August 28, 2624…

Still the same day.

The time of the dream has not changed.

But except for time...everything else in the dream has changed.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xian supported the mossy and muddy stone wall with one hand and put his hand on his forehead to think.

[Space-time butterfly effect].

obviously.

[Time and Space Change] occurred again in the dream.

So what's the reason for the change?

What is the source?

What is the anchor point?

When does a butterfly flap its wings?

Lin Xian opened his eyes...

He recalled the news he saw before going to bed yesterday:

"Tunghai University is receiving and organizing Xu Yun's research materials and unfinished papers, and will follow Xu Yun's last wish and publish them to the world. 》

"Maybe that's the reason."

His heartbeat calmed down, and the lost sense of security gradually returned.

This is indeed still his dreamland, that's right.

He didn't watch the news today, but from the looks of it, Tunghai University should have published Xu Yun's research information publicly.

"That's not right. In fact, even if it is not published publicly, as long as the official organization intervenes in this matter and receives Xu Yun's research data, then this moment has become an [anchor that is difficult to recover]."

"Because the official organization is very large and reliable, it is only a matter of time before they follow Xu Yun's wishes and disclose the information. And if the official does not intervene in this matter, Xu Yun's research information will be kept in the laboratory. The thesis has not been completed, and everything is an original copy without backup. In fact, if you really want to destroy it... there are still certain variables. "

Anyway.

The space-time butterfly still flaps its wings, and changes in time and space still occur.

It's just that this time the butterfly's wings were all puffed up and smoking... and hundreds of thousands of tornadoes rolled up the future world 600 years later into a completely new look.

This is reasonable in terms of time and space logic.

But the problem is——

"[How come the technological level of the future world has regressed?]"

Lin Xian looked left and right.

No matter how you look at it... the technological level, economic level, and living standard here are too backward.

In the previous dream, although it was very backward, it was not much different from the 2023 where Lin Xian lived. It could be considered a modern city after all.

But this scene in front of him... Lin Xian's grandfather's house where he went when he was a child was much more developed than here!

At least my grandpa’s house has access to a road.

But the stone road here has twists and turns. Let alone cars, even riding a bicycle has to take a detour.

Look inside the canteen again.

Almost everything was wrapped in worn oil paper.

Tungsten light bulbs, thermos bottle linings, shoelaces, shoddy hardware, colorful shampoos, and all kinds of snacks that you wouldn’t dare to eat at first sight...

How is this going?

A good year 2624...

How come the life scene is almost the same as it was in the 1980s and 1990s?

If the dream world changed drastically after the publication of Xu Yun's paper, including starship cannons, space elevators, etc... Lin Xian would not find it strange at all.

Because it's very logical.

Even Professor Xu Yun himself said that once the hibernating cabin comes out, the world structure may be rewritten. Human science and technology will inevitably enter an era of rapid development, and the future is immeasurable.

But taking off quickly...

Why did you fly back?

Lin Xian couldn't convince himself and couldn't accept the facts before him.

Taking a step back, even if Xu Yun's paper is released, the technological level of the future world will still make no progress, and he is still "born" in that square, he can accept it.

But after the publication of this paper, technology has regressed for decades!

"What happened in the past 600 years?"

…

In the canteen.

The man in the vest stopped fanning and looked at the tall man who was uncertain at the door:

"What's the matter, young man? Do you want to buy something?"

"No, no..." Lin Xian waved his hand:

"Uncle, I want to ask-"

Clang.

While the two were talking, a man in black clothes and a black hat suddenly rushed out from behind Lin Xian.

He is very fast!

After knocking over the shelves outside, he reached out and picked up the money box on the glass cabinet, turned around and ran away!

"Hello!"

The uncle jumped up immediately! Grab the thief by the arm:

"Put it down! Put you down! Ah——"

The thief kicked the uncle in the stomach, and the uncle fell directly next to the glass cabinet, grinning in pain.

He pointed at the thief who was going away and looked at Lin Xian:

"Little... boy... help me... catch..."

"Ah, okay."

Lin Xian turned around, fully activated his parkour skills, and chased after the black shadow in the night.

It just so happens that he has many things to ask this old man. Help him get the money box back --\u003e\u003e

Good communication.

The thief is obviously familiar with this area.

Turning left and right, the rugged path felt like walking on flat ground, and jumping left and right dazzled Lin Xian's eyes.

But Lin Xian is not a vegetarian either.

After so many years of parkour skills, he hasn't lost a single day. He kicked left and jumped right, jumped around a few corners, and directly caught up with the thief!

"Let's go!" "Ah——"

With a flying kick, the thief fell directly to the ground.

Lin Xian quickly rode up, held him down, grabbed the money box from his hand, and put it behind him. Just about to tie him up——

Bah!

The sound of a sharp knife sinking into flesh.

Lin Xian's eyes turned red and he looked at his chest...

The thief has a dagger hidden in his waist!

At this moment, it has penetrated deeply into my heart!

puff!

As the thief pulled out the dagger, the huge blood pressure squeezed the blood out of the knife edge and sprayed far away.

Lin Xian felt exhausted for a while and was about to stand up...

"What the hell, I told you to mind your own business! I told you to mind your own business!"

Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!

The thief is ruthless and accurate! The knife stabbed into Lin Xian's vital part! Another stab in the neck! A knife to the head!

…

…

Teng——

Lin Xian jumped up from the bedroom bed!

Shortness of breath.

Grasp the heart.

The heartbeat is very fast and cannot come down!

Lin Xian gritted his teeth, stretched his fingers to the lamp on the bedside table, and pressed the switch——

Click.

…

On the outskirts of Donghai City, in a villa facing the lake, the huge crystal chandelier in the living room lit up.

The whole room was as bright as day.

"Since you are at home...then turn on the lights..."

A hand with dry and wrinkled skin moved away from the light switch.

The old man closed the door, walked in, and looked at the fair boy squatting among the messy books:

"I have told you so many times that this is not good for your eyes... You are already very short-sighted."

"Or do you think reading under the moonlight is cool? I think you must be past that age... Ji Lin."

Ji Lin concentrated on his work and said nothing.

He rolled up the "Mathematics Monthly" magazine in one hand, held a pencil in the other, and quickly wrote on the magazine's back pages.

Whoosh——

He finished writing quickly and tossed the magazine aside.

Then I picked up the February issue of Mathematics Monthly next to me.

The old man stepped forward and picked up the magazine on the ground.

This is the January 2022 issue of Mathematics Monthly. Because this house has been unoccupied for a long time, the ordered magazines and newspapers are piled neatly in the living room.

The old man turned to the page where Ji Lin had just written...

It's a page of Sudoku, a very difficult math game.

The Sudoku board consists of nine palaces, and each palace is divided into nine small grids.

Give certain known numbers and solution conditions in these eighty-one squares, and use logic and reasoning to fill in the numbers 1-9 in the other blanks. Make each number 1-9 appear only once in each row, column and house.

This is a game that tests IQ and mental computing power. Even a world-class master will need three or four minutes to complete this difficult version of Sudoku.

Wow——

Ji Lin threw the February issue over again.

The old man lowered his head...

On the back page of this February issue, there is also an irregular and difficult Sudoku. But just when he picked up the magazine and flipped through it... Ji Lin had already finished it.

Looking up again, Ji Lin under the moonlight had picked up the March issue of Mathematics Monthly, turned to the back page, and started to do a new Sudoku.

"Actually, even if you don't come to Xu Yun's memorial service this time, I plan to call you to Donghai."

The old man seemed to be used to Ji Lin's silence, and seemed not to take it to heart. He said to himself:

"Xu Yun...he doesn't deserve to die."

"Why should you die if you don't deserve to die?"

The pencil in Ji Lin's hand was scratching back and forth on the magazine without looking up, and he rarely responded softly.

"Because someone harmed him!"

The old man gritted his teeth and his voice was hoarse:

"I know Xu Yun very well... He is good, but his talent is really lacking. Let alone one Xu Yun, even if it is ten Xu Yun or one hundred thousand Xu Yun! It is absolutely impossible to fill the hibernation cabin with liquid in this life Study it!"

"so what?"

Ji Lin blinked his half-opened eyes and threw the March issue of "Mathematical Monthly" to the ground. He wrote the Sudoku in one go without any trace of erasure.

"So, someone secretly caused trouble and changed everything!"

The old man took out a rolled-up list of names from his pocket and threw it to Ji Lin:

"I suspect someone is..."

"[Disrupting History]!"
