The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 13 Expulsion from the Citizenship?
July 28th, 7:30 AM.

Jiang Chuan took off his blindfold after getting off the bus, and what he saw was an unremarkable factory building.

It seems that they directly requisitioned abandoned factory buildings to use as the "organization's" office space, which is consistent with Jiang Chuan's deduction.

This organization is indeed newly established.

He followed the burly man in the black suit into the factory building. The building was quiet, with all sorts of goods and equipment piled up in the corridors in a messy manner. It was clear at a glance that it was not yet fully in use.

Even though Jiang Chuan didn't understand these instruments, he could still see how much potential this place had.

Once fully operational, it will be a massive institution covering all aspects of life.

He looked down and saw several pieces of scrap paper scattered on the ground. Although he couldn't see what was written on the papers, Jiang Chuan could immediately tell that these scrap papers were the questionnaires from a few days ago.

"Is this where the questionnaires for the 30 million people in Qingdao are processed?"

"Now that it's being treated as waste paper, does that mean the data has already been collected?"

"It seems I was right, I am indeed the only one without dreams."

He observed the environment as he made his judgment.

How many people can this place hold?

"At least two or three thousand, I guess."

"No wonder they were able to process all the questionnaire information in just a few days."

Before long, the man in the suit who had been leading the way stopped, and they arrived at a room on the third floor.

The man in the suit turned to look at Jiang Chuan and said, "Go on, he's waiting for you inside."

Jiang Chuan nodded and took a deep breath.

He was well aware that his actions today would determine his future.

Whether I, without a ticket, can board this new era cruise ship depends on my performance from now on.

"My previous deduction has just been confirmed."

"At least I possess the uniqueness of being a dreamless person..."

"Even if it's not the only one, it's extremely rare."

"This is probably why this person wants to see me."

"Perhaps I don't even need to say anything; this particularity itself will make them start to speculate."

"Plus those posts that were deleted yesterday..."

"They may have already made reasonable guesses, who knows?"

Many thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Without pausing, he pushed open the door to the room.

With a creak, the door opened, and Jiang Chuan saw everything in the room.

What I saw were all sorts of medical equipment, a hospital bed, and a young man standing next to the bed.

Although she looks young, she appears quite old.

This aged appearance is specifically reflected in the seemingly thinning of the hair.

He looked exhausted, much like I was feeling after a sleepless night.

After Jiang Chuan entered, the room door slammed shut.

The other party spoke first: "Jiang Chuan?"

"I am Li Yu, from Yanjing."

Jiang Chuan: "Hello, hello."

Li Yu seems to be less adept at socializing than Jiang Chuan.

He simply patted the bed board next to him, signaling Jiang Chuan to lie down there.

Jiang Chuan, however, felt somewhat uneasy, as he had a mission to accomplish this time.

The other person doesn't speak, but he still has to steer the conversation.

At this point, Jiang Chuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the conversation.

"Can I ask a few questions?"

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard this, but he nodded.

However, even if he didn't nod, Jiang Chuan would still ask.

Words are seeds; once heard, they will be thought about in the mind, regardless of whether the listener responds or not.

But of course, he could have given a better answer.

So when Jiang Chuan saw him nod, he was quite excited.

After all, past life dreams are too mysterious, and no one can help but have doubts about them.

Jiang Chuan stopped in his tracks to avoid starting the inspection too early, which would prevent him from achieving his goal.

After stopping, he asked:
"The first question is..."

Does everyone dream of their past lives?

"This dream... is it a past life? Is it real?"

Li Yu seemed to make no attempt to hide his concerns, pointing out the problems in the Jiangchuan issue quite frankly:

"To be precise, it wasn't a past life."

"Instead, the information carried in the genes was recognized by the brain for some reason."

The exact reason is currently unknown.

"But there is no doubt that they are all real."

Jiang Chuan frowned; this was the first time he had ever heard of this information.

However, Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi, who were watching the surveillance footage, gasped in shock.

On the 23rd, when the research institute was just urgently established, Xu Chenggong and Wang Zhi discussed why genetic scientists appeared on the list of dream survey questionnaires.

"I see... Is it information contained within the genes?"

Xu Chenggong glanced at Wang Zhi.

After all, Wang Zhi was an expert in genetics, and he wanted to ask Li Yu some questions about what he had just said... But at that moment, Li Yu, on the surveillance footage, spoke again:
"You should know that human genetics has only been around for a few years, and our understanding of genes is still very limited."

"Life on Earth has evolved over 38 billion years. Human civilization, however, has only emerged in the last ten thousand years, and even if we start counting from Homo sapiens, it's only a history of tens of millions of years..."

"Human beings, in the long course of the development of life... are but a drop in the ocean."

"And the origin of our human genes is nothing more than those most primitive single-celled organisms."

"That's why our genes contain so much information."

Li Yu's voice was cold, and he spoke very quickly.

He presented this astonishing information with an air of nonchalance.

This man named Li Yu seemed determined to make a shocking statement, relentlessly continuing to reveal the truth:

"Although most of our genetic information no longer participates in protein transcription, it still lies dormant in our bodies. You should understand that our genes even contain the genetic information of some ancient viruses, and as carriers of information, genetic factors will naturally inherit some fragments of memory information."

"Examples...actually, there are some."

"You should also know that people who have undergone heart transplant surgery will retain the lifestyle habits of the former heart owner."

"What this means, I think you can guess."

"However, I can't say any more on this point."

"Based on the current standards set by headquarters, even what I just mentioned is far beyond your level of access."

Then why are you saying so much?
Jiang Chuan looked at him, his expression turning serious.

He had already anticipated that things might not go as planned.

He was somewhat wary, but his mind was filled with such exaggerated information that he couldn't immediately find the source of his unease.

Just as Jiang Chuan was puzzled, Li Yu spoke up again: "The reason I'm telling you so much is actually quite simple. Ultimately, so-called past life memories come from genes, so people who haven't had special dreams shouldn't exist."

"Then Jiangchuan..."

"and who are you?"

His cold, chilling voice abruptly stopped at this point.

The room fell silent, and his gaze sharpened in that instant.

He stared at Jiang Chuan without saying a word.

The atmosphere became tense instantly.

When Li Yu asked that question, Jiang Chuan felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his brain!

"Who am I!?"

"My genes... aren't human genes!?"

What exactly did this Li Yu come to see me for?

Could it be that he's going to get rid of himself?!
"What a joke!"

Although he was deeply shocked, Jiang Chuan rationally understood that what this guy said did make some sense.

If those past life memories come from genes, how could someone not have dreamt of a past life?

What happened to me?
"Am I not human?"

"How could that be? My parents just passed away early, they weren't born from a rock..."

Regardless, at least his identity is not in question.

Even if you haven't dreamt of your past life, you shouldn't be expelled from the human race.

Even if the other party suspects that you are not human, the first thing to do is to take control of yourself immediately, rather than engaging in a long argument with them.

"What exactly does he mean by this?"

"He should know that there's nothing wrong with my identity, but his words and attitude..."

Is this some kind of test?

Perhaps it was because of the current high pressure that Jiang Chuan's thoughts were flowing extremely smoothly.

He immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Even if we don't know what Li Yu's current purpose is, the fact that Li Yu couldn't control himself makes his behavior contradictory.

So this question is most likely just some kind of conjecture on his part, or the real reason he came here to confirm and check himself.

Amidst his deep thoughts, Jiang Chuan's initially tense mind relaxed. He looked at Li Yu and calmly asked in return:
"If I have any questions, can't you just choose not to answer them?"

When Jiang Chuan asked this rhetorical question, Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

He smiled, looked at Jiang Chuan, and nodded, as if confirming something:

"The report is correct..."

"He is indeed quite clever, and his mental fortitude is also quite good."

"Back to business."

"Let's begin the inspection."

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems to be some kind of stress test...

But what's the point?
Jiang Chuan didn't understand this, but he couldn't start the examination right now.

Because I have only raised one question so far.

He had to continue guiding the conversation, so when faced with the invitation to examine him, Jiang Chuan didn't go to the bedside. Instead, he asked, feigning ignorance, "I already know the answer."

"Didn't you already have a check-up at the city hospital?"

Jiang Chuan originally thought that Li Yu would say something simple, such as "it needs to be confirmed in person".

But to everyone's surprise, upon hearing this question, Li Yu's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Jiang Chuan and countered with:

"Guess why I came here in person?"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback.

How do I continue this?
