Chapter 81 Late at Night
The house was very quiet, with only the slight snoring of Big Face Cat's youngest son when he was sleeping, and no other sounds.
Lin Xian went downstairs carefully to avoid making any noise.
Big Face Cat did hide something from him.
He admitted this himself.
But he planned to take him to see the boss tomorrow and let him join the plan... But tomorrow is really not the day to wait.
When he was eating just now, he had already looked at the calendar in the house, and today was still August 28, 2624.
This means that although he did not see the white light that destroyed the world at 00:42 yesterday, in fact, this world was most likely destroyed by the white light.
The cycle is still there.
The dream is still the same.
It's just that the world has changed.
Da.
Da.
Da.
Lin Xian walked through the living room with light footsteps.
Because Big Face Cat's youngest son is more noisy, there are a lot of messy things in the house. But fortunately, Sister-in-law is very virtuous and capable, and she has tidied the room clean and tidy before going to bed.
It's a pity... this house is so small and crowded, no matter how neat it is, it won't change anything.
Finally.
Lin Xian moved to the front door.
Squeaky————
The door was pushed open with a scream, and the sound made Lin Xian tense.
Turning his head and looking...
Fortunately, there was no movement in the inner room, and it didn't wake up the sister-in-law and the children.
Lin Xian carefully locked the door. He didn't plan to come back again, in case a thief got in.
Turning around, walking on this rugged and winding path, he didn't know which direction to go or where to go.
The self-built houses here are so messy that people feel uncomfortable. Looking left and right, the sight is blocked by the tall and short houses... No wonder I didn't see the new Donghai City a few kilometers away during the day today, and didn't see the towering black building.
"Living here for a long time will really make you depressed and sick."
Lin Xian couldn't tell the east, south, west, and north, and couldn't see the moon when he looked up, so he had to find a direction and walk around.
Gradually, he came to the small market where Big Face Cat bought roast chicken.
It was also very crowded, and there was no condition for vehicles to drive.
According to Big Face Cat's description, all the resources in this world, even knowledge, history, technology, etc., are controlled by those people in New East China Sea City.
Lin Xian now doesn't understand what the state, pattern, and rules of this world are.
Anyway, with his current thinking, he can't figure out how this deformed development method is caused.
Obviously, they are only two places a few kilometers apart... But in fact, the distance between New East China Sea and Old East China Sea is probably much farther than the distance between the earth and the moon.
In the words of Big Face Cat, they see each other as aliens, and there is no possibility of any material communication.
"We can't even pick up the garbage they leave behind!"
This is what Big Face Cat said, and I don't know if it is an exaggeration to vent anger or a realistic statement.
After going around for a long time, there was no gain.
Lin Xian wanted to give up a little.
Think about it carefully, even if he turned this backward and poor little village upside down, what can he gain?
Big Face Cat said that there are not only no history books here, but even no history. Children can't learn real knowledge, and generations have been living in this muddle.
As strong as Big Face Cat's father is, a "former Fields mathematician", he is just an elementary school math teacher in this dream.
"Forget it, I won't go around anymore. I'm dizzy from getting lost."
Lin Xian thinks it's better not to explore aimlessly... The two most direct routes at present are:
1. Enter the dream early tomorrow and find Big Face Cat's father to ask about the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" and find out what the sentence he keeps repeating is. Lin Xian intuitively... Cat's father's research results should be the reason why the genius club killed him, or perhaps it is also the secret that the club is afraid of.
2. Find an opportunity to enter the high-walled New Donghai City, find history books, historical records and other things inside, and find out the reasons and processes why the future world has developed like this. Although Big Face Cat said that there is no way to enter New Donghai City... but who is he? In this endlessly repetitive dream, Lin Xian didn't think there was a place he couldn't go. At most, he would just commit suicide a few more times.
"Hey."
Lin Xian grabbed the top of the wall casually, jumped with his feet to hold the wall, then kicked hard and jumped to the higher stone wall on the opposite side, grabbed the bricks with both hands, and did another somersault--
Bang.
He landed safely on the second-floor platform of a family, then sprinted and jumped to the third-floor balcony of the neighbor next door, tapped his feet and jumped again, grabbed, and flipped to the roof of the third floor.
"It feels good."
Standing high up, the view is wide, and finally you don't have to squeeze in
Look up and look at the strange full moon hanging in the air.
It has floated directly above the field of vision, and the black hand shadow with a straight index finger on the moon's surface has a great momentum of crushing the city, which is chilling.
Big-faced cat, big-faced cat's children, and even everyone in the world, they will not have such a strange feeling when facing such a moon.
Because they have long been accustomed to it.
The moon has been like this since they were born.
Even when their great-grandfather was born, it was already like this. Generation after generation, the perception was changed and then deeply rooted.
In their cognition, the moon should be like this.
But Lin Xian came from 600 years ago, and he has seen the real moon...
What exactly is that black hand shadow?
Is it a magnificent building that runs through the north and south poles of the moon?
Or is it a light-blocking, light-absorbing, and diffusely reflective material?
There must be something on the moon that created such a "work of art".
Unfortunately, if you want to fully understand this problem, you can only go to Xindonghai City to find history books and materials.
"But... it's really art."
From the perspective of an art student and from the perspective of creation, evaluate this moon.
It can only be described as ingenious.
Because of the [tidal locking] between the earth and the moon, the rotation period and revolution period of the moon are the same.
In other words...
[The moon will always face the earth with its front side, and humans on earth will never observe the back of the moon. 】
This also means that the logo of the Genius Club can rise on time every night and always look at the earth from a positive angle.
Year after year, it waxes and wanes with the moon, but it is never absent.
No other celestial body can do this, only the tidally locked moon can.
Lin Xian turned his head again and looked at the giant sci-fi city with brilliant lights.
"New Donghai City..."
Even though it was already midnight, New Donghai City was like a city that never sleeps, still so busy and bright.
Don't people there need to sleep?
Don't people there need to rest?
What kind of life do people there live? What kind of life do they have?
Is it immortality?
Is it immortality?
Or is it like what is described in games and movies, with prosthetic limbs and even mechanized whole body?
Lin Xian didn't know.
"I have to go in and take a look."
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
00:41:41
If all the rules here are the same as the "first dream", then there are 19 seconds left and this dream will end.
A white light that burns the world will appear on time, destroying everything, and I will open my eyes on the bed.
But now...
Human technology has developed to this sci-fi level.
Is it still unknown and without any precautions against such a devastating blow?
Lin Xian looked up at the endlessly prosperous New Donghai City, everything was the same as before.
Looking down at the watch——
00:41:57
……
00:41:58
……
00:41:59
Suddenly.
A touch of camellia fragrance permeated the nose with the night breeze.
Ta.
A hand...
Put on Lin Xian's shoulder.
