Chapter 1124: Chapter 24 Copernicus’s Question (Extra for the Internet’s Laughingstock, the Alliance Leader!)_2
Thus, when other geniuses heard Einstein’s answer, they were likely utterly baffled, not knowing what this particular day ant, nor why it was this day.
But Lin Xian knew well.
With this piece of intelligence, he could continue to delve deeper into the investigation, or approach from a different angle.
The so-called “perfect question” was exactly that.
It left others in the dark, while enlightening oneself.
“It’s about ti.”
Lin Xian glanced at the clock in the VR virtual living room.
He picked up the gold badge engraved with the Genius Club’s emblem, and placed it on the NFC sensor area of the VR glasses.
Beep beep.
A soft beep sounded.
The virtual living room in the VR view disappeared, as if entering a space-ti tunnel, dragging Lin Xian back into the grand castle with its antique luxury.
Beneath his feet was the sa soft cashre carpet.
At the end remained the closed double brown wooden doors, behind which Da Vinci’s familiar and clear voice could be heard:
“Has Rhein not arrived yet? Could it be that he didn’t escape the assassination?”
“Such a…pity…”
This stamring and feeble voice was unmistakably Gauss:
“I clearly… warned him… not to take the electric…”
“It seems, things have not been very peaceful lately, or perhaps, so people have started to make their move?”
Interrupting Gauss was Galileo, with a voice deep, steady, and serious:
“Turing is indeed dead for good, this much Einstein has confird; Jask is still active on television, Twitter, and various dinners recently, which is quite unexpected… But why didn’t he co to the eting today?”
“That is indeed a question.”
Ms. Da Vinci’s voice:
“Jask is quite keen on social gatherings, always very proactive in asking questions when he cos here, to tell the truth, I do like his straightforwardness.”
“I saw news about him online just a while ago, still so high-profile, but I don’t understand why he didn’t attend the gathering, this is his first absence.”
“Heh… Heh…”
The dry laugh of Copernicus, quite hoarse:
“I’ve said it, there’s no need to throw all your accusations at , isn’t Jask alive and well?”
“Hmph.”
This was the voice of a young man, but in this club for middle-aged and elderly, there seed to be no young people other than Lin Xian.
Therefore, this cold snort must have co from Newton:
“Copernicus, your feigned sincerity only disgusts . This month, three more scientists have died for various reasons, all at 00:42 local ti… It’s definitely you, or that pack of dogs you keep who are responsible!”
“If you’re thinking of using this to obstruct technological progress… I advise you to give up early. Such despicable thods cannot stop anything. Moreover, among these three scientists, one was a mathematician. You seem to have a particular fondness for killing mathematicians; if it’s technological progress you want to hinder, mathematicians are precisely whom you need the least to kill.”
“So…”
Newton’s voice beca sharp, cutting to the quick:
“So, Copernicus…”
“You’ve killed so many scientists, and you’ve also killed them after they published their results, regardless of the progress of subsequent research or imposing any technology blockade.”
“To , it feels like you’re diverting attention elsewhere, hiding in plain sight, intentionally concealing your true purpose—”
“[What you really want to kill are only the mathematicians; the other scientists are rely smokescreens to distract us.]”
Faced with Newton’s rebuke.
Copernicus kept up his icy laugh:
“Hehehehe… cough cough cough… Stop guessing wildly, old chap.”
“Over the years, you’ve never guessed correctly. However, I also admire you; for just as many years, not only have I not caught who you are, but I also haven’t been able to guess what your future plans are… So compared to , you’re much better at hiding, old chap.”
“Didn’t you say you were going into hibernation, Copernicus?”
Ms. Da Vinci’s voice ca through:
“You ntioned last ti you were ready to hibernate, so why haven’t you gone yet? To be honest, I feel that the atmosphere and ambiance here would be better without you attending the gatherings.”
“But I’m still very concerned about Rhein’s situation; it wouldn’t be that Rhein died just minutes after our last gathering, would it?”
“Einstein, could you please tell us Rhein’s status?”
Finally.
An authoritative voice that had not spoken yet rang out:
“Let him tell you himself.”
Squeak——————
The ancient and heavy double wooden doors were pushed open from the outside.
A tall figure, wearing the comical Rhine Cat Mask, strode along the red cashre carpet into the golden hall!
“Rhe… Rhein…”
The slender Gauss, propped up by a black wooden chair, seed to attempt to stand:
“You haven’t… you didn’t…”
“Miracle.”
Next to him, the middle-aged man Galileo interrupted Gauss again:
“To escape targeted assassination within a re ten minutes is indeed extrely difficult.”
“What’s most important is that there was no follow-up news whatsoever; it seems Rhein has so skills, handling the matter very cleanly.”
“Heh.”
Lin Xian chuckled lightly.
Sitting in his own black high-back chair, he crossed his legs:
“It was just a little ga with the kids.”
Ms. Da Vinci couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she looked at Lin Xian’s amusing mask and heard his words:
“Playing a ga… Haha, are you playing the toy?”
Across from him.
Galileo took a deep breath:
“I’m really curious, but I didn’t ask at the last gathering. Could you share with us your thought process? Exactly why… would you choose such a ridiculous mask to wear to the Genius Club eting?”
