The Reincarnation Project has existed for fifteen years. Nahar had invested a great amount of money and energy in this project. However, it had never succeeded once. Salman, being the head of this clandestine laboratory, was aware of the possibility of it succeeding. How was she so confident in the success of this project?

Xia Lei couldn’t help but think about this question.

“I’ll call Mister Nahar. He should witness the miracle.” Salman pulled out her phone.

Xia Lei grabbed Salman’s hand before she called him. “Don't call him. I think it's better to surprise him.”

Salman frowned. “So, you want me to surprise Mister Nahar. The man who’s waited his whole life for this. Japanese people are so strange. What makes you think I'm going to do this?”

“We’re investors,” said Xia Lei.

“Hmph! I’ll call Mister Nahar now. You have two choices. You can either leave or shut your mouth and stay. Let go of my hands. Otherwise, I'll ask the security to show you out.” Salman was starting to get irritated.

Xia Lei let go of her hands, but at the same time, he took her phone.

“What are you doing?” Salman got angry. “Get out!”

Xia Lei picked up his backpack from the floor and opened it. He then took out a pile of hundred dollars. It wasn't a small pile. It was a big pile and the amount was at least fifty or sixty thousand dollars.

Salman was stunned.

Xia Lei said in a calm voice. “I don't know how long it's been since you've had a paycheck from Nahar. This is fifty thousand dollars. To be honest, all of you would be dismissed after the experiment. Nahar may have fulfilled his lifelong ambitions, but what do you get from this? You all get nothing! You may even lose your job.”

Salman hesitated while looking at the pile of dollars. Excitement and greed started to dance in her eyes. The income of the Indians was only one-tenth of a Chinese. Twenty percent of Indians earned less than two dollars per day. Most Indians earned less than ten dollars per day. Although it was clear that she earned more than that, it must not have been much. Nahar offered her thirty dollars per day by working here. It would take her five years to earn the money that was given by Xia Lei. Besides, this was only possible if Nahar did not go bankrupt. That was not the case.

“Isn’t this enough for buying Mister Nahar a surprise?” Xia Lei smiled.

“You're not buying Mister Nahar a surprise. What on earth are you up to? Who the hell are you?” Salman was not a gullible woman.

“Would you like the answer or the money?” asked Xia Lei.

Her lips moved, but she did not say anything.

“It seems like you want both,” said Xia Lei. “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. The truth is I’m the CEO of V Science Corp. However, I don’t believe the experiment you’re working on would succeed. Mister Nahar had discussed the reincarnation project with me but I find it too unrealistic. I simply can’t believe that it would work. That is the reason I’m here. I want to find out first hand if it is possible. If you manage to get it working, I’ll fund a new laboratory where you will work. You will get a better working environment and a higher salary. This is my answer. It’s your turn to make a decision now.”

Tsukino Kyoko moved her hands behind her back. A sword slipped out of her sleeve. If Salman rejected the offer, her life would be forfeit.

Salman hesitated. “I need another fifty thousand dollars to give to others. They have not been paid for two months.”

“No problem.” Xia Lei took out another pile of cash and gave it to Salman. “However, I have a request. I want their phones after you distribute the money. Then, start the experiment right away.”

“Alright, Mister Mai.” Salman's lips curled up into a smile. She couldn’t pronounce ‘Mei’ properly yet.

Salman left after hiding the fifty thousand dollars beneath her clothes. She planned to share the remaining fifty thousand dollars with her colleagues. She also wanted a share of the fifty thousand dollars.

Tsukino Kyoko was watching Salman as Salman was distributing the money. She said, “Boss, do you carry a large amount of cash with you in every operation?”

Xia Lei smiled. “Money has a way of convincing people that guns don’t. I know you were trying to kill that Indian woman, but if you kill her, who's going to carry out the experiment? She works for Nahar because of the money. So, if I give her more money, she'll work for me.”

“That makes sense. However, I don’t think any amount of money can resurrect the dead. If a man dies, he dies. There is no possibility of resurrection. The people here, including Nahar, are no more than whimsical Frankenstein.”

“I don’t mind the results. I can just treat it as a firework show.”

Tsukino Kyoko was speechless.

Rich people had a different thought process to regular people.

Salman took a short amount of time to explain the situation to all her colleagues. All of them accepted the offer. They agreed to start the reincarnation experiment immediately and handed in their phones. It was rather easy to make this decision. Their choice was between a boss that had not given paycheck for two months and cash that was worth a few years’ salaries. Anyone in their right mind would have made this decision. Besides, the one who was buying them had no ill intention. He was just buying a front-row seat to the experiment.

Almost all equipment in the laboratory was turned on under the instruction of Salman. Gu Kewen’s body was also retrieved from the glass container and was put on the operating table of the Divine Hand. Salman operated the Divine Hand herself. She was repairing the damaged nerve in Gu Kewen’s neck.

It was undeniable that Salman’s apperception ability was considerably good as she could operate this after watching Xia Lei’s operation for once.

Xia Lei couldn’t help to reach out and touch Gu Kewen’s calf during the operation. He was stunned after touching the calf. Her calf muscles were still elastic and warm and it was nothing like a corpse. Her skin and muscle should have lost their elasticity as she had been dead for so long.

Xia Lei moved to another corner of the laboratory, where the two corpses were situated.

There was no fabric on the bodies of the two women. It didn’t seem like two corpses. Instead, it was two fine works of art.

Xia Lei couldn’t suppress his curiosity. Once again, he reached out again to touch the calf of the blonde women. It was a soft and elastic calf with normal temperature. He then touched the Asian woman's body. The result was the same.

“How is this possible?” Xia Lei was aghast at his discovery. His gaze fell on Ning Jing’s body. Without hesitation, he approached Ning Jing.

Ning Jing was lying peacefully on the operating table. She was patched with wires and catheters, just like the other two. However, the difference between the corpses and Ning Jing was there was a slight movement from Ning Jing’s chest. It indicated that she was breathing. Her skin and muscle tension were still like a normal person. Although Xia Lei was clear about this, he couldn’t help himself but squeeze her arm while thinking. “What role would she have in this experiment?”

Reincarnation was the future of the dead. Why would they need a living person?

“Mister, please refrain from touching them.” A researcher came over and said to Xia Lei.

Xia Lei snapped back to his senses. He nodded, “I’m just curious. When are you guys starting the experiment?”

“We’ll start right after Miss Salman repairs the nerves of the corpse. She’s the core of this experiment. We couldn’t start the experiment without her presence,” said the researcher.

“What’s going on with her?” Xia Lei pointed at Ning Jing. “She’s alive. What is her role in this experiment?”

“The psychic,” said the researcher. “In the view of Hinduism, she’s someone who can communicate with God. In the view of science, she’s a catalyst or a conductor.”

“Catalyst? Conductor? What conduction? What does this mean?” Xia Lei raised four questions at once.

“Stimulating the soul’s response, bringing in energy to the soul. It’s an essential process during reincarnation. Don’t worry, Mister. You’ll understand it soon.” The researcher was annoyed by Xia Lei’s questions. He walked away after giving a brief explanation.

Xia Lei had his understanding after listening to the brief explanation.

The reincarnation experiment was basically an experiment to revive the dead. They preserved the body and medically maximized its proximity to the body of a living person. Then, they awaken the soul by special means to achieve the purpose of resurrection.

The resurrection of the dead was not uncommon in medical history. However, that was only plausible for people who had been dead for a few minutes. Once that time had passed, it was almost impossible for the dead to be alive. The existence of the soul was more of a myth. No one has ever been able to prove the existence of the soul. It only existed in religious settings. How can a thing that does not exist be made possible by scientific means?

“Hold on…” Just when Xia Lei was refuting the theory based on his understanding, he thought of a special existence. “If souls do not exist in this world, then what is Princess Yongmei, Zhu Xuanyue?”

At this moment, Salman walked towards Xia Lei. “Mister Mai, I have repaired her nerves. It’s time to start the experiment.”

Xia Lei gathered his thoughts. “Go ahead. I can’t wait to witness the miracle.”

“Your wish will be fulfilled as the experiment will definitely succeed this time.” Salman was confident.

“You have failed for fifteen years. Why do you think you will succeed this time?” Xia Lei was bewildered.

Salman hesitated before she whispered to Xia Lei. “I'll tell you a secret for the sake of the money.”

“What is the secret?”
