Chapter 1054: Chapter 4 Countdown (Added for the Alliance Leader Yang Yan Xing!)_3

If it could really save Chu Anqing, Lin Xian would tolerate it; what he feared was waking up from a 200-year hibernation only to find it was a worthless promissory note, an unreachable pie thrown by Einstein, playing him for a fool… That would be truly unbearable.

Then, the second purpose of Lin Xian’s joining the Genius Club was:

2. Clear up the mysteries of the Dream World, the white light at 00:42, the cosmological constant, among other active enigmas.

Likewise.

Now, he neither knew whether Einstein really had the ability to see the future, nor whether it was all just a deception, a trap, a swindle.

He couldn’t ask those questions outright. Rashly asking would only expose his own secret of the dreams and his ability to peer into The Future World; Lin Xian was not that foolish.

Then there was the third purpose of joining the club:

3. To fulfill the promise with Angelica, to take revenge together.

As it stands…

The most likely murderer of Ji Lin’s parents is Copernicus.

If that’s the case, it’s really a cause for celebration.

It was not just Angelica who had a feud with Copernicus; he himself did, too! A deep-seated hatred.

First in the Fourth Dreamland, Copernicus sent people to surround him with airtightness, serving him with electric shock guns;

Then, he sent the Time-Space Assassin Lin Yuxi to assassinate him.

Reflected upon in reverse, this factor truly warrants a thorough review of the old man’s sinister intentions.

Did he deliberately send Lin Yuxi back through time to kill himself?

Perhaps having his brainwashed biological daughter behead him?

Such despicable and disgusting behavior!

From the moment Lin Xian laid eyes on Copernicus, he had identified him as his arch-enemy.

Moreover, there was more.

The grievances of Xu Yun, Tang Xin, they would all ultimately be placed upon Copernicus’s head.

Through Ji Xinshui’s confessions, combined with statements from the Genius Club members just now, one could deduce…

The deaths of Xu Yun, Tang Xin, and Dr. Pang Simai were basically orchestrated by Copernicus.

Therefore, when Ji Xinshui killed these people, there was no need for evidence, no need to prove anything, just kill without thinking.

And the reason why they went through so much trouble to kill him, seeking out various evidence to disrupt history… the reason is that Copernicus had not actually ordered his death, but Ji Xinshui wanted to show off on purpose, proving his capabilities through the act.

In any case.

With all sorts of hatreds piling up.

As soon as Lin Xian gets the opportunity, he would shoot Copernicus in the head with the same decisiveness as when he killed Kevin Walker and Turing, without hesitation.

In the face of such a vile criminal like Copernicus, one need not consider virtues like respecting the old and caring for the young. Just kill.

However, at present, Lin Xian is still waiting for two things.

One is to determine whether Ji Lin’s parents were really killed by him, a point that still needed verification.

The other is, for now, he does not know Copernicus’s real identity and address, and before finding a way to figure it out, he must maintain a low profile and not attract Copernicus’s excessive attention.

…

At this moment.

Einstein, as well as the other geniuses present, were all fixing their gaze on Lin Xian’s face… on that demonic Rhine Cat Mask.

“No.9, Rhein.”

Einstein’s voice, hoarse and authoritative, said:

“Have you decided… what question you want to ask me?”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Lin Xian.

Nodded his head.

Indeed, he had decided.

After weighing all considerations, as his first question after joining the Genius Club, Lin Xian did not plan to leak personal information, neither did he plan to reveal any intelligence.

Instead, as a precautionary measure–

[He wanted to verify whether Einstein really could foresee the future or was just blustering!]

For others, this might be a difficult question to validate accurately.

But Lin Xian was different!

He could really see 600 years into the future.

As long as he takes something with a known accurate answer as a bait to fish for the law, by intentionally asking Einstein… naturally, he would know Einstein’s bottom line.

In addition.

His urgency to join the Genius Club this month was just to see if there was any way within the organization that could help him through the crisis of beheading on July 7th.

Originally, Lin Xian was a bit troubled about how to broach the subject.

Now.

At this moment.

A great opportunity had presented itself.

With one question, he could both verify whether Einstein was lying, and at the same time, comprehend the truth behind July 7th, devising countermeasures to dodge the calamity.

Truly killing two birds with one stone!

Thus.

Wearing the comical Rhine Cat Mask, he slowly raised his head, gazing at Einstein:

“I would like to confirm again if, apart from the three principles, all questions can be answered accurately; and also, if those answers can be detailed down to every single detail, even down to the exact minute and second.”

“Yes.”

Einstein nodded without hesitation:

“As long as your question is specific enough, my answer… will naturally be specific enough.”

“Good.”

Lin Xian nodded his head.

Seeing that everything was ready and confirmation was complete, he could begin his inquiry.

“My question is…”

The Rhine Cat Mask, with an expressionless face towards the remaining six geniuses, spoke word by word:

“My exact time of death: the date, the hour, the minute; and… the precise location and manner of my death.”

“Heh heh.”

After hearing Lin Xian’s question, Einstein revealed a hoarse smile and shook his head:

“Rhein, strictly speaking, this is not one question, but three. However, it doesn’t matter, these can overall be considered as one question, they all amount to ‘how do I die’… you just described it more specifically.”

“Very well, this shows that you have grasped the specific rules of asking questions at the gathering, I am reassured that each member can integrate into the environment so quickly.”

“Then, I will tell you the answer to your question, in full detail.”

Einstein lifted his head as if lost in thought:

“No.9, Rhein.”

“Your manner of death will be decapitation by a single cut at the neck, head separated from the body, resulting in instant death.”

“Your location of death will be in the living room of your own home, right in front of the entrance door.”

“And your exact time of death…”

His tone became heavy:

“The time left until your decapitation and death is…”

“[17 minutes 21 seconds.]”
