Chapter 989: How Do You Prove You Are You?

If we regard a person's soul as the software of a computer system.

Then the body is the hardware that makes up the computer system.

Lin Feng's body is rather special, belonging to a rare 'heavy-duty system' computer.

The new system is the present Lin Feng.

The system that was 'uninstalled' is the original Lin Feng.

Although their names are the same, they are two completely different souls.

After the former Lin Feng died, his soul—or more precisely, his soul imprint—did not completely disappear.

It remains stored in the brain, and this storage area is like a marked sector on a computer hard disk.

The Heavenly Book Spirit, wishing to be reborn through soul possession, must read the hardware information of this 'computer' that is Lin Feng.

Everyone knows that for a computer system to run properly, its software and hardware must match.

In Lin Feng's memory process, the Heavenly Book Spirit is like a virus, becoming more complete as Lin Feng's memories accumulate,

finally forming a fairly complete 'operating system'.

The first step for the Heavenly Book Spirit is to install itself, overwriting Lin Feng's operating system.

Then it replaces Lin Feng, becoming the new operating system of this body.

It should have read the hardware information of the present Lin Feng.

But what it read was the original Lin Feng instead.

That person was an ordinary individual with a frail, ordinary human body.

The present Lin Feng, after being enhanced by the Young Witch,

and also patched with various enhancers and ability enhancers developed by Qi Yao.

If the former Lin Feng were a 286 computer,

the present Lin Feng is already the latest model computer, with memory alone in the tens of gigabytes,

a single output can reach several billion, dozens of times that of an ordinary computer.

Its processing speed is also very fast, with high frequency and the ability to work continuously for a long time.

How could the driver program compiled from the former person's bodily information possibly drive the present Lin Feng?

Moreover, it only has one chance.

Once the 'system reinstall' is triggered, if it cannot overwrite Lin Feng's current operating system, it will be the one that is doomed.

Because in this process it will expose the code that constitutes it.

Lin Feng doesn't even need to act; the self‑protection mechanism will actively delete those codes.

Failure means becoming benevolent.

Besides the body's immune system, the soul's consciousness also has one!

"That's how it is; our souls also have corresponding immune functions—the stronger the willpower, the stronger the immunity."

Lin Feng finally concluded.

Of course, he did not mention the matter of reincarnation.

This is his greatest secret.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Feng looked at Qi Yao.

He saw Qi Yao looking at him with distrustful eyes.

Um~

Lin Feng suddenly understood.

His recent explanation sounded reasonable, but because he hadn't spoken of reincarnation,

there is a logical loophole.

With Qi Yao's intelligence, how could she not notice?

This woman, who often looks through a microscope, is very meticulous in her thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Caiwei saw the strange expression on Qi Yao's face and asked curiously.

Qi Yao said lightly: "How can you prove you are the original you, rather than the Heavenly Book Spirit completely replacing you after obtaining your memories?"

"Completely replacing you?"

"If that were the case, we would be unable to tell the difference."

"Exactly!"

Qian Miaomiao gasped in shock.

She immediately jumped up and stepped back a meter from Lin Feng.

For psychological reasons, she suddenly felt that Lin Feng had become a stranger.

Lin Feng gave a wry smile.

Had I known this would happen, I shouldn't have spoken of this process.

I could find another excuse.

For example, say it's an adverse reaction to reading the Heavenly Book, and so on.

So people really shouldn't be too honest.

They say a lie needs ten or a hundred more lies to cover it up.

But sometimes telling the truth also cannot be explained.

Lin Feng gave a wry smile: "Yao Yao, you're right about that, but right now I really can't think of any way to prove I am myself."

"Boss, what should we do?"

Yang Caiwei frowned, looking at Qi Yao.

Qian Miaomiao suggested, 'Should we give him a test?'

Yang Caiwei shook her head, 'Just as the boss said, even if he changed souls, he still has his senior brother's memories; nothing can trip him up in a test.'

'What about those behavior habits?'

Qian Miaomiao also said.

Yang Caiwei still shook her head, 'This still won't work, likewise because of the memory issue.'

But Qi Yao nodded, 'Behavioral habits, this can work!'

Huh?

Yang Caiwei and Qian Miaomiao were puzzled.

Qi Yao explained, 'Everyone has their own behavioral habits; even if souls merge together to form a new soul,

its behavior will also change, especially some unconscious actions.'

'That makes sense!'

Lin Feng nodded.

Qi Yao said, 'We need to inform the Younger Witch and Jing Wu about this. Before they arrive, we won't proceed with verification.

Also, during the verification process, I need to write a detailed form for evaluation.'

'Hmm!'

Lin Feng nodded helplessly.

He must fully cooperate to fill this pit before him!

Just now, he originally wanted to tell Qi Yao the secret of his rebirth,

to prove his innocence.

But upon second thought, he shouldn't say this now.

Otherwise, Qi Yao would become more suspicious; it would be like adding branches outside the main stem, making things more complicated.

After Qi Yao gave her instructions, she left directly.

Yang Caiwei and Qian Miaomiao exchanged a glance, then made an excuse and slipped away.

Lin Feng felt abandoned for the first time.

A hint of irritation arose in his heart.

Then, unconsciously, he took out a cigarette, lit it, inhaled deeply, and exhaled a smoke ring.

Lin Feng is someone who knows how to adjust his emotions.

He quickly set aside the matter at hand.

Let's just do it the way Qi Yao thought of!

Next, he began to organize his memories.

The characters constituting the Heavenly Book are missing 11.2% in Lin Feng's memory.

He only knows that much is missing.

As for which specific characters, he can't recall.

Because these are the 'codes' that constitute the Heavenly Book's Spirit.

His soul, out of self-protection mechanism, completely eliminated these 'codes'.

This elimination is a thorough erasure, leaving no chance for recovery.

What remains now is the complete, problem-free text of the Heavenly Book.

At the same time, there are many memory fragments left behind by the Heavenly Book's Spirit.

The Heavenly Book's Spirit, in order to be resurrected, when converting itself into codes, aside from retaining some important memories,

the rest were all deleted.

However, it retained the 'key' to restore memories.

That is a treasury placed on a certain planet in the universe.

There, not only does it possess a complete memory database that can allow the Heavenly Book's Spirit to fully recover its self, but also a vast amount of cosmic tangible wealth.
