"So, is it because if I were caught in Copenhagen, I would still need to be extradited and transported out of the country, but passing customs or during transit, I would inevitably have the chance to seek help and escape, hence the need to wait until I return to the East Sea before taking action?"
This was the only explanation Lin Xian could think of.
Killing me would definitely exceed the range of Space-Time Elasticity.
But controlling me, taking me somewhere, just that act might not affect Space-Time Elasticity.
After all...
Huang Que had done the same thing.
She had lied to me, and that kind of act was within the allowed range of Space-Time Elasticity.
She led me to investigate the Genius Club, to capture the Space-Time Particles, all of which were within the range of Space-Time Elasticity.
She brought me to the Imperial Capital, to Jiuquan, to the Skyspace Aircraft, these acts that dictated my movements were also within the range of Space-Time Elasticity.
So.
By comparison.

If that Time-Space Assassin didn’t want to kill me, harbored no malice toward me, but merely wanted to forcibly control me, bring me to someone... it seemed also to be within the allowed range of Space-Time Elasticity! It wouldn’t trigger Space-Time Exclusion or Forced Evasion!
"Ah..."
Lin Xian lay back in his seat, rubbing his temples in pain.
Sometimes, Space-Time Elasticity is minimal, almost disallowing the concept of Millennium Stakes;
At other times, it is vast, allowing the enemy to capture me without killing me;
Could there be a loophole here?
But then, Lin Xian figured it out.
In the face of history’s relentless advance... perhaps the life or death of an individual truly holds no weight.
Far less significant than knowledge, than technology, than intelligence, even less than a concept like Space-time Law.
Up till now, my dreams have undergone four major changes that exceeded Elasticity.
Yet,
Not a single one of those changes in dream was due to someone’s death or rescue.
"In the overwhelming torrent of historical flow, what creates the least ripples, what cannot alter the course of the river... that’s people."

Lin Xian unexpectedly thought of this sentence.
What is the weight of a person in history?
To this day, whether history makes heroes or heroes make history remains unresolved.
It’s the debate between idealist and materialist views of history.
However...
Viewing from the scope of human history and extending the timeframe,
It seems the impact of individual heroes on history isn’t that significant.
When history rolls to a certain point, it’s inevitable that someone, a few people, or a group will emerge to push the historical wheel forward.
Minus one or two key figures,
Perhaps it would delay a few decades, but the forward roll of history’s wheel is an inevitable trend; without Zhang San pushing, there would be a Li San, a Wang San.
Is it because of this reason?
Currently, Lin Xian isn’t certain.
But the current crisis isn’t something he can resolve by understanding this issue.
The answer to this question can wait until the crisis is averted, or after he has eliminated this Time-Space Assassin.
"So, who exactly sent this Time-Space Assassin? To kill Huang Que, to kill me?"
That is the most urgent question that needs clarity now.
It is also key to breaking the situation.
Gradually.
Lin Xian thought of the most likely possibility—
[Jask].
This suspicion mainly originates from Jask’s act of killing VV.
Initially, Lin Xian only considered Jask a half-suspect because there had been no direct conflict between them, and he had even saved him from Kevin Walker’s attack with a rocket.
But now, piecing together some known clues...
It seems.
There are quite a few suspicious points about Jask:
1. The method of killing VV, as I suspected, must have involved a Time-Space Assassin and likewise from the future, only future technology could kill the advanced VV. Clearly, Jask is not a transmigrator, then whose future technology was it? What if... it was this Time-Space Assassin?
2. Previously, Lin Xian couldn’t understand why Jask would want to kill VV, because the Space-Time Particles eventually ended up in his own hands, and he couldn’t fathom his motive. But now... looking at it if VV were still alive, the Time-Space Assassin would not have been able to kill Huang Que, nor could he have assaulted me like today; he would have been discovered by VV early on.
3. If Jask truly intended to help me from the start, why hasn’t he contacted me since capturing the Space-Time Particles? Since he came specifically to me at the Sci-Tech Charity Dinner to reveal his membership in the Genius Club and told me to meet in heaven... then why is he completely absent now? There’s no follow-up at all?
It was because of this third concern.
That day, while thinking in Liu Feng’s lab, Lin Xian decided to actively seek out Jask.
He could pretend not to know about Jask killing VV.
After all, following the normal course of events, he genuinely wouldn’t know that Jask had killed VV, instead, he would regard Jask as a friend, a comrade, a trustworthy ally.
If that was Jask’s intention, pretending to "take the bait," "entering the game," and "actively approaching Jask" to see what he was really up to sounded like a good idea.
But now...
Due to the appearance of this Time-Space Assassin girl, Lin Xian changed his mind.
He must raise Jask’s hypothetical enemy level to the same as Kevin Walker’s.
