Chapter 764
"I heard about this one case long ago. After getting struck on the head, a genius
mathematician lost all his mathematical knowledge after waking up, turning into an utterly ordinary person. Some suspected that it was a case of soul transfer, where another soul
entered his body," Joel whispered.
"Isn't it said that only a genetic code can lock in a soul, and it would require the same genes -like with a clone subject?" I softly asked.
Joel shook his head. "Clone subjects are just to ensure the success rate of the reincarnation project, as it minimizes interference and impurities. But those who are reincarnated by chance in daily life are often taken over by blood relatives."
I nodded in understanding. The switch for reincarnation might be triggered as long as there was a genetic connection.
Perhaps in some part of the world, a grandson might have nearly died in a car accident, and when he was successfully rescued, what truly lived within him turned out to be his grandfather or other ancestors.
It was starting to sound fantastical now-just like some time-traveling or reincarnation novels, where everything was suddenly given a scientific explanation.
Steven was carefully observing the data as he waited for the clone subject to wake up.
At the same time, Andy and those behind the camera and glass wall were anticipating the clone subject to wake up.
Andy was completely at ease as he was the one who personally cultivated and selected the clone subject.
The waiting process was agonizing. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.
This was also my first time seeing Steven "reincarnate" someone else. He looked rather obsessive when he was serious.
As the experiment came to an end, the clone subject finally opened her eyes amidst the beeping sound of the medical equipment.
Meanwhile, the precision scale holding Sarah's body showed a slight drop in weight. Even though the number wasn't significant, it could be likened to the weight of a soul.
"Sarah?" Impatient, Andy rushed in from the outside. He stood excitedly by the operating table, watching the clone subject who was arousing.
She struggled to adjust once she woke up, taking some time before she could prop herself up. She first looked at her hands, then looked around, feeling dizzy and disoriented in her new body.
Sarah shook her head vigorously. After getting a good look at Andy, she immediately gave him a harsh slap.
He was smiling even though he was just slapped. He cupped his cheek and laughed, looking a little taken aback.
Steven sat in his wheelchair as he looked indifferently at Andy.
Andy reached out to grab Sarah by her shoulders. "Is that you, Sarah?"
Sarah smiled and replied, "Who else would it be if not me?"
Andy smiled and reached out for her hand.
Sarah grinned at Steven. "Looks like you wouldn't have cooperated if we hadn't done this. You wanted to reincarnate me so that I would help you deal with Andy, right? Too bad you misread the situation. We've been in cahoots from the beginning. We just wanted to see if this reincarnation project is real."
Andy was busy admiring Sarah's new body. His eyes were lit with unrestrained joy. They were truly mad.
As expected, we lost the bet. She had thrown herself into the game and risked everything in order to gain a new life.
"You've worked hard, Steven," Andy said with a smile before leaving with Sarah.
"Let's conduct a comprehensive examination and monitor the data," Andy instructed the other scientists to start checking Sarah's body to record the data. He wanted to find out if they could uncover the key to reincarnating themselves.
However, Steven remained calm.
"We got tricked, Steven," I whispered. We lost our bet this time.
"No," Steven replied meaningfully. "We haven't lost yet."
He was betting on human greed at the very last chance.
