Chapter 651: Chapter 33 Jask’s Secret (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4 Chapter 651: Chapter 33 Jask’s Secret (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4 Lin Xian put his phone back in his pocket.

This issue indeed required serious attention.

When he met Angelica again, he would have to remind her that the time-space assassin with blue eyes could see through disguises, so if they were really going to get close to Jask, they had to be extra careful about any little girls with blue eyes in the vicinity.

If there were any, they’d have to abort the mission immediately, or they’d definitely be discovered.

Then.

He looked up, watching Yu Xi’s retreating figure, watching the pitiful ponytail that danced in the wind, the size of a fist:

“What are your plans next?”

“We must split up,” Yu Xi half-turned:

“My task is indeed to protect you, but there’s a big contradiction…

I and that time-space assassin can sense each other’s location.

As long as I stay with you, it’s like telling the assassin your approximate location.

In that case…

𝗇𝑜𝘷𝕘𝗈.co

it’s as though she’s obtained a compass navigation that can lead her directly to you.”

We’ll operate separately and maintain a safe distance to handle any emergencies.

You can continue your plan with the woman named Angelica, and my presence can serve as a decoy to lure the assassin away from you.”

“And if I detect that the time-space assassin isn’t taking the bait and is heading straight for you, disregarding my presence…

you don’t have to worry, I will immediately rush to protect you the moment I realize this.

This is the safest and most prudent approach I can think of.”

…

Lin Xian listened to Yu Xi lay out the battle strategy.

Indeed.

It was the safest and most prudent, and could also confuse the enemy to some extent.

After all, the time-space assassin could only sense Yu Xi’s location and had no way to sense his own…

as long as he kept his movements secret and avoided public transportation, the assassin should have a hard time catching him.

Because, unlike China, Mi Country has no Skynet System, and for some reason, there are very few surveillance cameras on the streets.

Even those traffic cameras are mostly for speed or infrared monitoring, and in the vast Mi Country, only 14 states have legislation allowing for traffic surveillance cameras.

In a situation where traffic cameras are so strictly managed…

Not to mention everyday surveillance cameras, which are often not allowed in many places.

This is probably one of the reasons for the high crime rate in Mi Country.

The existence of surveillance cameras is a double-edged sword; it protects safety but also invades privacy to some extent, depending on the trade-offs one is willing to make.

Many people from Dragon Country who come to Mi Country for the first time feel a profound lack of surveillance cameras on the streets, to the extent that they don’t feel safe enough.

So, theoretically and practically, the plan proposed by Yu Xi is feasible, both disrupting the enemy and concealing themselves.

Only…

Lin Xian recalled the last thing Huang Que asked of him before she disappeared:

“If possible, Lin Xian, I only want to ask you one last thing…”

The desperation in Huang Que’s eyes as she mustered her last bit of strength to say:

“Promise me that this time…”

“[Don’t leave Yu Xi…]”

Understood as Huang Que meant it.

This meant that in her timeline, at some point, he had chosen to leave Yu Xi?

And then disaster ensued?

Lin Xian naturally didn’t know what happened in the other timeline.

But since Huang Que had said so, he definitely wasn’t going to make the same mistake:

“That’s not going to work.”

Lin Xian decisively rejected Yu Xi’s proposal:

“We can’t split up.”

Yu Xi turned against the night wind again:

“That would be very dangerous for you.

I do have the power to fight the time-space assassin, but if you say the Space-time Law doesn’t work on her…

doesn’t that mean she could also shoot you with a gun?”

“Bullets don’t have eyes.

I can block a knife for you, but I can’t block a bullet that fast.”

“No, no, no,” Lin Xian shook his head:

“If the time-space assassin could’ve killed me with a gun, she would’ve done it already.

So far, though her methods have been brutal, she hasn’t shown any intent to kill me; I’d say her goal is to capture me…

That means her primary objective is to take me alive, not to kill me.”

“And there’s one more peculiar thing…”

Lin Xian recalled the scenes from his battle with the time-space assassin.

Her first reaction upon seeing him with a gun was to evade!

To leap behind the Mercedes for cover!

That meant the time-space assassin herself didn’t know she was impervious to guns.

The Forced Evasion took both him and the time-space assassin by surprise.

This was truly a cognitive battle that was hard to fathom.

No one knew the other’s details, and no one knew what hidden cards the other held.

Ah…

Lin Xian sighed internally.

If only he knew, he wouldn’t have shot, just brandished the gun to intimidate her, that would have been more effective.

Now, the time-space assassin knew about the Forced Evasion whenever he attacked her.

Essentially, he had lost another hidden card.

The upcoming battles were really going to get tougher.

He could only rely on Yu Xi to inflict damage on the time-space assassin.
