Genius Club-Chapter 579 - 16 Reunion with Chu Shanhe (Extra Chapter for monthly pass votes!)_2

"Taking turns in hibernation with someone you can trust, after each awakening, the other person would recount their original memories to them, then take their place entering the Hibernation Pod."

It has to be said.

That kind of idea is just too presumptuous.

To say nothing of how human memory is incredibly complex, extremely fragmented, and also carries emotional content not easily recorded by diaries or videos.

Sociologists say that the biggest problem facing memory recovery is —

[Trust].

Once someone awakens from hibernation with a blank brain, they instinctively feel danger, rejecting all good and bad intents, trusting their own judgment above anyone else’s.

At that moment, if you give them a diary, saying this is what you wrote before, your memories, they should read it cautiously and then quickly get into character.

No one would believe it.

Then, having lost all memories, they would find the diary, which they had once written earnestly, boring, uninteresting, and utterly unrelatable, with no desire to review it.

They would not so easily accept these memories given to them by others.

The same applies to videos.

A person with a blank brain has a strong sense of self-preservation and will instinctively resist all of this.

Even if it was someone they trusted immensely before hibernation, after waking up, that person is just a stranger; trust issues are very hard to resolve.

And if the most basic trust cannot be established, how then are those external memories supposed to be restored to the brain?

Not to mention...

If you think deeper, there would be many issues like memory fraud or alterations. Wuxia novels are filled with plots where characters with amnesia acknowledge a thief as their parent; considering the Hibernation Pod would completely erase memories, these scenarios are not impossible in reality.

As the science fiction product of the Hibernation Pod gets closer to real life, the worries of people around the world grow.

More than loss of property after hibernation, they fear the loss of self and memory.

Afraid that upon waking, a few people in black would hand them a diary and a video tape:

"This is your memory, quickly get in character, and come with us! There’s work to do!"

It certainly is frightening.

And it has made many people lose the curiosity to enter a Hibernation Pod.

After all, every era has its thieves and villains; now they can defraud fortunes, in the future they might steal memories, implanting fake memories to use you for their ends.

So, under these circumstances, many started to have wild ideas to find a backup for their memories, a real assurance.

Brother Wang had told him that many customers buying safes are preparing for future hibernation; they want to store the most genuine memory backups in safes, then figure out how to let their awakened selves know the combination.

This step is hard... and also paradoxical.

But with the advent of the hibernation era looming, everyone wants to be prepared.

"The era is about to change drastically, Lin Xian!"

Brother Wang chuckled, patting Lin Xian’s shoulder, wrapping an arm around him as they walked outside:

"Do you think I should enter a Hibernation Pod, then wake up centuries later to see if Tem Bank still recognizes its founder?"

"If you are serious about it, I support you," Lin Xian said bluntly:

"I can pay for the entire cost."

"Ha ha ha, I’m just kidding!"

Brother Wang waved his hand:

"I would never enter a Hibernation Pod, I can’t leave my family and friends... This era is quite good, who knows if the future will be better or worse? What if there’s a war?"

Chatting like this, the two left Tem Bank.

Brother Wang went back to his busy schedule.

And Lin Xian sighed before getting into the Alphard Business Vehicle once more.

Since returning to East Sea City, he had been running around, doing many things, and ending many others. And now... he was about to do the most difficult one.

The electric door closed, Lin Xian looked at the driver in front:

"To Chushanhe Manor."

He paused:

"Drive slowly."

...

One hour later.

The Alphard Business Vehicle drove straight into the Manor. Lin Xian alighted at the front door and approached the entrance.

His finger lifted several times but couldn’t press the doorbell.

Finally.

He gritted his teeth.

And pressed it!

Ding dong—

The bell sounded particularly grating, piercing through Lin Xian’s heart.

Shortly after, the door opened.

It was Su Xiuying.

Her eyes were red and swollen, with recently wiped tear streaks on her face.

"Aunt Xiu Ying…"

Lin Xian called out softly.

It seemed.

Chu Shanhe and Su Xiuying had obviously learned of Chu Anqing’s situation.

But how they found out was not important...

Seeing Su Xiuying’s swollen eyes, it was clear she had been crying for a while.

Lin Xian’s guilt tightened his grip:

"I’m sorry, aunt."

Su Xiuying wiped her eyes, pointing to the living room inside:

"Shanhe is in there waiting for you... he knew you would come."

Lin Xian nodded.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

He walked in.

He had prepared himself for all sorts of questions and didn’t mind being honest about anything Chu Shanhe would ask.

He was responsible for losing Chu An.

His footsteps echoed as he approached the living room.

The tall man sitting on the couch rose upon hearing the steps... but he seemed much thinner than before, not nearly as imposing.

Chu Shanhe slowly turned around, his furrowed eyes locking onto Lin Xian.

"I’m sorry, Mister Chu."

Lin Xian lowered his head:

"I’m sorry... I didn’t protect An Qing well enough."

Five meters apart.

Chu Shanhe stood still, not moving.

He exhaled deeply:
