Genius Club.

Chapter 175 The Dead
Night, suburb of Wolfsburg, Germany.

Beep.

The width lights of a white Volkswagen sedan flashed, and there was a slight sound of doors and windows unlocking.

A bearded man in a white coat walked out of the laboratory, opened the door of a Volkswagen sedan, and drove towards the road in the dark.

There are no street lights on the entire road. All light comes from car lights and reflectors and signs erected on the roadside.

This is very common in sparsely populated countries where infrastructure coverage is not that high and it is unnecessary because there is little pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

The road is wide, long and straight.

The vehicle drove for a long time without encountering a second vehicle going in the same or opposite direction, and the bearded man had already become accustomed to this.

Firstly, he gets off work too late, and secondly, the roads in the suburbs are just like that. The population density of most European countries is very low and cannot be compared with those high-density cities in Yazhou.

Beep beep beep beep!!

Suddenly, the red fault light on the dashboard lit up, and the tire pressure detection showed that the tire pressure on the right rear wheel was dropping rapidly.

Is it leaking? Is it pierced by a nail?
The bearded man stopped the car by the roadside with the hazard lights on, got out, and turned on the flashing light on his cell phone to check the right rear tire.

It turned out to be a nail.

But that didn't bother him.

For men here, using a jack to change a spare tire is just a basic operation, just like a baby is born to suckle. In Wolfsburg, the city where Volkswagen is headquartered, women and children can change spare tires.

He went to the trunk and took out the small jack that came with the car, then walked to the right rear wheel and started assembling it.

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

In the dark night, a Hummer without lights on rushed towards us at high speed!

The bearded man was crushed between the two cars like a sandwich! Blood was splattered everywhere like a bursting water balloon! The bearded man's huge body seemed to fall apart, and was squeezed into a broken meat pie!

boom…………

The Hummer reversed and drove away at high speed, disappearing at the end of the road where there were no lights.

On the rooftop of the building next to them, an old man and a young boy watched all this silently.

Ji Xinshui raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch——

00: 42: 58
00: 42: 59
00: 43: 00
"Sure enough, it is easier to operate abroad." The old man's voice was dry. He didn't like the climate here. At his age, he should stay in a more humid place.

"Yes."

Ji Lin next to him replied calmly:
"Most foreign countries are sparsely populated, and thanks to everyone always shouting about privacy, cameras are far from being able to provide full coverage like in China, which saves us a lot of trouble."

"Besides, the police here are not so dedicated. They are easily dismissed... If I were asked to choose a place to retire when I am old, I would definitely choose Longguo."

Ji Xinshui put down his wrist, took two uncomfortable breaths, and looked at the only white Volkswagen left at the traffic accident site, its yellow warning lights flashing lonely and rhythmically:
"That's right... If you hadn't wanted to lure out Lin Xian, I really wouldn't have wanted to lure Tang Xin to Donghai to kill her. Two similar cases in the same city in such a short period of time would have been impossible to go unnoticed. But fortunately, you have entered the Donghai City Public Security Bureau and have taken control of the overall situation."

"But Lin Xian is too cautious."

Ji Lin shook his head:
"He didn't take the bait regarding Tang Xin, and he's clearly on guard. I think it's unlikely that we can find evidence of him disrupting history based on what's going on now."

"Didn't he attack Zhou Duanyun either?" Ji Xinshui asked.

"No."

Ji Lin said softly:

"Zhou Duanyun was originally a bait we released, but unfortunately Lin Xian did not take any action, and Zhou Duanyun is alive and well."

"I don't know what Lin Xian is thinking. Is it that he doesn't have the supernatural powers we imagined, or is he so cautious that he doesn't even dare to kill a small character like Zhou Duanyun?"

"It doesn't matter, just keep watching. Zhou Duanyun is a discarded pawn anyway." Ji Xinshui snorted coldly:
"I didn't kill him at the beginning, I kept him for this time."

"You are also cautious enough." Ji Lin turned his head and looked at Ji Xinshui:
"We have already caught him on the high seas. What's the big deal if you kill him? How can the Genius Club know such a trivial matter?"

"We can't take risks." The wrinkles and dark spots on Ji Xinshui's face were squeezed together, and his expression was very serious:
"The Genius Club does have abilities that we cannot imagine... They are so powerful that they even make me doubt the reality of this world."

"Arrogant, the [Dr. Poncemer] who was just killed was someone from the Genius Club. Your superior asked you to kill him, right?" Ji Lin asked again.

Facing Ji Lin's question, Ji Xinshui did not speak...

He had nothing to say.

Ji Lin is not a fool. Now that his superior is a member of the Genius Club, the fact that he has a master online is almost a clear secret in front of Ji Lin.

It's the same whether you admit it or not.

"Because this time the murder was the same as Tang Xin's. No evidence was needed. They just killed him. It's obvious that someone was behind this."

Ji Lin lowered his head and smiled:
"But Lin Xian is different... It's more like no one ordered you to kill him, but you found him on your own to seek credit and reward, just like an elementary school student who wants to show off in class. That's why you have to find ways to find evidence to prove that Lin Xian is disrupting history."

"So I thought about it. Arrogant, since there are only two of us, just tell me straight out, the test to join the Genius Club... is it to proactively find someone who disrupts history?"

Ji Xinshui shook his head:

"You've guessed wrong about this, Ji Lin. Stop trying to trick me. I'm just doing what I should do. You should also focus on finding evidence that Lin Xian is disrupting history."

"If we really accomplish this, you and I will naturally get the answer." "By the way...what is your plan for coming to Germany at this time? We will deal with all the research materials in Dr. Ponsmer's home as you said, and no one in the world will know about his secret research."

After listening, Ji Lin picked up the rolled-up document in his hand and opened it.

That is the relevant information about Dr. Ponsmer.

47 years old, unmarried, living alone, no children.

He is just an ordinary employee of a research institute, but he is doing some "weird" research at home.

The reason why he didn't do it in the laboratory was, firstly, because the laboratory didn't allow him to do such unorthodox research, and secondly, he didn't want to share his research results with the laboratory. He wanted to gain fame and fortune from this patent, so he had been doing research secretly for many years.

His research is quite weird in the current field——

【Room-temperature superconductor】

Generally speaking, only under ultra-low temperature conditions of more than 100 degrees below zero can superconductors simultaneously achieve the two independent properties of zero resistance and complete anti-magnetism.

Room-temperature superconductors are simply a fantasy.

but……

The new hafnium alloy developed by Xu Yun seemed to have made rapid progress in Dr. Ponsmer's research.

Neither Ji Lin nor Ji Xinshui could understand what the specific progress was.

Therefore, Ji Lin concluded more accurately that... Ji Xinshui must be online, and he was indeed working for one of the members of the Genius Club.

"I'm curious, Arrogant."

Ji Lin flipped through the complicated information in his hand:
"Since Dr. Ponsmer has been secretly researching these things in his own home, and no one in the world knows about it except him, how did the Genius Club know about it? And how did they know about it so promptly?"

"At a glance, Dr. Ponsmer's research, like Tang Xin's, is only in the initial and semi-finished stage and is still some distance away from completion. How does the Genius Club know this and how do they determine that they are definitely correct and will succeed?"

"This is their strength! This is the mystery of the Genius Club!"

Ji Xinshui's words were very sure, and his eyes were firm, flashing with a special kind of respect:
"【They have never missed a single opportunity, never failed once... There is no need to doubt this, Ji Lin. The fact that I have achieved such success and status today is the best proof of this.】"

"You are indeed a qualified riddle teller." Ji Lin chuckled:
"It's just these few sentences over and over again... But forget it, I have achieved the purpose of my visit this time. Remember to handle things more cleanly from now on. Never let anyone know about Dr. Ponsmer's research, and make sure to deal with all the materials and manuscripts related to room-temperature superconductors."

"That's no problem. We are professionals." Ji Xinshui smiled dryly.

"There is one more thing I need to confirm with you." Ji Lin looked at Ji Xinshui:
"Are you sure that we can sacrifice our own people without killing innocent people?"

"Yes."

Ji Xinshui nodded:

"Because they were already dead... Envy, greed, gluttony, rage, lust... They were already dead, but I saved their lives. Except for you, they are all just discarded pawns that can be abandoned at any time."

"Death is their destiny. The fact that they are still alive is a disruption to history. In essence, they are the same as Xu Yun and Tang Xin. It's just a matter of how much influence they have on the course of history."

"It was me who gave them a second life, it was me who gave them this brand new life... I know this better than anyone else."

Ji Lin didn't say anything and nodded.

This was not the first time he had seen Ji Xinshui's cruelty.

He didn't dare to kill anyone easily, simply because he was worried that it would affect his qualifications to join the Genius Club, so he was so honest.

But he was not wrong about one thing...

The other members of the organization were indeed supposed to be dead, and their current brilliant lives were all given to them by Ji Xinshui.

He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ji Xinshui:
"Arrogance... Have you forgotten yourself?"

"Hmm?" Ji Xinshui looked at Ji Lin in confusion.

"You used to be just a poor idiot in the Donghai University Research Institute..." Ji Lin smiled meaningfully:
"[Didn't the Genius Club also change your life?]"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ji Xinshui frowned.

"Didn't I make it obvious enough?"

Ji Lin looked at the Volkswagen car with its width lights flashing in the distance and continued:
"You changed their lives, history and future out of jealousy and greed...so you treated them as dead soldiers or lackeys who could be killed at any time."

"What about you? What are you to the Genius Club? Have you also been deceived by your superior or someone in the Genius Club? Are you also just a dog that can be discarded at any time?"

"I'm different from them!" Ji Xinshui said in a more serious tone:

"Are you trying to trick me again, Ji Lin? Save your energy."

"So... why not verify it together with Lin Xian's matter."

Ji Lin waved his hand and asked for a roll of investigation materials:
"Although I don't understand what Dr. Ponceau's research material is trying to express, my knowledge is still very broad. Do you know what the biggest change, most direct, and most subversive practical result will be if this [room-temperature superconductor] can be successfully developed?"

"What is it?" Ji Xinshui frowned and looked at Ji Lin.

Ji Lin chuckled and turned to look at the super factory in Wolfsburg that was working day and night:

"Controllable nuclear fusion!"
