It’s another “I can’t tell.”
Lin Xian hummed lightly.
Since there wasn’t a decisive denial…
it was likely that Yu Xi’s arrival from another world was related to the Genius Club.
But the nature of the relationship was a mystery; it could be positive or negative.
The current situation was utterly perplexing.
Lin Xian felt the swirl of mysteries around him growing larger…
He had to break through soon!
“Then I’m going to sleep.”
Lin Xian closed his eyes and instructed Yu Xi:
“If you’re tired, just wake me up.”
Yu Xi’s response was short and powerful.
“Has that Time-Space Assassin caught up to us again?” Lin Xian opened his eyes again.
Yu Xi shook her head:
“She’s still lingering around Princeton.
Don’t worry, although she’s full of mysteries, she’s just a human of flesh and blood after all.”
“She can’t fly, nor can she withstand bullets.
Plus, I can sense her location, so she’s not as terrifying as you think.
Sleep peacefully; I’ll wake you if there’s any trouble.”
Resting well was crucial for facing tomorrow’s battles.
He glanced at his watch.
It was 01:23 AM Mi Country time, which was equivalent to 13:23 PM in China.
Going to sleep at this time, he was certain to dream.
But once he fell into a dream, unless it reached 00:42 in China time, or he died in the dream, he wouldn’t be woken by the outside world.
Such an incident had occurred when he was young; no matter what, his parents couldn’t wake him, and he ended up being taken to the hospital in fright.
After a thorough checkup by the doctor, they found nothing wrong and could only conclude he was sleeping too soundly…
Although it was rare to see someone sleeping so deeply, facts spoke louder than words.
But his current circumstances didn’t allow for such deep sleep.
If any danger arose and Yu Xi couldn’t wake him, even if she tried hitting him, he might end up losing his life.
He must come up with a solution quickly, die swiftly in the dream, wake up once, and then continue sleeping.
Fourth Dreamland was different from other dreamlands; it didn’t offer many chances to seek death.
His movement was confined, and once he missed the initial opportunity, he’d be stunned by electric shocks, leading to disconnection from both reality and the dreamland…
It was almost like actual death.
His eyelids grew heavier.
Lin Xian drifted into sleep.
The familiar summer breeze, the familiar bustle.
Lin Xian quickly opened his eyes.
As always, dozens of soldiers surrounded him, with more than ten balloon airships bearing the Tem Bank advertisement circling high above.
All soldiers tensely aimed their rifles with safeties off at the young man who had appeared as if by magic.
The soldier dressed as a captain was just about to step forward…
Lin Xian chuckled lightly and dashed toward his chosen target—
A soldier who was not very proficient with his gun, slower than the others.
He lunged straight for the muzzle, aimed at his own forehead, and with his right hand violently pressed the trigger!
A gunshot that shocked his skull, and everything went black for Lin Xian.
Lin Xian popped up from the passenger seat of the vehicle.
His heart rate soared, and he gasped for air.
Yu Xi looked over in confusion:
Lin Xian steadied his breathing and looked at Yu Xi.
That this Space-Time Traveler who had come from the future to protect him was unaware of the secrets of his dreams.
That was probably solid proof that she truly didn’t know Huang Que.
Huang Que knew every detail about him, including but not limited to the ability to dream travel.
But in contrast, Yu Xi…
Seemed to know nothing about his dreams.
Lin Xian hadn’t planned to most precious secret of his with anyone anyway.
“A little,” he replied casually.
Then he turned over and went back to sleep.
Once he “popped out” after dying in the dreamland, he wouldn’t dream again until the next cycle of dreams.
Now he could sleep in peace.
He woke up the next day, approaching noon.
Yu Xi was still driving in the same posture, not showing any signs of fatigue.
Lin Xian yawned and sat up.
He straightened the reclined seat and looked out over the vast landscape.
Indeed, it was all flat.
The highway in front of him stretched straight to the horizon, not taking a single turn, no wonder so many people said that driving on Mi Country’s highways, you could lock the steering wheel and sleep.
“Let me drive,” Lin Xian said, looking at Yu Xi:
“You take a nap and have some food.
By the time you wake up, we’ll be close to Texas.”
Yu Xi didn’t stand on ceremony and stopped the car.
Then she switched places with Lin Xian, letting him take the driver’s seat while she moved to the back to rest and sleep:
“That Time-Space Assassin is probably still in Princeton and hasn’t followed us.
Since we’ve increased the distance between us, my sensing has become unclear, and I don’t know her exact whereabouts.”
“But you can rest assured, even if I’m sleeping, I can still feel the distance between the Time-Space Assassin and us, and I will wake up immediately if she gets close.”
After speaking, Yu Xi closed her eyes to sleep.
Lin Xian turned down the radio to avoid disturbing Yu Xi’s rest.
He rested his left elbow on the window frame, propped his chin, and with one hand held the steering wheel that needed no controlling…
Through the rearview mirror inside the car, he watched Yu Xi, who was quietly sleeping in the back.
It was only then he realized that he had never cared to know any details about Yu Xi.
How old exactly was she?
Specifically, in her teens?
What kind of life did she lead?
Was she an only child?
Were her parents still alive?
