Genius Club-Chapter 569 - 13 VV’s Message (Added for Alliance Leader Evil Cat!!)_2

As it stands, the issues with Fourth Dreamland weren’t resolved yet, so Lin Xian decided not to think about anything else.

It was best to keep the hope on Liu Feng for now.

At this moment,

Gao Yang had also finished reading Zhang Yuqian’s journal and walked over indifferently, handing it to Lin Xian:

"There’s nothing interesting at all, it’s probably Zhang Yuqian’s diary from when she was a teenager, all about music-related stuff, ugh, so dull."

Lin Xian took the journal:

"What else did you expect? What did you want to see?"

"It should have some of that girlish sentiment! All shy and crushes on some handsome guy or whatever! But this girl, Zhang Yuqian, really had eyes only for music; the diary’s just full of song reviews or copied lyrics."

Lin Xian chuckled:

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"You’re thinking too much; back in the ’80s and ’90s, it was so conservative, boys and girls barely spoke to each other, even in university."

"When we were in university, our teachers told us about how back then East Sea University had a rule explicitly banning romantic relationships. At night, teachers really used to go around in groups with flashlights on the sports field, catching people. Boys and girls didn’t dare walk together."

"It was only after entering the 21st century that people’s mindsets liberalized and schools became less strict. After all, universities in the ’80s and ’90s were not like they are now, the academic atmosphere was very intense, after graduation everyone was assigned a job, and when you started work you were allocated a house, so everyone studied hard."

"Exactly!"

Gao Yang exclaimed:

"If they assigned me a job and a house upon graduation, I’d go to Tsinghua too!"

"Keep dreaming."

Lin Xian, uninterested in continuing the conversation, picked up Zhang Yuqian’s journal to flip through.

This journal was indeed very exquisite and high-end; although the pages had yellowed a bit, they were still very sturdy and posed no problem for normal browsing.

Lin Xian read it from beginning to end...

And found, indeed, that there was absolutely nothing valuable in the journal.

Not a single bit.

Zhang Yuqian was a rich girl who excelled in both academics and character, obedient and well-behaved, sticking to a routine and never straying, focused only on studying, listening to music, and playing the piano.

This journal, rather than calling it a diary, would be better described as a lyric book, a log of musical insights.

Just as Gao Yang said, utterly dull.

But, just in case some crucial information was overlooked, Lin Xian patiently read it carefully from start to finish for half an hour.

As it turned out,

indeed a half hour of life was wasted.

"See, I was right, wasn’t I? Good thing we didn’t force the lock open in the beginning."

Lin Xian placed the journal on the coffee table on the balcony, turned to Gao Yang:

"This journal is really worthless, not a single useful bit of information. On the contrary... it’s the password for this lock that’s somewhat intriguing."

"Zhang Yuqian, a girl who lived between 1980 and 2000, why would she set the password of her diary to 1952? Why is this year so special to her, and how did she come to notice this year?"

Gao Yang pulled up a chair and sat across from Lin Xian:

"It depends on how you want to interpret it; if you think in the direction of the Millennium Stakes, in 1952 there definitely was a girl who looked exactly like Chu Anqing, who turned into Blue Stardust and fulfilled her mission as a Millennium Stake, making a mark in history."

"So, could Zhang Yuqian’s setting this as her password lock have something to do with this event? Like... could she have dreamt about something! Dreamt about something that happened in 1952? Or dreamt about a girl in 1952 who looked exactly like her, and that’s why she dwelled on that year?"

"But thinking about this now is pointless, after all, Zhang Yuqian has already died, the dead cannot talk, and without proof, all these guesses, whether true or false, cannot be verified."

"The only certain thing is, in 1952, there definitely was a girl who vanished as a Millennium Stake. That’s all. As for whether she was the first, or if there was something special... I’m afraid that aside from actually traveling back to 1952 yourself to check, there’s no other way."

"Besides, even if you really could travel back to 1952, the world’s so big, technology wasn’t advanced, transportation wasn’t developed, where would you start looking for a girl that looks exactly like Chu Anqing? It’s unrealistic, forget about it."

...

Lin Xian propped his chin and thought for a while.

Indeed.

Currently, there are still too few clues, too little information; about the period in 1952, he couldn’t conclude anything substantial.

"Let’s set this issue aside for now, let’s head back to East Sea City."

...

Boom——

The Boeing plane carrying Lin Xian and Gao Yang took off once again.

This was likely the last leg of their current travels.

Once back in East Sea City, Lin Xian and Gao Yang would part ways.

Each to their own home, each to their own business.

The Space-Time Particles had been captured, but there was still much to be resolved.

The unknown enemy, Kevin Walker;

The life-or-death status of VV, and uncertainties about a possible revival;

He had to go back and explain things to Chu Shanhe;

Tending to the research on the cosmic constant with Liu Feng was necessary, checking on the recalibrated Space-Time Clock, and figuring out what to do with the subsequent Space-Time Particles;

The most crucial issue was dealing with his Hafnium Alloy Safe at Tem Bank, where he needed to store the little note left to him by Chu Anqing;

Also, there was the Mirror Puzzle left by Huang Que.

He always felt that this would be a critical turning point, an incredibly crucial breaking point.

Because Huang Que had mentioned at the beginning:
