Chapter 15 Ordinary Wallfacers

"It's been so many years since I last used the Transformation Technique. The last time I used it was when I was training in Fangzhen during my Qi Refining stage."

Luo Qing let out a long sigh, took off his V-suit, casually set up a barrier, and slowly floated onto the sofa.

Even though he knew that this small barrier couldn't stop Tomoko, he still did it subconsciously, as it could slightly alleviate the feeling of being watched.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind racing.

To be honest, Luo Qing really likes the character of Van Gogh.

And his paintings.

Painting is one of the many arts of cultivation in the world of immortality, but compared to paintings that are mixed with profound meaning, the brilliant history of Western oil painting is a purer experience for Luo Qing.

I'll try out the Three-Body Problem game next time I have the chance.

If Luo Qing's assessment is correct, as long as humanity does not shut down the three main root servers in New York, Tokyo, and the North, the network groups in various countries will not be able to eradicate the "Three-Body Problem" game, as this game is rooted in the internet ecosystem.

The Trisolaran civilization's advanced information-age technology indeed surpassed that of humanity, which had just entered the information age.

Of course, it was precisely because "The Three-Body Problem" was ahead of its time that Luo Qing had the opportunity to invade. If it were a human pure code program, he really wouldn't have had any good solutions.

—He's never been a programmer.

The names Luo Ji, Hines, and Radiaz alternated in Luo Qing's mind. The interrogator told him that among the five, Luo Ji was the only Wallfacer without a Wallbreaker.

And Chairman Sai once said this to him:

"Luo Ji is the only person the Trisolaran civilization specifically wants to kill."

Luo Qing countered, "Does he possess special powers like me?"

Sai clearly stated:

"No, he doesn't possess any supernatural or advanced technological powers. He's just an ordinary person, an ordinary scholar, an ordinary Wallfacer, but the Trisolarans are terrified of him. Of course, they might be terrified of you in the future too."

Luo Ji's name was finally chosen from the three. After thinking for a moment, Luo Qing decided to go to Northern Europe as his first stop to have a chat with this fellow Wallfacer.

It would be even better if we could find out why the Trisolarans feared Luo Ji.

'I play games with my friend Luo Ji all day. As online friends and colleagues, it's only natural for me to visit him. I'll also bring a small gift for my nephew, and for Zhuang Yan and her husband… Hmm, that's part of the plan too.'

Luo Qing thought to himself.

...

The world of The Three-Body Problem.

The virtual sophons have disappeared, and three virtual stars in the sky are evenly distributed in an equilateral triangle. Each of them is slightly brighter than the stars, providing a minimum amount of light and heat for the game's Eternal Era.

Mozi poked the administrator's skin with his wooden staff, and it felt soft and limp, like freshly cooked rice noodles.

"Will the meeting continue?" Newton asked. This shattered the illusion.

"Open," said Qin Shi Huang.

"Then I'll log off and call them back online."

"No need," Qin Shi Huang stopped Newton. "We are enough. We can finish discussing what needs to be discussed and then issue the results."

Facing the gazes of the remaining people, Qin Shi Huang knew he had to say something extra. He said in a deep voice, "Luo Qing's provocation in the game has received a response from the Lord. Now we have two orders from the Lord."

"They are: killing Luo Ji and killing Luo Qing."

"The first command required it to be completed as soon as possible. The second command gave us 400 years."

“We won’t live for 400 years,” Mozi said.

“But hibernation is possible, and future ETO members can too,” Aristotle said.

Qin Shihuang nodded: "It's clear that even though Luo Qing has shown the ability to infiltrate the Three-Body game, the Lord's primary focus remains on Wallfacer No. 4. For us, this may be a mystery that can never be solved." "I can't understand the Lord's thinking. Is he really that important?" Von Neumann, standing to the side, picked up the limp administrator, then lit a fire and threw the administrator into it.

The flames quickly burst into a raging fire.

Because the three suns were quite far apart, the temperature on the pyramid platform was dropping rapidly, and the remaining dozen or so people naturally squatted by the fire to warm themselves.

Qin Shi Huang said, "The threat shown by the fifth Wallfacer makes it even harder for us to understand the Lord's thinking. Of course, it is normal that we cannot fathom the Lord's strategy."

Einstein, who had remained silent until now, said, "Don't overthink it, just do as the Lord says."

Qin Shi Huang nodded: "There is also good news. The Lord has decided to transfer technology to us to help us kill Luo Ji and deal with Luo Qing."

This news didn't generate much excitement among them. Mozi said with envy, "The Lord has always been wary of us. I'm afraid even if he were to pass on technology, he wouldn't do so much. Just like the Three-Body game that the Wallfacers saw through, it doesn't mean much. Unless the Lord tells us the truth and why he is so afraid of Luo Ji."

Qin Shi Huang shook his head: "I asked this question long ago. The Lord will not tell us the answer. He said it is the greatest secret in the world."

Aristotle spoke softly: "Evans might know the secret inside."

"But he's already dead."

Einstein further emphasized: "Don't overthink it, just do what the Lord says."

But Mozi and Newton clearly didn't listen.

Mozi removed his wooden mask and threw it into the fire, revealing his somewhat pale and sickly face. He said:

“Some things are Evans’ fault. If he hadn’t been so nosy and insisted on adding more restrictions, Luo Ji would have been dead five years ago. If Luo Ji were dead, we would only need to focus on dealing with Luo Qing now. As for the other two Wallfacers, nobody cares.”

Newton moved forward, getting even closer to the ball of fire: "Luo Ji is lucky. Who would have thought he would wear a bulletproof vest to the United Nations? That level of vigilance is something not everyone has."

Mozi said, "Dealing with Luo Ji or Luo Qing is not my job. My job is to deal with Rediaz. You guys figure it out. It's too cold here. I'm going back."

Having said that, he threw the wooden staff in his hand into the fire, adding the last fuel to the flames, and then disappeared in a flash of white light.

Seeing this, Aristotle shook his head and said, "My job is to be the Wallfacer Hines. Goodbye." With that, he threw the scroll in his hand into the fire and disappeared in a flash of white light.

The platform suddenly became even more deserted, with the last few ETO members looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, von Neumann took two steps forward.

Seeing that everyone thought he was leaving too, von Neumann simply shrugged and said, "I'm not leaving. My subject of work is already dead. I just want to say that you can consider Oppenheimer's suggestion later. Although nuclear bombs are violent, they can always achieve their goals in the simplest way. Although Luo Ji's residence is under a nuclear bunker, he may not have the opportunity to hide inside."

After saying that, von Neumann walked into the flames.

"I'll burn myself to warm everyone by the fire. Let's brainstorm and come up with a good idea!"

The remaining ETO members looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Qin Shihuang frowned. The Three-Body Problem game could simulate pain to a certain extent, and being burned to death probably wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

As he said these words, von Neumann was already burning with rage. He raised his hands high, made a hoarse sound, and finally turned into a lump of charcoal.

Instead of taking the opportunity to warm themselves by the fire, the remaining people quietly sat further away, preferring to stay cold.

Einstein stepped forward: "Very good. These self-important wall-breaking people have all left. I have just reviewed the list of technologies that the Lord can pass on to us, and it is very comprehensive. It includes, but is not limited to, materials science, biology, and microscopic technology, and all of these are things that we can do at this stage. This shows that the Lord has once again strengthened His trust in us."

"It's also possible that Luo Ji and Luo Qing pose too great a threat," someone said.

A young man seemed to have been thinking for a long time before suddenly speaking up: "I suspect that Luo Ji may be the spokesperson for some kind of power, and this power far exceeds that of Luo Qing himself."

"He himself did not know this, nor do we, but the Lord knows."

Qin Shi Huang and Einstein simultaneously stopped the man from further discussion on this topic: "Galileo, let's stop talking about this and think about how to fulfill the Lord's command."

Qin Shi Huang rose and used his long sword to extinguish the flame that von Neumann had kept burning with his own body. The ashes scattered everywhere, and the pyramid platform suddenly became even colder.

Qin Shi Huang said, "Alright, everyone log off now. I'm going to extract the following message and send it to all my comrades:"
I know everyone is under a lot of stress lately because of Luo Qing, but don't worry too much, the Lord is our support. The mission of killing Luo Ji is very important; if we can accomplish it, ETO's importance in the Lord's eyes will greatly increase.

Moreover, the Lord has already given us sufficient technical support. Our organization gathers elites from all over the world, and with innovative thinking and the Lord's technological support, we will surely find a way. Even using the most basic method available in nuclear weapons, everyone should gather their proposals through other channels and bring them to me. This matter must be addressed urgently!
