Chapter 344 Yu Xi's Background

"Almost done, stop the car."

On the co-pilot seat, Yu Xi opened her eyes:

"The space-time assassin didn't follow us. This distance is safe enough... Besides, we won't stay for too long. We just need to treat the wound. I need your help."

"no problem."

Lin Xian parked the hard-core SUV directly on the side of the road, then got out with Yu Xi, walked to the back of the car, and manually opened the trunk.

I have to say that Yu Xi was indeed very well prepared.

There is not only a medicine box in the trunk, but also some mineral water, food, blankets and other things.

"Did you take all this from your secretary's house?"

Lin Xian asked:

"I was so flustered all the way, and I didn't have a chance to ask you... You are so young, but you know so many combat skills, wilderness survival skills, and vehicle driving techniques. Have you received training in this area since you were a child?"

Yu Xi nodded without saying anything, but reached out to take out the medicine box.

Lin Xian looked at the girl squatting on the ground:
"I'm just asking casually. If you can't answer or it's inconvenient to answer, just say it directly. I'm more curious... Are all the training you received since childhood prepared for this time travel, going back hundreds of years to protect me?"

"Or... you have such an organization and have trained many, many agents like you. Just like in movies and cartoons... in the end, the best person will be selected to travel back through time and space to carry out the mission?"

Yu Xi opened the medicine box.

Take out the alcohol, disinfectant, cotton swabs, gauze, etc.

Then he raised his head and looked at Lin Xian with his bright blue eyes:

"I can't tell you."

"Ok."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly, squatted down, took the bottles of disinfectant and alcohol, and unscrewed them.

If he can’t tell, then he can’t tell. It’s not like he doesn’t understand the laws of time and space, nor is it like he doesn’t know Yu Xi’s difficulties.

The other party was injured entirely because of protecting him.

Seeing a girl who should have been playing and laughing at school now with so much blood on her arm and some small wounds elsewhere...

He still couldn't help but feel distressed.

Time travel is a one-way ticket.

and so.

There is a high probability that Yu Xi's final ending will be the same as Huang Que's, turning into blue stardust and dissipating in this time and space that does not belong to them, right?
This feeling is really lonely.

Destined to disappear, and nothing will be left behind.

especially……

Lin Xian unscrewed the bottle of alcohol, smelled the pungent smell, and felt a little uncomfortable.

especially.

Whether it is Huang Que or Yu Xi, they gave up their original lives, original time and space, and their original relatives and friends to travel through time for their own sake.

It's all for myself.

Yu Xi is fifteen or sixteen years old...

She must also have parents and be a daughter that is held in the palm of someone's hand, right?
Inexplicable.

Lin Xian recalled what Professor Xu Yun once said to him:

"It doesn't matter if my daughter forgets me, even if she forgets me completely... She will start her new life, and it doesn't matter if she remembers me as her father."

"But I don't want to forget her... I don't want to forget Yiyi. Yiyi was only alive and kicking when she was a child, and I only have a few memories of her... I don't want to lose any of these memories."

"So, I won't hibernate. I will preserve the memory of Yi Yi until the last second of my life, and I will also use the last second of my life to research a better hibernation chamber for Yi Yi."

"One day, you will be a father, and then you will understand."

……

Lin Xian has met many fathers of daughters, and also met many fathers of daughters.

Big Face Cat and his daughter;

Li Cheng and Li Ningning;

Chu Shanhe and Chu Anqing;
Every daughter is the apple of her father's eye and is someone his father cherishes as his life.

Just as Xu Yun said with such certainty...

[One day, you will become a father, and then you will understand. ]

"hiss!"

Hydrogen peroxide was poured on the wound on Yu Xi's arm. Even someone as strong as Yu Xi couldn't help but frown, clench his teeth, and take a breath.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Xian asked with concern.

"Yeah." Yu Xi tightened her lips and nodded.

"Hold on, I'm using hydrogen peroxide to clean your wound."

Lin Xian pinched Yu Xi's right upper arm to help her relieve some of the pain.

But found...

Yu Xi was indeed stronger than he thought, his muscles were so stiff that he couldn't move them at all.

"Fortunately, the wound is not deep, just a little deeper than the skin wound, and the wound is very flat. It will heal in a few days."

Lin Xian continued to apply medicine to Yu Xi, and then prepared to bandage her.

"One day is enough."

Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian with blue eyes and said softly:
"Our body is strengthened in many aspects, including the immune system and skin activity. This kind of skin injury can be healed in one day. Deeper wounds may take a few more days... but it won't take too long."

"alright."

Lin Xian used medical gauze to wipe the blood off her arm, and then formally wrapped Yu Xi's arm with medical bandages.

After the treatment was completed, Lin Xian packed up the remaining bottles and jars and put them back into the medicine box.

Yu Xi looked at her perfectly treated right arm, shook her hamster-like short ponytail behind her head, and tilted her head to look at Lin Xian:

"You're pretty good at bandaging. You handled it so well."

“I’m also learning on the spot.”

Lin Xian put the medicine box back into the trunk and turned around:
“I’m just more careful and attentive.”

He paused.

He hesitated several times to speak.

finally……

I opened my mouth and asked the question I just thought of:
"Yu Xi."

Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi's raised eyes:
"Can you tell me about...your parents?"

"I don't have parents."

Yu Xi and Lin Xian looked at each other and whispered:

"I don't know who my parents are. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and no one has ever told me who my parents are."

Lin Xian said nothing.

This is a direct no answer.

On the contrary... Lin Xian was a little confused.

If Yu Xi still answers "I can't say" or "I can't tell you", it means there must be something fishy going on.

Just a moment ago, the thought that came to Lin Xian's mind was -

Yu Xi...could she be the yellow bird's child?

And if she is really the oriole's child.

The oriole is Zhao Yingjun.

Moreover, in Huang Que's time and space, there was a high probability that he and Huang Que were husband and wife.

These few clues connect everything...

Doesn’t that mean!

[Yu Xi, is she the daughter of herself and Zhao Yingjun in a certain time and space? ]

This conjecture is too outrageous.

So that...

Lin Xian himself felt like he was reading a fantasy novel.

It is said that every father is selfish towards his daughter.

Lin Xian also has a deep understanding of this.

He didn't think of himself as a saint, especially when it came to treating his daughter... He wasn't sure if he would become a daughter-slave like Chu Shanhe if he really had a daughter in the future; but at least based on his current thinking, he would never allow his teenage daughter to be sent back in time to carry out a dangerous mission.

Not to mention sending them back in time to carry out the mission.

Just from the initial training and selection stage, Lin Xian's Ruthless Iron Hand was directly passed.

No father can accept that his daughter has no life but only training since childhood, and travels through time and space on a one-way ticket, dies in a foreign land, and can never come back to him, right?
No mother could accept this.

It would be fine if it was an adult daughter...she has her own life and her own choices.

A little girl of Yu Xi's age should be pampered. How could anyone bear to let her go on a dangerous mission from which there is no return and she could die at any time?

perhaps.

There are only orphans left.

No wonder Yu Xi said she didn’t know who her parents were and was an orphan.

Only children who are not loved by anyone will be trained like agents.

Lin Xian once again recalled the irresponsible guess just now...

Is it possible that Yu Xi is the daughter of Huang Que?

In fact, from the perspective of time and space logic, many problems cannot be explained clearly.

Is it possible that Yu Xi is his daughter?

Lin Xian was even more confused.

He would definitely rather die in battle than put his own daughter in danger.

There is a saying that goes well.

To die in battle with his father is the highest honor for a child; to die in battle with his child is the greatest shame for a father.

Lin Xian picked up all the blood-stained gauze, cotton swabs and other things on the ground, put them in order, and threw them into the trash can on the side of the road.

In fact, he still really wanted to know the answer.

Regardless of whether it was the right answer or the wrong answer, he wanted to know... the true relationship between himself and Yu Xi.

Because he thought of the last look in Huang Que's eyes when he said the name Yu Xi before he disappeared.

Such gentleness,

That kind of reluctance,

That kind of nostalgia,

That kind of pleading.

If Yu Xi was really just an ordinary space-time bodyguard, Huang Que shouldn't have shown such a complicated expression, right?

"Lin Xian?"

Behind him, Yu Xi had put on his coat again, stood up, and looked over here:

"What are you doing at the trash can? Let's get going. We need to be far enough away from the Spacetime Assassin to be safe."

Lin Xian turned around from his thoughts, looked at Yu Xi, and nodded:
"I'll come right away."

Forget it.

You can't come up with the answer to this kind of thing just by thinking about it.

【DNA paternity test】

This is the most accurate and direct method.

Wait until there is an opportunity.

Lin Xian plans to take the risk of becoming a father... to find out the truth about Yu Xi's life experience.

……

The two of them got back on the hardcore off-road vehicle and set off.

Lin Xian was still driving. He planned to drive all night and return to Princeton, New Jersey.

He still couldn't help but worry about Angelica's affairs.

The other party specifically told him not to contact him.

In this case, you should listen to the advice and not contact her through phone calls or text messages.

Otherwise...it's easy to go wrong.

But we can't just leave it like this, right?
Therefore, Lin Xian planned to go back to Angelica's villa in Princeton to see if there were any signs of returning home or if there were any clues left for him.

He yawned.

Not sleepy.

But tired...

These days, although I am not flying on the plane every day like before.

But the degree of fatigue increased instead of decreased. He and Yu Xi drove, drove, and drove almost every day.

From the east coast of the United States to the southern border, and now we are driving towards the east coast again.

Fortunately, the highways in the United States are really straight and have few cars, so driving long distances is not that tiring. You just have to try not to fall asleep.

Through the interior rearview mirror.

Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi, who was sleeping in the large seat in the back row, covered with a blanket.

She was still dressed the same way, and she never slept without a loose cloth, with her Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver in her pocket.

There was just a circle of white bandage wrapped around her right arm, and the wound had obviously stopped bleeding and was not oozing out.

Because she was sleeping with her back to Lin Xian and facing the back of the seat.

So Lin Xian could only see the back of her head and... the short ponytail that kept bouncing up and down with the rise and fall of the vehicle.

Yu Xi's baby face is very suitable for a ponytail.

It's just that her hair is too short to tie a ponytail, and this pitifully short ponytail sometimes looks a little funny.

but……

Considering Yu Xi's identity as a space-time agent and the fact that she is on a special mission, she shouldn't consider growing her hair long, right?
That shouldn't be the case. If you really tie your hair into a long ponytail or let it hang down, you would be deliberately giving the other party a flaw.

Lin Xian also saw the duel between Yu Xi and the Space-Time Assassin in the moonlight on the campus... It can only be described as thrilling and bloody.

The battle between these two time-traveling girls was merciless and deadly. Any mistake would be caught by the opponent, and then the sharp knives combined with exaggerated brute force would be used to cut the opponent in half.

"Hey……"

Lin Xian sighed softly in the car and switched the headlights to high beam on the deserted road.

How much he wanted to help Yu Xi so that she wouldn't have to fight alone anymore.

……

The next day, as the sun gradually rose, Yu Xi, who was sitting in the back seat of the SUV, rubbed her eyes and woke up.

She sat up and looked at Lin Xian who had been driving the car all night.
"Lin Xian, where are you?"

"It's almost halfway open." Lin Xian replied:

"Because when we drove from Princeton to Texas, it took almost a day and a night. This time we started from Mississippi, which is closer to Princeton."

"Let me do it instead."

Yu Xi sat up from the back seat, touched the short ponytail at the back of her head, and tightened it a little...it was a little loose after sleeping for a night.

Lin Xian glanced at the quartz clock in the car.

It is now ten o'clock in the morning US time.

You are almost asleep at this time and will wake up after being unconscious for less than three hours at most.

Now that they have run so far, the Spacetime Assassin should not be able to catch up in a short time:
"Where is the Spacetime Assassin now? How far away is she from us?" "She is not moving."

Yu Xi leaned over from the gap between the seats and looked at the yellow sand filling the road ahead:
"She should still be in that city. It's quite far away from us. You can sleep peacefully."

Lin Xian parked the car by the roadside, then got out and sat on the passenger seat, laid the seat flat, and prepared to sleep on the passenger seat.

no way……

Yu Xi's height allowed her to use the back seat as a bed and curl up on it to sleep.

But Lin Xian’s height was not enough, and he couldn’t stretch out completely in the back seat, so he could only make do in the flat passenger seat.

Close your eyes.

Cover with a blanket.

Yu Xi has restarted the car and set out on the journey north.

The shaking of the vehicle made the already exhausted Lin Xian instantly very sleepy, and gradually, he fell asleep...

……

……

call……

The familiar summer breeze and the familiar bustle of the city.

Before Lin Xian even opened his eyes, he already realized that something was wrong.

Slowly open your eyes...

really.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, this fourth dream is too strong! Too difficult to deal with!
In this terrible dream where it is difficult to move forward, I have been trapped for nearly a year...

Even though so many things have happened in the real world and I have killed Kevin Walker, why is there no change in the fourth dream?

He had actually thought of this possibility before he fell asleep.

otherwise.

I wouldn't deliberately wait until so late to fall asleep.

But even though I was mentally prepared, when I opened my eyes and saw dozens of soldiers with live ammunition surrounding me... I couldn't help feeling irritated and lost.

What's the problem?
There is only that possibility:

1. The dream is indeed fake, a fictional studio. The enemy is too lazy to even change the scenery and chooses to just mess it up.

But this doesn't make sense.

If the enemy had no intention of changing the dream scenery from the beginning to the end, then why did the advertising airship of Tam Bank suddenly appear one day?
This shows that the enemy will still modify the details of the dream according to changes in the real world.

In that case...

Since I have already killed Kevin Walker, who are these soldiers going to capture me, electrocute me, and take me to see?

This question will be answered in a moment.

But at the same time, Lin Xian also thought of a second possibility, which was what he had always suspected before -

[The mysterious old man is not Kevin Walker at all! He deliberately said Kevin Walker's catchphrase just to induce me... to make me put all the hostile targets and imaginary enemies on Kevin Walker.]

This is the second possibility:
2. Kevin Walker's death, like the appearance and disappearance of VV and the capture of space-time particles, is an established history and a fact that is certain to happen.

Therefore, from the appearance of the fourth dream to the present, all the changes that have occurred have proceeded as planned on the original track of history...Since the historical trajectory has not changed, the fourth dream will naturally not change either.

“Who decides history?”

Lin Xian couldn't help but ask himself:

"Who could manipulate history so accurately that it would not deviate from its track at all?"

Lin Xian was not given much time to think.

Among the soldiers surrounding him, the man dressed as the captain threw out an electronic wanted poster:
"Lin Xian! You are now being arrested according to law on charges of crimes against humanity, crimes against the Earth, and crimes of disrupting time and space!"

Lin Xian sighed inexplicably.

He didn't know how many hundreds of times he had heard these accusations.

What an injustice.

He is the victim, okay?
Now he feels that he is not a criminal... but a group of culprits who are against humanity, endangering the earth, and disrupting time and space are chasing him and pursuing him relentlessly.

呲——

There was a sharp sound of electric current, and Lin Xian’s eyes went dark and he passed out.

……

I don’t know how long it will take.

He opened his eyes again.

He was still handcuffed to the chair and still wearing a black hood, unable to see what was happening outside.

From the front, the dry laughter that Lin Xian had long been tired of hearing came again.

Then there was the sound of staggering footsteps approaching.

Swish.

The old man tore off the hood covering Lin Xian's head, and it was that familiar face again, staring at him with dry eyes:

“Now… … ”

"You are not Kevin Walker." Lin Xian interrupted him directly.

It seems that Kevin Walker's death was just as he thought. Kevin, who had become Turing's digital life, said...

It is established history.

It's an unchangeable fact.

Ever since the moment Turing wanted to kill his former self.

Kevin Walker's death has become an anchor that cannot be reversed.

This basin of water has to be poured out eventually, it just depends on who pours it.

Turing told himself in that basement that even if he didn't come to kill Kevin Walker, someone else would come, someone would always come, and the time would not be too late.

Even if he hadn't killed him last night, Lin Xian estimated that Kevin Walker would not survive this month. At least... Jask would not let him go just like that.

Therefore, Kevin Walker's death will not change the future or trigger any powerful butterfly effect.

The reason why the lines of this mysterious old man did not change is probably because he didn't know exactly when Kevin Walker would be killed or who would kill him...

It seemed that I had indeed been used by him before.

But Lin Xian didn't care.

Even if this mysterious old man hadn't fanned the flames, the connection between him and Kevin Walker was enough for him to return a bullet to him.

In addition, with the existence of such a hacker who can invade various surveillance systems, Lin Xian is always uneasy and worried.

For now, at least this scourge has been eliminated.

So, it can’t be said that the old man was taking advantage of him. It can only be said that the two people’s goals just happened to overlap.

So now...

Now that the Kevin Walker thing is settled.

So, is it time to settle the score with the mysterious old man?
"Don't make me guess who you are, old man."

Lin Xian smiled and looked at the old man in front of him:

"I have settled the account with Kevin Walker. Now...it's time to settle the account with you."

The old man was slightly stunned at first.

Then he laughed dryly again.

He shook his head with interest, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking at Lin Xian:

"Silly boy……"

He smiled happily:
"【A true hunter never enters the hunting ground himself.】"

boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
boom! ! ! ! !
The dazzling white light arrived on time, filling every gap in the sight and burning everything to ashes.

……

……

……

A two-story building in the small town of Boca Chica, Texas.

In the bedroom, Angelica opened her eyes.

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, straightened her pajamas, and opened the bedroom door.

in the living room.

Two female bodyguards in black uniforms and sunglasses bowed to her:

"Ms. Angelica, you're awake. What would you like for lunch today? We'll ask the chef to prepare it and bring it to you."

But it's a pity.

This wasn't Angelica's own bodyguard, but one hired by Jask. In name, he was protecting her... but in reality, he was monitoring and placing her under house arrest.

"Just the same as yesterday."

Angelica said softly.

Since that day when she was exposed by Jask for pretending to be a female secretary at the Space-T rocket launch center, Jask locked her in this small building. He didn't allow her to contact the outside world or go out, and she was locked up inside all day.

Since then, Jask has never come here again, and Angelica has never seen him. In the past two days, she has no news from the outside world, and has not been able to contact the outside world.

Jask told her on the observation tower that Copernicus had offered her a very tempting bargaining chip in exchange for her life:
"I don't want to be criticized and become a bad person like Copernicus. So, I will keep my word and prevent Copernicus from spreading rumors about me."

This is what Jask told her at the time:

"During this period of time, you just stay here obediently. I will have people take good care of you. Except for not being able to go out and contact the outside world, your life will be no worse than your daily life."

"Once I'm sure Kevin Walker is dead, I will naturally let you go. Of course... Kevin Walker is extremely cunning, and it will take a while to verify whether he is dead or not. At least I have to wait until [the early morning of the 1st of next month] before I can truly confirm whether he is dead or not."

Angelica was then imprisoned here.

Jask is indeed a man of his words.

Even the bodyguards sent to monitor her were two women who responded to her every request.

Such as books, food, CDs, and even small pets...anything she asked for would be satisfied by the people who took care of her and delivered to her as quickly as possible.

just.

She couldn't help but worry every day...

How is Lin Xian?

Is he still safe?
Is he still alive?
Angelica knew that Lin Xian and Kevin Walker had a grudge, and Jask also sent Kevin Walker's address to Lin Xian.

It goes without saying that Lin Xian will most likely kill Kevin Walker.

On the keyword note written to himself, the name Kevin Walker was very high up. This was enough to show that Lin Xian's priority for this strongest young hacker on the planet was even higher than that of the blue-eyed girl who was chasing him.

"I can only wish you good luck, boy."

Angelica shook her hair and prepared to go into the bathroom.

At this time.

A female bodyguard in the living room said something on the phone, then came over and bowed to her:

"Miss Angelica, Mr. Jask will be here soon. He asked you to pack and get ready as soon as possible. He wants to take you abroad."

"Going abroad?"

Angelica frowned slightly:

"Where?"

"To Dragon Country."

The female bodyguard shook her head and said:
"Mr. Jask didn't go into detail. He'll be here to explain it to you."

……

After one hour.

The tall Jask knocked on the door, opened it, and entered the living room.

In the living room, Angelica was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, smoking.

"Have you packed it up?"

Jask asked.

"hehe."

Angelica laughed contemptuously, turned her head away, and blew out a puff of smoke:
"Jask, I was wrong to pretend to be your secretary. But you've kept me here for so many days, so that's fair, right?"

"The reason why I obeyed your words and was willing to be under house arrest is because I still have things to accomplish and wishes to fulfill in my life, not because I am reluctant to give up my life."

"So, you keep your promise, and I keep my promise too. I will wait until the early morning of the first day of next month as you said, so that you can confirm whether Kevin Walker is really dead. By then, you can kill me if you want, or let me go if you want, and I will have no complaints."

"But forget about accompanying you abroad. It's very expensive to have a Hollywood actress accompany you abroad... Even if you can afford it, it depends on whether I'm willing. I'm sorry, I don't want to."

"You would, Angelica."

Jask smiled:

"This is a new deal. I will tell you what you want to know. In exchange, you and I will go to Dragon Country together."

Angelica took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled:
"You know what I want to know?"

"I do not know."

Jask spread his hands:

"But since you took the risk and pretended to be my secretary to get close to me... that means you really have something you want to know, so you came to me to get the truth. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything there is to know about Copernicus."

Angelica still crossed her legs, turned her head and looked at Jask:
"That's the Copernicus who called you from my phone. Tell me what you know about him."

"no problem."

Jask didn't care:
"I will definitely tell you after I finish. Copernicus is not my friend. I don't know him. Even from hearsay... I hate him very much."

"It's just that I don't know much about him. I only know a few words from other people. So you should be prepared for the amount of information and intelligence. It may not meet your expectations."

Angelica leaned forward.

He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, twisted it, and put it out.

After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head again:
"So you want me to go to Dragon Country with you. What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything."

Jask said:
"You just need to accompany me and go meet Lin Xian."

"Lin Xian?"

Angelica narrowed her eyes:

"Lin Xian is in the United States. You can see him anytime you want."

Jask rubbed his hands, shook his head and smiled:

"But in the United States, Lin Xian doesn't dare to see me, especially when there is a misunderstanding... No matter if I invite him or he invites me, we will both think it is a Hongmen Banquet and neither of us will show up."

"Even if I let you go now and let you inform Lin Xian, it will be the same. As long as he is not a fool, he will suspect that this is a trap I set."

"But it's different in Longguo. Longguo is a very safe country. It is very safe for both me and Lin Xian. And my trip is accompanied by officials from Longguo, which is enough for Lin Xian to trust."

"I still have a lot of things to explain to Lin Xian. Some of the things I did, I will take the blame for. But some of the things I didn't do, so I won't take the blame."

Angelica snorted:
"Are you so confident that Lin Xian will go to Longguo to see you?"

"He will."

Jask pulled out a ticket from his trouser pocket. On it were written the words "Fly to the Moon":

"This time when I go to Longguo, I will go to the hospital to visit a little girl first, and Lin Xian will definitely come."

"Why?" Angelica felt puzzled and was directly amused.

"Because I have already checked it out." Jask shook the ticket in his hand and smiled.

"This moon ticket worth 1200 million US dollars..."

"It was Lin Xian who gave it to Zheng Xiangyue!"
