Chapter 391: Chapter 50 Until We Meet Again Chapter 391: Chapter 50 Until We Meet Again Lin Xian’s heart rate suddenly spiked!

With his right hand, he pressed the Bluetooth earpiece tightly against his ear!

In the noisy venue at that moment…

he could even hear his own breathing!

However…

After that sudden, intruding voice, there was no other sound.

Lin Xian slowly straightened up.

Was that just now…

Kevin Walker’s voice?

He had uttered the exact same line as the mysterious old man in the Fourth Dreamland.

Could it be that they had also locked onto him 600 years ago?

At what point exactly had he been exposed?

Was it from the moment he removed the mask of his decoy, or even earlier, perhaps before he came to Mi Country?

“Don’t panic, Lin Xian.”

“[We haven’t been exposed, it was I who deliberately let him in.]”

VV told Lin Xian.

The cacophony of electronic laughter that had erupted throughout the entire stadium indeed originated from Kevin Walker.

The reason VV was certain it was Kevin Walker was that following those data traces led nowhere, which was the best evidence that only Kevin Walker on this planet had the hacking skills to elude VV’s detection.

“But that line ‘I see you’ was not broadcasted to everyone; it was directed only at your earpiece.

I detected his attack and traces early on, and of course, I could have easily intercepted them…

But then, since he’s only attacking you individually, what’s the difference between intercepting and not intercepting?

Either way, it’s directed at you, so I decided to let him in and see what he wanted to say.”

“However, I’m quite certain that Kevin Walker hasn’t discovered my existence, and he can’t find me.

Hide and seek has always been a game where hiding is much easier than seeking, and that’s the situation between him and me right now; he can’t find me, and I can’t find him.

On the contrary, we have the advantage because I am well aware of his existence, but he is completely unaware of mine.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“I trust that you haven’t been exposed; you’re the culmination of humanity’s top technology of 600 years, so naturally, I believe he can’t find you.

But…

I’m sure I’ve been exposed, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said those words to my earpiece alone.”

“Moreover, there’s something I hadn’t told you before, the line Kevin Walker just quoted is exactly the same as what the mysterious old man said to me 600 years later.

Judging from the prosody and pronunciation habits, it’s highly likely the same person.

I’m a bit puzzled about how they could achieve this, how Kevin Walker could send information forward across 600 years.”

…

Lin Xian closed his eyes in thought.

It all seemed impossible to send information back in time…

If one had to say, there were only two possibilities:

1.

Someone like himself, who could receive future information through a dream-like state while being in the past.

2.

A Space-Time Traveler, who physically travels from the future to the present, just like Huang Que did.

Lin Xian admitted.

When he heard Kevin Walker’s voice in his earpiece for that moment…

His mind indeed flashed through countless possible traps.

For instance, the future Kevin Walker could have caught him first and then somehow, in a way beyond his imagination, passed the message to the younger Kevin Walker of the past, instructing him to kill him in the regular timeline…

just as he had always done, gathering information from the future to change the present and rewrite the future.

But now, having calmed down and analyzing the situation carefully.

If Kevin Walker had such capabilities, why would he wait until now?

Why go through the extra step of waiting for him to remove Johnson’s hood before he could lock onto him?

The Fourth Dreamland, to Lin Xian, had been a recent change just a few days past.

But to the world, that was a predetermined future 600 years away, with a whopping 601 years of developmental history, a long passage of time.

So.

The old man from the Fourth Dreamland must have known his name, the location of his reset point, and even the crimes for which he was wanted; how could he possibly not know his [appearance], [identity], and [historical coordinates]?

Did he really only discover the truth in the final seconds near 00:42?

If his historical footprint wasn’t erased, his notoriety in history would be significantly established; investigating him should have been very easy.

Suddenly, Lin Xian seemed to understand.

That old man definitely knew his appearance and identity long before 00:42 on August 29th, 2624; he knew all along!

“Tsk.”

Lin Xian clicked his tongue.

He had indeed fallen into a cognitive trap before; it was only after his mask was removed that he first saw the old man’s face.

Combined with the old man’s words, he had wrongly assumed that the old man also clarified his identity at that very moment.

But in actuality!

When the group of soldiers surrounded and arrested him, the captain had presented an arrest warrant with his clear photo and name on it; his identity had been thoroughly exposed long before that day.

However…

Even though his identity was exposed long ago,

And even though the mysterious old man knew his appearance and identity,

They were still helpless, not capturing him until August 28th, 2624, by ambushing his reset point.

Linking these clues together, they indicate two somewhat reassuring facts—

[1.

Kevin Walker of 2023 didn’t receive any intelligence from the mysterious old man of 600 years later (assuming for now that he’s the older Kevin Walker).

It was purely my own paranoid fantasy kicking in.]
