Above the nine springs, people rob the earth and the spirit

Chapter 171 Past and Present Life
Bai Tianqing recorded the above information and said, "I was downstairs just now and I didn't see Nurse Xue. Did I change the value?"

The expression on Xue Qi's face did not waver at all, and she crossed out the document expressionlessly.

She didn't mean to answer Bai Tian Qing's words, she just sat here, motionless.

Bai Tianqing was thoughtful.

She didn't say anything more and took Chen Xuyang upstairs.

When she reached the stairs, she looked back and found that Xue Qi was also looking back at her.

When their eyes met, Bai Tianqing suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else? Nurse Xue?"

Xue Qi didn't speak, but followed her with his eyes.

Bai Tianqing ignored her and set foot on the stairs again with Chen Xuyang.

Chen Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief when he couldn't see Xue Qi anymore.

I had felt that this nurse was quite strange before. It didn't seem like she had low intelligence, but more like she had some mental problem.

As people who were both created, he felt that Xue Qi was different from him.

It's quite uncomfortable anyway.

"I feel like Nurse Xue is very ghostly... shouldn't I say this word here?"

Chen Xuyang glanced around instinctively.

"It's okay. If you don't tell me, this place is also very ghostly. Nurse Xue is indeed very ghostly. It's not a big problem. The entire Jiuquan County is very ghostly, and they are all called Jiuquan."

Chen Xuyang: "..."

Stop being so evil. His mind is now full of these four words, and he can't get rid of them. He even doubts whether he can get these words out of his mind in his limited life, but Don't cry like a ghost before you die.

"Yes, the name of this county is very strange. Why didn't you think of it before?"

Chen Xuyang touched his head.

Bai Tianqing glanced at him and said, "Maybe there is something implanted in our bodies that can give us some psychological hints and make us subconsciously ignore the name Jiuquan County."

This was Bai Qing's guess before, and of course she still thinks so now.

But the difference is that she used to think it was a chip or other technological means, but now she feels it may be more supernatural.

It's like a rule. Generally, people living here will not notice the difference in the place where they live. But when someone breaks the rule, everyone will notice the difference.

"Then again, as for Nurse Xue, do you think her current state is like... a female ghost?"

Bai Tianqing brought the topic back to Nurse Xue.

The only sounds in the stairwell were the footsteps of two people going upstairs, and their voices even echoed a little.

When I passed by the second floor, I found that the bloody scene was gone.

Instead, there seemed to be a vague figure flashing in the corridor.

Chen Xuyang opened his eyes wide and answered subconsciously: "Yeah, maybe it's mental illness, it's not normal anyway."

As he was talking, a figure seemed to appear at the door. Chen Xuyang was so frightened that he stepped onto the steps and walked as fast as flying.

Bai Tianqing did not go upstairs immediately, but threw the knife and the black tentacles directly in.

With one strike, all the figures it encountered disappeared instantly.

The entire corridor became very quiet.

Bai Tianqing took back the knife with satisfaction, and continued the topic just now, saying: "Then you said that artificial humans already have souls, what is the relationship between your soul and your body?"

Chen Xuyang was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"Is it created from your body? Or, look at the many soul bodies here, grab any one and erase the memory of this soul body. After that, put the memory of your body into it, and then stuff it into the creation. In your new body, who are you?"

Chen Xuyang was completely stunned.

Yes, if that is the case, then who is he?

"So what carries human identity is memory, right?"

As Bai Tianqing said this, he gave him a hand and asked him to continue going upstairs.

"When a person has completely new memories, will his own personality change? Will it change completely? Will he retain any characteristics? For example, compared with Nurse Xue's generation and Nurse Xue's original body, The nurse generation likes sweets, but the main body doesn’t.”

Chen Xuyang's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and at this moment he actually had an idea.

If he goes back to study this field now and writes a paper and publishes it, will he be able to shock the world and become an academic master from now on?

Oh no, artificial humans like him don't live long, so how can they get the chance to study it?

His eyes dimmed, Chen Xuyang said: "What you said makes sense, but if it is what you say...then..."

So what is it?

Chen Xuyang was unable to express his inner emotions for a moment. He actually wanted to say something urgently, but he couldn't think of what it was.

"The second generation of Nurse Xue is very ghostly. The file records also say that she is not a qualified experimental subject, but a mutilated artificial human. So what does incomplete mean? Did the instillation of memory fail? Or is this the whole process? During the manufacturing process, her soul was damaged, causing her so-called mental retardation? Why can't artificial people like you live long? Is it because ghost possession itself will cause harm to the body? Yin and Yang are different, so life is short?”

Bai Tianqing didn't want to tell Chen Xuyang. She might be talking to herself a little, and she also wanted to test whether she could catch some clear words in the noisy voice in her ears when she said these words.

But it's a pity that she didn't capture it because she couldn't fully concentrate now.

But this is just incidental and not a big problem.

"But there is also a question. Can a person's soul be divided into two parts? Just like these ghosts, if I take away half of his power and find a way to store it, this power is the so-called soul. Can it be used to create artificial humans? Is there no difference between the artificial humans created in this way and the original body?”

Chen Xuyang felt his mouth was a little dry and his words were dry: "Just...but...uh..."

"So, who am I?" he asked blankly.

"Good question. In fact, it is possible that I am not me. You and I are both created. Who is our own soul? Does this count as past and present lives?"

Bai Tianqing suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Xuyang, his eyes surprisingly bright.

She had a feeling that perhaps, she was really getting closer to the outside world.

"Can those impressive memory fragments engraved in the soul really be completely erased? If not, this is the real past life, right?"
