Chapter 732: Chapter 2: 42 and Your Daughter (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter!)_6 Chapter 732: Chapter 2: 42 and Your Daughter (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter!)_6 There’s basically nothing else to say.
According to Jask’s theory,
Lin Yuxi’s immunity to the Space-time Law was entirely due to the peculiar properties of the Entangled State of Time-Space Particle.
It sounded quite reasonable.
But there was no empirical data; it was almost as good as a pipe dream, and still difficult for Lin Xian to be convinced.
Yet, Lin Xian did believe somehow.
Using up two Entangled State of Time-Space Particles in one go, kind of like a round-trip ticket for time travel, was probably credible, logical, and well-founded—after all, Lin Yuxi had mentioned it was indeed possible to return to the time before the travel.
It was just the matter of reversing cause and effect…
that remained to be verified.
Since the matters of dreams, Yu Xi, Huang Que, and his daughter were off-limits, there was no need for any further discussion with Jask.
So Lin Xian simply nodded and said,
“I think your analysis makes some sense, but…
this is ultimately something that can’t be verified.”
“[Unless someday, we personally use an Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, and travel back to an even further past, like…

1980, 1952 or something, to experience firsthand what it’s all about; then, taking advantage of the round-trip ticket, return to now, 2024, that would definitely bring the truth to light.]
Hehehehe…
ah.
Jask laughed in resignation, then sighed deeply, looking down at the messy little fridge with a face full of regret and pity:
“You think it’s easy, but catching an ordinary Space-Time Particle is difficult enough to witness; this thing might not appear even once in many decades.
Let alone catching such an Entangled State of Time-Space Particle with odds of one in several hundred million—it could be that from ancient times to today, there’s only this one…
otherwise why would Copernicus want to steal it?”
“I even suspect that these Entangled State of Time-Space Particles might also possess the ability for super-distance communication similar to quantum entanglement!
Two entangled quanta can achieve real-time communication across billions of light-years; so, could an Entangled State of Time-Space Particle possibly allow for real-time communication between the past and the future, spanning hundreds of years, just like a phone call?”
“I initially thought that the Blue-Eyed Girl with the ponytail had been sent back using this Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, so I eagerly asked her about it.
Her response was still that she couldn’t say, there was no way to tell…
I was quite disappointed at the time.
But now, looking back, she definitely didn’t know, because she didn’t travel back with my Space-Time Particle.”
“You’re right…
If we could catch another Entangled State of Time-Space Particle, we’d have the proof that at least we can travel back, and in the past, we’d be unrestricted by Space-Time Law, and no one could kill me…
I’d definitely want to [try it myself]!
Personally undergo a time travel, and figure everything out!”
“But…
where would such luck come from?
Otherwise, why do you think I said that I ultimately destroyed this precious Entangled State of Time-Space Particle to save you?
Ah…
It really hurt to do so, but actually, when I think about it, I could have totally chosen not to save you.
I could have used the Space-Time Particle for myself, to visit an era from the past…
at least to the times when the scientist [Tesla] was still alive, right?”
“It’s no secret, Tesla is my idol, I greatly admire him.
If there really were a chance to travel back…
I’d definitely go meet Tesla.”
“What about you, Lin Xian?
As the last possible member to join the Genius Club…
I’m quite curious, if you could travel back in time, which historical figure would you want to meet?”
At this question,
the first thing that came to Lin Xian’s mind was not historical figures.
It was Chu Anqing’s dimpled smile, the indifference of CC behind the Ultraman mask, and Zhang Yuqian in the photo wearing a Walkman and listening to music…
Historical figure?
He had no interest in meeting historical figures.
If he really had the chance to travel back…
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝗴𝘰.co
He wanted to see Chu Anqing.
And moreover,
to find a way to solve the Millennium Stakes!
Rescue Chu Anqing, fulfill the promise he made to Chu Shanhe, bring her back home!
That was all.
Suddenly, he really wanted an [Entangled State of Time-Space Particle].
To go back to the past.
He truly wanted to return to the past, to prevent all of this!
“Hmm?”
Seeing Lin Xian suddenly fall silent, Jask wondered if he had made the atmosphere awkward, chuckled, and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:
“Don’t be so serious, little brother, I was just joking.
Even if you allowed me to choose again a hundred times, today I would still have destroyed the Space-Time Particle to save you…
It’s what I owed you, both emotionally and logically.
Besides…
historically speaking, I probably couldn’t have protected the Space-Time Particle forever; Copernicus would inevitably have stolen it sooner or later.”
“It’s easy to play the thief for a day, but hard to guard against one for a thousand!
For humans to master Time Shuttle Machine technology, it would take at least a century or two, right?
I can’t live in fear for that long, can I?
So…
since I couldn’t protect the Space-Time Particle, let’s just flip the table—nobody gets it!
Nobody plays!
Better to be broken than whole if it’s flawed, at least Copernicus’s loop is undoubtedly thwarted!”
Lin Xian looked down at the small fridge full of trash:
“Are you sure…
the Space-Time Particle is already destroyed now?”
“After all this time, it must have long since lost its activity.”
Jask crouched down:
“Come on, let’s dump out the stuff inside, and see what happened to that Space-Time Particle.”
Lin Xian also crouched down.
Together with Jask, they lifted the heavy little fridge, flipped it over in the air, and released the broken stones and dirt spilled out.
Then they turned the empty fridge back around, peering inside—
