Chapter 55 Harvest
Lin Xian was a little surprised by CC's attitude.

This was probably the time in all the times we've been together that she was the best, most patient, and most communicative to me.

Maybe it has something to do with what happened between the two of them.

The previous few times we met, we were either enemies or had our own ulterior motives, or we were always quarreling, so it was difficult to have the opportunity for such a peaceful communication.

But this time everyone’s identities are different.

Everyone is united because of a common goal.

Even though he failed to open the safe in the end, he did gain CC's trust.

That's why she was willing to exchange information with me for the first time.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Lin Xian leaned against the unheated safe and slowly told CC about the Lin Xian he knew...

It's actually his own self-introduction.

Starting from my graduation from college and then talking about my daily work, it was just like attending a job interview.

As a result, I had only talked about half of it.

"Okay, you don't have to talk anymore."

CC interrupted him and shook his head:
"The Lin Xian you know should not be the same person as the owner of this safe."

"why?"

Lin Xian didn't understand.

He himself had indeed suspected this before, suspecting that this was not his safe at all.

But even though I was skeptical...I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart.

What if this safe was saved by me in 2032 or 2042? Logically speaking, this is possible.

Because it is now 2022, and it is not time for him to deposit the password in the safe, so he naturally does not know the password.

But unexpectedly, CC immediately concluded that this Lin Xian was not that Lin Xian, and it could not be himself.

"Because... it's too ordinary."

CC sighed:
"In fact, I don't know what the real Lin Xian is like. I don't even know any Lin Xian, but my intuition tells me... it's definitely not the ordinary Lin Xian you know."

"Ok."

Lin Xian spread his hands:
"Well, since you don't want to listen, I won't say anything. Now it's your turn to answer my question, right?"

CC nodded and leaned against the safe:
"I don't even know where to start, but my memory has been very confusing since I was a kid."

"I can't describe the feeling. It's like there are a lot of memories in my mind that don't belong to me, but they are also the life I have experienced. It's like... another life of mine in another world."

"Is it a dream?" Lin Xian asked.

CC shook his head:
"It's not a dream, I'm sure of that. Even though these memories are fragmented and vague, they are all discontinuous and trivial fragments, but I'm sure it's not a dream."

"Is it the feeling of a parallel universe?" Lin Xian asked again.

CC was silent, and nodded in agreement:

"I'm not sure. It's a hard feeling to explain. I went to the doctor and they said it was a kind of paranoia and possibly split personality disorder."

"But those fragmented memories...are so real that it's hard for me to imagine they're just fiction. So I want to prove it."

She turned around and pointed to the safe with Lin Xian's name on it:

"In the fragmented memory, there is a middle-aged man who I have definitely never seen and definitely don't know, with very long messy hair and an exaggerated beard."

Middle-aged people?
long hair?
Big beard?
The image of the strange uncle in the wilderness emerged in Lin Xian’s mind.

"In the memory fragment, the man told me that he left something for me in this safe. He said -"

click!
There was a crisp sound as if a circuit was connected.

Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Shrill alarms sounded all around!
"Shit, the main circuit has been restored, automatically alarming!"

Big-faced Cat Gang was also listening intently, and jumped up as if he had been electrocuted:

"We have to run!"

CC stood up quickly, picked up the mask and turned away.

"No, no, no!"

Lin Xian is most annoyed by people who break chapters, so he quickly grabbed CC:

"Say it! Say it before you run! This one sentence doesn't matter!"

CC turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

“That person said, [If you want to know the past and the truth, go open the safe.]”

"In the memory fragment, he was going to tell me the password, but I don't know why he didn't say it in the end. I'm not sure if it's because the memory fragment is incomplete."

Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Amid the alarm, CC shook off Lin Xian's hand and turned around:
"Ah, one more thing."

She turned around again and smiled for the first time.

It seems as if pear blossoms are blooming between her eyebrows.

Her eyes were curved into lovely crescents, and there were two faint dimples at the corners of her mouth:

"[That man's voice sounds a lot like yours.]"

"That's why I'm willing to cooperate with you today. Otherwise... I wouldn't have come with you at all."

boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
The scorching white light arrived on time.

Burn everything in sight.

……

...bang bang, bang bang...

The bitter cold wind hit the windows.

Lying on the bed in the corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

He lifted the quilt, sat up in bed, and recalled what CC had said in his dream.

Although I didn't open the safe this time...

But elsewhere, the gains were great.

Put on your slippers and get up.

Lin Xian came to the desk and turned on the desk lamp:

"I gained a lot of intelligence from this dream. I must sort out my thoughts."

Pick up the fountain pen.

While the memory of the dream was still clear, Lin Xian wrote down his gains one by one on a piece of white paper:
【1. Changes in time and space are uncontrollable.】

Although this point is simple and easy to understand and there is no need to write it out specifically, Lin Xian still suffered a real loss.

He always thought that using future resources to change reality and rewrite the future would only benefit himself and make the future develop in a good direction.

But this is not the case.

"Future changes are uncontrollable... It's very likely that you will end up shooting yourself in the foot."

He took this lesson to heart.

Next time you attempt to change reality and rewrite the future, you must consider it more and weigh the pros and cons.

[2. When will the change in time and space occur? We need an anchor point that cannot be reversed.]

Lin Xian figured out why the new hafnium alloy and the hibernation chamber filling fluid, both of which were the achievements of Professor Xu Yun, only the new hafnium alloy triggered the space-time butterfly effect while the hibernation chamber filling fluid did not?

The reason lies in a very simple concept -

"Once the water is poured out, it can never be taken back."

Xu Yun has sent samples and information of the new hafnium alloy to the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute.

Then from this time anchor point, no one can stop this product from flowing to all walks of life around the world.

Even if the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute decides to keep it for itself, over the course of 600 years, this material will inevitably leak and be transferred from aerospace to civilian use.

Therefore, from this point in time, the new hafnium alloy has become "water spilled", destined to be irrecoverable, and therefore the changes in time and space occurred as expected.

But the hibernation chamber filling fluid is different.

Now this research result has not been published yet and is still in a "Schrödinger state". Only Xu Yun has the only copy of the paper, and there are many circumstances that can prevent its public publication.

Even Lin Xian himself could say a few words in front of Xu Yun and persuade him to change this public way. Lin Xian believed that Xu Yun would more or less listen to his opinions if he insisted.

After all...Xu Yun did ask for his opinion, and he still respected him on this point.

What's more, Xu Yun's thesis has not been completed yet, so everything is subject to change.

So at present, the hibernation chamber filling liquid has not been poured out and there is still the possibility of being rewritten, so it has not caused changes in time and space.

"Changes in time and space require an anchor point that cannot be reversed... Interesting, I thought it would change in real time."

Lin Xian inexplicably felt that there should be some other rules, laws and the like in the details of the changes in time and space.

【3. CC has memories in her mind that do not belong to her.】

This is difficult to explain at the moment.

But Lin Xian had also experienced the same dream confusion, so it was somewhat understandable.

He was not sure whether CC really had delusions or schizophrenia... Her memory was incomplete, just a bunch of fragments that were incoherent.

And CC took the risk to open the safe just to prove whether this was a delusion or a real memory.

"This... is quite similar to my previous behavior of verifying dreams. It's all for the purpose of getting the truth, an answer."

[4. The middle-aged man with long hair and a big beard in CC's memory fragment has a voice very similar to his own.]

This piece of information is crucial.

"No wonder CC didn't kill me many times before, and she has a mysterious trust in me... It must be because of my voice that made her curious about me."

Lin Xian nodded.

This explains the previous confusion.

CC really doesn’t know himself and has never seen himself.

But her voice was very similar to the man in her memory, so his attitude towards her was not so normal.

"That weird uncle, could it be me?"

Lin Xian inexplicably thought of this possibility...

The main reason was that the dream ended too suddenly, and I didn’t have time to ask CC for some details, otherwise I could have made some judgment.

But at the moment, Lin Xian feels that the possibility is not very high.

"First of all, CC and I live in completely different eras. In normal time and space, we will never meet each other in this lifetime or even in several lifetimes."

"Secondly, there are many people with similar voices. I even feel like her voice is familiar. Plus, CC's memory fragments may not be reliable."

"The last and most decisive point——"

Lin Xian touched his clean-shaven chin and frowned slightly:

"There is absolutely no way I can have long hair and a beard..."

"Absolutely impossible."
