Genius Club.

Chapter 212 Welcome to the Genius Club

"I know."

Ji Xinshui nodded.

He is an expert in medicine, so of course he knows this kind of thing:

"In a lethal injection, the prisoner will be given three injections of drugs. The first injection is just a common anesthetic, which has no lethal effect; the second injection is a muscle relaxant, which will relax the prisoner's muscles and gradually stop breathing; the third injection is the main lethal drug, which is usually potassium chloride. An overdose can easily kill a person."

At this point, Ji Xinshui suddenly realized.

His expression became somewhat resistant and somewhat confused:
"You...you mean to let me accept the death penalty?"

Lin Xian nodded:
"Just like today, I have arranged everything for you. When the time comes to execute you by injection, we will replace the second and third shots with saline solution in advance. This way, you will only fall into a deep sleep during the first shot of anesthetic. The arranged forensic doctor will issue a death certificate for you, and after that... we will transport your 'corpse' out legitimately."

"In this way, you will die in the eyes of the law and the whole world, but you can be resurrected in the genius club and in the long river of history."

This is Lin Xian’s plan.

He wanted Ji Xinshui to accept the death penalty voluntarily.

And the bargaining chip he has... is this unique, though fake, invitation to the genius club.

What he was betting on was Ji Xinshui's desire and persistence.

If Ji Xinshui was a rational person, his plan would probably fail. Ji Xinshui would weigh the risks and would not dare to trust himself or take risks easily on the matter of the death penalty.

but.

If Ji Xinshui was a person of desire, obsession, and obsession, a person who was willing to [disown all relatives], [kill his favorite students], [use his subordinates as cannon fodder], and [trample on the lives of others at will] in order to join the Genius Club...

Lin Xian thinks.

This kind of person is likely to take the bait.

It is said that people die for money and birds die for food. Driven by huge enough interests, capitalists are even willing to take risks and sacrifice their own lives.

What’s more, what about the Genius Club to Ji Xinshui?
This is Lin Xian’s bet today.

in front of you.

Ji Xinshui was obviously a little hesitant.

He looked hesitant and whispered:

"I will be acquitted in a dozen hours... Then, perhaps I can arrange a more dignified and respectable fake death."

Lin Xian's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't say anything to persuade her.

He didn't know whether Ji Xinshui hesitated, doubted, or didn't care about faking his death, but cared more about whether the death was decent and dignified.

But anyway, I can't stay here any longer.

Too many words will be lost.

It's time for me to leave.

"Ji Xinshui, this is a test."

Lin Xian placed his right index and middle fingers on the invitation letter and pulled it back towards him:
"Of course you can choose to participate or not. But for us... we would rather have a trustworthy partner."

Lin Xian stood up, picked up the invitation letter, and waved the seal of the genius club towards Ji Xinshui:

"Goodbye, Ji Xinshui."

Lin Xian put the invitation letter into the file bag and walked towards the door of the interrogation room:

"I'll wait for you at the Genius Club."

boom.

The thick door of the interrogation room closed.

……

call.

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally I managed to get through it with just the bluff.

The outcome of this gamble depends on whether Ji Xinshui can overcome his own desires.

Walking through the corridor, Lin Xian returned to the interrogation monitoring room.

The staff, Chu Shanhe, and Officer Liu immediately surrounded him:
"How about it?"

"any progress?"

"What did he say? Did he change his mind?"

Lin Xian smiled and shook his head, pointing to the dark surveillance screen:
"Turn on all the surveillance cameras inside and see what he will do next."

The staff member turned around and operated a few times on the keyboard, and the camera in the monitoring room where Ji Xinshui was turned on again.

Lin Xian leaned in to observe.

It was discovered that Ji Xinshui had his eyes closed at this time, his face solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

I guess he must be very confused now.

On the one hand, this invitation to the genius club was indeed very tempting to him.

The Genius Club is so mysterious and hidden that it is already quite remarkable to be able to find out its name and prove its existence.

Not to mention, there is a stamp logo on Lin Xian’s invitation letter. The presence of this stamp directly greatly enhances the persuasiveness of this invitation letter.

And judging from Ji Xinshui’s performance just now.

He never doubted that the invitation letter from the Genius Club was fake.

Perhaps... the reason why he was so sure was because he had seen the real invitation letter, or he knew what the real invitation letter looked like.

Thinking about it this way...

Ji Xinshui knows a lot about the Genius Club. It is obvious that he has more intelligence and information than himself.

If I can really win this bet, there is indeed a certain element of luck.

tick.

tick.

tick.

The entire monitoring room was silent. The only sound in the room was the ticking second hand of the clock hanging on the wall.

Lin Xian's eyes were fixed on the surveillance screen, staring at Ji Xinshui who was handcuffed to the iron chair on the screen.

Time... passed like a year, and another three hours went by.

Ji Xinshui just kept frowning and thinking without any other movement.

Lin Xian did the same, just sitting here, looking at Ji Xinshui quietly.

What will he choose?
Should I stay for another 10 hours, be acquitted, and give up this chance to get an invitation to the Genius Club?
Or, for the sake of this invitation, would he believe what Lin Xian meant by "the last exam" and give up his life, status, and reputation to pledge allegiance to the Genius Club?
Lin Xian didn't know what Ji Xinshui would choose.

The main reason is that he doesn't know Ji Xinshui.

What kind of life does he have?
What kind of experience does he have?
What kind of persistence does he have and why is he willing to risk his life?
He doesn't understand.

But in this world, for many people, there are many things more important than life.

For example, Zheng Chenghe, whose sister suffers from congenital heart disease and whose parents were beaten to death in front of him. For example, Li Qiqi, who was looking forward to seeing the meteor shower and just wanted to make a wish for Liu Feng.

For example, Zhou Duanyun, who is full of lies and only wants to change his fate, but insists on sending a good night message to his mother every day.

Or maybe it was Li Ningning who risked death to steal a book;

Or maybe CC was willing to accompany him to sneak into New Donghai City alone;

Li Cheng, a great hero who serves his country and his people, and the big-faced cat who kills to avenge his daughter...

in this world.

There are too many people who have reasons to fight even at the cost of their lives.

So what about yourself?

Lin Xian began to analyze himself.

For myself...is there anything that I'm willing to do even at the risk of my life?
Lin Xian thought about it.

He found no.

There really isn't.

Now he doesn't think anything is more important than life.

but……

What's next?
What about the future?
"People are going to change."

He remembered what he had said to Zhao Yingjun.

"Lin Xian, you must do what you like, do what you are willing to stick to, do something not to prove something to others, but something you are willing to gamble your whole life on."

I also remembered what Zhao Yingjun said to me.

In the future...will there be something that you're willing to risk your life for?

suddenly.

On the surveillance screen in Ji Xinshui's detention room.

The old man who had been looking down for a long time finally raised his head and looked at the camera.

Everyone in the monitoring room held their breath for a moment!

"Let the interrogators in."

On the screen, Ji Xinshui's eyes were firm, and a genuine smile appeared on his face:
"I have something to confess."

……

at this time.

Ji Xinshui in the interrogation room seemed to have made up his mind.

He never feared death.

there has never been.

He is already 86 years old. At this age, no one would really fear death.

not to mention……

If it weren't for Copernicus, he would have died at the age of 56.

At the age of 56, he is still just an ordinary researcher in the Tunghai University Research Institute.

He was born in a war-torn era and when he was young he followed his parents on a black ship to seek refuge abroad.

Later, his parents died early, and he studied alone in poverty for half his life. He finally returned to China with his dreams, but he was frustrated and suffered exclusion in the research institute.

He is not good at interacting with others, does not know how to adapt, and has no knowledge of the ways of the world. His colleagues regard him as an alien and even speak ill of him several times.

When he was 56 years old and standing on the roof, ready to jump off to end this nightmarish life, he met Copernicus.

Copernicus from the Genius Club showed him the invitation he had been looking forward to for a lifetime.

His life changed from then on.

Copernicus was omnipotent and had great powers.

Soon, with the help of Copernicus, he invented a heavyweight patent, secured the position of dean of the Tunghai University Research Institute, and had countless multinational giants under his control, becoming rich enough to rival a country.

But he still loves the position of Dean of the Tunghai University Research Institute the most.

Even if he had endless money and was famous and renowned in the world.

But he still liked to sit in his office as the dean, drinking tea, looking at the students on campus, and looking at the tall building from which he almost jumped.

Ji Xinshui, 56 years old, did die under that tall building.

But the 56-year-old Ji Xinshui, who longed to join the Genius Club, was also born on the rooftop at that moment.

If he had not later parted ways with his favorite student Xu Yun in order to force him to change his mind, give up the hibernation chamber research, and come back to him... he would definitely not have resigned from the position of director of the research institute that he loved most in his heart.

One day, Copernicus told himself that he wanted to kill Xu Yun.

He is miserable.

But at the same time, he had no choice.

His life was given by Copernicus, his life was a gift from the Genius Club, and his greatest wish while carrying out Copernicus' orders was to be able to do the same as Copernicus...get an invitation to the Genius Club.

In fact, when Xu Yun was alive, he secretly visited Xu Yiyi many times.

He deliberately arranged Zheng Xiangyue's ward next to Xu Yiyi's.

But after Xu Yun passed away...

He never went there again.

He knew that since he had embarked on this path leading to the Genius Club, the Suns, and ultimate power and authority, he had to accept it all and be ready to give it up at any time.

And now, it is time for him to give up everything, disappear from reality, and become a piece of history.

Die and be reborn.

This is the last exam of the Genius Club.

86-year-old Ji Xinshui will "die" on the execution platform.

But 86-year-old Ji Xinshui will be reborn in the genius club.

He had already thought about everything that would happen after joining. He wanted to become a person like Copernicus, stand beside Copernicus, and look down on the whole world.

He had no fear of death, especially since it was just a fake death to fool the world.

The hesitation at that moment was just because he hoped that he could die with dignity, be buried with honor, and be praised by the world for the legend he left in the medical field.

But maybe…

Being willing to give up these things and become a purer existence in the long river of human history is the key to this final test.

The moment I realized this.

Ji Xinshui seemed to see a brilliant light shining before his eyes!

Copernicus stood in the light and applauded himself:
"Welcome to the Genius Club!"
