Chapter 674
Chapter 674: Chapter 38: The Origins of Yu Xi (Monthly Ticket Bonus!) Chapter 674: Chapter 38: The Origins of Yu Xi (Monthly Ticket Bonus!) This is also the second possibility:
Kevin Walker’s death, like VV’s appearance and disappearance, and the capture of the Space-Time Particle are all set history, facts that have been determined to happen.
Therefore, from the moment the Fourth Dreamland appeared until now, all the changes that have occurred have proceeded on track with the original trajectory of history…
Since the historical trajectory has not changed, the Fourth Dreamland naturally would not either.
“Who exactly decides history?”
Lin Xian couldn’t help but ask himself:
“Who can manipulate history so precisely that it does not deviate from its course at all?”
There was not much time for Lin Xian to think.
Among the soldiers surrounding him, one disguised as a captain threw out an electronic warrant:
“Lin Xian!
You are now arrested by law for crimes against humanity, endangering Earth, and disturbing the space-time continuum!”
Lin Xian sighed inexplicably.
This was already he knew not how many times he had heard these charges.
Wronged, indeed.

He was the actual victim, wasn’t he?
The feeling given to him now was not that of a criminal…
but that a group of perpetrators of crimes against humanity, who endangered Earth and disturbed the space-time continuum, were relentlessly pursuing him.
Zzz—
The harsh sound of electricity, and Lin Xian’s vision darkened as he passed out.
…
After an unknown amount of time.
He slowly opened his eyes again.
Still shackled to a chair, still hooded with a black bag, unable to see the outside situation.
Straight ahead, came the dry laugh Lin Xian was already tired of hearing.
Then came the sound of stumbling footsteps approaching.
Swish.
An old man quickly pulled off the hood covering Lin Xian’s head, still with the same familiar face, staring at him with withered eyes:
“Now…”
“You are not Kevin Walker,” Lin Xian interrupted him.
As he had thought, Kevin Walker’s death, just as the digital life now known as Turing had put it…
Was set history.
Was an unchangeable fact.
From the moment Turing harbored the intention to kill his former self.
Kevin Walker’s death had already become an irretrievable anchor point.
This water was always to be spilled; it was only a matter of who would do the spilling.
Turing had told him in that basement room that even if he didn’t come to kill Kevin Walker, someone else would, someone was bound to come and it wouldn’t be too long afterward.
Even if he hadn’t gone to kill him last night, Lin Xian thought that Kevin Walker wouldn’t have survived the month, at least…
Jask would not have let him go easily.
Therefore, Kevin Walker’s death would not change the future, nor would it trigger any significant butterfly effect.
The unchanged dialogue of this mysterious old man was probably because he too did not know exactly when Kevin Walker would be killed, or who would kill him…
His former self had indeed been used by him.
But Lin Xian didn’t care.
Even if this mysterious old man hadn’t escalated matters, the entanglement between him and Kevin Walker was enough for Lin Xian to return a bullet to him.
Moreover, having a hacker who could infiltrate various surveillance systems, Lin Xian always felt uneasy and worried.
For now, at least, this menace had been eliminated.
It wasn’t that the old man had used him, rather, their goals had just happened to overlap.
But now…
Since the matter with Kevin Walker had been resolved.
Wasn’t it time to settle scores with the mysterious old man?
“You better hope I don’t guess who you are, old man,”
Lin Xian said with a smile to the old man in front of him:
“I’ve settled my score with Kevin Walker, next…
it’s time to settle yours.”
The old man was initially slightly stunned.
Then he laughed dryly again.
He shook his head with interest, his eyes narrowed to slits, looking at Lin Xian:
“Silly boy…”
He laughed happily:
“The real Hunter never personally enters the hunting ground.”
Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
A dazzling white light arrived on time, filling every gap in the field of view, burning everything to ashes.
…
…
…
Texas, Boca Chica Village, a two-story house.
In the bedroom, Angelica opened her eyes.
She got out of bed, put on her slippers, straightened her nightgown, and opened the door of the bedroom.
In the living room.
Two female bodyguards in black uniforms, wearing sunglasses, bowed to her:
“Miss Angelica, you’re awake.
What would you like for lunch today?
We’ll have the chef prepare and bring it to you.”
Unfortunately.
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝘨𝗼.co
These were not Angelica’s own bodyguards but ones Jask had hired, nominally to protect her…
but in reality, to monitor and place her under house arrest.
“The same as yesterday is fine,”
Angelica said softly.
Since that day at the Space-T Starship Rocket Launch Center, after her role as a secretary was exposed by Jask, she had been confined in this house to cut off contact with the outside world and to keep her from leaving.
She had been locked up inside ever since.
Since then, Jask had not visited, Angelica had not seen him, nor had she heard any news of the outside world or been able to communicate with it.
Jask had told her on the Scenic Iron Tower, in exchange for a very attractive chip, Copernicus had saved her life:
“I certainly don’t want to be criticized as someone as villainous as Copernicus.
So naturally, I’ll keep my word,”
Jask had told her:
“For now, just stay put here, and I’ll have someone take good care of you.
You won’t be lacking anything compared to your usual life, except you can’t go out or contact the outside world.”
“Once I am certain of Kevin Walker’s death, I will naturally release you.
Of course…
Kevin Walker is extremely cunning, and it won’t be possible to verify his death quickly, at least not until [the early morning of the 1st next month], when I can truly be sure whether he is dead or not.”
