Chapter 1029 -65: The Higher the Position, the Greater the Responsibility_3
“Even if it means killing all humans around the globe, is that something Genius Club would permit?”
Jask stared at Lin Xian.
For a long time, he didn’t speak.
Finally…
He pursed his lips and slowly said:
“[Human civilization does not necessarily need humans.]”
Haha.
Lin Xian couldn’t help but laugh:
“Can a civilization without humans still be called human civilization?”
Jask laughed along:
“Of course, I too wish everyone thought like you, Lin Xian, but clearly… some people think differently than us, and they firmly believe they are right.”
“But if you ask me to deny their ideas as wrong right now, I couldn’t do it. Again, who knows what is right or what’s the best approach until the actual results come?”
“You must have read ‘The Three-Body Problem,’ a famous science fiction from China, right? In the second book, ‘Dark Forest,’ at the end of the story, all humans think the Wall Facer’s logic is flawed, incompetent, and a failure.”
“Until the very last moment when that logic saves Earth using the rules of the ‘Dark Forest,’ people all around knelt to him, which seemed ludicrous and dramatic.”
“So, to be fair, I don’t like Kevin Walker, nor do I like his plans, but I also don’t have the right to deny that his plans are definitely wrong. Until the last moment, no one knows what success looks like; until the last moment, no one knows who the real Savior is.”
The tea in the cup probably wasn’t steaming anymore.
It had become lukewarm.
Lin Xian picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, then spun the empty cup in his palm:
“Turing is dead.”
“I know that.”
Jask responded with confusion:
“Didn’t you personally kill him in Mi Country? I’m the one who gave you the address.”
“No.”
Lin Xian shook his head:
“What you’re referring to is Kevin Walker. The Turing I speak of, that digital life, has also been killed by me.”
For a moment.
Jask’s eyes widened:
“You… you can kill digital life?”
Lin Xian nodded.
“When did it happen?” Jask pressed on.
“A few days ago.”
Lin Xian thought for a moment:
“June 16th, on Father’s Day.”
Afterward.
Jask fell silent for a long string of seconds.
Then he laughed heartily:
“Well killed!”
“Given the nature of Kevin Walker, a digital version of him would be a disaster sooner or later.”
“That’s great news, Lin Xian. Is this why you called me to East Sea, to tell me this?”
“I must say, this news is fantastic. If I had known earlier, I should have brought a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne!”
However…
Lin Xian’s face remained stern, and he waved his index finger:
“Unfortunately, Jask, the news I wanted to tell you isn’t this. On the contrary, what I have to tell you is actually bad news.”
He looked at Jask, whose smile had frozen, and said softly:
“[You’re going to die soon.]”
“Probably in July, you’ll be murdered, and then your doppelgänger will secretly take your place, deceiving the whole world without anyone’s notice.”
Jask narrowed his eyes:
“Are you… predicting the future?”
Lin Xian shook his head:
“I’m stating the future, or, as Genius Club likes to say… I’m stating the pre-determined history.”
…
Lin Xian’s words.
Left Jask silent.
He initially wanted to ask how Lin Xian found out about this “pre-determined history.”
But then he thought about it and felt it was unnecessary.
Because it doesn’t matter where this “pre-determined history” comes from; what’s important is… it’s real, and that’s enough.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
He knew Lin Xian well as a person and also liked Lin Xian as a friend.
So.
He was quite clear.
Lin Xian wouldn’t deceive him about this matter, and the fact that he specifically called him to East Sea in secret indicated that Lin Xian already suspected…
[There’s an enemy mole among his people.]
Jask’s own first instinct was the same.
He’s the world’s richest man.
It’s not so easy for just anyone to kill him.
The only ones who were a remote threat to him before were Kevin Walker and Turing, and now these two, or rather one, have been killed by Lin Xian.
With this premise, for the enemy to still manage to kill him secretly and silently replace him with a doppelgänger…
It’s hard to imagine.
How the enemy could do so, if there were no sleeper agents or insiders by his side.
“Do you know who killed me?” Jask asked.
Lin Xian shook his head:
“If I knew the exact time and the actual murderer, I would have told you right away. But I only know the approximate time of your death and the fact that you will die, nothing more.”
“However, I suggest that you don’t rely too much on the death timing I mentioned since the future trajectory is constantly changing, and no one knows where the wings of the space-time butterfly might blow it.”
“I understand.”
Jask nodded:
“Too much human interference is bound to create the Space-Time Butterfly Effect, like if I give the enemy a chance earlier, they might kill me sooner; if I’m prepared, they might choose another time, another way to kill me.”
After.
He sighed.
His demeanor increasingly weary:
“Actually, I’ve been rather melancholic this June.”
“I can see that.”
Lin Xian spoke plainly:
“You look very tired and not in your best spirits.”
Jask forced a bitter smile:
“Because I knew at the beginning of the month that… my future plans are doomed to fail.”
