Genius Club.

Chapter 465 CC's Verification (Additional update for Silver Alliance 37 Tianxia Wushuang!)
"impossible."

Jask shook his head:

"Absolutely impossible."

In the end, Lin Xian did not go for barbecue with Gao Yang, but took a special car to the Tesla Gigafactory to find Jask, who had not left Longguo yet.

After listening to Lin Xian's judgment, Jaske laughed and was very worried about Lin Xian's mental problems:

"Lin Xian, have you been mentally stimulated by something? Or did you read some fantasy novel and suddenly have this sudden inspiration?"

"Your suspicion in this section makes me feel very strange. First you suspected that Copernicus faked his death, and now you suspect that Einstein faked his death... Hahahaha, sorry, this joke is too funny. I have received professional training in facial expression management, and usually I will not laugh unless I can't help it."

"Einstein's brain has been sliced ​​and studied for so many years, how could he not be dead? Moreover, Einstein was born in 1879. If he were alive today, he would be almost 140 years old. Normally, it is impossible for someone to live to this age."

"Not to mention, the president of the Genius Club, the old man wearing the Einstein mask, has a clear mind and is very articulate. Do you think he looks like a 140-year-old? Even if you said that the president of the Genius Club was replaced, I would believe it. But you said that he is Einstein himself... It's really ridiculous."

Lin Xian sat down opposite Jask and asked:

"Then why does he forbid us from asking questions related to the Genius Club itself?"

"If he was really just an admirer of Einstein, or simply borrowed Einstein's mask, why would he list the specific time, method, and future direction of the establishment of the Genius Club as prohibited matters?"

"Honestly, I don't think there is anything to hide about the founding time of the club. Since he founded the club, why can't he tell us this history openly?"

Jask smiled.

Wave your hands:
"Actually, there's no need to dwell on this question. Isn't it easy to verify? How about this—"

“【At the party on September 9st, I will help you verify this question!】”

Jask said righteously:

"At the party the day after tomorrow, aren't you planning to verify whether Copernicus is dead or not? Then I'll help you verify Einstein's question."

"Let me ask this. I ask, 'Where are the ashes of the famous physicist Albert Einstein scattered?'... How about this question? This is an unsolved mystery in the world! Only Einstein's children know, but now his children have passed away. It seems that there is no way to know the answer, but the president must know."

"I am also curious about the answer to this question. If the president tells you the specific location where the ashes are scattered, you will feel relieved, right? It is impossible for the ashes to be scattered and the person is still alive, unless he is a ghost."

Lin Xian nodded:
"That's fine, just ask."

"Although I am suspicious, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, because our enemies are more difficult and cunning than each other, so it's better to be on guard."

……

The next day, on August 2024, 8, Tam Bank ended its nearly half-year trial operation and began formal operations.

The ceremony was grand and many media were invited to publicize it.

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun were naturally also present to congratulate Brother Wang on finally realizing his childhood dream.

Brother Wang excitedly held Lin Xian's hand:

"Thank you so much, Lin Xian! Don't worry, I have written everything you told me into the rules and regulations. The rules that Tam Bank must abide by even if it goes bankrupt are -"

“每100周年庆时，都要用租借尽可能多的飞艇在东海市上空宣传！不管是100周年庆、200周年庆、甚至600周年、800周年……都必须用气球飞艇在天空飞上一整天！”

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said nothing.

It is certainly a good thing that this tradition can continue.

Unfortunately……

The super disaster in 2400 swept the world. Not to mention Taimu Bank, even Donghai City was razed to the ground, and the world's population dropped by 95%... The airship was destined to not be able to fly.

But if the super disaster in 2400 can be prevented, then everything will be fine. This is also one of Lin Xian’s future goals.

This evening.

It seems that God helps Taim Bank.

The United States and the European Union jointly issued a statement that mass-produced hibernation capsules are officially on sale and major hibernation capsule bases have also begun operations.

The United States also joined many countries in signing the "Hibernation Act (Draft)". Although the draft is bound to have many imperfections, as the first hibernation law in human history, its appearance also officially announced the arrival of the hibernation era.

On the Longguo side, major official agencies also issued announcements saying that the mass production of Longguo's hibernation capsules and the opening of hibernation bases will be completed by the end of 2024, and relevant hibernation laws will be introduced at the same time.

2024 is the first year of hibernation in the true sense.

Just as Brother Wang had expected at the beginning, the hibernation capsules soon arrived at ordinary people's homes, and Tam Bank's business began to grow explosively.

After Lin Xian finished dealing with the trivial matters in reality, he could finally enter his dream to look for CC and verify the relationship between the Millennium Pile and the nightmare.

He finished lunch early, filled the Pomeranian VV's room with dog food, lay down on the bed in the guest room, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

……

……

After falling asleep.

Lin Xian followed the original route and completed the task perfectly. He brought Xu Yiyi and CC to join the Face Gang, and then came to Gawain's underground laboratory with the four members of the Face Gang.

After agreeing with Gawain and deciding where to continue memorizing the blueprints, Gawain turned around to prepare.

Lin Xian also asked CC about the nightmare.

"what?"

CC was surprised when listening to Lin Xian's description:
"I don't dream."

She blinked:
"I never dreamt of these things, nor did I notice them."

"Never dream?"

Lin Xian didn't quite believe it:

"It's unlikely. How could someone not dream?"

He looked at Xu Yiyi:

"Do you usually dream?"

"Of course."

Xu Yiyi replied:
"I just forget the dreams I had very quickly. I have grown up and except for a few dreams that I remember clearly, I can't remember the rest of the dreams I had."

Lin Xian spread his hands and looked at CC:

"You see, here's the problem."

"It's not that you don't dream, it's that you forget too quickly! Believe me, this is definitely the case. I have experience."

"Oh."

CC responded casually, not taking it seriously:
"Maybe. I always thought that I slept too deeply. Anyway, I have no memory of dreaming at all. So...what do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. Just follow my instructions."

Lin Xian looked left and right, thinking:

"First, we both need to find a place to sleep."

???

moment.

Everyone in the underground laboratory widened their eyes.

What the hell, what kind of vicious words are these?
So direct!

Xu Yiyi blushed even more, was stunned, and pricked up her ears to eat the melon.

"Bastard!"

The big-faced cat slapped him:
"Rule 27 of the Face Gang! A rabbit cannot eat grass near its nest!"

Lin Xian retreated and avoided:

"Are you sure you can remember the first 26? You obviously made them up on the spot!"

"Shut up! You shameless pervert!"

Ah Zhuang shouted and looked at Lin Xian with contempt:

"I have never seen anyone so shameless!"

"Scum!"

Two pillars and one waist:

"I propose that this scum be expelled from the Facebook page immediately!"

The three fat men have wise eyes and frowns:

"I don't think so!"

Hey.

Lin Xian sighed.

He was really tired of the crosstalk performances that were indispensable every time he fell asleep, and dealing with this group of people from the Face Gang was extremely tiring.

"That's not what I meant. Can you guys please let me finish my words?"

Lin Xian looked at the four people with a displeased look:
"Besides, this is between CC and me, what does it have to do with you?"

He turned to look at CC:

"What I want to say is——"

"I understand your idea."

CC said directly:

"Since you clearly said that I forgot too quickly, then I understand. You must want to suddenly shake me awake while I'm dreaming, and then immediately ask me about my dream... This way you can verify whether I really don't dream."

Lin Xian gave her a thumbs up:
"You're smart, and... I feel like you're gradually becoming more considerate."

I still remember that in the second dream, I was riding a motorcycle with CC. When I got a little closer to her, CC thought I was taking advantage of her and mocked me.

Now, I can actually understand my own intentions directly.

It's really becoming more and more considerate.

"Can I borrow a room?"

Lin Xian looked at Gao Wen.

Gao Wen nodded and pointed upwards:
"Go to the building above. There are guest rooms inside."

Subsequently.

Lin Xian and CC came to a small room. It was very crowded. Apart from a bed, there was only a set of table and chairs.

boom.

With the door closed, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.

The narrow space, the single man and the single woman, made Lin Xian feel very awkward:
"Or I'll let Yiyi come."

He pointed outside the door:
"Anyway, I just need to wake you up and ask you what you dreamed about. I don't have to be here... It's the same as Yiyi being here."

"Haha, this is not like your style."

CC smiled inexplicably:
"Why in this world... have you become guilty?"

"I have no regrets."

Lin Xian spread his hands generously:
"I'm a gentleman, I don't have anything to be ashamed of. I'm here to do a scientific verification experiment, I'm mainly worried that you will be embarrassed."

"Humph."

CC snorted and lay down on the bed.

She turned over, facing the wall, with her back to Lin Xian:
"Be quiet, I'm going to sleep."

……

Lin Xian sat on the chair, staring at CC's thin back and listening to her constantly changing breathing frequency.

obviously.

She wasn't asleep at all.

Normal breathing when sleeping is even and steady, and CC was obviously a little restrained. She lay motionless in bed and had not moved since she first turned over to bed.

"You can move a little."

Lin Xian reminded in a low voice.

"No."

CC turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"How can I sleep if you keep staring at me like this?"

"Then I have nowhere to go."

Lin Xian looked around the narrow room:
"This place is so small, I either have to face you or the wall. You can't ask me to sing a song or tell you a story to put you to sleep, right?"

puff-

CC was amused:
"Then tell me a boring story."

She turned over, continued to face Lin Xian with her back, and closed her eyes:
"The more boring the better. Just treat it as hypnosis."

"..."

Lin Xian encountered a challenge.

There were many interesting stories, but boring stories...stumped him.

“The Daughter of the Sea.”

Lin Xian said:

"Have you heard this story?"

Lin Xian had just read this story from Andersen's fairy tales some time ago. He read it slowly and carefully, so he remembered it very clearly.

This was probably the most hypnotic story he could think of.

"What is that?" CC asked.

"A fairy tale."

Lin Xian smiled:
"A childish story for little kids."

"Okay."

CC changed his position, lying more comfortably, and said softly:

"It sounds... really childish."

after that.

Lin Xian leaned back in his chair and slowly told the fairy tale of the Little Mermaid according to his memory.

The little mermaid in his mind turned into a yellow bird.

Talking and talking.

Getting slower and slower, getting heavier.

Finally, the story is over.

The little mermaid turned into a bubble, flew into the sky, talked with the daughter of the sky, gained the love of mortals, embraced the immortal soul, and stepped into a more beautiful and higher heaven.

There was a long silence.

Lin Xian and CC, both of them remained silent.

But Lin Xian knew she was not asleep.

Gradually, CC sighed, his tone a little tired:
"The story of the prince and princess is really the same no matter how many years it is told."

"[It's either a happy wedding or a sad farewell. There doesn't seem to be anything in between.]"

Lin Xian raised his head:
"Because they are a prince and princess, they are destined to be special and destined not to be ordinary."

CC chuckled and closed his eyes:

"So...it's just a fairy tale."

Her voice was a little ethereal.

Lin Xian said nothing more.

He looked at CC's back as he turned sideways, which became relaxed and rose and fell slowly.

The breathing is weak and regular.

actually……

Really fell asleep.

“Amazing bedtime story.”

Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh at the power of fairy tales.

He just stared at CC silently.

According to the techniques in Zhang Yuqian's videotape, when one frowns or breathes rapidly, it means that one is beginning to have a nightmare, and shaking the person awake is more effective at that time.

but.

Lin Xian waited for half an hour, and CC's breathing was always so calm, without the slightest disorder.

This also made Lin Xian a little suspicious.

You can't...

She really doesn't have nightmares, does she?

No reason.

Both of the thousand-year-old piles I have come into contact with have nightmares, so there is no reason why CC would not have dreams.

"Forget it, just give it a try."

Lin Xian stood up, pulled CC over with force, and suddenly woke her up.

CC was very alert and opened her eyes wide, trying to push Lin Xian away with her backhand, but Lin Xian was quick and quickly held her hands down:

"Quick! What did you dream about!"

Lin Xian knew that time was running out, so he urged:

"Tell me what you dreamed about!"

CC was lying on the bed, looking at Lin Xian above him, his eyes full of disbelief:

"you……"

"I?"

Lin Xian was very confused:
"You saw me?"

CC nodded blankly:
"blue……"

"[You with blue eyes.]"

……

Then, Lin Xian released the hand that was holding CC.

CC rubbed his wrist, sat up from the bed, tidied his hair, blinked, and looked at Lin Xian:

"What did I just say?"

"Don't you remember?" Lin Xian asked.

CC shook his head:
"I don't remember. I just remember that I was dazed and said a few words to you. I don't remember what I dreamed about... Now I even feel like I didn't dream at all."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Let's go out first. I'll tell you everything I know when I figure it out."

In a few hours, the world will be destroyed by white light. There is no point in telling CC now. Besides... Lin Xian himself hasn't thought this matter through.

Let’s analyze this a little bit.

What CC dreamed about was completely different from what Zhang Yuqian dreamed about.

What Zhang Yuqian dreamed about was something very montage and complicated, like a movie storyboard flashing by quickly.

CC's dream is much simpler...

Blue-eyed self.

How should we understand this?

If CC just dreamed about herself, that is normal and can be explained; because there are many fragments of memories about herself in her mind, and it is not surprising that she dreams about herself at night.

but.

【Blue eyes】

This is standard for time travelers.

This means that CC dreamed about himself as a time traveler!

That's a big problem.

Lin Xian had a headache.

I have absolutely no idea where my thoughts should go.

Because there is no way to be sure whether what CC dreamed about is real.

If it is true as Gao Yang said, that the dreams of the Millennium Pile are all mixed and disordered montages, just like a kaleidoscope, randomly pieced together, then there is really no point in analyzing it.

But if the dream of the thousand-year pile is all about real history...

Could it be.

What CC dreamed about was that he was a time traveler and traveled back to the past?
Not impossible.

only……

What era or generation are you from?
"I need more information."

Lin Xian said softly.

……

Over the next three days, every time he fell asleep, he would bring CC here to sleep, repeatedly wake her up, and ask her about the content of her dreams.

I thought I could get a few more keywords.

But things backfired.

Even though I asked CC in different ways every time, and even told her the answers in advance so that she would pay more attention to the details, CC always said the same thing after being woken up...

"It's you... you with blue eyes."

Then when she got up, she remembered nothing.

It was exactly the same as Zhang Yuqian's situation, she forgot everything as soon as she woke up.

"But the content of the dream is a little hard to explain."

Today is August 8st, 31 o'clock at night.

Lin Xian sat in the study, waiting for the monthly gathering of the Genius Club, but he still couldn't figure out the connection between Zhang Yuqian and CC's dream.

Zhang Yuqian’s dream, with its mushroom cloud, explosion, and Einstein, was very confusing.

CC’s dream, about himself as a time traveler with blue eyes, is even more baffling.

At first glance.

There seemed to be no connection between the two dreams.

Take a closer look.

It seems not.

Unless you force yourself to imagine, you won't find any convincing clues.

"Another point."

Lin Xian suddenly thought:

"Although Zhang Yuqian would forget the content of her dreams, she still retained the feeling of fear and terror. So even if she forgot the contents of her dreams within a second or two after waking up, she was still very clear that she had a 'nightmare'."

"But CC is different. She has never said that she has nightmares, which means that the content of the dreams does not have a great impact on her emotions. They are either 'good dreams' or 'normal dreams'. In short, they are definitely not nightmares."

"This is probably why CC has never cared about the content of her dreams or whether she really dreamed, because dreams have little impact on her life and emotions, far less than the impact of memory fragments."

This is also a very strange thing.

[Why is it that among all the millennium piles, only CC has memory fragments? What is so special about her? ]

squeak-

The door of the study room opened and Zhao Yingjun walked in.

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at her lower abdomen:

"Why hasn't it swelled up yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Yingjun also touched her belly:

"It's been less than two months, so it's normal that I can't see any changes. In fact, I can feel the changes myself, but you just don't observe me enough."

"I will observe carefully in the future."

Lin Xian patted the VR glasses on the desk:

"Everything is slowly being resolved, and we may get the best news after today's meeting."

"You should get some rest early, Yingjun. Didn't we agree to go to the capital to meet your parents and discuss marriage tomorrow?"

"Marriage is a major event in life. I suggest you think about it carefully. Traveling to get married or not having a wedding... I still think it's too hasty. There should be a sense of ceremony, right?"

Zhao Yingjun walked behind Lin Xian.

He put his arms around Lin Xian's neck and chuckled:
"The romance and sense of ceremony you've given me are already enough. Besides, marriage is a matter between two people, so why do you need to make a big show for others to see?"

"More importantly... I already have a baby, so I can just skip the wife step and jump straight into the role of mother. Compared to the joy and anticipation of welcoming a baby, I really don't think the wedding matters anymore. Who made me move on to the next stage in advance?"

"Compared to performing a secular wedding for others, I would rather have a trip that belongs only to the two of us. I have already thought of the location."

After a pause, Zhao Yingjun said:
"[Copenhagen]."

Lin Xian covered the back of Zhao Yingjun's hand with his right hand, held it, and smiled slightly:
"You're not going to be jealous of yourself, are you?"

"How is that possible? I'm not that stingy."

Zhao Yingjun stood up and ruffled Lin Xian's hair:
"I just think... shouldn't we go to the Little Mermaid statue and let the Yellow Bird see how happy we are now?"

"Huang Que's biggest regret is that she couldn't keep her Lin Xian and couldn't accompany her Yu Xi. But now, with her help, we have all this, and I think we should thank her."

"Perhaps, this is the scene that Huang Que wants to see the most. We will make up for her regret."

Lin Xian nodded:
"But traveling and the wedding don't conflict. The main thing is whether your parents agree?"

"They're dying to do it."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"The current system advocates simple weddings and funerals, or even no weddings at all, and sets an example by eliminating extravagance and waste. My parents support us in this simple way to complete the major event of our lives. On the contrary... in their circle, they are very opposed to the kind of lavish weddings. Everyone is very low-key, and sometimes a wedding is considered a marriage when the two families have a meal together."

"People usually want what they lack the most. They already have too much of things like appearances and face. They don't need an exaggerated wedding to prove anything to everyone."

"really."

Lin Xian expressed his understanding:

"This is completely different from what my parents think. My parents think that this kind of thing should be celebrated in a big way, as grandly as possible, and widely publicized."

"But my parents still respect our opinions. I personally don't want to have a big celebration, mainly because..."

He pursed his lips and said softly:
"The main thing is that I feel that I still have a lot of things to accomplish and a lot of promises to keep."

"Take your time to think about it. I'll listen to you."

Zhao Yingjun walked out of the study:
"I've warmed up a cup of milk for you in the kitchen incubator. Remember to drink it after the meeting. I'm going to bed now, so I won't wait for you."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xian responded:
"Good night, see you in my dreams."

He was suddenly startled.

These words came out of his mouth casually. He had never said them before. They were entirely due to the influence of CC's dream.

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun who walked out of the study:

"Do you usually dream about me?"

"I haven't dreamed about it much in the past two months."

Zhao Yingjun said:
"Because I know you are at home and right beside me, there is no need to dream about you. This is probably subconscious."

"But before that..."

She turned around and smiled:
"You are a frequent visitor in my dreams."
