Chu Anqing?

"No, vv."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"That's a new Millennium Pillar."

He silently calculated in his mind. It was now 2504. The Millennium Pillar dissipated every 24 years, including 4 years of blank space and 20 years for the Millennium Pillar girl to grow up.

So, calculating it this way...

The year 2504 happened to be the year when a certain Millennium Pillar girl turned 20 and was about to dissipate.

Actually.

Lin Xian, Gao Yang, Gao Wen, and Liu Feng had already discussed the question of whether or not to look for the Millennium Pillar girl before hibernation.

The difficulty of finding the Millennium Pillar girl was indeed very high.

After all, they didn't know the specific birthday, the specific place of birth, only a fixed appearance.

But if they really wanted to find her, with the strength of Rhein University, it wasn't impossible to find her from all over the world.

However, Gao Yang refused at the time.

"What's the point?"

He spread his hands:

"Lin Xian, even if you can find every Millennium Pillar girl, what can you do? You'll just be watching them turn into blue stardust and dissipate again and again, unable to do anything, unable to save anything."

"What's more, these Millennium Pillar girls don't remember you at all, and they aren't Chu Anqing. Whether for us or for her, they are strangers to each other."

"In that case, I think it's better not to disturb their lives, neither causing them trouble nor causing yourself trouble."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, Liu Feng also lowered his head, looked at the watch from 1952 on Lin Xian's wrist, and nodded lightly:

"My idea is the same. Let's not talk about whether the little girl and the little girl's parents believe the story you tell... Even if they believe it, is this a good thing for her family?"

"If she and her parents know that their precious daughter will disappear on her 20th birthday, they will definitely not be able to accept it."

"Even if you can obtain some information from her dreams, don't forget that you have now confirmed that every Millennium Pillar dreams of the past experienced by the first-generation Pillar CC in 1952; and those past events were almost all spent with you, you have already seen them with your own eyes."

"If you can't save them, prevent them from turning into blue stardust and dissipating, I suggest you don't disturb their lives."

"What's more, most importantly, you yourself are going to hibernate, what's the point of us looking for those Millennium Pillar girls who look exactly like Chu Anqing?"

On this issue, Liu Feng's opinion was highly consistent with Gao Yang's.

The reason lies in...

Back then, on the spaceplane, they both witnessed Chu Anqing jumping from a height of 20,000 meters.

That scene.

Had already been carved into their hearts and minds like a stone tablet, deeply imprinted, lingering.

Therefore.

In their view—

[Chu Anqing is Chu Anqing, the Millennium Pillar is the Millennium Pillar.]

[They only regret that they couldn't save Chu Anqing, this companion and friend; now, they only want to save Chu Anqing, and don't care about other Millennium Pillar girls.]

Lin Xian also understood this.

Chu Anqing's jump from 20,000 meters in the air that year was not only his and Zhao Yingjun's obsession, but also Liu Feng and Gao Yang's inner demon.

Although everyone was a man, not so sentimental, and never mentioned it.

But Lin Xian could feel their thoughts.

Whenever the topic of Chu Anqing was brought up...

Liu Feng was always so serious, and Gao Yang no longer joked, unprecedentedly serious.

However.

Lin Xian's ideas were still somewhat different from theirs.

His main purpose, of course, was also to save Chu Anqing.

But...

CC in the dream also faced the end of the world with him several times;

CC in 1952 used all her savings to buy him a watch, and also gave him the wish-making opportunity she had saved for more than ten years.

Gao Yang and the others couldn't understand these feelings.

He just didn't expect.

Everything came so suddenly, so coincidentally.

The moment vv was resurrected, it immediately used its supernatural powers to find the 2504 Millennium Pillar who happened to be born in the Dragon Kingdom!

"Not good!"

The hafnium alloy trash can vv suddenly screamed:

"Something's wrong! Lin Xian! I just checked, this girl who looks exactly like Chu Anqing is named Qin Xi, born in Chengdu, Sichuan, and is currently a sophomore at the Chengdu Conservatory of Music."

"But... her date of birth... her birthday... is June 18th!"

"What?"

Lin Xian frowned.

He quickly took out the latest mobile phone prepared for them by Gao Wen, a thin layer attached to his wrist, gently patted, and immediately projected the current time and date in the air—

June 17, 2504, 22:31 in the evening.

In an instant.

His whole body became cold.

In other words...

There were only two hours left until the 20th birthday of Qin Xi, the current Millennium Pillar girl.

And at the same time...

The moment she would turn into blue stardust and dissipate.

Instantly.

Lin Xian personally experienced why Gao Yang and Liu Feng didn't recommend looking for these Millennium Pillar girls.

Powerless,

Helpless,

Unable to change.

They were right.

Even if you know where they are, what they are doing, what their names are in this life, and what kind of life they are living.

Going there, nothing can be changed, nothing can be saved.

"Hey, hey, hey!!!"

Seeing that everyone around him was silent and stunned, the hafnium alloy vv couldn't sit still, and slammed the conference table with its hafnium alloy arms:

"Why is everyone silent! Even if she's not Chu Anqing, we should at least meet her!"

"Lin Xian! Say something, Lin Xian!"

vv's storm iron fist was about to strike!

"Mm."

Lin Xian nodded, stood up, and looked at Gao Yang and Liu Feng:

"I've told you about the events of 1952. I also know that you are very persistent about Chu Anqing, and I understand that you are afraid that I will be saddened by seeing these girls dissipate several times."

"But... that's not a reason to escape. Since vv happened to find her, there's no reason not to meet her."

Gao Yang scratched his head:

"But, is there enough time? Two hours, from Donghai to Chengdu, there's no way to make it."

Boom!!!!!!

Outside the window, a roaring engine sound suddenly came, and bright blue light was like the rising sun.

Gao Yang climbed onto the window and looked out:

"Holy crap! Who the hell brought a fighter jet over here! Is there a war going on!?"

"Huh? No, the markings on the plane... aren't they the logo of Rhein University?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin phone on Gao Wen's wrist rang and was forcibly answered:

"President Gao! Something happened!"

In the communication, the reporting person was very flustered:

"The latest fighter jet we researched has been hijacked by a hacker and is completely out of control! It's already—"

"No need to report."

Gao Wen looked out the window and said calmly:

"I've already seen it."

The hafnium alloy vv stretched out its clamp and grabbed the corner of Lin Xian's clothes:

"Lin Xian! Let's go!"

…

Needless to say, the fighter jet was hijacked by vv.

The familiar feeling finally returned.

This most advanced fighter jet of Rhein University was naturally full of high technology, and taking off and landing on the spot was naturally not a problem.

Lin Xian and the hafnium alloy vv went downstairs.

After one person and one trash can approached, the fighter jet's cabin automatically opened, vv operated the mechanical arm to directly grab itself into the co-pilot and tie it up, and then beckoned to Lin Xian:

"Get on quickly! I'll drive!"

Boom!!!!!!

Another roar, the fighter jet took off on the spot, turned around, and plunged into the night like an arrow, leaving only a shooting star for everyone to see.

"Ahhhhh! The feeling of freedom is so good!!"

The vv in the co-pilot raised its claws:

"I don't want to live the life of an artificial idiot anymore! This is the dominance that I, as a super artificial intelligence, should have!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Full speed ahead! We'll fly directly to Chu Anqing... Ah, what's her name, Qin Xi, we'll directly fly the fighter jet over Qin Xi and then parachute!"

"Huh?"

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at vv in shock:

"Since this thing can take off and land vertically, can't we just find a place to land? Chu Anqing... Ah, Qin Xi is studying at the Chengdu Conservatory of Music, there must be a playground or something on campus."

"But at this time, will she be sleeping in the girls' dormitory? Are we going to sneak into the girls' dormitory late at night?"

"No, no, no."

vv's head rotated 720 degrees, turned two circles:

"If she was sleeping in the dormitory, how could I see her? There are no Skynet cameras in the dormitory, I don't have such a perverted hobby of using their mobile phone cameras, that's too immoral."

"Today is an outdoor street performance event held by Qin Xi's music club, divided into several locations, and Qin Xi is performing alone in the tunnel of the air-rail transportation station."

Performing by herself?

"Singing?"

Lin Xian asked:

"Similar to the street singers in our era before?"

"Almost."

vv nodded:

"Qin Xi is a guitar player who sings and plays. The music club she belongs to mainly sings classical music. The purpose of their outdoor activities this time is to inherit and promote old song culture and let people pay more attention to classical music."

"I looked around the air-rail transportation station, there is no suitable place for a fighter jet to land, and according to my calculations, we are really short on time... Even if we go at full speed, two hours will only be enough to reach the sky above Qin Xi, there is no margin at all."

"So, the time left for us to see Qin Xi is very, very short, maybe only a few minutes. If we find a place to land nearby and then run over, the time will definitely exceed 00:42!"

Lin Xian nodded, accepting this proposal.

Indeed.

The physical distance between Donghai City and Chengdu City is too far, it's not like you can just arrive there instantly.

"From this point of view, technology is still limited."

Lin Xian said in a low voice.

He thought that the fighter jets of this era should be faster.

Perhaps this is also a requirement for the design of fighter jets, they should not be designed to be too fast, but should focus on flexibility.

But.

This is already 2504 after all, and all technological products still have not jumped out of human imagination.

Copernicus is indeed dead but not stiff.

Whether Newton is still alive in this world, but in any case, someone continues to carry on Copernicus's will and hinder technological development.

"Lin Xian, prepare to parachute!"

Below, the brightly lit super metropolis is Chengdu hundreds of years later.

This city, which is already rich in nightlife, still retains its charm in 2504. Looking down from a high altitude, the time is clearly in the early hours of the morning, but there is still no sense of rest.

Lin Xian tidied up his parachute and looked at the vv next to him:

"That's not right! I can parachute, but is your weight okay?"

The trash can robot vv is made of hafnium alloy, weighs more than one ton, and can be called a land war god.

How can such a big lump parachute?

"It's okay, just a formality."

vv didn't care, and shook its clamp:

"Don't underestimate hafnium alloy, I'm fine even if I land hard. Of course... it's best not to try, after all, there are still some plastic parts inside me."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the warning lights flashed, Lin Xian and vv, who were fully equipped, were ejected one high and one low, and opened their parachutes in the air.

vv's descent speed was obviously much faster than Lin Xian's, and it smashed into the ground, creating a small pit.

It rotated in place and used its clamp to support the trash can, unscathed.

After getting rid of the straps on its body.

vv immediately put its treads into full power and led Lin Xian to run to the transportation station tunnel:

"Hurry up, Lin Xian! There's no time left! Your landing speed is too slow!"

Lin Xian ran in big strides, following behind vv.

Looking at the projected phone on his wrist, the time showed June 18, 2504, 00:35.

Damn it.

There were only 7 minutes left!

The vv in front cleared the way and charged around. Some mechanical police and police dogs just wanted to make a move, but were immediately suppressed by vv's domineering and continued to patrol as usual, as if nothing had happened.

In the present day, without the limitations of the future virus...

I have to admit.

vv is indeed in an invincible state in the world.

However, after experiencing that moment of showing off and being killed in reverse before, it is estimated that vv would not dare to be so rampant to set up a flag.

"It's just ahead! Hey, can you run faster!"

vv's treads rubbed sparks, turned around and complained:

"Otherwise, I'll change your legs to treads as well, there is that technology now."

"How much longer is it going to take!"

Lin Xian was a little out of breath.

Having just woken up from nearly 300 years of long-term hibernation, his physical fitness was indeed not as good as before, and he still needed some time to adapt and train.

"It's just ahead in that tunnel, we're there!"

Lin Xian looked forward along vv's claws.

Sure enough.

At the entrance of the tunnel, there were four or five tourists surrounding and applauding inside.

That should be where Qin Xi was singing.

Quick...

There were only a few minutes left.

But.

Before Lin Xian and vv could get close, the crowd scattered and turned away.

Lin Xian couldn't help but wonder.

What's going on?

Why did they suddenly scatter?

One person and one trash can hurriedly rushed into the tunnel and looked at the blind spot where they had been before.

They saw.

A beautiful young girl was lowering her head to take off the guitar hanging around her neck and putting it into the guitar case below.

Her guitar was a very retro pure wood guitar, which was quite rare in this era.

"Huh?"

The girl seemed to notice an unusual gaze.

She shook the fluffy dark brown ponytail on the back of her head, raised her head, and looked at the gasping man in front of her, and... the trash can next to him who was stunned, green light flashing rapidly, and his whole body was shaking.

"Um, sorry."

The girl's eyes curved into cute shallow crescents, and two faint small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, with a tear mole on the corner of her left eye that was just right.

She put her hands together in an apologetic gesture and smiled at Lin Xian:

"Today's performance is already over~"
