Chapter 652: Chapter 33 Jask’s Secret (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_5 Chapter 652: Chapter 33 Jask’s Secret (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_5 So…
The two of them must, as Huang Que said, absolutely not separate!
“Yu Xi, could you tell me, what exactly is this mutual sensing among you Space-Time Travelers?”
Lin Xian asked:
“The friend I knew before never mentioned this to me, not even the existence of other Space-Time Travelers.”
“But that doesn’t really matter because I clearly understand the theories of Space-Time Elasticity and Space-Time Exclusion, so there’s no way she could have told me about it at that time.”
“However, now that I’ve come to realize this magical mutual sensing among you Space-Time Travelers, the current Space-Time Elasticity should allow you to tell me the details and the specific methods of this sensing, right?”
“After all, knowing the enemy and knowing oneself guarantees victory in every battle.
I must know exactly how you sense each other, how precise it is, if there are any special mechanisms…
and then, based on this intelligence, I can formulate our next battle plan.”
“This indeed can be shared.”
The short ponytail at the back of Yu Xi’s head nodded up and down:
“Because you’ve also mostly guessed it right.
The sensing between us Space-Time Travelers can be described as ‘Spatio-Temporal Resonance,’ which is a kind of sensation that is difficult to describe in words…”
“Simply put, to a certain extent, I can vaguely feel another Space-Time Traveler’s ‘general direction’ and ‘approximate distance’ through a sixth sense.
The farther the distance, the vaguer this feeling becomes, just like when you were in Europe; I could only sense two response points, one strong and one weak, both in the far northwest—the specific country was beyond my sensing range; I could only know the general direction and distance.”

“However, as one gets closer, the sensation becomes stronger and more accurate.For example, right now, we are only a few dozen kilometers from that Time-Space Assassin, and I clearly know that she is still near the outskirts of Princeton City, even near the burning Mercedes, not moving quickly.”
“Then, if we are even closer, such as both of us being in the same building, the sensation of distance and direction is very strong—I can even clearly know which room she is in, which doorway.”
“But, as I often say, this sensation is mutual; I can vaguely sense her location, and she can vaguely sense mine; when I can precisely feel her position, she can also precisely sense mine—isn’t this something you can understand?
That’s why I said that our fights are mostly fair with no surprise attacks, as we both know exactly where the other is, making it difficult for either of us to take advantage.”
…
Listening to Yu Xi’s explanation,
Lin Xian rubbed his chin in thought.
Indeed, as he had previously thought, this kind of sensing is not omnipotent; the greater the distance, the less accurate it becomes.
Moreover, since it’s an open game on both sides, being together with Yu Xi actually makes them safer:
“We should stick together.”
Lin Xian advised:
“At least if we are together, you can act as a search radar.
As soon as the Time-Space Assassin gets close, you’ll be the first to sense it.”
“Then we’ll fight if we can, and run if we cannot.
In a situation where she chases and we flee, mutual sensing is somewhat more advantageous for us.
On the other hand, if you leave me, I’d become too passive…
If she managed to ambush me, due to the inexplicable restrictions of Space-time Law, I’d be completely defenseless.”
“Alright then.”
Yu Xi responded in a soft voice:
“But I must remind you that because of the restrictions of the Space-time Law, I’m unable to inflict harm on anyone from this time-space.
If that Time-Space Assassin can find helpers from this time-space, then you’ll have to deal with it yourself.”
“Therefore, you still need to find a way to arm yourself…
This is also the reason I dislike using firearms.
Bullets don’t have eyes, and if a bullet I carelessly fire deviates towards someone from this time-space, I’d be instantly vaporized by the Space-time Law.
The cost is just too great.”
“The Time-Space Assassin must be the same, up to now you haven’t seen her use a pistol or cause substantial harm to people from this time-space, right?
Perhaps her secrets aren’t as exaggerated as you think—let’s take it one step at a time.”
“So, where do we go now?
Should we listen to your friend Angelica and go to Cameron County, Texas to meet up with her?”
Lin Xian nodded:
“Let’s go.
We need weapons from Angelica, and she needs our help.
This trip to Texas is necessary.”
“But considering safety, let’s not take public transportation.
Let’s find a car and take turns driving there.”
…
Subsequently, the two successfully “borrowed” an old sedan.
Yu Xi seemed quite skilled at things like this; her Harley motorcycle was also “borrowed.”
Lin Xian opened the car door and sat down inside.
His heart couldn’t help but lament…
It really felt a bit like back in the days, playing a real-life GTA, a five-star good citizen.
His tense strings of heart finally relaxed.
Resting his head back, he leaned against the headrest of the seat.
One could say this was the worst-case scenario.
Because Kevin Walker, Jask, these two big bosses, had taken a stand against him, becoming his enemies.
But conversely, it could also be said to be the best-case scenario.
After all, as long as it’s clear who the enemy is…
There’s no need to hold back!
His purpose for coming to Mi Country this time was to break open the situation, to achieve a breakthrough in both reality and dreams.
Looking at the current situation,
This path is the correct one, and it will eventually bear fruit.
Boom…
The old vehicle shakily started up.
Yu Xi skillfully engaged the gear, eased off the clutch and accelerator, and drove onto the highway.
Her body had been enhanced, her spirit was good, so she let Lin Xian sleep first and rest, to take over driving after he woke up.
Texas was still very far from New Jersey, at least a dozen hours away by car.
Of course, taking a plane would be faster, arriving in three or four hours.
But for safety, for concealment, they had to play the role of 21st-century wilderness couriers, riding southward, sword pointed towards the second-largest state in Mi Country—Texas.
On the road.
Lin Xian’s mind was in turmoil.
He was having some trouble falling asleep.
He turned his head to look at the focused Yu Xi, her bright blue eyes staring straight ahead as she drove…
He still couldn’t figure out the relationship between Yu Xi and Huang Que.
Yu Xi didn’t know either.
Huang Que couldn’t say.
He had asked Yu Xi why she came to protect him, who had sent her, and the answer he got was the same: she couldn’t say.
“Yu Xi.”
Lin Xian, with half-open eyes, spoke somewhat wearily,
“Do you and I, the two of us, have any special connection?”
“No.”
Yu Xi, her gaze fixed ahead and gripping the steering wheel, blinked her bright blue eyes, her voice without a ripple,
“Before I received this mission, I didn’t even know who you were, I only learned about you after reading some information on you.”
“Whether in my era or yours, today is the first time we have met.”
Having heard this,
Lin Xian exhaled…
As expected.
A completely negative reply.
Now Lin Xian could roughly judge the evasive communication style of these space-time travelers.
For many things that are completely non-existent, completely unreal, they can directly deny them, and the denial is very straightforward.
But for ambiguous issues that involve space-time and historical keys, they use “cannot say” or “no way to tell” as a form of expression.
Based on Lin Xian’s experience…
If an answer to a certain question is “cannot say” or “no way to tell,” it is safe to first assume that the question is true, is affirmative; after all, if the question were completely absurd, the answer should be an unhesitating denial.
Anyway.
If it’s not a complete denial, one can first assume it as an affirmative.
Lin Xian turned his head amidst the jolting and looked at Yu Xi from the side.
Watching her small, lively ponytail bounce up and down,
Looking at her cold, beautiful face,
Looking at her crystalline blue, star-like eyes…
“This matter of you coming to save me…”
He swallowed hard,
“Is it related to the Genius Club?”
Clang.
Clang.

The old vehicle passed over an abandoned railway track across the road, jolting both passengers up and down, up and down in their seats.
Yu Xi gripped the steering wheel tightly, steadying the car.
After a few seconds of silence.
She swallowed.
And said softly,
“I can’t talk about it.”
