Xiao Li was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...
"Don’t stop."
Lin Xian immediately pointed to the right:
"Turn right, faster! Let’s get going while she hasn’t gotten up, head to Jiaxing!"
Boom!!!!
The Alphard Business Vehicle floored the accelerator again, suddenly veering onto the road to the right and quickly vanishing into the night...
Next to the road barrier.
The girl staggered to her feet from the ground.
She stood up, leaning on the nearby barrier, blinking her eyes.
The cerulean rings in her pupils seemed to flicker weakly but vanished in an instant.
After blinking again, the bright blue returned, intense as a spotlight, she fixed her gaze on where the Alphard Business Vehicle had disappeared, like an owl locking onto its prey...
She wiped the blood off her face.
...
On the fast suburban road to Jiaxing, Xiao Li drove as fast as possible.
The huge hole and cracks on the front windshield greatly obstructed his vision, but he knew that any slowdown now would be irresponsible for his boss’s life behind him.
Therefore.
Under the premise of ensuring safety, he had to drive faster, faster.
Lin Xian in the back seat didn’t utter a word.
Using his mobile phone and his identification, he bought every available flight ticket at each of the surrounding airports.
Zhoushan, Xiaoshan, Nanjing, Suzhou, Changzhou, Nantong, Wuxi, Jiaxing, Pudong, Hongqiao...
Every flight that could be bought, he bought them all.
Domestic, international.
Lin Xian definitely didn’t lack the money. To confuse the enemy, one must first confuse oneself.
He didn’t even know where to go, where he should go, or where it would be safe.
There was also the possibility that he wouldn’t go anywhere.
But in the current frantic and clueless state, the first assumption was that the enemy had the ability to track his itinerary. Whether it was useful or not, he had to lay down the smoke screen first.
"Phew..."
After completing this series of orders, Lin Xian finally managed to take a deep breath, still recalling the situation that had just occurred.
Undoubtedly.
The girl, the Time-Space Assassin, had now set her sights on him after killing Huang Que in Copenhagen.
"But the Space-time Law, Forced Evasion, should be infallible, right?"
Lin Xian scratched his head.
Still unable to figure out where he had gone wrong.
He closed his eyes.
Think hard,
Think hard,
Think things through...
Lin Xian’s brow was furrowed as he started a brainstorm, considering all the possibilities.
[In Copenhagen, she killed Huang Que but not me.]
[As soon as I got back to East Sea, she was already lying in wait here.]
[The Time-Space Assassin comes from the future, her body enhanced, she must come from at least a few hundred years later, a more distant and future era than Huang Que traveled from.]
[Why does she want to kill me? It must be because she holds a grudge against me, or there’s some sort of crucial need to eliminate me.]
[The Space-time Law should be absolute, it’s a given, no one can overstep the Space-time Law, neither Huang Que nor the Time-Space Assassin.]
Whoosh.
Lin Xian opened his eyes.
He remembered...
Back when he felt like he had nowhere to turn, wanting to stir the stagnant reality to seek out a pathway amidst the chaos, to find clues. Stay tuned to freewebnovel
Hence, in the Fourth Dreamland, he threw down a fierce statement at that mysterious old man:
"Come kill me, Kevin Walker, you know where I am."
"If you don’t come kill me... then I will kill you!"
Could it be?
Did this matter relate?
Because he had thrown down a fierce statement, did the mysterious old man send a Space-Time Traveler to kill him?
But that wasn’t right either.
If it were so, just killing him would have been enough. Why was it necessary to also kill Huang Que?
Besides.
It’s the same old story again.
[The Space-time Law is absolute!]
[A Space-Time Traveler can’t change history by killing someone from this space-time; this will definitely trigger the Forced Evasion law, making them unable to move, become transparent, or even be erased outright!]
"Huh?"
Lin Xian blinked and suddenly noticed something off...
What is the criterion for Forced Evasion?
From what point, and to what degree, does Forced Evasion begin?
Lin Xian recalled when he returned from the Skyspace Aircraft, Huang Que was demonstrating Forced Evasion to him... she kept trying to tell him the meaning of Millennium Stakes but couldn’t speak.
And it wasn’t entirely that she couldn’t speak.
It was when she got to "The Millennium Stakes are—" and then stopped abruptly; it’s indeed only at the last moment when altering established history and future development that Space-time Law would promptly intervene to restrict.
Which means...
Summing it up.
At the [thinking] stage, Forced Evasion will not trigger because thinking does not mean definitely doing.
At the [speaking] stage, it’s only at the instant when the crucial words are about to be spoken that Forced Evasion triggers.

So then, think about the [doing] part?
If we consider it with the logic of "silenced when halfway through speaking, at the critical moment," then for actions like killing oneself, it should be "stopping midway, just a bit away from being killed, only then Forced Evasion will take effect."
"Is that so?"
Lin Xian mused.
Did that girl, the assassin today, intend to kill him?
Possibly.
But did she kill him?
No.
Did she have an actual act of attempting to kill him?
It seems not.
The girl’s barrage had all been aimed at the Alphard Business Vehicle, turning the car into a hornet’s nest indeed, but she hadn’t actually harmed him in the slightest.
Lin Xian suddenly had a thought:
"Could it be, that the purpose of that Time-Space Assassin isn’t to kill me but to capture me... or to take control of me, to transport me somewhere?"
