“If you can win, great, everyone’s happy; but if you happen to lose…
then I’ll be down one helper, and the loss would outweigh the gain.”
“The best case scenario is that we use the intelligence gathered by Angelica to figure out why the Time-Space Assassin is not bound by the Space-time Law.
Once we find out the reason, we might just have the right remedy to counter it!
Then…
I can join the fight too.
With my gun skills, and our 2-on-1 advantage, we can definitely take out that Time-Space Assassin without fail.”
“Another point to consider is that we’re currently in Cameron County.
There are many people here, and the population is dense; if a fight, or rather a gunfight, were to occur here, it would inevitably draw the intervention of the Mi Country police.
If they catch us, with billionaire Jask manipulating things behind the scenes, we would have no way out.”
“So, for now, let’s avoid battle.
When the time is right in the future and we have a chance of winning, we’ll figure out how to take out the Time-Space Assassin with a 2-on-1 approach.”
“Okay.”

Yu Xi answered curtly and decisively.She agreed with Lin Xian’s analysis:
“Then I’ll go to the garage and drive out the secretary’s other car.
It’s a Mi muscle car with a lot of horsepower, superb for both off-road and high-speed performance, much better than our old manual sedan.”
“You better send a message to Angelica too, tell her we’re leaving so she can hurry back.
Otherwise, if the secretary wakes up halfway and we’re not there to control her, she’ll definitely call Jask to warn him…
In that case, Angelica would be directly exposed, and that’s even more dangerous than facing the Time-Space Assassin.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” Lin Xian nodded:
“Angelica had already said to message her if the secretary wakes up.
Now that we’re leaving ahead of schedule, naturally, we have to let her know, so she can come back as soon as possible.”
“Although, judging by the dose Angelica used…
I guess the secretary won’t wake up anytime soon.
But just to be on the safe side, I’ll send her a message.”
…
Texas, Cameron County, Boca Chica, Space-T Starship Launch Center, Scenic Iron Tower.
Jask stood by the side of the viewing room, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a pistol in the other.
Copernicus…
On hearing this unexpected name.
He was startled at first, then burst out laughing:
“Copernicus…”
He shook his head with a smile, strutted over to the railing of the Scenic Iron Tower, a little further away from Angelica.
The pistol was still aimed at her as he continued over the phone:
“It’s really surprising to receive a call from you, Copernicus.
So it seems, the woman impersonating my secretary was sent by you, right?
You managed to call so promptly, either you bugged her phone, or you put a listening device on her.
Tell me, what’s your purpose in sending her, and who gave you so much confidence…
that I would give you face and let her go under these circumstances?”
Afterwards.
The old man on the phone chuckled dryly and spoke slowly:
“No, you’re wrong, Jask…
I indeed have been monitoring Angelica’s mobile phone, true, but she doesn’t know about me, nor did I instruct her to go to you.”
“Today, I’m just a kind-hearted old man who can’t bear to watch a poor child, who has lost all her loved ones, die a meaningless death.”
“Heh heh heh…”
Jask shook his head, laughing, not believing a word of Copernicus’ tall tale:
“Copernicus, although I have never met you, I’ve heard about you, and others don’t speak highly of you.
Even…
it’s a bit bad.”
“I’m sorry, but you’re neither my colleague nor a partner I acknowledge, so…
maybe you do have too much confidence.
Your face isn’t as important as you think; it surely isn’t enough for me to spare this woman’s life.”
Even so.
The old man on the phone still smiled unfazed:
“Silly boy, don’t be so arrogant…
Arrogance is the foremost of the Seven Sins, the last mistake a genius should make.

Just like you, Jask…”
The old man chuckled softly and continued:
“[What if I told you…
that the little girl with blue eyes has deceived you, and she’s actually not your closed loop?]”
“What did you say?” Jask’s smile fell away.
“Think hard, silly boy…
Turing is much smarter than you think.”
“You think you’ve beaten Turing?
No…
all of this, it’s just a trap Turing has set for you.”
The old man cleared his throat, sounding a bit weary, and said:
“If after all this you still can’t understand, then there’s no need for further discussion.”
“I won’t deny, in front of the youth of the new era, an old thing like me doesn’t count for much.
However, there’s an old saying in the far land of China…
the older the ginger, the spicier; having an elder at home is a treasure, never underestimate the elderly…”
“I’ll send you Turing’s address.
The two of you…
haven’t you always wanted to get rid of each other?
I’ll solve this nuisance for you.
If that’s still not enough face for you…
I can only say, you young pup, you’re somewhat ungracious.”
Beep beep.
With that, the old man hung up the phone.
