Chapter 658: Chapter 35 My Name is Copernicus Chapter 658: Chapter 35 My Name is Copernicus Thud, thud!

Lin Xian was in the villa’s bedroom, watching over his sleeping female secretary.

From the outside living room to the entrance door, a loud knocking sound erupted.

Lin Xian, gripping his handgun, checked that the safety was off and moved from the bedroom to behind the living room door.

He did not approach, nor did he look through the peephole, maintaining a safe distance to draw his gun:

“Who is it?”@@@@

“It’s me, Lin Xian.”

From outside, Yu Xi’s voice came through.

Only then did Lin Xian somewhat relax, but he still did not lower his gun.

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

...

Indeed, only Yu Xi stood outside, her bright blue eyes focusing on the peephole as well.

Click.

Lin Xian opened the door and let Yu Xi in.

“Lin Xian, the Time-Space Assassin has followed us.”

As soon as she entered, Yu Xi hurriedly said:

“I can feel it, her speed is so fast, she must have taken a plane from New Jersey to Texas, and now she’s coming this way from an airport not too far from us.”

“She approaches quickly, probably by taking public transport or driving a car herself.”

Lin Xian frowned:

“Can you roughly infer her intended direction?

Is she coming towards us?

Then, seeing the black briefcase with the handgun and magazines on the table, she quickly stood up, filled two magazines with bullets, and, together with another black handgun, slipped them into her track suit pockets, ready for action.

Lin Xian then returned to the villa’s bedroom.

Looking at the large bed, the female secretary was still deep in sleep.

He approached the bedside table and checked the items placed on it.

Aside from Angelica’s props, there was a small bottle with white medication.

Lin Xian picked it up and looked at the instructions.

He didn’t recognize the name of the drug, but he could understand the instructions for use and purpose; it was some sort of sleep aid, perhaps akin to a sleeping pill?

He wasn’t sure if the small pills inside matched the outer bottle...

because Lin Xian instinctively felt that mere sleeping pills shouldn’t have such a powerful sleeping effect.

The female secretary, wrapped in a blanket and sound asleep, really was sleeping like a log, with the same position undisturbed for a long while.

If not for the rhythmic rise and fall of the blanket and the faint breathing sounds, Lin Xian would really suspect the female secretary was dead...

About fifteen minutes later, Yu Xi walked in from the living room, her gaze serious:

“Lin Xian, it’s confirmed, the Time-Space Assassin is headed our way, she didn’t turn towards the south to the Starship Rocket Launch Base, but is coming straight for us, and her speed is getting faster.

I estimate it won’t take half an hour for her to reach us.”

“We now need to decide on a plan, whether to ambush here and fight the Time-Space Assassin; or to drive away and continue our escape.

We need to make a decision now.”

Lin Xian nodded.

He had already devised a plan:

“Now is not the time to confront the Time-Space Assassin head on.”

“Firstly, only you can harm her due to some bizarre restrictions from the Space-time Law, and I am completely unable to touch her.

In such circumstances, even though you are armed, you cannot have an upper hand because no one can guarantee that the Time-Space Assassin doesn’t have a gun.”
