The only sound that could be heard in the entire seventh-floor hall was the pounding of the heart.
Zhang Tie touched his head, his eyes widened:
"Team Lin?"
"Gao Tian?"
"What are you two so dazed about?"
A look of confusion.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand what the note said. He just thought it was similar to the diary he had written randomly.
Moreover, it seems to be repeated, right?
Lin An raised his head and looked at Gao Tian, with shock that could not be concealed in their eyes.
Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't seem to understand, Gao Tian sighed with a complicated expression and simply explained to Xiong Hanzi:
"This notebook actually only records one thing."
"I don't know how long ago, Professor Kunil, the former administrator of the Black Tower, was dying, but he wanted to find out the secret of eternal life."
"No one wants to die; he longs for eternal life."
"So after 700 years of experiments, he finally figured it out."
"According to the notes, this method of immortality should be to imitate amoeba."
"Remember the reference in the notes to the maze-walking amoeba?"
"It took the first bug 77 years to get out of the maze, but as long as it 'eats' the first amoeba, the bug that eats it will gain its memory."
"In this way, the second bug can get out of the maze in a very short time."
"Or simply, through devouring, the second worm becomes the first worm."
"In other words, if Zhang Tie eats Captain Lin, you will have Captain Lin's strength and memory. But the body is still your own."
"As long as we keep replacing young bodies, we can break the restrictions of death."
Lin An nodded, indicating that Gao Tian's statement was correct.
He glanced at the neatly stacked notes and manuals on the table, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Not surprisingly, these books and manuals are all about amoeba research.
In other words, these things were left on purpose.
Zhang Tie blinked, as if he understood.
He opened the notes angrily and couldn't help asking questions:
"Then why do you keep repeating this note?"
"Didn't he gain eternal life?"
"What kind of immortality is gaining memories?"
"Where's the first professor? Where's the first student?"
"I see the names of the notes are different."
Lin An smiled, pointed at the name on the note and explained casually:
"The professor was eaten."
"He volunteered to be eaten by the students."
"Under a certain special method, as long as he is eaten by the students, he will become one with the students, and he will "own" his young body again without losing his memory and strength."
"This method of immortality is very clever, but it reminds me of memes."
"The mind and body are synchronized, but the way of continuation (reproduction) is through the mind."
"for example."
"The old professor has spent his whole life studying how to obtain eternal life."
"When he presented his life's hard work and research results to the students in a unique way, it strangely proved that he could indeed achieve immortality."
"Under the temptation of eternal life, students will also follow the path of old professors."
"This way."
"As long as the students eat the old professor."
"In terms of thinking, students will inherit all the memories of the old professor."
"In terms of physical body, after the students ate the professor's body, they also achieved physical integration."
"In terms of spirituality, the students will continue the old professor's method to teach the next student, and let the other student eat him in the same way, in order to achieve spiritual continuation."
"The three are added together, and the perfect closed loop of eternal life is born."
"Everyone who reads this book will eventually try to use this method before aging."
“Who doesn’t want eternal life?”
"Even if the way to eternal life is to be eaten by others."
"Generation after generation..."
"Endless."
"That's why, although the names of the notes are different, the things done are repeated."
"Because, each of them has become an old professor."
"From the beginning, they were afraid of what the old professor did, then they understood the principles, then understood the professor, and finally did the same thing as the professor."
"It's actually very similar to a meme."
“People who know memes spread memes.”
"Although the body dies, the genes of the mind can last forever."
Zhang Tie's mouth widened after hearing this, and he looked at the piles of books behind Lin An in confusion.
Stuttering, he frowned and asked his last question:
"Captain Lin, why do I feel like he's not immortal at all?"
"Even if the old professor has processed his own meat, you can gain his memory by eating it."
"But that means someone else has obtained his memory? Doesn't that mean he's still dead?"
Lin An raised his head slightly, then shook his head gently:
"A very simple example."
"Zhang Tie, if there is a person in this world who looks like you and has the same memory as you."
"Everything is the same as you, even the will."
"if."
"One day, I kill the other you. Then the other you who survives, will you feel like you are dead?"
"The answer must be that I feel like I'm not dead."
"Of course, this statement is actually a paradox and difficult to accept."
"But immortality is an impossible thing. It's amazing that the old professor can think of this way to bypass the barrier of immortality."
Gao Tian was half sighing and half fearful. He couldn't help but glance at the books on the table:
"Team Lin."
"I think the reason why old professors and subsequent students take this path... is probably hidden in these notes."
"They must have confirmed something. After confirming the fused memory, they all felt that the person who survived was them."
"They really feel that they have eternal life, rather than just the sum of memory and body."
Lin An stretched out his arm with complicated eyes and touched the notebooks and books.
It feels soft and cold to the touch, as if caressing the skin.
That's right.
All the unreasonable answers are probably in these notes.
As mentioned in the notes of "Gate of Eternal Life", the old professor's 700-year-old research notes are Pandora's Box.
Once reading these books, anyone will not hesitate to adopt this method of eternal life.
