Chapter 1456: Chapter 14: Fireworks
“It’s over.”
Big Face Cat looked at Lin Xian with regret:
“It’s over, another one has gone mad.”
“Huh?”
He suddenly paused and scratched his head:
“Why did I… say ’another’?”
By the door.
Liu Feng and Chen Heping were dumbfounded, staring at the handwritten 42s filling the entire space, unable to move.
The visual impact was truly overwhelming.
The once white floor, walls, ceiling…
Were now completely covered with countless numbers 42, ink filling every corner, turning the entire underground laboratory black!
“This is…”
Liu Feng’s heartbeat quickened, his breathing became rapid.
With trembling arms, he steered his wheelchair to the wall, getting closer and closer to examine the black swarm-like markings.
Unimaginable.
In such a large space, with so many dense numbers, how much time and patience it must have taken to write it all.
Various sizes of 42, crisscrossed, crooked, yet not a single one overlapped even a bit.
This indicates.
All the numbers 42 weren’t just randomly written.
Seemingly chaotic, but actually with a certain pattern, holding special meaning!
But…
What does this mean?
What does it represent?
Chen Heping looked around the surroundings, equally shocked.
He couldn’t understand this strange act.
But felt like something had been caught, like something had rushed into his mind, making him feel he was just a step away from the deeper secrets of the universe.
“Hey, suit yourselves, I’ve left the food here for you.”
Big Face Cat retreated to the door, pushing in a food cart.
Then he took out a meal delivery schedule, ticking the box for “August 28, 2624 – Lunch”, and closed the pen cap:
“Hey buddy, do I need to bring dinner for you tonight? Should I stop serving you from now on?”
“Yeah.”
Lin Xian nodded.
Supporting himself on the floor with his arms, he slowly stood up:
“Not anymore.”
Their conversation brought Liu Feng back to his senses.
He turned his wheelchair again, looking worriedly at Lin Xian whom he hadn’t seen for two years.
After a moment of silence, Liu Feng pursed his lips and asked the question he was most concerned about:
“Lin Xian, today is already August 28, 2624, and we really couldn’t wait any longer, that’s why we’ve come to disturb you, tonight…”
“Don’t worry.”
Lin Xian gently walked over, patting Liu Feng’s shoulder:
“Leave it to me.”
With that, he walked straight towards the door.
Dazzling sunlight streamed in, casting a straight beam on the floor, as if welcoming Lin Xian back to the world like a divine ascent.
“Huh?”
Lin Xian left just like that, taking Liu Feng and Chen Heping by surprise.
“Lin Xian, where… where are you going?”
Liu Feng asked anxiously.
“I’m heading to Tem Bank.”
Lin Xian had already stepped out of the underground laboratory, bathing in endless sunlight, and spoke as he raised his head:
“I also need you to call Tem Bank and tell everyone to take the day off and go on a long vacation… Remember, don’t leave anyone there, and don’t lock the main and warehouse doors.”
“Oh, alright.”
Liu Feng couldn’t understand, but he agreed directly.
After saying that, Lin Xian left, disappearing at the turn of the road behind the mountain.
“Wait, that’s not right!”
At this moment, Liu Feng suddenly realized:
“How did Lin Xian know about Tem Bank?”
The more he thought, the more it felt off, he looked at Big Face Cat:
“Those hafnium alloy safes were discovered a few months ago, and it was my idea to have Lee Cheng re-establish a Tem Bank… But I didn’t tell Lin Xian any of this, how did he know?”
“Big Face, did you chat with Lin Xian about Tem Bank when delivering meals?”
“How could that be!”
Big Face Cat waved his hand:
“I delivered meals for two years, always putting them through the window, never saw him once.”
“If he hadn’t cleaned his plate every day, I’d have thought he was dead in there! I never had a chance to talk to him.”
In an instant.
The entire underground laboratory turned cold.
The three of them seemed to realize something all of a sudden, collectively turning to stare in the direction Lin Xian had left… without speaking for a long time.
…
August 29, 2624, 00:00.
The dim streetlights flickered on and off, the entire street was deserted, no open shops, no sounds at all.
CC, dressed in a black tight suit, checked her watch:
“It’s time to move.”
Click.
She cocked her gun and tucked it in her waistband; then she cocked another small gun, tucked it in her hair, and secured it with a red headband, tying her hair up high.
Finally, after years of concern and half a year of travel to the East Sea in China, and days of plotting…
The operation was about to begin.
Tem Bank, a very new bank, established not long ago.
By rights, when she met VV in Brooklyn 8 years ago, this bank shouldn’t have even been established.
But why did VV speak so affirmatively?
If she really had come to China as a child, there wouldn’t even have been a Tem Bank here…
She couldn’t make sense of it.
Moreover, what was even more surprising.
She had investigated in recent days, this bank’s operations were strange, or rather had no actual business; the warehouse stored only hafnium alloy safes, not a cent.
However…
None of these matters anymore.
All mysteries would be answered tonight.
CC made final adjustments to her code-breaking tools, crouched low against the wall, and scurried across the street towards Tem Bank.
“Huh?”
Midway, she stopped abruptly, eyes widened in disbelief.
How could it be.
The doors of Tem Bank were wide open! Lights on brightly!
