Chapter 8 Blue Snow Adds More Updates for the Alliance Master, the Still Young Old Man!

"Qiaoqiao! Let's get out of here first!"

After two confrontations, Lin Xian could already see that Lin Yuxi was no match for this blue-eyed girl.

The disparity in strength was too exaggerated.

Even if Lin Yuxi went all out, the other only needed to casually wave her arms a couple of times, and Lin Yuxi would be sent flying.

This blue-eyed girl, called Number 17 by Lin Yuxi, could be said to be a complete "Terminator." She was as strong as the Lin Yuxi who had killed the fake Yuxi before, far stronger than the current Lin Yuxi, who had lost all her future traits.

*Zheng!*

Another clash, sparks flying everywhere.

Number 17, a head taller than Lin Yuxi, pressed her pointed knife down with force, making the petite Lin Yuxi look like a small hamster being crushed. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Run first!" Lin Xian shouted, urging.

Fighting was definitely out of the question, but they might be able to escape.

Especially now that Zhao Yingjun had driven the Ferrari aferrari over. As long as they found a suitable opportunity, the three of them could escape in the sports car. This trick had worked many times in the United States.

These future time travelers were indeed powerful and fast, but human physical strength had its limits and could never outrun a supercar like this.

At this point, Lin Xian had completely figured out a few things:

Lin Yuxi had indeed regained all her memories, which was why she recognized this blue-eyed girl named Number 17.

But at the same time, she had not lost her memories as Yan Qiaoqiao. As a result, under the superposition of emotions, she had not chosen to hunt him down, but had instead come to protect him. This showed that he had been wrong in his previous considerations.

He had always thought that his head had been chopped off by Lin Yuxi after she regained her memory. But the opposite was true.

Lin Yuxi would protect him because she had regained her memory. The one who really chopped off his head was someone else.

It was this strange yet familiar blue-eyed girl in front of him, Number 17, the hibernating girl of seventeen or eighteen in the Sixth Dream, the village chief of Face Village in the Seventh Dream.

All the clues matched up.

Since Lin Yuxi knew Number 17, it meant they must be from the same organization.

Then their purpose in traveling through time must be the same: to arrest him or, in extreme cases, execute him on the spot.

And Number 17, perhaps because she only had a code name and no real name, harbored a strong sense of jealousy towards Lin Yuxi and had always held a grudge in her heart.

Lin Xian could see this too.

Therefore, Number 17 wanted to kill Lin Yuxi and inherit the name Yan Qiaoqiao. She had even stolen the family photo from Disneyland.

This explained why this blue-eyed girl called herself Yan Qiaoqiao in the Sixth and Seventh Dreams.

She was not Yan Qiaoqiao at all, but she had an obsession with names and wanted to have a name of her own. So, she stole the name Yan Qiaoqiao, like a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest. Lin Xian understood the whole logic. He never expected that of the four options he had listed, the most outrageous and first eliminated option A was actually the correct one!

Lin Yuxi and Yan Qiaoqiao were the same person; the culprit who beheaded him, the hibernating girl, and the village chief of Face Village were another person entirely.

After clarifying the logic, a puzzling question arose: how did Number 17 travel through time using entangled-state space-time particles? The entangled-state space-time particle that Jask had in his hand had clearly been destroyed. The "corpse" without energy was still in Liu Feng's laboratory.

Moreover, Liu Feng had just confirmed that the entangled-state space-time particle hadn't changed at all and was still in an energy-less state, making it impossible to use.

So how did Number 17 travel through time? It didn't make sense logically. Unless...

Lin Xian could only think of two possibilities:

1. At some point in the future, the Space-Time Police Department, led by Copernicus, caught another entangled-state space-time particle and gave it to Number 17 to use.

2. The entangled-state space-time particle that Number 17 used was the one in Liu Feng's laboratory. Although it hadn't recovered its energy yet, at some point in the future, this space-time particle recovered its energy and was eventually stolen by Copernicus and used on Number 17.

Only these two possibilities existed.

Considering the rarity and preciousness of entangled-state space-time particles, Lin Xian felt that they weren't so common. It was even possible that there was only one such particle in human history.

Then, the most likely scenario was the second one: in the end, he and Liu Feng failed to protect this entangled-state space-time particle, and after it was recharged, it was stolen by Copernicus.

Alas.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian sighed through gritted teeth. Entangled-state space-time particles were such a curse!

No wonder Jask destroyed it directly when he knew he couldn't protect it. Looking at it now, it was indeed a smart choice.

Since he couldn't keep it and it would be stolen sooner or later, he might as well destroy it directly so that no one could use it. However, Lin Xian and Jask had overlooked one thing: space-time particles could indeed be recharged! This meant that even entangled-state space-time particles that had lost energy and become corpses were still very valuable.

Jask definitely didn't know this.

If he had known this, he either wouldn't have given the corpse of the entangled-state space-time particle to him, or he would have gone all the way and destroyed the entangled-state space-time particle even more thoroughly, or simply thrown it into outer space so that Copernicus couldn't steal it at all.

In short, what was done was done.

Another space-time killer had traveled through time, and he had to survive this calamity first.

*Weng...*

On the other side of the road, Zhao Yingjun drove the Ferrari, skillfully drifting to turn the car around and charge towards Number 17 again.

As it stood, it was certain that she wouldn't be able to hit Number 17, who could easily dodge, so the reverse forced evasion wouldn't be triggered.

Actually, Number 17 could have chosen not to dodge, but this was her blind spot.

At the same time, it was also strong evidence that there was only one entangled-state space-time particle. Neither the earliest Lin Yuxi nor the current Number 17 knew about the reverse forced evasion.

Because there had been no experimental cases before.

He, as the only victim, had determined the existence of reverse forced evasion through personal experimentation.

Right now, he should take advantage of this information gap, and while Number 17 was dodging, take Lin Yuxi into the Ferrari and escape together.

"The Ferrari is coming! Dodge!"

Lin Xian shouted at Lin Yuxi: "Let's get in the car and run first!"

Lin Yuxi naturally understood Lin Xian's plan, using all her strength to exchange a blow with Number 17, then retreating nimbly to Lin Xian's side.

Number 17 turned around. The roaring Ferrari aferrari was already close at hand.

She narrowed her bright, crystal blue eyes, like a hawk, staring intently at the approaching blood red.

Then!

She leaped!

Instead of dodging to the side, she jumped towards the Ferrari!

*Dong.*

Number 17 didn't stop after landing on the roof of the Ferrari. She ran directly to the engine compartment at the rear of the car, raised her right fist covered in a black leather glove high, and hammered down on the engine compartment!

Then, with a *ka-*

*Ci la!*

A heart-wrenching sound of tearing metal.

The shocking V12 engine was actually torn out by brute force!

Various wires and oil pipes were ripped apart, and the red-hot cylinder block emitted white smoke!

In this way, the roaring beast instantly lost power and came to a stop on the side of the road not far away, stalling completely.

Number 17, carrying the V12 engine, walked over slowly and threw it on the ground with a clang.

She chuckled: "Run? Where to run? That sports car is your coffin!"

Lin Yuxi brandished her kitchen knife and charged forward.

*Dong!*

She was kicked back with great force, rolling several times on the ground.

Lin Xian quickly stepped forward and helped her up: "Qiaoqiao!"

"Cough—"

Lin Yuxi coughed heavily, spewing out the blood accumulated in her chest, staining half of Lin Xian's clothes red.

They both realized that the kick just now meant that the blue-eyed killer Number 17 was getting serious.

Before, she had been playing around, teasing Lin Yuxi, as if venting years of pent-up emotions.

But now, she was clearly bored and was starting to use her full strength.

Faced with a fully unleashed, complete, and strongest space-time killer, the current Lin Yuxi had no chance of winning at all, not even the slightest ability to fight back.

"Hehehe."

Number 17 walked over twirling the pointed knife in her hand, narrowing her eyes and revealing an excited smile: "Who should I kill first?"

At the same time, in the United States, Texas, Boca Chica, in a luxurious villa.

The female secretary inserted the key into the door, turned the knob, pushed up her red-framed glasses, and entered.

In the brightly lit living room, a man who looked nine-tenths like world's richest man, Jask, sat on the sofa with a pair of VR glasses on the coffee table in front of him.

"Oh, shit!" he cursed, quickly hiding the VR glasses behind the sofa cushions, and complaining: "Miss Secretary! Can you knock before coming to someone else's house? You make me feel very insecure!"

"Fake Jask, you really treat this place like your own home?" The female secretary pushed up her red-framed glasses and glared at him: "This is company property. Just because you're allowed to live here doesn't mean it's your home. Speaking of which..."

She pointed to the hidden VR glasses: "Why are you playing with VR glasses too? What are you doing?"

"I'm watching exciting little movies." The man laughed: "Technology is really awesome! VR technology is the best! Ah, no—what did you come to me for? Today is Sunday. Even substitutes have holidays. That's what we agreed on before. Jask also promised me that he wouldn't make me be his substitute on weekends. Even if he really needed me, he would give me time off."

"Hehe." The female secretary chuckled, leaning against the wall: "Jask is dead."

The man on the sofa was shocked. He stared blankly, mechanically turning around: "I... I'm unemployed?" He clutched his head in disbelief: "Oh my god, what am I going to do? I have no education, no skills, and no redeeming qualities other than looking like Jask."

"Only Jask could give me such a good salary and benefits, and the work was so easy, with occasional extra perks."

"But... but the boss is dead! What will I do in the future? I... I still have a mortgage on my house and car! I'm going bankrupt!"

The female secretary chuckled, pushing up her red-framed glasses.

Then she took out a small silver pistol from her pocket and twirled it between her fingers: "Fake Jask, I'm giving you two options now."

"First, I'll pay you three times your salary. From now on, you work for me, and I'm your boss. And what you need to do is the same as before: continue to play the role of Jask. Only, you'll be playing the role according to my requirements."

"To avoid exposure, I'll invite even better makeup artists and impersonators to make you look exactly like Jask."

As she said this, she looked up and down at the man in front of her: "Even though you look nine-tenths like Jask, people like me who are familiar with Jask can tell at a glance that you're not Jask. So, we still need to put in some effort with the impersonation, like when the Hollywood actress Anjelica did your makeup. It has to be that similar."

"The work in the future will actually be easier, because with your portrayal, Jask will have fewer and fewer public appearances and will gradually retreat behind the scenes. And I will step to the forefront and continue to implement spacext's Mars colonization plan. As for you, you just need to be a puppet who appears regularly and posts photos on Twitter."

"Then, the second choice..." The female secretary shook her head and smiled: "The second choice is to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you refuse the first choice, the bullets from this gun will enter your head. I'll go find a second fake Jask, a third fake Jask."

"I believe that the world is so big, it's not difficult to find a few people who look like Jask. Besides, based on my understanding of you, you're an unsuccessful person with a lavish lifestyle. You should have no reason to refuse three times the salary and an easier job, right?"

The female secretary thought that Fake Jask would nod in agreement like a chick pecking at rice. However, the man who was just a substitute sat on the sofa and showed a different smile.

The man spread his hands: "Is there a third option?"

The female secretary stopped twirling the gun in her hand, gripped it tightly, and narrowed her eyes at the man on the sofa: "Fake Jask, are you negotiating with me? Do you understand your situation?"

The man on the sofa sighed. His eyes became lonely: "Alas."

He pursed his lips: "I thought of many people, but I never thought it would be you."

"No wonder... no wonder my space-time particles will eventually be stolen. And no wonder my future plans will eventually fail."

The female secretary's eyes widened. Her red-framed glasses slipped from her nose: "You!"

She was about to raise her gun—*click*.

Behind her, a black pistol pressed against the back of her head.

The female secretary froze, turning her head to look back with her peripheral vision. She saw a woman who looked exactly like her, had the same figure as her, wore the same clothes as her, and even had the same facial expressions and details as her, holding a gun and looking at her with a smile: "Baby."

The woman pushed up the red-framed glasses on her face with her left hand and said in the same voice as her: "This time, I won't forget to push up my glasses."

*Bang!*

A scarlet flower bloomed in the air.

The female secretary, losing her balance, leaned towards the sofa as if she had been hit, crashing heavily onto the floor with a thud, her muddy blood spreading out.

"It's changed! It's changed again!"

In the East Sea University laboratory, Liu Feng hugged the space-time clock with both hands, his arms trembling as he watched the readings jump again!

This time, the space-time line curvature did not continue to fall. Instead, it rose again! In an instant, it became...

0.0000000

But it didn't stop, it was still jumping upwards!

*Dong.*

Lin Yuxi, who was sitting up in Lin Xian's arms, felt as if her heart had been punched by a heavy hammer. A flash of blue light flickered in her pupils, disappearing again in an instant.

But a brand new memory, contradicting the previous one, flooded into her mind: a militarized base, a training ground, an instructor blowing a whistle, announcing: "The final elimination round! Number 17 versus Lin Yuxi!"

"The two of you, whoever can defeat the other will be promoted to Level 3 agent, obtain the opportunity to use the only entangled-state space-time particle in human history, and carry out the most glorious and great mission!"

"Now, let the match begin!"

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, Number 17, who had been harboring resentment for a long time, immediately attacked with iron fists, attacking Lin Yuxi's upper, middle, and lower body.

Lin Yuxi knew that she was not as strong as her opponent, so she had to use her agility and tactics to win. Seizing an opportunity, she found a flaw in her opponent: "Behind you!"

She slid, sliding behind Number 17, and stood up with a carp flip. And at the same time as she stood up, she grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it at Number 17's face, not aiming, relying purely on instinct.

She was predicting, predicting that Number 17 would turn around. Sure enough!

Number 17 seemed to have been prepared for it, turning around to use a charged iron fist to bombard Lin Yuxi's face.

But...

"Aiyah!"

The sand accurately hit Number 17's eyes.

She closed her eyes tightly, her whole body slackening. Lin Yuxi took advantage of this opportunity, grabbed her weakened arm, and performed a smooth turning shoulder throw!

*Peng!*

Number 17 was heavily thrown to the ground. The agile Lin Yuxi immediately grabbed her hand, clamped her neck with her legs, and performed a cross choke.

The instructor blew the whistle hard, stepped forward, separated the two, and raised Lin Yuxi's hand high: "The winner! Lin Yuxi! Congratulations in advance, Level 3 agent Lin Yuxi! You will represent the future of humanity in battle!"

Lin Yuxi panted, not saying anything.

At this time, next to her, the base's chief female scientist, accompanied by two assistants, walked over, looking at Lin Yuxi: "Lin Yuxi, come with me." The female scientist's expression was serious: "In addition to what I told you before about the characteristics of entangled-state space-time particles, there is also a very important space-time characteristic to tell you."

"This is a top-secret matter. Only the final winner, the agent who is determined to be qualified to use entangled-state space-time particles, is qualified to know."

"Come to the laboratory yourself, and I will tell you personally."

The highest secret that only the final winner could know? Lin Yuxi didn't think much.

She followed behind the female scientist, entered the laboratory, and passed through a long corridor to the innermost secret vault.

Inside, there was a space-time machine.

Soon, she would ride this space-time machine, using the only entangled-state space-time particle in human history, to travel back to 2024 to carry out her mission.

The female scientist came to the space-time machine, turned around, and signaled the two assistants to leave. The soundproof door closed.

In the entire vault, only Lin Yuxi and the female scientist were left.

"This is a top-secret matter."

The female scientist emphasized again: "Besides yourself, you can't tell anyone."

Lin Yuxi nodded.

As an agent warrior, she naturally knew the importance of keeping secrets.

"Entangled-state space-time particles are very different from ordinary space-time particles. I have already told you these knowledge points before."

"What I want to tell you today is that after using entangled-state space-time particles to travel through space-time, although your body is still flesh and blood, it has a characteristic similar to quantum entanglement. Under this unique characteristic, you will exist simultaneously in the past and the future."

"We have also talked about this before. Entangled-state space-time particles are a round-trip ticket that allows you to return unharmed after completing your mission. A complete journey back and forth is what truly consumes this unique space-time particle."

"And if you can't come back, then this space-time particle is not truly consumed. It still has the possibility of continuing to be recharged and used."

"So, do you know what I want to say?" The female scientist said earnestly: "If, due to various accidents, you cannot complete the mission smoothly, then please leave this opportunity for us to use in the future. Do not rashly return and waste this only entangled-state space-time particle."

Lin Yuxi was enlightened: "Are you saying that you want me to commit suicide?"

The female scientist shook her head: "There's no need to commit suicide. We believe that you, who have passed through many selections, will not fail so easily, and it is even less likely that someone will force you to commit suicide. "But nothing is absolute. No one can predict whether there will be more powerful space-time travelers to hinder you, or even eliminate you."

"If this really happens, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yuxi's eyes were firm, without thinking: "Fight."

She said decisively: "I will do my best to kill the enemy and complete the mission. If I am no match for the other party, then I will fight to the last moment, with the honor of death, and without the shame of life."

The female scientist smiled, nodding lightly: "This is indeed the proper way for a warrior to act, but it's not smart enough. Remember what I said, Yuxi. Next, I'm going to tell you the most correct way to deal with enemies who are space-time travelers that you cannot defeat."

"Listen carefully."

The female scientist said clearly, word by word: "Space-time bomb."

She paused.

She explained: "This is a space-time characteristic that only entangled-state space-time travelers have. You can forcibly trigger your own state of dissipation, and turn every dissipated particle into an energy bomb for detonation. This is the so-called space-time bomb."

"The space-time bomb will not cause any damage to anything in this space-time, but it will make wrong corrections to all non-space-time things within the explosion range, allowing them to return to their original state. And for space-time travelers, they are outsiders after all, and there is no so-called original state for them in this space-time, so they will be reduced to ashes and cease to exist."

"So, do you understand, Yuxi? If you encounter an invincible enemy who is a space-time traveler, then bravely turn yourself into a space-time bomb and blast the enemy into oblivion."

"This way, you can kill two birds with one stone. You can not only eliminate space-time traveler enemies from other space-times, making their mission fail, but also protect the entangled-state space-time particle, giving the future more hope."

"Although the aftermath will be very, very troublesome... but we can find a way to recharge the space-time particle again, and send another space-time agent to travel back to complete the mission that you have not completed."

Sacrifice one's life for righteousness. Lin Yuxi understood.

This was indeed the best choice to maintain her integrity rather than be destroyed as broken tiles when the mission could not be completed, and it could also protect the precious entangled-state space-time particle.

"I understand."

She nodded.

Returning from memory to reality.

Lin Yuxi sat up from Lin Xian's arms, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

This memory had similarities with the previous memory, but in terms of results, it was completely contradictory and ran counter to it.

In the previous memory, Number 17 won and she lost. In this latest memory, she won and Number 17 lost. This meant...

These were two memories that were the same but different, belonging to different timelines.

However, all of this was no longer important.

She looked at Number 17, who was twirling the pointed knife and walking slowly. Lin Yuxi turned around and wrapped her slender arms around Lin Xian's neck, hugging him.

She pressed her head against Lin Xian's chest. "Papa," she said softly.

Lin Xian froze, his eyes widening. This...

This was the first time Lin Yuxi had called him Papa! He knew that Lin Yuxi had regained her memory.

But when did she learn about her origins? Before he could sort out the logic, Lin Yuxi stood up from the embrace. She stood in front of Lin Xian.

She squeezed out a smile, tears welling up in her half-closed eyes: "This time, don't leave me again."

After saying that, she turned her head and rushed straight towards the blue-eyed killer, Number 17!

"Yuxi!"

Lin Xian shouted, but it was too late.

Just as she pounced over, her eyes flashed with an unprecedented blue light. In an instant, her whole body turned into crystal blue particles, and her whole body shone with a crystal blue light.

Number 17's eyes suddenly widened: "How can it be! How can you—"

*Peng!*

The crystal blue bomb exploded silently, covering the entire East Sea City. The sky was filled with blue stardust falling from the sky.

Huangpu District, Xuhui District, Changning District, Jing'an District, Putuo District, Baoshan District... The blue light points fluttered down in every corner of East Sea City.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Bund, Disneyland, the Peace Hotel, the x Corporation Building, the city parks...

Every building in East Sea was like weeping, covered in a silver-clad blue.

These scattered stardust seemed to not belong to this world.

They sank into houses, walls, underground, and into traffic. People in East Sea's nightlife stood still. They all looked up at the sky.

"Is it... snowing?"

They stretched out their hands, wanting to catch these falling blue snowflakes. But they found that every piece of blue stardust could not be retained, dissipating, disappearing, and vanishing in the process of falling.

In the early morning of July 1, 2024, it snowed in East Sea City on a hot summer day.

This was a snowfall that lasted less than four seconds. Magical and beautiful.

At this time, in the East Sea University laboratory—

Liu Feng stared blankly, looking at the number of blue stardust that suddenly appeared in the laboratory. It filled the entire laboratory. He then turned to look out the window.

It was as if all the fireflies in the world had gathered in East Sea University. The sky and the earth outside were all crowded with blue lights.

And just a few seconds later, all the blue stardust disappeared. Liu Feng quickly turned his attention back, looking at the space-time clock on the experimental table.

The readings stabilized at 0.0000168

*Di di.*

An encouraging beep.

Liu Feng suddenly turned his head, looking at the small white refrigerator in the corner of the laboratory. He saw that the small refrigerator, which had been silent for months, had actually lit up its screen for the first time.

This meant that there was a change!

There was a change in the energy of the space-time particle!

Liu Feng quickly pounced forward, entered the password, and opened the password door of the white refrigerator—"Hisss"

A bright blue light rushed towards him, and Liu Feng suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Inside, intense blue light was intertwined.

Two small blue electric balls flashing with lightning, like being awakened from a dream, came to life!

They were violent, crazy, flashing with lightning, rotating around each other's central axis, rotating, rotating, endlessly, full of energy.

At the south gate of the residential area where Lin Xian lived.

After the shocking blue light explosion, Lin Yuxi and Number 17 had all disappeared. Lin Xian panted, turning his head left and right, looking at the blue stardust falling silently in the sky. He grabbed a handful. He didn't catch anything. He hugged his arms. He couldn't hold anything.

The stardust that covered the entire sky and earth dissipated as soon as it was touched, and disappeared as soon as it was waved away.

*Da da da da.*

Zhao Yingjun pushed open the Ferrari door with force and ran over quickly. She stared blankly at the blue stardust that disappeared in an instant: "Qiaoqiao?"

She called out in a nervous voice: "Qiaoqiao? Qiaoqiao?"

She was at a loss, turning around, walking backwards, walking sideways, running in front of Lin Xian, opening her eyes wide, looking at him: "Lin Xian... Qiao... where's Qiaoqiao?"

Her voice was a little scared: "Where's Qiaoqiao?"

Seeing Lin Xian lower his head, pursing his lips and remaining silent, Zhao Yingjun became anxious and her eyes panicked: "Where's my child!"

*Da.*

Lin Xian took a step forward and hugged Zhao Yingjun into his arms. Hugging her tightly.

"I'm sorry," he said softly.

Zhao Yingjun held her breath.

She had never seen Lin Xian in this state, had never heard such a voice. She then realized that that was her child, but also Lin Xian's child. His mood must be the same as hers, or even more so, even more sad. No matter how powerful a man, how excellent a man, how confident a man, there is a moment of weakness.

"I'm sorry."

Zhao Yingjun hugged Lin Xian and patted his back: "I'm sorry, I... I'm too anxious. But what exactly is going on?"

"Where... where did Qiaoqiao go?"

Lin Xian took a breath.

He let go of Zhao Yingjun, pressed her shoulders, and said softly: "She went home."

"Home?" Zhao Yingjun didn't understand: "Where is home? Qiaoqiao's home? She is our child, her home is here! East Sea is her home!"

"Lin Xian, don't lie to me. I am mentally prepared for anything, I can accept anything, but I can't accept lies."

"I'm not lying to you." Lin Xian raised his head: "She belongs here, but she doesn't belong here. She comes from the future, but she doesn't come from our future. You may not understand what I'm saying. Her name is not Yan Qiaoqiao. Her name is Lin Yuxi."

"Lin Yuxi..." Zhao Yingjun murmured the name.

She remembered the things Lin Xian had discussed with her, remembered the little girl in sunglasses from the previous oolong DNA incident.

No wonder she liked this name so much at the time.

No wonder she immediately imagined the meaning of giving the child this name. That was the name she had given herself!

"Then we..."

Zhao Yingjun's voice trembled a little, looking up at Lin Xian: "Can we... can we still bring Yuxi back?"

*Ding ling ling, ding ling ling, ding ling ling, ding ling ling-*

At this time, Lin Xian's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Liu Feng. Presumably, at this time, it must be that the space-time clock, space-time curvature, and world line had changed again.

Lin Xian answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Lin Xian! Something big has happened!" Liu Feng roared: "The space-time clock readings have changed again! But that's not a big deal. What I really want to tell you is the entangled-state space-time particle! It... it... it has completely recovered its energy!"

Listening to Liu Feng's roar, Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

So that's how it was.

It was likely related to Lin Yuxi's behavior of turning into stardust just now.

After all, that entangled-state space-time particle was Lin Yuxi's core, the source of energy that she was bound to when she traveled here.

Perhaps it was also related to the disappearance of Number 17.

In short, with the disappearance of Lin Yuxi and Number 17, this entangled-state space-time particle had recovered its energy again.

Was this a scourge destined to be stolen by Copernicus?

Or was it a valuable opportunity?

"Wait for me in the laboratory," Lin Xian said, hanging up the phone. He looked down at Zhao Yingjun: "Yingjun, listen to me."

His words were full of strength: "First of all, injustice has its source, and debts have their debtors. As Yuxi's father, I can't accept that someone has made my daughter suffer so much. If I can endure this revenge, and not avenge Yuxi, then I am not worthy to be a father."

"I've already thought about what I want to do, and I will prove it with my actions. This is the first thing I want to tell you."

"Then, the second thing is a promise to you." Lin Xian looked into Zhao Yingjun's eyes: "It's my fault, my responsibility, that I didn't protect our daughter, and I will take responsibility for it."

He bent down, picked up the family photo that had fallen on the ground. He placed it in Zhao Yingjun's hand and held her hand: "Don't leave Yuxi."

Lin Xian said softly: "This time, I finally understand."
