Chapter 35 My Name Is Copernicus

Dongdong!

Lin Xian was guarding his sleeping female secretary in the bedroom of the villa.

There was a loud knock on the door of the living room outside.

Lin Xian held the pistol, confirmed that the safety was on, and walked from the bedroom to the living room door.

He did not approach, did not look outside through the peephole, and kept a certain safe distance to draw the gun:

"Who?"

"It's me, Lin Xian."

Yu Xi's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Xian was half relieved, but still did not put down the gun.

He walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole...

Indeed, only Yu Xi was standing outside the door, with bright blue eyes, staring at the peephole at the same time.

Click.

Lin Xian opened the door and let Yu Xi in.

"Lin Xian, the time-space assassin is chasing us."

As soon as she entered the house, Yu Xi hurriedly said:

"I can feel that she is so fast, she should have come to Texas from New Jersey by plane, and now she is coming here from the airport not too far from us."

"She is approaching very quickly, she should have taken a vehicle, or drove a car herself."

Lin Xian frowned:

"Can you roughly infer the direction of her target? Is she coming towards us? Or is she going to Angelica's side, Jask's rocket launch base?"

"If the time-space assassin's destination is Jask's rocket launch base, we must notify Angelica and let her retreat quickly."

Yu Xi has told herself that the vision, hearing, smell, and even brain analysis ability of these time travelers from the future...are all enhanced by drugs, and Angelica's disguise can be seen through at a glance.

Of course, the premise is that the time-space assassin has seen the female secretary before and knows her true appearance; but there is no doubt that the female secretary and the time-space assassin must have met before, otherwise how did he find out Angelica's "lolita control intelligence"?

So, if Angelica is in danger, I must send a message to her mobile phone to remind her to retreat.

"I can't determine it accurately now."

Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian and shook her head:

"Until we are really close enough, no one knows which direction the time-space assassin's route will turn. We are not far from Jask's rocket launch base... If you ask me to judge the time-space assassin's target now, I really can't judge it clearly."

"How long will it take, or how far away from us, before you can accurately judge the time-space assassin's target?"

"Half an hour will be enough." Yu Xi replied:

"Half an hour later, the time-space assassin will be close enough to my position, dozens of kilometers. At that time, we can see whether she turns to the south or not, and we will know whether her target is to find us or be called back by Jask."

Dozens of kilometers...

Lin Xian calculated that even if the vehicle drove faster, it would take half an hour to reach this distance, and it would be enough for Angelica to retreat.

"Then you continue to pay attention to the location and movements of the space-time assassin, and report to me as soon as you have a judgment."

"Angelica said that if it is not a particularly urgent situation, don't send her a message to avoid exposure. So after I clarify the purpose of the space-time assassin, I will send a text message to Angelica to inform her of the situation."

After listening to Lin Xian's instructions, Yu Xi nodded and found a seat in the living room.

Then he saw the black briefcase with a pistol and a magazine on the table, and stood up again. He quickly filled the two magazines with bullets, and then put them into his sportswear pocket together with another black pistol, and entered a state of preparation.

Lin Xian returned to the bedroom of the villa again.

Looking at the female secretary who was still sleeping on the big bed.

He came to the bedside table and checked the objects on it.

In addition to Angelica's props, there was also a small medicine bottle with white pills.

Lin Xian picked it up and read the instructions on it.

I don't know the words in the name of the drug, but I can understand the instructions for use. It is a sleep-inducing drug, which can probably be understood as a sleeping pill, right?

I don't know whether the small pills inside and the medicine bottle outside are the same... Because Lin Xian intuitively thinks that pure sleeping pills should not have such a strong sleeping effect.

The female secretary in front of me, wrapped in a blanket and sleeping soundly, is really sleeping like a dead pig. She hasn't moved in this posture for a long time.

If it weren't for the rhythmic rise and fall of the blanket and the faint breathing sound, Lin Xian really doubted whether the female secretary was dead...

Ten minutes later, Yu Xi walked in from the living room:

"Lin Xian, it's confirmed that the space-time assassin is coming to find us. She didn't turn to the direction of the starship rocket launch base in the south, but rushed straight towards us. Her speed is getting faster and faster. It is estimated that she will reach us in less than half an hour."

"We must determine the plan now. Do we want to ambush here and fight the space-time assassin; or drive away and continue to escape? We must make a decision now."

Lin Xian nodded.

He had already thought of the plan:

"Now is not the time to confront the space-time assassin head-on."

"First of all, you are the only one who can cause harm to her. Because of the strange restrictions of the laws of space and time, I have no way to attack her. In this case, even if you have a gun, you may not have an advantage, because no one can guarantee that the space-time assassin has no gun."

"I think if you don't have an absolute advantage, it's better not to fight this battle. It's okay if you can win, everyone will be happy; but if you lose accidentally... I won't have a helper in the future, and the gain is not worth the loss."

"The best case scenario is that we first use the information obtained by Angelica to find out why the time and space assassin is not restricted by the laws of time and space. As long as we find the reason, we may be able to prescribe the right medicine to crack it! By then ...I can also participate in the battle. With my shooting skills and our 2-on-1 advantage, I can definitely take care of the time and space assassin."

"Secondly, there is another concern. We are now in Cameron County, where there are many people and very dense residents. If a battle, or even a gunfight, breaks out here, it will inevitably lead to the intervention of the American police. Really? If we are caught by them, with the world’s richest man Jask behind us, we really have no way out.”

"So, let's avoid the battle now. When the time comes for a battle in the future and there is a chance of winning, we will find a way to deal with the space-time assassin in 2-on-1."

"good."

Yu Xi's answer was short and crisp.

She also agreed with Lin Xian’s analysis:

"Then I will go to the garage and drive out the female secretary's other car. It is a hard-core muscle car with a very high horsepower. Whether it is off-road or high-speed, its performance is very powerful. It is older than our car. The manual transmission car is much better.”

"You'd better send a message to Angelica, telling her that we are leaving and asking her to come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the female secretary wakes up halfway and we don't control her, she will definitely call Jask Warning... It is inevitable that Angelica will be exposed directly, which is even more dangerous than facing the time and space assassin directly. "

"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Lin Xian nodded:

"Angelica told her early on that she would send a message to the female secretary when she wakes up. Now that we are leaving early, we naturally have to report to her and ask her to come back as soon as possible."

"Although I look at the amount of medicine Angelica has taken... the female secretary probably won't wake up for a while, but as a precaution, I'll send her a message."

…

Texas, Cameron County, Boca Chica, Space-T Starship Launch Center, Observation Tower.

Jask held a mobile phone in one hand and a pistol in the other, standing next to the viewing room.

Copernicus…

I heard this surprising name.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

"Copernicus..."

He shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked to the railing of the observation tower, farther away from Angelica.

The pistol was still pointed at her and he said into the phone:

"It really surprises me, Copernicus. I didn't expect to receive a call from you. Judging from this, this woman pretending to be my secretary was sent here by you, right?"

"To be able to call her in such a timely manner, either you monitored her cell phone, or you installed a monitor on her. Tell me, what is the purpose of sending her here, and who gave you such confidence? …It allows me to give you some face and let her go in this situation.”

after.

The old man on the phone laughed dryly and said slowly:

"No, you are wrong, Jask... It is true that I have been monitoring Angelica's mobile phone, but she does not know my existence, and she was not sent to you with my instructions."

"Today, I am just a kind old man. I can't bear to see a poor child who has lost all his relatives die in such a boring way."

"Hehehe..."

Jask sneered, not believing Copernicus’s lies at all:

"Copernicus, although I have never met you, I have heard everyone talk about you. Others don't think highly of you, even... a little bit bad."

"I'm sorry, you are not my colleague, nor my recognized partner. So... maybe you are really overconfident. Your face is really not as great as you think, and it is far from enough for me to spare this woman. Life."

even so.

The old man on the phone was still unfazed:

"Silly boy, don't be so arrogant... Arrogance is the first of the seven deadly sins, and it is the last mistake that geniuses should make. Just like you, Jask..."

The old man chuckled and continued:

"[What if I tell you...that little girl with blue eyes lied to you, and she is not actually your closed loop?]"

"What did you say?" Jask put away his smile.

"Think about it, silly boy... Turing is much smarter than you think."

"You think you beat Turing? No... all of this is actually a trap set by Turing for you."

The old man cleared his throat and said tiredly:

"If you still can't understand it after getting to this point, then there's no need to say more."

"I don't deny that in front of the young people of the new era, I, an old guy, really have no face to speak of. But in the end, there is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom in the distance... Ginger is still hot when you are old; having an old person in your family is a treasure, don't be petty. Look at the elderly..."

"I will send you Turing's address. Haven't you two... always wanted to kill each other? I will solve this trouble for you. If this is not enough, I can only say that you are a fool. Boy, you are a little bit ungrateful."

Toot.

After that, the old man hung up the phone.

At the same time, an address in the suburbs of Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA, was sent to Angelica's mobile phone.

Jask took a look, and behind it were roads and numbers, as well as building names and the old site of a middle school campus.

He has always had a good memory.

Although he can't remember everything he sees, a glance is enough for the address or phone number he wants to remember.

Turn off the phone screen.

Jask kept flipping Angelica's phone in his hand, looking at the woman squatting on the ground, wearing red-framed glasses, pretending to be his secretary, and remained silent.

He was thinking about what Copernicus said.

The little girl with blue eyes... lied to herself...

Is this possible?

He recalled the scene when he first met the mysterious little girl with blue eyes.

She told him something, told him her closed loop, and gave him a USB flash drive that obviously did not belong to the current era.

She explained that the virus in the USB flash drive was wiped out based on the artificial intelligence created by Kevin Walker, and it would eliminate all the super artificial intelligence that was ahead of its time on the Internet and restore the way this era should be.

Jask did not doubt the little girl with an oriental face at the time.

Because her behavior and gift were indeed timely, and what he needed most at the moment.

And he had guessed early on that the function of [space-time particles] must be related to time-space travel.

Jask turned around and looked at the closed door of the viewing room at this time.

In it, there were space-time particles that he had captured many years ago.

So he had been waiting for his closed loop and waiting for his own historical correction -

If he guessed correctly,

Space-time particles are the necessary conditions for time-space travelers to complete reverse time travel,

Then, as long as he guards his space-time particles,

One day, when technology develops to the point where time-space shuttles and time machines can be created in the future...

It will definitely happen! There will be a time-space traveler sent by himself in the future to help him correct history and complete the real closed loop!

This is reasonable in terms of time and space logic.

The appearance of the blue-eyed girl also confirms this point.

However.

What Copernicus said on the phone just now is indeed intriguing.

This makes Jask wonder...

Did he think everything was too smooth and ignored some other possibilities?

He thought before that he had stopped Turing's conspiracy and completed his closed loop.

But from what Copernicus said, it was not his closed loop, but he was fooled by Turing and Kevin Walker.

So...

If it was not his closed loop, whose closed loop was it?

Or.

Did Copernicus also lie to disturb him?

Jask still didn't speak.

He was thinking about many things in his mind.

The space-time particles that he had, which were still active;

The girl who traveled from the future;

The USB flash drive that brought him timely rain and just the right time;

The space plane that fell from the sky, and the rocket that he intercepted halfway;

Kevin Walker who went against him, and Turing who always opposed the future he imagined;

All of this.

Which is true and which is false, which is right and which is wrong.

It became confusing in an instant.

But it doesn't matter...

"Humph."

He snorted coldly.

He will figure it all out, no one can deceive him.

He didn't completely believe what Copernicus said, and he also doubted the words of the time-traveling girl.

He always believed in his own judgment and the answers he found.

Beep.

In his hand, Angelica's mobile phone popped up another new text message.

It was also an unfamiliar number, without any remarks.

There were few words and the content was very simple:

"We left early and will come back as soon as possible."

Jask knew that this message must have been sent by Lin Xian.

When Copernicus said the name Angelica, Jask figured everything out.

No wonder he could play his secretary so realistically that he couldn't tell the difference.

The ever-changing witch, the Oscar queen, is indeed worthy of her reputation.

At this point, it is not difficult to infer that Angelica must have been sent by Lin Xian to approach him.

What is Lin Xian's purpose?

Seeking revenge?

To obtain information?

Or did he realize his purpose?

"But anyway..."

Jask looked at the text message sent by Lin Xian and smiled:

"Shouldn't your primary goal be to kill Kevin Walker? Why are you targeting me?"

With a smile, Jask clicked on the text message reply page.

Using Angelica's mobile phone, he retyped the address Copernicus had just sent, added a few words, and sent it to Lin Xian——

[No. 217, Leeson Road, suburb of Vicksburg, Mississippi, the former site of Pent Middle School. This is Kevin Walker's address. Go there as soon as possible and don't contact me again. 】

Watching the text message being sent.

Jask threw the phone that was monitored by Copernicus directly from the observation tower.

The phone fell to the ground with a bang and shattered. The battery and back cover popped out... It was completely damaged and could not be used.

"What a pity, Angelica."

After watching his phone smash, Jask turned around and looked at the Hollywood actress who had disguised herself as his secretary:

"It seems that I should have taken the initiative to greet you and get to know you when we met at the banquet a few times before. In this way... at least we wouldn't be so unfamiliar today, right?"

He smiled and spread his hands:

"I am a man who keeps his promises. If what Copernicus said is true, I will naturally let you go. But before that, you just stay here honestly until..."

"Until I figure all this out."
