Chapter 1012: Chapter 61 Crazy Old Lady_2
Seeing CC this ti.
He was indeed much relieved and gained more hope and confidence in Chu Anqing’s rescue plan.
“Thank you for waiting for here.”
Lin Xian chuckled:
“To be honest, this makes look forward to every dream even more. So… let’s make a promise now—”
“[In every world, wait for at the most conspicuous and iconic place in the East Sea Region, I will definitely co find you!]”
“Sure.”
CC sat on the edge of the flowerbed, swinging her legs, looking up at the round moon in the night sky:
“It’s a deal.”
“So… what exactly is going on with the safe deposit box in this world? Do you have any clues?”
Lin Xian nodded.
Then shook his head:
“I’m not entirely sure either, because the super disaster of the year 2400 really scrambled everything. This is the most thorough kind of ‘historical fault line,’ even making it impossible for to verify the existence of Tem Bank.”
“My current guesses mainly have two directions. One is… Tem Bank disappeared from established history for so reason, perhaps even went bankrupt before the super disaster of the year 2400, aning those safe deposit boxes were dealt with long ago, and naturally, we can’t find them in today’s 2624.”
“The other guess is… the intensity of the super disaster of the year 2400 changed. In the earliest version, the super disaster of 2400 did not directly sweep over Donghai City, Donghai City was abandoned and left to ruin in the subsequent wars. But… if the intensity of this super disaster increased, directly attacking Donghai City with earthquakes or tsunamis, it’s hard to say where the safe deposit boxes of Tem Bank might have ended up.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“But the truth behind the super disaster of the year 2400 remains unclear to this day, and we’re not going to personally witness that disaster in the year 2400, leading us to a complete dead end in searching for clues about Tem Bank and the safe deposit boxes.”
“However, there are solutions. The simplest thod, of course, is to try to prevent the super disaster of the year 2400. As long as the disaster doesn’t happen, then the original Donghai City will continue to thrive until the year 2624, and naturally, we can still find Tem Bank.”
This was the direct strategy that Lin Xian could think of.
From what Turing said, the super disaster of the year 2400 was triggered by a mber of the Genius Club, Galileo.
So just by eliminating Galileo in the year 2024, the culprit, one would naturally avoid the great disaster 400 years later.
However.
Considering Turing’s nature of talking nonsense.
Whether Galileo is the actual culprit still remains to be verified, and one shouldn’t make such a conclusion based solely on one side’s story.
“Actually…”
Lin Xian paused for a mont and continued:
“Actually, I have other ways to find out what’s inside the safe deposit box.”
He turned his head to look at CC:
“Do you want to know? If you do, I can tell you directly.”
CC thought for a mont.
Then she shook her head:
“[I’d rather open it myself.]”
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Her gaze beca intense.
As if…
She was reminiscing about the past, about the Bearded Man VV:
“What’s inside the safe deposit box is very important to ; if I just hear the answer from you, I feel that no matter what the answer is, it seems it won’t satisfy .”
“Or rather… compared to knowing what’s inside the safe deposit box, it seems that the process of opening it, this task, is what’s most important to .”
“So, even if you do know what’s inside the safe deposit box, please don’t tell . I want to open it myself, to have a look… to see what that Bearded Man called VV has left for .”
…
CC’s answer did surprise Lin Xian quite a bit.
He also took a long ti to decide to be honest with CC about what’s inside the safe deposit box.
He thought she would gladly accept and inquire.
But unexpectedly…
CC turned down this shortcut, preferring to open it herself.
Suddenly.
Lin Xian also recalled the Skyspace Aircraft at an altitude of twenty thousand ters, where a blood-stained Chu Anqing handed him a folded note, instructing:
“Read it over there, and you will understand everything.”
This “understanding everything” here…
Seems not to be solely about the truth and illusion of dreams.
Because from the current situation, the possibility of dreams being false is close to zero; he has indeed obtained a lot of useful “wool” from the dreams.
The dreams are likely to be real.
Lin Xian believes that the “understand everything” ntioned by Chu Anqing must have other anings.
So.
Do CC and Chu Anqing’s attitudes towards the safe deposit box and the note constitute another kind of historical closure in a different sense?
“Alright then.”
Lin Xian said.
From this point on, he completely abandoned the idea of opening the safe deposit box in the real world to peek at the note’s content.
Since CC is so persistent, and Chu Anqing has given such instructions.
How could he spoil it halfway through?
Then follow their advice…
Find a way.
To open the safe deposit box in the dream and check the contents of the note.
“Let think of another way about the safe deposit box.”
Lin Xian continued:
“After all… The Future World won’t stay the sa forever, even if this world we’re in now is very beautiful and very happy. But… I have a feeling that it will still change, that there will be newer worlds, and another world waiting for us.”
“Maybe in the next world, we’ll be able to see Tem Bank and the safe deposit box again.”
CC nodded:
“Yes… Other than not being able to find the safe deposit box, everything else about this world is pretty good. Even though technological levels are a bit behind, there is no war, no famine, no disease, and no strife.”
