Genius Club-Chapter 1112 - 20 (Added for Clan Leader Ling PoTian!)_4

Chapter 1112 -20 (Added for Clan Leader Ling PoTian!)_4

If you think everyone here is just a bunch of dumb lab rats, that would mean…

You’re the lab rat.

…

[No.7 Tesla]

This one is an old friend, so naturally there’s not much to say. His true identity is very clear—it’s none other than the world’s richest man, Jask; his true aim is also quite distinct, using Mars colonization as a springboard to lead humanity out of Earth and into the vast universe of interstellar travel.

However, he has failed, and his future plans are also doomed to fail.

Right now, he is engaged in a fascinating game of swapping the prince for a civet cat—

Having the real Fake Sike play the role of a fake Jask killed, then having the real Jask disguise himself as the fake Fake Sike to play the role of a fake Jask.

But actually, after going around in circles… Jask is still Jask; it’s just that, in Copernicus’s eyes, everything has changed drastically.

Lin Xian does not know when he will be able to find Copernicus, to complete his revenge, to wrap up everything.

But he believes, when the moment to wrap things up comes…

It won’t be without Jask, nor without Angelica!

…

[No.8 Turing]

Turing is the most unique member of the entire Genius Club, because he is two people, the only member whose seat has been inherited.

The first to join the Genius Club was Turing’s human alter ego, Kevin Walker.

His skills indeed qualify him as the strongest hacker on the planet, including the Genius Club’s network system, quiz system, newcomer module, and the construction of the virtual gathering scenes—these were all completed by him alone.

So, theoretically, he indeed knew the information of every club member, which made everyone feel insecure.

Fortunately, Einstein imposed severe constraints on Kevin Walker, or Turing, in terms of information privacy.

This made Lin Xian firm in his belief that even if the digital life Turing really colluded with Copernicus, it would absolutely not dare to reveal the information of Genius Club members to Copernicus.

Einstein was very strict in managing Turing.

Now, however, Kevin Walker is dead, Turing is also dead, and with the fall of the first club member, the control of the entire network system and virtual gathering scenes naturally returned to Einstein’s hands.

…

[No.9 Rhein]

That’s right, the last genius whose mask and code name completely don’t match with the rest of the club members, is Lin Xian himself.

It can only be said.

Not obtaining the invitation through the official channels really prevented him from understanding the significance of the “Masks,” causing such a big blunder, playing out such a farcical scene.

But he couldn’t admit that the invitation he obtained was from cheating; that would directly expose his uniqueness.

Therefore, he had no choice but to feign composure, swallow the embarrassment, and put on a proud facade as if to say, “I just like this cat mask.”

Perhaps even Einstein himself thought that the code name “Rhein Cat” appearing in the club’s gathering indeed single-handedly lowered the overall prestige, and so he cut losses in time, stripping the last word ‘cat’ from Lin Xian’s name, rebranding him as “Rhein.”

As the member with the least seniority in the club at the moment.

Lin Xian is still in a state of confusion, not knowing what his specific future plans are, nor how to proceed, and the fact that he bungled his first gathering and directly asked Einstein for news of his own death.

Presumably…

In the next gathering on August 1, all members will surely attend, specially to see if he has managed to survive, right?

After all, after the gathering, he has only 15 minutes to transform fate and cheat death, and most likely the majority of the club members believe he’s as good as dead.

But no matter.

The next gathering will be the time for him to establish his mysterious persona; he must completely bamboozle this group of geniuses, ideally fooling everyone with a fake identity.

And then…

He’ll cover for the questions he needs to ask so that no one else could discern his real purpose.

…

Snap.

The pen cap clicked shut.

That’s about all for the summation of the Genius Club members’ information.

Everything else.

Depends on the questions during the next gathering, and on Einstein’s answers!

“Gathering once a month, how agonizingly long.”

Lin Xian glanced at the calendar, the red circle on July 7th still vivid…

But the trajectory of the future has already shifted.

On July 7th, he managed to keep his head; however, Lin Yuxi left him.

Truth be told.

Humanity’s sorrow over parting always comes with a delay.

At the moment Lin Yuxi left, neither Lin Xian nor Zhao Yingjun were able to digest the fact, their confusion and doubt outweighed their grief.

On the first day of Lin Yuxi’s departure, Lin Xian began to act out of hatred, while Zhao Yingjun also numbed herself with busyness, using it to fend off the impending flood of emotions.

But now…

The second day after Lin Yuxi left.

Lin Xian sat in this empty bedroom, missing that lovely daughter who used to sleep soundly next door in the guest room with the Pomeranian, VV…

Gone, forever.

Never to be seen again.

It’s true, really, truly… never to see her again.

An unprecedented sorrow overwhelmed Lin Xian at this silent dawn, like a flood, drowning him until he couldn’t breathe.

Only those who have truly experienced parting know what true separation is.

Human emotions are just so.

Slow to realize, but the aftermath is potent.

Lin Xian took several deep breaths, picked up his phone, and looked at the WeChat interface, at Zhao Yingjun’s avatar.

How is she today…?

Is she swept up by the same emotions, is she sleeping well?

…

Morning.

Just as dawn begins to break.

Just as Lin Xian was about to reach out to Zhao Yingjun, he received a call from Brother Wang first.

“Lin Xian…”

On the other end of the line, Brother Wang’s voice was full of concern:

“President Zhao, she… didn’t come home last night either.”

“The lights in her office were left on until dawn, then she slept in the office’s rest room, and started another busy day of work in the morning.”

“Ah, President Zhao hasn’t been home for two days now…”

Lin Xian exhaled deeply through his nose.

He said softly:

“I understand.”

After saying that.

He hung up the phone.

He got up, washed, dressed, and opened the door of the room.

Previously.

Because of various concerns and matters, there had always been an unbreakable layer between him and Zhao Yingjun.

Not only that.

Lin Xian, also worried about Zhao Yingjun’s safety, had never told her the whole truth, maintaining a certain distance from her.

But now.

It was time…

On the night Lin Yuxi turned into the big blue snowflake, he had solemnly promised Zhao Yingjun that he would take responsibility for Yuxi.

At the same time.

He must take responsibility for Zhao Yingjun as well.

Thud.

Lin Xian closed the door, the sunlight from the corridor flooded in, dazzling his eyes.

He seemed to see Huang Que’s sapphire earrings,

See the little mermaid’s bubbles rising into the sky,

See Lin Yuxi’s ponytail bouncing atop her head,

See the White Jade Statue in Rhine Sky City looking off into the distance.

He extended his right hand, palm shielding the morning sun.

Through the gaps between his four fingers, four different smiles were reflected:

“This time…”

Lin Xian whispered:

“Our family… will never be apart again.”
