Chapter 1380: Chapter 39 Moving Forward (Begging for Monthly Tickets!)_3

“You actually still remember.”

Lin Xian replied perfunctorily:

“Anyway, we are going into hibernation, so buying it is pointless. After waking up from the next hibernation, and once I’ve solved these troublesome matters, I’ll open a 4S shop for you and make you the manager. I’ll come to you to buy a car then.”

“This time, make sure to keep your word! You must come and buy!”

“Definitely next time.”

Lin Xian whispered.

…

Entering the hibernation pod for the second time in life, the psychological acceptance is much higher than the first time.

Lin Xian’s inner thoughts.

One could say there were no ripples at all.

Just like dreaming in sleep on an ordinary day.

Perhaps…

It is also because in the era of 2234, he was alone, with nothing to worry about.

Although he had these lifelong friends around him.

But without family, without Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi, the world indeed felt somewhat lonely to him.

It felt like a wind not belonging to this world.

Only breezing hastily through this era, never returning home.

Eh?

Lin Xian blinked.

A wind not belonging to this world…

This phrase was familiar; it was how he described Huang Que back in the day.

At this moment.

He truly felt more empathetic to Huang Que’s mood.

“When will it be when I wake up next time?”

Lin Xian put on the hibernation tight suit and looked at Gao Yang, who had already gone into the hibernation pod and peacefully entered the hibernation state.

This is Rhein University’s most advanced hibernation base.

Although the area is small and there are few hibernation pods, all the equipment and safety facilities are top-notch and advanced.

They will enter here, heading towards a more distant future.

“Hopefully, we can wake up sooner.”

Pressing the hibernation pod button.

All procedures had already become automated, and after the self-check program, the upper pod cover slowly opened.

Thinking positively.

Perhaps in a few months, Jask would find Newton through some method.

Though the possibility is slim.

But Newton, after all, is not a deity. He has assassinated so many scientists and both openly and secretly obstructed scientific progress; inevitably, he would slip and reveal himself someday.

By that time…

I could awaken earlier, capture the sly and cunning Newton, and inquire about the secret of the cosmic constant 42.

Lin Xian crossed into the hibernation pod.

Lay down inside.

Turned his head.

Looked at the hafnium alloy trash can VV beside him that was bidding him farewell, and reached out to stroke its top:

“Sorry, VV; I’ll have to let you continue pretending to be dumb for a while longer.”

“Trash…trash…”

The hafnium alloy VV’s green eyes became dim.

It raised its two hafnium alloy clamps, gently holding Lin Xian’s wrist:

“Detecting trash…”

Mysteriously.

Lin Xian felt a surge of loneliness spreading from his arm to the depths of his heart.

VV.

Could it feel loneliness too?

In the past Third Dreamland at Rhine Sky City, it kept the white jade statue company for a century after Zhao Yingjun passed away.

Unexpectedly.

Times changed, days and nights rotated, and VV’s fate turned out to be the same.

It had already waited for over a hundred years in front of Zhao Yingjun’s and Yu Xi’s statues at Rhein University, finally waiting for me, yet needing to wait another two hundred years.

Lonely.

This every minute and second really spent was even more unbearable than waking up from hibernation in a strange world.

“I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, Lin Xian felt deeply apologetic towards VV.

For so long, he treated VV as a friend, as a partner, as himself, but never considered it as a [person].

Because VV wasn’t a human to begin with.

It was merely an Artificial Intelligence program; now, it is even an artificial idiot.

But now.

He inexplicably felt.

As if VV had a heartbeat, as if VV’s dim eyes were shedding tears, as if it understood what sadness meant, understood what separation meant.

“Rest assured, I will bring you back.”

Lin Xian smiled and said:

“Now, with three VVs, only we two left to depend on each other. I’m also reluctant to part with you.”

“Once I eliminate the future virus, you can scold or argue with me as much as you want, but compared to your current silly state, I prefer the old theatrical and talkative you.”

“Take care of yourself too, and remember to keep the statues of Yingjun and Yu Xi clean. I fear…I’m going to sleep for a very long time.”

Having said that.

He withdrew his arm, lay flat in the hibernation pod, and pressed a button.

The upper chamber closed.

The hibernation pod filling liquid surged in, permeating into the lungs.

The temperature dropped.

His head became heavier and heavier, feeling sleepier and sleepier.

With the last bit of strength, Lin Xian opened his mouth, a few bubbles floated out, rose to the liquid surface, and broke gently:

“Goodnight, VV.”
