Chapter 452: Secrets of past lives, final ranking [1 more] Chapter 452: Secrets of past lives, final ranking [1 more] Irina would never forget that na in this life, no, in two lifetis.
For her, that na was a constant reminder of her failure and humiliation.
Indeed, just as the rumors outside suggested, with the help of hypnosis, she rembered her past life’s mories.
When journalists ca to interview her, she didn’t hide anything and straightforwardly told others about it.
After all, speaking out such things, nobody would believe them anyway.
Even Irina herself found it hard to believe at first, but later she accepted it with ecstatic joy.
How many people could be like her?
However, Irina did lie about so things.
She was not a scientist.
Because in the history of O-continent, there was no record of her na, and she was not recognized by the scientific community of the ti.
In her last life, she died at the age of twenty-eight.
The 17th century, 1639.
She died in prison; before her death, she was bruised all over and hadn’t eaten for several days.
It could be said that she was starved to death.
Irina was extrely resentful.
In terms of intelligence, she certainly did not lose to Gwen Brown.
Even if she fell a little short, it didn’t amount to much.
But as Simon Brand’s apprentice, he never saw her worth; he only imparted everything to Gwen Brown.
Irina couldn’t accept this differential treatnt.
It’s just that Gwen Brown herself was not showy and had no intention of entering the scientific community.
She took part in many of Simon Brand’s experintal projects but didn’t get any credit or seek any honors.
Still, Irina harbored deep hatred for Simon Brand.
If he had let her be involved in the experint projects, she could have had a place in the scientific community and achieved unparalleled brilliance.
But no, he didn’t.
Simon Brand did not allow her to participate in core research.
In that era on the O-continent, although technology was rapidly developing and people’s thoughts were becoming liberated, so residual dregs had not been entirely eradicated.
Besides wars, there were also plagues and other disasters.
But none of these could compare to that dark period in history.
It was a persecution that lasted three centuries, sweeping across the entire O-continent for three hundred years.
It didn’t officially stop until 1780.
The witch trials, historically known as the “Witch Hunts”.
Those who were persecuted were far more than just the real fortune tellers.
Many more were innocent won.
Any woman labeled as a “witch”, without any need for evidence, had to be beheaded publicly imdiately, followed by the burning of her body,
The number of wronged souls was beyond calculation.
Of course, Irina did not know that fortune tellers existed in this world.
Her accomplishnts in science, though significant, still made her part of the ordinary populace.
Alchemy, astrology, and such things would not be revealed to her.
Unless, she could have entered Norton University at that ti.
But back then, Norton University was not open to the public, nor did it enroll students, and most people didn’t even know such a university existed.
Because of her hatred for Simon Brand, Irina accused his wife of being a witch to The Church.
Coincidentally, at that ti, a plague had just occurred in the city, killing many people and leaving many as refugees.
Simon Brand’s wife was an ordinary woman who knew nothing about academia.
But she was kind-hearted, personally making porridge and pastries to relieve the refugees in the city.
So Irina spread rumors that the plague was brought about by Simon Brand’s wife.
At that ti, The Church held great power, and just like that, an innocent woman was publicly burnt to death.
After this, Simon Brand suffered a great blow and left the city, returning to the small town where he once lived.
Irina was elated.
She had learned a lot of knowledge anyway, and she could go to another country to pursue further studies.
Eventually, glory would be upon her.
But she herself did not manage to get away unscathed.
Gwen Brown, who had disappeared for a year, suddenly returned and had her thrown into prison.
The prison didn’t belong to The Church, nor any royal household; Irina had never seen such a place.
She was tortured there and died a miserable death in the end.
When she was conscious again, she found herself in a world three hundred years later.
It was an era of rapid technological developnt; many things that were once conceived by scientists had beco reality.
Irina knew her opportunity had co.
She wanted to stand on the world’s stage and let Simon Brand know that his past choices were wrong.
But she hadn’t anticipated that she would fail yet again, and fail so thoroughly.
“You are her! You must be her!” Irina’s face twisted with emotion, “If you weren’t her, how could you be so familiar with Simon’s manuscript diagram?”
“Interesting.” Ying Zijin lifted her eyes, her tone indifferent, “I just visited the O continent’s museum the day before yesterday, and Simon’s manuscript is on display in gallery one.”
She now knew who Irina was.
A traitor from under Simon Brand’s wing.
The very person responsible for her master’s wife’s death.
And the one she had personally sent to prison.
If it hadn’t been for her prompt return from the Ancient Martial World of Hua Country, Simon Brand would have eventually lost his sanity.
Genius and madness often lie just a mont apart.
She really hadn’t expected that a session of hypnosis would awaken this traitor.
Ying Zijin’s eyes grew slightly colder.
She now had reason to suspect that this was a preditated act of hypnosis.
There’s a demon whenever sothing is out of the ordinary, one must not overlook any irregularities.
Only until now, they still hadn’t found out who the hypnotist was that had perford the hypnosis on Irina.
None of the hypnotists on the NOK hypnotist ranking matched the description.
Indeed, so Hidden World Hunters are highly capable, but they’re not on the list.
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: “Hmm, I can testify; I accompanied her.”
Those around them looked more surprised, whispering among themselves.
“Has she gone mad?”
“Isn’t this just a zero score? This prodigy’s psychological resilience is too weak.”
“I am a staunch fan of Simon Brand; he never had the disciple you’re talking about.”
Disciples of Simon Brand are also historically renowned scientists.
That is his greatness.
“Of course you wouldn’t know!” Irina scread, her face turning red as she started stomping her feet, “Because she’s low-profile, and Simon respects her, so he never writes her na down!”
This is preferential treatnt.
Without leaving a na, she beca a disgrace, but I beca a mystery.
“You’re here for revenge, aren’t you?” Irina beca more agitated, “Why do you always want to destroy my honor, why?!”
Ying Zijin didn’t say a word, only looking at her with chill, indifferent eyes.
“You still dare look at like this? You dare? I—” Irina’s voice trailed off as she could not bear the strain on her mind; her eyes rolled back, and she suddenly fainted.
The onlookers stepped back hastily, fearing they might get involved in the fiasco.
The commotion caused the security to advance, whether they wanted to or not.
A few guards helped the unconscious Irina up and then took her out of the corridor.
The head of the security ca forward, very apologetic: “Miss Ying, I am sorry for causing you disturbance and inconvenience.”
Ying Zijin adjusted the suit jacket that Fu Yunshen had placed over her shoulders, her voice calm: “It’s nothing.”
“Leave the professional matters to the professionals,” Fu Yunshen said lightly, “Xuesheng will take care of everything. Yaoyao, go rest first.”
Hypnosis can awaken mory as much as it can erase it.
To put it plainly, Irina got better because of the hypnosis.
As soon as Yu Xuesheng lifts her hypnosis, she will revert to her forr self, no longer a prodigy.
This punishnt is far worse than sending her to prison again.
Ying Zijin nodded: “Let’s go.”

Inside the venue.
It was ti for the judges to give their final scores.
Except for Irina’s team, representatives from various countries and regions were all very excited.
Zuo Li was also sowhat nervous, loosening his tie a bit.
The team competition was fine, but because the individual competition format was sowhat complex, calculating the overall score was also quite difficult.
Because of Ying Zijin’s maneuver, Zuo Li’s mind was filled with the words “aweso”, not bothering to calculate his own score.
Beside Zuo Li, the professor from Helga University had a very unpleasant expression.
Forget Hua Country; he hadn’t even paid attention to the competitors from M and F countries.
These students were never a match for Irina.
But now, not only had they lost the competition, but they had also lost their integrity.
At that mont, a cell phone suddenly rang.
“What? Irina’s been sent to the hospital?” The professor just listened to a sentence and his expression changed, “Okay, I’m on my way, have the psychiatry and neurology doctors check her first.”
After speaking, he couldn’t wait for the final rankings to be announced and hurriedly left.
Zuo Li scoffed: “Trash.”
He was too indifferent to bicker with these people, his eyes fixed on the large screen.
“The score has been jointly tallied by a total of twenty-four judges,” announced the host standing on the podium, “Out of a possible one hundred points, please look.”
The big screen ca to life, and the final scores soon appeared.
