Chapter 1039: Chapter 67 Genius Club (Two-in-One Finale Chapter)_6
He walked forward.
The virtual image of leather shoes and suit trousers appeared below, taking large strides ahead.
The sound of the leather shoes rubbing against the cashre carpet, ticulously detailed, reached his ears.
He rembered what the salesperson said in the afternoon.
The more exquisite the materials and resources, the better the VR experience.
Without a doubt…
The castle designed by the Genius Club, this carpet, the brown wooden door in front of him, and the party hall behind, are all top-notch.
As far as the eye can see, it was sowhat hard to distinguish between virtual and reality.
Click, click, click.
The leather shoes stepped on the soft carpet, Lin Xian got closer to the brown double doors, gradually hearing the discussion inside.
“Oh? Is there a newcor today? Hehe, the last genius… has indeed made us wait quite a while.”
This was a booming young man’s voice.
Followed by the light laughter of a woman:
“Now that all the mbers of the Genius Club have arrived, I’m really curious… Which painting did he use? I searched for a long ti and couldn’t find the last one.”
“Hmm…”
A deep pondering voice, that of a middle-aged man:
“After decoding ‘The Sorrowful Einstein’ puzzle and receiving the invitation, we destroyed the painting… It’s only you young people who don’t follow the rules and still mislead others by leaving them out.”
“That one in the British Museum, that was [Da Vinci]’s, wasn’t it? I know another one is in the hands of a director in Hollywood; that was [Newton]’s, but I don’t know where it was sold to later.”
“Where the remaining paintings are… I have no idea, anyway, we destroyed all of ours. But even if you ask that new person later, he won’t tell you. To tell would be to expose his identity.”
“Hehe.”
The woman chuckled:
“Why not just ask [Turing]? It knows everything.”
“Turing.”
The woman’s voice raised:
“Turing? What’s with Turing today, silent as a mute, not saying a single word.”
Cough cough…
An elderly person cleared his throat heavily, authoritative yet hoarse:
“[Turing] is dead.”
“We know that.”
The woman’s voice moved to another direction:
“Didn’t you say last month that Turing died, and now his digital life replaces him?”
“The sa.”
The elderly man’s hoarse voice:
“The digital life is also dead… Turing, has completely left us.”
Suddenly a mixture of confusion and discussion.
Lin Xian got closer to the brown doors, and the discussions beca clearer.
“Who could kill a digital life?”
The young man’s voice was surprised:
“How could this be done? But… Hahaha, I should thank this person, I don’t like digital life, it makes feel really insecure. Especially since the last eting, [Turing]’s earnest speech… made particularly uncomfortable.”
“Everyone is really here today.”
Another old voice, not as old, but very spirited and clear:
“[Copernicus]? How long has it been since you’ve co to a eting, what kind of wind blew you this way?”
“Hehehehe…”
The familiar dry laughter.
Made Lin Xian, who was approaching the brown doors, frown slightly.
This unique dry laugh…
He was too familiar with it.
It was the mysterious old man from the Fourth Dreamland!
Sure enough…
He is Copernicus!
After the dry laugh, Copernicus’s voice was slightly ethereal, seemingly lacking strength:
“I specifically ca here today… to witness the fall of a genius.”
A few seconds of silence.
Then the woman’s voice ca first:
“Who? Turing? Did you already know Turing is dead?”
“No…”
Two dry laughs again.
Lin Xian stood inches away from the brown double doors, Copernicus’s pale and powerless voice coming through from inside:
“It’s another one… a friend who didn’t quite give face.”
…
Mi Country, Texas State, Boca Chica, Space-T Starship launch center, Jask’s private office.
Click.
The password door, only accessible by him and his female secretary, responded to her entry.
Tap, tap, tap, tap.
The voluptuous female secretary stepped inside with high heels, walking to the opposite side of the desk… where the world’s richest man, Jask, lay back in his chair, wearing huge VR glasses.
She pushed her red-frad glasses up.
Raised the pistol in her right hand and placed it on the shell of the VR glasses.
“Hm?”
The tall world’s richest man felt pressure on his glasses and made a sound of confusion.
But.
He wasn’t given a second chance to doubt.
Bang!!
Gunsmoke filled the air; the bullet’s trendous kinetic energy pierced through the VR glasses, through Jask’s forehead and the back of his head, through the back of the boss chair’s solid wood panel, and with bursts of brain matter and blood, hit the white wall behind.
Jask’s head drooped imdiately.
At the back of his head, an alarming large hole burst open, continuously oozing out red and white mire.
“Goodbye, Jask.”
The female secretary pushed her red-frad glasses up:
“Do you rember what I once told you about what I studied at MIT?”
She turned around.
Walked out of the office, and shut the door behind her—
…
Bang!
Donghai University’s Rhine Laboratory.
Liu Feng’s eyes widened as he sprang up from his chair.
“The Space-Ti Clock!”
He yelled, dropping the device he was studying, and crowded to the central experint table.
He wasn’t mistaken!
The reading on the Space-Ti Clock had changed again!
Just now it was 0.0000336…
But now!
It had beco 0.0000294.
However, in the blink of an eye, the space-ti curvature changed again—
0.0000252,
0.0000210…
“[The… The world line is falling!]”
Liu Feng frantically tried to reach Lin Xian by phone.
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
The powerless tone of waiting for the phone to be picked up rang out, but no one answered.
