Genius Club Chapter 46 See you in the future (1/6)
"Yu Xi, just wait for me at the top of the stairs. I feel more at ease at this distance."
"Even if Jask and the others go up and down the stairs for a while, they will take the elevator and will not pass by the stairs here."
After thinking again and again, Lin Xian found a balance between the two options of "don't leave Yu Xi" and "prevent Yu Xi from being exposed in front of Jask".
After placing Yu Xi at the stairwell on the 17th floor of the inpatient department, he walked towards Zheng Xiangyue's ward.
There were two people standing outside the ward.
They are the official figure from Donghai and the head nurse.
They did not go in to disturb the conversation between Jask and Zheng Xiangyue, which was what Jask had promised from the beginning.
Jask said that he wanted to chat with Zheng Xiangyue in a relaxed state, just in private, not so formal.
Lin Xian didn't get very close, but stood quietly outside the door.
Soon, Jask, who kept looking back, noticed Lin Xian. He immediately got up from Zheng Xiangyue's ward and walked out the door.
"Lin Xian, you are my friend."
Jask pointed at Lin Xian and smiled at the official figures from East China Sea who came with him:
"Let's go over there and have a few words. It'll be quick and won't affect the rest of the trip."
"It's okay, please do it."
Subsequently.
Jask straightened his suit, walked towards Lin Xian, and took the initiative to extend his right hand:
"Lin Xian, long time no see, please shake hands."
"Where's Angelica?"
Lin Xian didn't reach out and went straight to the point:
"Where is Angelica? What did you do to her?"
Jask bowed his head.
Hehehe smiled.
He shook his head again:
"Lin Xian, if you are looking for Angelica, it seems you are looking for the wrong place. Angelica is not here with me."
"It's true that she was once controlled by me, and I took good care of her... It's a pity that she still escaped from me and stole some things."
"I would rather ask you, do you know where Angelica is? If you know, please tell me. No matter what, if you steal my things, you have to give them back to me, right?"
Lin Xian snorted softly.
He didn't believe Jask's lies at all.
Angelica lost contact at the Rocket Launch Center in Jask. There was no trace of outside activity for so many days, and she had no contact with herself.
It was obvious that Jask was lying.
He let out a long breath and looked into Jask's eyes:
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
Jask also stopped smiling.
He looked at Lin Xian seriously:
"I guess you won't believe me no matter what I say now, right? Lin Xian, I think there should be some misunderstandings between us. It can even be said... a deep misunderstanding."
"But now that the matter is here, if you ask me to provide any evidence to prove that these things are just a misunderstanding, I really can't provide it."
"But I believe that if we can all show sincerity, put aside our prejudices, and have a good talk, we should be able to resolve these misunderstandings."
"It's definitely not the right place to be here now. Besides, I do have something I want to show you. The hospital is not the right place for me to take it out. So... how about we change time and place to have a good chat?" "
He smiled and stood up straight with his hands behind his back:
"In Lingang New District, about two kilometers directly north of the Tesla Gigafactory, there is an abandoned factory. Although there are a lot of construction stones and garbage piled inside, the space is large and quiet enough to be undisturbed, which is suitable for us. Let’s have a good chat.”
"Without further ado, how about 8 o'clock tonight? I won't be late this time... We will meet at the abandoned factory on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. I will come to see you with enough sincerity, without any bodyguards, I will go to see you alone without anyone but myself.”
Say it.
He waved his hand and said goodbye to Lin Xian:
"See you in the evening, Lin Xian. See you there or not."
Turn around.
Jask chuckled and took the arm of the official Donghai official, and they entered the elevator with mutual humility, closed the door, and left.
…
This time we meet.
It was much shorter than Lin Xian thought.
But what can be done?
Since the other party does not admit that Angelica is in his hands, there is naturally nothing worth talking about.
I just didn’t expect that…
Jask actually made another appointment with himself to meet in an abandoned factory in a remote suburb at 8 o'clock in the evening.
He said he was meeting alone and came alone.
Is it credible?
Lin Xian would not believe it foolishly.
Now that I'm here, I've been busy going to heaven, running around, and running for my life during this period. I haven't come to visit Zheng Xiangyue for a long time.
Then take this opportunity to visit.
He walked to the ward, knocked on the open door softly, and looked at Zheng Xiangyue who was holding the urn.
"Brother Lin Xian!"
Zheng Xiangyue tilted her head and smiled, her long black hair flowing down like a waterfall.
She put her brother's urn back on the bedside table.
Then trot--\u003e\u003e
Come here and hold Lin Xian’s hand:
"Brother Lin Xian! Do you know who came just now? Jask is here! It's the Jask who sells moon travel tickets! He told me! He said that you gave me the ticket! It's so long Time...why didn’t you tell me you bought it?”
Lin Xian smiled slightly.
He walked into the ward with Zheng Xiangyue and listened to her chattering about what happened when Jask came here just now.
"Now that you know everything, I won't hide it from you."
Lin Xian said truthfully:
"Actually, strictly speaking, the ticket was bought by me, but the money for the ticket was paid by another friend of your brother's and is his inheritance. He knows your dream and also I know what happened between you and your brother, so... I did a good thing before I died and made your dream come true. "
"Ah, that's it."
Zheng Xiangyue scratched her head as she listened to this complicated story:
"Then he...is really a good person, a kind person."
"In the next life."
Lin Xian smiled:
"Maybe you will be a good person in your next life. As long as you realize your dream of the moon, you will have accumulated some virtue."
Zheng Xiangyue tightened her lips and stopped talking.
finally.
Looked up.
Looked at Lin Xian carefully:
"Brother Lin Xian, didn't you ask me before if you would like to hibernate with Xu Yiyi?"
Lin Xian nodded:
"Have you figured it out now?"
actually.
Long before Xu Yiyi's attending doctor said that Yiyi's body could not bear it anymore, Zheng Xiangyue's attending doctor had talked to Lin Xian twice.
The attending doctor said:
"I know that you are taking care of Zheng Xiangyue and Xu Yiyi, so I will tell you their true situation directly."
"Mr. Lin, don't think that just because Zheng Xiangyue's condition is much better than Xu Yiyi's on the surface, you shouldn't think that she can really hold on... In fact, this is not the case. Judging from our medical professional point of view, in fact, Zheng Xiangyue is in better condition than Xu Yiyi. Xiangyue's situation is actually much more dangerous than Xu Yiyi's."
"Xu Yiyi's condition is at least stable. We can grasp her physical changes, take precautions in advance, and deduce the deterioration trend in the future. But Zheng Xiangyue is different... once her heart disease If an attack occurs, it can be fatal suddenly.”
"Zheng Xiangyue has had several heart attacks before, and each time she was pulled back from the door of death. She is indeed a very lucky girl, but how long can she be lucky? The heart, a human organ, is different from other things , sometimes life and death are just a matter of seconds and cannot be saved.”
"So I suggest... you do a good job with Zheng Xiangyue and let her hibernate with Xu Yiyi. We medical professionals are very familiar with the progress of hibernation cabins. Although the current hibernation cabins are still in the nominal testing stage, But in fact, the test results can already be mass-produced and promoted.”
"Nowadays, except for the unavoidable side effect of [amnesia], most of the other side effects of hibernation have basically been overcome. Even if there are still a few side effects, they are minimal and not that serious. No matter for Zheng Xiangyue or As far as Xu Yiyi is concerned, it has no impact."
"You have to make up your mind as soon as possible, Mr. Lin. Zheng Xiangyue's condition cannot wait. No one knows which day misfortune will befall this poor little girl."
…
therefore.
When taking Xu Yiyi to hibernate at the Academy of Dragon Science, Lin Xian naturally tried to persuade Zheng Xiangyue for a long time.
But Zheng Xiangyue still insisted on refusing.
She was afraid she would miss the trip to the moon.
Even she herself didn't quite believe that the ticket to the moon was real, but... what if? What if a miracle really happens?
If I really had a ticket, it was not a white lie, but I missed it because I was sleeping in the hibernation cabin...
She will really regret it for the rest of her life!
But it's different now.
Jask's promise just now dispelled her last worries.
She is now...
I have indeed thought it through.
"Yes, brother Lin Xian, I have decided."
Zheng Xiangyue nodded seriously to Lin Xian:
"Uncle Jask has made a promise to me. He said that my ticket for traveling to the moon can be cashed in anytime, even if it is decades or hundreds of years later, it doesn't matter if the ticket is lost!"
"In that case, I can go into hibernation with peace of mind... I also want to have a healthy body so that I can stand on the moon alive and bury my brother's urn on it."
"Of course that's no problem."
Lin Xian smiled:
"You are willing to hibernate. This is the result that many people want to see. Moreover, this is indeed the best treatment plan for you. Don't worry, Xiangyue. Human technology and medicine are developing very fast. It is estimated that with In a few years, maybe even 20 years, congenital heart disease and spacecraft to the moon will be solved.”
"I will only be 45 years old in 20 years. When you wake up by then, maybe I can still watch you get into the spaceship and watch you travel to the moon."
"hey-hey……"
Seeing Lin Xian's gentle words, Zheng Xiangyue burst into tears and her vision blurred.
She wiped her eyes.
His voice was choked and he said:
"Thank you so much, brother Lin Xian... My brother also often said that you are all good people and you have helped us a lot. He told me that I must repay your kindness when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Although I don't--\u003e\u003e
You know what I can do in the future, but brother Lin Xian, if I am really capable when I grow up, I will definitely repay you! Just like you take good care of me now... When you get old, I will take good care of you too! "
Why.
What a childish thing.
Lin Xian took out two tissues from the nearby paper box and handed them to Zheng Xiangyue.
He had discovered it long ago.
Although Zheng Xiangyue is not too young, she is 15 years old this year.
But because she has been trapped in the hospital since she was a child, has not gone to school, has no contact with the outside world, and has no friends... her mental age is much younger than her actual age.
It's not just about her mental age, her body is also underdeveloped, making her more than a head shorter than an average fifteen-year-old girl.
Therefore, from the inside out, Zheng Xiangyue looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl, and everyone felt pity for her.
"You don't have to think so far ahead, Miss Yue."
Lin Xian comforted her and said:
"As long as you take good care of yourself and realize your dream of landing on the moon, all of us will be happy for you. In fact, my help to you two brothers and sisters is very limited, and I don't often take care of you, so... you really Don’t think about repaying me with anything, don’t feel pressured by such thoughts.”
"What's more, if you hibernate for a long time, the side effects of [amnesia] will make you forget everything, and you will naturally forget about me. But I think forgetting is good, a new environment, a new era , it’s a good thing to start everything again.”
Hear Lin Xian's reminder.
Zheng Xiangyue suddenly remembered that indeed... hibernation has the side effect of amnesia! If Lin Xian hadn't suddenly mentioned it, she would have really forgotten it!
"That...that won't work, brother Lin Xian."
Zheng Xiangyue waved her hands firmly:
"My brother has taught me repeatedly, saying that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water, and one must never forget to repay a favor. But... what about the side effects of amnesia? What if I wake up and forget everything... forget to repay my brother The matter of being buried on the moon and forgetting about you, Brother Lin Xian... That would be too bad."
Suddenly, she had an idea.
Got it!
Wouldn't it be nice to record all these important matters in a notebook?
so.
When I wake up one day, wouldn't it be nice to complete one thing one by one according to the description recorded in the notebook?
She got on the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table on the other side, and took out a pink notebook and a cute pen.
Turn to a blank page.
Zheng Xiangyue wrote above:
"Things you must do after waking up from hibernation!" 》
1. Bury your brother on the moon.
2. Repay brother Lin Xian well.
Finished writing.
She held the notebook in front of Lin Xian and said with a smile:
"Brother Lin Xian, look, this way I won't forget you! After I wake up from the hibernation cabin, I will remember these words immediately!"
hehe.
Lin Xian chuckled lightly, touched Zheng Xiangyue's head, and said nothing more.
If only it were that simple...
Now on the social level, people are no longer so worried about memory loss and memory fraud after hibernation.
Not to mention.
Zheng Xiangyue wrote these two things so simply and in just a few strokes. Even if she wanted to believe the notes she wrote after waking up, could she really understand them?
The second article can still be understood for now.
But this first one... looks incomprehensible on its own, and without context, it is absolutely incomprehensible.
But Lin Xian didn't intend to tell Zheng Xiangyue this.
Let her hibernate happily without any worries or concerns.
This should be what Zheng Chenghe wants to see the most.
Zheng Xiangyue's good health and good life are more important than anything else.
As for forgetting Lin Xian? Have you even forgotten Zheng Chenghe?
Just forget it.
Forget everything and embrace a new life.
"You might as well just cross out the second one."
Lin Xian smiled and said:
"Because I am personally opposed to hibernating cabins, there is a high probability that you will not see me in the future. And kindness is something that does not ask for anything in return and is passed down selflessly from generation to generation."
"I have also received the kindness of many people, which is why I have the ability to help you like I am today. But many of the people who gave me kindness...are no longer here, and I don't even have the chance to repay my kindness. So, no, I I will continue to extend this goodwill to you.”
"Of course, Xiangyue, you can continue this goodwill in the future——"
"[Be a kind person, be a loving person, lend a helping hand to those in need, and show love to those who long for care.]"
"[If you have the ability, you will show your ambition to serve the motherland. If you are not able, then go back to the East China Sea to build your hometown.]"
"In short, if you can continue this kindness and love, that is the best reward for me, your brother, and everyone in the world who has helped you."
…
Zheng Xiangyue listened to Lin Xian's words.
He nodded heavily.
Then I picked up the pen again and wrote about the two things "What you must do after waking up from hibernation!" 》After that, a new one was added——
3. Be a kind and caring person.
After Lin Xian saw it.
I couldn't help but laugh again.
--\u003e\u003e
He is really a master of conciseness, conciseness and compression. Zheng Xiangyue is really good at refining the key points and making every detail count.
"Then I'll leave first. Xiangyue, I will make arrangements for your hibernation."
Lin Xian stood up from the chair:
"I'm very familiar with the Dragon Science Institute. I asked them to reserve two hibernation cabin experiment places early in the morning. Now Xu Yiyi has slept in it, and the other one is still reserved for you. I just need to contact them there. "
"For the rest of the matter, please follow the arrangements of the attending doctor."
Subsequently.
Lin Xian left Zheng Xiangyue's ward and called Longke Academy. There was no problem. Dean Gao Yan said that the Affiliated Hospital of Tunghai University could send Zheng Xiangyue at any time.
Then, Lin Xian met with Zheng Xiangyue's attending doctor.
The doctor said:
"That's great. In fact, just a few days ago, Xiangyue had another heart attack, but I couldn't contact you. Your phone has been turned off. I was just thinking about finding a chance to have a good chat with you. ”
"Since there is no problem with Longke Academy's reception, Zheng Xiangyue should set off as soon as possible. My suggestion is not to wait for a moment, and set off as soon as you are ready. For safety reasons, we will not use high-speed rail or airplanes. As for transportation, we will send a professional ambulance to transport Zheng Xiangyue.”
"Don't worry, the ambulance has a lot of first aid equipment. Even if Zheng Xiangyue suffers a heart attack on the way to the imperial capital, he will be rescued in time. What's more... this is also the benefit of the ambulance. If anything happens that cannot be handled, it will You can run to a nearby hospital as soon as possible to use ECMO equipment, which is much safer than high-speed trains and airplanes that cannot turn around halfway.”
Lin Xian nodded:
"Okay, doctor, I'll leave Zheng Xiangyue in charge of you from now on."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin."
The attending doctor smiled:
"We will take care of Zheng Xiangyue on the way to the Imperial Capital. Speaking of which, you and Zhao Yingjun from MX Company are both people we respect very much in the inpatient department."
"Whether it's Professor Xu Yun's daughter Xu Yiyi or this poor child Zheng Xiangyue, after they became orphans, it was you two who took care of them and paid for their medical expenses."
"I have been in the inpatient department for so many years. I have seen the two children Zheng Xiangyue and Xu Yiyi all the way, and I have some feelings for them. So you and Zhao Yingjun take such good care of these two children. I am also very grateful to you. ”
"You both are very kind-hearted people and your lives will be filled with good luck."
Lin Xian smiled slightly, stood up, and prepared to leave:
"For your good advice, now happens to be... the time when I need good luck the most."
…
After coming out of the attending doctor's office, Lin Xian came to the stairwell on the 17th floor of the inpatient department.
Yu Xi leaned against the wall and waited quietly.
"Is there nothing wrong?" Lin Xian asked.
Yu Xi shook her head:
"No one came here, so Jask's bodyguards came up and down twice."
"Didn't find you?"
Yu Xi picked up his pocket and shook his head again:
"No."
after.
The two took the elevator downstairs, got back into the Volkswagen sedan, and drove back to the hotel.
In the suite, Lin Xian told Yu Xi about the conversation he had just had with Jask.
"This must be a trap for Jask."
Yu Xi said:
"It would be fine if we took the initiative to ask him out, but now he takes the initiative to ask you to go to such a remote place. No matter how you look at it, it is very dangerous."
"He said he was alone. In fact, the abandoned factory was near his base camp, the Tesla Gigafactory... Who knows how many people would come?"
"And since he denies that Angelica is by his side, there is no need for you to talk to him. No matter what state Angelica is in, Jask has no intention of returning her to you... or even "It's hard to say whether Angelica is alive or dead."
"I think so"
Lin Xian sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite and looked at his watch:
"No matter how you look at it, it's more like a [Hongmen Banquet]."
On the electronic smart watch, the current time is 16:32
There were still three and a half hours until Jask made an appointment with him, at eight o'clock in the evening.
"Are you sure you want to go?"
Yu Xi shook her head:
"This is really dangerous. I suggest that if we must meet with Jask, we can choose a place and set a time."
"But...I think it's not too late, because I can feel that the time and space assassin has entered the Dragon Kingdom. It's just that her position is relatively far away, and the distance I sense is not very accurate...Probably, it should be within It’s somewhere close to Shandong, but it’s still quite far away from Donghai City.”
"But no matter what, since the Time and Space Assassin has entered the Dragon Kingdom, it is only a matter of time before she comes to Donghai City. If she and Jask are reunited, we really have no chance at all."
"Time is running out, Lin Xian, you must make up your mind as soon as possible. Now, either we take the risk to see Jask; or we ignore Jask and find a way to deal with the time and space assassin; or... leave the East China Sea again and avoid the battle. , waiting for a more suitable opportunity.”
Lin Xian held his chin, closed his eyes, and sat on the sofa to think.
He always feels.
Jask's attitude towards himself is really subtle.
Say he is an enemy?
He did not show any intention to kill himself at all, and he did save himself from the impact of the aerospace plane hijacked by Kevin Walker, and indirectly revealed to himself Kevin...\u003e\u003e
Walker's address.
Do you want to say that he is not an enemy?
It was obvious that he was lying about Angelica, and he also killed VV and sent the space-time assassin.
Judging from the current situation.
The time and space assassins will not be able to reach the East China Sea until early tonight at the earliest; before that, it is Jask's killer vacuum period.
Of course, maybe Jask can directly send a team of killers from this time and space to kill himself.
But if the logic were that simple...
Why doesn't he take action in the United States?
Why not just dispatch the killer group in the United States?
No matter how you look at it, it is much easier to kill yourself in the United States than in the Dragon Kingdom.
After all, he is considered a public figure in Donghai.
If he really killed himself, Jask would have to walk around without enough to eat. He shouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Lin Xian still felt as awkward as before.
I always feel...
【Something is wrong. 】
Analyze it carefully.
Now, someone who is obviously hostile to me:
Kevin Walker, the mysterious old man in the Fourth Dream, and the time and space assassin.
People who are clearly on their side and protecting themselves:
Huangque, Yuxi, Angelica.
Look at it this way.
Jask's position, as it had been at the beginning, was completely unclear.
Could it be...
Is there someone else behind the scenes?
Who else could it be?
Lin Xian couldn't figure it out for the moment.
But tonight at 8 o'clock in the evening, Jask's Hongmen Banquet, do you want to go or not?
"I think it's time to go."
Lin Xian opened his eyes:
"I always feel that if Jask really wants to ambush me, there is no need to go to the East China Sea to kill me."
"He has countless better choices, and now, setting up a trap to kill me in the East China Sea during a time period when the time and space assassins cannot arrive is simply the stupidest method and completely illogical."
"What's more, if the purpose of the time and space assassin is really to kill me, I don't think I should survive now, right? When you didn't protect me before, if the time and space assassin showed any murderous intention, I should have died."
"Now that I think about it carefully, although the Space-Time Assassin seems to be very heavy-handed, in fact it is still measured. For example, when she tore off my car door at the beginning, she could have directly tore off my neck; another example is when she drove a Mercedes-Benz and hit me, She could actually hit the car harder and knock it over; not to mention that she is not restricted by the laws of time and space. She can easily get a gun in the United States, so why does she never use a gun? "
Yu Xi blinked her blue eyes:
"The reason why she doesn't use a gun is probably because she is afraid of accidentally injuring other humans in this time and space, right? What if the problem of the failure of the laws of time and space is not on her... but on you? Is there something wrong with you? Is forced avoidance just for you? Are you effective?"
"have no idea."
Lin Xian shook his head:
"But I still say the same thing. Jask is a smart man. If he wanted to kill me, he would have killed me long ago. There is no way he has to wait for me to return to the East China Sea before killing him. It is a completely bad move."
"Don't take it for granted, Lin Xian."
Yu Xi walked to the opposite side of the coffee table, put her hands in her pockets and looked at him:
"You are always so indecisive. Why do you put your life in Jask's hands? You can't always believe in the kindness of your enemies, right?"
"If you really want to see Jask tonight, I will naturally protect you and accompany you. But I am limited by the laws of time and space. If you are really in danger, I can only take you to escape. I can't Fight back against the humans of this time and space.”
"Jask can lie to you about Angelica, then he can lie to you about anything. Don't trust him too much. So we should be more careful. If Jask is sincere and sincere, If you want to talk, then you should have a good chat with him; and if he ambush you... you have to react in time and subdue him. "
"After subduing Jask, we can use him as a hostage. This way, even if there is an ambush outside, we will at least have a bargaining chip."
"subdue?"
Lin Xian raised his head from the sofa and looked at Yu Xi standing with his hands in his pocket:
"How are we going to subdue Jask?"
Snapped.
Yu Xi took out a yellow and black object from his right pocket and slapped it directly on the coffee table.
Lin Xian lowered his head and looked——
[Taser stun gun]!
This is a police weapon that he is extremely familiar with...
Although he has never used it, it has been used countless times.
The numb feeling of instantaneous electricity still makes my muscles tense when I think about it.
"Where did you get it?"
Lin Xian asked in confusion.
"I stole it from Jask's bodyguard at the stairs of the hospital today." Yu Xi replied:
"I've always wanted to go to the black market and exchange Angelica's jewelry for you for a real pistol... But there has never been a chance, and you don't trust me to leave you, so I can only make ends meet with this. ”
"This thing can't kill people with electric shock. It will make people paralyzed, convulsed, fall to the ground unable to move, or unconscious. There is absolutely no problem in subduing Jask."
"So, just in case..."
Her bright blue pupils stared into Lin Xian's eyes:
"Tonight, let's go to the abandoned factory in advance to ambush."
"If something is really wrong... let's go first --\u003e\u003e
Hands are strong! "
