Genius Club-Chapter 577 - 15 Safe Closed Loop!_4

The entire wall was made of thick alloy, and Lin Xian wasn’t sure if it was hafnium alloy; it didn’t look like it, but it was already formidable enough that he figured C4 wouldn’t blow it open.

This presented a bit of a problem for him.

If he and CC still needed to sneak into Tem Bank in Dream World 600 years later... how would they get past this obstacle!

However, after watching Brother Wang operate and finally open the metal vault door with a password lock, Lin Xian felt relieved.

After all, it was still an electronic password lock, and having CC, the code expert, was enough.

"Come in, Lin Xian, and take a look at our hafnium alloy safe!"

Brother Wang excitedly urged Lin Xian to enter the warehouse.

Entering, Lin Xian looked around.

Just like the photos Brother Wang had sent him, hafnium alloy safes were embedded in the concrete walls on all sides.

Seeing it with his own eyes was indeed impressive.

Soon, Brother Wang led Lin Xian to the central area, grinning as he pointed to safe number 66:

"Look! This is the one I saved for you!"

"Actually, every safe is identical in size, material, and craftsmanship, there’s nothing special to adjust, but some clients like to pick their numbers, so of course, I had to save the best for you!"

Then.

Brother Wang pointed around:

"In this safe warehouse, to protect each client’s privacy, we haven’t installed any surveillance cameras. It’s necessary because these hafnium alloy safes use mechanical password locks that can only be set once and can never be changed."

"Thus, we have to sacrifice a bit of security for the sake of confidentiality. However, with such high security and defense levels here, and being in the city center, no thief would dare to rob us haha... even if they wanted to steal something, they’d have to crack the hafnium alloy safe’s password!"

"Otherwise, given the durability of these hafnium alloy safes, not even a large bomb could blow them open, and any thief would be wasting their time. Moreover, many of the items stored here don’t have much monetary value; they are more of sentimental value, not worth much money. Thus, the cost-benefit ratio of stealing from us is way too low."

Squeak—

Brother Wang directly pulled open the safe labeled with Lin Xian’s name, removed the protective device on the lock, and told Lin Xian:

"I’ll remind you again, the password lock mechanism is extremely sophisticated, so once you set the initial password, it can never be changed! Really think it through before setting it because it’s permanent!"

"When you’re setting it, first put the rice cooker inside, then set the password on the eight dials on the outside, close the safe door! The password lock will then lock, and the safe’s password will be set, forever unchanged for hundreds and thousands of years... this one hafnium alloy safe’s password will never change."

Afterward, Brother Wang pointed towards the door:

"I’ll wait for you outside the door then, as per our rules here, when clients store items or set passwords, staff must leave and only the client can remain inside. Once you’re done, knock from the inside, and I’ll be there to open the door for you."

Having said that.

Brother Wang left.

Thud.

The door of the Tem Bank warehouse closed.

In the vast space filled with safes...

A span of 600 years passed.

Leaving him alone again.

Lin Xian pressed the switch on the rice cooker, and the lid popped open with a bang.

Inside, the quiet space-time particles emitted a tranquil blue glow.

Then.

Lin Xian held the rice cooker with his left hand and reached into his shirt pocket with his right, pulling out that note... the one he had kept on him these past few days, never looked at, never shown to anyone, and whose contents were unknown to others.

Even if the enemy saw its content and made a copy, it wouldn’t matter.

Chu Anqing was absolutely confident that the moment Lin Xian saw the content, he would understand the true and false nature of the world.

And Lin Xian was just as confident that he would understand the content Chu Anqing had written.

At the same time.

He wasn’t afraid that the enemy would replace the note with something else.

Because Lin Xian roughly understood what Chu Anqing had written for him.

He wasn’t afraid of others seeing it, changing it, or the enemy switching it...

[This was a secret belonging solely to him and Chu Anqing, a code agreed upon to deceive the world.]

Lin Xian neatly folded the small note and placed it at the bottom of the rice cooker.

Together with the blue space-time particles.

Then...

Thump.

A muffled sound.

The lid of the rice cooker snapped shut, sealing the space-time particles and the small note.

This seal... it would be a long 600 years.

Lin Xian let out a sigh.

He somehow felt that the rice cooker in his hand had become significantly heavier, as if it were laden with a 600-year promise and encounter.

"See you on the other side."

Lin Xian whispered, cradling the rice cooker in his hands as he placed it inside the Hafnium Alloy Safe.

Clang.

The stainless-steel bottom shell and the internal wall of the Hafnium alloy collided with a crisp sound.

Suddenly.

Lin Xian took a deep breath.

He recalled what VV had once said.

Back then, Lin Xian, smiling, told VV that he would set a new password for the safe at the Tem Bank, but he was curious about the original password and what was initially inside.

That one time.

The super Artificial Intelligence VV, unusually contemplative for a few seconds, then slowly said,

"Lin Xian, perhaps there were never any original contents or original passwords... That safe has always had the same password, containing the same thing. You just don’t know the truth yet because you haven’t reached the moment when history loops."

"It’s only at the moment you truly need to use the safe to store something, set a password, that the historical loop is finally formed. And it’s also at that moment... you should realize that from the first time you saw the safe, until you open it 600 years later, throughout this lengthy period, it has always remained unchanged—"

"No matter how history and future dimensions shift, the contents you place in the safe are forever the same, the password is always the same."

...

[Loop].

At this moment,

Lin Xian seemed to truly understand.

He pushed the solid front door of the Hafnium alloy safe back into place, looking at the password lock just below the latch, the eight shiny new password wheels gleaming with a dazzling silver light.

Almost without hesitation, he dialed the eight wheels to a password that came to mind in a flash!

This was the small note written by Chu Anqing;

Follow current novels on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

This was the space-time particle she had seized with her life for him;

She told him the answer, validating reality and dreams for him;

This was their secret, hers and Lin Xian’s, but in the end, on that little note, it was still Chu Anqing’s own secret...

Thump!!

A loud sound.

The heavy Hafnium alloy safe locked for the first time.

The eternal password was set.

As ancient and unchangeable as the long course of history.

Time and years,

Space-time and the world,

History and the future,

In that moment, the loop was completed!

Lin Xian stepped back, looking at the eight digits on the password wheels...
