Genius club

steaming.

The old man took the hood off and took two steps back.

But then——

"Heheheheheheheh!"

He quickly regained his composure, looked at Lin Xian and squeezed his eyes, laughing dryly:

"My child, it's too late..."

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

White light suddenly appeared, burning everything.

…

…

…

On the luxurious bed, Lin Xian opened his eyes.

"How about it?"

VV controls the electric curtains to open, and dazzling sunlight shines in.

It's noon in New York right now, and the sun is just right.

"It's quite embarrassing. I'm still getting goosebumps now. It's so weird."

"I mean what did the old man say!" VV shouted.

"He said it was too late."

Lin Xian rubbed his eyes and stood up from the big bed:

"But this is not important. What is important is that, just like what you said, the moment I called out Kevin Walker's name, he was really frightened and his pupils shrank violently."

"I think...even if it doesn't prove, he must be Kevin Walker. But at least it can be concluded that he knows the name Kevin Walker. Anyway, the two people should have an inseparable relationship."

Just now, before falling into a dream.

VV gave Lin Xian some acting training. It said that if you want to deceive information from the other party, you must be unexpected and act extremely confident.

In this way, without psychological preparation, micro-expressions and micro-eyes will definitely reveal something.

"Furthermore, Lin Xian, your advantage is that you can try and make mistakes countless times. When you fall asleep next time, you can still laugh so arrogantly, and then call another name and see the reaction in his eyes. If it is not like this time, Strongly, there is a high probability that he is Kevin Walker.”

"In short, as you said, we still have to find Kevin Walker in reality no matter what. After you finish your business in the United States, return home as soon as possible, and then I will protect you while accelerating iterative evolution. Wait until I When we become strong enough... we will definitely be able to find Kevin Walker!"

"It's okay, you have plenty of time."

Lin Xian got down from the bed and put on his slippers:

"After I return to China, I still have a lot of things to do, such as the Guizhou Sky Eye, the Cosmological Constant, the Mirror Puzzle, etc. Then we can all be busy with our own affairs. The ultimate goal of these things is the same, to master more power and Intelligence is not a bad thing for us after all.”

"I went to wash up and tidy up before it's time to go to Princeton."

…

Several black, bulletproof cars from the consulate drove past Princeton University.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing were sitting in the car, looking at this world-famous school with a long history.

"Did Einstein teach here?"

Problem baby Chu Anqing asked.

"Yes."

Lin Xian nodded:

"He spent more than 20 years before his death in Princeton. Due to various reasons... In fact, his life was not very happy, but it was generally passable. There was always more melancholy in his heart. This is probably the reason. He declined all invitations to research and work in order to teach quietly at Princeton University."

Chu Anqing turned her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"I heard that Einstein's brain was stolen? Is it still in this university now?"

"There must be a part of it. I heard that it was cut into many pieces and given to many research institutions."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"But the specifics are not clear."

Shortly after.

A total of four black cars and two escort vehicles were parked one kilometer away from Princeton University.

Marshall Street.

The car door opened, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing got out of the car, and looked up at the old and somewhat dilapidated single-family house in front of them.

112 Marshall Street.

This is where the great man of the century, Albert Einstein, lived in his later years. At the same time, it was also where Ji Lin bought it, placed a painting, and gave it as a gift to Lin Xian.

The two walked into the courtyard that had not been taken care of for a long time, walked up the steps, and looked at the slightly shabby door in front of them.

Lin Xian put his hand into his inner pocket.

Take out a flat key.

This key was given to him by Angelica, the last Seven Deadly Sins, after the East China Sea Commendation Conference.

Lin Xian could also guess it.

Ji Lin had so many inheritances, but this dilapidated hut was the only one that Angelica had to deliver the key to herself.

This incidates that……

This house is worth more to Ji Lin than all other properties combined.

And the only thing that Ji Lin could attach so much importance to was——

Genius Club.

during this time.

Lin Xian felt inexplicably that he was getting closer to the genius club.

I really have this sixth sense.

As I become stronger and stronger, then--\u003e\u003e

The more things he touches... the more he feels that the end point of all the whirlpools is heading in the same weird direction, the mysterious black hand that has been hidden in the long river of history for more than 600 years.

Will you find the answer here?

Whether it's Ji Xinshui or Ji Lin, they all want to get an invitation letter to the genius club.

It's not just them.

Even I really want an invitation letter.

Oriole said.

The easiest way to find out the answer to all this is to get a real invitation to the Genius Club.

really.

For now, I am once again trapped in a whirlpool of confusion and surrounded by mysteries.

An invitation letter to the Genius Club is what I want most! 】

Click.

Lin Xian inserted the flat key into the door and twisted it hard——

Squeak...

The door that hadn't been opened for a long time made a heartbreaking sound.

The sun shines diagonally into the house, reflecting a standard rectangle on the ground. Outside the light is darkness, and the light is full of dust.

Chu Anqing slapped the dust in front of her face and coughed twice:

"This... ahem... this dust, it seems like no one has cleaned it for a long time."

Lin Xian nodded.

After Xu Yun's death, Ji Lin came to the Dragon Kingdom. It has been ten months since then. Ji Lin must have not been here in these ten months. Therefore, the dust in this room has accumulated for more than a year at least. No wonder the wind caused by pushing the door is so choking.

The two walked into the house and instantly felt the temperature drop suddenly.

Lin Xian found the light switch at the entrance and pressed it.

Click.

The dark room became brighter.

Look left and right.

The two found that there was really nothing in the house, and the house was just bare. To put it bluntly, the only furniture... is probably the thick, opaque black curtains that completely block the sunlight.

"It's like Ji Lin's style." Chu Anqing whispered.

The two of them continued walking inside.

There is absolutely nothing on the first floor, not even a mouse can bother to live in this place.

Lin Xian and Chu Anqing walked up the stairs to the second floor, and finally found the only thing in the house that could be called decoration besides curtains——

An oil painting hanging on the wall of the living room on the second floor:

"Sad Einstein"

Lin Xian stared at this painting, which was so captivating whenever he saw it.

Einstein's dull eyes were like black holes in the universe, as if they were about to blow away what was in front of him.

Everything is pulled into the abyss of the unknown.

Melancholy, sadness, and despair filled this great man's face.

Coldness, depression, and heaviness also weighed on the hearts of every audience.

"Senior Lin Xian, is this painting a fake copy?"

Chu Anqing asked curiously.

Because at the beginning of this year, when she and senior Lin Xian met by chance at the Donghai Exhibition Hall, they visited the world tour oil painting exhibition held at that time.

This painting is on display above.

Moreover, senior Lin Xian patiently told her the historical background of this painting——

Einstein was depressed by the explosion of nuclear weapons and frightened by his proposal of the mass-energy equation.

He blamed himself for opening Pandora's box, which cast a layer of gray destruction on the future of the human world.

"Humanity...does it really have a future?"

At that time, Einstein often asked himself this question, and he died in depression amid such guilt, self-blame, and fear.

"It should be true. It is said that Henry Dawson painted more than one "Sad Einstein", and each one has a different code hidden in it."

As Lin Xian spoke, he turned on the ceiling lamp in the living room on the second floor and approached the oil painting to inspect it.

This rumor...he didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was actually Angelica's family's opinion.

However, Lin Xian also believed that with Ji Lin's strength, if there were 8 genuine copies of this not-so-famous painting, he would definitely be able to easily get one of them, just by spending some money. He really didn't need it. Money, not to mention... behind him is Ji Xinshui, a world-class plutocrat.

Password, where is it hidden?

Lin Xian carefully observed the details of this oil painting, and then compared it with the painting in the East China Sea Exhibition Hall... Very quickly! He really found something different!

"Eyebrow."

Lin Xian said softly.

He raised his finger and pointed at the eyebrows above Einstein's left eye socket in this oil painting:

"I can't remember the other parts clearly, but I saw the eyebrow part of the left eye socket very clearly at that time. In the "Sad Einstein" oil painting displayed in the Donghai Exhibition Hall, the eyebrow position is concave When it went in, the whole piece of oil paint was dented."

"I was very surprised at the time. What kind of strange painting technique is this? As an art student, I intuitively felt that this place should not be painted like this. I used a concave technique to paint the densest part of the eyebrow... I thought at the time It’s been a long time, and I don’t know what the specific purpose is.”

"However, a master is a master after all. I am certainly not qualified to question Henry Dawson with my three-legged cat skills. Although he is not famous in the field of modern painters, he is still a master after all. There must be deep meaning in doing this, right? Light and shadow effect? ​​Side view? I don’t know, I can only say it’s not very impressive.”

"But look at this one, "Sad Einstein," also by Henry Dawson. The left eyebrow here is completely normal."

Lin Xian pressed his fingers directly on the hard--\u003e\u003e

On the hard oil paint, Chu Anqing motioned to look closer:

"Look, the eyebrow paint here is raised normally. This is the correct painting technique. It is very natural and three-dimensional."

Chu Anqing nodded.

She studied watercolor painting.

Although watercolor and oil paint are different, they are generally similar. Mistakes such as sunken eyebrows will never happen under the hands of a master.

What's more, the oil paint itself is smeared, and the dented oil paint can be easily repaired. For Henry Dawson, this is a trivial matter and a piece of cake.

"So, Henry Dawson must have done it on purpose."

Chu Anqing whispered, then tilted her head and looked at Einstein's nose from the side:

"But this oil painting... Senior Lin Xian, if you look at it from the side, is it that the perspective of the nose is a bit strange?"

Lin Xian heard the sound and leaned over.

really.

The bridge of the nose is obviously higher than expected.

If it is just an ordinary height, it can also be understood as "beautifying" the bridge of the nose, but this kind of height is more like being deliberately higher. It is not obvious when looking at this painting from the front, but if you look at it from the side... Professionals It's immediately obvious that it's weird.

"Is this really authentic, Senior Lin Xian? I feel like this kind of mistake is not something a master would make."

"No……"

Lin Xian shook his head:

"On the contrary, this is more indicative of the authenticity. If this painting is a fake imitation, how could such a low-level mistake be made? Nowadays, those forgery painters have very high technical levels. Although their creativity is not good, they are copied. The paintings are exactly the same and it is difficult to tell whether they are genuine or not. Unless a professional appraiser comes over, it is generally difficult to tell... Therefore, Henry Dawson may make such a small mistake, but those studios that produce fakes will definitely not You will make this mistake.”

He looked up and down again:

"Perhaps the height difference in these subtle details is the code left by Henry Dawson in this oil painting."

Lin Xian thought of this when he first heard Angelica talking about oil painting.

The characteristic of oil painting is that it is three-dimensional and its oil paint has height.

These height differences...

It’s the perfect dimension to hide passwords!

"Ah! So that's it!"

Chu Anqing suddenly realized it, clapped her hands, and said with a smile:

"Then I have a good idea! I just learned it in the school class some time ago. The teacher taught us some tips when practicing light and shadow!"

Say it.

She trotted to the stairs and pressed the light switch.

Click.

The entire second floor was dark, and there was no light at all.

"Dangdangdangdang"

Chu Anqing smiled and jumped to the left side of the painting, took out her mobile phone and pressed it against the wall, then pressed the flashlight icon to keep the flash on——

moment.

Lin Xian took a breath of cold air.

Because the oil paint is uneven, these straight rays of light coming from the left will form small shadows of different lengths on the oil canvas according to the height of the oil paint.

Different lengths! 】

Now Lin Xian could clearly see those shadows of different lengths, just like the Moses code, long and short, neatly arranged on the canvas!

So neat...

Line by line, not straight.

It’s obvious at first glance that it was done intentionally!

"This is……"

Lin Xian pursed his lips and swallowed:

"Is there... the Einstein code hidden in "Sad Einstein"?"

He didn't know what to call the code exactly.

Einstein code?

Or the Henry Dawson code?

But it doesn't matter what they are called. What matters is... what do these passwords mean? Pointing to where?

"This is not Morse code."

Lin Xian analyzed:

"Not only are there only two types of long and short, these shadows have several lengths, and although the overall shape is neat, there are still some artificial tilts. This kind of code... should not be cracked in a short time."

"Do you need an expert to crack passwords?" Chu Anqing asked.

"Do you know him?" Lin Xian looked at her.

Chu Anqing shook her head:

"I don't know any cryptographers... Or rather, I'm really unfamiliar with this profession. The only cryptographer I can think of is a movie I watched before, "The Imitation Game," which tells the story of a man in history. The story of a real cryptography expert."

"He was a hero in World War II. It was the machine he invented that deciphered the German army's code system and thereby reversed the entire situation of World War II."

Lin Xian turned around:

"Aren't you talking about the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence?

father……"

Chu Anqing nodded:

"That's right, it's Alan Turing]."

Lin Xian chuckled:

"Indeed, he is a great scientist. Not only a scientist, he has many names, including computer science, mathematics, logic, cryptography, theoretical biology...etc., etc., he is an undisputed one. A true genius."

"It's just...his old age is also more miserable."

Lin Xian walked back to the oil painting, held the frame, and took the entire painting off the wall:

\u003e "No matter how good Turing is in cracking codes, he is already dead and we can't find him. So we'd better take him back to China and find some domestic cryptography experts to help."

After that, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing went downstairs together, put the oil painting on the car, and returned to the hotel where the Dragon Kingdom team lived, preparing to return home.

…

boom------

The Dragon Kingdom's special plane took off from the New York Airport and flew to the Dragon Kingdom on the other side of the ocean.

After landing.

Lin Xian arranged for the driver to take Chu Anqing back to Tunghai University, and then returned to the Rhine Company headquarters.

I have been away for so long during this period, and a lot of things have been squeezed out. After all, I am the president, and I have to sign and decide on many things myself. This process cannot be overcome.

Brother Wang came to Lin Xian's office holding a thick stack of documents.

With a bang, he placed it heavily on the table:

"Oh, look, there are so many, and they all need your signature for review."

Lin Xian nodded and started flipping through the documents:

"Brother Wang, you have worked really hard for me during this period. You also know that I am a hands-off shopkeeper. The reason why Rheinland Company can operate so well is entirely due to your efforts."

Brother Wang smiled and waved his hand:

"Why are you so polite? In fact, I should be thanking you. It was you who gave me this opportunity to be the vice president. It gave me such a platform to use my abilities and build a company from scratch. I feel very accomplished. .

"You can't say that, Brother Wang."

Lin Xian put the signed document aside and continued to flip through the next document:

"Originally, even if you didn't come to Rhine Company as the vice president, MX Company was still planning to promote you to the position of vice president. You would be the vice president wherever you go."

"No, no, no, Lin Xian is different."

Brother Wang pulled up a chair and sat down, explaining to Lin Xian:

"MX Company already has three vice presidents, and no one has retired, and they are not too old. Even if I am promoted to vice president, I will still be ranked fourth. What can I take care of? I am not talking about power... It’s just that I am actually a very dreamy person, and I want to do a career that satisfies me. What I value more than wealth and fame is this sense of accomplishment.”

"So, even if I become a vice president at MX Company, it's just a casual job, which is equivalent to early retirement. With the three vice presidents above, I can't control anything, make no decisions, and almost can't do anything. .

"I won't hide it from you, Lin Xian."

Brother Wang laughed and said:

"Actually, I made a plan some time ago. After I was appointed as the vice president, I will semi-retire at MX Company. I am going to go out and do something on my own and fulfill a dream I have had since I was a child."

"But I definitely don't have this idea now. Don't worry, Lin Xian. You gave me the opportunity to realize the value of my life, and I will definitely do it for you! My childhood dream has been given up long ago. I don't even think about it anymore. I Now my only focus is on how to do a good job at RWE."

Lin Xian lowered his head to sign the document and asked casually:

"What dream?"

"I want to open a bank!"

When talking about his dream, Brother Wang beams with joy:

"But it's not an ordinary bank, but a bank that only provides safe deposit boxes; and my bank does not serve customers with valuables, but those who have used safes for a long time, even across centuries and hundreds of years. User! When I was a child, when I watched the plot of Nobita burying the time capsule in Doraemon, I already planned it when I had money!

Now, let’s open a bank like this that provides time capsules to the world! "

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've been thinking about this for years. I even thought of the name of the bank!"

Brother Wang chuckled:

"Since it's a bank related to time capsules... time, English time, of course the name is——"

"Tem Bank!]"
