This sketch on the desk...

Lin Xian started to draw it as if it were a photograph, using all the skills he had mastered.

He was clear in his mind.

In the Fourth Dreamland, as soon as one entered the dream, they’d be surrounded by dozens of soldiers, stunned by electric shock, a completely unsolvable dead end.

A thorough dead end.

And the only hope to break through...

...

Was all invested in this sketch.

This time.

It was up to his 2023 self to save his self from the year 2624!

...

“Whew...”

Lin Xian let out a breath, blowing away the eraser dust on the paper.

The sun outside the window had already risen.

Having stayed up all night, the sketch was finally completed.

He propped up the paper.

Looking at the drawn old man with bulging eye sockets, sparse eyebrows, hollow cheeks, and narrow yet excitedly smiling eyes before him.

Indeed, it was somewhat unsettling.

“You draw really well.”

From the laptop beside him, VV’s voice spoke out; through the laptop’s camera, it saw the drawing in Lin Xian’s hand:

“It’s as good as the photo, Lin Xian, you truly have a gift for drawing.”

“Can we use this drawing for facial recognition?” Lin Xian turned to the laptop:

“Let’s give it a try, see if you can find matching face information for this old man from the facial data you’ve collected so far.”

“Pay special attention, don’t just compare it with the elderly community, use AI technology to generate his appearance at every stage of life, from infancy to youth, adulthood, and old age, ideally down to how he looked at every year, and then compare them all.”

“I’m not sure what age this old man is in 2023, so it’s better to err on the side of caution.

Let’s start comparing from baby’s birth photos all the way to old age, and don’t miss a single one.”

“Understood.”

The volume of the laptop decreased, the stereophonic sensation stretched further away, as if the dramatic VV was simulating a departing scene:

“It’ll probably take some time, you should sleep now.

I’ll use China’s supercomputer and the Skynet System.”

Immediately.

To say that not a single photo can be found on the whole internet, Lin Xian only knows of two people—

The Kevin Walker of 2023.

The elderly Zhao Yingjun from the Third Dreamland of 2624.

Zhao Yingjun was able to completely erase all her old age photos without a trace because she had VV, a super AI.

So in 2023, who else has such ability?

Only the strongest hacker on the planet, Kevin Walker.

Therefore.

Lin Xian deduced.

If in 2023, that mysterious old man has indeed been born and is at a certain age...

there’s a high probability that he is Kevin Walker.

Of course.

To make a definitive determination, it’s still necessary to wait for VV to collect global facial recognition data in Mi Country.

“I understand.”

Lin Xian stepped down from the bed, put on slippers, and drew back the curtains.

Whoosh—

The curtains flung wide open.

Dazzling sunlight slanted in.

The air was filled with the Tyndall effect, and the sunlight became tangible amidst the floating dust.

Lin Xian squinted at the high sun:

“Let’s...

go to Mi Country!”

He picked up his phone.

And dialed the number of Dean Gao Yan of the China Science Academy.

For issues in the Eastern Sea, one should find Chu Shanhe; the local dragon doesn’t oppress the local snake, and Chu Shanhe is more useful than anyone else.

But at the national level, Dean Gao had more influence.

The call was quickly answered.

Dean Gao was very cheerful, laughing heartily:

“Lin Xian, you’re back in the Eastern Sea, aren’t you?

Have you rested well?”

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xian got straight to the point:

“Dean Gao, I’d like to ask you to introduce me to someone...”

“Do you know anyone at the National Security Bureau?”
