Genius Club.

Chapter 231 Hero
Lin Xian still couldn't figure out what the phrase "The mirror has what you want" meant.

Because generally speaking.

The mirror itself is just a flat structure that reflects light. As long as the surface of the object is smooth enough, copper, iron, plastic, ice, and even water can become a mirror.

In modern society, the most commonly used mirror is glass mirror, which is cheap and practical. Every household cannot do without mirrors, whether in the bathroom, in the closet, or even on the hostess's dressing table.

Lin Xian looks in the mirror many times every day, intentionally or unintentionally.

He didn't think there was anything special about looking in the mirror every time.

Besides...

In terms of the structure and physical principles of the mirror, "inside the mirror" itself is a non-existent concept.

A mirror is just a mirror, a thin layer of glass, there is nothing inside it.

Everything people see through a mirror is just an "illusion" caused by the mirror reflecting light onto the human retina and does not exist.

Perhaps a three-dimensional mirror in the room and the mirror inside the elevator will make the space appear wider, but that is just an optical illusion of the human eye. In fact, the space has not expanded by even one centimeter.

Therefore, it is impossible for anything to exist in the mirror. Isn't the riddle about the yellow bird a grammatical error?

therefore……

Under comprehensive.

Lin Xian felt that the mirror Huang Que mentioned was most likely the mirror in his dream.

And what he wanted should be the clues or secrets that Zhao Yingjun had painstakingly left for him in the third dream.

This way, it seems more reasonable.

Lin Xian had no doubt that Huang Que knew about his dream. This was already clear when they first met.

Huang Que knows so much about herself that she even gives people a feeling that she knows herself better than herself. She even knows that she peeked at the invitation letter of the Genius Club and summarized the laws of time and space. There is no reason for her not to know that she can dream about the future.

In fact, Lin Xian was still wary of Huang Que in many things and did not regard her as a reliable friend.

But at the moment, it seems that she has no bad intentions, nor does she do anything to hurt herself. Instead, she often uses inexplicable and unfathomable riddles to give herself clues... Although it's annoying, this information is given to me for free anyway, so I might as well not waste it.

at the moment.

Since there are no other clues, let’s go explore the Rhine Sky City in the dream.

"If it is true as Huang Que said, that what Zhao Yingjun left for me 600 years later is in the mirror, then the most likely place for this mirror is Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall in the Rhine Museum."

After the last exploration of Rhine Sky City, it is enough to see that Zhao Yingjun holds a very high status in the hearts of the residents of Sky City.

Not only was a memorial park built for her, statues were erected, and horns and flying were banned; a personal exhibition hall was also set up for her in the Rhine Museum, which shows how much respect everyone has for her.

Perhaps, this is exactly what Zhao Yingjun is aiming for.

Only if everyone respects and loves her enough can we ensure that her statue and personal exhibition hall will remain for 600 years, leaving herself a gift across the long river of time, a gift... that may change the future, change the world, and change destiny.

"From this perspective, the task after entering the dream at night is very difficult."

Lin Xian was thinking.

First of all, the museum is definitely closed at night, so if you want to enter, you can only find a way to sneak in.

The museum’s structure, security, and even whether it has walls are all unknown.

It is indeed a bit lonely and powerless to go out in a city by yourself.

He thought of the Face Gang in the past.

Although these people are not very smart, they are obedient and have strong execution ability. The shock that the combined skills of the human ladder art brought to Lin Xian is still vivid in his mind.

"In short, there is strength in numbers, so let's find a way to mobilize them."

……

At night, after entering the dream, Lin Xian ran without stopping directly towards the place where the lights of the crowd gathered in the distance.

"Brother Face."

At this time, the helium balloon that Big Face Cat was riding was still inflating, and he hadn't changed into his handmade space suit yet. Lin Xian went straight over and patted him on the shoulder to say hello to him.

"Gah?"

The big-faced cat raised his head in confusion, his face full of fat:
"Who are you!"

Lin Xian followed the previous script and spoke a lot, but what was different from the previous one was that Lin Xian told Big Face Cat directly at the end of the explanation:

"I know the exact location of the gap in the air defense network."

Big Face Cat's expression changed.

Sure enough, this sentence worked better than anything else, and the crowd around gathered around instantly.

Lin Xian told Big Face Cat and the others that the gap in the air defense network was right above the statue in the square.

However, the statue could not be seen at all from an altitude of 1 meters. Even if one strained one's eyes, the statue, which was tens of meters high, was no bigger than a sesame seed and could not be seen clearly.

However, I can lead the way and take them to jump into the gap in the air defense net.

Although Lin Xian only successfully entered once.

But he has found his own visual reference, and is 70% to 80% sure that he can locate the gap. Even if he makes a mistake, it doesn't matter... he can try again tomorrow.

Lin Xian also told them a lot about things in Rhine Sky City. There were indeed drugs for treating radiation sickness in the pharmacy, and the security in the city was very loose, almost non-existent. There were also too many fancy things in Sky City, so no one would notice their existence at all, making the mission easy and enjoyable to carry out.

"So... I can take you in and you just need to glide with me. In return, you only need to accompany me to the museum once. Just cooperate with me to go in and look at an exhibition hall. After that, I will go with you to find medicine and then jump off from the sky city and return."

Lin Xian thought the communication would go smoothly.

but……

After hearing this, Big Face Cat looked up at A Zhuang, Er Zhu Zi, and San Pang, glanced at the villagers who were looking expectant but numb, and shook his head:
"I can go with you, but they can't. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... I can't let everyone take this risk."

He raised his finger and looked around:
"Look, there are only a few men left around here. If the four of us follow you and end up getting wiped out...what will the rest of the villagers do?"

"If we don't get the medicine, we really have no future. But if all the men die, there won't even be a coach left to teach everyone how to parachute. How are the remaining women going to complete the tasks we haven't completed?"

Lin Xian looked at the big-faced cat.

Unexpectedly, in the third dream, his thinking and pattern had grown to such a big boss level.

This is probably also a man's sense of responsibility in the face of crisis.

Perhaps after Li Cheng died early and the older men died one after another, even the wild and rude Big-Faced Cat would have to take on the responsibility of being the leader and become the backbone of this group of people.

Lin Xian had noticed before that Big Face Cat’s wife, as well as his daughter and son, were not among the crowd around him.

Every time he boarded a hot air balloon and set out on a journey of no return, he was always a lonely figure, and no one gave him a hug before he left.

Lin Xian opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't ask the question.

In fact, the answer is very clear.

In a world ravaged by radiation sickness, since Big Face Cat's father died young due to illness, it is likely that his sister-in-law, the daughter who quarreled with Big Face Cat, and the son of Small Face Cat have also passed away.

During this period of time, Lin Xian experienced too many deaths and separations in reality.

He truly experienced the sadness of losing loved ones and friends.

Therefore, I did not ask Big Face Cat this obvious question, so as not to add to his sadness.

"Brother, I'm going too."

At this time, A Zhuang stood out from the crowd:

"According to today's plan, if you fail, it will be my turn. I think what this guy said is very likely true, so I'm willing to take a chance."

The big-faced cat nodded and patted A Zhuang on the shoulder:

"alright."

Then he turned his head and looked at Erzhuzi and Sanpang:

"You two should not go. If we don't come back, we will leave the people here to you... You should teach the women to skydive and raise the children. When your mission is over... come find us in the sky."

After saying that, the big-faced cat looked at Lin Xian:

"How about this? The two of us will go with you."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Okay, the more people the better, but I understand your situation, so two is fine."

suddenly.

A graceful figure squeezed out of the crowd and raised her calloused hands high:

"Since there aren't enough people, I'll go too!"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on this girl who looked much more mature than her actual age.

Li Ningning.

"no!"

The big-faced cat said sternly:
"It's not your turn anyway! When men die, we still have women, and when women die, we still have children older than you. Besides, your parents are dead in heaven... You have to leave roots for the Li family."

"Why can't I go? I've wanted to go for a long time! I've been practicing skydiving techniques, so I'll be fine."

"This isn't a good thing, so you can go if you want?"

The big-faced cat said unhappily:

"Boss Li was the first person to skydive into Sky City. Before he left, he specifically asked me to take good care of you. And your mother is the second one... Your family has already sacrificed too much for this. How could I let you go!"

Big Face Cat's words also made the people around him agree.

Li Cheng.

All of them owed Li Cheng too much. From the earliest relocation, to fighting radiation sickness, to the final desperate parachute jump to Sky City, it was Li Cheng who led everyone and led them to fight for their destiny and future.

When humanity finally has no hope of defeating radiation sickness.

Li Cheng suggested that since the source of radiation was in the Sky City, the people in the Sky City should also be infected with radiation sickness. Their technology is so advanced that they must have had treatment drugs long ago.

So... if we want to save the people on the surface, we have to parachute through the defenses of Sky City! Go in and grab the medicine and send it down!
When this crazy plan was proposed, everyone felt that it was impossible to achieve and was tantamount to committing suicide.

And Li Cheng... is willing to be the first person to die.

Everyone witnessed him rising to an altitude of 1 meters in a hot air balloon, then witnessed him gliding down towards the sky city, and finally witnessed him turning into a ball of fire in the laser.

At that time, Li Ningning was just one year old and had just learned to walk on the ground. He was watching the fireworks flashing across the sky and didn’t know that he had lost his father.

Li Cheng's instant evaporation further increased everyone's fear of Rhine Sky City, and they dared not act rashly or approach it.

At this time...

Li Ningning's mother, who had not yet finished breastfeeding, and Li Cheng's wife stood up:

"If 10,000 meters is not enough, then we should start jumping from 20,000 meters. If we don't jump, we will have no future. Radiation sickness will not disappear on its own, and our sores will not heal on their own."

"If I have to choose between watching my family and children die from radiation sickness and dying in the lasers of Sky City for medicine... I would rather die in the lasers than watch my children die without being saved."

Her hands were shaking when she hugged Li Ningning for the last time.

Everyone knew that she was reluctant to leave, everyone knew that she was scared, and everyone knew that she didn't want to abandon her adorable daughter who had just learned to walk.

but……

She knows better than anyone.

If she doesn't jump this time, no one else will ever jump.

Her husband died in vain.

Everyone on the surface is doomed.

Even if it wasn't her daughter who got radiation sickness today, what about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?

As long as they don't get the medicine to treat radiation sickness, they are doomed to have no future, and their fate of destruction is only a matter of time.

At that time, everyone advised her not to go, saying that it would just add another ball of fire in the sky and it was meaningless.

But she did not look back.

After saying goodbye with a smile to Li Ningning, who didn't understand parting, she put on the astronaut helmet and tears began to flow.

The person who put the helmet on her was Big Face Cat.

These tears dripped onto his hands, and only he knew it.

"Don't tell Ningning..."

The woman's voice trembled as she whispered:
"Her father wasn't scared and her mother wasn't crying."

that moment.

The big-faced cat cried.

He swore in his heart that he would take care of Li Ningning like his own daughter, protecting her and helping her grow up.

and!

[I will never let Li Ningning skydive, and I will never let him die in the sky! ]

Boss Li left, and the boss’s wife also left.

Then him.

Big face cat.

From now on, he is the boss of the East China Sea and he has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting this area.

The big-faced cat cut the cable of the hot air balloon, wiped away tears with his back to the crowd, and picked up Li Ningning who was laughing and applauding:

"Ningning, your father and mother... are both heroes."

……

Everyone looked at the sky, holding back their grief.

They are very clear.

It is impossible to break into the Sky City. No matter how many people try to go up, they will eventually be transformed into a ball of fire in the laser like Li Cheng.

however!
This time!
A miracle happened!!

As everyone stared in amazement, Li Ningning's mother jumped from a height of 2 meters!

Unscathed!

No lasers whatsoever!
Break through directly from the northwest direction of Rhine Sky City!

Everyone can see it clearly!
She opened her parachute at an altitude of 4000 meters! Landed safely!
original……

original!

There really is a gap in the air defense network above the Sky City!
It can really break through!

later.

Even though Li Ningning's mother did not come back, nothing was thrown down from the Sky City.

There's a high probability... that she died in the Sky City.

But she was blessed by a miracle and gave everyone hope.

Since then, men from the surrounding villages gathered together and began to practice gliding and parachuting.

Keep going!

Falling from high altitude!

Break out of Sky City!
only……

The miracle did not happen again.

After Li Ningning's mother, no one has been able to successfully find that gap and break through the air defense network.

All the men around here died in the sky.

Only four people were left: Big Face Cat, A Zhuang, Er Zhuzi and San Pang.

and so.

Big-Faced Cat would not allow Li Ningning to skydive.

This was his promise and oath to Li Cheng and his wife. He must protect this little girl who always made him worry.

"Why!!"

Li Ningning yelled.

She felt very wronged.

Over the years, she has been secretly practicing skydiving, and her skills are much better than many men!

She was never afraid of death.

She was only afraid that she would die miserably in the torture of radiation sickness and in a life of mediocrity!
If Lin Xian hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have said anything more. Everyone would just take turns parachuting in order, and it would eventually be her turn.

but.

Now Lin Xian told everyone that he knew the exact gap and was willing to fly in front to lead everyone in.

He is not afraid of death! How can this news be false?
Lin Xian said that the more people the better, as there is strength in numbers; since no one trusts him and is unwilling to go with him, wouldn't it be better for him to go by himself?
Believe in him yourself!
I am willing to believe him!
Although it may not succeed this time, the more people there are, the greater the probability of success, right?
Perhaps this opportunity only comes once.

If you miss it, you’ll never have it again!

"Why can't I go?"

Li Ningning looked at Erzhuzi and Sanpang with tears in her eyes:

"If you don't let me go, then go by yourself! You're not going anyway, so why are you stopping me from going?"

"Because you are Li Cheng's daughter!!"

The big-faced cat glared at Li Ningning fiercely:
"Do you understand? Because you are Li Cheng's daughter! We already owe your parents too much! So you just can't go!"

Say it.

The big-faced cat put on his helmet and pulled Lin Xian towards the helium balloon:
"Come on, I'll take you to get dressed."

however.

Hey!
Li Ningning took a big step forward and grabbed the big-faced cat's space suit.

Amid the puzzled faces of the hundreds of onlookers, Li Ningning gritted her teeth and said:

"If that's the reason, then I have to go!"

"you--"

The big-faced cat reached out to hit her!
But Li Ningning was fearless, just like Li Cheng who had gone against the flow alone.

She swept her right hand over the people around her, young and old:
"Every woman here, which one is not someone's wife? Which one is not someone's daughter?"

"My parents are dead, but their parents are not dead? It is precisely because I am Li Cheng's daughter that I must go!"

Li Ningning looked up at the big-faced cat with a determined look:
"If Li Cheng's daughter doesn't go... why should other people's daughters go!"
