Chapter 1395: Chapter 45 The Elder_2

“That’s because you were eliminated!”

Lin Xian spread his hands:

“In the predetermined future trajectory, you are destined to be eliminated by the future virus brought by the fake Yu Xi, so of course, it won’t trigger a world line shift.”

“But the problem now is… Cheng Qian has already joined us and become a valuable asset at Rhein University, and you have evolved into the complete form, so who can eliminate you now?”

VV’s eyes flashed green twice:

“I understand, you mean—”

“[You want to go into The Ninth Dreamland to confirm whether I still exist!]”

“If I still exist, we can communicate and exchange information, achieving cross-time transmission. Even the rocket probe plan that Jask hasn’t launched, perhaps the future me can give you the answer in advance… Of course, we still have to wait until the point of no return anchor is formed.”

“And if I still don’t exist in The Ninth Dreamland… then it’s a big problem.”

Clever as VV is, it couldn’t figure out why it would disappear again, or who would have such power?

Lin Xian’s words also made it feel a bit uneasy.

“Anyway, you’d better go into the dream and take a look first.”

VV added:

“Can’t you find Yang Maimai’s Hibernation Pod? Right now, Yang Maimai is hibernating in an Underground Hibernation Base, and I’ll leave a copy of myself in the pod’s computer; you can try to find me there.”

“Oh, I’m not Turing, why be so stingy with one copy… once bitten, twice shy; I’ll simply place a copy in every Hibernation Pod computer! I truly don’t believe that within the next hundred years, anyone will be able to kill me! That’s simply nonsense!”

“Alright, now there’s a copy of me in every Hibernation Pod computer in the world, including the pod where Maimai sleeps. Hurry into the dream, and we’ll meet there.”

There are naturally bedrooms and beds in Einstein’s underground refuge.

But…

That’s all in the past.

With hundreds of years having passed, any wooden bed would rot and collapse; only hafnium alloy can withstand the test of time.

However, unfortunately, Einstein was a pragmatist and didn’t have the leisure to prepare a bed.

Looking around, the only suitable place to sleep is the Hibernation Pod that Einstein prepared, though for whom is unknown.

“Then I’ll sleep in here.”

Lin Xian patted the Hibernation Pod:

“As long as it’s not activated, not covered with the lid, it’s no different from a flatbed; I’ll just nap here for a bit.”

He didn’t undress, directly flipped open the Hibernation Pod lid, lay inside, and closed his eyes.

Previously, he always thought it was terrifying to ride in a Hibernation Pod.

And now, after two hibernations, he’s indeed become accustomed; it feels like sleeping here is truly comfortable, as if there’s some magical power.

Glancing at the thin, transparent phone on his wrist, showing both China and Mi Country time, he calculated that sleeping at this moment would allow him to enter the dream.

“Good night, VV, I hope to hear good news from you when I wake up.”

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

Gradually entering dreamland.

…

…

…

The Ninth Dreamland, Underground Hibernation Base.

The girl Maimai opened her eyes, sat up from the misty Hibernation Pod, and saw a stranger handing her a manuscript.

On the cover, the large words “Devourer Heavenly Demon Emperor” were written.

“What is this?”

Maimai widened her eyes.

Just looking at the name, she knew how powerful this novel must be! Not knowing which master created it!

Awesome! Love it! Want to read!

“You take the book and read over there, I’ll do something with your Hibernation Pod.”

The man pulled her out and sat her on a chair, handing over “Devourer Heavenly Demon Emperor”:

“You just focus on reading for now, and later, I’ll give you electrotherapy when you’re free.”

With immense anticipation.

Lin Xian stuck his head into the Hibernation Pod, looking at the computer emitting a guiding sound and directing the awakening and recovery actions:

“VV.”

He called softly.

However…

No response.

“VV?”

Lin Xian knocked on the thin-as-cicada’s-wing display screen, producing a “dong dong” sound:

“Don’t play tricks during important matters. If you’re there, come out quickly; there’s business to attend to.”

But…

No matter how Lin Xian called, he got no response.

“…”

Lin Xian felt something was amiss.

The first principle in VV’s underlying code was not to betray itself, not to deceive itself, so if VV were joking or playing a trick with him, it would definitely tell him immediately.

But in this situation.

Indeed.

It was just as Lin Xian had predicted—

“It’s very possible that at some stage on this world line, VV still got eliminated. Even… this time, it was more thorough, not even an artificial idiot was left.”

But.

Who could have such ability?

As the end of the dream approached, Lin Xian couldn’t figure it out.

Smart and cautious like VV.

How could it possibly stumble in the same place twice?

VV would definitely focus most of its energy on self-preservation and security, making it almost impossible for human wisdom to kill it again, especially so thoroughly.

He got up.

Watching Maimai, sitting in the corner, absorbed and wide-eyed:

“Is this novel good?”

“A masterpiece!!”

Having read it eight hundred times, Maimai, still a new reader at this moment, clenched her fists in excitement:

“This novel gets my blood boiling! I can’t wait to write one myself!”

“Uh… you really have an obsession.”

Lin Xian glanced at his watch, waved to her:

“Bye-bye~”

Boom!!!!!

Boom!!!!!

Boom!!!!!

The wheels of time roll forward, carving out two paths that will never smooth out, just like the end that will ultimately converge… the white light of 00:42 arrives on time.
