Chapter 2 Perceptions

Is there anything that exists after death?

If nothing exists after death, then the whole world has no meaning to the individual person.

As for what still exists after death, in what form, what kind of world it enters, whether it exists in another dimension, or whether it will be reincarnated, it is impossible for a living person to know.

From this point of view, death is like a one-way journey, and since there is no way to return, it is natural that we cannot tell the living what we have seen and heard and what we will ultimately do.

On the other hand, if a person has a soul after death, that soul naturally knows where to go. If there is no soul, then there is no point in discussing.

In short, whether there is a soul, whether there is a netherworld, whether there is heaven and hell, may always be a mystery to the living.

Even if there are "psychics", or people who have returned to life for some miraculous reason after entering a world that should be completely isolated after death, their accounts will not be believed by most people because they cannot be verified and reproduced.

Even some of the people involved themselves could not believe their bizarre experience, and regarded it as an unbelievable dream.

It was the middle of the night, and the night wind blew the flowers and trees in the courtyard, the branches and leaves rattled, and the moonlight reflected the shadows on the curtains.

In this quiet night, Shen Chen lay on the bed, his eyes widened, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The past life was not a very good memory for him. Around the turn of the 21st century, a mysterious transnational criminal organization was once well known.

Around the world, the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe...... Whether it's the assassination of a politician, the lives of a wealthy man, or the theft of trade secrets or top-secret documents hidden in a safe in a bank or private home, the organization will always get the job done, as long as the client can afford it.

And Shen Chen is a member of the Hong Kong branch of the Foreign Service Department in the organization, nicknamed "Ghost Hand". In terms of martial arts, he is not the most outstanding when he is a monk halfway, but in terms of comprehensive skills, he is the most comprehensive. Not only highly educated, but also with a pair of dexterous hands, a brilliant mind.

Agent, spy, and ruthless killer. Shen Chen grew up in an orphanage and was finally able to graduate from university, which can be described as an inspirational model. It's just that luck seems to have left him later, and he was imprisoned for an accidental conflict that led to the accidental killing of a gangster.

In prison, he was retaliated against by the gang and almost died. It was precisely because of his resistance that he did not give in and did not give up in prison that he was favored by the organization and got him out in advance through various channels. Later, after becoming ruthless and violent in the ordeal, he was trained in hell in the organization to become a capable leader, and a tool for mechanical tasks.

Such times made him numb from excitement and withered from passion. Until one day, Shen Chen's muzzle fell in the innocent and kind gaze of a young girl. Mengjie was only six years old at the time, and it was this immaculate innocence and kindness, as well as his faith in treating everything equally, that moved him. For Shen Chen, she is the eternal light that illuminates his new life path.

Shen Chen, who has a clear conscience, is reawakened to his humanity, and he is more and more tired of living like the walking dead, and more and more tired of being a tool for murder and stealing. He broke away from the organization and wanted to start a new life of his own.

But the organization absolutely could not tolerate Shen Chen's separation, and in order to make an example, they pursued Shen Chen without giving up. Running around and dying at the end of the world, Shen Chen finally did not escape the poisonous hands of the organization, but he finally regained his freedom and rebirth in an unbelievable way.

No matter what his appearance and body have become, his heart is still Shen Chen, and that's enough.

Now, Shen Chen also understands why when he was reborn and possessed for the first time, he would be a Northeast bandit who did a lot of evil, but in the face of national hatred and family hatred, he raised a gun to resist Japan and died heroically; I also understood some of the meaning of the echoing voice, the voice that sounded like the chanting of the gods, as the soul wandered through the dark and gloomy labyrinth.

It was not just forgiveness, but the responsibility that was given or placed on him, or the beginning of self-redemption.

But although it was the second time that he had crossed over and been reborn, he had already had the experience of being reborn, so Shen Chen should be very calm. But this time the rebirth is very paradoxical, a big man suddenly becomes a little girl, which is really unacceptable, and it does take some time to calm down.

Crossing, Dying, Possession, Rebirth...... No matter how unbelievable it is, Shen Chen no longer uses any scientific thinking to think about problems. But he was clear about the mission and responsibility given to him.

People can have no faith, but they should believe in the justice and justice of the world. Yes, when Shen Chen realized the despicable, cruel, deceitful, murderous, and betrayal crimes he had committed, and sincerely repented and acted in order to get the promise of a bright afterlife.

Moreover, he already felt the strangeness of the growth and recovery ability of his body after being reborn. This is the golden finger given to oneself in order to accomplish some kind of mission, right? Shen Chen guessed like this, slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked at the vast night outside.

Let's start again! It's not that Shen Chen didn't think about ending his life and exchanging it for another rebirth. But she wasn't sure if she would be able to do so, in case she was forever chained to darkness. What if you are reborn in the body of a seriously ill bedridden old man, or a milk doll who is powerless?

"If there is a time of war or turmoil, please do not let me be empty of sorrow in the prime of my life, and I will not be left with the sorrow of old age and powerlessness......"

I don't know who said this, but it was remembered by Shen Chen again at this time. Although a seventeen-year-old rich lady is a little unsatisfactory, although she is a rich lady, she is not a weak woman. Thanks to her wealthy family and modern education, Chu Jiao can ride horses, dance, have sufficient nutrition, and her body is not strong, but she is very healthy.

In the distance, the sound of guns and cannons was heard, and that was - the Battle of Songhu began. Chu Jiao walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked into the distance.

Whether it is to change the past, or to punish the evil and promote the good, or to help the needy, or something else, this is the fate and task that God has arranged for him, and it is also his own salvation, Shen Chen is more and more sure of this in his heart.

Because he had felt this way, it seemed to be some kind of reward for being right, as if there was a constant rush of joy, and the mood would be as happy as a child, sweeping away his troubles and sorrows.

What is the end result? It is a promise of a bright afterlife, or an expectation that he will work hard to fulfill in his lifetime in this life.

Yes, salvation is not just about repenting of the sins he has committed, but about putting it into action, to uphold and show the justice and righteousness of the world, or in some way that he is not very clear about now.
