Chapter 968: Chapter 50 Hunting Begins (Monthly ticket extra!)
 

Lin Xian gazed at the laminated photo in his hand.

It really was…

Absolutely authentic.

Despite spanning 600 years through time, the black ink on it seemed as if it hadn’t yet dried.

These tiny and slightly skewed Chinese characters felt to Lin Xian as if they were written just two hours ago by Yan Qiaoqiao right in front of him.

She had pulled the photo out of its frame.

Picking up the black marker from the coffee table, she wrote down her name, proudly telling Lin Xian,

“Once I write my name on it, it becomes my property and no one else can take it.”

But in the blink of an eye,

this photo had traveled 600 years to the Sixth Dreamland of 2624, lying in a storage locker of the Blue-Eyed Girl where there should have been nothing.

This was a minor temporal flux, it did not trigger any significant Space-Time Butterfly Effect, and the change in the curvature of space-time was far less than 0.0000042.

Therefore,

the temporal flux caused by this photo hadn’t exceeded the Space-Time Elasticity, naturally, it also hadn’t triggered a leap in the world lines, it caused no changes in the Dream World, nor was it reflected in the readings of Liu Feng’s Space-Time Clock.

Yet this [family portrait] was clearly Yan Qiaoqiao’s possession, a possession she treasured and cherished deeply. Lin Xian believed that Yan Qiaoqiao would definitely not just discard this photo carelessly.

Now, since this photo appeared in the storage locker of the Hibernation Pod,

could it be conclusive evidence…

that the girl in the Hibernation Pod was Yan Qiaoqiao (Lin Yuxi)?

“Hey you, don’t take it away! What will we look at if you do?”

Big Face Cat and Gao Wen saw Lin Xian standing there lost in thought, showing no intention of putting the photo back, so they moved closer to him, one on each side, gazing intently at the photo.

“Brother, that’s definitely you! It’s exactly like you!”

Big Face Cat pointed at the handsome King with a crown in the photo:

“Who exactly is this girl in the hibernation pod to you? I just compared her, and this girl in the pod doesn’t look a bit like the little girl in the photo, whether it’s her facial features, face shape, figure, temperament… and so on, none of it matches.”

“At first, I thought it was just because women change a lot as they grow up, but now looking closely, even with many changes, it shouldn’t be this random, right? You unlucky guy… aren’t you observant? Compare them yourself.”

The astutely observant Gao Wen looked at the photo, then at the girl in the Hibernation Pod who was gazing out with her eyes open, and shook his head too:

“No, indeed they don’t look alike, not a single similarity.”

“And these three people in the photo, they obviously look like a family of three… Look at this daughter, she looks almost identical to her mother. And with the father… Umm… Ahem… Ah, I found it!”

Gao Wen, as if relieved, quickly pointed at the forehead of the little girl in the photo, breaking into a slight smile:

“This little girl really inherits well, all her good looks are from her mother. If there’s any similarity to her father, I feel it’s only in the forehead, eyes, and chin area.”

Hmm?

This was a new perspective.

Lin Xian had already seen that Yan Qiaoqiao looked a lot like Zhao Yingjun.

Considering they were mother and daughter, looking alike was normal; but still, Yan Qiaoqiao had blood relation to him too, yet Lin Xian couldn’t find any resemblances after several attempts.

At least from appearances, it was hard to tell.

Gao Wen mentioned this, explicitly pointing it out, Lin Xian overlaid his imagined features with those of Yan Qiaoqiao’s.

It seemed…

Indeed, there was a bit of a resemblance!

“But…”

Gao Wen changed his tune and turned his head back to the Hibernation Pod:

“But these two women in the photo, they both don’t look like the girl in the Hibernation Pod at all, why would she keep someone else’s photo?”

Boom!!!!

Just as Gao Wen wondered, the tempered glass of the Hibernation Pod behind them was completely kicked down, flying into the air.

Big Face Cat and Gao Wen immediately turned pale and screamed.

Lin Xian, knowing the glass would land far away, stood unflinchingly still amid the crisis.

With the loud noise caused by the tempered glass hitting the ground,

the swearing Supervisor, though late, rushed over cracking his whip.

What followed…

Whish!

A familiar head flew into the sky, a fountain of blood, Lin Xian felt as if he was witnessing his own tragic scene from July 7, 2024.

The girl holding a blood-dripping Hafnium Alloy nameplate walked up to Lin Xian:

“Where is this?”

“Bobcat Tribe, Deep Pit Excavation Site,” Lin Xian calmly replied.

The Blue-Eyed Girl’s bright eyes fixed on Lin Xian:

“Then who am I?”

Lin Xian picked up the laminated photo, showing its back to the Blue-Eyed Girl:

“This is your name, do you remember it?”

The Blue-Eyed Girl shook her head.

Lin Xian flipped the photo, presenting the Fairy Tale Kingdom-style family portrait right in front of the Blue-Eyed Girl:

“Do you remember these three people on this photo?”

Lin Xian was hopeful with this attempt, keenly observing the Blue-Eyed Girl’s reaction.

Previously, Zheng Xiangyue had broken into tears instantly after seeing the drawing of the Rhein Cat, even though she remembered nothing, her emotional connection with the Rhein Cat transcended memory, miraculously preserved through hundreds of years.

Lin Xian didn’t understand the principle…

But,

if the Blue-Eyed Girl really was Yan Qiaoqiao, faced with such a treasured photo… even if all memories were lost, shouldn’t some emotions remain?
