Genius Club-Chapter 646 - 32: Two Girls, The Truth Revealed (Extra for monthly votes!)_3

"Sorry."

The girl riding the motorcycle squinted at the streetlight ahead, and whispered,

"If I had found you earlier, perhaps your friend wouldn’t have been in danger. That Time-Space Assassin clearly had a more precise way of determining your location... I’m much inferior in that respect, which is why it took me until today to find you."

"No, no, this isn’t your fault, you don’t need to apologize."

Lin Xian felt that the girl was being overly understanding—how could she be blamed for Huang Que’s situation.

"I just have one question."

Lin Xian continued to ask,

"Look you’re now talking to me, even this is limited by the Space-time Law, let alone doing anything else. Can you harm me? Can you kill me?"

"That’s obviously impossible," Yu Xi shook her head,

"As soon as there’s an attempt to harm you, before the harm can occur, it will be immediately prevented by the Space-time Law. How do you refer to this particular Space-time Law?"

"Forced Evasion," Lin Xian replied.

Yu Xi nodded, and her small ponytail bounced up and down:

"You’ve named it well. Yes, you also understand the principle, Space-Time Travelers absolutely cannot interfere with history, alter history, or do anything beyond the set boundaries allowed by history."

"If one forcefully tries to meddle with history, the consequences and outcome are very dire, it’s not just about triggering Forced Evasion, it would also greatly reduce the time one can stay in this time-space. And even... if the action taken is severe enough, like murder, without a doubt, yes, no doubt, it would be entirely erased by the Space-time Law, cease to exist in this world."

"But here lies the problem!"

Lin Xian’s brows were tightly furrowed:

"Before you saved me just now, I don’t know if you saw what happened. That Time-Space Assassin, she wasn’t subject to any Space-time Law restrictions at all! She could not only harm me but could even kill me, and I am now certain, she killing me wouldn’t cause her any troubles, no Space-Time Exclusion or Forced Evasion whatsoever."

"Not just killing me, previously in Donghai City, she almost hammered my driver to death... Although her punch deviated, merely shattering the glass without injuring my driver. But judging from the heaviness of her attack, she clearly didn’t care about the backlash or restrictions of the Space-time Law, she really didn’t care about the lives of my driver and me."

"So... what exactly is going on? Logically, anything, any object, shouldn’t be able to escape the restrictions of the Space-time Law at all, right? Isn’t the Space-time Law absolute? I’ve always believed that, whether it’s on you or my transmigrator friend Huang Que, each time, the Space-time Law is strictly enforced, never lenient."

"But why then, when it comes to that Time-Space Assassin, it doesn’t work, doesn’t apply? Is this normal? Do you Space-Time Travelers have ways such as ’historical corrections’ to evade the backlash from the Space-time Law?"

"[That’s absolutely impossible.]"

Yu Xi answered without hesitation:

"Even historical correction is something that can only be done by the people of your time-space, this era. We Space-Time Travelers are severely limited by the Space-time Law... nearly incapable of saying or doing anything that could cause the slightest impact."

"So, if there really is the situation you described, where the Time-Space Assassin is completely unrestricted by the Space-time Law, I think that’s impossible... But now you’re adamantly stating it as a fact, I won’t use meaningless negatives anymore."

"I can only say, a Time-Space Traveler with distinctly blue eyes, being able to exceed the limits of the Space-time Law, not being restricted by it..."

"[This is absolutely abnormal.]"

...

Yu Xi’s words once again corrected a misjudgment Lin Xian had previously made.

Naively, he had thought that the Time-Space Assassin could use force on him because she and her backers had discovered a specific method of historical correction, then calculated both positive and negative corrections, and by synchronizing some changes, neutralized the disruption brought by killing him.

Indeed, such thoughts were utterly impractical!

Temporal Flux is uncontrollable.

This was one of the earliest truths Lin Xian realized.

Unless his enemies, like himself, could precisely predict the future, how could they know what actions would disrupt history and what would correct it?

The impacts Lin Xian conjectured, like killing himself having a +105 impact on historical trajectory and saving two people having a -160... these figures were irresponsible assumptions made in a rushed and chaotic state.

After all, who could determine the magnitude of the butterfly effect caused by killing or reviving someone?

The butterfly effect itself is a chaotic system, unable to be quantified or numerically defined.

As for the matter of Tem Bank disappearing and then being rediscovered...

This might actually just be an accident, a coincidence.

Moreover, the disappearance and reappearance of Tem Bank is inherently one event, not the result of two events canceling each other out, but purely a choice of one single event.

"So, my previously conceived assumption of neutralizing and counterbalancing Space-Time Elasticity was completely wrong,"

Lin Xian mused to himself.
