met free Chapter 247
Chapter 247
The old man in front of him seemed extraordinary. He could see the vitality surging in Xing at a glance.
[The energy you have... is endless... and seems to be constantly flowing out, exceeding the limit of the heart of any creature I know. ]
When talking about this, the old man's tone began to reveal a hint of excitement.
Although he wanted to talk to Xing, a hound suddenly appeared on the side.
[Sorry to bother you, Dr. Chadwick, the hound received news that you are being harassed by unknown people. We are here to help you drive away the troublemakers.]
Seeing the hound, the old man raised his head and lowered it again, as if he had expected it.
And the hound's stiff attitude also attracted the attention of the audience.
"Oh my god, this guy is so arrogant, he didn't say anything himself"
"That's right, we were just chatting, why did he come out to chase people away?"
"Dr. Chadwick, it sounds like he is not a simple person!"
Seeing that Xing was still unwilling to leave, the Hound directly labeled Xing an intruder and was ready to expel him at any time.
Chadwick saw this and quickly said that he would let him go for his sake.
The conflict was temporarily suppressed. Just when Xing wanted to say something, the figure of the Clock Boy suddenly appeared on the side.
[...Tick! Come here, come here! ]
After coming to the side of the Clock Boy, it noticed that something was wrong with the old man.
[I can feel that the old man must be missing something! Tick, he is very pitiful! ]
So after waiting for a long time, the Hound members finally left, and Xing and the Clock Boy stepped forward to try to change the other party's mood through the clock trick.
But after the clock trick was successful, the other party's expression still did not fluctuate at all.
Xing noticed that the old man's limbs seemed to be trembling slightly.
[I...seem to remember something, something began to emerge. ]
[The memory is still incomplete, many fragments are incomplete...but I can indeed see them. ]
The old man closed his eyes and began to look back on the past, and in the end only a few fragments were recalled.
[I saw...something, some kind of...weapon, accompanied by endless killing and death. It seems to be related to me. ]
Although the memory is vague, Chadwick knows clearly that he does not want to follow that line of thought.
[I also saw...some people, ah...outstanding people, shining even in bulk memories. ]
[I...I used to be one of them, I was...]
[...Genius Club, I finally remembered-I used to be a member of the Genius Club. ]
As soon as the words came out, the audience was also shocked.
"What? This old man is actually a member of the Genius Club?"
"Is this true? Is he crazy?"
"The font in the conversation is specially marked in yellow, it feels like it should be true!"
"What kind of luck is this? I can meet a genius when I go out!"
The old man was also wondering why he stayed in Pinoconi, and then glanced at the direction where the hound just left.
He suspected that the family had exerted some kind of influence on him, so he wanted to get rid of the family with the help of external forces.
And Xing happened to know several members of the Genius Club, so the old man asked Xing for help, and finally out of trust in the old man, Xing agreed.
Then Xing sent a message to Heita, asking the other party if he knew a genius member named Chadwick.
When he got the news on the first day of the first month, even Heita was a little shocked and thought Xing was joking.
Seeing Xing's serious attitude, Heita asked her to come to the space station quickly, and specifically stated that this matter should not be told to others.
After arriving at the most (un)mysterious office of Heita in the universe, I didn't expect that Screw Gumm was also there.
At this moment, Black Tower interrupted the pleasantries between the two.
[I don't want to wait! The things in his hand are too precious. ]
The fact that Black Tower said the word precious made the audience finally understand that the old man was a genuine genius member.
Then Screw Gumm also introduced the origin of the old man.
Calderon Chadwick, Genius Club #79, specializes in solid physics, applied theory of imaginary numbers and orbital mechanics, and even joined the club earlier than Black Tower.
[Since the fire of life was ignited in my core, I have rarely met souls that truly deserve the word genius in this long journey across the stars. ]
[Ms. Black Tower beside me is one of them - Calderon Chadwick is also one of them. ]
Screw Gumm gave Chadwick a very high personal evaluation, while Black Tower snorted beside him.
[Huh... and praised me by the wayFor a moment, thank you. 】
In his early years, ScrewGum had met the other party twice, once when he was young and energetic, and the second time was decades later. The two meetings were very different.
[Recall: Dr. Chadwick once asked me for help. He should have been around fifty years old at that time. 】
When ScrewGum agreed to the other party's request, Chadwick disappeared without a trace until now.
Logically, the other party was not an immortal species and should have died long ago, but somehow he survived to this day.
Anyway, after learning that the family had placed Chadwick under house arrest, ScrewGum decided to go to Pinoconi with Xing to check the situation.
Before leaving, ScrewGum said that there was one more thing that Xing needed to know.
[The most outstanding achievement of Calderon Chadwick's life was a weapon called the Imaginary Collapse Pulse - that weapon had taken away countless people's homes and lives. 】
The imaginary collapse pulse marked in yellow attracted the attention of the audience, making people wonder what exactly can be called the outstanding achievement of a genius in his lifetime.
When he arrived at the front desk of the Pinoconi Hotel, Screw Gum introduced himself.
[Please forgive me for coming uninvited and not checking in - you should be able to find my name on the family's permanent VIP list. 】
The simple phrase "permanent VIP" fully demonstrated the noble status of the king of the screw star.
After confirmation, Screw Gum expressed his desire to meet Chadwick.
Just as the front desk staff said they wanted to check, the hound family members who had blocked him before appeared on the side.
[There is no need for that. I'm sorry, both of you, Dr. Chadwick is not convenient to receive visitors. 】
At this moment, the hound Moira's attitude was still extremely tough, refusing anyone to approach Chadwick.
Seeing that the situation was tense, Screw Gum spoke to mediate.
But then, ScrewGum said that the last time he spoke to Chadwick was two Amber Ages ago, and questioned what means the family used to extend life and whether it was legal.
Faced with this question, Moira still chose to keep silent, indicating that there was no room for compromise.
And ScrewGum still spoke slowly.
[Understand, all your actions are out of loyalty to the family. ]
Then, I only heard a change of tone.
[So, can I think: In order to stick to your principles, you would rather push the entire family to the opposite side of ScrewStar? Can you bear the consequences of being an enemy of the Genius Club? ]
The voice was still so gentle, and people could not hear a trace of bad emotions.
However, the meaning of the words gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
