Chapter 55 Harvest

CC's attitude surprised Lin Xian.

This was probably the best, most patient, and most communicative time she had ever been with him in all the times they had been together.

Perhaps it had something to do with the story between the two of them.

In the previous meetings, they were either enemies or had their own agendas, or they were noisy, so it was difficult to have such a peaceful communication opportunity.

But this time, everyone had different identities.

Because of a common goal, everyone united together.

Even though he didn't succeed in opening the safe in the end, he really gained CC's trust.

So she was willing to exchange information with him for the first time.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Lin Xian leaned against the unheated safe and slowly told CC about the Lin Xian he knew...

It was actually his own self-introduction.

From college graduation to daily work, it was just like participating in a job interview.

As a result, he had only talked about half of it -

"Okay, you don't have to talk anymore."

CC interrupted him and shook her head:

"The Lin Xian you know is definitely not the same person as the owner of this safe."

"Why?"

Lin Xian didn't understand.

He himself had doubted this before, doubting that this was not his safe at all.

But doubt is doubt... In fact, there is still a glimmer of luck in his heart.

What if this safe was saved by himself in 2032 or 2042? This is logically possible.

Because he is now in 2022, it is not the time for him to save the safe, so he naturally does not know the password.

But unexpectedly, CC directly concluded that this Lin Xian is not that Lin Xian, and it cannot be him.

"Because... it's too ordinary."

CC sighed:

"In fact, I don't know what the real Lin Xian is like. I don't even know any Lin Xian, but I have a hunch... it's definitely not the ordinary Lin Xian you know."

"Okay."

Lin Xian spread his hands:

"Since you don't want to listen, I won't talk about it. Now it's your turn to answer my question, right?"

CC nodded and leaned against the safe:

"I don't know where to start, but my memory has been very confusing since I was a child."

"I can't describe the feeling, it's just that there seem to be a lot of memories in my mind that don't belong to me, but they are also the life I have experienced. It's like... another life in another world."

"Is it a dream?" Lin Xian asked.

CC shook his head:

"It's not a dream, I'm sure of that. Although these memories are also fragmented and vague, they are all discontinuous and trivial fragments, but I'm sure it's not a dream."

"Is it the feeling of parallel time and space?" Lin Xian asked again.

CC was silent, and nodded in denial:

"I'm not sure either. Anyway, this is a feeling that's hard to explain. I went to see a doctor, and they said it was a kind of delusion, possibly schizophrenia."

"But those fragmented memory fragments... are so real that it's hard for me to imagine that they're just fictional fantasies. So I want to prove it."

She turned around and pointed to the safe with Lin Xian's name on it:

"In the fragmented memory fragments, there is a middle-aged man who I have definitely never seen and definitely don't know, with very long messy hair and an exaggerated beard."

Middle-aged man?

Long hair?

Beard?

The image of a weird uncle in the wilderness emerged in Lin Xian's mind.

"In the memory fragment, the man told me that he left something for me in this safe, and he said--"

Click!

A crisp sound of a circuit being connected.

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

A shrill alarm sounded all around!

"Damn, the main circuit has been restored, automatically alarming!"

Big-faced cat just listened attentively, and jumped up as if he was electrocuted:

"We have to run!"

CC stood up quickly, picked up the mask and turned to leave.

"No, no, no!"

Lin Xian hated the dog who broke the chapter the most, and hurriedly grabbed CC:

"Finish it! Finish it and run! This sentence is not a big deal!"

CC turned around and looked at Lin Xian:

"That person said, [If you want to know all the past and the truth, go open the safe.]"

"In the memory fragment, he was going to tell me the password, but I don't know why he didn't say it in the end. I'm not sure if it's because the memory fragment is incomplete."

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Amid the alarm, CC shook off Lin Xian's hand and turned around:

"Ah, there's one more thing."

She turned back again and smiled for the first time.

There was a pear blossom blooming between her eyebrows.

Eyes curved into lovely crescents, two dimples faintly visible at the corners of her mouth:

"[That man's voice is quite similar to yours.]"

"That's why I'm willing to cooperate with you today, otherwise... I wouldn't have come with you at all."

Boom! ! ! ! !

Boom! ! ! ! !

Boom! ! ! ! !

The hot white light arrived on time.

Burns everything in sight.

...

...

Bang, bang, bang...

The biting cold wind hits the window.

Lin Xian opened his eyes on the bed in the corner of the bedroom.

He lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed, and recalled what CC said in the dream just now.

Although the safe was not opened in this dream...

But in other places, he gained a lot.

Put on slippers and stand up.

Lin Xian came to the desk and turned on the lamp:

"This time I entered the dream, I gained a lot of intelligence, I must sort out my thoughts."

Pick up the pen.

While the memory in the dream is still clear, Lin Xian wrote down the gains of this time on a piece of white paper:

[1. Time and space changes are uncontrollable. ]

Although this point is simple and easy to understand, there is no need to write it down, but Lin Xian really suffered a loss.

He always thought that using future resources to change reality and rewrite the future would always benefit himself and make the future develop in a good direction.

But the fact is not so.

"Future changes are uncontrollable... It is very likely that you will lose more than you gain, and eventually shoot yourself in the foot."

He remembered this lesson deeply.

In the future, when trying to change reality and rewrite the future, you must consider more and weigh the pros and cons.

[2. When will time and space change occur? You need an anchor point that cannot be reversed. 】

Lin Xian figured out why the new hafnium alloy and the hibernation chamber filling fluid, both of which are the achievements of Professor Xu Yun, only the new hafnium alloy triggered the time-space butterfly effect, while the hibernation chamber filling fluid did not?

The reason lies in a very simple concept -

"Water spilled out can never be taken back."

Xu Yun has sent samples and information of the new hafnium alloy to the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute.

So from this time anchor point, no one can stop this product from flowing to all walks of life in the world.

Even if the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute decides to keep it all to itself, in the long river of 600 years, this material will inevitably leak and will be transferred from aerospace to civilian use.

So from this time point, the new hafnium alloy has become "spilt water" and is destined to be irrecoverable, so the time-space change will happen as scheduled.

But the hibernation chamber filling fluid is different.

Now this research result has not been published yet and is still in a "Schrödinger state". Only Xu Yun has the only copy of the paper, and there are many situations that can prevent its public publication.

Even Lin Xian himself could say a few words in front of Xu Yun and persuade him to change this public way. Lin Xian believed that Xu Yun would listen to his opinions more or less if he insisted.

After all... Xu Yun did ask for his opinion, and Xu Yun still respected him very much in this regard.

What's more, Xu Yun's thesis has not been sorted out yet, and everything is subject to variables.

So at present, the water of the hibernation chamber filling fluid has not been spilled and there is still the possibility of rewriting, so it has not caused time and space changes.

"Time and space changes require an anchor point that cannot be recovered... Interesting, I thought it would be a real-time change."

Lin Xian inexplicably felt that there should be other rules and laws in the details of time and space changes.

[3. CC has memories that do not belong to her in her mind. ]

This is difficult to explain at present.

But Lin Xian has experienced the same dream confusion, so it is more or less understandable.

He is not sure whether CC really has delusions or schizophrenia... Her memories are not complete, they are all fragmented and incoherent fragments.

And CC took the risk to open the safe just to prove whether this was a delusion or a real memory.

"This point... is quite similar to my previous behavior of verifying dreams, all for the purpose of getting a truth, an answer."

[4. The middle-aged man with long hair and a big beard in CC's memory fragment has a voice very similar to mine. 】

This piece of information is very critical.

"No wonder CC didn't kill me many times before, and had a mysterious sense of trust in me... It turned out to be because of my voice that made her a little curious about me."

Lin Xian nodded.

This explained the previous doubts.

CC did not know me, nor had she seen me.

But my voice was very similar to the man in her memory fragment, so his attitude towards me was not so normal.

But Lin Xian was sure that the strange uncle could not be me.

"First of all, I can't live to 600 years later."

"Secondly, there are many people with similar voices. I also feel that her voice is familiar. In addition, CC's memory fragments may not be reliable."

"Finally, the most decisive point-"

Lin Xian touched his clean chin and frowned slightly:

"It is absolutely impossible for me to have long hair and a big beard..."

"Absolutely impossible."
