Genius Club-Chapter 537 - 3 VV, Jask, and Chaos (Extra update for monthly tickets)
"What the hell!"
Gao Yang tenderly covered Lin Xian’s forehead with his palm,
"Do you have a fever? Or did Huang Que drive you mad? Who are you planning to dig a grave for?"
"Besides... even if you wanted to dig a grave for Chu Anqing, you should go back to East Sea City! Why would you go to Qufu, Shandong? That’s Confucius’s place, a sacred land of Confucianism!"
Lin Xian removed Gao Yang’s hand,
"There are many things I can’t explain to you right now, but this matter is closely related to Chu Anqing. Perhaps... the reason Chu Anqing disappeared, the truth, and her current whereabouts, can all be found in Qufu, Shandong."
Gao Yang nodded blankly.
He didn’t understand, but he chose to trust Lin Xian,
"Alright, I’ve gone with you to space, why can’t we go to Qufu, Shandong? Wherever you say we should go, I’ll follow. So, when do we plan to go?"
Lin Xian glanced at his watch.
It was six in the evening. If they left for the airport to go to Shandong now, they would definitely make it.
But the problem was...
he didn’t know where Zhang Yuqian, who died in 2000 and looked just like Chu Anqing, was buried.
How could they dig for DNA without knowing where the grave was?
So, the key for now was to first deal with that middle-aged couple and extract from them where Zhang Yuqian was buried.
Although it was highly unethical and uncivilized.
It had to be done.
Not just for Chu Anqing, but for himself, to understand the truth. Also... if they could really solve the mystery surrounding Chu Anqing, Zhang Yuqian, and CC, it might not be a bad thing for those two grieving elders.
Since it was possible that Chu Anqing hadn’t died.
Then their daughter, Zhang Yuqian... what if she hadn’t died either?
The secret of the Millennium Stakes.
Perhaps it lay within Zhang Yuqian’s grave!
"Let’s first head to Xidan and find a place to stay,"
Lin Xian said,
"Let’s rest for today. We haven’t slept in a long time. Tomorrow I will try to contact some known people in Imperial Capital to first clear up what happened over twenty years ago."
...
Thereafter,
the two packed their luggage and left the aerospace base, boarding a car heading to the vicinity of the Xidan Shopping Center in Imperial Capital.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng took the Space-Time Particles back to East Sea University’s research institute, ready to start calibrating the Space-Time Clock and carry out related research, hoping to make some breakthroughs.
Lin Xian was now single-minded.
All he wanted was to figure out what was happening to Chu Anqing.
The sooner, the better...
Ultimately,
he had to return to East Sea City.
To provide Chu Shanhe with an explanation, right?
On the backseat of the car, Gao Yang leaned back and actually started snoring.
At last, Lin Xian had some time to clear his thoughts.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
Currently,
his situation was the worst it had been since he discovered the truth of the dreams.
It was terrible.
Firstly, the disappearance of VV.
He had always thought that perhaps there was some temporary issue that caused VV to withdraw from the Skyspace Aircraft; it couldn’t just completely disappear, could it?
It was so strong, so smart, surely it had some ace up its sleeve?
Lin Xian had always trusted VV.
Even though it had never truly shown its capabilities, it was, after all, the most powerful super Artificial Intelligence in human history. Logically, in this era, there shouldn’t be any equal competitors.
So, upon returning to the ground and connecting to the normal network, he immediately began calling for VV.
He knew,
If VV was there, it would definitely respond.
Unfortunately...
this time,
no matter how he called, VV never responded.
It couldn’t really be dead, could it!
Within the networks of this era, VV was incredibly aggressive, capable of chasing around Kevin Walker.
It belonged to the "Don’t let me find you, because if I do, I’ll finish you!" type of online bully.
With such formidable power,
who could have actually killed it?
Lin Xian first ruled out Kevin Walker as a suspect.
If Kevin Walker indeed had the ability to kill VV so thoroughly, then there wouldn’t be a reason to wait until now to kill it, everyone understands the principle that villains die because they talk too much. It made no sense strategically or logically for Kevin Walker to let VV develop all this time, adding unpredictability and risk.
It wasn’t a move a cautious hacker would make.
Moreover, without VV, his own combat capability and intelligence-gathering were reduced by at least 98%, leaving him utterly defenseless. So, under circumstances where he posed no threat to Kevin Walker at all, why wouldn’t he just kill VV immediately?
Understanding this logic, it wasn’t hard to conclude—
[The person who killed VV wasn’t Kevin Walker, it must be someone else.]
Great.
He had thought Kevin Walker was his only enemy for now, with Jask and Copernicus both being unpredictable allies or foes, but he hadn’t expected to suddenly have an additional enemy now.
In the end...
who was it that had attacked VV?
And...
Is VV really dead?
Lin Xian shook his head, still somewhat unable to believe it.
VV existed as data streams in the cyber world, it had no physical body, nor did it need hardware. So, the attack against it must have also originated from the cyber world.
Then, with all VV’s flashy skills...
couldn’t it just play the old trick and hide in a non-networked device by transferring itself through cables, sound waves, or electromagnetic waves, like the first time it popped out of a laptop?
"No, wait..."
Lin Xian quickly refuted his own thought,
"If the enemy has the power to directly kill VV, then all the skills VV knows, the enemy would certainly know too. Wherever VV can reach through cables, electromagnetic waves, or sound waves, the enemy can definitely reach as well."
