Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 243 A Kind of Belief

In the end, the company didn't get anything.

According to Screw Gum, the so-called "memory-blocking drug" does not actually exist.

In other words, Chadwick actually kept the key aspects of his research from being revealed to anyone by his own will.

Honestly, whether he says it or not doesn't really matter.

Geniuses are indeed rare, but people are always evolving. No one knows when the research of once-geniuses became commonplace and people took it for granted.

He's just stalling for time by not saying anything now.

Because one day, this thing will be manufactured.

Star is in Chadwick's mental space, talking to Chadwick together with Screw Goom.

Yunzhi was watching from the side.

—At least until the very end, he admitted that he was wrong.

I've already said it, don't pretend you don't know your intentions, okay? Be a little carefree, and everything will be wonderful.

Unfortunately, Chadwick was still a human being.

He wasn't a good person, but at least he still had the most basic human nature.

"All-Knowing Lord, are you still going to watch?"

Yun raised her head and looked out through the window of her dream room at the distant sky.

The enormous celestial computer stood silently in space, its body flashing with fire.

Almost at the same moment.

Chadwick pushed open the door to the room in his dream that imprisoned him.

In an instant, the room turned into pieces, scattering away like torn pieces of white paper.

Xing reflexively raised her hand to cover her face.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Xing's view suddenly opened up beyond the previously crimson gate.

—That was a starry sky.

Xing was stunned.

Screw Gum stepped forward unnoticed, his mechanical eyes, adorned with a monocle, merely scanning the surroundings—

"Before Miss Xing found me and the Black Tower, it was True Monarch Jingfeng Baiyu who first found Dr. Chadwick."

"Logic: The True Lord will negotiate with the Hound, but the Hound will not agree to the True Lord's request for visitation."

Conclusion: The True Lord will find—find—

The screw's shaft made a "creak-creak" sound.

The stars on one side were startled.

"How are you?"

Xing turned her head and looked at the expression under the brim of Screw Gum's hat.

She thought she could see that Screw's mechanical body was leaking electricity.

Oh my god, does it need fixing?

Of course, it doesn't need to be repaired.

Screw Gum had seen the Star God before, so it wouldn't be damaged directly.

The lightning quickly disappeared.

So what will he find?

Xing didn't ask that seemingly silly question.

Does that even need to be said?

Yunzhi, whose divine veins reach the heavens, would naturally choose to make a mountain out of a molehill and summon the learned Venerable.

The moment this thought appeared in my mind, it was as if space itself was warped and the starry sky was transformed.

Xing suddenly felt a pang of fear in her heart.

Screw Gum had already taken off his hat and bowed slightly.

Xing looked around a bit silly, then looked to the left and then to the right, and then bowed her head and followed suit.

Chadwick was still a little slow to react; he slowly raised his head.

—The highest point pursued by countless scholars, the master of wisdom, the king of all things, and the venerable one of broad knowledge.

He hovered silently in front of Chadwick.

He didn't utter a single word, yet he sent a chill down one's spine.

Chadwick was stunned for a moment.

—The geniuses of the Genius Club have all met with Bo Shizun.

They will ask Sir John Bosch a question.

Chadwick was no exception.

What questions did he ask?

So much time has passed that he seems to have forgotten.

After the initial shock, Xingzai quickly calmed down.

I couldn't resist taking a sneaky peek.

Bo Shizun did not notice her.

Xing was a little disappointed, but it wasn't unexpected.

Only intelligent people can catch the eye of a learned and esteemed person; she probably hasn't reached that level yet.

...So does that mean I'll be destined to be barred from knowledge and a fulfilling life in the future?

Feeling inexplicably comforted, Xing lowered her head.

Don't stare at the Star God for too long, it might explode.

But she seemed to hear the voice of the Venerable Master Boshi—

"You can rest now."

The mechanical voice couldn't identify who it was simulating; perhaps it was its creator, Zandal, or perhaps it was some voice in the universe that no one had ever heard before.

Bo Shizun quietly looked at the genius he had once acknowledged and smiled.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the others, Chadwick closed his eyes, and the memory stored in Pinocchio began to slowly fade away.

Xing blinked.

She seemed to hope that this vast sea of ​​stars could respond to the passing of a genius.

But the loss of a life is far too insignificant, even for a genius.

Screws sighed, "His research had the potential to save countless lives—but before a real catastrophe strikes, all we can do is pray that His Excellency's gaze will fall upon the next Calderon Chadwick."

He didn't care that the learned and respected man was right in front of him.

The real disaster?

Xing felt like she had heard similar things many times before.

Yun Zhi remained silent on the matter, and the others could not give a general answer either.

Xing could only tilt her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

(Yunzhi: Old Mi hasn't written this far yet, so intuition won't work.)

However, Screwgoom says that Chadwick's research could save trillions of lives...

Is the disaster related to the tree of imaginary numbers?

A brilliant idea flashed in Xing's mind.

The learned scholar who is looking at this place: ...

Forget it, this flash of inspiration doesn't seem like much.

Chadwick's last memories vanished before his eyes.

Star and Screw Gum remained silent.

In the end, the wise man did not say anything particularly inspiring; he simply told Chadwick to rest.

Then I watched him fall asleep peacefully.

Then, the Venerable Bodhidharma disappeared.

Xing was at a loss for what to do next.

"It's time for us to wake up, Miss Hoshi."

The sound of screws clicking echoed in my ears.

Xing nodded.

Subsequently, in the depths of the sea, Xing left Chadwick's mental space.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the square where she had met Chadwick.

Then, she left the dream.

--------------

Xing woke up in Chadwick's dusty and rather cold room.

Yun had cleaned the sofa in the room spotless and was sitting there waiting for him and Luo Sigu to come out.

"Zhi? When did you get out?"

Xing asked.

"He came out when Chadwick disappeared."

Yunzhi leaned back on the sofa, resting her chin on her hand: "The farewell is over. You've worked hard, Screw Gumu."

"You're too kind, True Lord."

There seemed to be some excitement in Screw Gum's tone: "This operation also had some unexpected surprises."

Yunzhi: ?

It seems that Master Boshizun didn't even speak to you.

Forget it.

Screw Goom then sighed, "But Dr. Chadwick's research vanished with his death. I wonder when another genius in imaginary number research will emerge?"

Yunzhi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

As Chadwick's memories faded from view, Yunzhi and Boshizun had a brief conversation.

"—Will his research simply vanish without leaving anything for posterity, just like Zandal's?"

Yun was very curious at that time.

However, Bo Shizun packaged Chadwick's research into a small machine and handed it over to Yunzhi.

"Perhaps you can choose someone you can trust."

Entrust this research to a trustworthy person who can truly make good use of this wisdom.

Yunzhi accepted the small item without hesitation.

"Trustworthy? The Heavenly Emperor should know that those I trust are now on a different path."

"Therefore, Your Majesty should put in more effort to find someone more suitable for this wisdom."

There is only one Chadwick, but there are countless geniuses.

and so--

"Alright, Lord Bianzhi, thank you for coming all this way. I'm not in a good mood, so I won't see you off."

Seeing Chadwick really put me in a terrible mood!

Master of Knowledge: ...

He calculated quickly.

Question: What should I do if the [Hunting] talisman is unhappy because it reminds me of the past?

Logic: When a child is unhappy, you have to coax them.

Conclusion: Send [Hunter] to coax them.

Yes, that's the best calculation result.
