Chapter 627: Chapter 28: Lin Xian’s Historical Revision Chapter 627: Chapter 28: Lin Xian’s Historical Revision After informing Angelica of his flight information, Lin Xian hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.
As long as he could get ahold of firearms in Mi Country, his combat ability would increase manifold, and even when facing that young girl, he would undoubtedly be able to put up a fight.
After all, the years spent perfecting his quick-draw gun skills in dreams were not in vain.
However, as China was a country that bans firearms, ordinary citizens could not legally own and use them, which meant that Lin Xian’s skills were virtually useless.
As Angelica had said,
it’s different in the land of the free, in Mi Country.
“Besides, the bullets I need for this gun are not just for shooting at the Time-Space Assassin.”
Deciding to travel to Mi Country might seem like a hasty decision, but in reality…
along the way, it was the result of Lin Xian’s careful consideration and weighing of various factors.
There were three reasons that drove him to make this decision:
[The first reason, and the most crucial, was still the issue of safety.]
The fact had proven that the Time-Space Assassin did not strike at him abroad but instead pursued him relentlessly in Donghai City, resolved to take him down.
Although he did not know the specific reasons, deducing from facts, it wasn’t difficult to analyze that at this moment, Donghai City was undoubtedly the most dangerous place for him, whereas it was safer abroad.
This issue also left Lin Xian puzzled.
He believed there were two possibilities:
The reason she could act ruthlessly in Donghai was that Lin Xian’s death or control over Donghai was within the range allowed by Space-Time Elasticity, conforming to the set path of history.
The reason for acting in Donghai had nothing to do with Space-Time Elasticity.
It was simply because the Time-Space Assassin’s goal was to bring Lin Xian to a certain place in Donghai City, to someone in Donghai City.
Hence, compared to taking control of him abroad and then extraditing him back, it would be easier to just wait for him in Donghai City.
Both of these answers…
Lin Xian couldn’t yet determine which one it was.
Either was possible, or perhaps both answers were correct.
Staying in Donghai was not a good idea.
Since it was proven that Copenhagen, and even being abroad, was safest, why insist on being stubborn?
Life in reality is but once, and one must cherish it absolutely.
Therefore, for safety’s sake, the best decision would be to leave Donghai immediately, go abroad to a place where the Time-Space Assassin couldn’t find him easily or at all.
Space-Time Travelers could sense each other, something Huang Que had already proven to Lin Xian, and since he was not a Space-Time Traveler, that assassin wouldn’t be able to sense his presence; finding him on the vast Earth would certainly be challenging.
Donghai City was Lin Xian’s main base of operations, his home, company, and friends were all in Donghai, and she could easily ambush him there…
Just like today, it was extremely dangerous, hanging by a thread.
Lin Xian had also considered.
Against an assassin of this caliber, he was fully entitled to request national protection, and with his old friendship with Director Liu An of the National Security Bureau, he could even enjoy the highest level of security in the Imperial Capital, ensuring the Time-Space Assassin would not dare to strike at him.
What’s the point of such passive defense?
Under the protection of the National Security Bureau, the Time-Space Assassin wouldn’t attack him as she did today : she might completely vanish, not showing up at all.
What then would he gain?
And how would he break the stalemate?
In a game of Catch Me If You Can, a mouse can never win unless the cat gives up voluntarily, otherwise…
the cat can search a lifetime, but can the mouse hide for a lifetime?
This lesson was already proven in the game of Catch Me If You Can with the Seven Sins, constantly hiding was meaningless; to win, the mouse must become the cat, the prey must become the hunter!
He had to storm right into the enemy’s lair and take the enemy out first!
That’s how to secure victory!
He was certainly going to call Director Liu An of the National Security Bureau later, asking him to investigate this matter as soon as possible, to coordinate with Xiao Li, and see if they could catch that Time-Space Assassin.
If they could catch her, that would be great for everyone, and he could return to China, back to Donghai with peace of mind.
But what if they couldn’t?
Who knew what other tricks that Time-Space Assassin had up her sleeve?
The era she traveled from was obviously much more remote than Huang Que’s, at least a future where body-enhancing drugs and genetic editing projects existed.
Because that young girl not only had an explosive physical quality but was also extremely beautiful and alluring, both cold and cute – more attractive than the sculptures in New Donghai City and Rhine Sky City.
Comparing Huang Que and that girl, it wasn’t hard to guess…
Huang Que had traveled from a few decades in the future.
While the Time-Space Assassin had likely come from a few centuries later.
Centuries of technological innovation, centuries of technological advancement, space-time transmigrators sent back through time machines were bound to be different in many aspects.
The overall strength of the Time-Space Assassin would undoubtedly be much greater than Huang Que’s.
So, regarding whether the National Security Bureau could catch the Time-Space Assassin…
To be honest, Lin Xian wasn’t optimistic and felt the chances were slim.
Moreover, he only had one life to live, and as the situation changed with each passing moment, not a single minute or second could be wasted; he couldn’t put all his bets on the National Security Bureau and police forces.
