"That's almost it. Stop the car."

In the passenger seat, Yu Xi opened her eyes:

"The time and space assassin didn't follow. This distance is safe enough... Moreover, we won't stop for too long. We are just treating the wounds. I need your help."

"no problem."

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

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

There is not only a medical kit in the trunk, but also some mineral water, food, blankets and the like.

"Did you get all this from the female secretary's house?"

Lin Xian asked:

"I was so flustered all the way that I didn't have the chance to ask you... You know so many combat skills, wilderness survival skills, and vehicle driving skills at such a young age. Have you been trained in this area since you were a child?"

Yu Xi nodded and didn't say anything. He just reached out and took out the medical kit.

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. I'm more curious...the training you have received since childhood is to protect me during this time travel and go back hundreds of years ago. prepare?"

"Or... you have such an organization yourself, and have trained many, many agents like you. Just like in movies and cartoons... in the end, the best person will be selected, go back through time and space, and execute What about the mission?”

Yu Xi opened the medicine box.

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

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

"I can't speak."

"All right."

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

If you can't talk about it, then you can't talk about it. It's not that he doesn't understand the laws of time and space, and it's not that he doesn't understand Yu Xi's difficulties.

The other party was injured entirely to protect him.

Looking at such a young girl who should have been laughing and playing in school, now there is so much blood on her arms and there are some small wounds in other places...

He still couldn't help but feel distressed.

Time travel is a one-way ticket.

so.

Yu Xi's final ending will most likely be the same as Oriole, turning into blue stardust and dissipating in this time and space that does not belong to them, right?

This feeling is really lonely.

It is destined to disappear, and nothing will be left.

especially……

Lin Xian unscrewed the alcohol bottle and smelled the pungent smell, feeling something bad inside.

especially.

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

All for myself.

Yu Xi is fifteen or sixteen years old...

She must have parents and a daughter that others hold in their hands, right?

Inexplicable.

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

"Actually, it doesn't matter if my daughter forgets me. It doesn't matter if she forgets everything... She will start her new life. It doesn't matter whether she remembers me, her old father."

"But I don't want to forget her... I don't want to forget Yiyi. Yiyi was active and active only for a few years when she was a child, and I only have a little memory of her... I am not willing to lose any of these memories."

"So, I will not hibernate. I will keep the memory of Yiyi until the last second of my life, and I will also use the last second of my life to develop a better hibernation cabin for Yiyi."

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

…

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

Big-faced cat and his daughter;

Li Cheng and Li Ningning;

Chu Shanhe and Chu Anqing;

Every daughter is the apple of his father's eye and the being that his father regards as his life.

Just like Xu Yun’s affirmative words...

[One day, you will also become a father, and you will understand when the time comes. 】

"hiss!"

Hydrogen peroxide was splashed on the wound on Yu Xi's arm. It was as powerful as Yu Xi, and he couldn't help but frown, grit 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 help you debridement."

Lin Xian helped Yu Xi pinch the upper arm of her right arm, trying to help her reduce some pain.

But found...

Yu Xi was indeed stronger than she thought. Her muscles were so hard that she couldn't even press them.

"Fortunately, the wound is not deep, just a little deeper than a 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 put a bandage on her.

"One day is enough."

Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian with her blue eyes and said softly:

"Our body enhancements are--\u003e\u003e

There are many aspects, including the immune system and skin activity. This kind of skin trauma can almost heal in one day. Deeper wounds may take a few more days... but it won't take too long. "

"Fine."

Lin Xian wiped the blood stains on her arm with medical gauze, and then formally wrapped Yu Xi's arm with medical bandages.

After the processing was completed, Lin Xian twisted up the remaining bottles and jars and put them back in the medical cabinet.

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

"You are quite good at bandaging, you treated it so well."

"I also learned it on the spot."

Lin Xian put the medicine box back into the trunk and turned back:

"I am just more careful and careful."

He paused.

He hesitated for several times.

Finally...

He still spoke and asked the question he had 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 told me who my parents are."

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

This is a direct negative answer.

On the contrary...it makes Lin Xian a little unpredictable.

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

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

Yu Xi... Could it be that she is Huang Que's child?

And if she is really Huang Que's child.

Huang Que is Zhao Yingjun.

And in Huang Que's time and space, he and Huang Que are most likely husband and wife.

These clues connect everything...

Doesn't that mean!

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

This conjecture is too outrageous.

So much so that...

Lin Xian himself feels like watching a fantasy.

It is said that every father is selfish when facing his daughter.

Lin Xian also deeply understands it.

He does not think he is a saint, especially when it comes to treating his daughter... He is not sure if he will become a daughter slave like Chu Shanhe if he really has a daughter in the future; but at least from his current thinking, he will never allow his teenage daughter to be sent back to the past to perform dangerous tasks.

Let alone sending her back to the past to perform tasks.

Just talking about the training and selection stage from the beginning, Lin Xian's ruthless iron hand directly passed her.

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 never comes back to him, right?

No mother can accept this kind of thing.

If it was an adult daughter, it would be fine... She has her own life and her own choices.

A little girl like Yu Xi should be pampered in the palm of her hand, so how could she bear to let her perform a dangerous mission that could lead to death at any time?

Probably.

Only orphans can do this.

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

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

Lin Xian recalled the irresponsible conjecture just now...

Could Yu Xi be the daughter of Huang Que?

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

Could Yu Xi be his daughter?

This Lin Xian couldn't figure out even more.

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

There is a saying.

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 bloody gauze, cotton swabs, etc. on the ground, packed them up, and threw them into the trash can on the side of the road.

In fact, he still wanted to know the answer.

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 when Huang Que said the name Yu Xi before he disappeared.

Such tenderness,

Such reluctance,

Such nostalgia,

Such pleading.

If Yu Xi was really just an ordinary time and space bodyguard, Huang Que should not 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 continue on our way. We must be far enough away from the space-time assassin to be safe enough."

Lin Xian turned around from his thoughts, looked at Yu Xi, and nodded:

"I'll be there."

Forget it.

You can't figure out the answer to this kind of thing just by thinking.

[DNA paternity test].

This is the most accurate and direct way.

--\u003e\u003e

Wait for a chance.

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

...

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

It was still Lin Xian who drove, and he planned to drive all night and return to Princeton, New Jersey again.

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

The other party specifically told him not to contact her.

In this case, he should listen to the advice honestly and not contact her through phone text messages.

Otherwise...it's easy to get into trouble.

But we can't just leave it alone like this, right?

Therefore, Lin Xian planned to go back to Angelica's villa in Princeton to see if there were any signs of her going home, or if there were any clues left for him.

He yawned.

Not because he was sleepy.

But because he was tired...

These few days, although he didn't fly on the plane every day like before.

But the degree of fatigue did not decrease but increased. He and Yu Xi drove, drove, and drove almost every day.

From the east coast of the United States, drove to the southern border, and now they have to drive to the east coast again.

Fortunately, the highways in the United States are really straight and there are few cars. It is not very tiring to drive long distances. Just try not to fall asleep.

Through the rearview mirror inside the car.

Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi who fell asleep in the wide back seat covered with a blanket.

She was still dressed in the same way, and she was never relaxed when she slept. The Smith \u0026 Wesson M500 revolver was in her pocket and never left her body.

But there was a circle of white bandages wrapped around her right arm. The wound had obviously stopped bleeding and no bleeding.

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 jumping up and down with the ups and downs of the vehicle.

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

But her hair is too short, and she can't tie a ponytail. This pitiful short ponytail sometimes looks a little funny.

However...

Considering Yu Xi's identity as a time-space agent and the fact that she is on a special mission, she shouldn't consider growing her hair long, right?

Probably not. If she really ties a long ponytail or lets her long hair down, it would be a deliberate flaw for the other party.

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

The battle between these two time-traveling girls can be described as a step-by-step killing move, merciless. Any mistake will be caught by the other party, and then the sharp knife combined with exaggerated brute force will directly cut it off.

The battle of the gods, mortals should not approach.

"Ah..."

Lin Xian sighed lightly in the car and switched the headlights to high beams on the deserted road.

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

It was a pity that the time-space assassin was too weird. Not only was she not restricted by the laws of time and space, but she also made the people who attacked her be attacked by the laws of time and space.

What was the reason?

...

The next day, when the sun gradually rose, Yu Xi in the back seat of the SUV also rubbed her eyes and woke up.

She sat up and looked at Lin Xian who had been driving the car all night in front:

"Lin Xian, where are we?"

"We're almost halfway there." 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."

Yu Xi sat up from the back seat, touched the short ponytail on the back of her head, and tightened it a little... It was a little loose after a night's sleep.

Lin Xian glanced at the quartz clock in the car.

It was 10 a.m. in the United States.

It's almost time to fall asleep. At most, you will be unconscious for less than three hours and then wake up.

Now they have run so far, the time-space assassin should not be able to catch up in a short time:

"Where is the time-space assassin now? How far is it from us?"

"She didn't move."

Yu Xi crawled over from the gap between the seats and looked at the yellow sand filling the road ahead:

"She should still be in that city and hasn't left. It's far away from us. You can sleep without worry."

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

There is no way...

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

But Lin Xian's height is not good. She can't stretch out completely in the back seat, so she can only deal with it on the flat co-pilot seat.

Close your eyes.

Cover yourself with a blanket.

Yu Xi has restarted the car and set off on the road northward.

The shaking vehicle made Lin Xian, who was already tired, very sleepy, and gradually fell asleep...

...

...

Huh...

The familiar summer breeze, the familiar city noise.

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

He slowly opened his eyes...

Sure enough.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, this fourth dream was too strong! Too difficult--\u003e\u003e

It's done!

In this terrible dream where it was difficult to move forward, he had been trapped for nearly a year...

Even though there were so many changes in the real world and he had killed Kevin Walker, why was there no change in the fourth dream?

He actually thought of this possibility before he fell asleep.

Otherwise.

He wouldn't have deliberately delayed his dream until so late.

But even if he was mentally prepared, when he opened his eyes and saw dozens of soldiers with live ammunition surrounding him... he couldn't help but feel irritated and lost.

What's the problem?

There are only two possibilities:

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

But this doesn't make sense.

If the enemy never planned to change the dream scenery, 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 the changes in the real world.

In this case...

Now that he has killed Kevin Walker, who will these soldiers capture, stun, and take him to?

This question will be answered soon.

But at the same time, Lin Xian also thought of the second possibility, which 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 himself... to make himself put all his hostile targets and imaginary enemies on Kevin Walker. 】

This is the second possibility:

2. The death of Kevin Walker, like the appearance and disappearance of VV and the capture of space-time particles, are established history and facts that have been determined to happen.

Therefore, from the emergence of the Fourth Dream to the present, all changes that have occurred have occurred as scheduled on the original track of history... Since the historical trajectory has not changed at all, the Fourth Dream will naturally not change in any way.

“Who decided this history?”

Lin Xian couldn't help but ask himself:

"Who can manipulate history so accurately that it doesn't deviate from the track at all?"

Lin Xian was not given much time to think.

Among the soldiers surrounding him, a man dressed as a captain threw out an electronic wanted notice:

"Lin Xian! Now you will be arrested in accordance with the law for crimes against humanity, crimes against the earth, and crimes against time and space!"

Lin Xian sighed inexplicably.

He didn't even know that he had heard these accusations hundreds of times.

What an injustice.

He is the victim, okay?

What he feels now is not that he is a criminal... but that a group of culprits who are anti-human, endanger the earth, and disrupt time and space are chasing him, relentlessly pursuing him.

呲——

With the harsh sound of electricity, Lin Xian's vision went dark and he fainted.

…

I don’t know how long it will take.

He opened his eyes again.

He was still handcuffed to the chair, still covered with a black hood, and could not see what was going on outside.

Directly ahead, Lin Xian's dry laughter that he had long been tired of hearing came again.

Then there was the sound of staggering footsteps approaching.

Uh-huh.

The old man pulled off the hood covering Lin Xian's head, and looked over with the same familiar face with dry eyes:

"Now..."

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

It seems that, as I thought, Kevin Walker died just as the digital life Kevin who had turned into Turing said...

It is established history.

It's an unchangeable fact.

Ever since Turing had murderous intentions towards his former self.

The death of Kevin Walker has become an irreversible anchor.

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

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

Even if she didn't kill him last night, Lin Xian estimated that Kevin Walker wouldn't survive this month. At least... Jask wouldn't just let him go.

Therefore, the death of Kevin Walker will not change the future, nor will it trigger a powerful butterfly effect.

The reason why the mysterious old man's lines have not changed is probably because he doesn't know exactly when Kevin Walker will be killed and by whom...

My previous self seemed to have indeed been used by him.

But Lin Xian didn't care.

Even without this mysterious old man adding fuel to the fire, the relationship between him and Kevin Walker was enough to make him return a bullet.

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

For now, at least this scourge has been eliminated.

Therefore, it can't be said that the old man is using him. It can only be said that the goals of the two coincide with each other.

So now...

Now that the Kevin Walker matter is settled.

Is it time to settle the score with the mysterious old man?

"Don't let me guess who you are, old man."

Lin Xian looked at the old man in front of him with a smile:

"I've settled my score with Kevin Walker--\u003e\u003e

, next...it's time to count it all for you. "

The old man was slightly startled at first.

Then he laughed dryly again.

He shook his head with interest, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xian:

"Silly boy……"

He smiled happily:

"[A real hunter will never enter the hunting ground in person.]"

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

boom! ! ! ! !

The dazzling white light arrived on time, filling every gap in sight and burning it all away.

…

…

…

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

In the bedroom, Angelica opened her eyes.

She got off the 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:

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

But it's a pity.

This is not Angelica's own bodyguard, but one brought by Jask. In name, they are protecting themselves... but in fact, they are monitoring and placing themselves under house arrest.

"Just the same as yesterday."

Angelica said softly.

Ever since that day at the Space-T Starship Rocket Launch Center, Jask exposed her as a female secretary, so Jask locked her up in this small building. She was not allowed to contact the outside world, nor was she allowed to go out. She was kept inside all day long.

Since then, Jask has never been here again, and Angelica has never seen him. In the past two days, she had no news from the outside world and had no contact with the outside world.

Jask told her on the observation tower that Copernicus exchanged her life for a very tempting bargain:

"I don't want to be criticized and become someone as bad as Copernicus in everyone's mouth. Therefore, I will naturally keep my word. Copernicus in the province will spread rumors about me everywhere."

Jask told her at the time:

"During this period, you just stay here honestly, and I will have people take good care of you. Except that you can't go out and have no contact with the outside world, your daily life will be no worse than yours."

"After I am sure that Kevin Walker is dead, I will naturally let you go. Of course...Kevin Walker is extremely cunning. Whether he is dead cannot be verified in a short time, at least until [next] In the early morning of March 1st, I can truly confirm whether he is dead."

Later, Angelica was imprisoned here.

Jask is truly a man of his word.

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

Such as books, food, CDs, and even small pets... all the things she asked for, the people who looked after her would satisfy them and deliver them as quickly as possible.

only.

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 had a grudge against Kevin Walker, and Jask also sent Kevin Walker's address to Lin Xian.

You don't need to think about it to know that Lin Xian will probably kill Kevin Walker.

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

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

Angelica shook her hair and prepared to enter the bathroom.

At this time.

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

"Miss Angelica, Mr. Jask will be here soon. He said that you should pack up and prepare as soon as possible. He will take you out of the country."

"Going abroad?"

Angelica frowned slightly:

"Where to go?"

"Go to the Dragon Kingdom."

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 the door, 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, and blew out a puff of smoke:

"Jask, I did something wrong by pretending to be your secretary. But if you keep me here for so many days, it's fair, right?"

"The reason why I obey your words and am willing to be put under house arrest is just because I still have unfinished things and unfulfilled wishes in this life. It's not that I don't want to give up on this life."

"So, you keep your promise, and I keep my promise. I will wait until the early morning of the 1st of next month as you said, so that you can confirm whether Kevin Walker is really dead. By then, if you want to kill me, you can kill me. , if you want to let me go, then let me go, I don’t have any complaints.”

"But it's better to avoid accompanying you abroad. It's very expensive to have a Hollywood female star accompany you abroad... Even if you can afford it, it depends on whether I am willing. I'm sorry, but I'm not willing. "

"You would like to, Angelica."

Jask smiled:

--\u003e\u003e

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

Angelica took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled:

"You know what I want to know?"

"I have no idea."

Jask spread his hands:

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

"I want to know everything about Copernicus."

Angelica still crossed her legs, turned her head, and looked at Jask:

"That's the Copernicus who called you on my cell phone and told me what you know about him."

"no problem."

Jask didn't care:

"I will definitely tell you after the matter is completed. Copernicus is not my friend. I don't know him. Even from hearsay... I still hate him."

"It's just that I don't know much about him, just a few words from others. So you still have to be mentally prepared in terms of the amount of information and intelligence, which may not necessarily meet your expectations."

Angelica leaned forward.

Put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, twist it, and put it out.

After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head again:

"Then what do you want me to do when you let me go to the Dragon Kingdom?"

"You don't have to do anything."

Jask said:

"You just need to accompany me to 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 dare not see me, especially when there is a misunderstanding... Whether I invite him or he invites me, we will both think that this is a Hongmen Banquet and will not go to the appointment."

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

"But it is different in Longguo. Longguo is a very safe country. It is very safe for both me and Lin Xian. Safe. And my trip is accompanied by the Dragon Country official, which is enough for Lin Xian to trust. "

"I still have a lot of things to explain to Lin Xian. Some things I did, so I dare to take responsibility; but since some things were not done by me, I will not take the blame."

Angelica snorted:

"Are you so confident that Lin Xian will go to Dragon Country to see you?"

"He will."

Jask took out a ticket from his trouser pocket, with the words "Flying to the Moon" written on it:

"I'm going to Dragon Country this time to visit a little girl in the hospital first, and Lin Xian, he 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 12 million US dollars..."

"It's Lin Xian, giving it to Zheng Xiangyue!"
