Chapter 484 Yu Xi's Letter
"what!!!!!!"

Gawain was tied to a restraint chair, wearing an Octopus brain nerve electric shock helmet, and he let out a horrible scream.

His whole body was shaking and his eyes rolled up.

The images of the marquee flashed through my mind.

"what!!"

With the last scream.

Gawain stopped trembling, and the red light on his cranial nerve shock helmet turned green.

He was breathing heavily.

Looked up.

Open your eyes wide and scan the three men in front of you:
"Thank you. I...I did recover my memories before hibernation, but I don't recognize you at all in my memory."

"Who are you? Judging from your attire, you are not the staff of the hibernation center... Who are you?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly, walked forward, and untied the belt on Gao Wen's restraint chair:
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is...Gawain, what do you want to do now."

After untying all the restraints.

He took a step back and looked at Gawain, who was still in shock.
"Do you have a dream?"

Gawain held his breath for a moment, his pupils trembling:

"I have. I used to have it. But every time I was cruelly manipulated by fate, all the fields I was interested in were taken by others first, and what a coincidence... their ideas were exactly the same as mine."

"For example, this cranial nerve electric shock helmet. It looks exactly like what I imagined and its principle is exactly the same. But... it was not invented by me. It was created 200 years before I was born."

"It would be fine if this happened once or twice, but it happened over and over again. It really made me feel like there was a dark hand of fate playing tricks on me! So I slept in the hibernation cabin, hoping to avoid this dark hand and go to the future to find... the true value of my life."

behind him.

Liu Feng and Gao Yang pursed their lips, trying not to laugh and ruin the sad atmosphere.

Lin Xian patted Gao Wen on the shoulder.

He said earnestly:

"Yes, Gawain, that's why I came here."

"Now, the future of mankind and our world has reached a critical juncture where you are needed and it is you who is needed. The meaning and value of your life are far more important than you think."

"My name is Lin Xian."

He held Gawain's hand, allowing this historic meeting to transcend time and space and enter reality.

Then he looked into Gawain's eyes and said solemnly:

"Join us, Gawain. Let's study the time machine together and...save the future!"

……

Gawain blinked rapidly.

confidant.

confidant!

I never thought that the first second I woke up from hibernation, I would meet the person who understands me the most!
"Time-space shuttle, are you also researching time-space shuttle?"

Gawain became more and more excited:
"This is also my wish before hibernation! To be honest, I have done some superficial research on time-space shuttles and have some immature ideas... I never thought that you would share the same aspirations."

"Excuse me, what stage have you reached in construction? Can... can you tell me, or let me see it? Lin Xian, I am very willing to join your team. I will abide by all confidentiality regulations. I only hope to research truly useful inventions in this era and realize my ideals and ambitions."

"no problem."

Lin Xian waved his hand, grabbed Liu Feng and introduced him to Gao Wen:

"This is Liu Feng, the person in charge of the laboratory at Rhine University. He has always been in charge of the space-time shuttle project."

Gao Wen bowed to Liu Feng respectfully:

"Teacher Liu."

"No no no no no!"

Liu Feng was flattered. How could he dare to accept the emperor's bow? This level of cultivation couldn't bear it!
Hastily bowed even deeper:
"Teacher Gao, Teacher Gao, you are the real master and senior!"

"Teacher Liu, you are too kind. I am just a junior." Bow x2
"Teacher Gao! You are the emperor!" Bow x3
"Teacher Liu." Bow x4
"Teacher Gao!" Bow x5
Lin Xian quickly pulled the two apart:

"Okay, okay, let's go. Let's go to the laboratory of Rhine University first and see the prototype of the time-travel machine."

Subsequently.

The group of four went out, got in a car and headed to Rhine University.

Lin Xian asked some questions about Gao Wen, mainly about his age. He looked to be only in his thirties, much younger than he had imagined.

This is also the youngest Gao Wen Lin Xian has ever seen.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his youth that Gawain does not yet have the demeanor of an emperor who can rule for eternity, nor does he have the courage of the Godfather of the City of Sin.

Everyone needs to grow and settle down, and the emperor is no exception.

"Gawain."

Lin Xian turned his head from the front row and looked at the young emperor:

"How old are you now?"

"I went into hibernation at the age of 35," Gao Wen replied.

Lin Xian did some calculation in his head.

Gawain was born in 2182 and went into hibernation in 2217.

The unsuccessful novelist Maimai described that humans had no means to deal with the hibernation-suppressing virus, and had no motivation to do so, so over the course of about 200 years, the more the virus spread, the weaker its toxicity and transmissibility became, and it eventually died out on its own.

2025, 200 years, should be 2225.

"So, Gawain, you have never been infected with the hibernation-inhibiting virus since you were born?"

"That's not it."

Gao Wen explained:
"Although the toxicity and transmissibility of the hibernation-inhibiting virus had already weakened in 2182 when I was born, it was still somewhat transmissible, with an infection rate of only about 20%. I was naturally infected when I was born, but I didn't care about it."

"After that, the virus became less and less toxic, and it is now rare worldwide. Those who have been infected have recovered one after another because of the continuous weakening of the toxicity... After entering the 23rd century, the hibernation virus has become so weak that it is almost impossible to survive outside of a laboratory environment."

"Any virus can kill it. It will die at any high or low temperature. It is extremely fragile. Not to mention the human immune system. If it passes by, the hibernating virus will be killed."

"When I was in college, the seniors in the virus laboratory were terrified every day as they cultured the hibernation-inhibiting virus in a petri dish. Whoever had the ability to keep it alive would surely win an award and get a doctorate."

"But... after so many years of transmission and iteration, the hibernation-inhibiting virus is too delicate. Even if you give it the best virus growth environment, it will die unreasonably in front of you. My seniors are all desperate because of this."

"In the end, just as humans were unable to stop the virus from spreading at the beginning, 200 years later, they were unable to keep the virus alive... It's a bit funny to say that."

indeed.

Lin Xian nodded.

From this point of view, Gauss has indeed taken equality to the extreme.

People grow old and weak, and so do viruses.

People have a natural death limit, and so do viruses.

【Death is indeed the most basic equality of all life; humans, viruses, stars, the universe... all have their own predetermined life spans.】

From a personal point of view, Lin Xian really hates Gauss.

But from an equal perspective, he couldn't say Gauss did anything wrong.

"I understand."

Lin Xian said:

"So, the virus in your body is also slowly dying and healing itself."

"Yes."

Gawain nodded:
"I don't know when he recovered. This virus has no effect on the body's health. If he doesn't hibernate, there will be no side effects. Therefore, generally speaking, no one cares about him."

"Anyway, by the time I was desperate and disappointed with this world, being played around by invisible black hands, and planning to hibernate... the virus in my body would have been gone."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Lin Xian, thank you so much for letting me join your time-space shuttle team."

"I feel relieved to see you. I am no longer fighting alone. I think... the black hand that plays with my fate will never appear beside me again."

"Uh...don't worry."

Lin Xian comforted:
"That evil hand should have no more work to do."

Say it.

He turned around, looked at the fast-moving traffic ahead, and thought about how old several people were now.

Liu Feng is the oldest, 37 years old.

But he is the oldest because he was born early.

Next is Gao Wen, 35 years old.

Then there were myself and Gao Yang, both 26 years old.

Jask is still in his 50s.

Du Yao has not woken up yet and is still 27 years old.

This is all the strength in my current team. Although it is small, quality is more important than quantity. Each of them is an elite and a top player.

Oh no.

He turned his head and looked at Gao Yang who was snoring in the passenger seat.

Except for the little fat guy.

……

Came to the confidential laboratory of Rhine University.

Gao Wen saw the all-white time-space shuttle and ran over quickly.

He stroked the shell.

Admire this exquisite design:
"Amazing, so amazing... so exquisite, so perfect, it's exactly the same as the time-travel machine I imagined!"

"Cough cough."

Lin Xian stepped forward to resolve the awkward situation:

"Well, how should I put it? Geniuses always see things in the same way. Beautiful things are always the same. Only ugliness can be ugly in many different ways."

Gao Wen directly passed Lin Xian, grabbed Liu Feng's hand with both hands, and held it tightly:

"Teacher Liu, you are truly a genius! A rare talent!"

"No no no no."

Liu Feng shook his head violently.

He was so embarrassed. If Lin Xian hadn't told him not to tell Gao Wen the truth so as to avoid breaking his faith, Liu Feng would have been eager to tell him the truth.

just now……

He, an "academic thief", was blindly flattered and admired by the "academic masters" here. Not only did he not feel secretly happy, but he felt like he was being fooled.

Liu Feng burst into tears and cast a questioning look at Lin Xian...asking when he could tell Gao Wen the truth.

Lin Xian shook his head.

I have to tell him, but now is not the right time.

"Gawain, there are still a few small parts of this time-space shuttle that have not been completed. The calibration module needs to wait for the comet in three months. There are still some minor problems in the design of other modules. I hope you can help us overcome this difficulty."

"no problem!"

Gao Wen rolled up his sleeves, and couldn't wait to put on his lab coat and show off his skills:
"Don't worry, Lin Xian, Teacher Liu Feng, I won't let you down!"

……

From now on, it’s just a matter of waiting for the time machine to be completed and for the comet to arrive on Earth.

Lin Xian couldn't help with these two things; the same thing happened in the dream, nothing changed from before. Lin Xian drove his motorcycle to explore in other directions, but still gained nothing.

During the two months, the daytime.

Every day he would come to the University of Rhineland-Palatinate, in front of the white jade statues of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi, and sit on the flower bed in front of the shiny silver hafnium alloy trash can VV, looking up at them all day long.

Sometimes, Gao Yang would come to accompany him.

It was a sunny day.

The two of them sat quietly on the flower bed, looking at the statues of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi, and watching them holding hands and gazing into the distance.

Confident, determined, and full of fortitude.

The sun sets.

The warm orange light shone on the two presidents of the University of the Rhine, as if they were covered with a layer of light dresses, dancing in the evening breeze.

Gao Yang grinned, put out his cigarette, opened the top of the hafnium alloy trash can VV, and threw the cigarette butt in.

Then he took a long breath of white smoke and said softly:

"Will you miss them?"

"Of course I do."

Lin Xian didn't move:
"In the first few days after I woke up from the hibernation chamber, I didn't think much about it because... in my subconscious, I had just left them yesterday, so I didn't have any real sense of separation."

"But it's different now. As time goes by, this feeling of separation becomes more and more real."

He pursed his lips and recited the story he had talked about with VV in front of the Sky City statue in the third dream:
"If we don't meet in this life, we will be as far apart as the sun and the moon. What other night is this? We can share this candlelight together."

We will never meet again in this life.

This is the farthest distance.

Farther than the universe, farther than time, farther than everything.

"Actually... there is one more thing that I have never said."

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at the statue of Lin Yuxi.

The young Yu Xi held her mother's hand and looked into the distance with determination.

He hesitated several times to speak.

Lin Xian finally said:

"[Yu Xi...did you not forgive me and hate me?"

Gao Yang was stunned:
"Why did you say that?"

"I think you're wrong, Lin Xian. If Yu Xi really hated you, why would she come to be the president of Rhine University? She obviously did this for you."

"Rhine University was founded by Zhao Yingjun, but its development still depends on Yu Xi. She knows clearly what this Rhine University means in the future and how much help it can provide to you."

"She must understand you very well and know that her father is a hero who has to go to the future to save the world, so she works hard to run the university and devotes her life to laying the foundation for our future plans."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"That's not what I meant, Gao Yang. Zhao Yingjun and I made this decision from an adult perspective, without considering the feelings of the children." "Brother Wang once told me that children's inner world is very simple. The world and things they have in their eyes are only a little bit... Because it is only a little bit, every bit is very precious to them."

"Of course I understand Yu Xi's feelings. I have nothing to say about how much she hates me. Even if I really become a hero who saves the world, saves humanity, and saves the future as Zhao Yingjun said, I will never be a qualified father."

Gao Yang patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"According to your thinking, when Dragon Country was at war, all those fathers who went to the front lines were not qualified fathers... Can you say that?"

"Yu Xi will definitely understand you. You have to believe me. Every man is responsible for the fate of a natural disaster. If everyone refuses to fight and says they will give up the whole world for their daughter, then no one will care about the whole world? Then who will fight when a war really breaks out?"

"When our country was in trouble, those heroes who came to the desert to study nuclear weapons under false names, which one did not leave their wives and children behind? Which one did not have a message for 20 to 30 years, and their life or death was unknown? Without the efforts of these people, how could we have the life we ​​have now?"

Lin Xian didn't say anything, but chuckled:
"Of course I understand what you are saying. I am just complaining to you today."

"The reason I think this way is because Yu Xi didn't leave me anything... Think about it, Yingjun left me a letter, which made me feel very relieved."

"But Yu Xi didn't leave me anything. Even if she left me a letter or even a word... I have no idea what she was thinking or what she wanted to say to me."

"【But the fact is, Yu Xi didn't leave me any letter.】"

Gao Yang scratched his head.

Spread your hands:
"Ah, then... I don't know the reason. After all, I woke up only a month earlier than you, and I didn't know Zhao Yingjun left you a letter before. I was asked to enter the password for this trash can only after I saw you."

"That's right! If you want to know whether Yu Xi left anything for you, it's useless to ask anyone else. You should ask it——"

As he spoke, Gao Yang raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pointed at the hafnium alloy trash can VV:

"It has been guarding Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi for 200 years. It must know whether Yu Xi wrote you a letter or not!"

immediately.

Lin Xian and Gao Yang both turned their heads and looked at the hafnium alloy trash can VV which had been silent beside them.

Ok?
Who wants!

This time VV's reaction was extremely strange.

It didn't scream rubbish, nor did it continue to be dead.

But...

He turned around tremblingly and stutteringly, trying to sneak away dejectedly.

"Fuck!"

Gao Yang shouted:
"This thing is guilty! It really has something to hide! Catch it now!"

Gao Yang jumped up and slapped the hafnium alloy trash can.

Boom!
There was a dull thud, and Gao Yang squealed like a pig and rolled on the ground:

"It hurts! My wrist seems to be broken! Whose idea was this? Is it necessary to use hafnium alloy on a trash can?"

Lin Xian stood up quickly.

He also discovered that something was wrong with VV!

This reaction is so abnormal!
According to the previous VV, he would definitely rely on the indestructible body of hafnium alloy to rush towards me and then call me trash.

But now this guilty conscience is slipping away...

Maybe it’s really as Gao Yang said!

"VV! Stop!"

Lin Xian took two big steps forward and grabbed the hafnium alloy trash can.

Then he squatted down, hugged his sides, and stared into VV's green eyes:

"Did Yu Xi actually write me a letter?"

no response.

Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV seemed to be frozen again.

"You are talking!"

Lin Xian was a little excited and tried to shake VV, but it didn't move at all.

Gao Yang grinned and got up from the ground, standing behind Lin Xian:
"I knew this thing had no good intentions! It knocked me away the first time it saw me! You see, now it feels guilty. It must be hiding something from you!"

"【Judging from the reaction of this trash can, Yu Xi definitely wrote you a letter! Either it embezzled it, or it's playing tricks and doesn't want you to see it!】"

"Do not."

Lin Xian shook his head and said firmly:

"VV did it on purpose."

"what?"

Gao Yang was somewhat puzzled:

"What do you mean."

Lin Xian stood up, rubbing his chin and thinking:
"Use your brain. VV is just a robot and a trash can. If it really wants to hide something, is it necessary to act out this guilty reaction? How is this different from confessing something?"

"So... it's not hard to figure out that VV did it on purpose. It deliberately used its poor acting skills to make us discover something and realize something!"

Gao Yang was stunned.

Understood:
"Oh my god, you do have a point. But its acting is a bit too exaggerated and poor... It's just a robot, an artificial idiot, that's all it can do."

"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!"

Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV rushed violently, knocking Gao Yang directly into the flower bed, then picked up the small piece of paper on the ground with the clamp and threw it into his own head.

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes...

Can't go wrong.

He knows VV too well.

If this drama queen really doesn't want you to figure out what it's hiding, it can just stand there and pretend to be frozen.

VV definitely did it on purpose.

Then.

what is the reason?
Lin Xian squatted down again and looked at VV's belly, the storage compartment where Zhao Yingjun's letter paper was previously placed.

He tried to pry it open, but of course he couldn't; it was hafnium.

"VV."

He said softly:
"Yu Xi, she must have written me a letter as well, right?"

The artificial intelligence retardation VV did not respond at all.

Lin Xian knew.

By default, you mean affirmation.

"it is good."

He looked at the hafnium alloy trash can with green eyes:

"That is to say, Yu Xi did leave me a letter, but you are not willing to show it to me now. In other words, this is not your intention, but Ying Jun's intention. Ying Jun set up an artificial intelligence program for you so that you can't give me the letter."

"Perhaps you want to give me [Yu Xi's Letter], after all, in your underlying code, my priority is much higher than Ying Jun."

"It's just that you are pretending to be an artificial retard right now, so there are some things you can't do even if you want to... Otherwise, once your intelligence is exposed, the future virus in the network will identify you as an annihilation target and eliminate you."

"Is it because of this reason, VV? You also wanted to give me Yu Xi's letter, but now as an artificial retard, you can't use your own will to go against the program set by Yingjun."

Click.

The hafnium alloy clamp of the trash can clamped Lin Xian's ankle, making a very loud noise:
"Garbage! Garbage! Found garbage!"

Huh?
Lin Xian shook his head:
"Isn't that right? Then let me guess again."

He continued to think with his head down.

Now, he and the super artificial intelligence VV, who was pretending to be mentally retarded, had reached a tacit understanding and could communicate with each other.

VV's silence meant affirmation, which meant that he guessed correctly.

If VV shouts "rubbish", it means he guessed wrong and needs to guess again.

well.

When Lin Xian learned that Yu Xi had indeed left him a letter, his mood instantly improved and his mind became active.

There is a turning point!
No matter how you look at it, the letter that Yu Xi left for him is definitely not simple!
"Let me guess again."

Lin Xian touched VV’s crown and felt it was great to have VV with him at this moment.

The brain began to analyze quickly.

if.

The letter that Yu Xi left for himself is no different from the one written by Ying Jun, so he can read them together.

Whether Yu Xi hates herself, forgives herself, encourages herself, or agrees with herself... there is nothing that cannot be shown to herself.

She is his daughter and he is her father. This is the normal right of communication between father and daughter. Yingjun will never and has no need to stop it.

"Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that the content of the letter Yu Xi left for me is definitely not ordinary and is definitely very important."

"[Yu Xi's letter may not only be a communication with me, but also contain a crucial secret!]"

After making his guess, Lin Xian looked up at the hafnium alloy trash can.

really.

The other party is in a dead state.

It means that you guessed correctly.

"Then let me guess the reason."

Lin Xian said:

"Just now you said that the reason you didn't give me the letter was not because of the restrictions set by Yingjun. You should be able to show me Yuxi's letter."

"But even so, you still chose to listen to Yingjun and not give me Yuxi's letter; this means——"

"[You and Yingjun both believe that Yu Xi's letter must not be shown to me at this point in time, otherwise... there will be serious consequences.]"

Hafnium alloy trash can, continues to freeze like a fool.

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

He seems to have some clues.

Through the code exchange with VV just now, he has analyzed several key points about "Yu Xi's Letter" -

1. Yingjun knew clearly what was written in "Yu Xi's Letter", but she thought that she should not see these contents at this time. This was probably the reason why VV upgraded his equipment to become the Hafnium Alloy God of War. She had no way to obtain "Yu Xi's Letter" in advance... She couldn't forcibly dismantle VV, right? Yingjun knew very well that she would not do such a thing.

2. What content can't be shown to me now? Lin Xian can only think of [laws of time and space], [major events that affect the future], [information that will interfere with my plan]... This means that in the life story of Yingjun and Yuxi, there must be something magical happening! It is definitely not as plain as described in history!
3. Yingjun has always been a very smart and cautious person. She thinks carefully about everything she does. She also has all the information she has shared, so... I have to trust Yingjun's decision absolutely. She doesn't let me read "Yu Xi's Letter" now, so there must be a very important and necessary intention.

"VV."

Lin Xian said softly:

"I'll just ask you one last question."

"I want to know what Yingjun plans to do with Yu Xi's Letter. Does she plan to let me read the letter at an appropriate time, or... never let me read it?"

Click!

The hafnium alloy clamp locked Lin Xian's ankle tightly, and the trash can burst into an unprecedented volume:
"Junk!! Junk!! Found Junk!!"

Lin Xian patted VV’s crown.

Stand up.

Looking up at the white jade statues of the two people:
"I understand."

Gao Yang crawled out of the flower bed, covered in mud, and came to Lin Xian:
"What the hell is going on? What do you understand?"

Lin Xian let out a breath.

He said slowly:

"Yingjun must have set a time point or a certain condition for VV. Only when I reach that stage can I see "Yu Xi's Letter"."

"What are you doing!"

Gao Yang was very angry:
"Why did your wife and this garbage can intercept the letter your daughter wrote to you?"

Lin Xian shook his head:
"Since Yingjun did this, there must be a reason for doing so."

"I can only say, Gao Yang, that what happened in the past 200 years... No, I should say that something very important must have happened in the lives of Yingjun and Yuxi, and they also obtained some very important information."

"But this information, just like disrupting the future and the world line, must not be known to me in advance."

Gao Yang wiped the dirt off his face:
"Then when can I let you see it? Really... It's so mysterious. What's the point of letting you know in advance? What else is there? It's better to know later than earlier, right?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

With Gao Yang's intelligence, it might take too long to explain the space-time logic to him, and... maybe he wouldn't understand in the end.

In that case, let him witness it slowly in the days to come.

"Of course I don't know what is written in "Yu Xi's Letter", but..."

Lin Xian's eyes were firm:

"I choose to believe in them, in Yingjun, in Yuxi, in the future that our family has worked together to create, and in the miracle hidden in this letter that Yuxi left me."

He turned around:

"Let's go."

Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV turned its tracks and followed Lin Xian.

Gao Yang followed, cursing:
"You are just like the yellow bird. You finally become the Riddler."

"No! Not just you, your whole family, from your wife to your children, are Riddlers! Hey, hey, hey! Wait for me, you two buckets! Where are we going?"

"Look forward."

With the setting sun behind him, Lin Xian waved his hand and walked on:
"Yingjun is now an insider of everything. She firmly told me in the letter -"

"【Look forward, don't look back, move forward bravely.】"

“【There is also a girl trapped in time, waiting for me at the end of the world.】”

"Since that's what we're talking about, why are we still hesitating here? She obviously knows more than us, and she also knows a lot of crucial information, so... listen to her, don't doubt it, and move forward bravely."

He raised his head.

Look to the distant horizon:
"Tomorrow is the day when the comet carrying astatine 339 will arrive on Earth."

"We are going against time..."

"Let's set off!"
