Chapter 76: Only Trisolarans Can Deal With Trisolarans_1

Logic was exposed!

No one could have imagined that Logic would actually choose to betray Earth and side with Three-Body!

Even when Shi Qiang personally led the team and brought Logic back to the base, he couldn't accept the fact for a while.

He stood outside the door in silence for a long time, smoking one cigarette after another, with cigarette butts piling up at his feet. After who knows how long, Shi Qiang finally pushed the door open.

In the interrogation room.

There was only the silhouette of Logic alone.

But the number of people watching him was unknown!

Because of Logic's special identity, whether it was his talent, his achievements, his current status, or his understanding of alien civilizations, he deserved such attention!

Shi Qiang slammed his fist on the table, creating a dull thud. He tried to control his emotions, but his arms still trembled uncontrollably.

"Why?"

"Tell me why?"

"Why?!!"

He had followed Logic's directions, discovered the hidden hand behind the scenes, step by step searched for traces of alien civilizations, and ultimately discovered the true face of alien civilization.

But he never expected.

He caught the one person he least wanted to catch.

He even thought that, at this moment, it would be easier for him to accept Chang Weisi as a traitor than for Logic to be a traitor!

Logic leaned back in his chair, hands clasped together, a contemplative look in his eyes, "I don't know why, Shi Qiang, do you remember the line that appeared before your eyes? I think you should know what Sophon is. When Sophon engraved the sentence 'you are an insect' on my eyeball, I might have changed."

"Because of fear?"

Shi Qiang questioned back.

He thought of the day when he used the three-K glasses to observe the starry sky, the sky filled with blood-red color, and the text that appeared before his eyes.

You are just an insect!

He also remembered those scientists who chose to commit suicide one after another, and at that moment didn't know how to continue speaking.

Should he question them?

Other scientists have killed themselves.

Why don't you go die?

Isn't that ridiculous!

Shi Qiang wanted to smoke another cigarette to alleviate the depression in his heart, but when he reached into his empty pocket, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Just tell me everything you know about this alien civilization…"

"Invincible, powerful, undefeatable!"

Logic made an objective appraisal.

If it weren't for the limitation of distance, with the strength of the Three-Body civilization, they could completely annihilate Earth's civilization in an instant. In fact, they had done so, even obliterating a version of Earth's civilization that had developed its technology for two hundred more years.

If there was no Dark Forest Law.

Do Earthlings really have a way to defeat Three-Body?

Even though Logic who had traveled through several universes, was still desperately searching for other methods, he had seriously thought about it for a very long time.

That is...

There is no way!

This is just a Level Two Civilization at the bottom of the universe, not to mention the higher Singer Civilization, Returner Civilization.

The Returners were still somewhat manageable, as their civilization was too advanced for Earth, and they might not even come into contact with it.

But the Singer Civilization was not far from Earth's civilization, measured by cosmic distances; the probability of them discovering Earth's civilization was very great.

It could be thousands of years.

It could be tens of thousands of years.

These periods of time were brief for a civilization, for the universe.

But Shi Qiang didn't know these things. He scoffed coldly, "So, you got scared? And you chose to surrender? To betray Earth?"

"The fact is as such, I indeed became a traitor. I really got scared."

"Why? You're not this kind of person!"

"Because Three-Body's aim isn't just me alone, I have to do something. I can't just watch with my eyes open as what happened to Yang Dong occurs again, or even to more people."

Wait a minute.

Yang Dong?

In Shi Qiang's mind, a buzz resonated. He remembered that day he and Logic had played the Three-Body Deity game, passed the last level, and saw the list of those assassinated by the Trisolarans, including Yang Dong.

At that time, the regretful expression on Logic's face, plus that strange remark, "What happened to Yang Dong is already past, unpreventable, but the future... I still have to do some things..."

Shi Qiang, as if struck with a revelation, exclaimed, "It was you! You stopped those plans!"

He was astonished.

He was shaken.

When they initially searched through Shen Yufei's communication records with the Three-Body Civilization, they found a myriad of execution plans, each one bone-chilling.

Especially the purging plans for scientists and the suppression plans for humanity's future elite, they felt the cold cruelty of the Three-Body Civilization.

What baffled Shi Qiang and the others was that, despite creating such top-secret plans, with everything ready to go, on the verge of implementation, they were suddenly halted.

They had guessed many reasons incorrectly.

And now, Shi Qiang finally had the answer!

Logic joined Three-Body, using himself as a bargaining chip with the Three-Body Civilization, in exchange for the halting of all plans.

Logic shook his head helplessly, "I never thought I was worth so much. I was just joking at the time, hehe, but in the end, I became a traitor. Ah, Shi Qiang, when I'm in prison, can you bring me some oranges? Visit me more often, I think it's going to be very boring sitting in a small room by myself."

"You..."

Shi Qiang gritted his teeth, a look of disappointment on his face as he said, "It's said that the brains of intellectuals aren't practical. I used to think you were smart but now you seem downright foolish. Didn't you know to call the police in a situation like this? Didn't you know to report it? Doing this by yourself is unfair to you! You've taken upon yourself the name of a traitor, you..."

"Would that have been useful?" Logic retorted, "Have you found Sophon now?"

Shi Qiang instantly fell silent.

More than just Sophon, they couldn't even find a trace of the alien civilization without Logic's silent guidance.

If not for Logic.

The entire scientific community might have perished, society thrown into turmoil, the whole system collapsed, civil war broken out, and they wouldn't have been able to find even a hint of the mastermind behind it all, completely played by the Three-Body Civilization.

Shi Qiang stared at Logic for a long time before finally uttering, "I don't have the right to interrogate you!"

How could this be Earth's traitor?

This was clearly a lone brave soul, enduring humiliation and advancing silently in the darkness!

Shi Qiang left the room.

A long, long time passed with no one coming in.

Logic lounged lazily in his chair, and through Sophon, he could see Chang Weisi fiercely debating in the conference room, single-handedly holding his ground against four rogue diplomats and the advisors from other countries who were eavesdropping.

One core sentiment ran throughout.

Logic belonged to Huaxia!

The crime was committed in Huaxia, and they could not hand him over to others!

Chang Weisi sneered internally, saying they would bring him back for trial, to face the people's judgment, but damn it, nine out of ten would end up revering him as a hero, and the remaining one would be honored even higher.

After a long while.

Chang Weisi walked into the room, a hint of triumph at the corners of his mouth, followed by a host of diplomats with resentful glances, having learned the bitter lesson of trying to out-talk Huaxians.

He looked at Logic, his tone respectful, "Mr. Logic, this is a moment of life or death for humanity. May I ask, do you have a way to counter the Trisolarans now?"

A way?

There hadn't been one before!

But now...

Logic silently considered Liu Peiqiang's sworn godfather, the Divine Tree, the one capable of unlocking human intelligence and duplicating and spreading knowledge.

Thinking about the special structure of the Trisolarans and their ability to rise swiftly after every destruction, a bold idea suddenly sparked in his mind.

"Only the Trisolarans can fight the Trisolarans!"
