Xing shook her head firmly, her eyes sharp: "Don't worry, this problem has been solved."

Chadwick showed a hint of doubt on his face, but still asked hesitantly: "You mean..."

"I might... I probably don't need to know the details. I've heard some stories about the Nameless Guest, and I guess you must be as powerful as those people in the rumors." Chadwick sighed softly and said slowly.

Xing took a deep breath and answered with a firm and serious look in his eyes: "I am here to help you, Dr. Chadwick."

Chadwick frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall something. After a moment, he thought and said, "Help me...ah, I vaguely remember this matter. I must admit...I didn't hold out much hope. That's too much of a luxury for me."

Xing asked softly, "Remember Screw Gum?"

"Screw-gum... screw-gum..." As if struck by lightning, Chadwick's pupils suddenly doubled in size - and then quickly shrank. The gray mist covering the whites of his eyes began to dissipate, and everything in his expression became clear.

He grasped Xing's hand anxiously, his voice was urgent: "Screw Gumm...where is he? He promised me...he said he would help..."

However, when he saw Xing's complicated expression, Chadwick's movements suddenly froze, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself:

"No... that's not right. He did fulfill his promise and he didn't betray my trust. I was the one who disappeared... My ears and mouth were blocked and my eyes were blindfolded..."

He frowned tightly, as if trying hard to recall more things, but his memories were like broken puzzles, difficult to piece together.

"Why? Everything is so chaotic and disordered. I am a member of the "Genius Club", I remember that...but what did I do? What did I forget? Who bound me to this illusion..."

Xing took out the bottle of pills from her backpack, and Chadwick took it hesitantly, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement:

"This is... a pill? I see... this is what he came up with, right?"

[Silver Wolf: This is your last chance. After this, you will have no chance to turn back. If you choose the blue pill, the story ends here. You will continue to live your life in this dream and continue to believe in everything you want to believe.]

[Ahaha: If you take the red pill...hehe, then you can experience true pleasure! ]

[Walter: Uh... I feel like this sounds a little familiar]

Chadwick said: "Right now, it's like the entire universe is in my chest. I can see its every flicker and feel its every leap - but in fact, I know nothing about it." Chadwick's voice became low and hoarse, as if telling of the confusion and bewilderment deep in his heart.

"But just now, when you took out the medicine bottle, a voice came from the far corner of the universe. That voice...it tried to convince me to believe in Screwgum and you."

A smile appeared on Chadwick's face. It was the first time that Xing saw genuine joy on his face.

"Who am I to be picky now? Give it to me, child."

Chadwick smiled at Xing, a determined gleam in his eyes.

........

The scene flashes to Star activating the clock trick and entering Chadwick's memory.

In front of her was a huge corridor of the space station. In the transparent curtain wall in the distance, she could see the bright stars of the universe. Xing ran forward along the corridor. Not far ahead, a group of people gathered. She ran over and the crowd automatically parted to form a path. There stood the young Calderon Chadwick.

[Black Swan: The purpose of the clock trick... can it actually enter memory? ]

[Black Swan: It seems that Little Gray Hair can also try to become a Rememberer. ]

[Xing: No, it seems like the idea of ​​shedding my physical body is not suitable for me.]

Several amber ages had passed, but Xing could still see the worry in Chadwick's expression at a glance.

Chadwick asked, "Is this it?"

The man in corporate uniform nodded, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation. "That's right, Dr. Chadwick. Starting from here, we - the Technology R&D Department and your team - will work together to create the future of the galaxy."

Chadwick shook his head, a trace of helplessness on his face: "Don't be so sure, Dudley. I can't say I'm 100% sure about this project."

Dudley smiled and patted Chadwick's shoulder, comforting him: "Hahaha... Don't worry, we don't need a 100% success rate - we need you to be on our team."

[Su Chang: If we don’t need a 100% success rate, then what’s the point of the company inviting Chadwick? ]

[Esther: Fame, reputation, and the chance to work with geniuses are enough to attract countless scientists, just like the Black Tower Space Station.]

[Jizi: That’s right, a project led by a genius, what an attractive promotion. ]

[March 7: Oh... so Professor Chadwick was already a member of the Genius Club before he came up with that pulse?]

【Star: It’s obvious】

Chadwick was silent for a moment and then said, "To be honest, Du... I am a little worried. What you want, the kind of "weapon" that only exists in theoretical conception... it really has the potential to subvert the galaxy."

Dudley nodded heavily. "...Of course, Cha. Don't underestimate the Technology R&D Department. We may not have your genius brain, but we definitely have foresight."

"The Amber King just swung his hammer, announcing the beginning of a new century, and also indicating that the legendary cosmic catastrophe is getting closer..."

Chadwick interrupted, "You don't have to tell me about this. I've read A Brief History of the Starry Sky... but I never expected that you would be a supporter of the 'disaster theory'."

"Hahaha, that's not necessarily the case. I support the theory that it has greater commercial potential, that's all."

Chadwick sighed helplessly: "...like something you can say."

Dudley looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. He cleared his throat and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Ahem, but you can't deny that since the spread of the "Cancer of All Worlds", the activities of the Legion and the Annihilation Gang have become more active. Our job here is to prepare to fight against those threats."

He paused, and continued, "--I don't want to say anything like "our cause is just"... I know you're not that naive, Cha. I just think that sometimes people can think of things more simply... Then life will be much easier."

Chadwick listened to Dudley's words and fell into deep thought. After a while, he shook his head gently and said firmly: "I don't want to stay here with you all day. Let's go down."
