Genius Club.

Chapter 340 Zheng Xiangyue's Boat Ticket

Chapter 344 Zheng Xiangyue's Boat Ticket
really.

It’s “no way to tell” again.

Lin Xian snorted softly.

Since there is no decisive denial... then it is likely that Yu Xi's time travel is related to the Genius Club.

But it is impossible to guess what the relationship is. This relationship can be positive or negative.

The current situation is confusing.

Lin Xian felt that the vortex of mystery around him was getting bigger and bigger... He had to break through it as soon as possible!

"Then I'll go to bed first."

Lin Xian closed his eyes and told Yu Xi:
"If you get tired of driving, wake me up."

"it is good."

Yu Xi's answer was short and powerful.

"Has that time-space assassin caught up with us again?" Lin Xian opened his eyes again.

Yu Xi shook her head:
"She's still hanging around in Princeton. Don't worry, even though there are many mysteries surrounding her, she's still just a human being with flesh and blood."

"She can't fly, nor can she withstand bullets. Plus, I can sense her location. She's not as scary as you think. Go to sleep. I'll wake you up if anything happens."

Lin Xian nodded.

Only by getting a good rest can you prepare for a better battle tomorrow.

He looked down at his watch.

It is now 01:23 in the morning US time, which is equivalent to 13:23 noon Dragon country time.

If you fall asleep at this time, you will definitely fall asleep.

But once I fall asleep, no one from the outside can wake me up unless it is 00:42 Dragon Country time or I die in the dream.

But the current situation does not allow me to fall asleep.

If he really encountered any danger, Yu Xi would not be able to wake himself up even if he shouted or hit himself, and he might lose his life.

and so……

I have to think of a way to die quickly, wake up once, and then continue sleeping.

The fourth dream is different from other dreams. There are not so many opportunities to commit suicide.

His range of movement is very small, and once he misses the initial opportunity, he will be electrocuted into a coma, and enter a state where both reality and dreams are disconnected... which is comparable to real death.

The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

Gradually……

Lin Xian fell asleep.

……

call……

The familiar summer breeze and the familiar noise.

Lin Xian opened his eyes quickly.

As always, dozens of soldiers surrounded him, and a dozen balloons and airships with advertisements of Tam Bank printed on them were hovering in the sky above his head.

All the soldiers nervously raised their rifles, released the safety, and faced the young man who suddenly appeared like a magic trick.

The soldier dressed as a captain was about to step forward...

"hehe."

Lin Xian chuckled and rushed towards the target he had chosen -

A soldier who is not very skilled in gun operation and is a step slower than everyone else.

He rushed directly to the muzzle of the gun, pointed it at his forehead, stretched out his right hand and pulled the trigger hard!

Bang!
A gunshot rang out, shaking his head, and Lin Xian’s eyes went dark.

……

Teng!
Lin Xian jumped up from the passenger seat of the car with a bang.

Heart rate soared, breathing heavily.

Yu Xi looked over with doubt:
"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?"

Lin Xian calmed his breathing and looked at Yu Xi.

It seems.

This time traveler who traveled back from the future to the present to protect himself did not know the secret of his own dreams.

This is probably the ironclad evidence that she really didn't know Huang Que.

Huang Que knew everything about him, including but not limited to his ability to travel through time and space in dreams.

But looking at Yu Xi...

He seemed to know nothing about what happened in his dream.

Yeah.

Lin Xian himself had no intention of sharing this matter, his most precious secret.

"A little bit."

Lin Xian said casually.

Then he turned over and continued to sleep.

Once death "pops out" in a dream, there will be no more dreams until the next dream cycle.

Now I can sleep peacefully.

A dreamless night.

……

I woke up the next day, almost noon.

Yu Xi was still driving in the same posture, not showing any sign of tiredness.

Lin Xian yawned and sat up.

I stood up the flat chair and looked out.

Sure enough, it was flat.

The highway in front of me is incredibly straight, leading to the horizon without any turns. No wonder so many people say that you can lock the steering wheel and sleep while driving on the highway in the United States.

"Let me drive instead."

Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi:

"Get some sleep and eat something. When you wake up, we'll be almost in Texas."

Yu Xi didn't hesitate and stopped the car directly.

Then he swapped seats with Lin Xian, letting Lin Xian sit in the front seat while he went to the back seat to take a nap:

"That time-space assassin is probably still in Princeton and didn't follow us. Because we are far away from her now, my perception has become blurred and I don't know her approximate location."

"But don't worry. Even when I'm sleeping, I can feel the distance between the Spacetime Assassin and us. Once he gets close, I will wake up immediately."

After saying that, Yu Xi closed her eyes and began to sleep.

Lin Xian turned down the volume of the radio so as not to disturb Yu Xi's sleep.

He leaned his left elbow on the car window frame, supporting his chin, and held the steering wheel with his right hand, which he didn't need to control at all... He looked through the rearview mirror at Yu Xi who was sleeping quietly in the back seat.

Only then did he remember that he had never cared about anything about Yu Xi.

How old is she? Teenagers?
What kind of life do you live? What kind of life do you have?
Are you an only child? Are your parents still alive?

After completing this protection mission...can we go back?

Even in that future age, drug enhancement and gene editing can make everyone smart, beautiful, and powerful.

But that's just in terms of physical fitness and appearance.

Real skills and knowledge can only be mastered through practice and learning.

Yu Xi looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, or maybe even younger.

At such a young age, he has such superb vehicle driving skills and can also use a pistol. Not only can he withstand the strong recoil, but his shooting skills are also very accurate.

It is hard to imagine how many years of her past decade have been devoted to agent training.

Clang.

The old sedan, with its inferior shock absorbers, drove over a railway track that crossed the road, and once again lifted up and down Lin Xian and Yu Xi who was sleeping in the back seat.

The girl in the rearview mirror rubbed her eyes in her sleep.

Changed posture.

Turned over.

He turned his back to Lin Xian and continued to sleep.

……

After the two arrived in Cameron County, Texas, they did not go to the address given by Angelica immediately, but found a hotel to rest for a night.

The next morning, they arrived at a suburban villa complex as arranged by Angelica.

One of the villas was the residence of Jask's female secretary. Angelica said she had already taken care of everything and asked Lin Xian to go directly into the house to find her.

"I won't go in. I'll stay outside."

Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian getting off the car and said:
"I can feel that the space-time assassin has started to move. She is approaching this side very quickly... I guess she saw that we have been here for a long time without moving, so she chased after us directly."

"Help me get a gun. If there's a chance during a close-range fight, I can use it to finish her off. As long as there's no one else around, I'll still dare to use a gun so that the missed bullets don't trigger the mandatory avoidance rule."

Lin Xian nodded and closed the car door:

"Then you stay outside the villa. I've told Angelica that she will prepare two pistols for us. I'll go see her first."

After saying that, Lin Xian walked to the front of the villa and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

soon.

Angelica, in her baggy pajamas, opened the door.

She was not wearing any makeup, her eyes looked a little tired, and her seaweed-like hair was casually tied behind her head.

"Where is that female secretary?" Lin Xian asked.

"Asleep." Angelica replied calmly.

Lin Xian felt inexplicably funny:

"How can she sleep so well?"

Angelica raised her eyebrows:

"This time... I used some special methods. I guarantee that she won't wake up until night."

"Come into the house, we should discuss our next plan."

Lin Xian walked into the room and Angelica closed the door.

She first took Lin Xian to the bedroom and let him see the female secretary who was sleeping soundly on the big bed.

I slept soundly indeed.

"Although I'm sure she won't wake up in the short term, there are always unexpected things. So Lin Xian, help me keep an eye on her here. If she wakes up early, you must control her and don't let her inform Jask and ruin our good deeds."

As she spoke, Angelica patted a black suitcase placed on the dining table.

Lin Xian opened it.

Inside were what he needed: two black pistols, magazines, and bullets.

Then Angelica pointed to a corner of the living room.

There stood two familiar huge suitcases, which naturally contained Angelica's "disguise props".

"My driver delivered these things and left. Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Jask sent a work message to his female secretary, asking her to meet him at the Starship Rocket Launch Center and the Observation Tower at 10 a.m. today."

"This is the opportunity I've been waiting for. For the past two days, I've been with the secretary day and night. She also took a leave of absence from work, and we've been sticking together the whole time. I've already figured out her speaking habits, spoken language, standing posture, and gait... Plus, her figure is very similar to mine, so there's no problem in imitating her."

Angelica said as she opened the suitcase:
"It just so happens that this is the secretary's home. There are a lot of her clothes and jewelry to choose from. It's totally possible to mistake the fake for the real thing."

"But what about the sound?"

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"Even if you can imitate someone's appearance, body, temperament, and even walking posture, can you imitate something like voice?"

Angelica smiled.

He cleared his throat and pressed it again.

Then a completely different female voice said:

"Mr. Jask...why do you always come up here without your phone!"

Such as fake replacement.

It was the voice of the female secretary!

"You know so much."

Lin Xian sighed sincerely:

"It seems that the Oscar for Best Actress was given to you too late. No wonder you played the role of a female agent in the movie so well... You played yourself perfectly."

"I'm curious, where did you learn these skills and who taught you? Real Hollywood wouldn't train you in these things, right?"

Angelica put her right index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture:

"Secret~"

She changed to another voice that no one knew who it was, and she still handled it with ease:

"I have no problem imitating a normal speaking voice like this. But if you speak loudly, you will definitely be exposed. So I'll tell you a little trick... If you want to know a person's real voice, just let her shout a few times or speak a few words loudly."

indeed.

Lin Xian thought of the bubble sound and clip sound that were once popular.

These two sounds that make your scalp tingle and feel like ants crawling all over your body... can only be achieved when you speak in a low voice, or in other words, can only be heard through it.

Well, since the disguise, clothing, jewelry details and voice are all done, it seems that Angelica's chance of success this time deep into the tiger's den is still very high.

Lin Xian believed in her acting skills. Even if she couldn't answer Jask's questions, she should be able to get away with it.

Angelica took off her pajamas:

"Okay, I'm going to start putting on makeup and changing my appearance. Go to the bedroom and look after the secretary. Stay away for a moment."

……

Two hours later.

When the bedroom door was pushed open again.

Lin Xian saw a twin brother who looked exactly like the woman sleeping on the bed walking in!

"looks like?"

Angelica asked in a voice that wasn't hers.

"picture."

Lin Xian sincerely agreed:
“It really is like that.”

He turned his head several times to compare the two faces.

It's just like copy and paste...

Angelica's disguise skills are really amazing.

The woman who pushed the door open before me looked so lifelike as a female secretary. She had a tall figure, a black professional skirt, slightly reflective stockings, and high heels. The charm of a professional woman was evident before my eyes.

Now let’s look at the face.

Angelica's hair had been dyed the same color as the secretary's, and she had straightened it and tied it up at the back of her head, using the hairpins that secretaries usually use. Lin Xian looked at the cover of a magazine on the desk in the bedroom.

The photo on the cover is a photo of Jask and the female secretary, and the headline of this issue of the magazine is an interview with Jask and his private secretary.

Lin Xian picked up the magazine.

Then stand it upright in front of your eyes.

Compare the sophisticated and capable secretary on the cover with the new Angelica in front of you...

perfect.

Every detail is exactly the same:
"Except for a pair of red-framed glasses."

Lin Xian's words had just fallen.

Angelica, who was perfectly disguised, took out a pair of red-framed glasses from behind her and gently put them on her nose.

Wink:

"Isn't it exactly the same now?"

"really."

Lin Xian nodded affirmatively:

"Looking at the secretary's face shape and eye habits, she should wear glasses on a daily basis."

"Yes."

Angelica replied:

"I've seen photos of her at work, and she was always wearing the same pair of red-framed glasses. But during the two days she was with me, she never wore them once. She always wore contact lenses."

"Maybe...she thinks wearing glasses affects her appearance? Or maybe she thinks wearing glasses is inconvenient~ In fact, I still prefer her wearing glasses...it makes her more elegant and more aggressive."

Angelica looked at the small gold watch on her wrist, which also came from the secretary's jewelry box:
"It's almost time. I should leave. Jask is a very punctual person. It's not good to be early or late. What time he says is what time it is."

"Ah, I want to tell you one more thing." Lin Xian said suddenly.

He asked Angelica to pay special attention to the blue-eyed girl. Although the space-time assassin was still far away, it would be a good idea to pay more attention to her:
"If that blue-eyed girl appears, you must stop your actions immediately. She can see through disguises."

"Got it." Angelica walked over to the bedside table.

Pick up the secretary's cell phone.

He shook it towards Lin Xian:
"I took her phone, which contained work information. I saw her inputting her password over the past two days. I know everything about her now."

"Also, I have my phone with me. If anything happens, send me a message instead of calling. I will find a chance to reply when I see it."

"Then Lin Xian, I'll leave this to you. Keep an eye on her. The dosage is high, so she generally won't wake up. But if she does wake up... I've already given you the pistol, so you just need to control her temporarily. When I come back... I'll tell her that this is all part of the game, and she'll believe it."

"Is she so stupid?" Lin Xian couldn't believe it.

Angelica chuckled, followed the secretary's steps and walked out the door, turning back for the last time:

"For a woman in love, everything she sees is romantic~"

boom.

The door is closed.

Lin Xian looked through the window and watched Angelica drive away the Tesla sedan outside the door.

Now it's really so real from the inside out.

Coupled with Angelica's Oscar-level acting skills and voice imitation, as well as the in-depth communication with the secretary over the past two days, she already understood the communication method between the secretary and Jask very well.

Never asks questions, only gives orders and answers.

This is why Angelica decided to take the risk...

Jask has always been very confident. He makes all the decisions on his own and never asks his secretary for his opinion.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of Angelica's imitation.

in fact.

Now, for Lin Xian, it doesn’t matter whether Angelica contacts Jask or not.

He had gotten the information he wanted, knew Jask's position and attitude toward him.

But Angelica's goal has not been achieved yet.

She wanted to know more about the Genius Club, the true identity of Copernicus, and the murderer who killed Ji Lin's parents.

That's why she took the risk and tried her luck;

Go and see what Jask has hidden on that observation tower;
And...does Jask usually tell his secretary about the Genius Club?

If I don't tell her, Angelica won't ask questions on her own initiative, and the worst that can happen this time is that I will get nothing back.

But if Jask really trusts his female secretary, does not treat her as an outsider, and often tells her some information about the Genius Club... then Angelica will gain a lot from this trip into the tiger's den.

hum...

When the battery-powered Tesla drives out, there is no noise except for the low warning beep, and the driving is extremely smooth.

Tesla drove out of the villa yard and headed towards the town of Boca Chica, the Space-T starship launch center.

……

[Observation Tower].

Jask looked up.

The sun was blazing.

It is now late April, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the whole world has become full of vitality.

He looked at the deployed rocket launcher in the distance.

On the level ground below, a huge carrier was slowly raising a brand new Starship rocket.

It’s time to carry out the next test firing experiment.

Its starship rockets have exploded many times. When it first exploded, the whole world laughed at it as a joke.

but now.

More and more people are afraid that his rockets will explode.

Because everyone knows...

The more rockets he exploded, the closer he was to success.

The experience you can gain from failure is far greater than that from success.

He is never afraid of failure.

That's why he can achieve the success he has now.

Today, his Starship rocket is undisputedly the most powerful launch vehicle the world has ever built.

The reusable model can carry 150 tons of cargo at a time.

The disposable models can carry 250 tons at a time.

Looking at the whole world, this is a rather exaggerated number.

But this is far from enough for his grand ambitions.

Mars was just the first step of his gaze.

He also wants to look to the more distant universe, the more distant future... and to the more distant existence.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

The sound of high heels stepping on steel plates.

Jask knew that it was his anxious and easily flustered secretary.

He looked down at his watch.

Very punctual.

10 o'clock exactly.

"Mr. Ja... Mr. Jask..."

The female secretary wearing red-framed glasses was panting, holding a folder and bending over:
"Can't we meet somewhere else? Why do I have to climb so high in high heels every time?"

He smiled.

As always, every time the secretary ran up to the observation tower and came to the observation deck, she would complain like this:
"I'm going to Dragon Country at the end of this month to attend a meeting in the imperial capital."

The secretary straightened up and blinked:
"Is there anything you need to explain in particular? I'll make a note of it."

Jask leaned against the iron fence of the observation deck and shook his head:

"Nothing. The schedule is the same as before. I will attend a meeting on April 4 and meet with Dragon Country officials."

"I like Longguo very much. When they invited me, I accepted it immediately. I also told Longguo staff that it was my honor to attend Longguo Trade Promotion Council. I am not saying this out of politeness, but the truth... Longguo has always been very helpful to me. It can even be said that without the help of Donghai officials and Longguo, there would be no Tesla today."

"The schedule of the Council for the Promotion of International Trade has been decided, so let's go ahead as before. What I want to tell you today is that we will go to Dragon Country one day earlier. I want to give a girl a boat ticket."

"Flight ticket?"

The female secretary smiled inexplicably.

But still open the folder and start recording:
"Tell me, what kind of ticket? I'll take note of your leisure and elegance. Do you need to notify the media or reporters in advance?"

"No no no."

Jask waved his hand:

"It's not what you think. This is not hype. It's what I should do and what I must do with my own hands."

He turned around and tilted his head to look at the female secretary:
"I thought you could understand what I was thinking, but it seems like we don't have the same chemistry this time. Since we're talking about giving a boat ticket to the little girl from Dragon Country... then you must be referring to [Zheng Xiangyue]!"

"Didn't I call her personally before? She probably didn't watch the live broadcast and didn't know she got a ticket to the moon. I had to explain it to her for a long time."

"The little girl was very happy in the end, but I always felt that...she seemed to think it was a joke, or she didn't really believe it. Later, I asked a friend from Longguo to investigate. This little girl named Zheng Xiangyue...really, I like her name very much. It's really beautiful."

"Zheng Xiangyue has had congenital heart disease since she was a child. She has always been in poor health. She has basically spent all these years in the hospital. She has heart attacks from time to time and she almost died several times."

"To be honest, I also want technology to develop faster... Faster, maybe we can cash in those ten moon travel tickets in a few years. But it's not up to me to decide. If it were up to me, I would want the fleet to Mars to set off tomorrow."

"So please help me record and arrange the itinerary. We don't need to make a fuss about going to the hospital to give Zheng Xiangyue the boat ticket, nor do we need to notify any media. We can just go quietly. Zheng Xiangyue's health is not very good, so we can't disturb her too much. The reason why I want to give her this boat ticket in person is mainly for two reasons..."

"First, I want her to believe that even though her ticket was purchased with an anonymous check, it is real and valid, and will always be real and valid! If one day she can't hold on and goes into hibernation, we guarantee that her ticket to the moon will never expire. When she wakes up, we will send her a flight and send her to the moon as she wishes."

"I will promise her that even if she is the only one on the flight to the moon, I will still take off for her as promised; even if I am no longer here when she wakes up from hibernation and recovers from her illness, our Space-T company will always honor her ticket."

"Wow even."

The female secretary sighed, nodded slightly, picked up a pen and wrote it down on the folder, then said:
"What about the second consideration?"

"The second point... is a little more pessimistic."

Jask turned his head and looked at the female secretary:
"I'm afraid that Zheng Xiangyue's heart will not hold out one day, and she will die before she can enter the hibernation chamber... There's really nothing we can do about it. Not only did she not wait until we built a spacecraft that could land on the moon, she also didn't wait until the hibernation chamber entered mass production and was put into use."

“This is the most pitiful situation and the one I least want to see… But if we consider the worst-case scenario, what if this really happens?”

"Although I have no other options, I think if this really happens, I will regret not personally delivering this ticket to the moon to Zheng Xiangyue. So just in case, I will go to meet Zheng Xiangyue in person during this trip to Longguo."

"I want to encourage her, give her motivation, and make her believe that as long as she persists in fighting the disease, she can go to the moon one day and realize her dream. Just like her name, Zheng Xiangyue... What a simple, beautiful, and memorable name... Don't you think so?"

The female secretary quickly wrote down the itinerary on the folder, then looked up:

"I've made a note of this. I'll arrange it. Anything else?"

"You can't possibly... send me a message so long in advance and ask me to run to such a high tower just for such a trivial matter, right?"

Hehehe...

Jask smiled and shook his head with a look of smug delight:
"Of course it's not just this little thing, there are more important things. But before that..."

Jask pointed his finger at the secretary's left calf:
"Your stockings are torn."

"what?"

The female secretary was startled and hurriedly looked down at her left calf:

"Oh! When did it get broken? It's really..."

She put the folder on the ground, squatted down, and began to tidy up the torn stockings with her hands painted with red nail polish.

Click!

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of the female secretary's head!
The female secretary felt a chill...

She turned back tremblingly and opened her eyes wide.

The pitch-black muzzle of the gun was pointing right at his forehead!
Jask held the silver pistol in his right hand and looked at the female secretary squatting on the ground:

"Tell me, who sent you?"

"Mr. Ja... Mr. Jask..."

The female secretary breathed rapidly:

"You, this is what you are doing?"

"I admit, you really did a good job of pretending. Too good to be true... I didn't notice anything wrong at all. Your voice, pace, expression, and tone, you imitated everything exactly like my secretary."

Jask smiled and said:

"【It's just... you forgot to push up your glasses.】"

He tapped the red-framed glasses on the secretary's nose with the heavy, cold muzzle of his gun:

"My female secretary can't say more than three sentences before her red-framed glasses slide down. On average, she pushes them up every 10 seconds."

"There were times when I couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at her to get a pair of glasses that fit right and not let them slide down all day."

"But now... I am extremely grateful to that stubborn and disobedient female secretary. She would rather resign than change these annoying red-framed glasses. I swear, I will never blame her again. Perhaps it was this annoying pair of red-framed glasses that saved my life."

The muzzle moves forward.

He pressed tightly against the secretary's forehead, which felt cold to the touch:
"I don't like wasting time. I'll only give you 5 seconds to tell me who sent you."

Jask put away his smile, as cold as the muzzle of the gun, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman below:

“5、4、3、2、1……再见。”

He was about to use his index finger to exert force——

Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling!

The cell phone in the secretary's pocket rang at an inopportune time, interrupting Jask's execution.

Angelica, who was found pretending to be a secretary, dared not move...

She didn't even dare to lower her head to look at the ringing phone in her pocket.

Jask pursed his lips:

"take it out."

he snapped.

Angelica obediently took out two mobile phones from her pocket.

One is the real female secretary's cell phone.
