92. Previous Life Reclining Buddha

The long leg girl, Nivii, suddenly asked:

"Brother Xi, why do you need so many pillows when you sleep?

Why do you have to raise your upper body and sleep half-lying down.

Is it because your upper body is relatively short?"

JiiXi explained,

"My sleeping posture is rather special.

The inspiration comes from my past life, Sakyamuni, a reclining Buddha statue.

This posture allows me to keep a bit of consciousness awake while sleeping.

If I lie flat to sleep, I'll sleep too deeply, and time will pass by and seem to be missing a lot.

Sleeping half-lying down can keep the dream time as continuous as possible, and time won't be missing so much."

..

This is JiiXi's "The Eighth Talent of Prophet" (Dream Awareness).

In the dream, part of the subconscious can remain awake.

.

The long leg girl, Nivii, was curious and asked:

"Why do you know that your past life was Sakyamuni?"

JiiXi frowned and said:

"It's hard to explain. It's kind of an intuition.

I was born understanding Buddhism, Zen and those things.

Sakyamuni left a lot of things that only I can understand.

Moreover, when I see Buddha statues, it seems like they are my statues.

It seems that I've been replicating the life track of Sakyamuni all the time."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, was surprised and said:

"It's the era of machine intelligence now.

Robots can explain almost all knowledge for humans.

So, in Utopia, there is no religious belief anymore.

There are hardly any people who believe in past lives anymore.

Because these mystical things go against science."

JiiXi raised her eyebrows and said:

"I'm different.

I believe in this mystical thing.

I may also be one of the few mystics in the world.

Because many things that happened to me can't be explained by science.

All sciences have a degree of credibility and an accuracy probability.

I found that although some mystical explanations may not conform to science.

But mystical explanations can be more reasonable.

And its credibility is a bit higher than that of scientific explanations.

This is also the reason why religions haven't completely died out in the era of machine intelligence."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, was strange and said:

"Why do you believe in such absurd things as mysticism?"

JiiXi was depressed and said:

"I don't want to believe in mysticism either.

During the day, I'm a very rigorous scientist.

But at night, I'm completely different.

Darkness brings me endless illusions.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

If I enter a dark room.

Endless creatures will rush towards me in the darkness.

It's the same when I close my eyes.

I can't explain these things clearly with science.

I can only explain them with mysticism.

Moreover, I can understand mystical things at a glance.

I seem to be born understanding many mystical things.

There's no way. I'm a complete charlatan by nature."

..

This is a mixture of JiiXi's various prophet talents, including:

"The Sixth Talent of Prophet" (Super Awareness): Super perception.

"The Seventh Talent of Prophet" (Dark Awareness): Dark illusions.

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, said:

"No wonder you don't turn off the lights when you sleep."

JiiXi was helpless and said:

"If I turn off the lights when I sleep.

Soon, the dark illusions will wake me up in fright.

So, I've never dared to turn off the lights when I sleep since I was a kid."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, asked:

"What will you do if there's a sudden power outage?"

JiiXi pointed to the five super long-life locks on her body and said:

"Do you see the super Amulet Lock on my body?

They will automatically glow when they sense the surrounding darkness.

My mother got them for me.

Isn't she very caring?"

..

Suddenly, the long leg girl, Nivii, thought of something and said:

"Brother Xi, you definitely can't imagine it.

Let me tell you a huge miracle.

That girl assassin, Witiivi, survived again.

She successfully escaped the death assassination game.

She created a miracle in the assassin world.

She has already become a legend in the assassin world."

JiiXi's eyelids twitched instantly and said:

"That Cute girl assassin is really lucky."

..

The long leg girl, Nivii, asked:

"Don't you consider saving her?"

JiiXi frowned tightly and said:

"I've already saved a death assassin.

I can't save the Cute girl assassin anymore.

Moreover, the death assassin I saved is rather special.

He happened to be the one who killed the old coachman with his own hands.

If the assassin I saved hadn't killed the old coachman with his own hands.

I could still go to save the Cute girl assassin.

But things are just so miraculously coincidental.

Perhaps, this is fate, or even destiny.

I can't go overboard, be excessive or deliberately save people.

So, I can't save her anymore.

Whether her fate is life or death?

Let the intelligent spirit of the coachman decide."

..

The bald girl, Qimii, said:

"It's not that you don't want to save the girl assassin, Witiivi.

It's that you already don't have the ability to bear the disasters she brings to you.

You yourself are already like a clay Buddha crossing a river, hardly able to save yourself.

You've been assassinated twice in a row in two days.

And both times, a lot of money was spent to kill you.

The secret organizations that want to kill you are not simple in origin.

Being with you, both of us girls are in danger of losing our lives."

..

JiiXi's eyelids twitched wildly and said:

"It's not that I'm unable to bear the disasters of the Cute girl assassin.

It's that I dare not face her personality and her fate.

She's like the negative shadow of my personality.

She's also like the negative shadow of my fate.

I'm not essentially different from her.

The main difference between me and her.

Is just that I was born in a relatively relaxed family.

I have a strange mother, that's all.

If I'm not careful.

My end may also be the same as hers.

My outcome may be as miserable as hers."
