Chapter 1056: Chapter 5 Qiaoqiao and Yu Xi_2

Lin Xian didn’t know if the intelligent Newton had guessed the answer to the question about the “Principle of Time Shuttle Machine,” which was right in his hands.

Anyway.

This playful old man stood up very righteously to take the blame and fiercely mocked Copernicus.

And now.

This elder brother was about to make things convenient for Lin Xian again.

He pretended to look at his watch and shouted:

“Einstein! Now that everyone has finished asking questions, isn’t it time to end this meeting? My grandchildren are already too impatient; I can hear them banging on the living room door, can we end the meeting now!”

Lin Xian was no fool.

He could tell that Newton was rushing to adjourn the meeting for his sake; although it would not be a bad idea to immediately take off the VR glasses and flee.

But perhaps in the eyes of the elder brother Newton, the people sitting on the right side were his people; he should “cover” these underlings.

In fact, from the details, it could be seen that the members present truly lived up to the name of geniuses; everyone was an acting master, each with countless tricks up their sleeves.

Einstein, hearing the urging, also slowly nodded and raised his hands:

“Then, since the last genius also got the answer to the question, according to the meeting agenda, our monthly gathering ends here.”

“Rhein, just as Miss Da Vinci said, we know the purpose of the future, and the reason we sit here is to change it, to steer it towards a better direction.”

“So… I sincerely hope, on our routine gathering on August 1st, one month from now, I can still see the figure of this cute cat on your face. I really like it, it brings a different vitality to the club.”

“So, let’s adjourn!”

With Einstein announcing the adjournment of the meeting.

All members collectively stood up and began disappearing.

Skinny Gauss across looked at Lin Xian and slowly said:

“Rhein, don’t… take… the elevator… that way… will…”

“Thank you, Gauss.”

For the first time, Lin Xian interrupted him and waved his hand:

“Let’s talk next time!”

After saying that.

He yanked off the VR glasses–

The brightly lit hall in his view disappeared, replaced by the dimly lit living room without the lights on, and…

On the coffee table.

The lit-up phone screen, receiving a call from Zhao Yingjun.

Since the phone was on silent, there was no ring or vibration sound; naturally, Lin Xian hadn’t noticed the phone’s activity earlier.

“Yingjun is calling me…”

Lin Xian quickly figured it out:

“Then it must be a problem with Qiaoqiao.”

He couldn’t afford to consider too much, picked up the phone from the coffee table, pressed the answer key, and then immediately dashed out the door, sprinting down the stairs:

“Hello?”

“Lin Xian! Qiaoqiao is missing!”

On the phone, Zhao Yingjun’s voice was unusually anxious:

“I… I don’t know when she disappeared, I just woke up and saw she wasn’t in bed, called her a few times and got no response… so I got up to find her!”

“Then, there’s a lot of blood on the bathroom floor! I searched other places and found Qiaoqiao had taken off her pajamas, changed into sportswear that she doesn’t usually like to wear… she clearly prefers dresses normally.”

“Moreover, the kitchen knife is missing! What is Qiaoqiao up to! She couldn’t be sleepwalking, right? The moment I discovered this I called you, after five calls you finally picked up… I’m going out searching for Qiaoqiao now, should we call the police?”

“I’ll handle it.”

Lin Xian had roughly understood what had happened.

At this time, wearing sportswear and taking a kitchen knife…

What else could Yan Qiaoqiao be doing?

She was definitely here to take someone’s life!

Although he still didn’t know what had happened exactly, it was highly likely…

[Yan Qiaoqiao had regained her memory, transformed back into Lin Yuxi, ready to resume the interrupted mission!]

“I’ll handle it, don’t worry.”

Lin Xian reassured Zhao Yingjun and hung up.

Now was not the time to explain so many things; there were less than fifteen minutes left until his scheduled death.

Escaping was the priority!

First, save his life by leaving this area, then deal with the aftermath.

Hanging up Zhao Yingjun’s call.

Lin Xian, with his parkour skills fully deployed, kept performing back-and-forth jumps over the staircases, descending much faster than taking the elevator.

Thump.

The final jump.

He successfully landed in the lobby on the first floor and quickly ran towards the building’s exit.

He picked up his phone to check the time.

But he discovered…

During the time he attended the Genius Club meeting, besides Zhao Yingjun’s four missed calls, there were also 27 missed calls from Liu Feng!

Liu Feng.

His calling at this time meant there must have been a change in the readings on the Space-Time Clock!

This was important information.

He must find out more.

Thus, as he sprinted full force towards the residential complex’s back exit, he redialed Liu Feng’s number.

Immediate answer.

The voice on the other end roared:

“Lin Xian! Why can’t you ever be reached by phone!”

“No nonsense.”

Lin Xian continued to run at full speed:

“Get to the point, has the Space-Time Clock’s readings changed?”

“Yes.”

Liu Feng was much clearer and more articulate than Gauss:

“The space-time curvature has changed to -0.0000042”

“What?”

Lin Xian widened his eyes in surprise:

“Negative? Has the world line dropped?”

Running at full speed while talking on the phone.

Caused Lin Xian to breathe somewhat unevenly.

He maneuvered left and right through the landscaping, and could already see the exit of the residential complex’s south gate in the distance.

Negative…

The curvature of the world line turning negative; although initially surprising, it actually made sense.
