Chapter 1016: Chapter 62 Du Yao (Added for Alliance Leader Feng Ye Yi!)_2

The other party seemed very confident in this act of usurpation, oblivious to the fact that Angelica had already discovered the flaw.

Angelica, being Hollywood’s Chameleon Witch and an Oscar-winning actress, was undeniably skilled in her craft.

She also pretended not to notice that Jask had been replaced, and met with her “old friend” in a relaxed and easy manner, without giving away any information or revealing any secrets.

After that…

Angelica confirmed that Jask must have been harmed, most likely premeditatedly murdered, and then supported Fake Jask to usurp the position, continuing to deceive the entire world.

Confronted with the bizarre deaths of two friends.

Angelica naturally sensed danger.

So she quickly came to China, obtained a slot as a volunteer for a Hibernation Pod through her connections, and went into hibernation.

She didn’t set a specific time for her hibernation to end; she only mentioned that she would be awakened after Jask’s Mars colonization plan was completed and they had left Earth.

“But later, I don’t know what went wrong, I was never woken up.”

Angelica, sitting across the coffee table, explained to Lin Xian:

“When I woke up again, I had already been dug out by the residents of Donghai City from the Underground Hibernation Base.”

“My luck was good, most of the Hibernation Pods in the Underground Hibernation Base at that time had broken down for various reasons, and the hibernators inside had died.”

“But my Hibernation Pod miraculously functioned well… It was also thanks to the later invented Miniature Nuclear Battery which had upgraded and modified the Hibernation Pod, or else I definitely wouldn’t have survived the super disaster of 2400.”

…

By thus,

Angelica’s story was clearly explained.

Lin Xian also understood many inconsistencies in The Seventh Dreamland.

Ultimately it boiled down to—

[Jask died, and was replaced by a stand-in Fake Jask, turning the entire Mars colonization project into a mere show, a meaningless performance.]

Who killed Jask?

And who supported the replacement Fake Jask in his place, continuing to deceive the entire world?

Lin Xian wasn’t sure.

But in the year 2024, Jask’s biggest adversary, the digital entity Turing, had already been eliminated by him.

Who else could be behind Jask’s murder?

Galileo? Copernicus? Or perhaps… a member of the Genius Club?

It must be said, this move was particularly ruthless.

It wasn’t enough just to kill Jask; they also used the fake Jask to continue the Mars colonization agenda step by step.

What kind of secret lies behind this painstaking arrangement?

Flipping further through Angelica’s “Memory Notebook.”

What’s recorded next is about Ji Lin, Angelica’s childhood stories, in short, unrelated to himself and Jask anymore.

Snap.

Lin Xian closed the notebook, handing it back to Angelica across the table.

It felt as if there was a robed Grim Reaper standing behind the sofa, sickle raised, ready to sever his neck in one stroke.

It seems…

Even with such a major shift in the timeline, soaring up 6 levels, but the tragic event of his death on July 7th still couldn’t be changed or avoided.

On the contrary.

This time, because he had preemptively eliminated Turing, he inadvertently dragged Jask with him on the path to Netherworld, sacrificing him together.

He swore, it was truly an accident…

Indeed, those who play with space-time are eventually played by space-time, the butterfly effect and Temporal Flux are just so merciless.

It’s just Lin Xian never expected that he would be the one manipulating space-time, but the scapegoat turned out to be Jask.

How tragic.

“Jask’s death shouldn’t be that hard to prevent, right?”

On emotional and rational grounds, Lin Xian felt that he should give Jask a heads-up, considering how invaluable an ally he was.

Moreover, not only had he given him an Entangled State of Time-Space Particle that had lost its energy, but he had also saved him during a risky moment when he was kidnapped by Lin Yuxi.

Now, it was time to return the favor.

After waking up from this dream, he would contact Jask by phone to set up a meeting to discuss this matter in person.

Compared to discussing over the phone, face-to-face talks were more reliable.

Because…

Lin Xian considered that if someone could kill Jask and perfectly replace him without the whole world noticing, it suggested that the murderer was likely someone close to Jask, or at least that there was an insider nearby; otherwise, this replacement could not have gone so smoothly.

In such a situation where there might be an undercover agent nearby…

Who could guarantee that Jask’s phone wasn’t being monitored?

Internal threats are hardest to guard against.

To be safe, Lin Xian decided to arrange a meeting with Jask in Donghai City for a thorough discussion, to ensure absolute security.

“Don’t worry, Angelica.”

Lin Xian looked up, reassuring Angelica:

“[This battle is not over yet.]”

“You see, I’m not dead yet, and there is still hope for saving Jask. So… thank you for holding on for so long in this world, the information you’ve brought is extremely precious. Perhaps our comeback battle starts now.”

“Also, I promise you, our agreement is not over yet, I will keep my word.”

His expression serious, his right hand pressed against his chest, he looked at Angelica:

“Since I promised you to find the killer who murdered Ji Lin’s parents, I will definitely not go back on my word. I will find him, tell you, and even… seek revenge with you!”
