Genius Club

Chapter 256: Chapter 72: Copernicus_2 Chapter 256: Chapter 72: Copernicus_2 This kind of dramatic plot is simply too genius!

It was a test aimed at him, testing whether he could take the initiative to identify the person disturbing history and find enough evidence.

And the examiners of the Genius Club had even thrown themselves into the mix, so they could truly feel each of their actions and grade themselves.

Too genius, this method of examination really is too genius!

That’s more like it…

No wonder the young man opposite him could disturb history!

No wonder he could know the future!

No wonder he always managed to see through the tricks he and Ji Lin played!

Because he was a member of the Genius Club!

For the omnipotent them…

everything was too easy!

In an instant.

Ji Xinshui experienced a sudden enlightenment.

Including why this ordinary-looking young man could snap his fingers to get the police to shut down all surveillance equipment and cooperate so fully.

Because he was no ordinary person.

He was a member of the Genius Club!

So, he was omnipotent!

Copernicus and his ilk could control even time and destiny, so what was influencing a small Donghai police department to them?

It was child’s play!

Watching the young man only smile and remain silent, Ji Xinshui started to get nervous and began to introduce himself,

“You, you must be a member of the Genius Club, right?

Copernicus is my reference… ah, no no, sorry, I’m really too excited, you must know all this.”

“Thank you, thank you for bringing me the invitation…

although I didn’t expect to receive the invitation here, but now I understand, all this was a test set up by the club for me!

I can finally…

finally join the Genius Club like Copernicus, like you all!”

“Sorry, I’m a bit incoherent,” Ji Xinshui realized he had lost his composure due to excitement.

He quickly took a few deep breaths to steady his emotions, his body no longer trembling, but his voice still quivered as he looked at Lin Xian:

“May I ask… how should I address you?”

He still couldn’t control his excitement and eagerness.

He was eager to know the other’s title, to know the name of the person who was about to lead him into the organization!

…

Lin Xian regarded the excited old man before him.

Though he did not understand the intense dialectic taking place in his mind.

But now it seemed that the other party had completed his own strategy, assigning to himself the identity of a Genius Club examiner.

So, how should he respond to this question of how he should be addressed?

Lin Xian was also pondering.

The more you say, the more likely you are to lose.

He did not understand the meaning behind Ji Xinshui’s question.

He knew very well his own name was Lin Xian, and he knew all his information.

But under such a premise, he still asked how to “address” him.

That meant…

“Address” and “name” are not the same.

Just like the Copernicus he mentioned earlier, that must be just a nickname, a code name, or something of the sort?

So what should his title be?

What should he answer?

Lin Xian did not know.

And he was uncertain.

So…

He had better try to dodge the weight and dodge past it.

He did not know how much Ji Xinshui understood about the Genius Club.

It was clear that Ji Xinshui had seen a member of the Genius Club, at least one.

But did he know the “addresses” of the other members?

Hard to say.

So, at this time, he couldn’t risk an answer.

If he spoke wrongly now, or said something uncertain to arouse his doubts, it would have all been for naught.

“These things, after you are formally inducted into the Genius Club, you will naturally come to know,” Lin Xian maintained his commanding smile, brushing off the question.

At that moment, he really wanted to ask Ji Xinshui many questions about the Genius Club.

But…

The risk was too great; he couldn’t ask at all.

Ji Xinshui was now convinced that he was a member of the Genius Club; if he asked some foolish questions now, he would definitely give himself away.

So, he might as well hurry up with the [plan] he had devised from the beginning.

“However,”

Lin Xian shifted his tone, looking at Ji Xinshui:

“Your test is not yet over.

What comes next is your final test to join the Genius Club.”

Lin Xian feigned mystery, folding his arms, and began to speak [the truth]:

“Ji Xinshui, do you know why the Genius Club has been able to remain so mysteriously hidden in the river of history without leaving a trace?”

“I do not know, please enlighten me,” Ji Xinshui said seriously, sitting up straight.

“That is because…

the members of the Genius Club are history themselves; they have already melded themselves into history, detached from the real world, naturally leaving no trace.”

Lin Xian looked into Ji Xinshui’s eyes:

“As long as one is alive, they will leave traces in history.

But the dead are different…

the dead do not attract attention, nor do they leave any real trace in this world, naturally, they can hide themselves and the organization in the river of history, plucking the strings of the future.”

The river of history…

Plucking the strings of the future…

These words made Ji Xinshui’s blood surge.

The term disturbing history was told to him by Copernicus.

For many years, he had wondered…

why things that had not yet happened, which should be called the future, were always referred to as history by Copernicus and the others.

He did not understand, nor did he dare to ask.
