Chapter 422 Du Yao

Chapter 422 Du Yao (Additional chapter for Alliance Leader Feng Yeyi!)

really.

Fake...

Fake Jask.

It was also the "stand-in" who first appeared in the abandoned warehouse driving a Tesla and deceived Lin Xian with a fake one.

If……

In the Seventh Dream, the person who led people to fly to Mars was Jask's substitute, not the real Jask. That could explain a lot of things that were wrong.

"Come in and talk."

Angelica was very rational and not the crazy woman as the legend said. She turned sideways and let Lin Xian and CC walk into the house.

then.

He stared at the big-faced cat with a puzzled look, and at the strange man who was holding the bear's head, gnawing on it mouth to mouth, and eating the bear's tongue:
"Who is this?"

"Ah, him..."

Lin Xian really didn't know how to introduce this starving glutton. He was such a disgrace to the villagers. Fortunately, he was not made the village chief:
"Brother Lian, we have found a place, we don't need you anymore, go back to the buffet and continue eating mutton skewers."

"Got it!"

After saying that, the big-faced cat ran away holding the panda head.

really.

A happy world means a happy big-faced cat. He doesn't care about the end of the world, the situation on Mars, or true or false intelligence.

He just cares.

Is the lamb kebab cooked?

……

After Big Face Cat left, Angelica waited for the two to enter the house, closed the door, and turned on the lights.

Donghai City still does not have a collective power supply, and each household still uses its own nuclear batteries, which are sufficient to cope with daily life consumption.

This is what Lin Xian said. The negative effects brought about by nuclear batteries have caused people to generally lie down, and there have been no super-large factories so far... It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

Sit down on the couch.

Angelica took out a "Memory Notebook" from the drawer and handed it to Lin Xian:

"When I entered the hibernation chamber, it was obviously very urgent. I didn't have time to prepare so much, so I only wrote this "Memory Notebook". It mainly explains the things related to you, Ji Lin, and Jask. As for other memories... I don't know anything about them. I don't even know what kind of life I have."

"The reason why people in this city call me a crazy woman is because of the sequelae of losing my memory. It made me anxious and worried. I couldn't even distinguish between reality and fantasy. I felt like I was being torn out of this world."

"I didn't expect that I would care so much about my memories... During that time, the more I couldn't get my lost memories back, the more I started to have wild thoughts. I guess I had a lot of negative effects on the residents around me at the time, but that was definitely not my intention. I... really couldn't control myself at the time."

"understand."

Lin Xian nodded and took the notebook:
"Everyone values memory differently. Some people are willing to give up memory, some people think memory is unimportant, but some people think memory is the foundation of life and soul."

"Your emotional breakdown is completely reasonable. I feel that if I woke up without any memory at all, and the Memory Notebook only recorded trivial things that had nothing to do with me, I would probably react in the same way as you."

He said this mainly to calm Angelica's emotions.

But in fact……

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

It was easy for him to talk without any worries. Angelica's inner conflict, panic and resistance were indeed something Lin Xian could not understand at that moment.

Lin Xian opened his notebook.

The first thing he saw was the two plastic-covered photos of himself and Ji Lin in the interlayer.

Because they were completely sealed in plastic, the two photos were well preserved. Ji Lin's photo was of a little boy, and I didn't know why Angelica chose this one to save; her photo was much more casual, a very common media photo.

Then, Lin Xian looked at the handwritten contents in the notebook.

Just like what Angelica said...

She was probably really anxious to enter the hibernation chamber for hibernation, so not only was her handwriting very messy and sloppy, but some of the words were not clear enough, making it difficult to read.

But Lin Xian still understood it.

This time, the records about himself finally ranked ahead of Ji Lin.

The notebook first wrote that she died on July 2024, 7. She was still beheaded and the murderer was nowhere to be found. Then Angelica attended her own funeral... These things were exactly the same as the previous version, without any changes.

then.

Angelica met Jask at the funeral, and the two returned to the United States together and communicated some things.

At that time, Jask told Angelica that he would help Lin Xian fulfill his promise:
"Since Lin Xian has passed away, when I find out who killed your brother's parents, I will tell you the murderer."

"And Lin Xian."

Angelica emphasized without hesitation at that time:
"Now I not only want to avenge my brother Ji Lin, I also want to avenge Lin Xian... If you know who killed Lin Xian, you must tell me the name of the murderer."

Up to this point, everything is normal.

But half a month later.

Angelica meets Jask again.

She only felt horror and terror...

The other person looked exactly like Jask, and had obviously undergone sophisticated imitation and disguise, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake; if she hadn't personally put on makeup and changed the appearance of the stand-in... I'm afraid she would have been deceived as well.

This conversation.

The other party was obviously trying to trick her.

This is the fake Jask, played by the fake Jask in disguise.

The other party seemed very confident in this role-playing and had no idea that Angelica had discovered the flaw.

As a Hollywood versatile witch and Oscar-winning actress, Angelica's acting skills are absolutely unquestionable.

She also pretended not to notice that Jask had been replaced, and acted relaxed, meeting with her "old friend" without leaking any information or revealing any details.

after this……

Angelica confirmed that Jask was definitely killed, most likely in a premeditated murder, and then the fake Jask was supported to take over and continue to deceive the whole world.

Faced with the bizarre deaths of two friends one after another.

Angelica sensed the danger.

So she quickly came to Longguo, got a spot as a hibernation cabin volunteer through her connections, and hibernated into the cabin.

She did not set a specific time for herself to wake up from hibernation, but said that she would be awakened when Jask's Mars immigration plan was completed and left the earth.

"But later on, I don't know what went wrong, and I was never awakened."

Angelica sat across from the coffee table and explained to Lin Xian:
"When I woke up again, I had been dug out from the underground hibernation base by the residents of Donghai City."

"I'm lucky. At that time, most of the hibernation chambers in the underground hibernation base were damaged for various reasons, and the hibernators inside died."

"And my hibernation chamber miraculously worked well... It was also thanks to the later invention of micro-nuclear batteries that upgraded the hibernation chamber. Otherwise, I would definitely not have survived the super disaster in 2400."

……

This is the end.

Angelica's story explains it all.

Lin Xian also understood many things that were wrong in the seventh dream.

The bottom line is -

[After Jask's death, he was replaced by his body double, Fake Jask, and the entire Mars immigration plan became a show, a meaningless performance.]

Who killed Jask?
Who is supporting the stand-in Fake Sike to take power and continue to deceive the whole world?
Lin Xian didn't know.

But now in 2024, Jask's biggest rival, the digital life Turing, has been eliminated by himself.

Who else would kill Jask?

Galileo? Copernicus? Or...some other member of the genius club?
I have to say, this move is really cruel.

The murderer was not satisfied with killing Jask, and he wanted to use a substitute Jask to continue to carry out a series of Mars immigration plans step by step.

What kind of secret is hidden behind this painstaking arrangement?

Then turn to Angelica's "Memory Notebook".

The following records were about Ji Lin's affairs and Angelica's private affairs. In short, it had nothing to do with himself and Jask.

Snapped.

Lin Xian closed the notebook and returned it to Angelica opposite him.

It felt as if there was a black-robed Grim Reaper behind the sofa, holding a scythe, ready to chop off my neck and cut me in half.

It seems...

Even though the world line changed so much and took off six gears, the fact of his own death on July 6 could not be changed or avoided.

What is even more surprising is.

This time, because he had eliminated Turing in advance, he accidentally pulled Jasker up on the road to the underworld and sacrificed him together.

He swore it was an accident.

As expected, those who play with time and space will eventually be played with by time and space. The butterfly effect and changes in time and space are so ruthless.

But Lin Xian didn't expect that he was the one playing with time and space, and Jask was the scapegoat.

How sad.

"Jask's death shouldn't be that hard to avoid, right?"

It was reasonable for Lin Xian to remind Jask in advance. After all, he was a rare ally of his.

What's more, the other party not only gave him an entangled space-time particle that had lost its energy, but also saved him when he was in danger of being kidnapped by Lin Yuxi.

Now, it's time to return the favor.

After waking up from this dream, Lin Xian planned to contact Jask by phone and arrange a time to discuss the matter in person.

Compared to talking on the phone, it is more reliable to talk in person.

because……

Lin Xian considered that the other party could not only kill Jask, but also perfectly replace Jask without being noticed by the whole world; that meant that the murderer was most likely someone around Jask, or at least there were insiders around Jask, otherwise all this would never have gone so smoothly.

So, in this situation where there is an undercover agent around...

Who can guarantee that Jask’s phone is not being tapped?

It's hard to guard against a thief in your own home.

To be on the safe side, Lin Xian decided to ask Jask to come to Donghai City to discuss in detail to ensure that everything goes well.

"Don't worry, Angelica."

Lin Xian looked up and assured Angelica:
"【This battle is not over yet.】"

"As you can see, I'm not dead yet, and there's still hope for Jask to be saved. So... thank you very much for sticking with this world for so long. The information you brought me is very valuable. Perhaps our comeback battle will begin now."

"At the same time, I promise you that our agreement has not ended yet, and I will definitely keep my word."

He looked serious, put his right palm on his chest, and looked at Angelica:

"Since I promised you that I would find the murderer who killed Ji Lin's parents, I will definitely not break my promise. I will definitely find him out, tell you, and even... take revenge with you."

Speaking of which.

Lin Xian smiled inexplicably:
"You definitely don't remember. You asked me a similar question before, asking if I would avenge Ji Lin... I refused outright at the time, because what Ji Lin did was not worth me doing anything for him. He deserved it."

"But... now I make this promise not because of Ji Lin, but because of you, Angelica. You have indeed helped me with many things, both in the past and now... I will always remember this kindness."

"So, be patient and wait. I won't let your efforts go to waste. I will soon be admitted to the Genius Club and fulfill the promise between us."

……

Angelica listened.

After decades of worry, I finally settled down.

She calmed down, but two tears fell:

"Thank you, Lin Xian... Your appearance made me feel that my waiting was not in vain. I have been living in a daze these years, not knowing what I should do or what I am waiting for... But what you said today made all my waiting meaningful."

"I believe you, and believe every word you say. Just like what I wrote in the Memory Notebook, you and Ji Lin are the two people I trust most in this world... I thought I would never have the chance to avenge you in this lifetime, but I didn't expect that I would finally wait for this moment."

"I often think how nice it would be if I could regain my old memories. I hope we can still chat like old friends, just like we did hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, many things are very vague in my mind now, including the things between us. Most of them don't feel real."

Lin Xian nodded to show his understanding.

In the fifth dream before this.

Angelica left behind a lot of "Memory Notebooks" and "Memory Videos". Because she woke up on the developed Mars, after waking up from hibernation, those video memories could be viewed directly in her mind.

But the seventh dream now is different.

She was not taken to Mars by Jask.

At the same time, this hibernation was very hasty, and I only had time to leave a notebook; naturally, most of my memories are missing.

To this day, Angelica is able to give these fragmented memories emotions through self-suggestion and self-hypnosis, which is, to be honest, quite remarkable.

【memory】.

Lin Xian looked at another "Memory Notebook" in his hand. This one came from Emperor Gawain. He got it from Gawain's campus office before the bonfire party.

This time...

What kind of surprise will Emperor Gao Wen give him? With anticipation, Lin Xian opened the cover of his notebook.

however……

"Overcoming the side effects of hibernation amnesia and reviving dormant memories - brain nerve electric shock helmet!"

"hehe."

Seeing the familiar title on the title page, Lin Xian was amused.

Hey.

Who can I go to for justice?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Gawain in this life is still researching the cranial nerve electric shock helmet, and the progress is still stuck in the lack of key breakthroughs in the cranial nerve discipline... All the details are exactly the same as in the sixth dream.

"So, this means that I died on July 7 before I could publish this manuscript."

According to Lin Xian's original plan, he did not intend to publish this manuscript, nor did he plan to set up a related laboratory for research so early.

because……

The key person, [Ms. Du Yao], still has no clues.

It is clear from Gao Wen's manuscript that in the next few hundred years, there will never be another genius in the field of brain nerves like Du Yao who has a flash of inspiration.

Therefore, if you want to make a brain nerve electric shock helmet, there is only one way -

Find Du Yao and change her life. Don't let her participate in any peacekeeping aid operations in Africa, but let her concentrate on research in the laboratory.

In this way, as long as she can make a key breakthrough, the brain nerve electric shock helmet can be made according to this manuscript.

"Ms. Du Yao, the brain nerve electric shock helmet is the key to changing the future world. It must be put on the agenda."

Lin Xian admitted.

Until the July 7 U-turn crisis was resolved, he was indeed slow in moving forward on other things.

Today, only micro-nuclear batteries are on the right track.

The remaining two manuscripts, "Time Machine" and "Cranial Neural Electric Shock Helmet", have not made any progress in 2024.

"We must hurry up, otherwise...Emperor Gawain will have nothing to fleece."

Lin Xian felt very heartbroken.

I finally found Emperor Gawain again, and was thinking of standing on the giant's shoulders and jumping left and right again, but I found that the progress was stuck.

He knew it very well.

As long as I don't find Ms. Du Yao in reality, even if I meet Gao Wen in my dream next time, the next time, and the next time, the notebook he gave me will still contain "Brain Nerve Electric Shock Helmet" and there will be no updates.

Unless I solve this helmet problem as soon as possible.

In this way, Gao Wen in the next life can continue to work hard, break through obstacles, and create greater glories.

"I can't hinder Gao Wen's progress..."

Lin Xian reflected deeply.

After this dream, I must find [Ms. Du Yao].

We must not become a stumbling block on Gao Wen's path to progress.

After all, I am busy all day long in reality and dreams, but the changes I make to the world and the future are actually not as great as a finger of Emperor Gawain.

Science is the primary productive force and the foundation for changing the world.

This principle is vividly reflected in Gao Wen.

after that.

Lin Xian and CC left Angelica's house, bid farewell to the old lady in her seventies who was called a crazy woman, and strolled through the town again in the early morning, heading towards the still bustling square.

CC let out a breath through his nose.

sighed:
"It seems that this world is not as beautiful as we imagined just now. We were too optimistic."

"Yes."

Lin Xian nodded:
"We only see the surface, but beneath the surface, there are so many conspiracies and darkness hidden."

No wonder...

No wonder the seventh dream seems to have not changed much compared to the sixth dream, but it directly jumps 6 energy levels in the curvature of space and time.

It turns out that there are undercurrents.

"Hey."

Lin Xian sighed lightly and thought about the third question of the Genius Club.

What kind of future is the best future?
There really isn't a correct answer anymore.

The seventh dream.

Since Jask also died in 2024, it goes without saying that he also lost miserably in this future and this world line.

It's too awful.

Not only did they lose their wife but also their soldiers, and the fruits of victory and even their own existence were all taken away by the enemy.

What is the situation on Mars now?

Lin Xian felt that the situation should be very pessimistic.

after all……

Jask truly loves Mars and is a man with a persistent dream, so he was able to manage and develop Mars.

If other people were in power, it is hard to imagine the dire straits or even the state of self-destruction that Mars would be in.

"Think about it after you wake up from the dream."

Lin Xian and CC walked back to the square. It was already late at night, and even the crowded buffet area was deserted.

Everyone went home and went to bed.

Anyway, the buffet will be held for three consecutive days, so for these carefree people, it doesn't matter if they come back tomorrow to have the banquet.

"Here! For you two!"

The big-faced cat, who had eaten so much that it became a ball, rolled over, holding a handful of red willow twig lamb skewers in his hand:

"I saved this especially for you two! Come eat it quickly, it's still hot!"

Also.

After arriving in Donghai City, I was busy all the way. When it was time for supper, I was indeed a little hungry.

"Then eat some."

Lin Xian and CC took a few skewers of lamb.

The large chunks of mutton on top are rosy red, the mutton fat is shiny and bright, and the fragrance is diffused in the moonlight.

Really fragrant.

Lin Xian opened his mouth wide, ready to bite into the tender and juicy mutton——

boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
The white light at 00:42 arrived without delay, instantly evaporating the midnight snack that was about to reach my mouth and everything in the East China Sea City in front of me, leaving only darkness and a feeling of nothingness.

……

In a corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes and sniffed:
"grass."

He cursed silently.

What a coincidence, I was just about to bite the meat, but the dream ended.

"Damn white light."

Lin Xian sat up from the bed. He was really hungry. The aroma of mutton fat still lingered at his nose, sweet but not greasy.

but.

Let’s get down to business first.

Lin Xian took out his cell phone, pressed the international long-distance code, and dialed Jask's number in the United States.

Soon, the call was answered:

"Lin Xian, it's really rare to receive a call from you."

"Jask, do you have time to come to the East China Sea these days?"

Lin Xian went straight to the point:

"I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh?"

Jask on the other end of the phone chuckled:
"Have you encountered any difficulties and need my help? Let me guess... Is it possible that a certain test question has stumped you?"

"If that's the case, then I can't help you. Although I'm looking forward to your joining the club more than anyone else, and I'm ready to applaud you warmly. But the rules are the rules, and I can't give you any hints."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and denied his guess:

"Don't worry, Jask, it's not about that."

"What I want to talk to you about is much more important than this little thing. After all... I have actually already taken care of these little things, and if you don't take the things I want to talk to you about seriously... you may not even have the chance to applaud me at the club party."

Once you say this.

There was immediate silence on the other end of the phone.

The atmosphere became solemn.

Jask naturally knew that Lin Xian would not joke about such things.

He left his phone number to Lin Xian a long time ago.

But until today...

This was the first time Lin Xian called him.

This is enough to show that what Lin Xian wants to talk about is very important! And, for some reason, he can't discuss it in detail over the phone.

Jask instantly thought of several situations.

Do walls have ears?
Phone monitoring?

Got something to show yourself?

In short, no matter what the reason is, listen to others' advice and eat your fill. Just do as Lin Xian says.

"Okay, I have some things to arrange in the next two days. I will arrive in Donghai in three days, and I will contact you in advance then."

After agreeing on a time, the two hung up the phone.

Lin Xian looked at the electronic alarm clock on the bedside.

现在，是2024年6月17日，00：47分。

The day of judgment is July 7th...

Exactly 20 days.

Jask will arrive in Donghai City in three days, and the two can have a good discussion on many things.

That was before this.

In these three days.

What should I do?

Recalling what happened in the dream just now, Angelica's collapse and fear of losing her memory, and Gawain's research progress on the card owner in his notebook.

【Du Yao】.

This key figure is the key to the development of the cranial nerve electric shock helmet; and once this magical helmet that can restore the memory of hibernating amnesiacs is released...

The future world will surely usher in another great change.

Many people who hibernated into the future are troubled by lost memories, including Zheng Xiangyue, Wei Shengjin, Angelica, Gao Wen... and so on.

If this side effect of amnesia can be completely eradicated.

Will the future of mankind take a broader path?

Lin Xian felt it necessary to give it a try.

"Du Yao...I've actually seen this name somewhere."

Close your eyes.

Think hard.

He was sure.

This is definitely not a strange name, I must have seen it somewhere!

"Du Yao."

Lin Xian frowned.
