Chapter 585: Chapter 18: The Real Invitation (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_2 Chapter 585: Chapter 18: The Real Invitation (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_2 He pondered once more about the words Huang Que first said to him when she presented the Mirror Puzzle.
It turned out…
That the invitation to the Genius Club was indeed what Huang Que referred to as the thing he most desired, which is why she kept reminding him, in the mirror.
This was indeed the truth.
No matter whether it was his past self or his current self, the thing he most wanted was precisely this invitation to the Genius Club.
The person he was back then had just solved the Seven Sins and was eager to know what exactly the Genius Club was, what they wanted to do, and what kind of organization it was.
His current self was even more eager to join the Genius Club, to have face-to-face contact with those so-called geniuses, to see what they were really up to inside their gourds.
...
And…
he hoped to find out the truth about the Millennium Stakes in the Genius Club and save Chu Anqing!
Huang Que kept talking about mirrors, mirrors, and he indeed looked in them many tis, for a very long ti.
But who could have thought…
That her so-called advice to look in the mirror more often was just to allow him to chance upon that specific mont, to be looking in the mirror exactly at 00:42!
Yet, this ti point was really too special for him.
When he first received the Mirror Puzzle, he was still in the Third Dreamland, parachuting and coding day and night.
Each day he woke up, it was already 00:42, so it was too late, and he didn’t even consider that he needed to look in the mirror at this specific ti.
Because at that ti, his knowledge and concern for 00:42 weren’t that significant, it was just a ti when the dream ended and the Seven Sins committed murder; frankly, there was nothing special about it.
Later on…
The Third Dreamland beca the Fourth Dreamland.
Every night he beca even busier.
Not only did he need to enter multiple dreams at various tis to test the tightness of the encirclent, but he also had to check daily for the appearance of the airships from Tem Bank.
His dream entry schedule was packed full, so upon waking, he had already missed 00:42.
However, this is not the point…
In the end, although it was late, he eventually succeeded in solving the Mirror Puzzle.
But the question is…
“Why is it the mirror?
Why exactly in the mirror do such supernatural events occur?”
Lin Xian scratched his head and walked over to the sink, leaning close to the mirror to inspect it.
The Lin Xian in the mirror also leaned in, his eyes wide open, gazing eye-to-eye with Lin Xian.
This was just an ordinary mirror.
He had used it for several years; it couldn’t get more ordinary or more normal.
He then checked from the side.
Through the gap between the mirror and the wall, he could even see the tiles on the other side.
This showed that the mirror was indeed normal, there were no tricks involved, nor had it been tampered with.
“This also ans that the focus is not on the mirror, but on the eerie ti point of [00:42].”
“In this supernatural event, the mirror is just a base, not a necessary condition.
So apart from the ti point of 00:42, staring at it for any longer is aningless.”
“Only at the mont of 00:42, will the reflection in the mirror beco unsynchronized, and be able to cross the mirror surface, reaching out a hand to pass the invitation to the Genius Club…”
He couldn’t figure out why, if what was in the mirror was a shadow, an illusion, a reflection of light, it could turn into a solid object?
Lin Xian had to co up with a scientific explanation for this.
He was a warrior of materialism and could not easily accept supernatural events.
Moreover, the Genius Club was not a paranormal organization.
They also followed the cosmic Space-ti Law and physics.
At least for now, no supernatural powers or extraordinary strengths were apparent.
Even space-ti travelers like Huang Que, individuals like Chu Anqing synonymous with the Millennium Stakes, were still subject to the restrictions of Space-ti Law.
Jask and Kevin Walker had never exceeded the limits of humans.
This indicates…
“Existence is reasonable.”
“Since the mirror becos strange at 00:42, as if connected to so other space…
then it must be allowed by the laws of this universe.”
“Since it is within the law, then it must be explainable with rules and laws.”
Lin Xian stroked his chin.
He pondered this issue seriously.
Mirror, space, crossing, penetrating…
Suddenly!
He vividly recalled a concept proposed by Liu Feng—
[Space-Ti Rift]!
Back in the lab at East Sea University, when they discussed how space-ti particles could arrive in our space-ti from the outside, Liu Feng had said that space-ti was not entirely isolated from one another, and there might be so unknown cracks in the Space-ti Wall.
It was precisely because of the existence of these cracks…
Space-ti travel beca possible, not only for humans who mastered certain technologies to transmigrate from an external space-ti to this one; space-ti particles could also drift in through these Space-Ti Rifts, becoming outsiders in this space-ti.
In a stricter and more widespread inference then…
If both humans and space-ti particles can pass through a Space-Ti Rift, then why can’t his own arm, and that invitation to the Genius Club, too?
In a flash…
An epiphany dawned upon Lin Xian.
He felt as if he had grasped the answer…
The concept of a Space-Ti Rift was quite abstract.
Neither Lin Xian nor Liu Feng could clearly define what a Space-Ti Rift looked like, where it was, or under what circumstances it would be discovered.
They rely used the term Space-Ti Rift because describing it as a crack was more straightforward and common, so they called this pathway for things to travel through space-ti a Space-Ti Rift.
But obviously…
A Space-Ti Rift is not a crack in the common sense, not a broken gap.
