Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"Well then, Teacher Jingtian, I'm leaving."

Lu Ze's clone stood up from the chair and bowed slightly to Jing Tian's clone, who was sitting at the table.

The two clones sat facing each other and talked for half the night. If a third person were present, they would probably find the scene extremely eerie.

But for them, this was the most reasonable arrangement imaginable.

Two doppelgangers, destined to dissipate, have paved the final stretch of the road to achieve their goal of rewriting their destiny.

Jing Tian nodded without saying a word. He reached out his right hand and poured himself another cup of tea.

Although the clone recognizes itself as a clone, its behavior and logic remain the same as the original.

Next, Lu Ze needs to refine some details of the plan one by one.

The plan was mostly perfect, but many parts still needed polishing, so Jingtian discussed it with him for most of the night before finally settling on all the details.

First, based on the future as Lu Ze knows it, Jing Tian's death should only be a historical fact until the Star Train arrives at the Immortal Ship Luofu.

Therefore, in order not to change the original historical trajectory of the star, the hibernation chamber containing Jingtian's true form cannot be opened before then.

He needed to find an absolutely safe place to install the hibernation pod, a location that would not be accidentally discovered for the next thirty years.

Secondly, he needs to convey some information to the future stars.

The phone has already been taken home by the main body, so he can no longer contact Xing directly.

There was only one solution he could think of: the time capsule plan he had agreed upon with Xing and the others.

Luze intends to use this plan to anchor the opening time of the hibernation pod to a star within this timeframe.

In this way, the hibernation pod will only be opened once Xing arrives in Luofu by train, reads the letter, finds Jingyuan and completes the cipher, thus fulfilling this series of tasks.

The entire timeline is interconnected and every link is indispensable.

Finally, and most importantly, where is the safest place to put the hibernation pod?

Both the hibernation pod and the outer protective box were provided by Jingtian.

According to him, although the outermost layer is made of sandalwood, the internal structure has been specially treated, and ordinary people cannot open it by force. Only by simultaneously pulling up the hidden snaps in the four corners will the box automatically disassemble.

This design is secure enough, but not enough; the box itself also needs a reliable custodian.

Lu Ze initially thought of entrusting it to a bank vault for safekeeping, but Tian objected, feeling it wasn't safe enough.

After discussing it, the two decided to entrust the box to General Jingyuan for safekeeping.

Jing Tian wrote a letter of introduction, concise and solemn, recommending Lu Ze to Jing Yuan in his capacity as the Grand Diviner of the Jade Palace.

He folded the visiting card and placed it in Lu Ze's hand, his withered fingers gently pressing on the back of his hand.

He originally wanted to go in person, but considering Jing Yuan's intelligence, what if that Shence General guessed who was lying inside?

Then the entire plan to secretly cross the river could be ruined.

Therefore, they unanimously decided that Lu Ze would go alone and entrust the box to Jing Yuan for safekeeping as personal belongings.

With Jingtian's invitation and recommendation, Jingyuan would not refuse Lu Ze's request.

However, Lu Ze still had a backup plan; he wrote the coded message in the letter.

In the future, Jingyuan will only allow those who match the secret code to open the box.

After arranging all the details, Lu Ze took one last look at Jing Tian's clone. The two clones nodded to each other, without any further farewell.

In the early morning mist, Lu Ze stepped into the Shence Mansion alone.

Jing Yuan had just finished the nighttime military meeting and was leaning against his desk, rubbing his temples.

The visiting card was presented, the box was carried in, and Lu Ze briefly explained his purpose.

Jing Yuan opened the visiting card, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Ze in front of him, and then looked at the sandalwood box on the ground.

"I will naturally not neglect the person recommended by Elder Jingtian. This box is placed in the Shence Mansion, and no one can touch it."

Jing Yuan agreed so readily that Lu Ze felt somewhat uneasy.

He always felt that there was something hidden in the general's smiling eyes, and perhaps he had already guessed what it was.

However, Lu Ze didn't say anything more. Since Jing Yuan had already agreed to keep the box safe, he didn't plan to linger any longer.

Lu Ze bowed and took his leave, then his clone walked out of the Shence Mansion gate.
