Genius Club-Chapter 566 - 12 The Three Laws of Millennium Stakes (Additional update for alliance leader Shadowflame.kp!!)_2

"I remember, at that time it was Chu Anqing who kept crying and questioning Huang Que, until Huang Que reluctantly asked, ’You already know?’ This shows that the situation at that time even exceeded Huang Que’s understanding! In fact, I feel like many things about that day’s Space-Time Particle capture plan were not within Huang Que’s expectations, full of unforeseen situations."

Lin Xian nodded:

"But one thing is certain, Huang Que must have known that the Millennium Stakes could detect the special characteristics of Space-Time Particles, and that’s why she purposefully took Chu Anqing aboard the Skyspace Aircraft, yet didn’t assign her any specific task."

"This further confirms that on January 21, 2000, when Zhang Yuqian disappeared, there really were no Space-Time Particles around. Otherwise, even if others couldn’t see them, Zhang Yuqian definitely would have seen them, and now we can firmly establish that."

"Not only that, Huang Que also knew that the Millennium Stakes would disappear at 00:42 on one’s 20th birthday, which is pretty obvious. She had known all along that, whether or not Chu Anqing encountered the Space-Time Particle, she would definitely disappear at 00:42. That’s why she shouted at that moment, saying I didn’t need to save her... Because she was bound to disappear sooner or later, so what was the point of saving her?"

Suddenly.

Lin Xian recalled something Huang Que had once said.

The woman had said, if this Space-Time Particle is lost, the future, the world, everything will turn out very badly.

This indicates that she had experienced such a terrible world, and even more likely, that she had traveled from that terrible world, that terrible future.

Therefore, she planned such a desperate and treacherous Space-Time Particle capture mission in order to change everything.

Huang Que in the past might have only seen Space-Time Particles, knew about them... but had never actually captured one, at least not this particular one.

By the same logic.

Huang Que had seen the Millennium Stakes, knew about their ability to detect Space-Time Particles, knew about the Millennium Stake’s fate to disappear at 00:42 on one’s 20th birthday... but she didn’t know what would happen once the Millennium Stakes touched a Space-Time Particle, which not only deviated from the history she knew but also went beyond her understanding."

"No wonder..."

Gao Yang snorted:

"No wonder Huang Que so readily agreed to let Chu Anqing exit the cabin to capture Space-Time Particles, that was her plan all along, wasn’t it? She knew full well that Chu Anqing was going to disappear anyway, so she simply didn’t care about Chu Anqing’s life or death, she was only thinking about using Chu Anqing to capture the Space-Time Particle!"

"Well, it’s hard to say."

Lin Xian patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, urging him not to dwell on past events.

Nobody knew what Huang Que’s original plan was.

She herself would probably take that secret to her grave.

To think positively, maybe Huang Que brought Chu Anqing along just in case. After all, if Gao Yang had exerted a bit of effort and directly captured the Space-Time Particle, would there have been any need for Chu Anqing to act?

To think negatively, perhaps Huang Que always knew that Gao Yang couldn’t capture it, and that the Space-Time Particle would become transparent and invisible, so the only way to capture the Space-Time Particle was to have Chu Anqing exit the cabin to capture it.

"It’s all in the past, Gao Yang, Huang Que might have done some things wrong, but fundamentally, she did it for me. So let’s not fixate on this, and look forward instead."

The two left the residential area, hailed a taxi, and prepared to return to the hotel to rest.

"You say..."

After the two settled into the back seat of the taxi, Gao Yang turned his head to look at Lin Xian:

"After Chu Anqing encountered the Space-Time Particle, what exactly did she awaken in her mind? It couldn’t have been Zhang Yuqian’s memories, could it?"

Lin Xian shook his head:

"I’m not sure, and I can’t guess. But I feel that the memories she awakened must have been plentiful and crucial. After all, Zhang Yuqian’s life of 20 years was too monotonous and simple to give Chu Anqing the confidence to write that note to me."

"But this question isn’t important, because when I see the contents of that note in the future, I will understand everything. Just as Chu An said... I will definitely understand, I trust her."

"So... let’s not worry about so many unnecessary things now, and focus on summarizing the theories regarding the Millennium Stakes."

As he spoke.

Lin Xian, in his mind and based on the clues already known, derived the second theory regarding the Millennium Stakes:

[Since the time of the Millennium Stakes’ disappearance is fixed and unchangeable... That means the interval between the placement of the Millennium Stakes is a stable 24 years.]

So, placing a Millennium Stake every 24 years... just how long would this continue?

Do they actually need to do this for a thousand years?

The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on freёnovelkiss.com.

That can’t be necessary...

Is a thousand years a long time?

Compared to the scale of the universe, a thousand years is not that long. Even on Earth’s time scale, it isn’t considered an extremely lengthy period.

If it’s really calculated on the basis of 1000 years.

Placing a stake every 24 years.

How many times would that be?

"1000 divided by 24…" Lin Xian was mentally calculating.

"42."

Gao Yang blurted out:

"It’s not an exact division, rounding up it’s 42. If it were 1008, then divided by 24 it divides perfectly, and the result is 42."

Lin Xian looked incredulously at Gao Yang:

"You calculated that pretty fast."

"That’s from calculating car loans all the time..." Gao Yang chuckled and said:

"These kinds of multiplications and divisions by 12, 24, 36, I do them every day, calculating interest rates and stuff... After doing it so much, of course, I memorized it."

[42]

Lin Xian also didn’t expect that this mysterious number would resurface so unexpectedly.

If the Millennium Stakes really needed to be placed for a thousand years, it didn’t necessarily have to be exactly 1000 years, 1008 years could also fit the description of a Millennium Stakes, and that’s allowed in common parlance.
