Chapter 116 Death
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
The white light arrived on time at 00:42, drowning everything.
Just like that time, history was drowned.
…
…
…
The unpleasant smell of furniture was inhaled into his nose, and Lin Xian opened his eyes.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around me.
He was still a little uncomfortable.
He sat up, opened the curtains, and looked at the moon approaching the disk outside...
Among the tens of thousands of books about soaking in water, there was no history book. Lin Xian intuitively felt that this was not a normal thing.
Are history books strictly controlled and cannot be circulated in the market?
Or……
Is history itself being controlled to prevent people from knowing what happened in the past?
But what's the point?
Lin Xian scratched his flat hair, confused.
"History itself is a fact that has happened. At most, it can serve as an education, warning, and understanding."
"History itself is not useful knowledge. At least compared to engineering, physics, and engineering, history is an unproductive and destructive subject."
"Because it is completely fixed and will not change."
Inexplicable.
Lin Xian remembered what Zhao Yingjun once said——
"History never changes."
…
A moment.
It was as if a cool breeze was blowing in the airtight room, and the jungle string trouser legs spread in and floated up to the whole body.
if……
Will history change?
Lin Xian took back what he just said.
If we think about it from the perspective of time and the laws of space and time...
History is not without its destructive power.
Or even quite the opposite!
For those who have the ability to change history...history is the most powerful space-time weapon! 】
"like me."
Lin Xian seemed to have noticed something.
If he could be given a history book that was accurate enough and detailed enough, in which the time, place and future impact of each historical event were clearly written... maybe he could really change the future to what he wanted.
Although this is just a guess.
But even if you can slightly control the direction of the space-time butterfly effect, this is still a very terrifying power.
for example.
Suppose that Lin Xian doesn't like the future world in the second dream, and doesn't like such a new city surrounded by high walls.
Then he might be able to find out in detailed history books which scourge proposed the concept of this new city and why.
Then follow the clues to find out who this guy's ancestors are, who his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather is...
Push back to 2023 to see which man fell in love with which woman and finally gave birth to this scourge hundreds of years later.
As long as we can find the source, everything is simple.
Trying to do everything possible to break up the love relationship between these two people and prevent them from getting married, wouldn't it be equivalent to easily destroying all the steel cities in 600 years?
Lin Xian knew that his idea was exaggerated, extreme, and difficult to realize.
But just because it’s difficult to achieve, doesn’t mean it’s impossible to achieve.
Moreover, this is just the most intuitive example. In fact, if there is a detailed historical description, many, many things can be done.
"Is it... just to prevent someone from tampering with history or changing history... that's why the world in the future controls history and breaks it?"
…
Lin Xian felt that this idea was very subtle.
Not sure if this is possible.
But he firmly believes that history is essentially
The body is made up of human beings themselves.
No matter how controlled or blocked, the real history will still be preserved.
Even if it is broken and messy...there must be traces of history somewhere in the world.
Just like in the first dream.
Even if all the history is vague and distant information cannot be found...but isn't the list of winners of every World Cup still passed down?
Although there is no specific score or specific details...
But that's history.
These are the clues of history.
"It's also possible that there are too few samples of books soaked in water, or that the water leak happened to avoid the historical books area."
Lin Xian felt that it was too early to draw conclusions.
If we want to know whether there is a history book in Xintonghai City, we still have to wait until we sneak into it and investigate clearly before making sure.
I've been sleeping since about 5pm and now I feel completely upside down and not very sleepy.
Lin Xian went straight downstairs.
leave the company.
After eating some late-night snacks, I went home and took a shower before going back to sleep.
…
night.
In a relatively high-end Western restaurant.
The soft classical music is soothing and long.
Waiters shuttle around the restaurant, serving sumptuous food to every diner.
There were quite a lot of people in the restaurant, but it was very quiet. No one was making any noise. Everyone was chatting softly.
"Good taste."
Zhao Yingjun is dressed in an exquisite dress, and her bright green earrings are reflected in the warm yellow light, like a sparrow flying by under the sunset, giving her a unique and mature look.
She took off her dark green coat and wore a black turtleneck sweater underneath. She sat opposite Lin Xian and looked at the decoration and atmosphere in the restaurant:
"I've heard of this restaurant before. It's very close to where I live, but today is my first time here."
"The caviar here is good." Lin Xian also followed her gaze and looked at the classical decoration in the restaurant:
"This is my first time here too."
In the past, Lin Xian would definitely not come to this kind of restaurant for dinner.
The main reason is not that it is expensive, but that he can't taste how delicious the food here is...
Although it is indeed expensive.
But it is really hard to get used to it.
But most people who come to this kind of place don't come for the purpose of eating, but mostly to talk about things.
The waiters brought several appetizers in order and removed the empty plates in time.
Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun talked and laughed, discussing the dishes, the taste, and the red wine.
Zhao Yingjun is indeed very knowledgeable.
This should be related to her background.
But she is also very polite and smart.
She never goes deep into the fields that Lin Xian doesn't understand, such as wineries, red wine years, the origin of ingredients, and the methods of authentic Western food.
For all topics that Lin Xian is not good at, she will stop at a certain point and then turn to the fields that Lin Xian is familiar with.
For example, art.
For example, movies.
For example, college life.
She is indeed very smart.
Lin Xian can feel that she caters to him in chatting, and chatting with her is very comfortable and natural.
Perhaps Zhao Yingjun herself is not doing this intentionally, but her long-term cultivation makes her prefer listening rather than speaking.
This is actually very rare...
In daily life, many people like to let others listen to them, but few are willing to calm down and listen to others.
"Actually, I was still reluctant to leave X Company when I heard you say that you wanted to leave."
After the snacks came, Zhao Yingjun used a white handkerchief to wipe the wine stains on the corners of her mouth and looked at Lin Xian:
"I was still quite surprised by what you said yesterday. Because in my opinion... at least
I always thought that you were not such a motivated person."
"But it is undeniable that you have changed a lot in this period of time, and you have been more active in various things. I am very happy for you. If a person can find his own goals and find something he is willing to work hard for, it is actually a very happy thing."
"I mainly want to train myself and make my life more meaningful." Lin Xian put down the red wine glass, wiped his hands, and began to establish a persona for himself:
"Although I can lie flat for a lifetime with copyright income and sales share, my thoughts are still different when I have no money and when I have money... Now that I have money, I have more ideas. I also want to be like you and do something of my own in the future."
Lin Xian tried to establish a persona similar to Zhao Yingjun for himself, hoping to gain her trust, affirmation and appreciation.
If I could make her think that I was someone who wanted to improve, make progress, and learn, maybe she would really consider letting me be her secretary in the future...
In that case, I would have enough opportunities to look at the invitation letter from the Genius Club, and investigate the clues of the Genius Club by observing Zhao Yingjun's schedule.
"But I know myself well. I know that I don't have the ability to start a business on my own. So in the short term, I have no intention of leaving Company X."
Lin Xian said naturally:
"I think I can learn a lot of business thinking and experience from you, and I will benefit a lot."
"I also hope that you can give me more guidance in the future, in all aspects. I think I still have a lot to learn."
"So..."
Lin Xian smiled and raised his red wine glass, looking at Zhao Yingjun:
"I'm not good at talking, so I might say something a bit messy. Anyway, I'm lucky to be able to work at Company X after graduation and to meet a boss like you."
Zhao Yingjun also smiled and raised his glass in return:
"It's also my luck to meet a subordinate like you."
The two took a sip each, put down their goblets, and began to talk about the company, Rhine Cat, Xu Yun, Xu Yiyi, and other things...
Lin Xian learned that Zhao Yingjun originally planned to meet with a director of animation V tonight to discuss making V for Rhine Cat.
But for Lin Xian's dinner, she turned it down.
Her daily schedule is really tight. Yesterday she met with the composer, today she was supposed to meet with the director, and tomorrow, according to her schedule, she will meet with a female singer to talk about singing the theme song of Rhine Cats...
Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhao Yingjun deserved to earn this money.
Such a busy life would be unbearable for him. It was very different from the domineering CEO life he imagined.
"Actually, lying down is also good." Lin Xian thought to himself, and naturally he would not say it out loud.
On the surface, he is a man who wants to be the tiger of X.
Always put progress first.
...
After dinner, Zhao Yingjun asked Lin Xian to get on the business car together, and wanted the driver to take Lin Xian home first.
But Lin Xian refused, saying that he had made an appointment with friends here, and asked Zhao Yingjun to go home directly.
He deliberately chose a Western restaurant very close to Zhao Yingjun...
The purpose was for safety considerations, so that she would not run around.
It's always right to be cautious.
"Then I'll go first."
After the white-gloved driver closed the car door for Zhao Yingjun, she rolled down the window and smiled at Lin Xian:
"Thank you for the dinner, the caviar is really good."
"Goodbye."
Lin Xian waved goodbye to her.
Boom...
The huge commercial vehicle started and drove Zhao Yingjun to her residence.
It's only five minutes away from her home.
Lin Xian raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was just a little after 9 o'clock, which was still far away from "midnight".
"Tonight, there is a high probability that
It’s no problem anymore. "
…
the next day.
After getting up, the first thing Lin Xian did was pick up his phone and search for news.
East China Sea, shootings, various keywords were searched, and various news were read over and over again...
"No."
There is not a single relevant case.
In Dragon Country, the probability of a shooting case is very small and the nature is very serious. If a shooting case does occur in Donghai City, it will definitely be reported.
this means.
Last night, the shooting that led to Zhao Yingjun's accidental involvement and death still did not happen.
That means...
Lin Xian locked the phone and looked at the date on the bedside clock.
January 14, 2023.
"tonight……"
"This is the day of Zhao Yingjun's death."
