The high-speed elevator sank downwards, and the thickening strata above seemed to weigh heavily on Chen Xin's heart. Now she has been elected as the third sword holder.

Although humans have already mastered materials with strong interaction force, the center of the sword has not changed its location and is still located very deep underground.

Chen Xin saw nothing but emptiness in the Sword Holding Center. The white walls in the foyer obviously had display functions, but now they were all empty and white.

Apart from a Star Alliance flag and portraits of the two sword holders Sai and Vader, there is nothing else here, as if this place has just been built and has not yet been officially put into use.

When Starlink was designing the control center nearly a century ago, Vader was asked for his opinion. At that time, he simply said: "Simple as a tomb."

The transfer ceremony of deterrence control was very grand, but it was all held on the ground at an altitude of forty-five kilometers, where all the heads of the major political bodies of the Star Alliance gathered.

Chen Xin walked into the elevator under the gaze of all mankind, but there was only one person presiding over the final handover here, and that was the President of the Star Alliance. He represented the political body that directly led and operated the intimidation system.

The Star Alliance President pointed to the empty foyer and told Chen Xin that the control center would be rearranged according to her ideas. There could be lawns, plants, fountains, etc. here.

If she wants, she can also use holographic images to completely simulate the landscape on the ground. Of course, this is irrelevant, because the technology of virtual warehouses is very mature nowadays.

Although the virtual world has not yet been civilianized, the Star Alliance government can develop the virtual world of the research institute and allow sword holders to visit some virtual worlds with beautiful environments.

"We don't want you to live like him, really." the Star Alliance president said sincerely.

His words also made Chen Xin feel a bit of warmth, but they could not remove the heaviness in her heart. This heaviness was like the strata above it, which had accumulated forty-five kilometers thick.

A low rumble sounded, and the heavy steel door more than one meter thick slowly moved open, and Chen Xin and his party walked into the heart of the dark forest deterrence system.

What greeted Chen Xin was a wider void and emptiness. This was a semi-circular hall, facing a semi-curved white wall.

The first impression that Chen Xin gave here was an empty eyeball without a pupil, showing a desolate and blank look. Then Chen Xin saw Wade, the previous sword holder.

Wade sat cross-legged in the middle of the white hall, facing the curved white wall. His hair and beard were long, but not messy, and neatly combed. They were also pure white, almost blending in with the white wall.

One body.

His right hand holds a red strip, which is the sword holder's hilt and the activation switch for gravitational wave broadcasting.

His presence gave eyes to this empty eyeball. Although it was just a black dot compared with the hall, it made the desolation and confusion disappear, and the eyes became spiritual.

Vader's own eyes could not be seen from this direction. He did not react at all to the visitor and just stared at the white wall in front of him.

If facing a wall for ten years can break it, then this white wall has been broken nine times.

The Star Alliance President stopped Chen Xin and said softly that there were still ten minutes before the handover time. In the last ten minutes of ninety-three years, Vader still stood firm.

"The time has come for the transfer of supreme control of the gravitational wave cosmic broadcast system." Ten minutes later, the Star Alliance president solemnly broke the silence.

Vader still remained in his original posture. The Star Alliance President walked over and tried to help him stand up, but he raised his left hand and refused.

Chen Xin noticed that his movements of raising his hands were strong and vigorous, not at all slow like a centenarian's.

Then Wade stood up steadily on his own. What surprised Chen Xin was that he went from sitting cross-legged on the ground to standing upright without his hands touching the ground. It was very difficult for young people to do this.

"Mr. Vader, this is Chen Xin, the second person with the highest control over the gravitational wave cosmic broadcast system. Please hand her the broadcast activation switch."

Wade stood tall and straight. He stared at the white wall that he had looked at for a century for the last few seconds, and then bowed slightly to the wall.

He was paying tribute to his enemy. They had been looking at each other for a century across the abyss of four light years. This was also a kind of fate.

Then he turned to face Chen Xin. The old and new sword holders looked at each other silently. Their eyes only met for a brief moment.

At that moment, Chen Xin felt a sharp light sweep across the dark night of her soul. In that gaze, she felt as thin and light as paper, even completely transparent.

Wade handed the switch to Chen Xin with both hands, and Chen Xin also took over the heaviest thing in the history of the earth with both hands.

So the fulcrum of the two worlds shifted from a 152-year-old man to a 29-year-old young woman.

The switch carries Vader's body temperature. It really looks like a sword hilt. There are four buttons on it, one of which is at the top. In order to prevent accidental activation, in addition to pressing the buttons with great force, they must also be pressed in a certain sequence.

to take effect.

Wade took two steps back slightly, nodded slightly in greeting to the three of them, then turned around and walked toward the door with steady steps.

At the door of the high-speed elevator, several prosecutors in black suits blocked Wade.

One of them said: "Mr. Vader, in the name of the prosecutor of the Star Alliance Supreme Court, I inform you that you have been charged with attempted murder and election manipulation. You are now detained by the Star Alliance Supreme Court and will be investigated."

Wade didn't even look at these people and continued to walk towards the elevator door. The prosecutors involuntarily gave way and no one dared to try to stop him.

In fact, Vader may not have been aware of their presence at all. The sharp light in his eyes extinguished and was replaced by a calmness like sunset.

From now on, no matter what kind of demon or monster he is in the eyes of the human world, people have to admit that throughout the history of civilization, the victory of the two sword holders is unparalleled.

The Deterrence Center is naturally equipped with sophon shielding equipment, but the Star Alliance Vice President and Qiu Sirain secretly placed cameras on the high-speed elevator so that the Trisolarans can see the contents of the elevator.

So the moment Vader entered the elevator and the elevator just started to rise, the Trisolarans couldn't wait to launch an attack. 42 latent water droplets and a Trisolaran battleship quickly rushed towards the earth.

Sure enough, Chen Xin didn't have the guts to use deterrence at all. Instead, she threw the switch in her hand and watched it slide away like a devil.

Then a series of explosions sounded on the surface. Although the surface of the gravitational wave launcher system is covered with strong interaction materials, the water droplet can still be used as a disposable artillery shell to destroy the deterrence system.

"The gravitational wave transmitting stations in America, Asia and Europe were destroyed, the solar wave amplification function was suppressed in all frequency bands, and the gravitational wave cosmic broadcast system could not be restored. The dark forest deterrence was terminated."

The emotionless voice of artificial intelligence rang in the tomb-like deterrent center. At this time, Chen Xin could only sit on the ground and cry loudly.
