Chapter 360 42 With Your Daughter

Angelica looked left at Lin Xian, then at Jask.

After seeing Lin Xian slowly stand up from the ground, safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.

Then he followed Jask, picked up a few small stones from the pile of stones next to him, and threw them all into the small refrigerator.

Today's small refrigerators have their sealed doors wide open, facing upwards, and are filled with stones, broken sand, and miscellaneous construction waste.

When Lin Xian brushed off the dirt on his body and walked to the small refrigerator... Jask and Angelica also finished their actions and stood beside him with their hands on their hips.

The three of them looked down at the small refrigerator that was filled with miscellaneous items and had completely buried the space-time particles.

Lin Xian looked at Jask:
"You have two space-time particles?"

"Do not."

Jask dusted off his hands and shook his head:
"I'm very happy. This should be the last time I explain this problem. Those are not two space-time particles... They are one! One!"

"Although visually they appear to be two space-time particles, it is similar to the concept of quantum entanglement. They are entangled together and cannot be separated at all. If they are to be used, they can be used together, and if they are to be ineffective, they can be ineffective together. So... do you understand? There is one space-time particle in it!"

Then he turned his head and looked at the window where the little blue-eyed girl escaped.

The factory window was at least seven or eight meters above the ground... It was an extremely exaggerated physical strength and power:
"But... since the blue-eyed girl ran away so quickly and without hesitation, I must have guessed the answer correctly. Otherwise, why would she run away? Wouldn't she have just killed us? She is not restricted by the laws of time and space anyway."

Lin Xian also turned his head.

Looking at the window through which the Spacetime Assassin escaped...

After such a while, I don't know how far she has run with her exaggerated physical strength. It is impossible to catch up with her, and there is no need to chase her.

As Jask said.

The reason why she escaped so decisively just proved that the entangled space-time particles in Jask's small refrigerator must have hit her sore spot.

Finally.

Captured the secret of the Space-Time Assassin!

"so……"

Lin Xian kicked the small refrigerator that was filled with stuff on the ground:
"So, this entangled space-time particle here is the consumable used by the space-time assassin who traveled through time? I heard you just mentioned that you wanted to destroy Copernicus' closed loop. Do you think this space-time traveler was sent by Copernicus? And he used your particle?"

"This is very strange. After going through so much trouble, Copernicus stole your space-time particles and sent back a blue-eyed girl who is not restricted by the laws of space-time. And this blue-eyed girl came not to kill you but to arrest me... What is the reason for all this?"

"There is one more thing. I guess you should have seen the girl with a short ponytail at the beginning through the camera on the Tesla vehicle, right? She is also a time traveler from the future... She should be the one who followed you before, right?"

"If, as you guessed, the blue-eyed girl who is escaping now was teleported back using your space-time particle... then whose space-time particle did the other blue-eyed girl who was killed just now use to travel back? Who is behind her?"

……

Jask raised one foot and stepped on the small refrigerator to make it more tightly packed, then turned his head to look at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, this is what I said before. 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, many things deviate from the original meaning as they are passed on."

"Now that we can finally stand together and talk calmly, why not take this opportunity to exchange our intelligence and experiences, and work together to deduce the truth behind the incident? Do you think that's okay?"

He spread his hands:

"I came here with sincerity today. Look, I sent Angelica back to you unharmed. I treasured the space-time particle for so long to save you... well, it can't be considered saving you, because it turns out that this thing will eventually fall into the hands of Copernicus anyway, so I might as well destroy it in advance."

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

Lin Xian nodded.

There was nothing wrong with exchanging information, especially since Jask was the first to speak:
"You go ahead and talk. I'll listen to what you have to say."

Jask nodded.

He said slowly:

"About a few months ago, the blue-eyed girl with ponytails found me and said that she had traveled from the future using the space-time particles I had hidden. I didn't doubt it at the time because she did tell me a lot of things... although most of them were just briefly mentioned, either 'can't say' or 'can't talk about'."

"But even this is enough. According to my blueprint, since I have obtained the space-time particle and proved that time and space can be traveled, as long as I have this space-time particle in my hand, sooner or later my future self will send a time traveler back to help my present self."

"Due to the restrictions of the laws of time and space, there are many things she can't say or do, which is within my expectations. Before I joined the Genius Club, I had already captured space-time particles and figured out some of the laws of time and space... Of course, the club has its own rules, and these things can't be told to others, so I won't go into details; rules are rules, and since you've joined, you have to abide by them."

"Let me continue talking about the blue-eyed girl with a ponytail... She didn't have a ponytail when she was next to me. I just said it this way to make it easier for you to understand. You are a smart person and you can react."

"She told me that there was only one last step left to complete my closed loop, which was to eliminate the overly powerful super artificial intelligence and stop Kevin Walker's actions. She was restricted by the laws of time and space and did not specify who possessed the super artificial intelligence."

"But I'm not a fool. I guess you and Kevin Walker both have super artificial intelligence. Although I'm not sure, since I want to destroy super artificial intelligence, I'll assume that you two or others do have overly smart artificial intelligence. 】"

"I personally dislike super artificial intelligence, and I also dislike people like Kevin Walker. His future plans are completely in 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 flash drive that was obviously future technology. She said the virus inside the USB flash drive could correct history and kill all super artificial intelligences smarter than Kevin Walker, and ensure that they would not appear again in the next few hundred years."

"I believed it at the time, but it's different now... If this little girl can lie to me once, she can lie to me every time. I'm not sure which of her words are true... I'm also not sure what she wrote on the USB drive she gave me."

Lin Xian listened silently.

He recalled the last words VV left with burn marks on the LCD TV at home, Jask's name.

So, this point is correct.

No wonder Jask was able to destroy VV. It turned out that he relied on the future technology provided by the time traveler.

The only problem is...

Why can this fake Yu Xi travel from the future with high-tech products?
Is this reasonable?

If she could bring it back, why didn't she just bring back something more high-tech?
Doesn’t this count as disrupting time and space?

Wouldn’t it trigger the space-time elasticity and make the USB drive disappear?

"What happened to the USB drive? Is it still there?" Lin Xian asked.

"No more."

Jask shook his head:

"It was in my hand, just like the beheaded girl, it all turned into blue stardust and dissipated. It's amazing, right? I don't know the principle, but the USB flash drive really disappeared very quickly, without any trace."

Ok……

Lin Xian held his chin and thought, but he still had many doubts.

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

This obviously violates the elasticity of space-time and should not be allowed by the laws of space-time.

Could it be that... this is a kind of historical revision tacitly approved by time and space?

Or... the USB drive brought back was actually empty and did not violate the elasticity of time and space; and the virus written into it in this era was the key to killing VV.

The reason why Lin Xian thought of this.

This is because his VV was memorized from his dreams and then typed out one code at a time in reality.

Can the enemy do the same?

The first suspect that Lin Xian thought of was——

It’s [Turing]!
That is, the digital life version of Kevin Walker.

Turing should be the cyber mastermind that the super artificial intelligence VV has been fighting against, not Kevin Walker.

So, Turing is the real culprit who wrote the virus that kills VV in that future USB flash drive?
So what is its purpose?

For fairness? For justice? Do you think VV's existence affects the balance of the game?

It is too early to draw a conclusion.

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

It has now been confirmed that the direct murderer of VV was indeed Jask.

But Lin Xian didn't intend to tell him about this matter or question him.

That would be too stupid and would be tantamount to incriminating oneself.

Jask said that he was just speculating that Kevin Walker and himself both had super artificial intelligence, and he even speculated that others also had it.

That's why there is a full-scale cleanup. No matter who owns it or whether it's real or fake, all will be killed by the virus. It's an indiscriminate attack.

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

But unfortunately he guessed wrong.

Kevin Walker does not have artificial intelligence, he only has digital life; artificial intelligence and digital life are fundamentally different. Artificial intelligence is ultimately just an operating program written by humans, but digital life is a real person and a completely new life form in another form.

It can be said that VV was killed by mistake to a large extent.

Why should I take the initiative to admit to Jask that I once possessed super artificial intelligence?
Just don't answer here.

It is better to speak less than more; too much talk will lead to mistakes.

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't speak, Jask continued:
"What I'm going to say next is where I want to apologize to you, and why I just said...I owe you something."

Lin Xian raised his head and listened carefully.

He originally thought that when Jask said he owed him something, it was about VV; but now it seemed that was not the case... because Jask was not quite sure about the accidental killing of VV, and it was obvious that he was hiding something from him.

"【Lin Xian, the blue-eyed girl with a ponytail next to you is the one I sent to you. She said she would use you to help me kill Kevin Walker.】"

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes...

So that's what it is, Mission Impossible, Infernal Affairs:
"Is this why you sent me Kevin Walker's address? You actually knew all along... that this ponytail girl stayed by my side under the pseudonym of Yu Xi in the name of protecting me."

"No no no."

Jask waved his hands hurriedly:

"That's why I find the misunderstanding between us difficult to explain. The blue-eyed girl next to me said that after my closed loop is completed, she can use you to kill Kevin Walker. I believe her because she has been helping me... at least on the surface."

"I have wanted to kill Kevin Walker for a long time, but I couldn't find him and there was nothing I could do. The blue-eyed girl said that you and Lin Xian could find Kevin Walker. I thought, since you two have conflicts, let's go ahead, and then she left me."

"I always thought that she was helping you find Kevin Walker. As for...she was protecting you, and the time-space assassin was hunting you...I know nothing about that! After the blue-eyed girl left me, 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 hunting you. I was confused at the time. I clearly sent her to find Kevin Walker with you, so why did she turn around and kill you? Angelica said that this information came from you, and you said that the murderer who was hunting you had short black hair, blue eyes, and a cold expression... This made me feel a little guilty."

"All the features are so similar. I never thought that there would be a second blue-eyed girl chasing you... And even if there is a second one, it is impossible for her to have the same features as the one who just left here, right? I began to wonder if I was also deceived by that girl? When she left me, she said she was going to help you kill Kevin Walker, but what if... she was actually going to hunt you down?"

"I asked Angelica if she had seen the blue-eyed killer girl's appearance, and Angelica said no. That's why I set up this trap today... I want to see what role the ponytailed blue-eyed girl is playing... and what her purpose is."

"Angelica said that the space-time assassin could kill you, which is against the laws of space-time. I have always been suspicious of this, so tonight, I did take advantage of you."

After that, Jask smiled and spread his hands:
"I used you to kill Kevin Walker and used you to lure out the blue-eyed girl. I really owe you that."

"I did it. I confess and I admit it generously. I'm not an absolutely good person or saint. I will naturally 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. Add to that what you know... can you analyze the truth?"

……

Lin Xian looked at Jask silently.

This man is honest. Even if he didn't confess today that he had taken advantage of me, I wouldn't have noticed it.

After all, the fake Yu Xi is dead now, so all the blame can be put on her. It would be better for Jask to be a good guy and not admit it.

But he finally admitted honestly that he was indeed sincere in the conversation tonight.

And no matter what the process or motivation was, the result was that Jask rescued himself from the hands of Zhen Yuxi... In addition, Angelica was safe and sound, so Lin Xian decided to share some of the information he knew with Jask.

Because...Jask obviously still has some chips left -

【Copernicus】.

He just explained his relationship with Kevin Walker and the blue-eyed girl, and did not mention Copernicus at all.

Obviously, he was not a fool. He was waiting for Lin Xian's sincerity to make sure whether he would tell him the truth and then decide whether to tell him the information about Copernicus.

just now.

It was Lin Xian's turn, and it was his turn to reveal the information:

"After the ponytailed blue-eyed girl came to me, she never mentioned the plan to kill Kevin Walker. She said her mission and task was to protect me from the time-space assassin's pursuit. She also said that the time-space assassin was sent by you and kept instigating me to kill you. She also gave me a [Taser]."

Lin Xian pointed to the Taser gun that was cut in half next to him:
"She said this gun was stolen from your bodyguard."

"That's complete nonsense!"

Jask snorted:
"This is Dragon Country. Which foreign guest is allowed to carry a gun? At least it is absolutely impossible for someone of my rank... And as far as I know, even if you are a general-level official visiting Dragon Country, you are not allowed to carry a gun. Dragon Country officials will provide protection services."

"Tasers are controlled weapons in Dragon Country. My bodyguards can't possibly carry these."

"This... this is from Copernicus!" Angelica picked up half of the stun gun, the half with the handle, from the ground and looked at it from left to right:

"I recognize this! Jask, remember your escaped security captain? The one assigned by Copernicus... He used this stun gun to knock out the two female bodyguards and took your small refrigerator and me out."

Jask crouched down.

He picked up the other half of the gun from the ground, pulled out the electric bullet in front, studied it carefully, and used a key to pry open the outer shell to look at the components inside:
"Based on my experience, the bullets in this Taser gun have been modified, and the lethality of the electric shock far exceeds the normal safety value. If it is shot at a person...it may be fatal."

"Fortunately, you didn't use it today, Lin Xian, or someone would have died. So it's not difficult for us to conclude that... the blue-eyed girl with a ponytail is simply a liar, a complete liar. I believe that after she killed Kevin Walker and me... Lin Xian, you will definitely be the next one."

"Don't think that she has been protecting you from the time-space assassin just now. But as long as you succeed in killing me, she will achieve her goal and will definitely not care about your life or death, and let the time-space assassin subdue you."

"I think so."

Lin Xian took the disassembled Taser bullet from Jask and took a look at it. It did show signs of modification, so he threw it away.

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

Lin Xian told Jask about the digital life Kevin Walker and how it claimed to be Turing, betrayed its physical self, and wanted to be a fair and impartial observer.

Jask suddenly realized...

"I see."

He figured it out:
"I see... In that case, I think I understand. I think I have figured out the story of the girl with ponytail and blue eyes."

He scratched his hair and looked at Lin Xian:

"【That blue-eyed girl with a ponytail is most likely the digital life of Kevin Walker, the future Turing, sent back."

Jask paced in place, pointed his finger and concluded:
"Look carefully, what did this ponytailed blue-eyed girl do..."

"First, she used the virus in the USB drive to kill all the super artificial intelligences except Turing. Regardless of whether it was for fairness or 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 if we didn't get that address by chance, who would have been able to find where Kevin Walker was? It goes without saying that the address must have been revealed by [Turing]."

"Third, she wants to kill me, and then she might kill you... Although the ponytailed blue-eyed girl keeps saying she wants to protect you, she doesn't seem to have considered your safety too much when planning to kill me. The newly born digital life Turing may want to be a fair and impartial observer. But... who can guarantee that it will remain true to its original intention and remain unchanged for hundreds of years?"

"If Turing is an artificial intelligence, I believe that he might really remain fair and just from beginning to end. But it is a digital life, and its essence is still a person, and it was born from a despicable person like Kevin Walker... Are you sure its mind will not change? There is an old saying in Dragon Country -"

"【It is easy to change a country, but difficult to change one's nature. I believe that if the digital life Turing can betray itself once, it can betray itself twice, countless times. Maybe hundreds of years in the future, the Turing who sent the ponytailed blue-eyed girl back to 2024 to kill someone... is going back on his word again and again?"

Listen to Jask's words.

Lin Xian nodded:
"I think so too, because this blue-eyed girl with a ponytail who deceived all of us really wants to kill you... so much so that she is about to reveal her true colors. And just as you analyzed, everything this girl with a ponytail did was beneficial to Turing."

"I didn't believe what Digital Life Turing said. Maybe it really wants to be a fair observer now, but that's just because it has just escaped from Kevin Walker's control and seems to have some lofty ambitions. But people's hearts will change... No one knows what kind of role this Digital Life Turing, whose essence is human, will grow into in the future."

"In human growth, self-awareness is important, but the influence of the environment is also very important. Birds of a feather flock together, and those who keep company with vermilion will be red, and those who keep company with ink will be black. This is an eternal truth."

"[If Digital Life Turing gets in touch with kind people in the future, he might become kind; but if he makes friends with evil people, he might be influenced by them and fall into evil again.]"

Snapped.

Jask snapped his fingers:

"Your idea is more humane! You're right. I only considered the mental changes of the Digital Life Turing itself, but did not consider the impact of the external environment and the things it comes into contact with. If you look at it from this perspective, perhaps the current Digital Life Turing can still get on the right track. I will report this matter to... uh... to the Genius Club, hmm."

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

At that moment just now, he obviously wanted to blurt out a name, but finally held back.

Report to XXX...

Generally speaking, this kind of report is definitely made to leaders, people in charge, and powerful decision makers.

Then it goes without saying.

The person that Jask really wants to report the matter of Digital Life Turing to... is the president of the Genius Club, the leader of all geniuses, and the boss of this mysterious organization that spans hundreds of years of history!

……

This is the end.

The mystery and origin of the fake Yu Xi have been roughly guessed.

But now she is dead, and many things cannot be verified.

What will the future digital life Turing be like?

What will it become?
No one will know...

This is a miracle of life, but also a hidden danger of human nature.

The analysis of the fake Yu Xi is over.

So what about the real Yu Xi?

Based on the current information...it is most likely related to Copernicus, right?

Lin Xian just exchanged information and told us about the digital life Turing and the follow-up of the fake Yu Xi. Now it's Jask's turn again.

"It's your turn, Jask."

Lin Xian raised his head:
"It's time to talk about Copernicus, the space-time assassin, and the space-time particle in the refrigerator."

"hehe."

Jask smiled helplessly:

"You are so greedy, Lin Xian, asking so many questions in one breath."

"It's easier to explain the matter of the time-space assassin... I'm 90% sure that this time-space assassin is definitely a time traveler sent back from the future by Copernicus."

"This shouldn't be hard to guess, right? You see, when I was about to destroy this space-time particle, the girl ran away so quickly, which means that I must have guessed it right. The relationship between time travelers and space-time particles must be one-to-one corresponding. Without space-time particles, time travel is impossible."

"Generally speaking, we have no way of telling which time traveler used which time particle... But! This time assassin is an exception! Because she is not restricted by the laws of time! This reveals the secret of her cause and effect reversal, which just happens to correspond to my entangled time particle."

He kicked the small refrigerator lightly and explained:
"You should have heard it, right? The time-space assassin said that after she forced you into hibernation, she would return immediately. This "immediate return" is really intriguing... How could she travel through time and space so easily and return hundreds of years later?"

"I think this [entangled space-time 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 space-time particles to travel through time, it is a one-way ticket and there is no return."

"But this entangled space-time particle is essentially one particle, but it has the properties of two particles! If such a unique space-time particle is used for time travel... what do you think will happen? I personally think that it will make this time travel a [round-trip ticket]! In other words... the blue-eyed girl who travels through time will be in a superposition state in the space-time before and after the travel, just like entangled quantum particles."

"Can you understand my explanation? Although the girl is actually in our time, she is actually in a superposition state of the future and the present. She traveled from the future and had to travel back to complete a complete journey. From the perspective of cause and effect, because she used up two entangled space-time particles in one breath, she achieved a reversal of cause and effect... She in the future became the result; she who traveled to the present became the cause."

"This time traveler is different from other time travelers. She must go back. When she returns to the original era, this entangled space-time particle will be truly digested and conform to the logic and laws of space-time."

"That's why you can't shoot her, Lin Xian... If you kill her in this time and space, she won't be able to return to the future, which creates a paradox in reverse... Because she has to go back, she has two entangled space-time particles in her body, and the fact that she can return to the future must happen. Therefore, she is really invincible in this era." "But... the ponytailed space-time girl from the more distant future can kill the space-time assassin, because this conforms to the logic of space and time. As long as the time when the ponytailed girl travels through time and space is later than the time when the space-time assassin travels through time and space, she can kill the space-time assassin and complete the logic of space and time within the permission of the laws of space and time."

"I'm not quite sure about this. After using this [Entangled Spacetime Particle]... what will be the state of the future spacetime assassin? Did he disappear like the other time travelers? Or did he still leave a backup there? There is no way to verify this... It's a bit too advanced for our current understanding."

"After all, this is just my personal guess. Lin Xian, do you have any good ideas about this? By the way, Kevin Walker's address was actually given to me by Copernicus..."

Afterwards, Jask told Lin Xian about his conversation with Copernicus and how Copernicus had instigated Angelica to steal the refrigerator, wanting to hear Lin Xian's opinion.

……

This wave is truly an explosion of information.

Lin Xian couldn't digest it for a while.

What Jask meant was that the real Yu Xi was teleported back by Copernicus using this entangled space-time particle.

If Copernicus is really the mysterious old man in the fourth dream, this conclusion makes sense.

But Lin Xian would not tell Jask about the fourth dream.

Because all that information came from dreams.

Even though the dream is stuck now, it is still one's biggest trump card and golden finger and cannot be easily exposed.

At the same time, there is also the matter of the time-space assassin, Lin Yuxi, who is suspected to be the daughter of himself and Huang Que...which he also cannot tell Jask.

There's basically nothing to say.

According to Jask's theory.

The reason why Lin Yuxi is not restricted by the laws of space and time is entirely because of the special nature of entangled space-time particles.

It sounds reasonable.

But there is no experimental data, so it is just a fantasy...

To be honest, it's hard to convince Lin Xian.

However, using up two entangled space-time particles in one go is equivalent to a round-trip ticket for time travel, which should be generally credible and well-founded. After all, Lin Yuxi herself said that she could indeed return to the era before time travel, and she said it very easily.

It’s just that the issue of reversal of cause and effect… remains to be verified.

Since the dream, Yu Xi, the yellow bird, and the daughter cannot be talked about, there is no need to continue discussing with Jask.

So Lin Xian nodded directly and said:

"I feel that your analysis makes sense, but... it is something that cannot be verified after all."

"【Unless one day, we personally use entangled space-time particles to travel back to a more past time, such as... 1980, 1952, etc., to experience what is going on; then, we use the advantage of a round-trip ticket to return to the present 2024, then the truth will naturally be revealed.】"

Hehehe…ah.

Jask smiled feebly, and finally sighed, looking at the messy small refrigerator at his feet, with a look of regret and pity:

"You think it's easy. Catching an ordinary space-time particle is rare enough. It may take decades for one of these things to appear. Not to mention catching this kind of entangled space-time particle with a probability of one in hundreds of millions. Maybe there has been one since ancient times... Otherwise, why would Copernicus want to grab it?"

"I even suspect that this entangled space-time particle has the function of long-distance communication similar to quantum entanglement! Two entangled quantum particles can transmit signals in real time over a distance of tens of billions of light years. So is it possible that entangled space-time particles can also make real-time communication between the past and the future possible, just like making a phone call, spanning hundreds of years?"

"At that time, I thought that the blue-eyed girl with ponytails was teleported back using this entangled space-time particle, so I asked her with great expectation. She still said that she couldn't tell me and couldn't tell me... I was quite disappointed at that time, but now it seems that she definitely doesn't know, because she didn't travel back using my space-time particle."

"You're right... If I can catch another entangled space-time particle, now that it has been proven that I can at least travel back in time, and in the past, I am not restricted by the laws of space-time, and no one can kill me... Then I must [try it myself]! Travel through space-time myself and figure everything out!"

"It's just... how can there be such a good thing? Otherwise, why did I say that in order to save you, I finally destroyed this precious entangled space-time particle. Oh... I really can't bear it. Actually, think about it, I can completely not save you. I can use this space-time particle myself and travel back to the era of the year before last... At least go back to the era when the scientist [Tesla] was still alive?"

"It's no secret that Tesla is my idol and I admire him very much. If I really have the opportunity to travel back in time... I will definitely go to meet Tesla."

"What about you, Lin Xian? As the next member most likely to join the genius club... I'm still quite curious. If you could travel through time and space and go back to the past, which great man would you like to meet?"

Hear the question.

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

It was Chu Anqing's smiling dimples, CC's indifferent face behind the Ultraman mask, and Zhang Yuqian wearing walkman headphones and listening to music in the photo...

If I could have the chance to travel back in time like this...

He wanted to meet Chu Anqing.

and.

Find a way to crack the thousand-year-old pile.

Rescue Chu Anqing, fulfill the promise to Chu Shanhe, and bring her home.

That's it.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted an [entangled space-time particle].

return to the past.

He really wanted to go back in time and stop all this.

"Ok?"

Seeing Lin Xian suddenly stop talking, Jaske wondered if he had ruined the atmosphere, so he patted Lin Xian's shoulder with a laugh:

"Don't be so serious, brother. I'm just kidding. Even if you let me choose again a hundred times, I will destroy this space-time particle to save you today... I owe you this. Secondly... judging from the established history, I may not be able to keep this space-time particle. Sooner or later, Copernicus will steal it."

"It's easier to steal for a thousand days than to guard against thieves for a thousand days! If humans want to master the technology of time-space shuttle, it will take at least one or two hundred years, right? I can't live in fear for one or two hundred years, right? So... since I can't keep this time-space particle, then I'll flip the table, and no one wants it! No one should play! It's better to die with honor than to live in disgrace. At least Copernicus' closed loop must have failed!"

Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the small refrigerator filled with garbage:

"Are you sure... that the space-time particles have been destroyed now?"

"It's been so long, it must have lost its activity a long time ago."

Jask squatted down:
"Come on, let's pour out the contents and see what happened to the space-time particle."

Lin Xian also squatted down.

Together with Jask, he lifted the heavy small refrigerator and flipped it over in the air, letting the rubble and dirt inside pour out.

Then he turned the empty refrigerator over again and looked inside——

A space-time particle!
Sure enough, after the two entangled blue electric balls stopped moving, they quietly merged into one and turned into a quiet little basketball, without the colliding core and the fierce lightning on the surface.

Calm, peaceful, docile, lazy... the blue filaments spread out evenly and slowly in the sphere, floating slowly, very slowly... seeming to be moving but not moving... there was no trace of the violent and aggressive look just now, but now it was timid, like a little squirrel stealing peanuts.

Lin Xian was very familiar with this inactivated state of space-time particles.

The one he captured looked like this. Although it was clearly visible in the restraint field, its lazy, limp, and light appearance showed that it had no energy at all.

obsolete.

In Liu Feng's words, the space-time particle in Jask's hand is now scrapped. It has no energy and no value.

"It seems to be useless." Lin Xian said.

Jask let out a long sigh and said nothing.

He quietly picked up the small refrigerator and slowly closed it:
"It's better to let it go than to let it fall into the hands of Copernicus. Now, from this moment on, Copernicus' closed loop will definitely not be completed."

"I will destroy this entangled space-time particle right now. Copernicus will never be able to steal it from me, and naturally there is no way to teleport the space-time assassin back... By the way, I'm quite curious, after the completed closed loop is destroyed, what will happen to the space-time assassin? Will he just disappear?"

Lin Xian shook his head and looked at the window that was seven or eight meters above the ground.

Who knows...

What happened today was not only something Jask had never experienced, he had never experienced it either. When the two of them faced the question of whether the time and space assassin had disappeared, they could only stare at each other.

“I think it will disappear.”

Lin Xian guessed:
"It would be unscientific if it didn't disappear. Didn't you say that your USB flash drive disappeared in your hand? Then the time-space assassin should have disappeared as well."

"It's just... I can't understand. If she was destined to disappear, why would she run so fast and escape in a flash? Since she couldn't get away, why didn't she come and fight you to the death?"

"It can't be that because she is a time-space police officer, she should enforce the law impartially and not harm innocent people, right?"

Thinking of this, Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Jask is an innocent citizen, so you cannot attack the masses; he is a historical sinner, so you should strike back hard, right?
Although I don’t know whether Lin Yuxi has any blood relationship with him and Zhao Yingjun...if so, she is truly a filial daughter who killed her father to prove her faith.

Jask held his chin and thought:
"What you said makes sense. Perhaps the USB flash drive disappeared because a closed loop went off track. The logic and rules of time and space... Even I still have a long way to go to understand them. This incident has taught me a good lesson... It seems that I still have a long way to go and need to work harder."

"I'll give it to you, Lin Xian. No matter whether you accept my apology or not, I hope this can be a gift to make peace with you."

As he spoke, Jask reached out and stuffed the small refrigerator into Lin Xian's arms:
"You survived a near-death experience because of it, so it can be considered a souvenir."

Lin Xian hugged the small refrigerator, and when he bent down and pushed, the cell phone in his trouser pocket fell out.

fall to the ground.

Lin Xian lowered his head...

Find!

There were 103 missed calls on the screen!
All from Liu Feng!
And... just as I saw the screen, Liu Feng called again.

Because Lin Xian was afraid of being exposed when he entered the warehouse to ambush, he turned off the silent mode and even the vibration mode of his phone. In this situation, when a call came in, there was really no movement at all.

Lin Xian put down the small refrigerator temporarily, picked up his phone, walked to a farther place, and answered the call:
“Hello…” “Hello again!! What are you doing, Lin Xian!! Why did you answer the phone just now!!”

Half of the word "hello" was not even uttered.

Liu Feng's roar came loudly:

"I called you eight hundred times!"

"There are not 103... only ." Lin Xian held the phone farther away to avoid rupturing his eardrums:
"Hey, tell me what's going on. I almost died today, okay?"

"It's a big deal, Lin Xian!"

Liu Feng was so excited that he seemed to be slamming the table:

"Clock... Space-time... Space-time clock... The space-time clock has changed! The numbers on the space-time clock have changed! Finally! My theory is correct! The curvature of space-time really exists!"

what?
Lin Xian opened his eyes wide.

The clock that seemed to have crashed actually changed the numbers.

No wonder Liu Feng was so excited and incoherent.

Almost a year has passed since the space-time clock was invented. I never thought that it would see the day when the numbers would change.

Doesn't this mean...

The curvature of spacetime,

Space-time coordinates,

The butterfly effect of time and space changes,

They’re all here!
"How many?"

Lin Xian urged:
"Stop howling and tell me how much you have become!"

"42!"

Liu Feng shouted excitedly:
“【0.0000042】！”

……

Suburbs of Donghai.

The girl who was running for her life suddenly felt weak all over.

Can't run anymore.

I feel dizzy too.

She had no choice but to stop and stand on the road, staggering.

The night wind blew across the ends of her neck-length hair, causing it to sway.

Feeling dizzy.

She had never been so weak.

I felt as if there were faint blue stardust flying away from me in the wind...

My arms seem thinner.

The muscle lines in the calves are also gone.

Her face was a little tense.

She reached out and touched it.

It’s so strange…After I traveled through time, my jawline wasn’t like this.

I touched my face again...why did it become smaller?

The clothes also became loose and could not even hang on the shoulders.

What happened to yourself?
The girl saw a small puddle on the road.

I hurried over and used the water as a mirror to look at my reflection...

This.

This is the original me!
How did my appearance change back?

How come the appearance-changing effect brought about by the space-time rejection... completely disappeared? !

eye.

Your own eyes!
She stared with her eyes wide open, watching the bright blue light reflected on the water gradually extinguish...

Turns into crystal blue,

Turns light blue,

Becoming a halo that seems to be there and not there,

Eventually... it disappeared.

Her mind suddenly went blank, and all her senses and memories disappeared.

She even forgot who she was.

The world tilted and she leaned towards her reflection in the small pool.

thump.

With a dull thud, the petite girl, wearing slightly loose clothes, fell into the pool.

Slowly...

Closed his black eyes.

hum...

hum...

hum-

The low and steady engine sound is unusually loud in this quiet and deserted suburb.

A Hongqi sedan with an extremely rare license plate color and number, with blazing matrix headlights on, was driving on a deserted narrow road.

"Well... our villa in the East China Sea... is it that far away?"

Zhao Ruihai looked at the navigation route on the center console in disbelief:
"Although I haven't been here for several years, why do I remember it not being so remote?"

"It must be correct. This is the route navigation sent by the butler."

Yan Mei, who was sitting next to him in the passenger seat, rolled her eyes at him:
"I told you to let the driver pick you up, but you insisted on driving yourself. Don't take me to the ravine."

"If you use drivers during working hours, how can you let them drive during vacation time?"

Zhao Ruihai said rigorously:
"There are regulations for this, and I have to set an example myself. This is different from a business."

"After dinner, my daughter asked her driver to take you there, but you insisted on driving yourself," Yan Mei complained.

"Well, don't mention her to him."

Zhao Ruihai looked disgusted:
"I get angry when I mention her. If the family planning policy hadn't been so strict back then, she would have had one more child... I saw a saying on the Internet a few days ago that there are three things that are unfilial in the new era: not taking a civil service exam, not getting married, and not having children. But Yingjun has all three."

He turned his head and looked at the navigation again:
"Oh, I see. There must be some temporary road repairs over there, so the navigation directed the route here. We have to take a detour."

"Then drive slower. You are not familiar with the road, so drive slower." Yan Mei lowered the car window and felt the breeze from the field:
"There are no street lights on this country road, so there are probably cows and sheep here and there! Stop the car, Lao Zhao! Brake! There's someone ahead!"

squeak----

Under the illumination of the matrix headlights, Zhao Ruihai immediately saw a person lying on the road.

He slammed on the brakes.

Fortunately, the car was not going very fast to begin with, so it stopped in time.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei sat up straight and looked through the windshield at the road illuminated by the bright headlights. There was a small black puddle... and in the puddle, lying a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old.

"How is this going?"

Zhao Ruihai frowned immediately:
"Did something happen?"

Without saying a word, he opened the car door, and Yan Mei got out from the other side. The two of them came to the small puddle, and without caring that the little girl was covered in dirty mud, they picked her up and held her in their arms:
"Little girl? Little girl? Wake up...are you okay? You—"

For an instant.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei were both stunned.

After lifting the little girl up in their arms, the car headlights shone on the little girl's face and her features emerged...the couple both opened their eyes wide, unable to believe it!

The two looked at each other.

He took another deep breath and looked back at the little girl's face...

Those delicate eyebrows, upturned eyebrows, delicate cheeks, high nose bridge and round nose tip, bright red cherry lips, clear and smooth jawline, and a delicate oval face!

This face!

This face is so familiar! The old couple have seen it since they were young!

Zhao Ruihai swallowed his saliva and looked at his lover:

"Look at this little girl... isn't she..."

Yan Mei had a complicated expression, pursed her lips, and nodded:
"This facial features... are exactly the same as when Yingjun was a child!"
