Chapter 197 - Careful Calculation (1/2)

Chapter 197 Careful Calculation“It is easy. To you, it is about reincarnation. However, from my point, it is about time travel. She just needs to travel back to her body. And then she can live through her soul with some minor changes.” Hao Ning said. He squatted on the ground, explaining to Xiao Hong with a drawing. “Look, you choose his mother’s soul of this life. We label it the Soul A. His mother’s body, we call it the Body A. Her memory stops over here. Zhou Yuan played the magical spell 15 days ago. According to this, she doesn’t remember what happened in the past 15 days. That is to say, the Soul A only remembered what happened 15 days ago. Am I right?”

Hao Ning delivered a lecture.

The reason why Hao Ning knew this well not because he had a better logic than others. More importantly, he watched many time travel and science fiction TV series over the past years. The thing was mentioned in these series. However, the case Xiao Hong said to Hao Ning was a special one. It was about her soul traveled back to her own body. Hao Ning got to know this through TV series before. But he witnessed it this time. He was so excited about it. So, he analyzed it for Xiao Hong excitedly.

However, he did not notice that Xiao Hong did not understand it at all. Xiao Hong never saw time travel series before. So, he did not understand what Hao Ning said about traveling back to her body. He did not understand what Hao Ning said. But he was shy to admit it. So, he had to say embarrassedly, “That is the case…”

“And then, through Six Paths of Reincarnation, as what you said,” Hao Ning continued to explain. “After reincarnation of the Soul A, it would be back to several decades ago. His mother’s body is still the Body A. The Body A will receive the Soul A that is reincarnated from the nether world. We call it the Soul B. The Soul B will accompany his mother as she grows up… Of course, you may have ways to process his mother’s memory in the Soul A, making his mother forget the whole thing until 15 days ago. And then the Soul A and the Soul B will be the same. His mother is his mother. However, there are some changes from 15 days ago to now. How can we process the memory of this period?”

“You, who the hell are you?” Xiao Hong said, looking at Hao Ning in horror. “How can you know this so clearly? When Brother Zhang explained this to me. I spent 1000 years understanding it! How can you understand it once you heard it? And what are you talking about for your second part? I really can’t understand what 15 days change?”

“I watched science fiction films such as travel back to the future film, Inception, Triangle when I was free. You need to analyze the contents to understand it.” Hao Ning said with a laugh. He thought that he should not play something logic with him because he was good at it. That was the reason why Avalokitesvara believed that anyone should not do logic analysis for immortals. “The story about traveling back to the past or traveling to the future for something has happened. However, they used the time machine for traveling, instead, in this case, you use reincarnation. The science and technology are the first productivity. You should learn about them when you are free instead of hanging around the corner all the time.”

“Hey, are you angry about what I said?” looking at Xiao Hong, Hao Ning said with a smile. “I have a question for you. One man has died. He reincarnated to his father’s body. That means he is his father, right? And then his father and his mother have a son. The son is him. My question is: Who is he? Is he his father or his son?”

This is a typical question concerning time travel. Hao Ning modified a little when he said it. The original one was that a man traveled back to the past and he killed his father. The question was whether he would be born or not? Hao Ning did not want to tell a bloody story. So, he changed the story to be one concerning ethics.

“Puff…” Xiao Hong was total confused. He fell on the ground, wondering what happened. What he heard was just like the magic formula for Old Fan. He shook his hand and said, “Let me think about it, think about it…”

Seeing Xiao Hong say something finally, Hao Ning checked the drawings on the ground carefully. He frowned while he was biting his finger. He said, “No, I think that it is no need to restore the memory of this period.” He pointed to the Soul A and said. “Am I right?” he added.

Xiao Hong’s eyes were dull. He muttered, “Who is he? He’s his father? No. Is he his son? No…”

Hao Ning knew that Xiao Hong was not good at this. What he just said was the knowledge Zhang Chi Hang forced him to learn. With Xiao Hong’s personality, he had done what he could to repeat what Hao Ning just said. If Hao Ning had to wait for Xiao Hong’s answers, it would be too late. So, Hao Ning left him alone. He drew on the ground and calculated the next.

“All right! Don’t think about it. You won’t get it!” Hao Ning said to Xiao Hong after half of the minute. “Let’s talk about Zhou Yuan’s mother! I have calculated and I found that it was no need to restore Zhou Yuan’s mother’s soul and memory. What we need to do is to make his mother’s soul back to the baby body through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”

“What?” Xiao Hong was totally confused. He lost himself. “You promise? This is the first time I use the method. Don’t mess it up.” he added.

“Don’t worry!” Hao Ning said in confidence. “I learned a lot from science fiction films and popular science works! Believe me. Let’s do it! I will hold accountability!”

“Boom!” A sound passed from the sky. Hao Ning shrank his neck instinctively. “What happened? Thunder?” he said.

“What thunder?” Xiao Hong said. “Nothing happened,” he added.

“Imaginary sound?” Hao Ning thought. He continued to say, “Here is a problem. How can we manage Zhou Yuan’s father and his mother to reincarnate to their baby bodies respectively?”

“It is out of our control,” Xiao Hong shook his head. “However, it is one of the possibilities for their futures. What we should do is to help choose the future with the possibility we want.”

“Err…” Hao Ning murmured. He thought of it for a while and got to understand it a little. “I know what you mean. You mean that what period they reincarnate is random. But there must be a possible period when Zhou Yuan’s parents can reincarnate to their baby bodies. We should find this future? But, how can we find this future?”

“Hey, hey. Hao Ning, you asked the key part of the problem,” Hao Hong said with a smile. “Don’t forget that the future is also a time concept. Time business is the work of this Bodhisattva. Brother Zhang has given me some magic figures concerning the time. Of which there is a magic figure that can help you find the future you want. When I got those magic figures, I had no idea for them. So, I keep them in secret. We can use them now.”

“Oh, I see!” Hao Ning said. “Let’s do it!” he added.

“No. No.” Xiao Hong shook his head and said, pointing to the Zhou Yuan on the throne. “What about him?” He asked.

“Go with us!” Hao Ning said. He did not understand what Xiao Hong said. “He won’t be scared. You must remember that he was a naughty monkey who created havoc in the nether world,” he added.

Why was Hao Ning so excited? Part of the reason was that he wanted to help Zhou Yuan. Part of the reason was that he wanted to see Yan. Yan had been back to the nether world since they met last time. He also wanted to make clear why Yan’s sound was heard in the dark. However, this man never showed himself recently. Hao Ning was excited when he heard Xiao Hong mentioned the nether world. He did not expect Xiao Hong’s method was related to the nether world.

“I will go for him if he does not come for me.” Hao Ning thought. Seeing Xiao Hong shake his head, he asked, “What’s wrong? You mean Zhou Yuan shouldn’t go with us?”

“Of course, he shouldn’t!” Xiao Hong said. He became confident as he talked about something, he was good at. “Zhou Yuan and his mother are related by blood. If they both go to the nether world, something bad may happen!”

“You are right. Ok, we two go.” Hao Ning said with consent.
