Genius Club-Chapter 31 Password

```

Lin Xian felt like he was parting the clouds and seeing the clear sky again.

In the dream, in the bank vault, the safe CC was about to open... had 8 password dials.

Lin Xian had always believed that this 8-digit password must be some date.

It was either a birthday, an anniversary, a significant day... In short, it had to be a date; he never thought there was any other possibility.

But, he was too overconfident.

He had completely forgotten about the matter of the QQ number.

People of Lin Xian’s generation only started to use QQ en masse in elementary and middle school.

Back then, newly registered QQ accounts were all 9 or 10 digits long, and only netizens born in the 80s and 90s would possibly have a QQ number that was 8 digits long.

It was very likely.

This was the correct password for the safe in the dream!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it was exactly 8 digits long?

...

Gao Yang quietly leaned over and waved his hand in front of Lin Xian’s eyes:

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you spaced out or frozen? What are you mumbling about?"

"No, it’s nothing."

Lin Xian came back to his senses, picked up his glass again, and took a sip:

"It’s nothing, sit down and let’s keep eating."

After dinner.

The two decided to head home separately.

Gao Yang pulled open the taxi door, allowing Lin Xian to get in:

"We’re not heading in the same direction, so I won’t see you off. Go on by yourself."

Lin Xian nodded, bent down, and sat in the taxi.

He rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Gao Yang:

"I’m off."

Gao Yang dropped his cigarette butt, took Lin Xian’s hand:

"When you get home and finish that dream, give me a sign! Once you’re sure that your dream is just a dream... I’ll also feel relieved and won’t have to worry about you."

"Yeah, I’m off now."

It was just past eight when he got home, still early enough to check in the dream if what Doctor Liu said was true.

Lin Xian took a shower, which made his groggy mind slightly clearer. He recalled everything that had happened from the time he met Big Face Cat CC... up until today.

He had definitely heard CC’s voice somewhere before, and he might have also seen CC’s face somewhere. Though his memory had forgotten, to use Gao Yang’s words... the subconscious still remembered, which is why he dreamed about it.

Just now, while showering, he had thought of a plan to remove CC’s mask—

1. First, find a way to get rid of Big Face Cat. He absolutely couldn’t let this pig teammate ruin his plan. He was enough to handle CC, and having more people could backfire.

2. CC was very vigilant. If he couldn’t get the C4, he would still need her to crack the bank vault’s password. Therefore, he couldn’t reveal his identity before entering the vault.

3. Combining the above points, there was only one way to achieve his goal. That was to wear the Big Face Cat’s mask and disguise himself as Big Face Cat! Then, as Big Face Cat, take CC to rob the bank.

4. Both Big Face Cat and CC recognized the mask, not the person. As long as he took out Big Face Cat’s underlings quickly enough, he wouldn’t be exposed.

5. Once CC cracked the bank vault’s password door and entered the vault, he would find a way to take off CC’s mask and try opening the safe.

...

There were no issues with this plan procedurally.

Despite there being a straightforward method to rip off CC’s mask directly in the plaza, ...

First, CC had a gun and he did not; he might not be able to beat CC. If he got killed before he could remove the mask, it would have been a wasted night.

Second, he really wanted to try out the safe password. Since he was dreaming anyway, he might as well accomplish two things at once instead of waiting until the next day.

Thinking about how he once wore an Ultraman mask pretending to be CC, and now was about to wear the Rhine Cat Mask to disguise as Big Face Cat... Lin Xian found it quite amusing. Without realizing it, he had mastered the art of role-play, Mission: Impossible, and Infernal Affairs.

"Life is unpredictable, like intestines within intestines."

Actually...

The key to being able to implement this plan was that Big Face Cat and CC were not familiar with each other or even knew each other’s names. They were just temporarily cobbled together, using each other, even thinking of scamming one another, like grouped-up customers at a flash sale.

And it was this lack of knowledge about each other’s identities that allowed Lin Xian to deceive them with just a mask.

As long as Big Face Cat didn’t mess things up, the plan was relatively easy to execute.

Lin Xian stretched, settled into bed:

"Tonight..."

"Let’s bring all the stories to an end,"

Lin Xian closed his eyes and slowly drifted into dreamland.

...

...

Whoosh!

The dry summer wind slapped against his face.

Having shivered from the cold after the bath just now, he was now basking under the scorching sun, Lin Xian truly experienced the thrill of going from icy cold to blazing heat.

Lin Xian looked at the time displayed on the electronic billboard nearby.

[21:11]

At this time, neither Big Face Cat nor CC would have arrived at the square. Based on his experience, Lin Xian guessed their agreed meeting time would be 10 o’clock in the evening.

"I need to act fast,"

Lin Xian looked around and found a community police booth, with two patrolling officers outside.

Generally, these booths would contain police equipment such as grappling batons, electric shock wands, explosion-proof shields, and so on...

Although Lin Xian didn’t know the official names for this equipment, he was all too familiar with their effectiveness—he had been ’educated’ plenty in his dreams over the years.

"The method to make Big Face Cat log off will rely on these police uncles,"

Lin Xian strolled around the east side of the square, looking toward the spot where Big Face Cat’s van usually arrived.

In the past few times, Big Face Cat’s van had always approached from this direction, and today was no exception.

Sure enough.

30 minutes later, Big Face Cat drove that rickety van over, still parking in the familiar spot.

Then, two minutes later, a very familiar corpulent figure jumped down from the van, his face squeezed between layers of fat and wearing a Rhine Cat Mask, looking around.

Lin Xian noticed...

The van hadn’t been turned off; even the driver’s door was only ajar. This was probably the cunning of a professional criminal—ready to escape at a moment’s notice.

After confirming the target had appeared, Lin Xian ran straight into the police booth:

"Comrade officer, there’s been a big incident!"

Lin Xian looked panic-stricken:

"My newly bought Rhine Cat Mask was stolen by that fat guy over there!"

The officer chuckled:

"Seems like it’s not such a big deal. I’ll go get it back for you."

"But he has a gun at his waist."

"Damn!"

The officer sprang into action, grabbing the radio and barking orders. The two patrolling officers outside immediately looked in the direction of Big Face Cat...and slowly approached—

"Freeze!!" "Get your hands behind your back!! Stay put!!"

Big Face Cat was pinned down in a second! With a chokehold and hands behind his back, he was swiftly subdued!

The officer in the booth, taking Lin Xian with him, ran over to where Big Face Cat was held, reaching for his waist...

"He really does have a gun!"

His face turned ashen as he continued to search.

"And there’s even C4 explosives! Keep him under control! I need to call for backup immediately!"

He directed orders into the radio.

Finding firearms in such a densely populated square was no minor matter! Who knew if he had accomplices? And even worse, he was carrying something as terrifying as C4.

"Um..."

Lin Xian quietly stepped forward:

"Can I get my mask back?"

The officer tore off Big Face Cat’s mask and tossed it to Lin Xian.

Just as Big Face Cat was about to protest, his voice was muffled by a hood pulled over his head, and he quieted down.

Lin Xian walked away slowly holding the mask...

He looked at the cute Rhine Cat Mask in his hand and smiled slightly:

"Key prop, Rhine Cat Mask, gotcha~"

He stretched the elastic band and put the mask on his face.

The mask was small.

It just managed to cover Lin Xian’s face:

"Next up... I am Big Face Cat!"
