Chapter 452: Secrets of past lives, final ranking [1 more]

Irina would never forget that name in this life, no, in two lifetimes.

For her, that name was a constant reminder of her failure and humiliation.

Indeed, just as the rumors outside suggested, with the help of hypnosis, she remembered her past life’s memories.

When journalists came 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 some things.

She was not a scientist.

Because in the history of O-continent, there was no record of her name, and she was not recognized by the scientific community of the time.

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 extremely 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 treatment.

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 experimental 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 experiment 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, some 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 women.

Any woman labeled as a “witch”, without any need for evidence, had to be beheaded publicly immediately, 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 accomplishments 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 time.

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 time, 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 time, 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 development; many things that were once conceived by scientists had become reality.

Irina knew her opportunity had come.
