent itinerary.

As well as recent bank transfers and whether he had been in contact with hotel staff or anyone else.

After all, this matter was inexplicable by normal means—they couldn't help but suspect Jiang Zhe of being the bomber or the mastermind.

The officers treated Jiang Zhe as a suspect throughout the process, which made him extremely displeased!

Fortunately, Jiang Zhe was used to being in high positions; he answered the grassroots officers' questions fluently.

This left the two officers in a passive position the entire time!

Finally, the two officers looked at each other and stopped the voice recorder.

The older officer, Officer Li, nodded. "I apologize for our attitude just now. Thank you for not taking offense, and thank you for your cooperation!"

However!

Just as the two were about to leave.

The younger officer suddenly turned his head, unable to suppress his curiosity:

"Mr. Jiang Zhe, if I may ask..."

"What exactly was the deal with that hotel prophecy?"

Officer Li, standing beside him, frowned slightly and wanted to stop him, but he too couldn't resist his curiosity.

His gaze also fell on Jiang Zhe, hoping for an answer!

Jiang Zhe responded with a calm face:

"Do you two believe that the world we live in is essentially a play that has already been scripted?"

"A play?" x2

They were clearly puzzled.

"Like a brain in a vat?"

Officer Li asked in return.

He had watched Jiang Zhe's livestream; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him not to reveal during the conversation that Xiao Yu had been secretly filming Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly.

"You could understand it that way!"

"Currently, the script of this world is already finished—the characters, the plot, the conflicts, the ending, the suspense..."

"Everything has been carved into the [Records] in black and white."

He pointed his finger toward the sky.

"Many people spend their entire lives dully reciting [lines] according to this finished script."

"They think that all the joys and sorrows before them are the results of their own efforts."

"In reality, it is the interplay of necessity and chance!"

Pausing for a moment, he looked at the officers, who were now lost in thought.

"But!"

"There are always a few people in this world who, during moments of epiphany, in dreams, or in deep meditation..."

"...will briefly leap out of this script."

"Once they leap out, they can see the endings of certain plot points!"

"That person will see the [plot] that is about to unfold!"

"Thus, in the eyes of onlookers, that person becomes a prophet!"

"I cannot prove the existence of the script to you, just as a fish in the ocean would find it difficult to prove what air is to its kind!"

"In this world, there are many people like me!"

"As for the hotel you are concerned about..."

He smiled slightly and threw the question back to them.

"Do you think that fire was an accidental mishap, or a [plot point] arranged by fate?"

The moment he finished speaking, the two materialistic officers...

...stood there with blank expressions.

A simple questioning had turned into a philosophical lecture.

Didn't this guy drop out in his second year of high school?

Why did it feel like facing a university professor, being crushed by such intellectual depth?

After a long while, the two of them gave Jiang Zhe a meaningful look.

"We understand. Thank you for your cooperation!"

After stepping out the door.

The younger officer sighed with emotion. "Is this the kind of culture a high school dropout should have?"

"Don't think too much about it. What does it have to do with us and our five-thousand-yuan monthly salary?"

"Has the news online been taken down?"

"It's down."

...

Not long after the police left.

Xiao Yu finally came home from school.

As soon as she got home, she recounted the day's commotion at school with extreme excitement.

Jiang Zhe was stir-frying in the kitchen and responded calmly:

"Earlier, two officers came by as well and asked me about the hotel fire."

"I suspect your classmate leaked the information."

"Make sure you don't give away your brother's privacy. Right now, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's heart tightened. Her beautiful eyes darted around as she began to put on an act.

She asked cautiously:

"Bro, haven't you checked the internet?"

"I don't like going online. There's too much bombardment of real and fake information; it's a waste of life."

"Since my social circle isn't wide, I'd rather read more to improve my understanding."

Due to his work habits from his past life.

Jiang Zhe was forced to get used to being away from his phone.

He preferred to live a life of leisure!

Hearing this, the massive stone in Xiao Yu's heart—deep as the Mariana Trench—finally landed.

She quietly picked up Jiang Zhe's phone from the table.

She went into the settings and rejected [all unknown calls], leaving only her own number!

"Yes!"

Feeling guilty like a thief, Xiao Yu pumped her fist downward.

The meal was finished quickly.

The livestream was started by Xiao Yu right on time.

Almost instantly, the number of online viewers surged like a rocket.

It broke the two-million mark on the spot and was still growing frantically. The bullet chat was so dense that the screen was invisible!

"Xiaoyu's brother, please take my knees!"

"The hotel really caught fire! I was right there at the scene, and I was completely stunned!"

"Finally, I've seen a Master of Chinese Studies with real skill. Please accept my bow!"

"The akashic records are real; people's efforts are fake!"

"I just got here. Why are there so many people in this livestream?"

"Newcomers, don't rush to leave. Your values and worldview are about to be shattered!"

"What are you going to talk about today? Can you make a prophecy about Neon?"

"Prophecy for Neon +1!"

The viewers went completely wild.

Some people were even starting to deify Jiang Zhe!

Xiao Yu looked at the terrifying data, suppressing her shock.

She asked according to the plan from the previous episode:

"Bro, you mentioned last night—are there any actual cases that can prove the existence of the Akashic?"

"And does your theory prove its existence?"

"Can you talk about it today?"

On the sofa.

Jiang Zhe walked over from the kitchen.

"There certainly are."

"And it involves a biological concept that today's scientific community cannot explain using [science]."

"Even if it can't be explained, it exists nonetheless—not just in modern times, but in ancient and prehistoric times as well!"

These words instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.

Seeing Xiao Yu's curious expression, Jiang Zhe didn't disappoint her.

"Its scientific name is: Holographic Genomic Evolution Phenomenon."

Xiao Yu was taken aback. "Aha?"

"In other words, Savant Syndrome!"

"Next, I will use several real experiments to explain the actual existence of the akashic records to you."

Jiang Zhe realized.

The real experiments he was about to present...

...only existed in embryonic form in this world and had never been explored in depth.

They would inevitably cause a worldwide sensation and take Chinese studies and mysticism to the next level!

...

In the university staff residential building in Kyoto.

The three retired professors gathered once again!

Old Chen, Old Qian, and Old Wang waited in front of the projector on time.

When they heard the somewhat unfamiliar term 'Savant Syndrome,' the three of them were stunned on the spot.

"Syndrome, is..."

Old Chen mused thoughtfully:

"It seems to involve biology, and it's a cutting-edge biological concept!"

Various industries in this world were not very developed.

Ordinary people basically knew nothing about it, and universities didn't teach it.

Only these wealthy big shots with time on their hands, who didn't want to waste their golden years, would know about it!

Old Qian opened his tablet and went onto an academic website to search.

The more he read, the tighter his brow furrowed!

"This concept was only proposed by foreign scholars not long ago, but it's very vague overall."

"It transcends Darwin's theory of evolution and adds another layer of fog to human consciousness!"

Old Wang, standing nearby, couldn't help but wonder:

"Is the theme of Xiaoyu's brother's lectures unfixed?"

"Yesterday it was the akashic records, and today it's biology."

Old Chen rolled his eyes at him. "Xiaoyu's brother is essentially tutoring his sister. Do you think he actually has a lesson plan, teaching this today and that tomorrow?"

"If Xiao Yu hadn't been secretly livestreaming, do you think we'd be able to see these cognition-shattering revelations?"

"True..." Old Wang smiled sheepishly. "That makes sense!"

...

Elsewhere, inside a Chinese-style villa.

The great Wang Chongyang and his three personal disciples were already waiting.

The First Senior Brother and Third Junior Sister were a bit puzzled when they heard the term, but they still watched intently.

Only the Second Senior Brother, after a brief moment of shock, had that "nothing special" sneer reappear on his face.

"Hmph, I thought it was going to be some earth-shattering evidence."

"It's just another instance of being deliberately mystifying!"

"Just tossing around some obscure biological term to fool people."

"What does a biological phenomenon have to do with the akashic records? I think he's just at his wit's end!"

"He's just rambling about this and that!"

He felt that today, he...

...was back in top form!
