Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 12 Qin Shi Huang, von Neumann, Mozi, Aristotle

Three suns arranged themselves in an unstable triangle in the sky, casting eerie light upon the desert. Temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius almost melted the earth, making it resemble dim glass.

"Administrator, please bring up a Stellar Era. Are you aware that there will be a meeting soon?" Aristotle's cold voice rang out.

After a while, time was fast-forwarded, and the two suns quickly turned into shooting stars and flew away, leaving only one star hanging in the sky.

The pyramid's spire was as if cut off by a sharp blade. Aristotle stood on the pyramid's platform, her robes fluttering in the wind. She was always the first to arrive.

"Why are there only a few people?" A gentle voice came. Aristotle turned his head and saw Mozi staring at him while wearing his wooden mask. Compared to Aristotle, who was empty-handed, Mozi was holding a wooden staff.

Aristotle scoffed: "Van Gogh failed to break through the wall, he was arrested, and the Lord's video scared away a lot of comrades. These cowards don't even dare to play games anymore."

Mozi stood side by side with Aristotle: "Don't say that. The bolder ones have all become sashimi in the Panama Canal. It is because the remaining comrades are cautious enough that we have survived until now."

Beyond the two, another tall figure approached, carrying a weathered bronze sword with nicks on its blade, seemingly caused by a long time ago when it was used to cut through flying rocks.

He is Qin Shi Huang, and also the only surviving veteran leader of ETO from the Ye Wenjie era.

Qin Shi Huang said, "I am the representative of the seven-person core leadership team. It was a mistake to release the video of the main general."

Mozi and Aristotle knew that the video Qin Shi Huang mentioned was about Luo Qing.

More and more people gathered around Qin Shi Huang, and the quiet square platform gradually became noisy.

Ignoring the commotion, Qin Shi Huang continued, "In the video provided by the Lord, the Wallfacer Luo Qing has far exceeded the power that we humans should have. Existing scientific theories cannot explain all of this, and panic is spreading in the organization."

Unlike the third-person perspective of the human fighter jets, the perspective provided by the Sophon is a standard first-person perspective, vividly showing the entire process of Luo Qing chasing and killing the Sophon that unfolds in a lower dimension. The video details are crystal clear, and the audience can even feel the terrifying power rising from Luo Qing's body.

Because it's a first-person perspective, the viewer's sense of immersion is extremely strong. Many viewers felt as if they were being cleaved in two by the overwhelming sword light along with Tomoko, and when they came to their senses, they were already covered in a cold sweat.

The massive ETO organization is struggling to breathe because of this video.

The agreed-upon online time arrived quickly, and the number of attendees was a full third less than at the last gathering.

The whispers on the pyramid platform continued.

"Can anyone explain that video?"

"If even the Lord cannot explain it, who among us can?"

"Humans are really ridiculous. The aliens were already a big deal, and now a god has popped up."

"There are no gods or immortals. Anyone who says such a thing will have their account banned by the administrator!" The last sentence was shouted by Newton.

“Lord Niu, you used to be a believer in God,” someone joked.

"That's enough. I'm just using Newton's image. I'm not Newton himself."

Seeing the increasing chaos on the platform, Qin Shi Huang brandished his long sword, which struck the bluestone floor of the pyramid heavily, sparks flying.

The crowd quickly fell silent.

"We'll discuss Luo Qing, the Wallfacer, later," Qin Shi Huang said.

Hundreds of ETO members gathered in the pyramid square, their appearances varied: some dressed as ancient Eastern scholars, others in Western Renaissance attire, each wearing a mask or using the system's facial blurring function.

Apart from Van Gogh, the other three wall-breaking figures are all here now.

Von Neumann leaned against the wall, seemingly having already fulfilled his mission, and showed little interest in the meeting.

Mozi and Aristotle exchanged a glance, and in the end, Mozi stepped forward.

He said to everyone, "PDC recently had the Wallfacers give performance reports. I've read them all; they're all just repetitive statements. But I think the ETO's Wallbreakers should also give their own performance reports." Someone shouted, "Why bother with performance reports? Stop fooling yourselves! The Wallbreakers are a joke; a real genius has emerged from the Wallfacers!"

"Administrator!" Newton roared, barely containing his anger. "Record his ID, kick him out, and then have the offline security team handle him!"

"Why should I?" the man shouted.

"You're undermining your own morale while boosting the enemy's!"

"It is a fact that a deity appeared among those who faced the wall! The Lord himself confirmed it!"

"So you do know the Lord! Why don't you defect to the PDC, to the Wallfacers, or to the gods?"

"Why would I defect? ​​My goal is simply to destroy humanity. I don't care who does it. Come on, Newton, tone down your bull-like bravado. My authority in the organization is no less than yours. Administrator, mute Newton!"

"How dare you!" Newton roared, but he soon found that his language box had been erased.

"Enough." Qin Shi Huang touched the ground with the tip of his sword again, and Newton's silencing was lifted. He pointed his sword, and the person who opposed Newton was immediately swallowed by a white light and disappeared from the world of "The Three-Body Problem".

"I've given Leibniz a title. Newton was right when he said that now is the most critical time, and we really shouldn't be plunged into internal strife."

Qin Shi Huang's gaze once again swept across the entire room, and wherever it went, except for Mozi and Aristotle, everyone avoided looking at him.

"The Wallbreakers will now complete their reports; no one should disturb them. And Newton, you should also remain silent."

"Mozi, the second wall-breaker, please continue."

Mozi nodded, tapped his wooden staff lightly, and continued, "I know that everyone has a fear of Luo Qing, the Wallfacer. That is humanity's fear of the unknown. But comrades, please do not forget one thing—our Lord is not afraid of him."

"We know that the Trisolaran First Fleet is still at sea, and more than a dozen probes have been launched towards Earth even faster, and will arrive in less than two hundred years. All of this shows that the Lord has the ability to deal with the threat of the Fifth Wallfacer."

"Based on Zhizi's video, comrades should be able to draw a simple conclusion: the personal power of Wallfacer No. 5, Luo Qing, is still within the scope of human understanding; it is nothing more than the ability to move mountains and overturn seas."

"And the power of the Lord is beyond our imagination."

"Admittedly, the power displayed by Luo Qing, the Wallfacer, makes him resemble the immortals in ancient Chinese mythology. But the so-called immortals are nothing more than the imagination of the ancients. The power of the Lord is beyond the reach of even the most imagining ancient people. The so-called divine power of splitting mountains and breaking seas in the video is nothing more than a drop in the ocean in the face of the vast rules of the universe."

"Van Gogh's failure is understandable, after all, no one can imagine that the wall-faced person they are monitoring is actually a cultivator."

Mozi smiled and explained, "The concept of 'cultivator' is borrowed from the movies 'Cultivator Alliance 3: The War of Sects' and 'Daoist Sect Master 2.' As the fifth Wallfacer himself starred in the movie, I think the concept of 'cultivator' is quite fitting. As the movie says, he is not a real immortal, but just a human being who is 'cultivating immortality.'"

Aristotle nodded slowly upon hearing this, while many others looked thoughtful.

"Van Gogh's failure to break through the wall does not mean that the strategy of wall-breakers has failed; we have already succeeded once."

As he spoke, Mozi looked at von Neumann, who gave him a weak smile.

"Our number one wallbreaker has already broken through Taylor's wall. This former US Secretary of Defense eventually died by Luo Ji's lake, didn't he?"

"Therefore, we can only say that we have had our share of wins and losses with PDC."

Von Neumann neither confirmed nor denied this.

Mozi raised his wooden staff high.

"And this game of breaking down barriers is a best-of-five series. The barrier-breakers are me and Aristotle. And the Lord doesn't care about this game; everything is just beginning."

"As for Luo Qing, the fifth Wallfacer, the Lord will find a way to deal with him."
