Chapter 95: The Leader's Order (3rd Update)_1

Jiang Yu was on his way back to the Star Defense Department when a line of text appeared in his mind: "New product now on sale."

Jiang Yu was startled and pretended to doze off in his seat as he entered the "Wallfacer's Shop" to take a look.

Next to the previous item "Intrude into the Sophon's surveillance system for three minutes," a new product called "Stealth" appeared, with the description: Creates a three-minute Sophon monitoring blackout by chance.

The price was also twenty thousand Deception Points.

Jiang Yu was somewhat surprised, wondering how a new product had suddenly appeared.

He then realized that although he had not been officially appointed as a Wallfacer by the United Nations, the document provided by Chief Ji effectively granted him the rights of a Wallfacer.

Could this be the reason?

But that's not right, why didn't the new product appear when he received the document?

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yu understood. Just now, he had used the Wallfacer's rights for the first time, so was he being rewarded with a new product?

Damn it!

Jiang Yu almost cursed out loud; this darn shop really was a "Wallfacer's Shop"!

Everything was just guesswork!

However, the new product seemed very practical, allowing him to speak freely for three minutes even during the Sophon's surveillance period.

But this price...

...

Far away, four light-years from Earth, on Trisolaris.

The Supreme Leader once again met with the Earth Affairs Governor and Governor Number Seventeen.

The Trisolaran high command placed great importance on Earth's Wallfacer Project, even though many governors believed that, with humanity's technology locked down, no significant wave could be stirred.

However, Earthlings had taken their opaque thinking to the extreme, and the Supreme Leader thought they should not be taken lightly.

Especially in the field of deception, where Trisolarans were not adept despite the senior governors managing their emotions well, they still couldn't avoid some fear of the Wallfacer Plan.

Because no one knew what the Wallfacers were thinking, and with the vast resources at their disposal, the combination of the two was a great unknown, which also caused fear among the Trisolarans.

After learning the current status of the Wallfacer Project, the Supreme Leader expressed to the two governors that the country of Number Three observational object, Jiang Yu, seemed to have many people prepared to rebel at all costs, and it might become their greatest enemy in the future.

The Supreme Leader asked Governor Number Seventeen: "Is it clear? Has Number Three completely sided with his race?"

Governor Number Seventeen reported: "Although Number Three often verbally expresses loyalty to us, without his interference, the 'Poison Apple Project' could proceed more smoothly than now. It's almost certain that we were previously deceived by him."

However, the Earth Affairs Governor had a different opinion: "As Number Three has planned, he is indeed among the human elite now."

The Supreme Leader said: "Number Three has become one of the Wallfacers. We must intensify surveillance on him and keep up with breaking his mental defenses. Regardless, let's break through his mind first."

Governor Number Seventeen: "We have switched to round-the-clock surveillance!"

The Supreme Leader continued to inquire: "Have you found out why Number Three previously showed anomalies? Why would he say that we are nothing more than slightly larger insects? Has he learned something from somewhere? Also, how did he know about the general monitoring schedule of the Sophons?"

Governor Number Seventeen: "We still haven't figured it out, and there are no leads whatsoever."

The Earth Affairs Governor said: "The members of ETO are preparing to assassinate Number Three. Should we help them out a bit? As long as he's dead, he won't be a threat anymore."

The Supreme Leader commanded: "We can only offer help in terms of intelligence."

The 17th Governor was somewhat surprised, "This is an important experimental subject, won't you stop him?"

The Chief: "The survivors of ETO all believe that it was Jiang Yu who single-handedly destroyed ETO, and then allowed ETO to see through the deception of Earthlings. Let's give them enough autonomy in this matter. However, now that ETO has exposed its existence, the likelihood of success isn't high."

The Chief then ordered, "Investigate the cause of the anomaly with the Number Three observation subject as quickly as possible, and if you truly find something amiss, eliminate it with all means at your disposal! By the way, has the order to eliminate Luo Ji been issued?"

The 17th Governor: "It has been issued, and should already be in execution."

The Chief: "This is a matter of life and death for us, we absolutely must not be careless!"

...

For Jiang Yu, the past two days had flown by so quickly, he even had the illusion that time was racing past.

Since receiving the documents to become a Wallfacer, he felt that there was not enough time, too many issues to think about, each requiring extensive deliberation.

This was mainly because he had not been sufficiently psychologically prepared; he had originally thought that there was only one Wallfacer slot for China and had not competed for it.

Jiang Yu's initial plan was to let Luo Ji be the "main attack" while he played a supporting role, but now his cover had turned into the main force.

With these thoughts and others in mind, Jiang Yu had just arrived at his office when he received a call from Chief Ji's secretary, summoning him to a meeting with Chief Ji.

Just as he was about to open the door, he encountered Shi Qiang coming out from inside. Shi Qiang smiled at Jiang Yu and then quickly walked away.

In the office, besides Chief Ji, there was also Chang Weisi.

As soon as Jiang Yu entered, Chief Ji asked, "I remember you graduated from Yanjing University School of Social Sciences, right?"

"Yes," Jiang Yu scratched his head, "but I didn't graduate."

Chief Ji continued, "Do you know a teacher named Luo Ji?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback; the big shot Luo Ji was finally in the picture, "I know him; I've even had a meal with him."

Chief Ji immediately followed with a third question, "What's your impression of him?"

Jiang Yu recalled for a moment, "Somewhat cynical, not much of an academic achievement, but his way of thinking is very interesting.

"I heard him say that he once wrote a novel, and the female protagonist of that novel came to life and accompanied him for a while."

Chang Weisi was stunned by this, "Is he telling ghost stories? Or does he have delusions?"

Jiang Yu chuckled, "I think neither; that must be his unique way of thinking, just like how in some people's brains, mathematics or physics can take on a three-dimensional shape."

Chief Ji and Chang Weisi fell silent, the office was quiet for a second or two before Jiang Yu knowingly asked, "What happened to Teacher Luo Ji?"

Chang Weisi answered, "We just got reliable intelligence that the Trisolarans have ordered the members of ETO to kill Luo Ji without drawing any attention.

"According to our informant, the Trisolarans have never before ordered them to kill someone; this is the first time.

"And they are to kill him without attracting attention. What are they trying to hide?"

Jiang Yu smacked his lips; he did know, but he couldn't say, it would all turn to chaos if he did.

Many people are in such despair now, many have already lost their reason. If they knew about the "Dark Forest" law, a lot of them would openly or secretly broadcast the position of Trisolaris to the universe.

Humanity has a hard time even reaching the Moon now, they wouldn't stand a chance when the "Singer" sends the "Two-dimensional foil".

Moreover, if the Trisolarans were deterred too early, humanity might keep themselves trapped in the Cradle, unwilling to venture out.
