My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 51 - 50: Trinity of Three

Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Trinity of Three

In this update, apart from a so-called "gene deletion recombination virus" illustration that Meng Lang couldn’t understand, there was, as usual, an accompanying photo.

Meng Lang, dressed in a suit and polished shoes, stood at the entrance of a company, with the logo "Changqing Biological" behind him.

"After so many collections, I finally look a bit like a successful person, although it’s just a brief moment of glory..."

Closing the book, Meng Lang calmly put it back into his pocket.

Excited? Why should I be excited?

I wasn’t excited when I lived for three months, so why would I be excited after living for 20 years?

More surprising to him was... the fact that the title of this book was actually very serious.

"Apocalypse," that was the title of this book and the codename that "myself" had given to this "autobiography" in this volume.

He also referred to the contents of the book as "divine revelations"... Hmm, it does have an air of mysticism at the very edge of science.

Alzheimer’s disease...

Unresolved even in 2038? Truly I am beset by disasters.

Meng Lang cursed inwardly, but his face remained impassive.

After all, compared to the previous agonizing deaths, this ending of gradually forgetting the whole world... could also be considered a sort of euthanasia, right?

Of course, for those around him, it would undoubtedly be a torturous ordeal.

Speaking of which, I have a sister-in-law now?

This last piece of relationship information carries a lot of weight...

A piece of information naturally surfaced in Meng Lang’s mind.

Alzheimer’s disease.

A progressive neurodegenerative disease that starts inconspicuously and develops progressively.

Clinically characterized by comprehensive dementia symptoms such as memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, impairment of visuospatial skills, executive function disorder, as well as personality and behavioral changes, its cause remains unknown to this day.

Medically, those who are diagnosed with the disease before 65 are referred to as having early-onset dementia, while those diagnosed after 65 are referred to as having late-onset dementia, with the youngest recorded patient being only 36 years old.

In 1901, German neuropathologist Aloys Alzheimer followed up for several years on a 50-year-old woman who had succumbed to senile dementia, and subsequently identified related symptoms.

Ever since, this dreadful disease has been named after Alzheimer.

However, 117 years have passed, and humanity’s understanding of the causes and treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease is still very limited.

To date, there is no treatment that can stop or reverse the progression of the disease; only a few drugs are considered to be able to temporarily alleviate or improve the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

"Are you forcing me into the medical field?"

First gastric cancer, then Alzheimer’s disease, one more difficult to deal with than the other.

Meng Lang realized that all of humanity couldn’t bear the burden of this sickly person. If I want to die peacefully, I must save myself!

In the "Apocalypse," "myself" seemed to be hinting as well. If you want a stable end, euthanasia is the best outcome; if you want to break free from fate, you can’t simply lie down and accept it.

If you don’t go mad, you won’t survive!

"Big brother... thanks, pal!"

The life plan advice that "myself" had summarized over 20 years was undoubtedly sensible.

Although human vaccines and animal vaccines belong to two medical areas with quite significant professional differences, there are also quite a few companies in the country that are tackling both research paths simultaneously, with strong relevance.

For Meng Lang, this indeed serves as a stepping stone.

The biggest benefit is that the application and approval process for animal vaccine experiments are not as strict as those for human vaccines. Even if one is not a top biological technology company, there is still eligibility to enter the field.

For someone with limited financial strength like me, buying shares only gives me dividends, but entering the board of directors would allow me to influence company decisions and leverage my "advanced technological information advantage."

And the "Changqing Biological" mentioned in the book...

Meng Lang took out his phone and searched for the company, and then he was stunned.

Because it turned out to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xu Group!

Meng Lang was somewhat bewildered.

Did I just miss it? What in the world do I have to do with it...

Wait a minute!

Xu Group... divorce case...

It seems I saw before that in the "optimal version" of the divorce case, the Xu family reached an out-of-court settlement with the shares of a pharmaceutical company as compensation?

Could this pharmaceutical company be "Changqing Biological"?

Are you suggesting I snatch food from the jaws of this divorce case?

Meng Lang stroked his chin.

It seems not impossible...

But this matter is not urgent, he then thought of another key issue.

This volume’s update confirmed a previous speculation of his.

It was as if each episode’s Meng Lang suddenly lost the ability to predict the future, continuing his development along the trajectory of an ordinary person’s life.

Even though he clearly realized that he was just a "tool person."

From the current situation, the most likely conclusion is that the "autobiography" had vanished from their lives the moment it updated...

And this episode’s "himself" was actually unwilling to let it go and wanted to explore its mysteries, and even... wanted to find it back!

This was like a character in a movie suddenly wanting to crawl out of the screen to look for the remote control, filled with montage-like absurdity.

Although he failed, he left behind a series of conjectures in the end.

The Journey to the West? River Map and Luo Book? How did it even get connected with the Bible?

Could it be that you mean Tang Seng survived ninety-nine, eighty-one difficulties because he saw this "true scripture" and evaded eighty-one times?

Um...

This inexplicable sense of déjà vu... Should be an illusion, right?

As for the legend of the River Map and Luo Book, Meng Lang was quite familiar with it.

Because he had taken an elective "Myths of Ancient Country Hua" in college.

It wasn’t the type of elective where you flirt with your girlfriend in the back row while binge-watching dramas, but one he had taken seriously with a genuine interest in broadening his horizons.

And it really had nothing to do with whether or not he had a girlfriend.

The River Map and the Luo Book are said to be two mysterious patterns passed down from ancient times in Country Hua, containing profound cosmological and astrological truths, and are known as the "cosmic Rubik’s cube," the origin of Chinese Culture and the skill of the Yin Yang Five Elements.

The Zhou Yi’s "Xici Shang" states, "Thus, when Heaven breeds sacred things, the sage imitates them; as the transformations of Heaven and Earth are changeable, the sage takes them as models; Heaven reveals auspicious and ominous signs, the sage follows them; the Yellow River gives out the ’Map,’ the Luo River produces the ’Book,’ and the sage takes them as standards."

Here, the river refers to the Yellow River, and Luo denotes the Luo River.

Legend has it that during the time of Ancient Fu Xi, a Dragon Horse bearing the River Map appeared from the Yellow River in the territory of Mengjin County to the northeast of Luoyang and presented it to Fu Xi.

Fu Xi then based this to develop the Eight Diagrams, which later became a source for the Zhou Yi.

Similarly, it is said that during the time of Yu, a divine turtle emerged from the Luo River in Sheraton Hotel in the west of Luoyang carrying the Luo Book, which was presented to Yu.

Yu successfully managed the waters based on this and then divided the land into Nine provinces, further establishing great laws to govern society, becoming a Saint of the era.

The phrase "the Saint takes them as standards" means that sagacious people study signs and omens to deduce a series of theoretical things.

"Hmm... come to think of it, it seems like there was no written language back then, it was the Ancient Times when they used knotted ropes for record-keeping, if I were illiterate..."

Meng Lang began to let his thoughts wander.

If he were unable to read, what would this so-called "Apocalypse" look like?

A comic strip? A series of connected drawings? Or some sort of concrete expression of all things in heaven and earth?

The thought processes of the ancients...

His thoughts becoming somewhat knotted, Meng Lang gave up thinking in resignation.

He studied Chinese, not archaeology, and he guessed that probably no archaeologist could successfully emulate it anyway.

As for the last mentioned book, the Bible...

In college, someone had tried to preach to him on campus. Although he didn’t convert in the end, out of curiosity, he still learned some doctrines from Christianity, the most widely spread religion in the world.

To his knowledge, the fundamental doctrine of Christianity is the Trinity.

It states that God is essentially one, yet manifests as the Holy Father, the Holy Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

God is only one being, but in terms of personhood, is divided into Holy Father, Holy Son, and Holy Spirit.

God creates the world, God saves humanity through Jesus Christ, God resides with Christians and the church through the Holy Spirit.

The doctrine of the Trinity asserts that these three elements belong to the same God.

It doesn’t mean one god created the world, another performed salvation, and a third resides with Christians and the church, but that the same god did these three most important things throughout consistent history.

In Matthew and Second Corinthians, the church believes this to be a "revelation" of "mystery," not comprehensible by reason, but accepted by faith.

Meng Lang opened his phone again and searched for information related to the Bible.

Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

In Hebrew, the word "God" (Elohim) is plural, and it features a pronoun "us."

Matthew 28:19, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Here, "in the name of XX" is singular, with different persons sharing one name.

John 10:30, Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," Jesus and the Father are one God, different persons.

First Corinthians 12:4-6, "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work."

The text placed together the Holy Spirit, Holy Son, and Holy Father all alongside each other.

"Hmm..."

Meng Lang was somewhat at a loss for words.

"It must be some kind of coincidence... right?"
