Genius Club.

Chapter 21 Lottery

Chapter 21 Lottery
9 pm.

Gao Yang, who had just finished working overtime, came to Lin Xian's house and lay directly on the sofa:

"Tell me, Lin Xian, what's going on?"

Lin Xian sat across from the coffee table and began to explain in detail...

From when he entered the dream to instigate the rebellion of Big Face Cat, to learning the real cause of death of Big Face Cat's daughter, to knowing that the mysterious organization that killed Cat's father was called the Genius Club, to Big Face Cat robbing a bank in order to get an invitation letter from the Genius Club, to later when he was at work, he saw the invitation letter from the Genius Club at the front desk...

"Uh-huh."

Gao Yang kept nodding, drinking water, thinking, and looking nervous:

"I understood."

"You understand again?"

boom.

Gao Yang put down the water cup and looked at Lin Xian seriously:

"To put it bluntly, it's all about the subconscious mind!"

"The subconscious mind is the scapegoat, right?"

Lin Xian couldn't help but complain:
"Can't decide on quantum mechanics? Can't explain parallel time and space? I've been explaining it to you for so long, and you're still using the word subconscious to brush me off?"

"It's not the same thing!"

Gao Yang interrupted Lin Xian and explained:

"I was anxious to watch the World Cup last time in the bar, so I didn't explain it to you very clearly. But in fact, the subconscious mind is much more complicated than you think!"

"Please explain it in simple terms."

"Many times, you forget what you saw and heard the moment you turn around. But have you really forgotten it? Actually, no! Your subconscious mind still remembers it for you. This is the feeling of déjà vu and déjà vu that often occurs in life."

Lin Xian stood up and waved his hand:
"That's ridiculous. Go write a novel. I don't want to listen."

“This is really not metaphysics!”

Gao Yang pulled Lin Xian back to the sofa again and extended his index finger:

"I'll give you an example and you'll understand!"

"Tell me."

"Have you ever heard a song or a melody that you felt was very familiar and that you must have heard it before, but you just couldn't remember when you heard it."

“This is indeed the case.”

"Have you ever seen a stranger and felt like you've seen him before? Have you ever seen an unfamiliar scene and felt like it was familiar?"

“Well… sometimes it happens.”

"You meet a lot of people every day when you go to work on the subway. You have had many classmates since childhood. You have obviously seen their faces, but can you remember the appearance of each person accurately now? It won't take too long. Can the subway passengers this morning remember it?"

"Of course not. Who would remember?"

Snapped!
Gao Yang slapped his thigh! He pointed his index finger at Lin Xian’s forehead:

"Isn't this right!"

"Human memory is actually a very unreliable thing. The more distant the memory is, the less real it is. But the [subconscious] is different!"

“There are many things that you may forget, but your subconscious mind will never forget them! These include people you have met, music you have heard, and places you have been to. Therefore, you often have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if you have seen, heard, or been there before.”

"So, let me summarize——"

"You must have heard the name Genius Club somewhere before! Even if it was whispered in the elevator or a flashing advertisement on the subway... In short, you must have heard it, so you dreamed about it."

……

Lin Xian looked at Gao Yang in confusion:

"Where did you learn all this stuff? What subconscious déjà vu... and you do it so well."

“Hahaha, this one.”

Gao Yang stroked his stubble:

"I learned it from that psychiatrist's circle of friends. Do you remember? I showed you her circle of friends last time."

Lin Xian no longer dwelled on this point:

"But your explanation doesn't answer my core question at all... What I'm struggling with is not the fact that I dreamed about the Genius Club, but [why things in dreams appear in reality]."

"I just dreamed about the Genius Club last night, and just heard Big Face Cat talk about such a thing as an invitation letter, and it appeared right in front of me this morning! Do you think this makes sense?"

"That makes sense."

Gao Yang took out his cigarette case and put a cigarette in his mouth:
"Many people have had precognitive dreams, but they are mostly coincidences."

Lin Xian smiled disdainfully:

"How can it be such a coincidence? I have already set up the background story of the Genius Club in my dream!"

"And I've also read the advanced math textbook in my dream. The formulas in it are exactly the same as those in the advanced math textbook in reality. You know I never studied advanced math in college. You can't say that my dream is better than Gauss's, right?"

"So what?" Gao Yang disagreed:
"You don't think your dreams can accurately predict the future, do you? Or do you think your dreams are real, the future world 600 years later?" "Don't tell me, I really doubted it."

……

The two looked at each other and neither spoke.

"Row."

Gao Yang lit a cigarette with a lighter, then reached into his pocket:
"You said your dreams can predict the future, right?"

"I'm just saying it's possible."

Snapped!
Gao Yang placed a small red and white piece of paper on the coffee table.

"what is this?"

"Football lottery." Gao Yang exhaled a puff of white mist:
"Tonight at 3am, the Qatar World Cup semi-final, Argentina vs Croatia."

"Go to sleep now and dream. Find out the result of this game in your dream. When you wake up at 00:42, tell me who won!"

Gao Yang flicked the ash off his cigarette, smiled, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Didn't you say your dream was [the real world 600 years in the future]? Then give it a try!"

……

Lin Xian picked up the lottery ticket.

It says 3am, Argentina vs. Croatia.

This lottery ticket was bought for 100 yuan. The odds of Argentina winning are 2.3. If Argentina really wins, this lottery ticket can be redeemed for 230 yuan.

indeed.

If you want to verify whether your dreams can accurately predict the future... the result of a football game is still very convincing.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Lin Xian turned around and walked into the bathroom, and began to wash up:

"Keep your voice down in the living room and don't disturb my sleep."

"Look carefully!"

Gao Yang shouted in the living room:

"It's better to write down the scores and everything! If we buy the scores directly, the odds will be higher and we can make more money!"

"…Whether you can find it in your dreams is another matter. Don't hold out too much hope."

"You can find a computer and search the Internet! This kind of thing can be found in a second on the Internet."

"I've tried it a long time ago. What do you think I've been doing for the past twenty years?"

Lin Xian rinsed his mouth and spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth:

"When I first learned about lottery in middle school, I found a computer in my dream and wanted to search for the lottery numbers of that year."

"The results of it?"

"I couldn't find anything!" Lin Xian said as he applied facial cleanser.
"It's not just the lottery. I can't find any current political news or stocks in our era... The Internet in my dream is just garbage. I can't find any useful information."

"That's it..."

Gao Yang tore open a bag of snacks, turned on the TV, and lowered the volume:

"Logically, there shouldn't be no trace of information on the Internet. But... when I think about the fact that this is a fictional dream, it makes sense."

Lin Xian wiped his face clean:
"I don't think my dream is that simple. There are too many things in it that are beyond my understanding."

"Facts speak louder than words! Go and dream!"

After washing up, I walked into the bedroom.

Lin Xian turned off the lights, went to bed, and wrapped himself in the quilt:
"Set off."

……

call! !

The familiar summer breeze blew by, and Lin Xian opened his eyes.

It is still the familiar square, the familiar noise, and the familiar cicadas.

Lin Xian looked at the familiar crowd in the square. The time on the electronic signboard showed:

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

【21: 54】

"Um……"
