As long as you can find a way to meet with Jask alone, we can set a trap, create a snare, try to kill him, and thereby prevent the time-space assassin’s loop from closing, eliminating it.”
“If we don’t use this method, I really can’t think of another way to deal with the time-space assassin.
Lin Xian, you really can’t hesitate anymore.
Jask is the one who sent the time-space assassin to kill you.
Even if you negotiate with him sincerely, won’t he lie and deceive you?”
“Trust me…
killing Jask in China is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us.
Currently, the position of the time-space assassin is still hovering over the ocean outside of Donghai City, she probably encountered some trouble and can’t infiltrate for the time being.”
“It’s now a race against time.
If you can kill Jask before the time-space assassin enters Donghai City, before meeting with Jask, then you will have eliminated your greatest danger, and my mission and duty will also be completed.
It’s hard to imagine, if we don’t seize this opportunity and let Jask escape, letting the time-space assassin continue to pursue you…
how awful things could become.”
“If I could always protect you, it would be fine, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

What if one day I suddenly disappear, or I am defeated by enemies…
Without someone equal to the time-space assassin to protect you, and no one to constantly inform you of the time-space assassin’s position, Lin Xian, how will you cope?”
…
Listening to Yu Xi’s words.
Lin Xian turned his head.
He withdrew his gaze from the night view of Donghai City and looked at Yu Xi in the room:
“Don’t worry, I have my own measures.”
Yu Xi nodded:
“I hope you can get rid of Jask and the time-space assassin soon.
Naturally, I also hope your friend Angelica remains unharmed…
but we must prioritize the bigger picture and not let Angelica’s situation affect our plan to kill Jask.”
“Don’t go soft, Lin Xian.
If I could go and kill Jask for you, I would have done it long ago, but this is a task that only you can complete; just like you killed Kevin Walker, kill Jask cleanly and decisively, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.”
Having said that,
Yu Xi went to his room to wash up and sleep.
Lin Xian watched the closing door of Yu Xi’s room, resting his chin in his hand, thinking.
He was not unable to understand Yu Xi’s earnest persuasion.
However…
During this time,
he had always felt that there was something, something very important that he had not figured out.
It seemed like he had overlooked something crucial.
Thus making the current predicament confusing.
What was it?
He recalled Huang Que’s final lesson in Copenhagen, given at the cost of his life;
the two questions left to him in his last moments, a piece of advice;
the address of Kevin Walker he received from Jask, and the digital life, Turing, eager to kill Kevin Walker;
the time-space assassin who killed Huang Que in front of him, not even glancing at him, yet tirelessly pursuing him between East Sea and Mi Country;
[It always feels like something is off.]
[It feels like there’s a huge puzzle missing the most crucial piece.]
What was it?
Lin Xian turned around, standing beside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gazing at the moonlight bright in the sky, and the brightly lit international metropolis below…
“What is it?”
Lin Xian asked himself:
“The missing piece of the puzzle…
where is it, exactly?”
…
East Sea, New Port Area, Tesla Super Factory.
“Jask, this isn’t what we agreed upon.”
In a building inside.
Angelica was once again under house arrest, with those two familiar female bodyguards and Jask appearing in the living room announcing her journey of freedom was over.
“Jask, you clearly said you would take me to see Lin Xian, and that’s why I came to China with you.”
Angelica glared at Jask:
“Are you going back on your word so quickly?”
“Don’t be so agitated, Angelica.”
Jask smiled slightly, setting the small refrigerator he was holding in the corner of the living room.
Brushing off the dust from his hands:
“I have always said, I am a man of my word.
I will naturally take you to see Lin Xian, and then explain everything.
But…
not tomorrow morning, rather tomorrow evening.”
Angelica narrowed her eyes:
“What do you mean?
Tomorrow morning at Donghai University Affiliated Hospital, when you’re giving that little girl named Xiangyue the boat ticket…
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝘨𝗼.co
are you going to meet Lin Xian alone?”
“Why aren’t you taking me with you?
Are you planning to use me as chips, as bait, to deceive Lin Xian?”
Jask shook his head:
“No…”
He said softly:
“Perhaps there are indeed some misunderstandings between me and Lin Xian…
but honestly, I have no hostility towards Lin Xian.
It’s just…”
He looked down again at the small white refrigerator in the corner of the living room:
“I’m just missing the final piece of the puzzle to clarify everything, that’s all.”
“And that piece of the puzzle, come tomorrow…”
“will be delivered into my hands automatically!”
