Cheng Cheng and the Cicada
Chapter 27 Blue-Eyed Girl! Time-Space Assassin! (Bonus Chapter for Votes!)
The girl, wearing black rubber gloves on her right hand, suddenly exerted force, tearing off the entire thick door of the Alpha!
Tearing it off whole, like tearing paper!
The heavy door, with its dark blue-green glass, detached from the car body and flew towards a nearby square pillar, making a deafening crash.
"Drive!"
Lin Xian shouted immediately.
Taking advantage of the girl's unsteady footing, he kicked her in the chest as she tried to step onto the running board!
Thud.
A muffled sound, like kicking a steel plate. Lin Xian was bounced back into the car by the reaction force, but the girl, not having had time to regain her balance, was forced back three steps by the kick.
Vroom----
The Alpha's rear wheels spun wildly, launching forward.
Xiao Li was indeed a well-trained driver.
He had received driving training in the army's driver squad under various extreme environments and emergencies.
A qualified driver must maintain high vigilance from the moment a passenger appears in sight until they are seated and the vehicle starts.
Later, after retiring from the military and joining a professional security company, instructors often told them during training:
"If we are to serve those big bosses and dignitaries in the future, we must never relax our vigilance; whether bodyguards or drivers, we must always be prepared to face danger!"
"Especially those big bosses, the bigger the boss, the more money they owe, and the more trouble they cause, and the more people they offend. It is inevitable that enemies will come looking for them."
"Therefore, as the boss's driver, there is no time to truly stop the car! Your right foot must always be on the accelerator, and your right hand must always be ready to shift gears! Once you encounter a sudden danger or enemies seeking revenge, step on the gas and drive the boss away immediately!"
Over the years, Xiao Li had always remembered the instructor's teachings.
Before the boss got into the car, from the moment he saw the boss, he had already engaged the forward gear, his right foot hovering over the accelerator, ready at any moment.
This had been his habit for a long time.
So, ever since Lin Xian came out of the elevator entrance, his eyes had never left Lin Xian, and after he got into the car and before the door closed, he kept observing the surroundings from the three rearview mirrors.
But even so!
The speed of the girl who suddenly appeared was too fast!
In the blink of an eye, before he could react, she rushed out from some corner, inserted her black-gloved hand directly into the car door.
Then, in the next second, the heavy door was torn off by her!
An army raised for a thousand days is used for an hour.
Xiao Li, who had been tensing his nerves since joining the army's driver squad, finally exploded at this moment!
Long before Lin Xian shouted the command to drive, his right foot had already floored the accelerator!
Vroom----
The Alpha was a business car, and its engine naturally could not compare with sports cars, but its 3.5-liter displacement and nearly 400 horsepower were already impressive.
With the floor-to-metal acceleration, the tires violently rubbed against the parking lot floor, creating an unpleasant burning smell. Immediately, the vehicle drifted to the left, heading straight for the parking lot exit.
"Drive faster!"
Lin Xian shouted from the back seat:
"Don't stop! Don't stop no matter what happens! Drive in the direction with the fewest cars!"
"Understood, President Lin!"
Xiao Li's heart rate, along with the Alpha's speed, increased sharply, rushing quickly towards the uphill exit of the parking lot.
Lin Xian stabilized himself in the back seat and looked back through the rear window.
Had they shaken her off?
No!
He saw the girl expressionless, her bright, crystal-blue eyes staring fiercely at them!
She bent over.
Took a step.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, a cannonball launched, she ran towards the Alpha business car at a speed beyond the limits of human physical ability.
Bang!
Another muffled sound came from the back of the car's trunk. The terrifying girl, wearing black rubber gloves, held tightly to the rear bumper with both hands.
Then.
With a nimble and petite body, she directly grabbed the rear windshield wiper, stuck close to the rear window, and stood up.
Lin Xian, seeing this scene, finally reacted to the sudden change just now and couldn't help but gasp.
What kind of monster was this?
What monster-level physical quality!
Terminator? Super Saiyan?
Although he had already seen this girl's extraordinary skills in Copenhagen... but at that time, he only considered her running speed to be fast and agile, but he never expected that she would be so strong! Enough to tear off a car door by hand!
Through the glass of the rear window.
Lin Xian could vaguely see the girl's expression and facial features.
She still had that icy, machine-like face, expressionless, with sharp and fierce eyes, staring intently into the car.
She moved again!
After stabilizing her body, the girl raised her right fist high and slammed it against the rear window.
Bang----
The double-layer tempered glass was actually shattered, cracked, and hammered into spiderweb-like glass by this teenage girl with two punches!
Fortunately, the current tempered glass was all laminated glass, and even if it shattered, it would not break into fragments, but would still be bonded together by the interlayer.
But.
This was not a long-term solution.
This blue-eyed girl, the space-time assassin... with her strength, the next step was to directly punch through the shattered tempered glass, then tear off the glass and climb in directly from the empty rear window.
"Xiao Li! Fishtail!"
Lin Xian shouted to the driver in front, holding onto the seat in the speeding car:
"Use the tail of the car to rub against the wall of the exit passage! Squeeze her off!"
"Received!"
Xiao Li's driving skills had also been tempered, especially in the army's driver squad, where he had received special training. He immediately understood Lin Xian's meaning.
Although this little girl looked young, she was ill-intentioned and extremely aggressive. It was obvious that she was here for revenge, even for murder.
Once this assassin entered the Alpha, Lin Xian would be trapped and have nowhere to escape. That was absolutely not allowed!
The Alpha business car had already entered the parking lot exit ramp, the route was a rotating arc, which could be used to squeeze the car's rear end against the curved wall, so that the rear shell would rub, squeeze, and collide with the wall, forcing the assassin to abandon the car.
Xiao Li quickly turned the steering wheel to the left, making the vehicle as close as possible to the left wall of the ramp.
Then!
Immediately turn the steering wheel to the right!
And cooperate with the handbrake and accelerator to make the rear tires spin, lose friction, and skid. The entire Alpha body directly crossed the passage! The rear of the car instantly collided with the wall, rubbing out a long string of hot yellow sparks.
Lin Xian in the car immediately felt a strong centrifugal force and hurriedly hugged the back seat to stabilize himself.
While overcoming the centrifugal force, he was also constantly enduring the pulling collision between the rear of the car and the wall.
He gritted his teeth.
Looking at the car glass behind, which had been cracked into a dense spider web.
Xiao Li's car sense was very good. The fishtail just now left no gap between the car's tail and the wall.
The space-time assassin either had to let go in time and roll off the car... or she would be squeezed into mincemeat like this.
Bang----
A collision sound came from the front.
Xiao Li drove directly out of the underground parking lot at full speed, without waiting for the gate to rise, directly hitting it hard, rushing out at high speed, and merging into the deserted road late at night.
Lin Xian had left Zhao Yingjun's home close to midnight in order to coax vv to sleep. At this time, Xiao Li was driving in the direction out of the city, and there was very little traffic.
Xiao Li's accelerator was stuck, he didn't dare to let go at all, speeding on the expressway:
"President Lin! Did that girl get shaken off?"
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the silent car behind, the hole in the tempered glass, and the deformed tail of the car:
"She should have been shaken off... No!"
He suddenly felt a chill sweeping through his body, mechanically raised his head, and looked at the transparent panoramic sunroof above the car—
A pair of pupils, vibrant like blue flames, were tightly pressed against the car roof glass.
Expressionless, staring intently into the car...
"She's on top!"
Damn it, this girl was really a monster, simply a born killer!
When they were fishtailing against the wall just now, this space-time assassin must have realized their intention, and directly jumped from the tail of the car to the roof, dodging the attack.
"Hold on tight, President Lin, I'll shake her off!"
Xiao Li gritted his teeth, his time to shine had come.
The Alpha car roof had no luggage rack, no place to grab, it was very smooth... as long as the vehicle was swayed from side to side, the little girl lying on the roof could definitely be shaken off!
Lin Xian quickly sat in the seat, pulled out the seat belt, and prepared to buckle it.
However—
Screech!
A crisp sound.
A half-foot-long steel-bladed dagger was inserted directly from the car roof!
Then there were several consecutive stabs, followed by a heavy punch, the tinplate on the roof instantly dented, and a terrifying black rubber glove directly reached in.
The space-time assassin had found a point of leverage, no matter how Xiao Li shook the car body, he could not shake her off.
But the girl was not idle.
The steel-bladed dagger, made of some unknown material, was extremely sharp, constantly stabbing down from the tinplate on the car roof, and it looked like the Alpha's roof was about to be poked into a hornet's nest!
This girl's thinking was extremely clear, she wanted to find a way to break into the car and then assassinate Lin Xian.
As long as she poked enough holes in the tinplate on the roof, with her arm strength and explosiveness, she could really punch and tear a hole in the roof and jump down!
Only a few tens of seconds had passed since this girl appeared... the situation had changed several times, and the girl had even started using weapons.
This also made Lin Xian overthrow his previous guess in confusion—
What was going on?
Didn't the \[Forced Evasion] space-time law work?
Wasn't she not allowed to kill him?
If she could kill him, why didn't she just kill him along with Huang Que by the sea in Copenhagen?
With that monster-like body speed and explosiveness, he would never have been able to dodge it at that time.
The morning after Huang Que's death, Lin Xian flew back to Donghai from Copenhagen, without wasting a moment. He hadn't even had his first sleep in Donghai yet.
But now it seemed that this space-time assassin hadn't wasted a moment either!
She might have even flown to Donghai a little earlier than him, so she could lie in wait for him so accurately.
This was clearly aimed at him.
Then what did the second question that Huang Que asked him to think about mean? What was the point?
If these space-time travelers could attack him in this space-time, not afraid of space-time elasticity, not afraid of space-time rejection, not afraid of forced evasion.
Then what was the meaning of the space-time law?
What was the meaning of Huang Que's deliberate suicide?
The situation was urgent, and Lin Xian didn't have time to figure it out, but in any case... he must not be caught by this space-time assassin!
The difference in strength was too great, and there was currently no chance of winning.
And the enemy was right above his head, ready to break in at any time. No one could help him, he had to save himself.
"Xiao Li, don't move the direction. Accelerate with all your strength! Increase the linear speed to the highest!"
Lin Xian gave Xiao Li the order, then immediately sat firmly in the seat and buckled his seat belt:
"Hurry!"
Xiao Li strictly executed the order, and the right foot on the accelerator never loosened for a moment. This dilapidated and scarred Alpha ran at full power, constantly soaring to top speed on the expressway.
120...
130...
140...
After all, the business car was a business car, and the acceleration was not as fast as a sports car, and as the speed increased, the speed of the speedometer needle moving to the right became slower and slower.
Bang!
Another muffled sound came from the roof of the back seat.
The black rubber glove punched in directly from the several knife marks. Those seemingly petite and cute little fists were like the scythe waved above the Grim Reaper's head at this moment.
"Brake! Step on it!"
Xiao Li immediately understood, knowing that Lin Xian wanted to use the emergency brake to throw the girl on top off.
Although this girl was ridiculously strong and had weapons.
But any object on Earth had to obey Newton's three laws of motion. At a speed of 140 kilometers, the girl assassin without any fixed measures would definitely fly out instantly due to inertia!
Xiao Li gritted his teeth and slammed on the brakes, wishing he could step the brakes directly into the engine compartment.
Chirp!!!!
The exploding brake discs rubbed out shooting sparks, and the huge braking inertia made Lin Xian experience an overload acceleration similar to that of a rocket launching, except that it was forward... The seat belt restraining his waist and abdomen instantly tightened, and the sudden pressure almost squeezed his internal organs out.
But the effect was also significant.
A black figure seemed to be carrying two points of blue trailing light, flying out from the car roof like a cannonball, swooshing across the windshield, rushing onto the asphalt road in front, and rolling on the ground for dozens of laps before stopping...
It was the space-time assassin.
Seeing the petite and scalp-numbing figure lying on the ground, Lin Xian knew it was her, it must be her!
The coast of Copenhagen.
The space-time assassin who stabbed Huang Que with a sharp knife, the girl assassin!
Black short hair, eyes as bright as light bulbs, these iconic features could not be matched by anyone else.
Thrown out at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour, hitting the ground, rolling on the ground for so long...
No normal person could stand up.
But...
"Hit her!"
Lin Xian ordered.
This space-time assassin's physical quality was beyond imagination. Normal people couldn't stand up, but that didn't mean she couldn't stand up.
Xiao Li resolutely executed the order, flooring the accelerator.
The riddled Alpha business car burned tires again, accelerating from zero to one hundred, and crashed towards the space-time assassin who had fallen to the ground!
As Lin Xian expected.
The girl assassin stood up again abruptly!
Blood was flowing from her beautiful face... but she still had no expression, as if that was not her face... but just wearing a mask made of human skin.
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect... Lin Xian felt that the ghostly blue light in the girl's eyes seemed to be several times brighter! Becoming even more terrifying and heartbreaking!
Vroom----
The roaring Alpha business car crashed straight towards the girl, without deviation. At this speed, the girl who had just stood up could not dodge it no matter what.
The distance was rapidly closing.
Lin Xian looked ahead, meeting the girl's bright blue ghostly pupils, as deep as if they were about to swallow the entire Alpha business car.
"Hit her!!!" Xiao Li roared with dissatisfaction and anger, his blue veins bulging, gripping the steering wheel and aiming at the girl—
Swoosh!
At the moment when she was about to hit the girl, the girl was quick-witted and quick-footed, directly jumping to the side and passing by the Alpha business car.
But it was not over yet.
She hooked back with her hand, grabbing the rearview mirror tightly, then took a few staggering steps, and jumped hard! She leaped directly onto the car's hood, squatting in front of the windshield, blocking Xiao Li and Lin Xian's vision.
"L... President Lin!"
Xiao Li's mentality was a little broken. Even with many years of military career, he had never encountered such a difficult opponent, she was simply like Superman!
Lin Xian couldn't help clenching his fists...
He stared at the pair of blue pupils in front of the windshield... the ones that killed Huang Que.
Too strong.
Strong to the point of despair.
The despair not only came from her exaggerated physical strength and fighting ability.
But also, what was going on with the space-time law he had comprehended?
Her eyes were so blue, she was definitely a space-time traveler, why could she attack him?
If she could really attack him.
Then why didn't she just attack in Copenhagen? Why did she have to come back to Donghai?
He felt that there must be some secret, some inside story... but he couldn't figure it out!
Bang!
The expressionless, cold doll-faced girl, held the lower edge of the hood with her left hand, and then waved her right fist with great force! Heavily smashing on the windshield.
Only two small cracks.
Bang!
Another punch!
Spiderweb-like radial cracks appeared.
Bang!!
Another blow, even heavier than before.
The center of the glass cracks turned white, the glass was completely shattered! Broken into small pieces, all relying on the interlayer in the middle to stick together without falling off—
Bang!!!
The laminated glass was completely broken through, the black rubber glove showed the power of heaven and earth, and the petite fist hung above Xiao Li's forehead! Making him feel as if he was facing a cannon!
"Brake!"
Lin Xian's shout pulled Xiao Li back to his senses, and he quickly slammed on the brakes, repeating the old trick.
Chirp----
It was the sound of exploding brake discs rubbing again, Lin Xian clearly saw the sparks rising from the brake discs from outside the door frame on the right, and the pungent smell of burning rubber instantly filled the car.
Physical inertia was absolute.
The clenched black glove, along with its owner, flew out again like a cannonball... again landing more than ten meters away, rolling more than ten laps before hitting the guardrail and stopping.
Xiao Li was about to breathe a sigh of relief...
"Don't stop."
Lin Xian immediately reached out and pointed to the right:
"Drive to the right, faster! While she hasn't gotten up, let's go quickly, to Jiaxing!"
Vroom----
The Alpha business car burned tires again, suddenly turning to the right and speeding away, quickly disappearing into the night...
Next to the road guardrail.
The girl staggered to her feet.
She leaned on the nearby guardrail to stand up, blinked her eyes.
The blue halo in her pupils seemed to flicker slightly, but it was fleeting.
After blinking again, the ghostly blue light as bright as a spotlight returned to its original state, staring intently at the place where the Alpha business car disappeared, like an owl locking onto its prey...
She wiped the blood on her face.
……
On the suburban expressway leading to Jiaxing, Xiao Li was driving the vehicle as fast as possible.
The big holes and cracks in the windshield greatly affected his vision, but he knew that in the current unknown situation, any deceleration was irresponsible for the life of the boss behind him.
Therefore.
He could only drive as fast as possible while ensuring safety.
Lin Xian in the seat behind was silent.
He used his mobile phone, with his identity information, to buy all the flights that could be bought at the surrounding airports.
Zhoushan, Xiaoshan, Nanjing, Changzhou, Nantong, Wuxi, Pudong, Hongqiao...
He bought all the flights that could be bought.
Domestic and foreign.
Lin Xian naturally didn't care about this little money. To confuse the enemy, you must first confuse yourself.
He didn't know where he was going now, where he should go, or where he would be safe.
Or maybe he wouldn't go anywhere.
But in the current panic and at a loss, first assume that the enemy had the ability to track his itinerary, and no matter whether it was useful or not, he would first lay down a smokescreen.
"Phew..."
After completing this series of orders, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to recall what had happened just now.
There was no doubt.
That girl assassin, the space-time assassin, after killing Huang Que in Copenhagen, now... her target was on him again.
"But, the space-time law, forced evasion, should be correct?"
Lin Xian scratched his head.
He still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
He closed his eyes.
Think carefully,
Think carefully,
Think carefully...
Lin Xian frowned, and began to brainstorm, thinking about all the possibilities.
\[Killed Huang Que in Copenhagen, but didn't kill me.]
\[Lying in wait here as soon as I returned to Donghai.]
\[The space-time assassin came from the future, her body has been strengthened, she should be from at least hundreds of years in the future, even more distant and more future than the era Huang Que traveled from.]
\[Why kill me? It must be because she has a grudge against me, or there is some special need to eliminate me.]
\[The space-time law should be absolute, it is fixed, and no one can override the space-time law, Huang Que can't, and the space-time assassin can't.]
Whoosh.
Lin Xian opened his eyes.
He recalled...
When he felt he was at the end of his rope, he wanted to stir up the stagnant water of reality, seek ideas and find clues in the chaos.
Therefore, he made a harsh remark to that mysterious old man in the fourth dream:
"Come and kill me, Kevin Walker, you know where I am."
"If you don't come to kill me... then I will kill you!"
Could it be.
Was it related to this matter?
Because he made harsh remarks, the mysterious old man sent a space-time traveler to kill him?
This didn't make sense either.
If that was the case, he only needed to kill him. Was it necessary to kill even Huang Que?
What's more.
It was still the same old question.
\[The space-time law is absolute!]
\[Space-time travelers cannot change history by killing people in this space-time. This will definitely trigger the forced evasion law, making them unable to move, become transparent, or even be directly erased!]
"Eh?"
Lin Xian blinked his eyes and suddenly noticed something was wrong...
What was the judging principle of forced evasion?
From what time and to what extent did forced evasion begin?
Lin Xian recalled that when Huang Que demonstrated forced evasion to him when returning from the spaceplane... she had been trying to tell him the meaning of Millennium Pile, but she couldn't say it.
And it wasn't completely unspeakable.
It stopped abruptly when she said the first half of "Millennium Pile is—". This showed that the space-time law would only appear in time to prevent the last moment when it affected the established history and affected future development.
Which meant...
To sum up.
In the \[thinking] stage, the forced evasion principle would not be triggered, because thinking did not mean doing.
In the \[saying] stage, forced evasion would only be triggered when the key sentence was about to be spoken.
Then, consider \[doing]?
If we think according to the logic of "being muted halfway, being silenced at a critical moment", then for the behavior of killing oneself, it should be "being forced to evade halfway through the process, when the knife is about to kill oneself".
"Is that so?"
Lin Xian pondered.
Did that girl assassin want to kill him today?
Maybe she wanted to.
But did she kill him?
No.
Did she actually kill him, attempt to kill him?
It didn't seem like it either.
That girl's output was all directed at the Alpha business car. It was true that she poked holes in the car, but she actually didn't hurt him at all.
Lin Xian had a whim:
"\[Could it be that the space-time assassin's purpose is not to kill me, but to catch me... or control me, and send me somewhere?]"
"It is also because if I am caught in Copenhagen, I still need to be transferred and escorted out of the country. But when passing through customs or traveling on the road, I will inevitably have opportunities to ask for help and escape, so she waited until I returned to Donghai before taking action?"
This was the only explanation Lin Xian could think of.
Killing him would definitely exceed the scope of space-time elasticity.
But controlling him, catching him, and sending him to a place, this behavior alone might not affect space-time elasticity.
After all...
Huang Que had also done the same thing.
She once lied to him, this behavior was within the scope of space-time elasticity;
She guided him to investigate the Genius Club, guided him to catch space-time particles, this was also within the scope of space-time elasticity;
She took him to the Imperial City, to Jiuquan, to the spaceplane in space, these behaviors that controlled his actions were also within the scope of space-time elasticity.
Therefore.
In comparison.
If that space-time assassin didn't want to kill him, had no intention of killing him, but just wanted to forcibly control him, escort him to a place, in front of someone... it seemed to be within the scope of space-time elasticity! And would not be subject to space-time rejection and forced evasion!
"Ah..."
Lin Xian lay back in the seat, rubbing his aching temples.
Sometimes this space-time elasticity was very small, and you couldn't even know the concept of Millennium Pile;
Sometimes, it was very large, and it allowed enemies to catch you without killing you;
Was there any loophole in this?
But then, Lin Xian understood.
In the face of the rolling wheels of history... perhaps the life and death of individuals really had no weight.
Far less than knowledge, far less than technology, far less than intelligence, even far less than a space-time concept and space-time law.
So far, his dream has undergone four major changes beyond elasticity.
However.
No dream change was caused by the death or rescue of someone.
"In the torrential flood of the long river of history, the thing that can't stir up the water and can't change the direction of the river... is people."
Lin Xian inexplicably thought of this sentence.
How much weight do people have in history?
To this day, whether heroes make history or history makes heroes is still inconclusive.
This was the debate between the idealist view of history and the materialist view of history.
However...
From the scope of human history, looking at the time scale.
It seemed that the influence of individual heroes on history was not that great.
When the wheels of history rolled to a position, there would inevitably be one person, several people, a group of people who would appear to push the wheels of history forward.
Without one or two key figures, perhaps this process would be decades later.
But the forward roll of the wheels of history was an inevitable trend, without Zhang San to push, there would be Li San and Wang San.
"Is it because of this reason?"
Currently, Lin Xian was not sure.
But the current crisis could not be solved by figuring out this question.
The answer to this question could also be considered after the crisis was resolved or after he eliminated this space-time assassin.
"Then, who sent this space-time assassin to kill Huang Que, to kill me?"
This was the most urgent question that needed to be clarified now.
It was also the key to breaking the situation.
Gradually.
Lin Xian thought of the biggest possibility—
\[Jask].
This guess mainly stemmed from the fact that Jask killed vv.
At first, Lin Xian only set Jask as half of a imaginary enemy, because the other party did not have any direct conflict with him, and also used a rocket to save him from Kevin Walker's attack.
But now, summarizing some known clues together...
It seemed.
There were many doubts about Jask:
1. The method of killing vv should be as he guessed, it must be from the future, just like the space-time assassin, only the technology of the future can kill vv, which is ahead of the era. Jask was obviously not a space-time traveler, so who gave him the future technology? If... it was this space-time assassin?
2. Lin Xian didn't understand before, why Jask wanted to kill vv, because the space-time particles still fell into his hands in the end, Lin Xian couldn't guess his purpose in killing vv. But... now it seems that if vv was still alive, the space-time assassin would not be able to kill Huang Que, and would not be able to sneak attack him like today, she would have been discovered by vv long ago.
3. If Jask wanted to help him from the beginning, why hasn't he contacted him at all since the capture of the space-time particles was successful? Since he came to him specially at the scientific charity gala before, and indicated his identity as a member of the Genius Club, and said "see you in the sky"... then why doesn't he appear at all now? There is no follow-up at all?
It was also because of the third concern.
When thinking in Liu Feng's laboratory that day, Lin Xian decided to take the initiative to find Jask.
He could pretend not to know that Jask killed vv.
After all, according to the normal development of things, he would not know that Jask killed vv, but would regard Jask as a friend, comrade, and a reliable partner.
If this was Jask's purpose, then he might as well "pretend to be hooked" "enter the game himself" "actively approach Jask" to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
But now...
Because of the appearance of this space-time assassin girl, Lin Xian changed his mind again.
He had to raise Jask's level as an imaginary enemy, to the same level as Kevin Walker.
If all his reasoning was correct.
He was now facing two powerful enemies:
The mysterious old man and Kevin Walker's faction.
And.
Jask and the space-time assassin's faction.
"They have all come to my house..."
Lin Xian cursed in a low voice:
"I must take the initiative to attack."
In any case, Donghai City was no longer a place to stay.
Although he didn't know why.
\[But that space-time assassin seems to only attack me in Donghai City. Relatively speaking, Copenhagen and foreign countries are safe.]
He didn't know what the principle and the reason were. But reasoning from the facts, foreign countries seemed to be safer than Donghai... He really couldn't figure out what special reason Donghai had.
But then again.
Copenhagen had confirmed that he was very safe, and the space-time assassin would not attack there. But... he couldn't always hide in Copenhagen, could he?
Now he was not only racing against the space-time assassin, but also racing against time.
He had to find a way to approach Jask, or Kevin Walker... In short, he had to find a breakthrough from one of them.
Compared to Kevin Walker, who was hiding in the dark without any clues, the open Jask was obviously easier to approach and investigate.
"World's richest man, Martian immigrant dreamer, Starlink creator, Twitter owner..."
Lin Xian silently recited Jask's identity titles:
"Tesla president, starship rocket launcher, space travel ticket seller, playboy..."
Lin Xian stopped.
"Playboy."
This world's richest man's private life was very wonderful, involving female singers, female stars, and Hollywood actresses, and he was the world's top playboy.
"Hollywood actress..."
Lin Xian thought of an old friend again.
She stopped him in the parking lot of the Donghai City Commendation Conference;
She sent him the key to Einstein's former residence in the Alpha business car;
She got out of the car in front of the Peninsula Hotel and turned back:
"If one day, you really plan to come to Princeton..."
She made a number six gesture with her left hand, put it on her cheek, raised her eyebrows at him and smiled, her red lips moved slightly:
"Call me."
……
Lin Xian straightened up from the seat.
Through the riddled car roof, looking at the dark night that was already early in the morning, looking at the stars on the top of the sky.
Angelica.
The last of the seven deadly sins, lust.
Her foster father Ji Xinshui and her younger brother Ji Lin were both dead... but she was more rational, knowing that there was something else hidden in the death of these two people, which must be related to the Genius Club, so she did not blame him.
Therefore, she asked him again and again when she came to Longguo to find him that time:
"Tell me the truth about Ji Lin's death, tell me what the Genius Club is."
She also asked him:
"If one day, you really find the Genius Club, and find the murderer who killed Ji Lin's parents, will you help Ji Lin take revenge?"
Of course.
He didn't answer her two questions.
He could see that Angelica really wanted to avenge Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin.
But that was their business, and it had nothing to do with him. He wouldn't tell her the valuable intelligence at that time; what's more... that was his trump card, how could he easily tell it?
But Angelica finally did not give up.
She wrote the phone number on a business card with an eyebrow pencil, and handed it to him.
Perhaps, she had been waiting for his call, waiting for the opportunity to avenge Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin.
Lin Xian opened his phone and clicked on the album.
There was a photo in it, which was the business card with Angelica's phone number written on it.
Lin Xian had always had a good habit, even if he thought something was useless and wanted to throw it away, he would always take a photo with his mobile phone camera and keep it. If he really needed it, he could find it; if he didn't need it, it would only take up a little mobile phone storage space, and there was no harm.
It seemed.
