Chapter 1 Angelica

Angelica looked left at Lin Xian, then right at Jask.

Seeing Lin Xian slowly stand up from the ground, unharmed, she finally felt relieved.

Then, along with Jask, she picked up a few small stones from the nearby pile of rocks and threw them all into the small refrigerator.

The small refrigerator was now wide open, its sealed door facing up, filled with stones, gravel, and miscellaneous construction debris.

As Lin Xian brushed the dirt off himself and walked to the small refrigerator, Jask and Angelica finished their work, standing beside it with their hands on their hips.

The three of them looked down at the small refrigerator, filled with debris, completely burying the spacetime particles.

Lin Xian looked at Jask:

"You have two spacetime particles?"

"No."

Jask patted the dust off his hands and shook his head:

"I'm very happy, this should be the last time I explain this question. It's not two spacetime particles, it's one! It’s one!"

"Although visually it looks like two spacetime particles, it's similar to the concept of quantum entanglement. They are already entangled together and cannot be separated. They must be used together or they will fail together. So, understand? There is one! Spacetime particle!"

Then, he turned his head, looking at the window through which the blue-eyed girl had escaped.

That factory window was at least seven or eight meters above the ground, an incredibly exaggerated display of physical ability and strength:

"But since that blue-eyed girl ran so fast and without hesitation, I must have guessed the answer correctly. Otherwise, why would she need to run? She could have just killed us, right? Anyway, she isn't restricted by the laws of spacetime."

Lin Xian also turned his head.

Looking at the window through which the spacetime assassin had escaped.

With that much time having passed, who knew how far she had run with her exaggerated physical abilities. Chasing after her was definitely impossible, and there was no need to chase her.

Just as Jask said.

The reason she fled so decisively was precisely because Jask’s small refrigerator, with its entangled spacetime particle, must have hit her weak spot.

Finally.

He had grasped the secret of the spacetime assassin!

"So…"

Lin Xian kicked the small refrigerator filled with debris on the ground:

"So, this entangled spacetime particle inside here is the consumable used by the spacetime assassin to travel through time? I heard you mention destroying Copernicus's closed loop. Do you think this time traveler was sent by Copernicus? And he used this particle of yours?"

"This is very strange. After going through such a big circle, Copernicus steals your spacetime particle and sends back a blue-eyed girl who is not restricted by the laws of spacetime, and this blue-eyed girl isn't here to kill you but to arrest me. What is the reason for all of this?"

"Also, I guess you also saw the girl with the short ponytail in the beginning through the Tesla's camera, right? She is also a time traveler from the future. Should be the one who used to be by your side?"

"If, as you guess, the blue-eyed girl who is running away now is the one who used your spacetime particle to travel back, then who did the other blue-eyed girl who was killed use to travel back? Who is behind her?"

Jask lifted one foot and stomped on the filled small refrigerator, making it even more compact, then turned his head to look at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, this is what I said before, that there are many misunderstandings between us. I believe that we have a lot of information that is not shared, even with Angelica in the middle relaying messages. But many things get distorted in the process."

"Now that the two of us can finally stand together and talk calmly, why don't we take this opportunity to exchange our information and experiences, and figure out the truth behind the events together? What do you think?"

He spread his hands:

"I came here with sincerity today. Look, I've returned Angelica to you unharmed; I cherished that spacetime particle for so long, and I used it to save you. Well, it's not really saving you, because it turns out this thing would have ended up in Copernicus's hands anyway, so I might as well destroy it in advance."

"In general, I admit that I used you in some ways before, so let me confess first. I'll tell you my side of the story, and then you can tell me your information, okay?"

Lin Xian nodded.

Exchanging information was never wrong, especially since Jask would speak first:

"You go first, I'll listen to what you have to say."

Jask nodded.

Slowly said:

"About a few months ago, the ponytail blue-eyed girl found me, saying that she used my hidden spacetime particle to travel from the future. I didn't doubt her at the time, because she did tell me a lot of things, although most of them were just scratching the surface; it's not that she couldn't say them, but she just couldn't explain."

"But even that was enough. According to my plan, now that I had obtained a spacetime particle and proved that time travel was possible, as long as I held onto this spacetime particle, sooner or later a future version of myself would send a time traveler back to help the present me."

"Limited by the laws of spacetime, there were many things she couldn't say and many things she couldn't do, which was within my expectations. I had already captured a spacetime particle and understood some of the laws of spacetime before I joined the Genius Club. Of course, there are rules in the club that these things can't be said outside, so I won't go into detail; rules are rules, and since I joined, I have to abide by them."

"Let me continue about the ponytail blue-eyed girl. She didn't have a ponytail when she was by my side. I'm just saying it that way to make it easier for you to understand. You're a smart person, you can figure it out."

"She told me that in order to complete my closed loop, there was still one last step missing, which was to eliminate the overly powerful super artificial intelligence and prevent Kevin Walker's actions. She was restricted by the laws of spacetime and didn't explicitly say who possessed the super artificial intelligence."

"But I'm not stupid. I guessed that you and Kevin Walker should both have super artificial intelligence. Although I'm not sure, since I want to eliminate super artificial intelligence, I'll just assume that you two, or others, do have overly intelligent artificial intelligence."

"I personally hate super artificial intelligence and people like Kevin Walker. His future plans completely conflict with my future plans, which is why we have always disliked each other."

"So I did what the little girl said. She gave me a USB drive that was obviously from future technology, saying that the virus inside could correct history, kill all super artificial intelligence that was smarter than Kevin Walker, and ensure that they wouldn't reappear for hundreds of years."

"I believed that statement at the time, but it's different now. This little girl can trick me once, she can trick me every time. I'm not sure which of her words are true, and I'm also not sure what exactly is written on the USB drive she gave me."

Lin Xian listened silently.

He recalled the dying words left by vv on the LCD TV in his home, the name of Jask.

In this way, this point was confirmed.

No wonder Jask was able to eliminate vv. As expected, he relied on future technology given by a time traveler.

But the problem was…

Why could this fake Yu Xi bring high-tech products from the future?

Was this reasonable?

If she could bring them back, why didn't she just bring back some more high-tech products?

Wouldn't this be disrupting spacetime?

Wouldn't it trigger spacetime elasticity, causing the USB drive to disappear directly?

"What happened to that USB drive later? Do you still have it?" Lin Xian asked.

"It's gone."

Jask shook his head:

"It turned into blue stardust and dissipated in my hands, just like the girl who was beheaded just now. Amazing, right? I don't know the principle behind it, but the USB drive did disappear quickly, without a trace."

Hmm.

Lin Xian stroked his chin, thinking. There were still many doubts.

It wasn't that he suspected Jask was lying, but he didn't understand why the fake Yu Xi could bring back a USB drive from the future.

This was obviously violating spacetime elasticity and shouldn't be allowed by the laws of spacetime.

Could it be that this was a kind of tacit historical correction of spacetime?

Or was the USB drive brought back actually empty and didn't violate spacetime elasticity; and the virus written into it in this era was the key to killing vv.

The reason Lin Xian thought of this was because his vv was memorized from dreams and then coded out in reality, one line at a time.

Could the enemy do the same thing?

The first suspect Lin Xian thought of was…

Turing!

That is, the digital life version of Kevin Walker.

Turing should be the network black hand that the super artificial intelligence vv had been fighting against, not Kevin Walker the person.

So, Turing was the real culprit who wrote the virus that killed vv in that future USB drive?

Then what was its purpose?

For fairness? For justice? Did it think the existence of vv was affecting the balance of the game?

It was too early to draw conclusions.

Lin Xian planned to continue listening to what Jask had to say.

Now it had been confirmed that the direct perpetrator who killed vv was indeed Jask.

But Lin Xian didn't plan to bring this up and question him.

That would be too stupid, tantamount to an admission of guilt.

Jask said that he was only guessing that Kevin Walker and himself had super artificial intelligence, and even guessed that others had it as well.

That's why he launched a comprehensive sweep, regardless of whose it was, whether it existed or not, all of them were killed by the virus, indiscriminate attacks.

The one he wanted to kill the most was, of course, Kevin Walker's artificial intelligence.

But unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Kevin Walker didn't have artificial intelligence. What he had was digital life; artificial intelligence and digital life were essentially different. Artificial intelligence was, in the final analysis, just a program written by humans, but digital life was a real person, a completely new life form existing in another form.

It could be said that vv was, to a large extent, mistakenly killed.

Why should he actively admit to Jask that he once possessed super artificial intelligence?

It was better not to answer here.

Less said, more wise.

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't speak, Jask continued:

"What I'm going to say next is where I need to apologize to you, and also why I said I owed you something."

Lin Xian raised his head and listened carefully.

He thought that Jask said he owed him something because of vv; but now it seemed that wasn't the case. Because Jask wasn't too sure about the accidental killing of vv, it was clear that he was still hiding something from him.

"Lin Xian, that ponytail blue-eyed girl by your side was sent by me to your side. She said she would use you to help me kill Kevin Walker."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

So that was it, a spy within a spy, a double agent:

"Is that why you sent me Kevin Walker's address? You actually knew all along that this ponytail girl, under the guise of protecting me, under the false name of Yu Xi, was staying by my side."

"No, no, no."

Jask hurriedly waved his hands:

"The reason I think the misunderstandings between us are difficult to explain is because of this issue. The blue-eyed girl by my side, she said that after my closed loop was completed, she could use you to kill Kevin Walker. I deeply believed her on this point, because she was indeed helping me, at least on the surface."

"I've wanted to get rid of Kevin Walker for a long time, but I couldn't find him, and I was helpless. That blue-eyed girl said that you, Lin Xian, could find Kevin Walker. I thought, since you two have conflicts anyway, then go ahead, and then she left from my side."

"I always thought that she was assisting you in finding Kevin Walker. As for what she was protecting you from, or the spacetime assassin chasing you, I knew nothing about it! After the blue-eyed girl left from my side, she never contacted me again, and of course I couldn't contact her either."

"In the end, it was Angelica who told me that a blue-eyed girl was chasing you. At that time, I was puzzled. I clearly sent her to find Kevin Walker with you, how could she turn around and try to kill you? Angelica said that this information came from your mouth, and you said that the killer chasing you had black, shoulder-length hair, blue eyes, and a cold, expressionless face. This made me a little guilty."

"All the characteristics were so similar. I couldn't imagine that there would be a second blue-eyed girl chasing you. And even if there was a second one, it was impossible for it to have the exact same characteristics as the one who just left from my side, right? I began to consider whether I had also been deceived by that girl? When she left from my side, she said she was going to help you kill Kevin Walker, but what if she was actually going to chase you?"

"I asked Angelica if she had seen the appearance of the blue-eyed assassin, and Angelica said no. That's why I set up this trap today. I wanted to see what kind of role the ponytail blue-eyed girl was playing. What exactly was her purpose?"

"Angelica said that the spacetime assassin could kill you, which violated the laws of spacetime. I have always been very suspicious of this, so tonight, I did use you."

Having said that, Jask smiled and spread his hands:

"Using you to kill Kevin Walker and using you to lure out the blue-eyed girl, these two things are indeed what I owe you."

"I did it, I confess, and I generously admit it; I am not an absolutely good person or a saint. Naturally, I will also use others to achieve my goals. But as I said to Angelica, if I did it, I admit it; if I didn't do it, I won't take the blame."

"This is all the information I know. Lin Xian, with the information you know, what truth can you analyze?"

Lin Xian silently looked at Jask.

This person was indeed honest. Even if he hadn't confessed today that he had used him, he wouldn't have noticed.

After all, the fake Yu Xi was already dead, and all the blame could be shifted to her. Jask could have acted like a good person and not admitted it.

But in the end, he honestly admitted it. He was indeed sincere in tonight's conversation.

And regardless of the process or the motives, in the end, Jask could be said to have saved him from the real Yu Xi. Plus, Angelica was safe and sound, so Lin Xian decided to share some of the information he knew with Jask.

Because Jask clearly still had some bargaining chips hidden.

Copernicus.

He had only clarified his involvement with Kevin Walker and the blue-eyed girl, and hadn't mentioned anything about Copernicus.

Clearly, he wasn't stupid. He was waiting for Lin Xian's sincerity, in order to determine whether he would tell him the truth, and then decide whether to tell him the Copernicus information.

Now.

It was Lin Xian's turn to reveal information:

"After the ponytail blue-eyed girl came to my side, she never mentioned the plan to kill Kevin Walker. She said that her mission and task was to protect me from the pursuit of the spacetime assassin; she also said that the spacetime assassin was sent by you, and kept urging me to kill you, and even gave me a Taser gun."

Lin Xian pointed to the Taser gun that had been cut in half next to him:

"She said this gun was stolen from your bodyguard."

"Pure nonsense!"

Jask snorted:

"This is the Dragon Kingdom. Which foreign guest is allowed to carry a gun? At least someone of my level is absolutely impossible. And as far as I know, even if the president visits the Dragon Kingdom, they are not allowed to carry firearms. The Dragon Kingdom government will provide protection services."

"Taser guns are controlled weapons in the Dragon Kingdom. My bodyguard couldn't possibly carry these things."

"This… this is from Copernicus!" Angelica picked up half of the Taser gun, the half with the handle, from the ground and looked it over:

"I recognize this! Jask, remember your runaway security captain? The one who was arranged by Copernicus? He used this kind of Taser gun to stun those two female bodyguards and take out your small refrigerator and me."

Jask squatted down.

He picked up the other half of the gun from the ground, pulled out the electric shock bullet, and carefully studied it, even prying open the outer shell with a key to look at the components inside:

"Based on my experience, the bullet of this Taser gun has been modified. The electric shock damage is far beyond the normal safe value. If it hits someone, it could be fatal."

"It's a good thing you didn't use it today, Lin Xian, otherwise someone would really die. So it's not difficult for us to determine that the ponytail blue-eyed girl is simply a liar, a complete liar. I believe that after she uses the knife to kill Kevin Walker and kill me, Lin Xian, you will definitely be next."

"Don't think that she has been protecting you from the spacetime assassin all along, but as long as you successfully kill me, after her purpose is achieved, she definitely won't care about your life or death, and will let the spacetime assassin subdue you."

"I think so too."

Lin Xian took the disassembled Taser gun bullet from Jask's hand, looked at it casually, and indeed saw traces of modification. He threw it away directly:

"And I also want to tell you a piece of information, Kevin Walker is not one person, he is also two people."

Lin Xian told Jask about the digital life Kevin Walker, as well as its claim to be Turing, betraying its physical body and wanting to be a fair and just observer.

Jask suddenly understood.

"I see."

He understood:

"I see. In that case, I probably understand, I probably understand the ponytail blue-eyed girl's line."

He scratched his hair and looked at Lin Xian:

"That ponytail blue-eyed girl is very likely sent back by the future Turing, that is, Kevin Walker's digital life."

Jask paced in place, stretching out his fingers to summarize:

"Look carefully, what has this ponytail blue-eyed girl done?"

"First, she used the virus in the USB drive to kill all super artificial intelligence except Turing. Whether it was for fairness and justice, or for other purposes, the only beneficiary of this behavior was Turing."

"Second, she assisted you in killing Kevin Walker. Although in terms of motivation, both you and I wanted to kill Kevin Walker. But without the accidentally obtained address, who could find Kevin Walker? Needless to say, that address must have also been revealed by Turing."

"Third, she also wanted to kill me, and then possibly harm you. Although the ponytail blue-eyed girl kept saying she was protecting you, it seems that she didn't consider your safety too much in the plan to kill me. The newly born digital life Turing may want to be a fair and just observer. But who can guarantee that it won't change its initial intention after hundreds of years?"

"If Turing were an artificial intelligence, I would still believe that it might maintain fairness and justice from beginning to end. But it is a digital life, its essence is still a person, still derived from a despicable villain like Kevin Walker. Are you sure its thoughts won't change? As an ancient Dragon Kingdom saying goes…"

"It is easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter one's character. I believe that digital life Turing can betray itself once, then it can betray itself twice, countless times. Maybe hundreds of years from now, the Turing who sent the ponytail blue-eyed girl back to 2024 to kill people will be reneging on its promises again and again?"

Listening to Jask's words.

Lin Xian nodded:

"I think so too, because this ponytail blue-eyed girl who deceived us all has a really strong desire to kill you, even to the point of almost revealing her intentions. And like you analyzed, everything this ponytail girl has done benefits Turing."

"I have never believed what digital life Turing said either. Maybe it really wants to be a fair and just observer now, that's just because it has just broken away from Kevin Walker's control and seems to have some lofty ambitions. But people's hearts will change, who knows what kind of role this digital life Turing, whose essence is human, will grow into in the future."

"In the growth of human beings, self-awareness is very important, but the influence of the environment is also very important. Birds of a feather flock together, and proximity to vermilion makes one red, while proximity to ink makes one black. These are all unchanging truths."

"If digital life Turing interacts and gets along with kind people in the future, it might become kind; but if it makes friends with treacherous people, it might be influenced and fall into evil again."

Snap.

Jask snapped his fingers:

"Your idea is more human! That's right, I only considered the changes in the mindset of digital life Turing itself, but I didn't consider the influence of the external environment and the things it comes into contact with. From this perspective, perhaps the current digital life Turing can still take the right path. I will report this to, uh, to the Genius Club, um, um."

Lin Xian stared at Jask's Adam's apple.

At that moment, he clearly wanted to blurt out a name, but in the end he held back.

Report to xxx.

Generally speaking, this kind of reporting is definitely to a leader, to a person in charge, to a powerful decision-maker.

Then it goes without saying.

The person Jask really wants to report the digital life Turing issue to is the president of the Genius Club, also the leader of all geniuses, the boss of this mysterious organization that spans hundreds of years of history!

At this point.

The mysteries and origins surrounding the fake Yu Xi were roughly guessed.

But now she herself was dead, and many things were impossible to prove.

The future digital life Turing, what exactly will it be like?

What exactly will it become?

No one will know.

This is a miracle of life, and at the same time, a hidden danger of human nature.

The analysis of the fake Yu Xi was over.

So what about the real Yu Xi?

Based on the current information, she should most likely be related to Copernicus, right?

Lin Xian had just exchanged information, revealing the digital life Turing and the subsequent events of the fake Yu Xi, so it was now Jask's turn.

"It's your turn, Jask."

Lin Xian raised his head:

"It's time to talk about Copernicus, the spacetime assassin, and the spacetime particle in the refrigerator."

"Heh heh."

Jask smiled helplessly:

"You're really greedy, Lin Xian, asking so many questions at once."

"The spacetime assassin is easier to explain. I'm 90% sure that this spacetime assassin was definitely sent back from the future by Copernicus."

"This shouldn't be hard to guess, right? Look at how fast that girl ran when I was about to destroy this spacetime particle, which means I must have guessed right. The relationship between spacetime travelers and spacetime particles must be one-to-one. Without a spacetime particle, it's impossible to time travel."

"Generally speaking, we have no way to distinguish which spacetime traveler used which spacetime particle. But! This spacetime assassin is an exception! Because she is not restricted by the laws of spacetime! This actually reveals the secret of her reversed causality, which perfectly corresponds to my spacetime particle that formed an entangled state."

He gently kicked the small refrigerator with his foot, explaining:

"You should have heard it, right? That spacetime assassin said that after she forcibly hibernated you, she would immediately return. This 'immediately return' is really intriguing. How can she travel through time so easily back to hundreds of years later?"

"I think this entangled spacetime particle is the answer to all the strange things! I don't know if this idea is right, but I guess that if you use a spacetime particle to travel through time, it's a one-way ticket and there's no way to return."

"But this entangled spacetime particle, its essence is one, but it has the properties of two! If you use such a unique spacetime particle to travel through time, what do you think will happen? Personally, I think it will make this time travel a round-trip ticket! That is to say, it allows the blue-eyed girl who travels to be in a superposition state in the spacetime before and after the time travel, just like entangled quanta."

"Can you understand my explanation? That girl, although she is actually in our era, is in fact simultaneously in a superposition state of the future and the present. She traveled from the future and must travel back to complete a complete time travel. From the perspective of causality, because she used two entangled spacetime particles in one go, she has achieved reversed causality. The future her has become the result, and the present her who traveled back has become the cause."

"This spacetime traveler is different from other spacetime travelers. She must go back. When she returns to her original era, this entangled spacetime particle will be truly digested, in accordance with spacetime logic and laws."

"That's why you can't shoot her, Lin Xian. If you kill her in this spacetime, she won't be able to return to the future, which reversely forms a paradox because she must go back. She has two entangled spacetime particles on her body, and the fact that she can return to the future must happen. So, she is basically invincible in this era."

"But the ponytail spacetime girl from the more distant future can kill the spacetime assassin, because this is in accordance with spacetime logic. As long as the time the ponytail girl travels from is later than the time the spacetime assassin travels from, then she is allowed by the laws of spacetime to kill the spacetime assassin and complete spacetime logic."

"I'm not very sure about this. What state will the future spacetime assassin be in after using this entangled spacetime particle? Will she disappear like other spacetime travelers? Or will she still leave a backup there to operate? It's impossible to verify. For our current understanding, it's too advanced."

"In the end, this is just my personal guess, Lin Xian. Do you have any good ideas about this? By the way, the address of Kevin Walker was actually given to me by Copernicus…"

Afterward, Jask also told Lin Xian about the call with Copernicus and how Copernicus had persuaded Angelica to steal the small refrigerator, wanting to hear Lin Xian's opinion.

This wave was truly an explosion of information.

Lin Xian hadn't digested it all yet.

Jask's meaning was that the real Yu Xi was sent back by Copernicus using this entangled spacetime particle.

If Copernicus really was the mysterious old man in the fourth dream, this conclusion would make sense.

But Lin Xian wouldn't tell Jask about the fourth dream.

Because that information all came from the dreams.

Dreams, although they were currently stuck, were still his biggest trump card and golden finger, and he couldn't easily reveal them.

At the same time, the spacetime assassin, Lin Yu Xi, who was suspected to be the daughter he had with Huang Que, couldn't be told to Jask either.

That basically meant there was nothing more to say.

According to Jask's theory.

Lin Yu Xi was not restricted by the laws of spacetime entirely because of the special nature of the entangled spacetime particle.

It sounded very reasonable.

But there was no experimental data, and it was almost like empty speculation.

To be honest, it was difficult to convince Lin Xian.

However, the matter of using two entangled spacetime particles in one go was equivalent to a round-trip ticket for time travel. This was generally believable and well-founded. After all, Lin Yu Xi herself had said that she could indeed return to the era before time travel, and she said it very easily.

Only the matter of reversed causality remained to be verified.

Since the matters of the dream, Yu Xi, Huang Que, and his daughter couldn't be said, there was no need to continue discussing with Jask.

So Lin Xian directly nodded and said:

"I feel that your analysis has some truth, but this is, after all, something that cannot be verified."

"Unless at some point, we personally use an entangled spacetime particle and travel back to a more distant time, such as 1980, 1952, or something, to experience what exactly it's like; and then, use the advantages of a round-trip ticket to return to the present 2024, then the truth will naturally be revealed."

Hehehehe sigh.

Jask smiled weakly, and finally sighed, looking at the messy small refrigerator at his feet, with an expression of regret and pity:

"You think it's very easy. Capturing an ordinary spacetime particle is rare enough, and this thing doesn't appear for decades. Not to mention capturing this entangled spacetime particle with a probability of one in several billion, maybe this is the only one that has ever existed, from ancient times to the present. Otherwise, why would Copernicus want to snatch it?"

"I even suspect that this entangled spacetime particle has a superluminal communication function similar to quantum entanglement! Two quanta that form an entangled state can transmit signals in real time across tens of billions of light-years; so is it possible that entangled spacetime particles can also, like making a phone call, span hundreds of years and make real-time communication between the past and the future possible?"

"I thought at the time that the ponytail blue-eyed girl was sent back using this entangled spacetime particle, so I asked her expectantly. She still said she couldn't say it, there was no way to say it. I was quite disappointed at the time, but now it seems that she definitely didn't know it, because she didn't travel back using my spacetime particle."

"You're right, if I could capture another entangled spacetime particle, and it has now been proven that at least I can travel back and be unrestricted by the laws of spacetime in the past, and no one can kill me, then I would definitely try it myself! Personally conduct a time travel and figure everything out!"

"But where would there be such a good thing? Otherwise, why would I say that to save you, I ended up destroying this precious entangled spacetime particle. Sigh, I really can't bear it. Actually, thinking about it, I could have not saved you and used this spacetime particle myself to travel to the era of the scientists, to Tesla's era at least?"

"It's no secret that Tesla is my idol, I admire him very much. If I really had the opportunity to travel back, I would definitely go see Tesla."

"What about you, Lin Xian? As the next most likely member to join the Genius Club, I'm quite curious, if you could travel through time back to the past, which great person would you want to see?"

Hearing this question.

The first thing Lin Xian thought of was not a great person.

It was Chu Anqing's smiling face, the little dimples, the cold CC behind the Ultraman mask, and Zhang Yuqian in the photo listening to music with wakan headphones on.

If he really had such an opportunity to travel back to the past.

He wanted to see Chu Anqing.

And.

Find a way to crack the Thousand-Year Stake.

Save Chu Anqing, fulfill his promise to Chu Shanhe, and bring her home.

That was all.

For some reason, he suddenly really wanted an entangled spacetime particle.

To return to the past.

He really wanted to return to the past and stop all of this.

"Um?"

Seeing that Lin Xian suddenly didn't speak, Jask considered whether he had made the atmosphere awkward. He smiled and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

"Don't be so serious, brother. I was just joking. Even if you let me choose a hundred times, I would still destroy this spacetime particle today to save you. In principle, I owe it to you. Secondly, from the perspective of established history, I may not be able to keep this spacetime particle anyway, and it will be stolen by Copernicus sooner or later."

"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it's hard to guard against a thief for a thousand days! It will take at least one or two hundred years for mankind to master the technology of spacetime shuttles, right? I can't be so worried for one or two hundred years, right? So since I can't keep this spacetime particle, then let's flip the table, everyone don't want it! Everyone don't play! Better to be a shattered jade than an unbroken tile, at least Copernicus's closed loop will definitely fail!"

Lin Xian lowered his head, looking at the small refrigerator filled with garbage:

"Are you sure the spacetime particle has been destroyed now?"

"After so long, it must have lost its activity long ago."

Jask squatted down:

"Come on, let's pour out the stuff inside and see what happened to that spacetime particle."

Lin Xian also squatted down.

Together with Jask, he lifted the heavy small refrigerator, turned it over in the air, and let the gravel and dirt inside pour out.

Then he turned the empty small refrigerator over again and looked inside.

A spacetime particle!

Sure enough, after the two blue small electric balls that formed an entangled state stopped moving, they quietly merged into one, turning into a peaceful small basketball, without the colliding core and without the intense lightning on the surface.

Calm, peaceful, gentle, and lazy. The blue filaments spread out evenly and slowly in the sphere, slowly floating, very slowly, almost moving but not moving. Where was the violent and aggressive look just now? Now it was shy, like a little squirrel stealing peanuts.

Lin Xian was too familiar with this deactivated state of the spacetime particle.

The one he captured was like this. Although it was clearly visible in the confinement field, this lazy, soft, and light appearance made it clear that it had no energy.

Useless.

In Liu Feng's words, the spacetime particle in Jask's hand was also scrapped, with no energy and no value.

"It seems it's useless." Lin Xian said.

Jask took a deep breath and didn't speak.

He quietly picked up the small refrigerator and slowly closed it:

"If it's useless, it's useless. It's better than falling into Copernicus's hands. Now, from this moment on, Copernicus's closed loop will definitely not be completed."

"I will now directly destroy this entangled spacetime particle so that Copernicus will never be able to steal it or get it from me. Then there will naturally be no way to transmit that spacetime assassin back. By the way, I'm quite curious, after the already completed closed loop is broken, what will happen to that spacetime assassin? Will she disappear directly?"

Lin Xian shook his head, looking at the window seven or eight meters above the ground.

Who knew?

What happened today was not only something Jask hadn't experienced, but also something he hadn't experienced. Faced with the question of whether the spacetime assassin would disappear, they could only stare at each other.

It seems that I am still far from being good enough and need to work harder."

"Take it, Lin Xian. Whether you accept
