Genius Club
Chapter 1151 - 32: Zhang Yuqian’s Video Tape (Extra update for Silver League, unmatched in 37 days!)_2

Let’s consider the second question.

This question is more targeted.

If Einstein answers that the Space-Time Particle would still be stolen, one could almost certainly deduce that Copernicus must have a backup plan and would continue to steal his own Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, creating more trouble.

If Einstein answers that the Space-Time Particle won’t be stolen, it indeed would be somewhat reassuring. But the price is... every member of the Genius Club would know that he’s obtained a Space-Time Particle, undoubtedly painting a rather unsafe target on himself.

Newton and Galileo don’t look like simple characters; it’s possible that once involved, they could be even more troublesome than Copernicus.

"This question is good, but it’s too risky."

Lin Xian shakes his head, feeling that Copernicus doesn’t have such great clout to justify him taking the risk of exposing his identity and attracting enemies, simply to ascertain Copernicus’s wellbeing.

Then, let’s look at the third way of asking.

This one seems quite perfect.

Whether it’s the question itself or its answer, neither involves Copernicus nor the Genius Club itself; Einstein can definitely answer it.

Moreover, the conditions are set very strictly: the time must be 00:42, the cause of death must be murder, and the identity must be that of a mathematician... This basically locks the Black Hand behind Copernicus.

If Einstein answers with any name, it would imply that Copernicus didn’t entirely die, or that there is a successor, or accomplices.

If Einstein refuses to answer, it suggests the question involves members of the Genius Club itself, which would mean Copernicus himself didn’t die at all, it was a Feigned Death or a body double died in his place.

If Einstein says no mathematicians die at this moment in the future, then it’s cause for celebration, and one could pop champagne with Jask.

"Hmm, this question is pretty much perfect."

"No matter whether Einstein answers it or not, whether he answers yes or no, we can derive the corresponding conclusions."

"So, I’ve decided on this one."

Lin Xian puts a checkmark on the third question, confirming the issue to raise during the Genius Club’s meeting in a few days.

By the way...

He also thought that in fact, he still has many other questions he would like to ask Einstein.

So, according to the order of priority, he lists them one by one:

[1. Ask about a method to eliminate the future virus from the network and resurrect VV.]

"Last time the vacuum cleaning robot VV was hurrying me, bumping into my ankles twice, probably complaining about why I haven’t started dealing with the future virus. If the next meeting confirms that Copernicus is indeed dead and the immediate crisis is over, I really should resolve VV’s issue."

"VV is my most powerful weapon, especially now that Kevin Walker and Turing have been killed by me. As long as VV can be resurrected, my combat power would increase exponentially. And as long as VV has enough development time... it might even flip the Genius Club’s trump card."

"Of course, when asking Einstein, I can’t be so direct. I have to conceal VV’s existence and avoid revealing the future virus issue. When I ask, I just need to beat around the bush a bit."

[2. Ask about the truth behind Millennium Stakes and the way to save Chu Anqing.]

"This is my primary purpose for joining the Genius Club. The reason it’s second is entirely because I don’t know how to phrase the question."

"Yingjun and I think alike, under the premise that Chu Anqing can be saved... first and foremost, Chu Anqing’s safety must be ensured to prevent other geniuses with ulterior motives from using and destroying the Millennium Stakes."

"So, unless there’s a suitable opportunity, I can’t casually pose this question to Einstein. It’s best to wait for a suitable occasion, when I’m the only one present, or when as few people as possible are present, to ask Einstein this question."

[3. Ask about the truth behind the World-Ending White Light on August 29, 2624, at 00:42.]

"I’ve always wanted to know what the World-Ending White Light is, but unfortunately, there has never been a suitable opportunity nor have I found the right phrasing to ask."

"After all, once this question is asked, it will expose my ability to foresee the future, inevitably bringing me danger."

"But then again... if I don’t ask Einstein, I really can’t think of a second way to figure out the truth about the white light. Since everything was destroyed when I saw the white light, if the onslaught indeed comes at the speed of light, then there’s absolutely no way to predict, stop, analyze, or know in advance."

"This is a question that can only be answered by asking Einstein, and just like the previous one, it’s probably best to wait for a session when I am attending alone to ask it."

"Ah, I’m really envious of Copernicus. He had so many opportunities to ask questions alone. And since he was the only member at the time, whatever he asked did not involve other members... nearly any question could get an answer from Einstein."

[4. Ask for accurate information about Du Yao.]

"I really can’t remember when, where, and how I came across this name... To build the Neural Electrocution Helmet, Du Yao is indispensable, so this question can only be directed to Einstein."

"However, there’s no rush to ask this question; better wait until I’ve copied the blueprints for the Time Shuttle Machine. Otherwise, once the answer is asked and the world line changes causing Gao Wen and the Time Shuttle Machine to disappear, that would be a major loss."
