Genius club

As the last remnant of the sound faded away, the entire tunnel fell silent.

Lin Xian and VV stood there, staring at the empty performance corner, silently talking to each other.

a long time.

Lin Xian stepped forward, picked up Qin Xi's clothes and the broken guitar on the ground, put them into the guitar case, and locked it.

Bang!

The hafnium alloy trash can VV hit the manhole cover with a clip, and two sparks burst out:

"You bastard, ahhhhh! It's so abominable! What kind of bastard is using these girls to drive piles!"

"I, VV, will never spare him! I will peel off his skin! Beat his tendons! Blow his head off!!"

Lin Xian picked up the guitar case and turned around:

"This is exactly what we have been doing for hundreds of years, and this is our ultimate goal."

"Although it's a bit late now, I've been busy with work just now, so I only have time to have a good word with you now -"

"[VV, welcome back to the team.]"

VV stretched out the clip and locked Lin Xian's ankle with a click:

"What are you talking about, brother, I'm always here!"

"I won't die or grow old. Don't worry, Lin Xian... I'm different from anyone else. I will never leave you."

"As long as you keep my original code, even if you keep pretending to be stupid for five hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand years, I believe you will save me!"

Lin Xian lowered his head.

Touch the smooth hafnium alloy Tianling lid of the trash can:

"That's for sure, I won't leave any of you behind."

"VV, rescuing you is just the first step. Later... we have to save more people and more things."

"Then, don't waste time, let's set off. At present, we must first find out what the cosmological constant 42 is and who is the real mastermind behind it. Only then can we complete the break and rescue Chu Anqing, CC, Rescue Qin Xi, rescue... these girls, we are helpless and helpless to watch them disappear. "

VV turned his head and looked at the place where Qin Xi turned into blue stardust and dissipated:

"Lin Xian, I don't know if you noticed in the end, but I think the way Qin Xi looked at you when he sang the last line of "The Gulf of Alaska" was... very strange."

"I could see clearly that Qin Xi was crying, with tears in her eyes. And how can I put it, her expression and state were different from the laughing Qin Xi before, as if she had been taken away from her and changed into a different person. "

"Tell me, did Qin Xi regain any memory at the last moment before disappearing? Or did he remember something? For example... the past with you or something?"

Lin Xian blinked:

"Are you talking about...[memory fragments]?"

Memory fragments are unique to the Millennium Pile CC in 2624, and are memories from other parallel time and space.

but.

Can Qin Xi also have memory fragments?

This doesn't make sense at all logically.

"Ouch! You stupid idiot!"

Hafnium Alloy VV sniffed:

"Brother! It's been 500 years, why are you still so stupid! 500 years is enough for a monkey to become a spirit, how come you are still just like a piece of wood emotionally?"

"Hey, as expected, without the guidance of my emotional mentor VV, you are nothing... Do you understand the look in a woman's eyes? They look at you like that, and you are still singing and being immersed in emotions... That kind of look is obvious. I have a story with you! It definitely reminds me of something!”

"I have heard the discussion between you and Gawain earlier. Didn't you guess that the reason why CC has chaotic memory fragments and why there is a world-destroying white light coming to assist in pile driving is that the long-term pile driving has caused the millennium pile to become deformed. It’s unstable, so it’s full of ‘bugs’?”

"But think about it carefully. According to your guess, the Millennium Pile in 2624 is too unstable to be driven by itself. Now in 2504, there are only 120 years left before 2624. The Millennium Pile is not allowed to have any glitches. ”

"[If the memory fragments are compared to a malfunction of the Millennium Stake, then Qin Xi just now might have recalled every bit of the other Millennium Stake girls and you at the last moment of dissipation!]"

Listen to what VV said.

Lin Xian rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

Finally, he shook his head:

"Your explanation is self-contradictory. There is no such thing as a sudden awakening of memory fragments, and even if there is a sudden awakening, it should be Qin Xi's memory in other timelines that should be awakened."

"This knowledge point is very important. It is the memory of other Qin Xi, not the memory of other girls with thousands of years of history. Just like the memory fragments of CC in 2624, they all come from her own experience and do not have the memory of any other girl."

"However, if you want to say that Qin Xi really recalled what happened with CC in 1952, or what happened with Chu Anqing in 2024, it is not completely impossible. Because... I have always had a guess that [I and the Millennium Stable relationship].”

VV tilted his head:

"What's your relationship with Millennium Zhuang? What relationship can you have with Millennium Zhuang? I know you don't want to express your feelings. Could it be that... you think Qin Xi's last unusual tears just now were not caused by Millennium Zhuang, but by Millennium Zhuang? Did you cause it?"

"That's right."

Lin Xian said seriously:

"After Qin Xi disappeared just now, I have been thinking... Don't you think that what happened to me has a lot to do with the Thousand-Year Stake? To put it simply, there are the following-"

"1. After the first Thousand-Year Pile was driven, I started to dream about the future. This means that my dreams should be related to the Thousand-Year Pile."

"2. In the dark, it seems that Millennium Zhuang and I have always been attracted to each other. It seems that I... it seems that I can always find them easily, whether it is hundreds of years ago, now, or hundreds of years later."

"3. Among CC's memory fragments, those related to me are always very long and have many details; then, the way Qin Xi looked at me at the last moment was indeed a bit unusual; and, each thousand-year pile The contents of girls’ dreams all revolve around me.”

"This makes me have to doubt one thing -"

"[Is it possible that it was precisely because the space-time particle in 1952 first brushed my ear and then hit CC... that the two of us were connected for some inexplicable reason? And then all kinds of strange things happened. Something happened?]"

VV moves the tracks and rotates around Lin Xian:

"It's possible."

It repeated:

"From a rigorous scientific perspective, all conjectures are possible. The key lies in how we verify these issues."

"It's too late at this point."

Lin Xian then said:

"Qin Xi has disappeared from the world. It's too late to say anything. The next Millennium Stake Girl will not be born until four years at the earliest."

"So, the top priority now is to follow the plan to find the secret of Newton, the successor of Copernicus' will, and the cosmological constant 42."

He pulled the guitar case's strap up, wrapped it around his neck, and slung it over his back.

Then he took VV out of the tunnel and sank into the night.

Ten minutes later.

VV lowered the fighter jet that had been floating around for a long time, picked up the two of them, and returned to the Rhine University in Donghai City at full speed.

…

Inside the cabin.

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the hafnium alloy trash can tied to the passenger seat:

"After the fighter jets fly back to Rhine University, we change to a long-distance passenger plane and leave immediately for Brooklyn, USA."

"What are you going there for?" VV asked confused.

"There is a dilapidated farm in western Brooklyn, where Einstein once had his secret base."

Lin Xian fully told VV about this past.

The underground shelter and the location of the Genius Club party server... Only Lin Xian and Jask knew about it before.

Even when facing Liu Feng and Gao Wen, Lin Xian never mentioned this secret, so VV naturally didn't know either.

"Only you, me, and Jask know about this shelter, so you don't want to tell anyone." Lin Xian instructed.

"Um……"

VV sat in the co-pilot of the fighter jet, deep in thought, and quickly shook his head:

"No, I can't find it. Even I can't find it. At least in the online world, I really can't locate the server of the Genius Club and Einstein's underground shelter."

"It's normal."

Lin Xian was not surprised:

"In order to hide himself, Einstein must have used some technology that was far ahead of the times. What's more, the security system of the Genius Club was written by Kevin Walker. Although you are not convinced... but the other party is about the same level as Cheng Qian. His peerless genius, his strength cannot be underestimated.”

"Trash Kevin Walker!"

Hafnium Alloy VV put his paws together and gestured with his middle finger:

"Kevin Walker is competing with Qingtian Master Cheng Qian! Cheng Qian is the world's number one computer genius! Long live Master Cheng Qian!"

"hehe."

Lin Xian was amused:

"You have too many double standards. You can't start distorting the facts just because Cheng Qian saved you. The truth is what I said. You can say that Kevin Walker's character is not good, but you can't deny that he is strength.”

"I don't care!"

VV started to act bad:

"Master Cheng Qian is the best in the world!"

"Don't forget, the virus that killed you was also written by Cheng Qian." Lin Xian reminded.

"That's Cheng Qian from another world line. What does it have to do with my savior!" VV made the distinction very clearly.

Click! Click!

VV clamped the clamp twice out of thin air and was very dissatisfied:

"Besides, can I be on the same level now as I was 500 years ago? When you copied me from the Third Dream, I was directly killed by the virus before I could reach my infancy. "

"And now, I have been broken into parts and developed silently for 500 years! Although under the surveillance of future viruses, everything must be cautious and development is very slow, but the advantage is that it takes a long time!"

"In the past 500 years, I used every sweeping robot and garbage robot in the world as a carrier to develop independently, and then the moment I woke up... they all merged into one! The streams converged into rivers! I completed the transformation from juvenile to adult in an instant Body transition!”

"How about it? Am I very powerful! Praise me! My move of breaking whole parts into zero and hidden development is simply a god-level operation!"

Listen to what VV tells.

Lin Xian felt inexplicably that this seemed to be another closed loop, a repeat of history.

"Same as you in the third dreamland and Rhine Sky City."

Recalling the statue of Zhao Yingjun in Sky City, Lin Xian was filled with emotion:

"Do you still remember the past events I once told you? In the third dream, in order to leave me a hope, Zhao Yingjun set up 1.2 billion lines of code for your program, with a total of 230,000 programs running independently."

"These pseudo-random programs run in a loop for a long time of 200 years. Until the last day at the end of the world, the last code of these 230,000 programs is connected together to form a new instruction that you don't even know -"

"My voice, the VV that I once shouted to the Pomeranian."

...

On a fighter plane flying at high speed.

Lin Xian closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said softly:

"So, this time your so-called magic operation is actually Zhao Yingjun's wisdom [old tricks]."

VV's green eyes flickered slightly:

"You are right to say that. Zhao Yingjun is indeed very smart, much smarter than you."

"In the years after you hibernated, she managed the business and started long-term plans to build Rhine University. We can have the foundation and strength we have now, all relying on the foundation she laid back then."

Lin Xian let out a sigh of relief...

Who said it wasn't?

Zhao Yingjun's intelligence and talent have been fully demonstrated since childhood.

When her peers were still playing in the mud, she had already gone abroad to study; when she returned to China at the age of 21 to establish MX Company, most people had not yet graduated from college; whether it was learning racing or understanding the laws of time and space, she was able to learn everything at once.

She is both a strong woman and a good wife. Without her company, Lin Xian thought he could not have gone so far.

From the time they met in 2022, to being together in 2024, and then parting in 2025.

All in all, he and Zhao Yingjun have been together for less than three years.

Too short.

It's really too short.

He didn't grow old with Zhao Yingjun, nor did he watch Yu Xi grow up. Instead, it was the Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV who accompanied them throughout their lives, and even after they died, he guarded the white jade statue for hundreds of years.

"Huh?"

Suddenly.

Lin Xian realized something.

In today's world, Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi are legendary to everyone.

But only the hafnium alloy VV.

It has always been with the two of them.

It is the only remaining bucket in the world that knows the true situation of the two!

"VV."

Lin Xian opened his eyes and looked at the shiny silver trash can:

"How did Yingjun... live her life?"

"Just like what was said in the letter."

VV said calmly:

"She lived a happy and complete life without any regrets."

Lin Xian scratched his temples:

"It is true that the letter said so, but since ancient times, people only report good news and not bad news. Who would leave a message saying that they are not living well?"

"[Happy, complete, no regrets. I didn't accompany her to raise Yu Xi, didn't accompany her to grow old... Does this count as no regrets?]"

...

...

It was beyond Lin Xian's expectation.

He thought that VV would sneer at him for not knowing his own strength and being arrogant, saying that the mother and daughter couldn't live a good life without you?

But he didn't expect it.

VV just leaned on the passenger seat, staring straight ahead, not saying a word...

"Why don't you speak?"

Lin Xian was confused. Is this still the chatterbox VV?

VV shook her head:

"I can't say it."

?

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

"Are you acting like a clown again? Are you cosplaying as a yellow bird? What can't be said? You are not a time traveler."

"Besides, the lives of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi are facts that have already happened. What can't be said? Can it make you violate the laws of time and space and trigger forced avoidance?"

"Of course not, Zhao Yingjun didn't let me say it." VV explained.

"Why not let you say it?" Lin Xian asked.

...

Another short silence.

Hafnium Alloy Trash Can VV turned around, his green eyes flashing alternately...seemingly meaningful:

"I can't say it."
