Genius Club-Chapter 533 - 1 History Lock_2

"Black... just like our eyes, not a glint of light, not a hint of blue. In that moment, she just seemed to really become one of us... turned into a regular person. Then Huang Que’s expression was extremely painful, as if someone had stabbed her with a knife."

"But she quickly recovered, stood up on her own, and without even catching her breath, she immediately started calling for you on the radio. But our Skyspace Aircraft’s long-range communication equipment was broken, and the radio only works over walkie-talkie distances, so naturally, you couldn’t hear her. She then hurriedly notified Wei Cheng to return and land."

"After we landed, we re-established contact with the ground control center, learned you were safe, and that China had already sent people to rescue you. Only then did we all feel relieved. Then Huang Que instructed us that we mustn’t tell you about what happened on the Skyspace Aircraft."

"But there’s no way the two of us would listen to her! We’re not her errand boys... So later on, Liu Feng and I discussed that we must tell you. I only learned the specifics about Chu Anqing’s situation when you told me just now... And I started to wonder, could these two incidents be connected?"

...

Upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, Lin Xian recalled what Chu Anqing had once told him.

It was almost the same as what Gao Yang said.

Back at the Imperial Capital Astronaut Secret Training Base, Huang Que also became weak and trembled in the bathroom, kneeling on the ground, her expression agonized.

What was different was,

That time, Huang Que didn’t become "transparent," and thinking about it now, Huang Que’s eyes light and color must have also faded then, or perhaps, like this time, they turned black like a normal person’s.

And the reason she wouldn’t lift her head to let Chu Anqing see was probably that she was afraid Chu Anqing would notice this detail.

Gao Yang’s chubby hand moved away from Lin Xian’s shoulder.

He took a step back,

No longer blocking Lin Xian.

He looked up and said softly,

"I’m telling you this without any ulterior motives, and not to defend Huang Que or anything. On the contrary, I’ve always disliked her. I feel she’s full of lies, knows everything yet says nothing, and doesn’t care about our lives one bit."

"But... ah, I’m not good with words, and can’t quite explain it, but I just feel torn inside. Anyway, I’ve told you everything I know; it’s up to you to make your own judgment."

"I share the same thoughts as you do. Chu Anqing is our friend, and it’s distressing and infuriating that she disappeared without a trace. However, there’s an old saying in China: no death without a body. Since we haven’t seen her body, I think it’s premature to conclude that Chu Anqing is dead."

"Look, with all the supernatural phenomena happening around us recently, with Space-Time Particles and Huang Que becoming transparent, eye colors changing like a carousel... really, I think it’s possible Chu Anqing isn’t dead; there might be some other hidden factor! So you should not assume the worst about what happened. If Space-Time Particles can become invisible, perhaps Chu Anqing just turned invisible and can’t be seen, right?"

After speaking, Gao Yang spread his hands and looked at Lin Xian,

"There, I’ve said all I had to say. That’s it. Don’t worry, Lin Xian. You’re the best friend I’ve ever had, no matter what you decide to do, whether it’s right or wrong, I will always support you and stand by your side."

"So... go and do what you want to do. Go find Huang Que and get everything cleared up."

Lin Xian nodded.

He patted Gao Yang on the shoulder:

"Don’t worry, I know my limits."

...

Squeak————

The office’s metal door was pushed open.

The hinge emitted a heart-wrenching noise.

Lin Xian walked in.

Looking up,

Huang Que, as if she had been waiting for him, wasn’t seated behind the office desk.

Instead, she stood in front of it.

Sitting on the edge of the desk, arms crossed, her lucent, pale blue eyes still looked at him like glass:

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Lin Xian."

She said calmly:

"I’m really surprised. I never thought you’d dare to jump off the plane... and yet manage to land safely and unharmed. I admit, I may have underestimated you before; you’re much stronger and have grown much faster than I expected."

"Quit the small talk."

Lin Xian interrupted her.

He closed the office metal door, walked to the center of the room:

"Since you knew I’d come, you must also know what I’m going to ask. Tell me..."

He looked straight into Huang Que’s blue eyes:

"What exactly happened to Chu Anqing? Why did she just disappear into thin air?"

"I can’t say."

"Is she dead? Has she disappeared? Turned invisible? Or has she gone somewhere else?"

"I can’t talk."

Lin Xian frowned:

"Don’t fob me off with that excuse anymore. You keep saying you can’t speak; how did the term ’Millennium Stakes’ come out then? Isn’t that contradictory?"

"That’s because ’Millennium Stakes’ is a term I made up."

Huang Que blinked:

"The original name for Millennium Stakes wasn’t that; it has a more accurate, definitive name. If I said that name directly, you wouldn’t be asking me all these questions, because you’d understand what it means just by hearing it."

"Then say that term."

Lin Xian stared at her:

"Tell me the real term for ’Millennium Stakes’; let’s see what happens, what unfolds."
