“[Could the person who killed VV...

be Jask?]”

Lin Xian shook his head.

It was impossible to judge.

Firstly, if Jask truly had the strength to kill VV, with such powerful computing technology overpowering the super Artificial Intelligence 600 years later...

then what was the deal with his Starlink Satellites?

Why were they being hacked into every day?

Secondly, if he really was the murderer who killed VV, then what was his purpose in launching the rocket to save him?

...

This was quite contradictory.

Assuming that his purpose in killing VV was to stop him from capturing the Space-Time Particle or to eliminate him.

Then there was absolutely no need for him to launch the rocket to save him, it was utterly superfluous, wouldn’t it have been better to just let the Skyspace Aircraft hijacked by Kevin Walker crash?

And assuming that Jask’s true purpose was to help him capture the Space-Time Particle...

then there was even less need to kill VV.

With VV around, Kevin Walker couldn’t hijack even a single satellite, he would be completely unable to move.

With VV present, the entire operation to capture the Space-Time Particle would be free of surprises and dangers, and the likelihood of Gao Yang and VV operating the Mechanical Arm to successfully capture the Space-Time Particle was very high.

Moreover, the capture would produce a “complete form” of the Space-Time Particle, with no energy loss, which might be of great use in the future.

So, under this hypothetical premise, Jask’s purpose didn’t seem to be about fully helping him.

“Think again...

think again...”

Lin Xian stood up.

He paced around the room.

In this scenario, Jask did kill VV, but he is not targeting me; rather, he just wants to disrupt Kevin Walker’s plans.

This is the first conjecture, and then there’s the second possibility:

“[Jask has the same goal as Huang Que, wanting me to capture the Space-Time Particle, but he does not want it to be intact.

So he has to kill VV, to prevent me from capturing a complete Space-Time Particle; then again, he had to cover for me, to fend off Kevin Walker’s attacks, allowing me to continue the capture of the Space-Time Particle without VV.

However, in this disadvantaged state, the energy of the Space-Time Particle will quickly be depleted upon contact, and even if I eventually catch it, it would be a useless cripple.]”

The second conjecture is much more complex than the first.

Lin Xian was standing from the perspective of an after-the-fact Zhuge Liang, forcibly combining these key events to construct this possibility.

If the second conjecture is true.

Then Jask is truly terrifying.

It would mean that everything, all along, is within his knowledge and control.

He might even be more formidable than Huang Que.

Huang Que herself admitted that history after boarding the Skyspace Aircraft had left her knowledge and was an unknown to her.

But how did Jask know all this?

He clearly didn’t time travel from the future, his biography is known to the whole world.

Born in South Africa, Jask learned programming at 10, made his first bucket of gold by developing a game at 13, dropped out from Stanford University to start a business, and by 28, Jask had become a millionaire; by 30, he had already ascended to the rank of billionaire.

Judging from his life story, he is undoubtedly a genius of the era.

Yet such a complete biography also meant he could not possibly be a Space-Time Traveler, so how did he come to know the whole script?

Could it be...

He has a transmigrator by his side, guiding him just as Huang Que guides me?

Or could it be...

It’s because he joined the Genius Club that he is able to know the future like Huang Que?
