Charlie nodded and said “Then think about it, you met those militants at that time and then you were shot and fell to the ground. Although I moved quickly at the time, it still took me two or three minutes to deal with those militants. So half of your window period has passed! In this case, even if I had a freezer at hand and I could easily put you in, it would take a lot of time for your brain to cool down from more than 30 degrees Celsius to below freezing point. For a long time, when your brain is frozen, let alone five minutes, fifteen minutes may have passed; not to mention, this freezing center is more than 100 kilometers away from New York City and even a helicopter would take half an hour to get here. So, even if you were able to be sent over to freeze at the first time, you would still be able to get here and you would have been brain-dead, how could you still have your current consciousness?”
With Charlie’s words, Jack fell into a trance all of a sudden. He found that his two previous assumptions were somewhat contradictory at this moment. First of all, if everything is real now, it cannot explain how he can survive being shot full of holes. Secondly, if everything is just his own consciousness it cannot be explained, how could his brain be in that state and survive this situation. After all, when the body loses its ability to supply blood, the brain will only last for five minutes at most. According to the situation at that time, it is impossible for him to keep his consciousness. Since he can’t keep his consciousness, what is going on now?
Seeing his contemplative look, Charlie said lightly, “I’ll tell you how you survived.”
Charlie paused slightly and said, “After you were shot that day, it was me who used my way. This way, it will keep your brain from dying, so you could be brought here to freeze smoothly.”
Jack couldn’t help but ask “Your way? What way?”
Charlie snorted “What is the specific way, there’s no need for you to know.”
Jack asked again “Then how should I explain my injury? Even if you can save my brain, what about my body?”
