The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

“No, that would certainly be considered an act against humanity, but Feng Taylor never devised a plan to kill all of humanity with ball lightning. His plan has always been the macro-electronic energy storage plan, which is a slander by the ETO!” the lawyer replied firmly.

"We've all seen the video. How do you explain Mr. Feng Taylor's reaction and those words after his wall was broken by the wallbreaker?"

Miller pointed to the image projected on the projector and questioned him.

The lawyer said, "Those words precisely prove that Feng Taylor is innocent. I consulted Mr. Taylor, and he was also very shocked by the Wallfacer's announcement of the Wallfacer's plan. That's why he turned around and asked the Wallfacer those questions."

“An excessive enthusiasm for ‘energy’ cannot serve as strong evidence, because the Macro Electronics energy storage project also requires a lot of energy. Your evidence is insufficient to prove that Feng Taylor is guilty.”

Miller frowned slightly, glancing discreetly at the jury and the gallery, sensing that something was amiss.

Knowing he was not suited for judicial debate, Miller handed the case over to his lawyer, Jones, who then requested witnesses to appear before the Chief Justice.

Jones asked, "Mr. Williams, when you were still a major general, did you have any disagreements with Feng Taylor after he succeeded to the Wallfacer position?"

"Yes."

Williams nodded.

"Is your argument related to the Wallfacer Project?" Jones asked again.

"Yes."

Jones continued with his third question, "Back then, Feng Taylor asked you, if he wasn't fit to be a Wallfacer, then who was? You said, 'Anyone would do, as long as it's not you,' is that right?"

“Yes,” Williams continued in response.

"Were you dismissed by Feng Taylor because of that argument, who said it was 'part of the plan,' and labeled an ETO member?" Jones asked the fourth question.

"Yes."

Williams nodded again.

"Your Honors, it seems the truth has come to light," Jones said to the courtroom.

Heh, Feng Taylor, I bet you're dead this time!

Miller, sitting next to Jones, almost couldn't help but laugh. Everything was too easy. Normally, a court trial would take a long time without going through complicated debates and convictions.

However, the human Wallfacer, Feng Taylor, does not enjoy this treatment!

Because now everyone is afraid of him, and everyone wishes he would die soon!

Miller couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Lin Feng, but when he looked in Lin Feng's direction, he saw something strange. Lin Feng was not in despair as he had expected, but was wearing a faint smile, as if he didn't care about anything in front of him.

why?

Why can he still laugh at this moment?

Chapter 13 What do you ETOs have to fight me with?

"Wait, Your Honors, we also have some questions we'd like to ask the witnesses," Garcia, the lawyer hired by Lin Feng, requested from the Chief Justice.

"can."

One of the chief justices nodded in agreement.

Lawyer Garcia questioned former Major General Williams.

"Mr. Williams, could you please explain in detail the content of your argument at the time?"

Williams thought for a moment and replied, "When Feng Taylor held the meeting, he talked too much about irrelevant things. At that time, because of the failure of the previous Wallfacer, I was prejudiced that Feng Taylor was not capable of succeeding as Wallfacer."

"Is this what you're arguing about?"

Attorney Garcia countered with a question, and Williams glanced subtly at Miller's plaintiff's seat before nodding and giving a righteous and stern reply.

"Yes, the Trisolaran threat is urgent. We cannot let those who lack the ability waste all of humanity's time."

“I understand your anxiety. So, do you think Feng Taylor is suitable to be a Wallfacer?” asked lawyer Garcia.

“No one is more suitable than him,” Williams replied confidently, then sighed, “To be honest, I do have some regrets. After learning about Feng Taylor’s macro-electronic energy storage plan, I realized that Feng Taylor truly possesses the abilities of a Wallfacer. I was simply asking for trouble…”

When Williams got to this point, even Miller, who was probably slow-witted, realized something was wrong and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Wait! You're misleading our witness!"

Miller's voice drowned out Williams's, interrupting him from continuing.

Lawyer Garcia, puzzled, asked, "Inducement? How so?"

"I need to speak with my witness."

Miller made an application to the Chief Justice, and after receiving the Chief Justice's permission, Miller eagerly left the plaintiff's seat and went to the witness stand.

He questioned Williams as quietly but sharply as possible.

"What the hell are you doing? This isn't what we agreed on!"

"Don't forget, it was Feng Taylor who made you lose everything!"

Williams answered simply, "Sorry, we've already reached an agreement."

"You think Feng Taylor is trustworthy? This is your only chance to turn things around!" Miller asked through gritted teeth.

They were so close to confirming Wallfacer Feng Taylor's crimes against humanity, but then this mishap happened.

It was so close! How could Miller accept this? How could he explain it to the organization?

"...This is indeed my only chance to turn things around, but you don't understand anything at all. Whether I'm here or not, the outcome of this trial will not change."

Williams's pitying gaze startled Miller; it was the same look he had given Feng Taylor earlier.

Only then did he become alert, glancing around in astonishment. He finally realized something was amiss in the courtroom he was in, and understood why Feng Taylor had been so arrogant when he entered, and why the gallery and jury had remained so quiet until now…

Miller scanned the surrounding gazes and finally met Lin Feng's eyes. He understood the meaning behind Lin Feng's ambiguous smile—"Stupid, aren't you? Judge, lawyer, jury, witnesses, spectators, the entire courtroom is my people except for you. What can your ETO do against me?"

Miller looked around again and saw that bailiffs had blocked all the passageways in the courtroom, and the number of bailiffs in this courtroom was far greater than in a normal courtroom.

The moment Miller does anything out of line, he'll be arrested.

Miller is trapped! He can't escape!

Realizing the harsh reality, Miller returned to the plaintiff's seat, pale-faced, without uttering a word. He dared not even think about the fate that awaited him.

This court trial was just a show.

A play performed for all of humanity, with Lin Feng and government agencies as the main characters.

When the initial public opinion was stirred up, Lin Feng took the initiative to communicate with the United Nations, stating that the so-called quantum ghostification of all mankind was nonsense from ETO.

The human elites were not fools who would believe everything Lin Feng said. At first, they did not believe Lin Feng's nonsense, which was the exact opposite of the situation with Lin Feng's father, Frederick Taylor.

At that time, no matter what Frederick Taylor said, the human leadership believed that the plan to break through the wall by the Wallbreaker was fake. But no matter what Lin Feng said, the human leadership believed that the plan to break through the wall by the Wallbreaker was real.

There's no way around it; the overlap is too high. Both the macro-electronic energy storage plan and the quantum ghostification of all humanity require distributing spherical lightning energy storage devices all over the world and accumulating massive amounts of energy.

This is like putting a knife to someone's neck and saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to cut you, I'm just holding it to your neck."

Whether it's true or not, a person with a knife to their neck will always have some doubts.

Eliminating this sense of crisis is also very simple: just let the person with the knife to their neck hold the knife themselves, and the sense of crisis will naturally be resolved.

Therefore, Lin Feng proposed to the United Nations that the Hong Electronics Energy Storage Project be handed over to the United Nations for full management, and that he would no longer have any connection with the Hong Electronics Energy Storage Project.

The sense of crisis among the upper echelons of humanity has been resolved, but that of the lower echelons has not, which led to this self-directed trial of the Wallfacers.

Of course, if it were all self-directed and self-acted, it would be too fake, so Lin Feng was waiting for the ETO to make accusations against him.

The Chief Justice and the jury were all pre-arranged, and the people in the audience were actually agents. Even Miller's lawyer, Jones, was on Lin Feng's side.

While Miller wasn't looking, the agent revealed to Jones that he was an ETO member. Jones, no matter how stupid he was, wouldn't want to get involved with the ETO, so he easily betrayed them.

Williams was in a similar situation. When he was preparing to appear in court, the agent told him that as long as he cooperated, he could be reinstated and clear his name. On one hand, it was simply a malicious revenge against Lin Feng, and on the other hand, it was to restore his powerful and influential status.

Kids might choose the former, but adults will generally choose the latter. Choosing the former isn't necessarily useful, and even if it is, you won't get anything in return. But with the latter, everything you've lost comes back, and it's a tangible benefit.

As expected, the entire court trial ended as a mere formality. Lin Feng was acquitted, while Miller, the plaintiff, was convicted of defamation and ordered to pay $360 million in damages.

That is to say, almost all of his wealth belongs to Lin Feng.

But that wasn't the end of it. The CIA and other US intelligence agencies came knocking, presented him with irrefutable evidence that he was an ETO member, and took him away.

Major media outlets have spoken out, guiding public opinion.

The media storm stirred up by ETO subsided quietly, after all, the internet's memory is as short as a goldfish's, lasting only seven seconds.

Chapter 14 Blessings, All Blessings

Through the live news broadcast, the ETO organization quickly realized that something was wrong with the court. Through their own connections, the organization members managed to obtain only a little bit of information.

Although it is not yet clear what exactly happened between Lin Feng and the higher-ups in humanity, some clues have been vaguely discerned.

By comparing this clue with the intelligence held by the organization, it is easy to notice the differences in intelligence.

This is a very dangerous sign, and all ETO members are aware of the danger.

This means that Sophon did not provide ETO with the correct intelligence, and Trisolaris abandoned ETO!

Panic nearly overwhelmed them. ETO found the representative of the Three-Body world in the Three-Body game world, Sophon, who had transformed into the form of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Lord! Why? Why do this? Everything we ETOs do is for you! So that you can come to us smoothly! Please don't abandon us again!"

Mozi knelt down on one knee, filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy, to express his loyalty to the Trisolarans, fearing that the sophist before him might suddenly disappear at any moment.

A group of people followed him and knelt on one knee.

The Three-Body Problem unilaterally severed contact, which has happened before.

If the Trisolarans hadn't severed their connection with Evans, the Second Red Coast Base would never have been found, the Guzheng Project would never have succeeded, and humanity might not have realized that the Trisolaran fleet was coming to destroy human civilization until it was about to arrive in the solar system.

Because of this precedent, ETO members are now afraid that their Lord will betray them a second time.

This is a warning; you've done much more than necessary.

The Wallbreakers' job is to help the Trisolarans uncover the Wallfacers' disguise, not to have you do meaningless things.

Tomoko looked down at the ETO members kneeling on one knee as if they were ants.

The Three-Body Problem really didn't want to see ETO's actions this time.

The Three-Body Problem reorganized into ETO, choosing the Wallbreakers with the aim of using them to see through the Wallfacers' disguise and relying on humans to expose their lies.

Then came preventing humanity from leaving the solar system and assassinating Luo Ji.
