Genius Club Chapter 74 Wrong question (Thanks to the leader, I have two precious cats!) (1/2)
"because……"
The old man gritted his teeth and said:
"Because Xu Yun also... [disrupted history]."
"No, no, I'm not asking you this. How can I not know this?" Ji Lin turned the pencil in his hand and still stared at the old man:
"I'm asking you, why do you want to kill these people who disturbed history?"
The old man said nothing.
There was silence for a long time:
"Ji Lin, you talked a lot today. You have never asked such a question before."
"Because it wasn't Xu Yun who died before."
Ji Lin looked at the rolled-up list on the ground:
"You gave me this list because you wanted me to find the person who disrupted history, right? In fact, I don't think there is any need to go to such trouble."
"There are only two to three hundred people on this list. Why don't we just kill them all? Why bother to find this person who disrupted history? Being so cautious is completely different from your previous style."
"no!"
The old man's voice was stern:
"You must not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Ji Lin was amused.
He opened the September issue of Mathematics Monthly, found the Sudoku page, and continued to work on the problem:
"So look...you still know something. You are hiding something from me."
"You spoke so righteously, I thought we were some kind of righteous organization."
He stopped writing again and looked up at the old man:
"You must have killed my parents too."
"Ji Lin!"
The old man raised his voice:
"I've told you this many times! I didn't kill your parents at all! Even if it wasn't a simple accident, I definitely didn't kill them!"
"Stop pretending."
Ji Lin lowered his head, smiled, and continued to do Sudoku:
"I found out everything."
"Then you should check it carefully!!"
The old man's veins popped out in anger and he gasped:
"If this is the level of investigation, I advise you to stop writing mystery novels! It's really a joke!"
The air became silent.
There was only the sound of the old man's heavy breathing, and the sound of Ji Lin's rustling pencil rubbing against the paper.
"enough."
The old man waved his hand:
"Stop trying to trick me, Ji Lin, I will never say anything about this."
"But I can tell you clearly that only by doing this! This must be done! This must be done strictly! Only in this way can we achieve our ultimate goal——"
"[Get an invitation letter...to the Genius Club!]"
Wow.
Ji Lin finished another set of Sudoku, threw the magazine in his hand to the ground, and picked up the October issue of "Mathematics Monthly" next to him:
"I don't understand."
"Then don't understand!" The old man interrupted him rudely:
"You don't need to understand this at all! Ji Lin! Do as I say!"
"If you really want to get an invitation to the Genius Club, then listen to me -"
"Find the person who disrupted history!!"
His withered body swayed, he pulled up a chair and sat down, coughing a few times...
"It has to be proven that a person is actually disrupting history before we can kill him."
"Don't ask...don't think...just do as I say."
Wow.
Ji Lin threw the October issue of "Mathematical Monthly" to the ground.
The Sudoku in this issue is obviously too simple. It can be finished in just a few strokes.
There were only two magazines left in the pile of magazines on the right hand side.
He picked up the November issue of Mathematics Monthly, opened it in his hand, and looked at the Sudoku plate on it:
"I didn't say I wouldn't listen to you, because I had no choice."
He looked at it for a while, then turned the pencil over in his hand and filled in the numbers:
"I tried to investigate the Genius Club, but found nothing... It's really amazing. I never believed that a thing or a thing would have no trace in this world."
"It clearly exists, but there is no trace. At least I have been working hard for so many years, but I have not been able to find any correct clues. There is relevant information on the Internet, but it is all settings in the game, or the names of film and television works... It’s obviously not the same thing as the mysterious club you mentioned.”
"Even... the name Genius Club was all taken from you when I was a kid. After so many years, I haven't found anything except this name, and you also have a very strict tone, which I admire very much. ”
The old man rubbed his temples, frowned and sighed:
"It's not that you can't deceive Ji Lin from me, it's because I don't know any information about this club except for the name."
"Where they are, what they do, what their purpose is, who their members are...etc., I know nothing about all of this. So don't try to trick me again in the future. If I really knew, it would have been so long ago I was tricked by you."
"But there's only one thing I'm sure of-"
The old man looked at Ji Lin who was concentrating on doing Sudoku:
"I'm sure that this club is mysterious and powerful enough... He can do anything --\u003e\u003e
, He controls everything..."
"I only know one more clue than you do, so don't doubt what we are doing and do as I say..."
"Find the person who [disrupted history]... Once this is proven, I will send someone to kill him!"
"Every person who dies will become our ticket to join the genius club. In terms of obtaining the invitation letter from the genius club, the two of us have the same purpose."
"You are the smartest person I have ever met, the most extreme genius. I have always believed that you are the one closest to the genius club. So... helping me Ji Lin is also helping yourself."
Wow.
Ji Lin threw down the November issue of Mathematics Monthly.
He stood up slowly...
Pick up the list on the ground:
"I'll find that person."
After that, he scratched his disheveled hair and walked towards the bedroom.
The old man let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the November issue of "Mathematical Monthly" that was thrown on the ground...
When he took a look at it, he was very surprised.
On the open page of the magazine, the Sudoku game was not finished.
Only about half of the numbers were filled in, and there were several traces of deletion, but in the end the Sudoku puzzle was still not solved.
"It's really strange..."
The old man sighed:
"There are Sudokus in this world that you can't solve."
"It's not that I can't do it, it's that the question is wrong." Ji Lin yawned and rubbed his eyes:
"If the question is wrong, no one can do it."
The old man was very curious.
He stood up and picked up the last December issue of Mathematics Monthly and opened the Sudoku page.
There is an "Apology Statement" in the most obvious position, which is the magazine's apology for the printing errors of the previous Sudoku game and corrected the positions of several numbers in this issue.
The old man smiled proudly and put down the magazine.
"As expected...you have never disappointed anyone! If only you weren't so [lazy] at ordinary times, you would be very popular."
"[Lazy]." Ji Lin opened the bedroom door and walked inside:
"I hate this code name. I'm not the last one to join the organization. Why don't you choose a nice one for me? I don't like laziness."
"Then go to work!" The old man's patience has been worn out tonight.
"knew……"
Ji Lin yawned again and closed the door:
"Good night, [Pride]."
