Genius Club.

Chapter 211 Copernicus

Ji Xinshui opened his eyes wide and breathed rapidly.

He stared at the dark red invitation on the table in front of him in disbelief!

This……

This dark red cardboard,

This wax seal with a pattern on it,

This is the genuine [Genius Club Invitation]!
In his entire life, he had only seen the invitation letter from the Genius Club once.

Just one glance.

But it was that one glance that made it linger in my mind for a lifetime and is still vivid in my memory!
Especially the logo of the Genius Club on the wax block... a right hand with the index finger extended and pointing straight to the sky. This pattern shocked him at the time. He truly felt the power of this mysterious club, the power that despised everything!

This pattern has been the deepest secret in his heart for so many years.

No one said that.

Even though Ji Lin tried every means to get the name of the Genius Club out of him, he had no idea of ​​the existence of this logo.

He himself had never dared to draw this pattern that he had only seen once. He had always kept it deep in his heart, dreaming about it every night. It was his eternal yearning.

He never expected...

Nowadays.

I saw this seal again in the most incredible place!
I saw this picture——

The dream -

Invitation to the Genius Club!

This is the second time I’ve seen this invitation in my life…

He is extremely convinced!
This is real! This is the real invitation!

Ji Xinshui raised his head excitedly.

His pupils trembled, his face was excited, and he looked at Lin Xian incoherently:

"Yes...it was Copernicus who asked you to come...Yes, everything Copernicus said was right! I, I succeeded! I passed!"

?

Copernicus?
At this moment, Lin Xian kept smiling as usual, but in his heart he felt strange and familiar with this strange name that he suddenly heard.

Copernicus.

Is it the great astronomer Copernicus in history books?

Lin Xian was pondering over this name in his heart.

It is so well-known, yet so distant and unreal.

Nicolaus Copernicus.

He was a famous Polish astronomer and mathematician during the European Renaissance.

He is the originator of the great heliocentric theory and an undisputed scientific genius in human history.

Unfortunately……

His knowledge and cognition were far ahead of their time. Until his death, believers who firmly believed in geocentrism controlled the entire society. No one believed in the heliocentric theory, which was too advanced, and they were even classified as pagans.

Therefore, in his later years, Copernicus died in depression with his heliocentric theory, which did not cause any sensation.

Until 20 years after his death.

Another famous scientist, Galileo, was the one who carefully announced Copernicus' heliocentric theory to the world.

but……

The light did not come because of this.

Still no one believed in the heliocentric theory, and Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment in his later years.

Until a long, long time later...

The popes finally acknowledged the correctness of the heliocentric theory and overturned the verdict of Galileo hundreds of years ago.

This kind of thing sounds quite fantastic now.

But in fact, before the eighteenth century, there were so many similar things that they were not uncommon.

The greatest tragedy of human civilization is when genius transcends their times.

Countless great scientists and pioneers who should have shone like pearls were persecuted or died just because they put forward advanced hypotheses in that stubborn and uncivilized era.

but……

Lin Xian's thoughts quickly returned from his textbook memories.

The story of Copernicus and the heliocentric theory is familiar to every student who has received compulsory education.

But the most critical issue now is...

Why did the name Copernicus suddenly come out of Ji Xinshui's mouth?

Who exactly is this Copernicus he is referring to?

It can't be Nicolaus Copernicus, who has been dead for more than five hundred years, right?
That's really bullshit...

It can already be said to be a supernatural ghost story.

However, I can think about this matter in detail later.

At least for now, my plan has been successful.

After seeing the invitation letter, Ji Xinshui was so excited that he was incoherent, which proved that the forged invitation letter had successfully deceived Ji Xinshui and made him take the bait.

This is Lin Xian's plan...

As long as you don't open the invitation letter and read its contents, this fake invitation letter will be no different from the real one.

Huang Que is a member of the Genius Club, so she naturally has a real invitation letter. Wouldn't it be as easy to forge it as copy and paste?
Anything produced by Huangque must be of high quality.

Lin Xian looked at Ji Xinshui with a smile.

Now that the other party has taken the bait and fallen into the trap... we can then proceed with the next plan with confidence.

……

While Lin Xian was thinking briefly, Ji Xinshui stared at the seal of the Genius Club with wide eyes, and the English words of the Genius Club printed on it... His expression changed several times, and at this moment, his eyes were still filled with tears:

"I understand, I understand... This is indeed a test! An exam!"

He raised his head, changing his previous attitude, and looked at Lin Xian with eyes full of respect and awe:

"[You are the final test question! You are also the final examiner!]"

Now Ji Xinshui has completely figured it out!
Genius Club.

This is his lifelong pursuit and dream!

From the moment he first met Copernicus, he had always dreamed of becoming like him.

did not expect……

This moment has finally come!
The person who sent him the invitation was the person he least expected to disrupt history!
This dramatic plot is so genius!

This is a test for him, to see if he can take the initiative to find the person who disrupted history and find enough evidence.

The examiners of the Genius Club are even more personally involved in the game, so that they can truly feel every action they take and give themselves a score.

It’s so genius, this way of taking the exam is really so genius!
That's right...

No wonder the young man opposite can disrupt history!

No wonder he can know the future!

No wonder he could always see through his and Ji Lin’s tricks so easily!

Because he is a member of the genius club!

For them who are omnipotent... everything is too easy!

For an instant.

Ji Xinshui was suddenly enlightened.

Including why this seemingly ordinary young man could make the police turn off all surveillance equipment with just a snap of his fingers and make the police so cooperative.

Because he is not an ordinary person at all.

He is a member of the genius club!

So he can do anything!

Copernicus and his men could even control time, space, and destiny, let alone a small East China Sea Police Station? It would be a piece of cake!
Seeing the young man in front of him just smiling without saying a word, Ji Xinshui was a little nervous and began to introduce himself:

"You, you must be a member of the Genius Club, right? Copernicus is my introducer... Oh no, no, sorry, I'm really too excited. You must know this."

"Thank you, thank you for sending me the invitation... Although I didn't expect to receive an invitation in this place, I now understand that all of this is a test set for me by the club! I can finally... finally join the Genius Club like Copernicus and you!"

"Sorry, I'm a little incoherent." Ji Xinshui realized that he was too excited and lost his composure.

He hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. His whole body stopped shaking, but his voice still trembled as he looked at Lin Xian:

"Excuse me...how should I address you?"

He still had a hard time controlling his excitement. He was eager to know the other party's name, the name of the person who was about to lead him into the organization!

……

Lin Xian looked at the excited old man in front of him.

Although I don’t know what kind of intense dialectic was going on in his heart.

But now it seems that the other party has obviously completed his self-strategy and given himself the status of examiner of the Genius Club.

So, how should we answer this question about the title he asked?

Lin Xian was also thinking in his heart.

Too many words will be lost.

He didn't understand what Ji Xinshui meant by asking this question.

He clearly knew that my name was Lin Xian and knew all my information.

But under this premise, he still asked himself what his "name" should be.

That means...

There is a difference between "title" and "name".

Just like the Copernicus he mentioned just now, it should be just a name, code name, nickname or something like that, right?
So what should I call myself? What should I answer?

Lin Xian didn’t know.

Not sure either.

and so……

It’s better to find a way to avoid the problem.

He didn't know how much Ji Xinshui knew about the Genius Club.

Obviously, Ji Xinshui had met members of the Genius Club, at least one of them.

So does he know the "names" of the other members?

It's hard to say.

Therefore, you cannot risk answering at this time.

Now that Ji Xinshui has finally taken the bait, if I say the wrong thing or say something uncertain that arouses his suspicion, all my efforts will be wasted.

"You will naturally know these things after you officially join the Genius Club."

Lin Xian maintained a confident smile and brushed the question off.

At this moment, he really wanted to ask Ji Xinshui a lot of information about the Genius Club.

but……

The risk is too great to ask at all.

Ji Xinshui is now convinced that he is a member of the Genius Club. If he continues to ask some idiotic questions, he will be 100% exposed.

Therefore, let's quickly implement the [Plan] that was made at the beginning.

"but."

Lin Xian changed the subject and looked at Ji Xinshui:
"Your exams are not over yet. Next up is your final exam to join the Genius Club."

Lin Xian pretended to be mysterious, folded his arms, and began to tell the truth:
"Ji Xinshui, do you know why the Genius Club could be so mysteriously hidden in the long river of history without leaving a trace?"

"I don't know, please advise me." Ji Xinshui said seriously, sitting straight.

"That's because... the members of the Genius Club are history themselves. They have already merged themselves into history and separated themselves from the real world. Naturally, they will not leave any trace behind."

Lin Xian looked into Ji Xinshui's eyes:

"As long as they are alive, they will leave traces in history. But the dead are different... The dead will not attract attention, and will not leave any real traces in this world. Naturally, they can hide themselves and the organization in the long river of history and pluck the strings of the future."

The long river of history...

Dial the future...

Ji Xinshui felt his blood boiling when he heard these words.

The word "disrupting history" was actually told to him by Copernicus.

He has been puzzled for many years...why these things that have not happened yet should be called the future, but Copernicus and others talk about history all the time.

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to ask.

The tone of voice of the young man in front of him was exactly the same as that of Copernicus!
It was also all kinds of history, history... Now Ji Xinshui also understood that the future that had not yet happened in their eyes... was already fixed history in the eyes of the members of the Genius Club!
Amazing……

This feeling is so magical and great.

This is the ultimate power and authority he has always pursued! The ultimate control over fate and time and space!
He didn't doubt what Lin Xian said at all.

because.

The omnipotent genius club should be above time, space and fate. This is exactly what he has always guessed!
He leaned forward and looked at Lin Xian expectantly:

"Then please tell me...what should I do?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

Seeing that the other party still took the bait and had no doubts, he continued to push the plan forward.

Moreover, Lin Xian discovered it unexpectedly.

Whenever he mentioned the word "history", Ji Xinshui's expression became particularly excited.

This also surprised him...

Shouldn’t most people care more about the future?

But there is no need to analyze these now. Since he likes to hear the word "history" and these two words are so convincing to him, let's continue to play along.

Lin Xian looked at Ji Xinshui and began to tell lies:
"Your last test is to disappear from reality, completely hide your existence, and make yourself a piece of history unknown to others."

"You mean..."

Ji Xinshui opened his eyes wide:
"Do I need to fake my own death in reality? Make my existence disappear from the world?"

"Yes."

Lin Xian was quite surprised. How could Ji Xinshui be so understanding? He immediately understood what he meant by beating around the bush.

Could it be... that he was mentally prepared?

Or have you heard something similar before?
Could it be that I was exposed?
Lin Xian stopped talking and prepared to see Ji Xinshui's reaction next.

The information he had now was too little... He had already used up all his energy just by bluffing.

You have to walk on thin ice and move carefully at every step. If you are not careful, Ji Xinshui will see through your flaws.

and so.

Now that something is obviously wrong, let’s first hear what Ji Xinshui thinks about the “faked death” issue.

This is just something I made up.

It was his plan to force Ji Xinshui to reveal the evidence of his crime and kill him.

In particular, the old man must be made to face death willingly, otherwise Lin Xian would not feel comfortable letting him go, and sooner or later he would react and stab him in the back.

At this time, Ji Xinshui...

The brain is racing.

I thought of Copernicus, whom I had always regarded as a god.

suspended animation.

So that’s it!
All my previous doubts have been answered!
It turns out that the key lies in this fake death hidden in the dust!

No wonder.

Over the years, he and Ji Lin tried every possible way to investigate for so long, but they could not find any trace of the existence of the Genius Club.

It turns out that they have long been separated from reality, their real existence has long been erased from the real world, and they themselves have long become history.

In the real world, fake death.

In the Genius Club, resurrection.

In fact, the person who is alive is still the same person, just with a different identity.

Ji Xinshui's breathing gradually stabilized, and he looked up at Lin Xian:

"So please tell me... what should I do? What would be considered a qualified fake death?"

Lin Xian appeared unmoved on the surface, but he felt relieved on the inside.

Fortunately.

The fact that Ji Xinshui could ask this question meant that his plan had not been exposed. Then... the next step would be simple.

He chuckled:
"Ji Xinshui, your current situation is a great opportunity to fake your death and come back to life."

Lin Xian raised his head:
"The current method of execution in Longguo is drug injection. Do you know...how many injections are needed?"
