Chapter 425 Lin Xian’s Answer (Additional chapter for the leader’s worry!)

later.

The blue-eyed village chief continued to lead the way forward, and Lin Xian followed silently behind him. The two no longer communicated.

Lin Xian followed her hunting this time.

The original intention was to extract some information from her...

Even though she has lost her memory, perhaps we can start from the emotional aspect.

But things went counterproductive.

The information became more and more vague.

Lin Xian had seen the blue-eyed woman in front of him when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Can feel it.

She really likes the name Yan Qiaoqiao.

Just like that photo, she said in person that she didn't care who the three people in the front were. She didn't care at all. What she cared about... was whether the name Yan Qiaoqiao written on the back belonged to her.

Lin Xian is a little hard to figure out.

If the blue-eyed village chief in front of him was really Lin Yuxi, who killed him on July 7 and triggered the secondary space-time rejection...

Why do her ideas change so much?

【wrong】.

Lin Xian suddenly reacted.

It seemed that he had been overlooking one thing.

When he was thinking about the problem during this period, he always treated Yan Qiaoqiao as the same person.

although.

Biologically speaking, they are indeed the same person.

but……

The same body, with different lives and memories, can it still be considered the same person?
this problem.

Lin Xian had thought about it early in the morning, but he still couldn't come up with an accurate answer.

For example, the blue-eyed village chief in front of us is indeed very different from Yan Qiaoqiao in 2024.

But what if... we compare her with the former Lin Yuxi?

It seems that there are many more similarities.

So the key question is -

[If one day, Yan Qiaoqiao regained her memory and became a blue-eyed girl again; when she gained all of Lin Yuxi's memories, would her memories as Yan Qiaoqiao disappear? ]

If Yan Qiaoqiao's memory disappears, she will completely turn into the time-space assassin Lin Yuxi, arresting herself without emotion, or even... killing her.

This can be seen from the arrest video recorded by Lin Yuxi before.

She has the authority to kill herself directly.

Although the best option is definitely to arrest, hibernate, and send to the Space-Time Court for trial.

But now there is no time and space court, nor is there any time and space police station. Is it possible that Lin Yuxi will directly sentence himself to death and execute him immediately?

Now, there are 7 days left until July 7th.

Yan Qiaoqiao still showed no signs of recovering her memory, and the entangled space-time particles showed no signs of recovering their energy.

Lin Xian really couldn’t think of...what opportunity would allow Yan Qiaoqiao to recover her memory.

"Could it be some other law of time and space?"

It has been a long time since he comprehended the new laws of time and space.

It feels like the progress of many things around me has been inexplicably stuck.

"I hope that after I join the Genius Club, I can find a way out of these problems."

Click.

Lin Xian cut off the branches blocking the way, quickened his pace and caught up with the blue-eyed village chief.

have to say……

It's quite difficult to find bears in the mountains and forests.

Basically everything depends on the vision and sense of smell of the blue-eyed village chief. Her superhuman eyesight can clearly observe the footprints and claw marks of the grizzly bear, and her sense of smell can smell the feces of the grizzly bear. She is simply a natural hunter.

Lin Xian had no doubt about the strength of these "Terminators".

He was hunted.

He’s experienced the Grizzlies perspective.

Naturally, I know how powerful the blue-eyed village chief is.

Swish!
The blue-eyed village chief stretched out his arm to stop Lin Xian:
"found it."

Lin Xian perked up and looked left and right:
"where?"

"there."

The blue-eyed village chief pointed in a direction straight ahead.

Lin Xian squinted his eyes and looked into the distance...

Good guy.

It really is!
Now the afterglow of the setting sun was almost completely lost in the darkness. It was with this last bit of light that Lin Xian could barely see a black bear shadow, very far away.

"So, what's our next tactic?"

Lin Xian looked at the environment to the left, then to the right:
"We—eh? Where are the people?"

He blinked.

I just turned my head to the left, and how come the village chief on the right disappeared?
Suddenly, he realized something.

He hurriedly stood up and looked forward.

I saw...

A fast-running black shadow rushed straight towards the grizzly bear!
Simple and unpretentious, direct attack!
Subsequently.

After a few hard crackings, the big grizzly bear was folded into a ball before he could react, and then tied up like a dumpling with ropes.

"Gah?"

At this time, the grizzly bear was stunned, and stood there like a simple-minded big-faced cat.

However, it didn't even have the chance to make a second sound. The blue-eyed village chief quickly tied its mouth tightly, so that it couldn't make any sound except for the whining sound.

that's it.

When Lin Xian ran to the grizzly bear, it had been tied up and unable to move.

The blue-eyed village chief beside him also dusted off his hands and smiled slightly:
"It's done. Let's take it as a gift to City Lord Li. What do you think?"

"..."

Lin Xian was in mixed feelings and didn't know how to describe it.

He and the bear somehow felt like they were from the same roots.

But helpless.

Today, he still needed this grizzly bear as a stepping stone to enter Donghai City. Lin Xian had no choice but to walk forward, gently stroke the grizzly bear's head, and comforted him:

"Don't worry...I won't eat your eyeballs at night."

???

The grizzly bear's eyes widened instantly, looking at Lin Xian with panic.

Just as Lin Xian was thinking about how to transport this half-ton grizzly bear down the mountain, the blue-eyed village chief turned his back, grabbed the grizzly bear tied up like a dumpling with both hands, and carried it on his back, then looked back at Lin Xian:
"Follow."

Then, he went down the mountain with light and jumping steps.

"..."

now.

Lin Xian finally understood what level of monsters he had been fighting against during his time in the United States.

Moreover, there are two monsters.

From this perspective, the fight between the real and fake Yu Xi was still a bit more civilized. It may be that the modern war thinking constrained their thinking, causing them to abide by martial ethics whether in vehicle battles or gun battles.

If the current blue-eyed village chief were to fight with the two of them, I guarantee that everything would be thrown and everything would be hurled, and the fight would definitely not be so civilized.

Along the way, Lin Xian followed her.

Listening to the grizzly bear's whimpering and crying, I had already decided where I would hide on July 7th.

If we really can't find a way to prevent Yan Qiaoqiao from recovering her memory before July 7, then on July 7, can we just avoid her even if we can't afford to offend her?

I will take the initiative to contact the National Security Agency and ask them to protect me.

As for how Yan Qiaoqiao would deal with it...

I'll have to think about that later.

"It depends on her luck."

Faced with his own daughter killing her father to prove her faith, Lin Xian was helpless.

……

Not long after, Chief Blue Eyes returned to Face Village carrying the grizzly bear on his back.

The big-faced cat couldn't wait any longer. He shouted and lifted the big grizzly bear onto the electric truck, wanting to set off to Donghai City immediately.

He waved at Lin Xian:
"Let's go, brother, let's go to the feast!"

Lin Xian then realized that because he had told Big Face Cat the menu in advance, he had decided not to eat at home and was going to eat and drink on an empty stomach.

Erzhuzi was shocked when he saw the big-faced cat start the car:
"Brother! Aren't you going home for dinner? Sister-in-law has prepared everything for you!"

"I won't go home for dinner today."

The big-faced cat is driving the car in reverse:

"Since the village chief has returned early, let's send these things to City Lord Li as soon as possible."

"Then, the meal my sister-in-law prepared will be wasted!"

Erzhuzi shouted in a hoarse voice, rubbing his hands:

"How about I go find my sister-in-law and eat it for you!"

"casual."

The big-faced cat didn't care and just stepped on the accelerator and wanted to leave.

"stop!"

Lin Xian called out to him:
"Why are you so confident in Erzhuzi?"

"It's just two bowls of rice, what's the big deal..."

The big-faced cat looked disdainful:
"We are all brothers, and we should eat from the same pot."

Lin Xian patted his shoulder:

"Your mentality is indeed that of a person who has lived to a ripe old age. No wonder you have such a tough life."

"Of course I'm tough!"

The big-faced cat is very proud:

"Do you know? When I was born..."

"I know." Lin Xian interrupted.

"The reason why this village is..."

"jump over."

Buzz————

Big Face Cat stepped on the accelerator, and the electric truck accelerated suddenly. He looked at Lin Xian with contempt:

"It's so boring to talk to you!"

……

After rushing all the way, the electric truck arrived at Donghai City again amid the roar of the big grizzly bear in the dump truck at the back.

After unloading the goods, Big Face Cat went to find Li Cheng to discuss his daughter's enrollment.

Lin Xian did not go with him, but went directly to the bonfire in the square to find CC. Then, as he wished, he saw Li Ningning coming to the square with a swaddled baby in her arms.

"Is that Li Ningning?"

Seeing Li Ningning's new look, Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Li Ningning, who was originally wearing a black tights and looked like a secret agent, was now wearing a light yellow long skirt and two delicate pigtails that rested lightly on her shoulders.

A complete change of style.

From sexy and charming to sweet and cute style.

"That's more appropriate for her age."

Lin Xian affirmed:
"It seems that Li Ningning in this world is also living a happy life."

"Of course."

CC says:

"After all, she is the daughter of Lord Li, so of course she is the apple of everyone's eye. Do you want to see the baby? We can get closer."

Lin Xian nodded, and walked forward with CC to Li Ningning's side.

"Hi."

Lin Xian waved hello.

Even though he and CC were both familiar with Li Ningning, to Li Ningning, they were indeed strangers.

really.

Li Ningning looked up at the two of them, her eyes full of unfamiliarity:

"Are you...from the village outside? I have never seen you in Donghai City before."

"Yes."

Lin Xian smiled slightly:
"I'm from Face Village."

"Ah~ Face Village."

Li Ningning laughed:
"You have a very powerful village chief, and she has beautiful eyes."

At this time.

The baby in my arms cried out, but then changed his position and fell asleep.

Li Ningning hurriedly coaxed him.

Lin Xian changed the angle and saw the face of the baby in the cradle from the side.

Very fair.

Judging from the facial features, she is almost exactly the same as Li Ningning.

And he also noticed...

This time, Li Ningning's fingers were as white as onion roots, very tender, and no longer had those shocking calluses.

In the second dream, Li Ningning climbed over the wall to pick up garbage every day, and her palms were covered with thick calluses.

Even when Lin Xian took the safe purse from her hand, he felt like he was touching a ball of sandpaper.

In the third dream, Li Ningning, whose parents died as skydiving pioneers, has been secretly practicing skydiving. Long-term exercise has caused his hands to be covered with calluses, thick skin, and roughness.

at last.

In the seventh dream, she can be a normal girl.

at last.

Li Ningning can have a pair of normal girl's hands, delicate and smooth.

"Your sister is so cute." Lin Xian exclaimed.

"Thank you."

Li Ningning was very happy to hear this, even happier than hearing her being praised.

"Have you chosen a name?" Lin Xian asked.

"not yet."

Li Ningning shook her head:

"Dad said I can name my sister, but... I still don't know what to name her."

"You can't think too much about naming things."

Lin Xian began to talk about it on paper:
"I feel that many nice names are simple enough, just like your name... The simpler the name, the more majestic it sounds and the more comfortable it makes people feel."

"On the contrary, if you deliberately use uncommon characters for the sake of being elegant or meaningful, the name will lose its original meaning. Aren't names used to address people and to communicate?"

"So... I think you don't have to be so embarrassed. When you see your sister, like now, what word or name comes to your mind first... maybe you can give her this name."

"Even if it's simple or ordinary, a name that's full of emotion can truly express your wishes and hopes for her." He spread his hands:

"That's what I think, just my humble opinion."

Li Ningning listened.

It feels very reasonable.

Looking up at Lin Xian:

"You seem very experienced. Do you have children?"

"I have."

Lin Xian replied:

"She's also a daughter."

"what?"

CC next to him opened his eyes wide:

"You have children?"

She felt a little weird...

because.

In the three memory fragments about Lin Xian, he had no children, and couldn't he only appear on August 2624, 8?

"When did you give birth to the child?"

CC asked incredulously:

"This is... something that is not in my memory fragments."

Li Ningning was still very curious and continued to ask:
"So what did you name your daughter?"

"Yan Qiaoqiao."

Lin Xian smiled and said:

"But it wasn't me who gave it the name. It was the mother who gave it the name."

"Child's mother?"

CC blinks quickly:

"Eh? No... Yan Qiaoqiao, isn't that the village chief of Lian Village? You are talking nonsense!"

"Yes!"

Li Ningning also realized that she was being fooled. She snorted and looked at Lin Xian:

"You dare to make a joke with Village Chief Yan? Be careful or she will punch you in the head."

Say it.

He made a face at Lin Xian and left with his sister in his arms.

"..."

CC looked at Lin Xian speechlessly:

"Lin Xian, some jokes are okay, but others are not. Since you are from Lian Village, you must know how powerful Village Chief Yan is... If she knew about this joke, she would really twist your head off."

"Hey."

Lin Xian sighed softly, imagining the scene of his head being twisted off:

"Who says it isn't?"

Subsequently.

The two found the Big Face Cat, joined the glorious buffet, and had a great meal.

The big-faced cat still grabbed the grizzly bear's head, dug out an eyeball and handed it to Lin Xian.

"Don't eat."

Lin Xian waved his hand to refuse:

"I promised it that I would not eat its eyes."

"Where's the tongue?"

The big-faced cat put his fat hand into the bear's mouth and pulled out its long tongue.

"Forget it, forget it, just eat it yourself, we'll just have some lamb kebabs later."

Wait until early morning.

The huge amount of lamb skewers were finally grilled. Lin Xian and CC took a handful, left the buffet, sat on the flower bed in the square, and ate under the moonlight.

While eating the sweet chunk of mutton in his mouth, Lin Xian raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky:
“In fact, there are still some regrets in this world.”

He lowered his head and looked at CC:

"Is there any information about Zheng Xiangyue's grandmother in your memory fragments?"

CC nodded:
"He was the mayor of Rhine Village in the memory fragment where you taught me to dance."

"It's her."

Lin Xian said softly:

"In this world, she certainly didn't get to go to the moon as she wished."

"Because Jask was killed, he was replaced by a fake substitute... That substitute naturally won't remember and won't fulfill the agreement with Zheng Xiangyue."

"This fake guy is not even willing to send a bus to Earth every two years, let alone send a spacecraft to the moon just for Zheng Xiangyue."

CC thought for a while:

"If you say so, it's not certain what the situation is on Mars right now. Is it possible that the Mars immigration plan itself is a scam, a show?"

"Or maybe they have no intention of developing Mars at all. They just want to follow history and carry out Jask's immigration plan step by step to conceal their tracks."

Lin Xian ate the last bite of mutton.

Throwing away the willow stick in my hand, I looked down at the ants on the ground, carrying food scraps in groups:
"During this period, I have been thinking about a question. That is... what kind of future is the best future for mankind."

"I originally thought that the future now is the best future, but now I find that this question itself is a false proposition."

"In any era, any world, any future... there are good people and bad people; there are successful people and regretful people; there are victorious people and failed people; there are happy people and sad people."

"It's the same with this world. As far as I can see, most people are happy, but in every corner, Angelica is called a crazy woman, Zheng Xiangyue didn't make it to the moon, Jask died young, and you and I couldn't find the safe."

"So… is there really an answer to this question?"

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"I have no idea how to answer this question, because no matter how I answer it, it seems that the answer is subjective, selfish, and one-sided. Any future that I think is the best must be the worst for someone else... How should I answer this?"

CC listened carefully to what Lin Xian said.

Think about it for a while.

He said slowly:

"Actually, if you asked me this question, I wouldn't think it was so complicated."

She rested her hands on the stone edge of the flower bed and swung her legs:

"I might just tell you straight out—"

“【A future with tomorrow is the best future and the only meaningful future.】”

Lin Xian stood up straight:

"How to say?"

CC tilted his head:
"It just means 'tomorrow' literally. There's no deep meaning to it."

"Look, you've told me and proven it to me so many times that all worlds will be destroyed by a mysterious white light at 2624:8 on August 29, 00."

"If the world is destroyed and humanity is doomed to perish on this day... then there is no point in discussing the future, because humanity has no future at all."

"For example, in this world, they seem happy, but the baby in Li Ningning's cradle will never grow up; Big Face Cat's daughter will never be able to go to school in Donghai City; and Dean Gao Wen's heating system will never be able to get hot water."

"It's not their problem, but the world has ended. They have no chance to see tomorrow, so everything is doomed to be in vain."

"at the same time……"

At this point, CC smiled:
"Actually, I have some selfish motives, because August 8th is my birthday, and I definitely hope that the world won't end today. Even if it's delayed by one day... it would be best if I could celebrate my 29th birthday."

After saying that, she raised her head again, the moonlight reflected in her eyes, and looked at Lin Xian:
"Isn't this idea a bit too greedy?"

Lin Xian met her gaze.

No words were spoken.

He didn't feel greedy.

This is just a very ordinary, very ordinary, extremely ordinary wish.

However, for the Millennium Pillars, they will never celebrate their 20th birthday.

CC is like this.

Chu Anqing is like this.

Zhang Yuqian is like this.

This has been the case for dozens of thousand-year-old piles over the past few hundred years.

They can only live at the age of 19 and can never step into the threshold of 20.

"20 is old."

Lin Xian said softly:

"Twenty is indeed a very meaningful age. Especially for you, maybe twenty is really the most difficult birthday to celebrate."

CC nodded:
"After you reminded me, I also discovered that in all my memory fragments, there is not a single memory fragment in which I am over 20 years old."

"This means that the me in every world died at the age of 19, on the last day of my 19th birthday."

"Actually... these words are easy to say, but sometimes they are very heavy to think about. I am not that old, and life at 19 is very short. If possible... I certainly want to live past 20 and see more of the world."

"By the way, you can get an extra birthday present."

Hear this.

Lin Xian smiled inexplicably and continued as she said:

"If one day you can really celebrate your 20th birthday, what birthday present would you most want?"

He thought CC would think about it.

But I didn't expect...

She blurted out:

"【fireworks】."

Speaking of this word, CC's eyes lit up:
"I would love to receive a firework of my own."

"what?"

Lin Xian was a little surprised.

I never expected this to be the answer.

how to say……

In his opinion, this answer was a bit cliché.

Just fireworks.

Regardless of the era, it is not a rare thing. Even in the current Seventh Dreamland, fireworks craftsmanship exists in large quantities... They are nothing more than variations of gunpowder and artillery shells, and are not difficult at all.

It’s hard to imagine that the birthday gift that CC was so determined about was just a set of fireworks.

“Why fireworks?”

Lin Xian asked in confusion:

"This wish is not difficult at all, why are you so obsessed with fireworks?"

"I am not sure as well."

CC shook his head:
“But I always have this [obsession] in my mind.”

Obsession...

Lin Xian heard this word again.

He suddenly thought of it.

It seems that every person who loses memory has some inexplicable obsession.

For example, Yan Qiaoqiao, who has lost her memory, is particularly obsessed with her parents;

Wei Shengjin is particularly obsessed with his past self;
Angelica, who is particularly obsessed with revenge;
Zheng Xiangyue is particularly obsessed with Rhine Cat;

The blue-eyed village chief is particularly obsessed with his name.

CC certainly never had amnesia.

only……

If there is something like obsession, it is also passed down from generation to generation.

Does that mean that Chu Anqing, Zhang Yuqian, and all the other thousand-year-old piles all have this inexplicable obsession?

So where is the source?
To be honest, Lin Xian didn’t quite understand how happy a fireworks display could make a girl.

but.

He had set off fireworks for Zhao Yingjun and Li Ningning, and they were both very happy.

But only to Chu Anqing...

Think of this.

Lin Xian couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

He thought of what Ji Lin said:

"You always want to do something romantic and loud, right? Like setting off a fireworks display that covers the entire city for Chu Anqing? Lighting up the night sky of Donghai? You clearly know that Chu Anqing will be very happy, but you just don't do it."

I think of what the super artificial intelligence VV said:
"Let's set off fireworks to light up the sky for Chu Anqing! Because girls love to watch fireworks, they are really romantic! For a teenage girl like Chu Anqing, who can resist fireworks that fill the sky?"

Once upon a time, both of them wanted me to set off fireworks for Chu Anqing.

But he refused them all and chose other gifts.

Some times.

some things.

By the time you realize it and react, it's already too late.

Lin Xian let out a long breath, got up from the flower bed, stood on the stone floor, and looked at CC:

"Thank you, CC. I think I know what kind of future is the best one."

"real or fake?"

CC chuckled:
"I just said it casually, don't take it too seriously."

"Do not."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"You are right. If we want to think about the future of mankind, first of all, mankind must have a tomorrow and a future. If there is no tomorrow, what is the point of discussing it?"

“It’s just like your 20th birthday. If you never reach that day, you’ll never get that 20th birthday present. No matter how well you imagine it or how well you prepare, it’s useless.”

"Just like the future of mankind... No matter how good our thoughts are or how many nice words we say, it is better to let time continue to flow and let people see the sun on August 2624, 8."

For a moment, I felt relieved and my thoughts became clearer.

Raise your wrist and check your watch.

Time display...

00:41
The time is almost up again.

But Lin Xian has already got the answer he wanted.

He looked up and looked at CC:

"If one day, the end of the world is no longer an end..."

Lin Xian smiled.

Extend your index finger and point to the sky:
"I will give you the most magnificent fireworks display. And at the first second of 00:42, I will say to you..."

"Happy birthday."

boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
The dazzling white light appeared at the exact moment in time, failing to give the world an extra second, nor allowing CC to celebrate her 20th birthday.

one second.

Not even a second.

……

……

……

In a corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

"That's my answer."

He said softly:
"Genius Club, here I come."
