Lin Xian was in the villa’s bedroom, watching over his sleeping female secretary.
From the outside living room to the entrance door, a loud knocking sound erupted.
Lin Xian, gripping his handgun, checked that the safety was off and moved from the bedroom to behind the living room door.
He did not approach, nor did he look through the peephole, maintaining a safe distance to draw his gun:
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Lin Xian.”
From outside, Yu Xi’s voice came through.
Only then did Lin Xian somewhat relax, but he still did not lower his gun.
He walked to the door and looked through the peephole…
Indeed, only Yu Xi stood outside, her bright blue eyes focusing on the peephole as well.
Click.
Lin Xian opened the door and let Yu Xi in.
“Lin Xian, the Time-Space Assassin has followed us.”

As soon as she entered, Yu Xi hurriedly said:“I can feel it, her speed is so fast, she must have taken a plane from New Jersey to Texas, and now she’s coming this way from an airport not too far from us.”
“She approaches quickly, probably by taking public transport or driving a car herself.”
Lin Xian frowned:
“Can you roughly infer her intended direction?
Is she coming towards us?
Or maybe towards Angelica’s direction, Jask’s rocket launch base?”
“If the Time-Space Assassin’s destination is Jask’s rocket launch base, we must notify Angelica to retreat immediately.”
Yu Xi had already told herself, those of them who came from the future as Space-Time Travelers, their vision, hearing, smell, and even brain analysis capabilities…
were all enhanced by drugs, and Angelica’s disguise could be seen through in an instant.
Of course, that’s assuming the Time-Space Assassin had seen the female secretary before and knew her real appearance; but there was no question about that, the female secretary and the Time-Space Assassin must have met, otherwise how could Angelica’s “Lolita complex intelligence” have been gathered?
So, if Angelica was in danger, she must send her a message to her phone, warning her to retreat.
“I can’t be sure yet.”
Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian and shook her head:
“Until the moment she is close enough, no one knows which direction the Time-Space Assassin will turn.
We are not far from Jask’s rocket launch base…
If you ask me to judge the Time-Space Assassin’s target now based on Spatio-Temporal Resonance, I really can’t be clear.”
“How much longer, or how far from us do you need to be to precisely determine the Time-Space Assassin’s target?”
“About half an hour should be enough,” Yu Xi replied:
“In half an hour, the Time-Space Assassin will be close enough to me.
Several tens of kilometers, then, based on whether she turns south, we will know whether her target is to come for us or to be recalled by Jask.”
Several tens of kilometers…
Lin Xian calculated that even if the vehicle was driven fast, it would take half an hour for this distance, which meant that there was still time for Angelica to retreat.
“Then continue monitoring the position and movements of the Time-Space Assassin and report back to me as soon as you have a conclusion.”
“Angelica said that unless it’s extremely urgent, do not message her to avoid exposing her.
So, I’ll wait until I’m sure of the Time-Space Assassin’s intentions before texting Angelica about the situation.”
After listening to Lin Xian’s instructions, Yu Xi nodded and found a place to sit in the living room.
Then, seeing the black briefcase with the handgun and magazines on the table, she quickly stood up, filled two magazines with bullets, and, together with another black handgun, slipped them into her track suit pockets, ready for action.
Lin Xian then returned to the villa’s bedroom.
Looking at the large bed, the female secretary was still deep in sleep.
He approached the bedside table and checked the items placed on it.
Aside from Angelica’s props, there was a small bottle with white medication.
Lin Xian picked it up and looked at the instructions.
He didn’t recognize the name of the drug, but he could understand the instructions for use and purpose; it was some sort of sleep aid, perhaps akin to a sleeping pill?
He wasn’t sure if the small pills inside matched the outer bottle…
because Lin Xian instinctively felt that mere sleeping pills shouldn’t have such a powerful sleeping effect.
The female secretary, wrapped in a blanket and sound asleep, really was sleeping like a log, with the same position undisturbed for a long while.
If not for the rhythmic rise and fall of the blanket and the faint breathing sounds, Lin Xian would really suspect the female secretary was dead…
About fifteen minutes later, Yu Xi walked in from the living room, her gaze serious:
“Lin Xian, it’s confirmed, the Time-Space Assassin is headed our way, she didn’t turn towards the south to the Starship Rocket Launch Base, but is coming straight for us, and her speed is getting faster.
I estimate it won’t take half an hour for her to reach us.”
“We now need to decide on a plan, whether to ambush here and fight the Time-Space Assassin; or to drive away and continue our escape.
We need to make a decision now.”
Lin Xian nodded.
He had already devised a plan:
“Now is not the time to confront the Time-Space Assassin head on.”
“Firstly, only you can harm her due to some bizarre restrictions from the Space-time Law, and I am completely unable to touch her.

In such circumstances, even though you are armed, you cannot have an upper hand because no one can guarantee that the Time-Space Assassin doesn’t have a gun.”
