At the PDC headquarters, in Secretary-General Say's office with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, PDC's rotating chairman Garning is making a relevant work report:

"Secretary-General Sai..."

“The screening and removal of ETO remnants is proceeding in an orderly manner.”

"Based on the clues we obtained, including the one that led to the assassination of Professor Luo Ji, we have arrested at least 130 people, including two ETO bugs within our PDC."

"Our people have conducted surprise interrogations on them, but it is said that it did not go well. Some people are very tough and refuse to say anything... and some people cannot provide much valuable information at all?"

"Because of Tomoko's existence, it is difficult for us to catch their superiors and subordinates through their mutual connections. There is no trace at all!"

"..."

"Also, next is about the Wallfacers..."

"so far……"

"Ray Diaz and Taylor's plan is already in progress. Thanks to the application of 'neutron jammers', current intelligence shows that Sophon's 'wall-breaking process' against them has been interrupted for many days. It can no longer be like this

I updated my diary so unscrupulously before.”

"However, it is said that the neutron jammer had an adverse effect on some of Taylor's experiments, forcing him to slow down his progress and prepare to find a way to crack it?"

"Although we don't recommend him to do that, we don't know whether he will listen to the advice or not."

"The third Wallfacer, Bill Shines, doesn't seem to be doing anything right now, and I don't know why."

"As for Luo Ji..."

"He is now with our fifth wall-facer Annie. To be honest, I am very worried about their safety, especially...as you know, Annie has now openly declared war on ETO to some extent.

, and even ridiculed ETO all day long?”

"So, I think Professor Luo Ji's behavior of visiting her at this time is very risky and unnecessary."

"It's really not a good idea to bring together two wallfacers who have both been assassinated by ETO many times!"

"We tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen..."

"Moreover, he seems to still have doubts about his responsibilities and doesn't know what the situation is now."

Having said this, Garnin thought for a while, then closed the huge screen and turned it into a floor-to-ceiling window.

Then, he walked back to the secretary-general's desk a little irritably, sighed and sat on the vacant chair, and began to look at Sai face to face across the table.

"Um……"

First, he stared at Garnin's eyes, and then Secretary-General Sai simply put down the pen in his hand, stopped signing and correcting documents, and slowly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the PDC headquarters outside.

The scenery of the island, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

After a while, when Garnin was considering whether to say goodbye and leave, she finally suddenly sighed softly:

"Garning, the recent assassinations prove that our original choice was right."

"Of the five Wallfacers, at least they are afraid of two of them!"

"One of them is from Earth, and the other is Annie..."

"I remember that this was the fourth time they assassinated Anne, right?"

"There are no less than twenty killers dispatched before and after..."

"This scale..."

"It shows that they are afraid, very afraid, and even hand over certain technologies to ETO at the risk of leaking them..."

"And similarly, the intelligence we obtained from within ETO also illustrates this. Maybe this is really our opportunity?"

Having said this, Secretary-General Sai couldn't help but laugh.

The two made Sai feel more and more grateful for their PDC's original choice. Although it was indeed very difficult at the time and it was very difficult for people to make up their mind, but judging from the current situation, it at least proved that their original decision was right. Humanity at least

There is already a little bit of hope, although not much yet.

You know, during this time, escapeism was prevalent. Many people, sometimes including herself, held an extremely pessimistic attitude, believing that mankind on earth would be defeated, or even that mankind would be destroyed?

They even made relevant predictions. If the wall-facing plan does not go smoothly or is not effective, not only will their PDC work be difficult to proceed smoothly in the future, but a new round of great turmoil will break out within humanity. That is not what they want to see.

Arrived.

But fortunately, things are not developing in the worst direction now.

"yes!"

"To be honest, even I find it quite surprising."

Garnin, who was sitting on the chair with his arms folded, nodded, indicating that he completely agreed with Secretary-General Say's point of view just now.

"But!"

"I can understand that they are afraid of Annie. After all, once the neutron jammer is deployed and the mass effect is obtained and fully understood, the threat from Trisolaran civilization will probably not be great."

"But what I don't understand is..."

Having said this, Garnin, who was born in a fighting nation and was strong and rough, stood up, walked to Sai's side, followed him to look out the window at the scenery, and then frowned and asked:

"Why are they afraid of Professor Luo Ji?"

"Is there anything special about him?"

"Is it because of his status as a professor of sociology? However, there are tens to thousands of sociology professors in universities around the world, right?"

"Why was he the only one assassinated?"

"Is it because he is a Wallfacer and can mobilize the resources of our earth?"

"Still..."

"His new topic of 'cosmic sociology'?"

"But at best, that subject can only learn from and study the social structure of the Trisolaran people. There are many similar subjects. We invest tens of billions of funds in them every year, and there is no discussion between the Trisolaran people and ETO.

Those professors who studied their Trisolaran civilization carried out assassinations!"

"I don't understand..."

Yes, he couldn't figure this out.

Similarly, the PDC think tank team also couldn't figure it out. They only vaguely felt that it might be related to Luo Ji's 'cosmic sociology', but how exactly it was related was unknown.

Maybe……

Is that related to Ye Wenjie?

Because according to the PDC intelligence and a lot of valuable information obtained from Luo Ji's notebooks, Ye Wenjie had met with Luo Ji, and after learning that Luo Ji had studied astronomy and sociology, he suggested that Luo Ji go

Study the sociology of the universe and tell him two axioms of the sociology of the universe:

First, survival is the first need of civilization!

Second, civilization continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the universe remains the same?

Moreover, the other party seemed to have reminded Luo Ji of two other terms, namely: 'chain of suspicion' and 'technological explosion'?

But Garning couldn't figure out how that kind of words would be helpful in fighting against the Trisolarans.

Then, Luo Ji originally only planned to use "Cosmic Sociology" to impress academically, so he applied for a project and funding and got it approved. Then he suffered two attacks carefully planned by ETO before he became a Wallfacer.

The matter of assassination.

Note that that was before Logic became a Wallfacer and suffered serial assassinations. If it weren’t for the outstanding abilities of Captain Shi Qiangshi at that time, Logic would have turned into a jar of ashes now!

From this point of view, the number of logical assassinations is only one less than that of Annie, the little alien girl who provided the 'neutron jammer' to deal with Sophon and then prepared to provide the 'Mass Effect' technology.

, the Trisolaris are equally afraid of it and are even afraid of it.

But as for what they are afraid of, Garning and their PDC think tank team can't figure it out.

After all, they can't understand what kind of harm the study of 'cosmic sociology' can cause to Trisolaran civilization. It is just a boring theory of humanities or imaginary, which is the so-called liberal arts, and liberal arts can have

What is it for?

"Don't ask me."

"I don't know either."

Regarding Garning's doubts, Secretary-General Say could only shake his head in confusion.

Obviously, if she had known about that kind of thing, she would have implemented relevant measures and plans against the Trisolaran civilization long ago. How could she be so focused on development and passive defense as she is now?

"Anyway!"

"We just have to do our job well. As for the rest, that is their job and responsibility as Wallfacers."

"We can't help much, and we can't help too much..."

"They can only rely on themselves."

Having said this, Sai sighed, then glanced at the burly Garning next to her, then turned around and walked back to her desk, taking the cup of Dahongpao that had been brewed on it and gently sipping it over ice.

Take a sip.

"That's right!"
