Genius Club.

Chapter 429: Death in Jade
Late at night, the sky is starless, in the Rhine Laboratory of Tunghai University.

Lin Xian pushed the door open with her handbag. Liu Feng had been waiting here for a long time.

"look."

Liu Feng pulled Lin Xian to the middle experimental table and asked him to look at the reading on the space-time clock. It was now showing a stable reading of -

【0.0000168】

It is still a multiple of 0.0000042, but the minus sign in front of it has disappeared.

In other words, since receiving Liu Feng's call while escaping in the early morning, the world line has rebounded from -0.0000042 to 0.0000168.

“How exactly did it change?”

Lin Xian asked:

"Please describe it to me in detail."

Liu Feng glanced at his watch:
"At 01:18 in the morning, the reading on the space-time clock dropped madly, directly from the original 0.0000336, all the way down, and finally fell to -0.0000042."

"Then I called you frantically, but you didn't answer. By the time you answered the phone, more than 0.0000042 minutes had passed. But at that time, the reading was still stable at -. It hadn't changed at all."

Lin Xian nodded.

He knew the reason for this change.

Because at 01:18, he was in a meeting at the Genius Club. At that time, the club president, an old man wearing an Einstein mask, named him [No.9 Rhine], and then asked everyone to stand up and applaud to welcome him to officially join the club.

At that time, Jask, who was wearing a Tesla mask, clapped the loudest.

Everyone in the club knew he was Jask, no one hid it, and they didn't even need to call him Tesla.

Lin Xian naturally recognized Jask and walked up to shake hands with him.

But at the moment of shaking hands, Jask disappeared.

At that time...

It was exactly 01:18.

Therefore, this time's changes in time and space and world line jumps were definitely caused by Jask's actions.

Lin Xian thought that Jask, who knew in advance that there was a traitor among him, would definitely not sit still and wait for death, and would definitely use the tactic of "exchanging the prince for a cat".

So, Jask, who should have died, did not die, and Pseudosk, who should have been alive, died. Naturally, the world line changed and jumped.

As the leader of the Mars immigration plan, whether it is the real or fake Jask, he has enough weight, there is no doubt about that.

What's more, from what Jask said the last time we met...it seems that he has other plans besides exchanging the prince for a raccoon cat.

Presumably, this is why the curvature of the world line jumps so much at once.

Well, it goes without saying.

It was at this point in time that Lin Yuxi recovered her memory.

What is the reason?

Is it because during the falling process of the world line, it briefly passed by the 0.0000000 world line where Lin Yuxi was?
Or……

In the -0.0000042 world line, is there still a Lin Yuxi?
Lin Xian felt that the second possibility was more likely.

Because Lin Yuxi and the blue-eyed girl No. 17 knew each other, and they were obviously very familiar with each other.

This means that Lin Yuxi must have some role in the -0.0000042 world line.

One thing is for sure, though.
-
The 0.0000042 and 0.0000000 world lines are close to each other, so the world view and future scenes must be very similar.

Then we can assume for the time being that the blue-eyed girl No. 17 came from -0.0000042 and also used entangled space-time particles.

So, in this world line, the Space-Time Police, the Space-Time Court, and the Space-Time Shuttle all exist, and the world is still dominated by Copernicus.

"What happens after that?"

Lin Xian pointed at the time and space clock and continued to ask:

"Then at what point in time did the space-time clock change again."

"02:14 in the morning."

Liu Feng said accurately.

This was what Lin Xian instructed Liu Feng to do, to remember the exact time of each change in time and space.

A surveillance camera was also arranged to monitor the time and space clock 24 hours a day.

"At 02:14, the reading on the space-time clock began to climb upward, and the world line also changed from negative to positive."

Liu Feng continued:

"Then it kept climbing steadily, passing 0.0000000 again... all the way to 0.0000168, and then it stabilized."

"After that, there was no change. It has been the same reading until you came to the lab now."

……

Lin Xian looked at his watch and began to recall.

02:14 pm.

It was probably the time when Lin Yuxi's entire body turned into a blue quantum state and used blue stardust to cover the entire Donghai City, blowing the time-space killer, the blue-eyed girl No. 17, into oblivion.

There is a rather strange point here.

That is, Lin Yuxi seemed to have suddenly regained some memory at this moment. She hugged Lin Xian, called him "Dad" in a heartbreaking way, and then... rushed forward, turned into a blue snow, and saved him.

Lin Xian was very sure.

Lin Yuxi's action must have been a temporary memory.

Because, in the previous confrontations with the blue-eyed girl No. 17, Lin Yuxi was repeatedly at a disadvantage and was forced into a corner.

The huge pressure from No. 17 made it impossible for them to win.

Especially when he pulled the V12 engine out from the rear cabin of the Ferrari with one hand, he directly announced the end of the race.

Before this, Lin Yuxi showed no signs of sacrificing her life for justice.

Even more conclusive evidence is.

At that time, Lin Xian ran over and picked up Lin Yuxi who was lying on the ground. He clearly saw a flash of blue light in Lin Yuxi's eyes.

Just this moment.

Just half a second.

Combined with the frequency of each reading of the space-time clock, it is also half a second.

Lin Xian has reason to believe it.

It was probably when the space-time clock reading passed the 0.0000000 world line again that Lin Yuxi regained the memory of transforming into a blue bomb.

Let’s review the process of the second world line jump.

Because of [something], the world line climbed up again, Lin Yuxi regained her lost memories, and then killed the blue-eyed girl No. 17.

I survived, the space-time butterfly effect occurred, and the world line continued to climb until it stabilized at 0.0000168.

There is something a little uncertain here.

Whether it was the influence of [something] or the butterfly effect of my own survival that allowed the world line to climb back to this level... it is now impossible to separate and verify.

Perhaps, it is the result of these two things.

There is no point in dwelling on this matter now.

0.0000168, this is a brand new world line that has never been experienced before.

0.0000000 is the fourth dream;

0.0000042 is the fifth dream;

0.0000084 is the sixth dream;

0.0000336 is the seventh dream;

The current 0.0000168 world line naturally corresponds to the unknown and unexplored eighth dream.

At this point, the reasons for the two world line jumps have all been figured out.

then.

I also roughly understood what happened to Blue-Eyed Killer No. 17 who appeared in the sixth and seventh dreams.

It can be seen that No. 17 is very jealous of Lin Yuxi for having a name, and she herself is also quite obsessed with the matter of name.

In the seventh dream, when Lin Xian was hunting with the blue-eyed village chief, he also confirmed this obsession from her mouth.

According to the original history.

Killer No. 17 not only beheaded himself, but also most likely killed Lin Yuxi. Then he took away Lin Yuxi's most precious family photo and used Yan Qiaoqiao's name to sleep in the hibernation cabin.

As for why...

Why didn't she use the properties of entangled space-time particles to return directly to the future world and the space-time police station?
Lin Xian guessed that there are two possibilities:

1. After Killer No. 17 traveled through time and killed herself and Lin Yuxi, the world line jumped due to some changes. Therefore, the -0.0000042 world line where she was, as well as the future where the Space-Time Police Department existed, all disappeared. Naturally, she could not go back, and could only take the hibernation capsule to return to the future.

This possibility is somewhat logically untenable.

2. In the eyes of Killer No. 17, the obsession of having a name is more important than any other honors and medals. She would even rather abandon her original identity and memory, including completely forgetting the code name No. 17... so as to start a new life under the name Yan Qiaoqiao.

Lin Xian felt that this possibility was more likely.

after all……

The blue-eyed girl No. 17 is indeed very obsessed with her name. Even after hundreds of years of hibernation, she has not been able to forget the obsession.

Moreover, if she didn't completely forget that she was No. 17, she would probably not be able to trick herself into accepting the name Yan Qiaoqiao.

But if you can achieve complete amnesia through the hibernation chamber, everything will be easy.

After she woke up.

Everyone would think her name was Yan Qiaoqiao, and everyone would naturally call her Yan Qiaoqiao, so she would also naturally think that she was Yan Qiaoqiao, and that this was her name.

In the seventh dream, when Lin Xian was hunting with Blue-eyed Village Chief No. 17, he once asked her:

“Are you happy with your life now?”

The blue-eyed village chief answered without hesitation:
"The dozen years after I woke up from hibernation were the happiest and most blissful years of my life... Even though I have no memories of the past, I still think that these were the happiest years of my life."

The blue-eyed village chief said frankly that she didn't care about the past, the memories, or the love of her parents, she only cared about the name.

When others call her Yan Qiaoqiao or Village Chief Yan, she can feel her presence and fulfills her duties as village chief with all her heart.

Hey.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh.

in fact.

Whether it was Lin Yuxi, who once wanted to kill her father for the sake of justice, or No. 17, who later became ruthless and followed orders...

They are not bad kids by nature.

Lin Xian really thought so.

Even though these two people had wanted to kill him, Lin Xian knew that it was because Copernicus had brainwashed them and instilled wrong ideas in them.

After Lin Yuxi lost her memory, she became Yan Qiaoqiao, who was well-behaved, obedient and sensible.

After No. 17 lost his memory, he became the blue-eyed village chief, who was kind, dedicated and respected.

They are all good kids.

They themselves deserve to have a happy life.

But he was instigated by bad people.

That's right.

The mastermind and culprit behind all this is - [Copernicus]!
Thinking of this, Lin Xian took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Copernicus is the real unforgivable sinner.

Just like what Lin Xian promised Zhao Yingjun before he came...

If he didn't kill Copernicus with his own hands to avenge his dead friends and family... he would be unworthy of being a father and a human being!
For the sake of his so-called worthwhile and bright future, Copernicus killed innocent people indiscriminately and tempted people to commit crimes. Even though there were thousands of reasons, Lin Xian believed that he was wrong and deserved to die.

before today.

Lin Xian's primary purpose in joining the Genius Club was to learn the secret of the Millennium Pile, break the rule, and rescue Chu Anqing.

but now.

He had two more specific goals:

[Kill Copernicus! Find out the truth of all mysteries and create a truly beautiful future for all children, all adults, and all human beings on earth! ]

"It's still unclear what the other genius club members are planning."

Lin Xian thought to himself:

"But Copernicus...must die!"

Perhaps because Copernicus was the first to join the genius club, was able to ask Einstein questions alone, and obtained the most information and truth, he had a very strong ability to control the world and history.

No one knows what his real purpose is.

No one knows who he is or how to defeat him.

Judging from the several future worlds that Lin Xian has experienced, it seems that the dark shadow of Copernicus covering the sky with one hand is everywhere. It is very likely that all other geniuses have lost, and only Copernicus is the winner.

"The one who has the ability to kill No. 2, Copernicus..."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

"Maybe, it's just me."

……

Look at Lin Xian standing there in a daze without saying anything.

Liu Feng walked to the corner of the laboratory and patted the small white refrigerator on the table:
"I have finished reporting on the space-time clock. Now let's talk about the entangled space-time particles... Come and take a look."

Lin Xian listened to Liu Feng's words and walked over quickly.

Liu Feng entered the password and opened the refrigerator door, allowing Lin Xian to see what was inside.

Spin, spin.

The first thing that catches your eye is two space-time particles rotating around each other.

Just as Lin Xian saw them for the first time.

Each one was violent and filled with filamentary lightning, spinning around each other tirelessly, and the charged balls inside kept impacting the blue sphere aggressively.

This is the complete form of the [entangled space-time particle].

Full of energy.

Vibrant.

"When did it return like this?"

"It was the moment when the blue snow disappeared."

Liu Feng replied:

"As you know, at 02:14, blue stardust floated all over Donghai City, and then disappeared in a few seconds."

"Then, immediately, the small white refrigerator made a beeping sound. I opened it and saw that the entangled space-time particle had recovered its energy."

"It's not just visual. Before you came, I also used instruments to test it. The energy of this entangled space-time particle is extremely complete and not a single bit is consumed! This is the most complete and original state of the space-time particle!"

"Of course, it is inactive, so it can be bound in a small refrigerator, not jumping around in the sky and not obeying any laws of physics like when we captured it before."

Lin Xian squatted down.

Get a closer look at entangled space-time particles.

really……

The tireless, never-ending rotation is like a binary star system in the universe.

Constant, stable, unchanging.

Then.

What is the reason why space-time particles regain energy?

Lin Xian shook his head.

In fact, the reason is no longer important. What is important is that a conclusion has been verified that space-time particles can indeed be recharged.

And this series of thrilling troubles are all caused by the re-energization of space-time particles.

Lin Xian sighed softly and patted the small refrigerator:

"This thing is really a disaster."

"Ok?"

Liu Feng was a little confused and raised his head:

"This is a treasure! If you say that other ordinary space-time particles are not precious, then that's fine...but this is an entangled space-time particle! Its existence itself is a miracle...It's even more of a miracle that Jask can capture it!"

"And now, this entangled space-time particle that had lost its energy has been recharged. This can only be described as a miracle among miracles! I have been excited watching it all night. How can you say it is a scourge?"

Lin Xian shook his head.

Said softly:

"Liu Feng... there are some things you don't know. You should know that the greatest function of space-time particles is to cooperate with the space-time shuttle to travel through time and space. This sounds cool, and that's why Huang Que came here."

"But have you ever thought about this? If there are good people traveling through time and space, there will be bad people traveling through time and space; if there are people traveling from the future to help us, there will also be people traveling from the future to kill us."

"Just like in the movie 'Terminator', enemies from the future are often much stronger than partners from the future. After all, killing a person is much easier than protecting a person."

"Why do you think... why did Jask feel so reluctant to part with this entangled space-time particle, but finally had to bear the pain and destroy it? The reason is that Jask knew that he couldn't keep this particle and it would be stolen by the enemy sooner or later, so he would rather die than live in disgrace, so he simply flipped the table and refused to let anyone have it."

"It's a pity that despite all our calculations, we made a mistake. We never expected that as long as this thing is not completely destroyed, it can actually recover its energy and become a consumable for time travel again."

"This is a bit troublesome. We originally thought that space-time particles that have lost their energy are worthless and can only be used for research. But now it has been proven that the 'corpses' of space-time particles are as important as the particles themselves. As long as we can find a way to recharge the energy of space-time particles, we can use entangled space-time particles almost unlimited times."

"Just imagine using entangled space-time particles countless times, sending super-powerful 'Terminators' back from the future to kill us countless times...even gods can't handle it."

moment.

Liu Feng suddenly realized something and paced quickly in the laboratory with his fingers stretched out:
"I see, what you said is indeed a problem."

"Although in the short term, the space-time shuttle cannot be manufactured and the enemy will not come to steal our space-time particles, but... the future is very long. Who can guarantee that the enemy will not steal the entangled space-time particles after decades or hundreds of years?"

"But now there is a problem!"

Liu Feng spread his hands and looked at Lin Xian:

"How exactly do we destroy the space-time particle completely? If it is before the space-time particle loses its activity, then just touching or colliding with it will be enough. After it becomes invisible, no one can see it, unless they are a thousand-year-old stake like Chu Anqing, and naturally they cannot be caught."

"And the active space-time particles flicker back and forth. It is so difficult to catch even when you can see and detect them, let alone when you can't see them."

"But now... no matter if it's the rice cooker or the small refrigerator, all the space-time particles captured by these space-time particle capturers are inactive. Even if you throw them into the sea or into the crater of a volcano, they can still be detected by the detector."

"Of course, if you throw it into the sea or into a crater, it will be difficult to capture it again even if it is detected, but it is not impossible to capture it. In the next few decades or hundreds of years, no one knows how technology will develop. Many problems that cannot be solved now will be solved by then."

"Just like you said, there is actually no difference between the corpse of space-time particles that have lost their energy and the space-time particles that are full of energy in the hands of an enemy who has mastered the means of recharging. It is nothing more than a dead battery that can be recharged."

"So, now that the entangled space-time particles have completely lost their activity, how can we completely destroy them?"

suddenly.

Liu Feng suddenly had an idea:
"I have an idea!"

"Lin Xian, you can go find Jask! You can borrow his rocket and send this entangled space-time particle into space... Just let it fly out of the solar system like Voyager 1. With the current technology of mankind, it will never be able to catch up."

"Even if human technology can catch up with space-time particles in the future, they will have already run away several light years. At such a long distance, no detection equipment can detect the signal, and there is no way to capture them again."

"If so, wouldn't it be possible to completely eradicate this scourge?"

Lin Xian smiled.

Pulling up a chair, I sat in front of the lab table:

"You are right, this is indeed a solution, but it is only a last resort."

"Entangled space-time particles are indeed a must-have for military strategists. Now that no one is fighting for them, it's because they don't know how precious, how abnormal, and how unreasonable they are."

"I can already imagine what this entangled space-time particle will look like when humans fully master the technology of time-space shuttles one day."

"Yup!"

Liu Feng was somewhat puzzled:

"So, let's get rid of it as soon as possible! Throw it into space! Wouldn't that put an end to future troubles?"

Lin Xian shook his head:
"Just listen to me until I finish my words."

"It's a shame to throw away such a precious thing. Moreover, if we want to completely prevent future troubles, besides throwing it into space, there is a more practical way..."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at Liu Feng:

"【We consume this entangled space-time particle.】"

Liu Feng's eyes widened.

Take a deep breath:

"W-what? Consume?"

He swallowed his saliva:
"But how can we consume it? We don't have a time-travel machine!"

Snapped.

Lin Xian opened his handbag and put a stack of manuscripts on the laboratory table.

Liu Feng stretched his head and took a look——

"Theoretical Principles of Time-Space Shuttle and Conception of Building a Time-Space Shuttle"

"Fuck!"

He exclaimed:

"Where did you get this thing from?"

"It does not matter."

Lin Xian waved his hand:
"What's important is that we must create a time-space shuttle as soon as possible, and then consume this entangled space-time particle, once and for all, and completely eliminate future troubles."

Liu Feng stood up and looked at Lin Xian:

"Could it be that you..."

"Yes."

Lin Xian nodded, firmly.

His two relatives in the future, in other time and space, both traveled across the long river of time because of him.

The yellow bird guided him from a confused boy to a responsible man;

Yu Xi transformed him from an immature man into an upright father.

This time...

It's his turn!

Lin Xian looked into Liu Feng's eyes and said word by word:
"I will personally use this entangled space-time particle to conduct the first time in human history--"

"【Time Travel】!"
