Chapter 680: Chapter 40 Paternity Test (Extra for monthly votes!) Chapter 680: Chapter 40 Paternity Test (Extra for monthly votes!) “If I could, I really wish I could kill Jask for you, even if it means sacrificing my own life.
Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian:
“After all, the mission of my time travel is to protect you, and obviously, only by killing Jask and destroying the closed loop that’s already occurred can we truly harm that time-space assassin and eradicate any hidden dangers to ensure your safety.”
I can’t ignore the Space-time Law like that time-space assassin can.
She can harm the humans of this era, but I can’t.
Except for injuring those time-space assassins who come from the future like me, I’m unable to kill anyone from this era.”
“So, Lin Xian, the only person who can kill Jask…
“This is something only you can do.
I can’t shoot Jask or harm him, otherwise, I would trigger a Forced Evasion at the obliteration level.
So if there ever comes a day when you truly must battle Jask…
all I can do is hold the time-space assassin back, while the bullet that kills Jask must be fired by you.”
Hearing Yu Xi’s words, Lin Xian laughed and shook his head:
“But we won’t get that chance.”
“The real world isn’t a Hollywood movie or a Wild West duel.
Jask will never give me a chance for a 1-on-1 confrontation.
He is, after all, the richest man in the world.
Sure, he did go out without bodyguards when he wasn’t aware of the danger.”
“However, now that he has dispatched a time-space assassin to kill me and got who knows what kind of intel on me from Angelica…
if he’s not a fool, he will certainly strengthen his security detail.
We won’t have a complete opportunity to make a move on him.”
“To put it plainly, the difficulty of killing the world’s richest man is not much less than that of killing a head of state.
At least in Mi Country, we definitely won’t get that chance; even if we do, there’s no way we can get away scot-free…
Would that not result in a situation where both sides are hurt, with no one gaining an advantage?”
Lin Xian laughed wryly.
Killing Jask could very well solve the problem of the time-space assassin from the perspectives of causality, historical loops.
From the moment of Jask’s death, an irreversible anchor point would be established.
At some point in the future, there would never exist a future Jask to send a time-space assassin back to the year 2024.
To Yu Xi, the existence of a future Jask is locked in, a fixed history that can never be changed.
Hence, Yu Xi can never kill Jask; this would be an impermissible space-time paradox.
If Yu Xi ever tried to change what for her is fixed history, the Space-time Law would immediately intervene, eradicating her with a Forced Evasion.
But it’s different for me.
This history, which to Yu Xi is locked, is for me a future that can be freely rewritten.
I certainly can kill Jask with ease, prevent him from living into the future, and thus stop a future Jask from sending a time-space assassin back, directly ending the slightly unfolded future narrative.
Lin Xian picked up his phone, reopened the Twitter app, and entered Elon Jask’s name.
Though Angelica’s Twitter hadn’t been updated for several days.
Jask’s Twitter, however, should still be getting updated intensely.
Just recently, Jask had tweeted that he had just taken off on a flight heading to Donghai City in China; he was preparing to personally deliver the ticket to the Moon for the tenth announced lunar traveler : the Chinese girl, Zheng Xiangyue.
There were many comments below.
Some were likes, some accused him of showboating, and there were all sorts of remarks.
Seeing that Lin Xian wasn’t speaking for a long time, Yu Xi hopped down from the chair across and came over to look at Lin Xian’s phone screen.
And she also saw Jask’s itinerary:
“Lin Xian, I think this is a good opportunity,”
“In China, especially in Donghai City, you are much more familiar with the place than Jask is.
If we are indeed going to make a move on Jask, it is definitely going to be much safer in China than in Mi Country.”
“Although, killing Jask in Donghai City will still be very difficult, but it’s at least easier than in Mi Country.
I have a good idea, Lin Xian, you could think of a way to meet Jask at an official event in a safe setting, and then find a reasonable pretext to get him alone…
invite him to an isolated place, and then make your move.”
Lin Xian turned his head to look at Yu Xi:
“Aren’t you oversimplifying things?
Let’s not even mention other problems, what sort of thing or information could I possibly have that would interest Jask?
What kind of temptation would be strong enough for Jask to meet with me alone in a remote place, knowing the risks involved?”
you’re right about one thing.”
“There’s indeed no reason for us to stay in Mi Country any longer.
The issue with Kevin Walker is resolved, and now it’s clear that the time-space assassin was sent by Jask to kill me.”
“Since the source of it all is Jask, we need to figure out a way to deal with him.
my departure from Donghai City to go abroad was to avoid this time-space assassin; I mistakenly believed because of what happened in Copenhagen that the time-space assassin couldn’t attack me abroad.
But as it turns out, this conjecture couldn’t be more wrong.”
