Chapter 1055: Chapter 5 Qiaoqiao and Yu Xi

What?

Lin Xian’s eyes widened.

17 minutes… 21 seconds…

He would die?

To be honest, he had braced himself for this moment. If Einstein would answer July 7th to his question, he would openly acknowledge the other party’s mighty prowess, and their ability to see the accurate future.

After all, from the three dreamlands: The Fifth Dreamland, The Sixth Dreamland, and The Seventh Dreamland, ironclad evidence exists that he would die on July 7th.

As long as Einstein could come up with the date, it would indeed prove that he wasn’t lying.

But Lin Xian had never imagined…

That the ultimate answer he would receive would be this horror-stricken!

Wait a minute.

His brain was racing with thoughts.

First of all,

Einstein precisely articulated the method of death: decapitation. This, with high probability, suggested the truth to his prophecy. This old man was truly skillful; Lin Xian believed it.

Secondly,

Why… has the time of his death changed?

What caused the date of his death to move from July 7th to July 1st, a week ahead?

The nearer the crisis, the more active a person’s thoughts become.

Lin Xian quickly figured out the answer—

[The Space-Time Butterfly Effect had occurred, and the future trajectory had changed.]

So,

Where was the source? What was the irretrievable anchor point?

With high probability…

It was on Jask!

The disappearance of Jask’s virtual image had led many to believe he was dead, so much so that Copernicus began to feign sorrow in pretense.

However, Lin Xian was 100% sure that Jask was not dead.

What kind of fool, after being reminded of his imminent demise and knowing there was a traitor among them, would still get killed by the enemy?

An ordinary person, maybe.

A genius like Jask, a smart person, would definitely not make such a basic mistake.

Therefore,

Needless to say,

The disappearance of Jask’s virtual image must have been a “Feigned Death”… a part of his ‘crown prince changing the raccoon’ plan.

Then, continuing the reasoning.

Jask, who was supposed to die in the predetermined history, did not die, and with his achievements and significance, causing changes in the curvature of space-time and the leap of world lines was not surprising to Lin Xian.

Only this time, the Space-Time Butterfly Effect triggered by Jask was a bit too strong… not only did it rewrite the ledger of his own life and death, but also for some bizarre reason, it brought forward Lin Xian’s death date!

At present,

Lin Xian could only deduce this much in just a few seconds.

The specific truth and answers would have to wait until after 17 minutes, once he could keep his head attached, to be thoroughly analyzed and figured out.

The primary objective now…

Was of course to keep his head and make a swift escape!

From Einstein’s narrative, it wasn’t hard to deduce that the location of his death would be in his home’s living room, by the front door.

Therefore, the killer was most likely coming to his door to perform the deed.

In any case, leaving home was the correct choice.

Unexpectedly…

His first attendance at the Genius Club meeting was leaving in such a rush.

It seemed a bit lacking in style.

After all, he had just dissed Copernicus, and now to skedaddle directly, wouldn’t it give Copernicus something to laugh at?

Sure enough,

Only a few seconds after Einstein stopped speaking, Copernicus started laughing with a “hehe”:

“What a surprise…”

He even lightly started applauding, smirking as he said:

“Truly, I did not expect to unexpectedly… witness the downfall of two geniuses today. It’s really… quite an eye-opener.”

Beside him,

The middle-aged man, Galileo, was still as solemn and upright, his voice magnetic and deep:

“17 minutes, either hunted purposefully by the killer, death in a most tragic form… Rhein, although we don’t know your real identity or who you’ve provoked, what industry you work in.”

“But I’m afraid… all of this, tomorrow’s news will tell us the answers. As fellow members of the Genius Club, and being your senior, I certainly don’t wish to hear the news of a junior’s demise.”

“However, it’s a shame. The future seen by Einstein is absolute, beyond doubt, that much has been verified by everyone here in their own ways.”

Yet,

After Galileo finished,

Da Vinci sneered dismissively:

“Heh, that might not be the case!”

She turned her head, looking at the Rhine Cat Mask on Lin Xian’s face, speaking quickly:

“Rhein, what is the purpose of your inquiry into the future? What do you want to know about the future for?”

Her tone carried a grandmotherly warmth, earnest and heartfelt.

After a pause,

She continued:

“[Knowing the future is not about complying with it, but to… change the future.]”

“I do not doubt Einstein’s prophecy is wrong, but, everything that has not yet occurred can be changed.”

“Just as what we have steadfastly done, and just like the second question you solved after receiving the invitation… The purpose of our gathering here is to create the future!”

“This future is not only the future of human civilization but also your future. I always believe that everyone’s future is in their own hands.”

“So, don’t treat the future that hasn’t happened as if it were fixed history, even if it’s only 17 minutes away… the wood has not yet been made into a boat, the drop has not yet hit the ground, there is still time.”

“Exactly.”

Next to her, Newton, as expected, shared Da Vinci’s enmity.

Rather,

For him, the enemy of his enemy was his friend; even before Lin Xian took his seat, the wave of taunting directed at Copernicus directly maxed out the fondness of that old childish Newton.
