Chapter 241 Flying to the East China Sea
Hey.

Lin Xian sighed lightly and brought the bunch of wrinkled artificial flowers to his chest. Just like he had done 600 years ago, he pinched the wrinkled tin foil with his fingers and flattened them one by one to make this bouquet that spanned time more neat.

Just like the unusual birthday gift on the night of Zhao Yingjun’s 24th birthday.

She said she would remember it for a long time.

But I didn’t expect... this time would last for 600 years.

This is 600.

It is the time span from the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty to the present year 2023.

For me, it was nothing more than yawning at night and lying down on the bed, and these 600 years flew by in the blink of an eye.

But for Zhao Yingjun.

During these 600 years, she did not miss a single second, and survived them bit by bit, minute by minute.

That kind of loneliness is indescribable.

Lin Xian closed his eyes and recalled the look in Zhao Yingjun's eyes when he first slept in the hibernation cabin.

How does it feel to hibernate for ten years and then wake up for half a year to look at this strange and lonely world?

From the slides in the projection corridor just now, it can be seen that when the first generation of hibernation chambers is put into use in 2026, side effects such as becoming mentally retarded, mentally handicapped, and brain atrophy should have been solved by the drugs developed by Tang Xin.

However, the side effect of [memory loss] that Xu Yun mentioned at the beginning seems to be unavoidable.

It is for this reason that Zhao Yingjun does not want to forget the past and the memories of the past, so he chooses a plan that has more disadvantages than advantages, to hibernate for ten years and then wake up.

The constant hibernation and awakening puts a huge strain and damage on the body.

Even if the memory can be preserved, the physical condition will inevitably get worse and worse, and perhaps a lot of pain will be endured in the process.

Lin Xian didn't understand and wasn't clear.

He didn't know whether the reason why Zhao Yingjun didn't want him to see her old was related to the damage this way of hibernation would cause to the body.

and so……

He held the bouquet tightly.

No matter how he failed in this future, no matter how Zhao Yingjun spent these 600 years of lonely life.

[He is determined to make this future a history that does not exist.]

I must find what she left for me.

Then... change it all!
Looking back at everything in this exhibition hall, Lin Xian felt that the answer to the mirror puzzle that Huang Que mentioned should not be here.

From the perspective of space-time logic, it is indeed impossible for the yellow bird to be Zhao Yingjun.

Because Zhao Yingjun had already died in the future, everyone in the entire Rhine Sky City witnessed her death and her ashes being scattered in the wind that blew across the world.

Therefore, Huang Que could not be Zhao Yingjun who traveled from the future.

Besides, Zhao Yingjun had died more than once.

As early as the future of the second dream, Zhao Yingjun died in an accidental shooting. Before that, Huang Que had already appeared in reality and delivered the fake invitation letter of the genius club to the front desk of MX Company.

This is not in line with the logic of time and space.

Since Zhao Yingjun did die in the future, then where did Huang Que travel from?
Anyway, no matter what, these two people may really just be similar in temperament, but actually have no relationship at all——

The oriole is the oriole, and Zhao Yingjun is Zhao Yingjun.

Just like the relationship between CC and Chu Anqing.

Think of this.

Lin Xian couldn't help but think of CC again.

When he and Big Face Cat A Zhuang were preparing to take off on a helium balloon today, he also asked the two about Tam Bank and the hafnium alloy safe.

The two men were completely unaware of the situation and said they had never heard of such a bank.

This also made Lin Xian very distressed.

There is no such bank in Rhine Sky City and there is no such bank on the surface of the world. So where did this Taim Bank go?
If Tam Bank cannot be found, then where is CC in this world?

Lin Xian didn't mean that he had to meet CC.

It’s just that CC’s presence feels like a sense of security, an anchor, and an indispensable partner to him.

If I can't find her in this dream...

What about the next dream?

What about the next dream?

Will she become more and more distant from me, until I can never find her again?
At this moment, Lin Xian truly realized how huge this world is.

He couldn't find CC at all.

unless……

You have to find Tam Bank first.

Where is the problem?

Was it because of the great changes in the world that Tam Bank went bankrupt early due to poor management and disappeared into the dust of history?

Or……

Because the changes in time and space were too drastic this time, the Tam Bank, which was supposed to be established in the second half of 2023, was not established and completely disappeared from history?

What is the reason?
"Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey!"

Below me, the trash can robot VV was circling around itself in annoyance, its mechanical clamps constantly poking at its knees:

"Just tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense! I've aroused my curiosity and you're just standing here pretending to be dead!"

"What?" Lin Xian looked down at it.

Swish.

The trash can robot VV stretched out its claws and pointed at the fake rose bouquet in Lin Xian's hand:

"You just said that there is not no trace of you here at all. What do you mean?"

"Ah, this."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and raised the bouquet in his hand:
"This bouquet of flowers was left for me by Zhao Yingjun."

"Ah——————" the trash can robot made a disdainful sound:

"Are you too narcissistic?"

"Believe it or not." Lin Xian was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"But... there are indeed many things on this car that are inexplicable." The garbage can robot turned its tracks and drove to the front wheels.

Then he raised the mechanical clip and pointed at the beautiful words written on the front windshield:

"Ms. Zhao Yingjun wrote on the glass that this is the first car in human history that can fly in the sky... But in fact, this is impossible and unrealistic."

"Because this antique car uses an old internal combustion engine, and the energy it uses is also fossil fuels that have long been eliminated. At the same time, it also does not have any flying device drive facilities, so... this antique car can only be driven on the ground. It is impossible for it to fly in the sky."

"But because of Ms. Zhao Yingjun's high status in Rhine Sky City and because she really liked this car, no one thought that she would lie about such an obvious thing. Therefore, all historians and critics still can't figure out... why did she say that this car can fly in the sky?"

Ha ha.

Lin Xian chuckled:
"Want to know?"

The trash can robot VV nodded.

"Then please send me a car." Lin Xian said.

He believed that this would be a piece of cake for VV. Although VV called himself the King of the Rhine for the sake of playing medieval games, in fact, he was the King of the Rhine. The entire Rhine City, from the nuclear fusion engine to the sweeping robot, was all controlled by him and he was omnipotent.

however……

The trash can robot VV tilted its head, obviously not understanding what Lin Xian meant:
"What kind of car do you want?"

“The fastest car.”

Lin Xian stroked the Bentley Continental GT that once flew over the Donghai Viaduct:

"Give me a... the fastest car in the entire Rhine Sky City."

……

Huhhhhhhh! ! ! !
The sound of the cold wind flew past my ears.

A purple convertible sports car was speeding between the tall buildings, so fast that an afterimage almost appeared in the sight!
The trash can tied to the passenger seat by the seat belt held up a mechanical clamp:

"It turns out that sitting in the passenger seat feels so good. No wonder Zhao Yingjun likes sitting in the passenger seat the most! But... is it okay for you to drive so fast? If you really hit something, I don't care, but you might be killed."

"It's not that easy for me to die."

The dashboard showed that the car's flying speed had reached a terrifying 400 kilometers per hour, which was one-third of the speed of sound!

And this is not a professional race track, it is in the intricate city sky!

Even though VV had ordered all the automatic intelligent vehicles in the sky to make way for Lin Xian, those towering buildings could not be moved away after all.

Lin Xian, on the other hand, leaned his elbows on the car door frame, supporting his cheek, looking very relaxed.

He first pulled the steering wheel, letting the convertible fly to the highest point of Rhine Sky City, and found the square where the statue of Zhao Yingjun was located.

Then, I found the roof of a skyscraper, which was flat and wide.

Bang!

With a violent shock, this high-end convertible car hit the roof, and then Lin Xian stepped on the accelerator to the bottom! Accelerating violently! The chassis of the car rubbed against the roof and the ground, and violent sparks burst out, but the speedometer kept moving to the right and the speed continued to increase!

"Um... this car has no ground driving function. There are no wheels underneath."

The trash can robot turned its head and kindly reminded:
"And the button you just pressed turned off all automated programs and the flight function."

"Yes."

Lin Xian disagreed. He held the steering wheel and aimed at the square where the statue of Zhao Yingjun was located in the distance:

"Otherwise, how can we call it flying?"

Whoosh————————

The sports car with a red chassis flew out from the side of the skyscraper and flew towards the memorial square and Zhao Yingjun at a free fall.

The trash can robot was too slippery all over, it was just a pure cylinder. When the seat belt lost friction, half of its body was thrown out.

Bang.

Lin Xian freed his right hand to press on its crown, and pressed it hard on the passenger seat of the vehicle that was descending in a parabola:
“That’s how that Bentley flew 600 years ago.”

“No wonder the interior of that car was in such a mess…and this way of flying can’t even be considered the first in history,” VV complained.

Just like that beautiful moonlit night.

This flying car, which had lost its power, slid across the sky, across the moonlight, and into the Rhine Memorial Square under the most primitive inertia.

The moment we entered the no-fly zone, the entire instrument panel went dark.

But in an instant, the light came on again. Naturally, VV had lifted the no-fly restriction on the car. The vehicle was able to activate the flight mode in time in the last few dozen meters before landing, and stopped on the platform where the statue of Zhao Yingjun was located with a beautiful drift.

Lin Xian carried the trash can robot out of the car.

The two men came to the white jade statue, each holding a bucket, and looked up at this highly respected great woman.

Lin Xian looked at Zhao Yingjun's face at this moment, which was exactly the same as her appearance in the last photo whose face could be seen in the projection corridor.

More than thirty years old.

She is much more mature than when she was at MX Company, but still beautiful and cool.

"VV, none of Zhao Yingjun's old photos remain. You also helped her delete them, right?"

"Yes."

The trash can robot VV replied:

"I can guarantee that you won't be able to find any photos of Zhao Yingjun in his later years anywhere in the entire Rhine Sky City. But due to the limitations of the underlying code, I can't leave Rhine City, nor can I interfere with or control any information from the outside world."

"So...if you want to find photos of Zhao Yingjun in his later years, you should be able to find them in other sky cities."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"She has always been like this. In my mind, Zhao Yingjun will always be young and proud... She can't lose these. If she loses these, she will not be Zhao Yingjun anymore."

"You seem to have said something that is difficult to understand." VV also raised his head and stared at the dozens of meters high white jade statue with Lin Xian.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Today's statue... seems to have a little more tenderness and a little more comfort than the solemnity of the past.

Lin Xian searched around the statue and every corner, but still found nothing related to the mirror, nor any other clues.

Now he basically determined that he must have guessed wrong about the [mirror puzzle] about the yellow bird, and it should have nothing to do with his dream and Zhao Yingjun.

We can only wait until we return to the real world and look for other clues.

at the moment……

There was only one thing left to do.

"VV, I'm in Rhine Sky City. I have the highest authority, right?"

"Yes."

The trash can robot's eyes flash green:
"Although calling you the King of the Rhine is a joke, it's almost true. I will obey all your orders."

"That's good."

Lin Xian chuckled and turned around.

He crossed his arms and looked at the night sky that the statue of Zhao Yingjun was looking at, and the dots of light that were constantly gathering on the ground:

"[Shut down all the more than 6000 nuclear fusion engines under the Sky City.]"

"Turn it off?"

The trash can robot's eyes flash faster:

"If you want to lower the Sky City back to the ground... I actually have a cooler way! How about we blow up those nuclear fusion engines? I've been wanting to try that for a long time!"

"Let me have some fun! I love this art of explosions falling from the sky! Only your orders can allow me to do this... Don't worry, I will properly control the rhythm and speed to ensure that the Sky City lands smoothly and safely, and there will be absolutely no casualties!"

"Okay, whatever you want."

Lin Xian walked to the edge of the platform and looked down at the place where they started, where more and more white spots were gathering.

I guess the residents on the surface saw the three of them land safely and told each other that more and more people gathered, waiting for a miracle to happen...

"I once promised Li Ningning that I would blow up a city for her. But unfortunately, I broke my promise last time."

"But this is a good opportunity. It should be even more beautiful when more than 6000 nuclear fusion engines explode, right?"

Lin Xian turned around and looked at the trash can robot with a smile:

"Let's set off the world's biggest fireworks for that little girl!"
