Chapter 694: Chapter 43 Seven Sins, Back in Formation!
April 26, 2024, morning.
Yu Xi changed into the new casual clothes she bought yesterday and walked out of the suite.
Pulling her sleeves and adjusting the tangled hoodie around her neck, she was fully ready.
Her complexion was fair, with a slight frown on her brows, beautiful, cute, and tender.
Probably only the new human kind, who had gone through drug enhancement and gene editing, could possess so many adjectives of admiration at once.
This beauty did not belong to this era.
Just like her crystal blue eyes that remained dazzling in the morning sunlight, they were out of place in this world.
“Put on your contact lenses,” Lin Xian said while putting on his shoes in the living room, instructing Yu Xi who had just come out:
“The black ones, I gave them to you yesterday, remember?”
“I don’t know how to wear them.”
Yu Xi said softly.
Oh…

I see.
Lin Xian tied his shoelaces and chuckled.
Indeed, Yu Xi was ultimately a human girl, even if she was immensely strong, she was quite different from those Terminator robots in the movies.
As long as it is a person, there must be things they fear.
𝗇𝑜𝘷𝕘𝗈.co
Some tall and muscular men are afraid of arthropods and insects;
some fierce and vicious people covered in scars fear horror movies so much they cannot watch them;
Lin Xian remembered once seeing on Douyin, a tattooed gangster with a big gold chain softly collapsing while in line for a vaccine because he was afraid of needles.
Perhaps, for Yu Xi…
Sticking something black and sticky onto her eyeball was more terrifying than battling a Time-Space Assassin under the moonlight with bayonets.
When Lin Xian helped her remove her contact lenses yesterday, Yu Xi had even asked:
“Such a thin thing, it really won’t slip behind my eyes when I blink, right?”
Lin Xian had never worn contact lenses either.
But after thinking for a moment, theoretically, it was possible for that to happen:
“It’s possible, since the eyeball is round, and the corners of the eye socket are not sealed.”
He said truthfully:
“But the probability should be small, right?
At least I have never heard of anyone’s contacts slipping behind their eyes.”
That statement probably left a lasting impression.
Yu Xi, who dared to fight with the devil, really did not dare to try putting on contact lenses on her own anymore.
Lin Xian placed the disposable contact lens on a small suction cup, lifted Yu Xi’s chin:
“Lift your head, open your eyes wide.”
Yu Xi obediently widened her eyes…
Her deep blue pupils, resembling shattered glazed pottery, were so profound, like a swirling galaxy, almost pulling Lin Xian into it, falling into a crack in space and time, into a world from where not even light could escape.
He held Yu Xi’s eyelids, placed the pure black contact lens on her eyeball, covering those bright blue bulbs.
Upon closer thought, it was quite miraculous that biological cells could emit light like this.
But then again, in nature, there are many plants and animals capable of luminescence through energy conversion mechanisms, so from a biological perspective, it’s not that unusual.
“Alright, now the other eye.”
Yu Xi closed her eyes, wiped away the protective tears leaking from her eye, shook her head, and her short, cute, rounded ponytail like a hamster’s swished on Lin Xian’s nose, bringing with it the scent of hotel shampoo.
“Why do you tie a ponytail with such short hair?” Lin Xian asked, looking at Yu Xi’s tight hairstyle.
“Because it doesn’t need washing as often.” Yu Xi answered honestly.
“…”
Lin Xian was speechless at this unexpected reply:
“Well, it seems that even with such advanced future technology, with all that gene editing and drug enhancement, washing hair remains an unsolved issue.”
“After all, the existence of skin sebum has far more benefits than drawbacks.”
Yu Xi raised her head again, her other blue eye widened, allowing Lin Xian to fit the black contact lens:
“Besides, hair itself is comprised of dead keratin cells without any vitality or functionality; strengthening the roots is all right, but there’s not much else that can be enhanced.”
“If not for the need to disguise and avoid drawing attention…
I’d rather shave my head clean, without a single strand of hair.
That way, I’d never have to wash my hair again, just wash my head while washing my face; plus, in a fight, I wouldn’t have to worry about my hair being grabbed by an enemy, greatly reducing vulnerabilities.”
Thinking of a bald Yu Xi, Lin Xian found the idea somewhat amusing:
“It doesn’t have to be that extreme, you look just fine like this.
There, the black contact lens is in place, now put on your large sunglasses, and no one will be able to see your eyes.”
Having said that.
Lin Xian also stood up to put on his coat.
Yu Xi walked over to the coffee table in the suite’s living room, picked up the large black sunglasses placed on it, covering her face, thus completing her outfit to go out.
Today was the day Jask was to visit Zheng Xiangyue at Donghai University Affiliated Hospital.
He posted the time on Twitter as 10 am, and city officials from Donghai would also accompany him.
Lin Xian and Yu Xi planned to arrive early to stake out the spot, then find an opportunity to meet Jask in Zheng Xiangyue’s hospital room.
Yu Xi wanted Lin Xian to find a reason to lure Jask out alone, kill him, eliminate future risks, and completely solve the Time-Space Assassin’s assassination threat.
Although Lin Xian didn’t say anything on the surface, he understood Yu Xi’s somewhat cold approach…
indeed, it was the best and most direct way to solve the problem at hand.
