Chapter 727: Does Reincarnation Truly Exist in This World?

Master Tianxin's message revealed a hint of helplessness. "I cannot say much regarding reincarnation. Benefactor, you have a naturally tough fate; you should be able to turn danger into safety."

The livestream viewers and I stared at Master Tianxin's message, taking a long time to process it. "That's it? Master, is this the revelation you have for me?"

Master Tianxin: "Reincarnation might seem like a simple word, but it cannot be spoken of lightly. Because of karmic retribution, what I say now might become reality in the future."

"I still don't understand what you mean. Weren't we just talking about obsession? Why did you bring up reincarnation?" I was extremely confused, feeling as though Master Tianxin was intentionally hiding something. "Heaven and earth are founded on the Six Paths, but do the six paths of reincarnation truly exist in this world?"

Growing up, I had always received an atheist education. Ghosts and monsters could actually be explained by science as mutations or special energy bodies, but reincarnation was simply too profoundly mysterious.

If reincarnation truly existed, then all things in heaven and earth would possess a spiritual essence, and the rigorous framework of modern science would largely be overturned.

Master Tianxin: "All living beings die and are reborn, are reborn and die. Life and death never cease, turning continuously like a wheel in an endless cycle, or like passing from one room into another."

This Buddhist cultivator's words were thought-provoking, but listening to them made me inexplicably uneasy, as if I were engaging with an ideology completely contrary to the mainstream. "Deity, Human, Animal, Hungry Ghost, Hell, and Asura. The Six Paths coexist. Life and death continue, karmic results continue, and everything is predestined in the unseen world. Past, present, and future might seem murky, but there are actually traces to be found."

"You're making it sound even more mystical. Are you saying the humans and pigs are mixed here because it's too close to the Animal Realm, causing the obsessions that should have been cast into the Animal Realm to escape? Then do you know where the entrance to the Animal Realm is?" I had entered the Yin-Yang Boundary before, so I was quite curious about the six paths of reincarnation. In fact, I had always harbored a theory about the Live Show that I wanted to verify, and this theory had to do with reincarnation.

Master Tianxin: "Reincarnation does indeed exist, but no one has ever seen it. If someone were to see reincarnation, they would no longer be themselves."

Seeing Master Tianxin's message, my heart clenched fiercely for no reason. It felt as if this sentence was crucial to me!

If someone were to see reincarnation, they would no longer be themselves...

I recalled the fragmented memories in my mind, along with the various feelings of déjà vu. There were places I clearly had never been to, yet it felt as if I had stayed there for a long time.

I stood dazed in the narrow storage room, muttering to myself, "Does reincarnation really exist?"

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "Streamer, if you're struggling over whether reincarnation exists, I can give you some experimental data for reference. Although I don't completely agree with what that master said, from a scientific perspective, it cannot be completely denied either."

Among all the chat messages, that one immediately caught my eye. I hadn't expected Chu Men, whom I had only met once, to be in the livestream chat. When I broadcasted my entry into the Deep Dream Layer, the two of us had forged a life-and-death bond.

"Chu... Master Fantasy, you can explain reincarnation with science?" I was slightly puzzled. To me, Chu Men and Master Tianxin were two completely different types of people. Their living environments and experiences were worlds apart, yet these two men were trying to prove the existence of reincarnation from different angles.

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "Streamer, the two of us have met. You know my profession clearly, so I won't say much more. For the experimental data below, the livestream viewers in the chat can just read it for fun."

After a long while, Chu Men finally sent a new message: "I first came into contact with reincarnation twenty years ago. At that time, I was just a child living in a psychiatric hospital. In the Isolation Ward, I met a boy who claimed he could recall his past life. Not only could he remember his previous name, but he could also recall the date of his death and detailed information about where he used to live. I didn't pay much attention to it back then and only thought it was fun. It wasn't until later, after I learned hypnosis, that I realized such children were not isolated cases!"

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "People cannot lie under deep hypnosis. Ten years ago, when I first became a psychologist, I secretly used hypnosis on some patients and made an astonishing discovery. The vast majority of those children under four years old could remember how they died in their past lives. They could even recite their dying words in detail, and the depth of those final words and the required knowledge base were completely beyond what a child could produce."

Chu Men's messages made the livestream chat go completely silent. I also focused my attention entirely on the screen, not even blinking.

"What's even more surprising is that some individual children can completely recall everything from their past lives. They insist that their past families are calling out to them. If these children aren't allowed to have frequent contact with their previous families, they become visibly irritable and restless."

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "Three- or four-year-old children might seem the simplest, but they are actually the most complex. However, as they grow older, those memories will slowly fade away."

Socrates Paradox: "Can a child's words even be trusted? Legally speaking, children under five can't even serve as witnesses. Do you have any more direct evidence?"

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "You want evidence? Alright. How do you explain those natural-born child prodigies? Mozart could compose music at age four and write symphonies at fifteen. The mathematician Blaise Pascal outlined a new geometric system at age eleven. Where did they learn all these things?"

Socrates Paradox: "Master Fantasy, the human brain possesses infinite possibilities. The brain has over a hundred billion cells and produces 100,000 chemical reactions per second. It can be called the most precise 'instrument' in the world. With such a massive base, it's completely normal for one or two anomalies to occasionally appear."

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "If you're going to nitpick from a microscopic cellular level, then I'll use macro big data to tell you the truth. I wonder if you've ever heard of corresponding birthmarks? To prove that reincarnation is not an isolated phenomenon, I investigated nearly ten thousand people with congenital disabilities or birthmarks on their bodies. Among those under six years old, twenty percent remembered the cause of their death in their past lives. When comparing their birthmarks and disabilities, I found that their stated causes of death were not baseless.

One child, only four years old, was missing his left ear. Under hypnosis, he said he died from a gunshot in his past life, and the bullet had entered his skull right through his left ear. As a scientific researcher, I meticulously recorded all the information the boy provided and then traveled thousands of miles to investigate. In a county town halfway across Huaxia from the boy, I finally found it. The time and the shooting incident matched completely.

How could a four-year-old child know about a shooting that happened thousands of miles away? And perfectly remember highly private details like the victim's name, height, occupation, and even hobbies?"

Socrates Paradox: "You're a master hypnotist; you should know about psychological suggestion, right? I strongly suspect that the child accidentally saw that news story at some point in the past and developed an illusion through self-suggestion."

Master Hypnotist Fantasy: "Since you know about psychological suggestion, you should also understand that so-called psychological suggestion works by influencing the subjective consciousness, which in turn influences behavioral patterns. But hypnosis is completely different. Hypnosis weakens the influence of the subjective consciousness to expose one's subconscious, so your theory doesn't hold up at all. What I'm stating are established facts.

If you want speculation and immature deductions, I have plenty more here. For example, how can a person accurately name a street they are visiting for the very first time? Or flawlessly recall a house they have never been to, precisely describing its layout? Is it not possible that this feeling of déjà vu, as if experienced in a dream, is because they had visited or even lived in those places in their past lives?"

Seeing Chu Men's final message, my eyes instantly went wide. The situation he described was exactly identical to my own encounters.

"Reincarnation..." Various clues strung together, and I suddenly thought again of that Mirror Fragment named after reincarnation. This mirror could reflect everyone, yet it uniquely failed to reflect me. 'Am I trapped within reincarnation, or have I already stepped out of it?'

All my memory fragments were sealed by the Nine Dao Locks inside my body. I didn't know who had left these locks, but I always had a very bad premonition in my heart. Why did the other party seal these memories? Was it to escape reincarnation? Or would these memories invite misfortune and disaster?

Clenching my fists, I could feel the existence of my flesh and blood, as well as the power inside my body. All of this was very real. 'If the Red Building is connected to the Animal Realm, then this place should be the closest location to reincarnation. It seems I have another task for this livestream.'

The two top figures in their respective fields were still arguing in the livestream chat. The barrage of professional jargon left the numerous livestream viewers utterly bewildered. They didn't even know what to say if they wanted to chime in, feeling as though speaking up would only make them look uneducated. Even the number of people spamming memes and posting fan service had significantly dwindled.

The livestream chat was being spammed by Socrates Paradox and Master Hypnotist Fantasy. I originally wanted to ask Master Tianxin a few more things, but even after calling out to him for a long time, he didn't reply.

'I've already wasted too much time. I have a premonition that this livestream will be the closest I've ever come to the truth. I have to seize this opportunity!' I took a deep breath, circulating the Profound Truth Mental Method to calm my mind. 'The Plum Blossom Brooch is on my coat. That thing will expose my identity as a live show streamer. I need to get it back early.'

Gripping the doorknob, I was actually very nervous inside. Another live show streamer was also living in the Red Building. He was the biggest variable in this livestream, so I had to be careful.

Before entering the Red Building, I still had a favorable impression of that streamer. He hadn't made things difficult for me at Jianghu Cancer Research Hospital. But ever since I met the tenants of the Red Building, I was left with nothing but deep apprehension toward him. After all, he himself might also be a tenant of the Pig Cage Apartments.
