"That's not right."
Lin Xian shook his head.
Strictly speaking, the world's richest man, Jask, is not the biggest beneficiary without any loss.
He did not directly participate in this battle for space-time particles, but that timely rocket must have been expensive.
Moreover.
The Starlink satellite project that he had planned for several years and cost tens of billions of US dollars was completely destroyed. The direct losses, indirect losses in stock prices, and subsequent related losses added together are probably several times more than tens of billions.
If the chain reaction caused by this incident continues to ferment...Jask's position as the world's richest man will definitely not be kept.
From the current stock price, it seems that the owner has changed.
However, the wealth of these world's richest people fluctuates greatly every day, and no one can predict the specific amount of wealth. It can only be said that Jask must have been injured and hit the aorta this time.
Therefore, from an economic perspective, Jask is the one who suffered the most losses in this battle for space-time particles.
Therefore, it cannot be said that Jask is sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. In a sense, he is also a victim.
"What's more..."
Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the prosperous and lively night view of the imperial capital in the distance:
"What's more, all my current speculations are based on the premise of 'assuming that the dream world is real'. If we consider the possibility that the dream world is false, simulated, and a studio... then it is meaningless to infer who is behind the scenes out of thin air."
"So, the most urgent thing is to find a way to figure out the truth and falsehood of the dream world as soon as possible. Only by clarifying this major premise can we continue to reason below. Otherwise... the premise is incorrect, just like the foundation is crooked, the subsequent reasoning and construction must be crooked and wrong."
Thinking of this.
Lin Xian stretched out his right hand and pressed his chest.
In the pocket of this pajamas, there is the [small note] that Chu Anqing wrote to him.
It can be said that this small note is the last item Chu Anqing left for him.
Lin Xian had been troubled for several months before, and he didn't know what to write on the small note to deceive the whole world, deceive everyone, and even convey information spanning 600 years without fear of the enemy seeing and copying it in advance, so that he could be enlightened at the moment of seeing the content of the small note, and understand the truth and falsehood of the dream.
On his 25th birthday, he shared this question with Chu Anqing.
At that time, the other party couldn't think of the answer, thinking that this question was too difficult, and he couldn't understand it just by reviewing the question.
But...
Just after Chu Anqing touched the space-time particles.
She was like a different person, and many things changed.
She cried and asked Huang Que, is all this true... her expression was very sad and desperate.
Lin Xian couldn't figure it out.
What exactly did Chu Anqing ask?
And after she came into contact with the space-time particles, her reaction was so big and her emotions were so intense. It was obvious that she recalled something, or gained some memory.
The situation was urgent at the time, and Chu Anqing was in a hurry to write a small note and catch space-time particles, so she had no time to ask these questions.
Lin Xian originally planned to ask after everything was over, but he didn't expect that there would never be a future.
All this has become an unsolvable mystery.
And the answer, presumably, is also written on this small note that gambles on time and space, and gambles on fate...
Lin Xian's fingers pressed on his chest moved, and through the thin pajamas, he felt the folded small note inside.
So far, no one has seen this small note.
Not even myself.
No one else.
In this era of 2024, no one knows the content on it.
It's true, absolutely no one.
Because Chu Anqing also disappeared, and the only person who knew the content also disappeared, so, by mistake, just like this, [a secret and code unknown to the whole world was born].
These days, Lin Xian carries this small note all the time.
Never dare to leave it.
This is a small note that Chu Anqing got at the cost of her life...
If it is lost or seen by others, it would be a shame for Chu Anqing's good intentions.
The other party also warned him seriously.
"Look at it when you get there...you will definitely understand."
Chu Anqing's eyes were very confident at that time.
Lin Xian believed her.
Chu Anqing was a very simple and straightforward girl. She didn't know what she didn't know, and she didn't pretend to know what she didn't know. Similarly...
If she was sure that something was possible, then it was highly likely that it was really possible and feasible.
What's more, the content on this small note was written by Chu Anqing after she touched the space-time particles, which must be related to her emotional collapse at that time and the suspected awakening memory.
When he asked Chu Anqing what happened on the space plane at that time.
She was about to say it. \u003c--\u003e\u003e
br\u003e
But she stopped abruptly in an instant, swallowed the words stuck in her throat, and asked to write a small note.
This means...
What she wanted to say at that time and what she wrote on the small note were highly relevant and equally important.
Lin Xian was curious and guessed countless times as to what was written on the small note.
But he will never watch it in 2024.
If you can't help but take a look now, it will all be in vain.
Especially the current fourth dream is true as VV said, the more I look at it, the more fake it becomes! The more you experience it, the less real it becomes! He now desperately needs an answer, a truth, a guidepost to continue reasoning and moving forward.
And this little piece of paper is enough to hide the whole world and deceive everyone.
It was he who broke the situation in the fourth dream...
Last hope!
"I'll put it in the hafnium alloy safe at Thame Bank."
Lin Xian murmured softly.
Now, Brother Wang's Taimu Bank has officially opened its trial operation, which happened on March 20, his birthday.
Because he was training at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center that day, Lin Xian was unable to attend the event in person, but Brother Wang still sent him many photos and short videos.
The trial opening site seemed quite lively.
Moreover, Lin Xian was surprised that there were quite a lot of people in this world who still had childlike innocence.
According to Brother Wang, on the day of the trial opening, 30 safes were sold, and the shortest one was sold for 50 years. The longest one was even sold for 200 years.
Of course, the price does not have to be paid in full for 200 years. There are still many payment plans. After all, Taimu Bank is a project that Brother Wang has been planning for a long time, so he has thought about all aspects very comprehensively.
30 safes were sold on the first day... and the storage time was such a long time. This performance was indeed beyond Lin Xian's expectation.
He originally thought that many people were just looking for novelty and would not necessarily be interested in this time capsule-like "time and space pie."
But it turned out that he was wrong.
Anything, no matter what. As long as it is the first and only one in the world, there seems to be no lack of attention.
The emergence of Taimu Bank is unique, novel and precious in the world. It spans 600 years and is still prosperous. It can rent more than a dozen airships in the super futuristic metropolis to advertise its anniversary, which is enough to prove that this bank is still prosperous even six centuries later.
Brother Wang also took a photo of himself at the Thame Bank warehouse.
It was similar to what I saw in the first dream and the second dream. At most, it was a little bigger and the safe looked like a little more.
But the overall layout is still the same, with solid cement walls and hafnium alloy safes embedded in them one by one.
This scene really made Lin Xian nostalgic and enlightened.
Brother Wang also specially took a photo of safe No. 66 to show Lin Xian.
Lin Xian's name is engraved on the nameplate above, waiting for him to open it and set a password that can never be changed.
Lin Xian originally planned to return to Donghai City immediately after getting off the aerospace plane, put this small piece of paper into the safe, and then set a random password.
but.
Current situation.
How could he have the nerve to return to the East China Sea...
He was not afraid that Chu Shanhe would really throw him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.
If Chu Shanhe is really willing to do this, his guilt may be smaller.
The worst case... the worst case, I'll just swim up again with a disgraced face.
He promised that he would take good care of his daughter and bring him home safely. As a result, now I can’t see anyone alive or dead, and I have directly lost my daughter... Shouldn’t I be allowed to lose my temper?
It's a pity that he knows Chu Shanhe too well.
Such a loyal, reasonable, and broad-minded man would probably not even say a word to complain about himself, and would even pat himself on the shoulder and say:
"Lin Xian, I don't blame you."
Why.
Just because Chu Shanhe, Chu Anqing, and Su Xiuying were all like this, Lin Xian felt even more uncomfortable and guilty.
Before finding out whether Chu Anqing was dead, what happened, and why he disappeared... Lin Xian would definitely have no shame in returning to the East China Sea.
He had to figure all this out before he could give Chu Shanhe an explanation.
so.
At present, the matter of putting this small note in the safe of Thame Bank can only be postponed for the time being.
The best-case scenario is to dig Zhang Yuqian's grave in Qufu, Shandong, find the remaining tissue of the body, and then compare the DNA with Chu Anqing's hair to draw a clear conclusion... and then return to Donghai City for business.
That way.
According to the normal historical development trajectory.
When I put this small note in the safe of Thame Bank in 2024.
600 years later, in 2624, this small note spanning time will appear in the hafnium alloy safe in the Thame Bank warehouse as promised.
After he solves the mysterious old man in the current era, he can move freely in the fourth dreamland.
At that time, all you need to do is find Taimu Bank, enter the correct password, open the safe, and see this [small note] written by Chu Anqing again...
Everything will be revealed.
The reality and authenticity of the dream will be revealed at that moment.
"Wait a moment, An Qing."
Lin Xian pressed --\u003e\u003e
A small note in the chest pocket:
"I'm going to figure it all out and I won't let you down."
…
Lift your head again.
The imperial capital at night is still so prosperous and bright, with bright lights.
It is no different from the neon night of the East China Sea, even the Xidan area is more lively.
But all this excitement has nothing to do with Lin Xian.
He often recalled every moment he spent with Chu Anqing at Xidan Shopping Plaza.
That cup of succulent grape milk tea;
The claw machine that holds the entire arms;
The fireworks-filled snack street;
That clean bar singing "No More Contact".
Everything is like this, as if it was yesterday and a lifetime ago.
Lin Xian faced the sky.
Facing the moonlight.
Stretch out your right hand...
He shook it and opened it again.
He obviously caught it.
Mingming grabbed Chu Anqing's hand.
He couldn't be mistaken.
That was the touch of his hand. Even through the thick space suit, he could feel Chu Anqing holding his right hand tightly.
But just when I landed in my arms...
It just disappeared inexplicably.
During this period, Lin Xian kept thinking about this question:
[Did Chu Anqing disappear at 00:42 because she touched space-time particles? 】
Or……
[Her disappearance at 00:42 has long been a foregone conclusion. No matter whether she touches the space-time particles or not, nothing can stop the inevitability of this moment? 】
Lin Xian couldn't understand.
But the only thing that's certain is...
After touching the space-time particles, Chu Anqing knew in advance the fact that she would disappear at 00:42.
This inference should be correct.
This is why Chu Anqing is determined to leave the cabin and stand on the wings of the aerospace aircraft to capture space-time particles.
because.
she knows.
He is about to disappear.
Just ten minutes.
She no longer cherishes her life and dares to do any crazy things.
No wonder no one could stop him no matter how hard he tried.
Lin Xian and Gao Yang were both quarreling with Huang Que at that time, and the scene was close to a fight.
But Chu Anqing stood firmly on Huangque's side, so even though Lin Xian and Gao Yang tried their best to stop it, Chu Anqing was finally persuaded.
The result of the final compromise was the safety rope that bound Chu Anqing's spacesuit and was held tightly in everyone's hands.
Unfortunately……
At that time, Lin Xian did not realize the established fact that Chu Anqing would disappear at 00:42.
It wasn't until Chu Anqing stood on the wing, sighed, and asked the oriole what time it was that Lin Xian really felt something was wrong.
That tone.
That tone.
That kind of calmness that doesn't matter.
And it was the little bits of blue stardust that finally fell to the ground that made Lin Xian realize belatedly——
turn out to be.
Chu Anqing already knew the date of her death.
Know.
She will eventually disappear, dissipate, and disappear at this moment of 00:42 on March 28, 2024.
That's why she dared to leave the cabin,
Only then dare to untie the safety rope,
Only then do you dare to take off from the wing of an aerospace plane,
Only then did he dare to fall from an altitude of 20,000 meters, holding the rice cooker and staring at death.
"Why……"
Lin Xian sighed.
The logic of it all is this.
Judging from the results, it is indeed as Huang Que said. As a thousand-year-old Chu Anqing who is destined to dissipate at 00:42, there is really no need to save her.
Sooner or later, you will die, no matter what.
but.
For Lin Xian.
even so.
even so!
Even if he were asked to choose a thousand or ten thousand times, he would not hesitate to jump from a plane at an altitude of 20,000 meters.
This is stupid, irrational and uneconomical.
But he once told Liu Feng.
Life is not a math problem and there is no right answer.
He was asked to choose the multiple-choice question of jumping out of a plane to save Chu Anqing ten thousand times, but he always got the same option.
"Hmm!!!!!!"
suddenly.
Behind him, Gao Yang, whose breathing had been paused for a long time, suddenly let out a loud pig cry, and then sat up from the bed:
"Fuck...why do I feel so tight in my chest! I'm almost suffocating!"
He turned his head and looked at the open balcony window, at the cold wind blowing in, and at Lin Xian standing in the moonlight on the balcony:
"Holy shit! What are you doing, brother! Staying up in the middle of the night pretending to be a ghost is so scary! You almost scared me to death!"
Lin Xian came back from his thoughts, turned around and looked at Gao Yang:
"You'd better lose weight quickly, otherwise... you might get apnea at night and suffocate yourself to death in your sleep before you're scared to death."
"No... what time is it? You hurry up and go back to bed! I said why is it so cold? Please close the balcony door quickly. It's not April yet, the Imperial Capital is different from the East China Sea, --\u003e\u003e
It's very cold! Come back quickly...I won't be at ease if you don't sleep. "
After saying that, Gao Yang turned over and started snoring again.
Lin Xian also looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed getting late.
Moreover... it was indeed very cold in the Imperial Capital at the end of March, and the climate was completely different from that of Donghai City.
"Go to bed first and think about anything tomorrow."
nowadays.
He had put aside all other worries and concentrated on investigating the mystery of Chu Anqing's disappearance.
Mysteries abound.
Always investigate one by one.
The good news is that the reason why Chu Anqing disappeared is not particularly difficult to understand.
In the future world, CC can be used as a reference.
In the real world, there are also traces of a girl who looks exactly like Zhang Yuqian, and you can follow the clues and dig up graves to find DNA.
Compared to other mysteries, this one is the easiest to solve.
There are clues, ideas, and evidence.
Lin Xian is confident that he can figure it all out so that he can give Chu Shanhe and himself an explanation.
He yawned...
Walked into the hotel suite.
Closed the balcony door.
Lie back on the bed, pull up the quilt, and close your eyes.
Hope...
Tomorrow's investigation.
Everything goes well.
