Chapter 259: Chapter 50 Blessing or Curse

Rose Hotel.

It was almost midnight.

After absorbing the hair of several people, Dai Lin could see not only their current life experiences, but also those of their past lives, very clearly.

Including...

Hai Jian Shi.

And... Ji Danshu.

Absorbing the memories of others felt to Dai Lin as if he had lived those lives himself, which was entirely different from reading someone’s biography or watching their life previews.

Thus, Dai Lin could deeply comprehend the emotions of Hai Jian Shi and Ji Danshu.

...

"So... this island allows the dead to reincarnate."

"Right. The people on the island see it as a blessing from the heavens bestowed upon this land."

Hai Jian Shi said to Dai Lin, "Anyway, I’m very grateful to you, Dr. Dai."

"As a doctor, saving lives is my duty," Dai Lin replied, and then looked at Hai Jian Shi with a meaningful tone, "I already know... everything about you."

"You know?"

"I previously asked you for your hair to read your memories... Please forgive me for invading your privacy, but I had to do it."

Hai Jian Shi was taken aback, then said, "You can read... memories through hair?"

"I’m very sorry..."

Suddenly, Dai Lin felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, having access to someone’s memories meant having no secrets hidden from him.

"Since you already know, that’s fine."

Fortunately, Hai Jian Shi did not take the issue too seriously.

"I’ll be troubling you during this period, Dr. Dai."

On the bed beside them lay the unconscious Ji Danshu.

Dai Lin and Hai Jian Shi would take turns watching over her at night. For Dai Lin, who didn’t need sleep, this arrangement was more than suitable.

"I will help. I won’t charge you a single Spiritual Therapy Point."

After that, Dai Lin added, "I... I understand how you are feeling right now."

"Before I met Han Yin, I had already planned to end my life."

Hai Jian Shi didn’t mind telling the truth in front of Dai Lin, his lifesaver.

"Remembering past lives with each reincarnation was very painful. The memories from past and present lives tangled together, to the point where I couldn’t even determine who I really was. The people I once loved have become someone else, living entirely different lives. That was when I realized that recalling past lives after reincarnation was more a torture and a curse than a blessing. When the memories of my current life awakened, I felt that I had truly lived enough."

"All this... I know."

"But then I met Han Yin..."

Saying this, Hai Jian Shi unconsciously looked towards Ji Danshu.

Before today...

Hai Jian Shi had always treated his wife as the reincarnation of Mei Hanyin.

Her birth coincided exactly with the death of Mei Hanyin. Although it was believed on the island that those who were murdered couldn’t reincarnate, who knew if exceptions might occur? After all, from a statistical point of view, it’s akin to the Black Swan phenomenon in Scotland.

"I truly thought... it was her."

Hai Jian Shi looked at Ji Danshu on the bed, his feelings a tumultuous mess. Anyone in such a situation would experience great inner conflict.

But in the end, it was all just his own wishful thinking.

"Mr. Hai, I need to remind you of something," said Dai Lin, intensifying his tone, "Your lover from a past life has now become an evil spirit devoid of humanity. So... I hope you won’t have any more illusions about it."

"I know..." Hai Jian Shi just mechanically repeated this sentence.

It’s one thing to believe in something rationally, but emotionally, it’s quite difficult to accept.

Hai Jian Shi was in such a state.

The most painful past life that Hai Jian Shi could recall... was during the period of the Republic of China.

The warlord chaos... the invasion by the Japanese...

In that life, he was conscripted as a soldier, and after going to the battlefield, he clenched his teeth and followed his troop to fight the "ghosts." His marksmanship was surprisingly good, and in the barrage of gunfire, he didn’t know how many "ghosts" he had killed, but he finally made it to Japan’s surrender.

At that time, he naturally thought the war would end, and he could be demobilized to return to Azure Island. But unexpectedly, less than a year later, General Chang was waging war again. Killing Japanese, he felt it was his duty, whether it was a few hundred or a few thousand, he would do it without even blinking an eye. But the "ghosts" had already been driven away, so why continue fighting?

In the end, he was captured and released with travel expenses back to Azure Island, but all his family had died, so in despair, he threw himself into the sea...

"You can see my memories from the Republic of China, right?"

"Yes... During the resistance, you were truly brave in killing the ’ghosts,’ and for that, I salute you."

"It was the times that forced it out of me. In my even earlier life, in the late Qing, the Beiyang, the Nationalist Party, the Japanese ’ghosts’... endless famines and wars, during that time, I could only live for about thirty years at a time..."

Dai Lin roughly guessed what he was about to say.

"History... is truly cruel."

"Our fates are just a line of numbers and symbols in history books."

Then he paused, and continued, "Until I met Han Yin... I wanted to have an entirely new life with her, and for the first time, I was grateful for this island’s reincarnation mechanism."

As he said this, his grip tightened, "But now I am beginning to understand, this island is an endless curse to us. If I die of old age in the future, I hope to never be sea buried again. I don’t want to start a new life. To live as a human, then die as one, and ultimately decay in the soil. I just want to live such a life one more time."

As he spoke, he looked towards Ji Danshu.

"But... this life, is the happiest and most peaceful days I’ve ever had."

What does it mean to have peaceful years and a quiet life? He finally experienced it in this lifetime.

Suddenly, Ji Danshu opened her eyes.

"Danshu!"

She looked at her husband Hai Jian Shi, then quickly came to her senses.

"Dan Yang? How is Dan Yang?"

At this moment, what Ji Danshu cared about most was whether her brother was alive or dead!

Was her brother okay?

She saw the solemn expression on Hai Jian Shi’s face, his silence without a response, and she guessed a bit of it.

"Jian Shi? You, speak to me! Jian Shi! Jian Shi!"

Dai Lin knew that what needed to be said, had to be said.

It couldn’t be hidden from her forever.

"We... later found Mr. Ji’s... body downstairs. He had also... drowned."

Hai Jian Shi bowed his head in front of Ji Danshu.

"I’m sorry, Danshu."

Ji Danshu felt the world spinning, nearly fainting again.

"His body... drowned?"

Leng Mu... no, Mei Hanyin!

A deep hatred gnawed at Ji Danshu.

"I will kill her! I must kill her!"
