Chapter 313 Chu Anqing and 00:42
"That's not right either."

Lin Xian shook his head.

Strictly speaking, the world's richest man, Jask, is not the biggest beneficiary without any loss.

He did not directly participate in the battle for space-time particles, but that timely rocket must have been very expensive.

and.

The Starlink satellite project, which he had been planning for several years and cost tens of billions of dollars, was completely destroyed. The direct losses, indirect losses in stock prices, and subsequent related losses added together are probably several times more than tens of billions.

If the chain reaction caused by this incident continues to ferment, Jask’s position as the world’s richest man will inevitably be lost.

From an economic perspective, Jask is actually the person who suffered the most losses in this battle for space-time particles.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Jask was just sitting on the sidelines watching the fight between two tigers. In a sense, he was also a victim.

"not to mention……"

Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the bustling and lively night scene of the imperial capital in the distance:

"Moreover, all my current speculations are based on the premise that the dream world is real. If we consider the possibility that the dream world is fake, simulated, or a studio... then it is meaningless to speculate who is the mastermind behind this."

"So, the most urgent thing is to find a way to figure out the reality of the dream world as soon as possible. Only after clarifying this major premise can we continue to reason. Otherwise... if the premise is incorrect, it will be like a crooked foundation. The subsequent reasoning and construction will inevitably be crooked and wrong."

Think of this.

Lin Xian stretched out his right hand and pressed his chest.

In the pocket of this pajamas, there was a small note that Chu Anqing wrote for herself.

Through the thin pajamas, I could feel the small piece of paper folded together inside.

To date, no one has ever seen this little note.

Neither myself.

No one.

In the year 2024, no one knows what is above.

It is true, absolutely, there is no one.

Because Chu Anqing also disappeared, the only person who knew the content also disappeared, so, by accident, [a secret and code unknown to the whole world was born].

These days, Lin Xian carries this little note with him all the time.

Never dare to leave.

This is a piece of paper that I got in exchange for Chu Anqing's life...

If it were lost or seen by others, it would be a real shame for Chu Anqing's good intentions.

The other party also warned him seriously.

"When you get there, you'll understand."

At that time, Chu Anqing's eyes were very confident.

Lin Xian believed her.

Chu Anqing is a very simple and straightforward girl. She doesn't know what she doesn't know, and she won't pretend to know what she doesn't understand. Similarly...

If she is sure that something is possible, then there is a high probability that it is really possible and feasible.

What's more, the content on this small note was written by Chu Anqing after she touched the space-time particles, which must be related to her emotional collapse at that time and the suspected awakened memories.

In short.

This little piece of paper is enough to hide the whole world and deceive everyone.

It was he who broke through in the fourth dream...

Last hope!
"I'll put it in the hafnium safe at Thame Bank."

Lin Xian murmured softly.

Today, Wang's Tam Bank has officially started trial operation, and it was on March 3, his birthday, that the trial operation started.

Because he was training at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center that day, Lin Xian was unable to be there in person, but Brother Wang still sent him a lot of photos and short videos.

The trial operation scene seemed quite lively.

He originally thought that many people just wanted to try something new and might not be interested in this kind of "time and space pie" that is a time capsule.

But it turned out that he guessed wrong.

Anything, no matter what it is, as long as it is the first and only one in the world, seems to have no lack of attention.

The emergence of the Tam Bank is unique, novel, and precious in the world. It has been 600 years and is still thriving. The fact that it was able to rent more than a dozen airships to advertise its anniversary in the super future metropolis is enough to prove that this bank is still thriving even after six centuries.

Brother Wang also took photos of himself at the Tam Bank warehouse.

It was similar to what he saw in his first and second dreams, except that the area was a little bigger and there seemed to be a few more safes.

But the overall layout is still the same, with solid cement walls and hafnium alloy safes embedded in them one by one.

This scene really made Lin Xian nostalgic and sudden.

Brother Wang even took a photo of safe number 66 and showed it to Lin Xian.

The nameplate above is engraved with Lin Xian's name, waiting for him to open it and set a password that can never be changed.

Lin Xian originally planned to return to Donghai City immediately after getting off the space plane, put the small note in the safe, and then set a random password.

but.

Current situation.

How could he have the face to go back to the East China Sea...

He had to figure it all out before he could give Chu Shanhe an explanation.

……

Lift your head again.

The imperial capital at night is still as prosperous and beautiful as ever, with bright lights.

It is not much different from the neon night scene in Donghai, and even the Xidan area is more lively.

But all this excitement has nothing to do with Lin Xian.

He often recalled every moment he and Chu Anqing spent at Xidan Shopping Plaza.

That cup of succulent grape milk tea;
The claw machine that filled my arms;
The snack street filled with fireworks;
That quiet bar where "No Contact" is played.

Everything is just like this, it seems like yesterday, and yet it seems like a lifetime ago.

Lin Xian faced the sky.

Facing the moonlight.

Extend your right hand...

He clenched it and opened it again.

He obviously caught it.

Mingming grabbed Chu Anqing's hand.

He can't be wrong.

That was the touch of the hand. Even through the thick space suit, he could feel Chu Anqing holding his right hand tightly.

But just when he landed in my arms...

Just like that, he disappeared inexplicably. During this period, Lin Xian kept thinking about this question:
[Did Chu Anqing disappear at 00:42 because she touched the space-time particles? ]

Or……

[Her disappearance at 00:42 was already a foregone conclusion. Whether she touched the space-time particles or not, she couldn't stop the inevitability of this moment? ]

Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.

But the only thing that is certain is...

After touching the space-time particles, Chu Anqing knew in advance that she would disappear at 00:42.

This inference should be correct.

This is also the reason why Chu Anqing was determined to get out of the cabin and stand on the wing of the aerospace plane to capture space-time particles.

because.

she knows.

I am about to disappear.

Just ten minutes.

She no longer cherished her life and dared to do anything crazy.

At that time, Lin Xian did not realize that it was an established fact that Chu Anqing would disappear at 00:42.

It was not until Chu Anqing stood on the wing, sighed, and asked Huang Que what time it was that Lin Xian really felt something was wrong.

That tone.

That tone.

That kind of nonchalant calmness.

And, the blue stardust that finally fell to the ground made Lin Xian realize belatedly -

original.

Chu Anqing already knew the date of her death.

know.

She will eventually disappear, dissipate, and vanish at 2024:3 on March 28, 00.

That's why she dared to leave the cabin.

Only then dare to untie the safety rope,

Dare to jump on the wing of the space plane,

Only then did he dare to fall from a height of 20,000 meters, holding the rice cooker and ready to die.

"Hey……"

Lin Xian sighed.

This is the logic behind all this.

Judging from the result, it was just as Huang Que said. As a thousand-year-old stake, Chu Anqing was destined to disappear at 00:42, so there was really no need to save her.

Sooner or later, you will die. No matter what, you will die.

but.

For Lin Xian.

even so.

even so!

Even if he were asked to choose a thousand or ten thousand times, he would jump out of a plane at an altitude of 20,000 meters without hesitation.

This is stupid, irrational, and not cost-effective.

But he had also talked about this with Liu Feng.

Life is not a math problem. There is no correct answer.

If he was asked to choose the multiple-choice question of jumping out of the plane to save Chu Anqing ten thousand times, he would get the same option.

“Hmph!!!!!!!”

suddenly.

Gao Yang, who had been pausing for a long time, suddenly let out a loud squeal and sat up from the bed:

"Fuck...why do I feel so tight in my chest? I'm almost suffocating!"

He turned his head and looked at the open balcony window, the cold wind blowing in, and Lin Xian standing on the balcony in the moonlight:

"What the hell are you doing, brother? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're pretending to be a ghost to scare people! You almost scared me to death!"

Lin Xian came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Gao Yang:

"You'd better lose weight as soon as possible, otherwise... you might suffocate to death in your sleep from respiratory arrest before you die of fright."

"No... What time is it? Hurry back and go to bed! I was wondering why it's so cold, quickly close the balcony door. It's not even April yet, the capital is different from the East China Sea, it's very cold! Come back quickly... I won't feel at ease until you go to bed."

After saying that, Gao Yang turned over and started snoring again.

Lin Xian also looked at his watch and it was indeed getting late.

Besides...it was still very cold in the imperial capital at the end of March, and the climate was completely different from that of Donghai City.

"Go to bed first, and think about it tomorrow."

nowadays.

He had put aside all other concerns and focused on investigating the mystery of Chu Anqing's disappearance.

Mysteries abound.

We have to investigate them one by one.

The good news is that the reason why Chu Anqing disappeared is not particularly difficult to understand.

In the future world, we can refer to CC as a lesson.

In the real world, there is also a girl named Zhang Yuqian who looks exactly like her. We can trace her and even find her DNA by digging up the grave.

Compared to other mysteries, this one is the easiest to solve.

There are clues, ideas, and evidence.

Lin Xian was confident that he could figure out all of this so that he could give an explanation to Chu Shanhe and himself.

He yawned...

Enter the hotel suite.

Close the balcony door.

Lie back in bed, pull up the quilt, and close your eyes.

hope……

Tomorrow's investigation.

Hope all goes well.
