The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

……

Lin Feng waved his hand after returning to his private social media platform, and a coffee table and tea set appeared on the white snowfield.

Lin Feng sat down on his own and then gestured to the two of them.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen. Let's talk."

Yanlan and the other girl exchanged a glance but did not sit down.

"Don't be so formal, we're just chatting. Hines and I are old friends."

Upon hearing Lin Feng mention their teacher's name, Yanlan and the other girl looked on in realization.

"Did you save us because of the teacher?" Yanlan asked.

Lin Feng took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"That's part of the reason."

"Judging from his anxious appearance, he probably treats you as his daughters."

Yanlan shook her head. "You shouldn't have saved us. If we don't receive the punishment we deserve, others will surely follow our example. At that time, the strategy of humanity's non-existence will also collapse. The most important thing is to nail us to the pillar of historical shame to warn future generations."

"What's the point of that?" Lin Feng said.

"Uh……"

The two girls never expected that Lin Feng, who held a high position, would suddenly utter such a vulgar remark.

"Humanity never learns from history. It has, it is, and it will be. Whether you are nailed to the pillar of historical shame or not, there will always be people who do the same things as you. This is the inevitability of history."

"You think punishing you will solve everything? You're being too simplistic. Throughout history, there have been tortures that inflict far greater pain and fear on criminals than the death penalty: branding, slow slicing, dismemberment, skinning, and so on. Has any of these completely eradicated the act of breaking taboos? No, right?"

"This is not simply a matter of rules, but a problem with humanity itself; there will always be people who want to break taboos."

At this moment, the assistant beside Yanlan retorted, "But at least in this respect, humanity will take precautions and impose restrictions. As long as this is done, then everything has meaning. The death penalty and torture do indeed suppress the human crime rate to a large extent."

Lin Feng shook his head. "The absence of strategy and crime are not the same. The crime rate only needs to be suppressed to a very low value to ensure social stability. But the absence of strategic information closure means that even if 99% of people firmly maintain the state of information closure, as long as 1%, no, as long as just one person does something worse than you and takes the initiative to break it, human civilization will be exposed."

"Even if it can be maintained at 100% for a short period of time, there will always be people who want to reproduce. What will the descendants of these atomic humans think? Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years... As time goes on, there will always be someone who, for some reason, will take the initiative to break the information blockade that does not exist in the strategy and expose civilization."

Seeing the two growing disappointed, Lin Feng added, "Besides, I don't save just anyone... Aren't you going to be honest with me?"

"What?" Yanlan was taken aback.

Lin Feng continued, "The Atomic Network is not your private residence before atomization. This is a world made up of data. Your little secrets will not be able to be hidden if you dig deep enough."

"I don't understand what you're saying at all."

That's what they said, but this time Yanlan's eyes showed a bit more hesitation, while the other girl was much more determined. But it was no use, Lin Feng had solid evidence.

"So you should be able to understand this conversation, right?"

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the coffee table, and a dialogue message popped up.

[Do we really have to do this?]

This must be done. Our situation will not be the first, nor the last. People must be made aware of the dangers as soon as possible. For this, we need to be nailed to the pillar of historical shame and despised by everyone. This is a good ending for everyone.

"This is impossible! We checked it so many times! It's been completely deleted!" Yanlan exclaimed.

Lin Feng replied calmly, "I just used a hidden door that I had laid before. After all, betraying civilization is a major event that will shock all mankind, so I couldn't possibly not investigate what exactly happened."

"However, things are a little different from what I expected. I originally thought that all of this was Hines's arrangement, but it turns out it was your own idea..."

"You actually have better options, so why choose to take this extreme approach?" Lin Feng asked.

Walking the path of sinners and leaving them with no way to go is not necessarily wrong, but it is too extreme, and someone must make sacrifices for it.

Just report the problem if you notice it; not all of humanity's higher-ups are a bunch of good-for-nothings who take advantage of the chaos.

Chapter 329 People can't stay still.

"Because...because it's really painful," the girl beside Yanlan said, her voice trembling with tears.

Yanlan continued, “When we discovered that the culture of that civilization was so similar to that of humans, we belatedly realized how cruel and tyrannical our past actions had been. The overwhelming sense of morality that we felt when we learned that others were still excited about carrying out radio massacres almost crushed us.”

“We want to end all of this, but the responsibility of civilization is equally heavy. How can we betray our own civilization? These two burdens are suffocating us.”

"This is a good arrangement for everyone. Human civilization will become more vigilant because of us, and unstable factors like us will certainly try to limit them. That civilization will then have a chance to survive, while we will be judged and truly liberated."

Lin Feng sipped his tea again and asked, "So, a world where only your loved ones feel sadness is thus created?"

"..."

Lin Feng shook his head with a hint of disappointment. "There are so many destroyed civilizations in the universe. Many of them didn't even have the chance to live, but you want to die. That's too pretentious."

"You probably haven't participated in any wars, have you?"

Before Yanlan could speak, the quiet girl beside her spoke first.

"Bai An!"

Yanlan reminded her companion to be careful with her words.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, but did not speak.

Bai An said, "Watching one civilization after another being destroyed, watching those people struggle in the face of death, watching women in civilizations being engulfed by flames to protect their children but still unable to stop them from dying, watching them die one by one in the vacuum of dehydration, suffocation, and mutual cannibalism..."

"If I remember correctly, your era wasn't too far removed from war, was it? Is carrying out a massacre something to be approving?"

"The destruction of civilization is no child's play! It is a far more tragic thing than the genocide of your time!"

"Why don't you stop this broadcasting? Just to gather intelligence on the Hessen strike? Why not broadcast to other uninhabited stars?"

Lin Feng sighed softly, put down his teacup, and slowly spoke.

"The strategy of non-existence is a good plan, but humans are not very compatible creatures because they will never settle down completely and focus on making themselves 'non-existent'. There will always be people among humans who want to do something, whether it is good or bad. When people realize that they are in a cage, some will want to break out of this cage."

"This restless spirit cannot be eliminated, because it is humanity's enterprising spirit towards the unknown. Eliminating it would mean that the entire civilization would become stagnant. The current broadcasting behavior is essentially a compromise with human biology."

“Malicious broadcasts are better than well-intentioned exchanges. At least they can make people constantly aware that they are in a dark forest and could face destruction at any moment.”

“Your situation is somewhat complicated, but it’s not impossible to have a result that satisfies everyone, and that also aligns with your wishes.”

"Go register at AHSMC."

"what is that?"

The two girls exchanged a glance; they had never heard of this AHSMC before.

"The death of atomic humans," Lin Feng said calmly.

……

In a binary red dwarf star system, on a blue-purple planet, two humanoid beings are arguing inside a tall white building.

“Sorrick, this is nothing but a pointless prank. Get out of my office now.”

The humanoid creature buried in the pile of documents said impatiently to the humanoid creature standing next to it.

“Commander Moro, please listen to me, I’m serious,” Sorik replied solemnly, holding the document he had edited some time ago.

The boss, Morrow, finally lost his temper and slammed his fist on the table, making all the documents on it shake.

"I'm serious! I have a lot of work to finish, I'm busy right now, and I don't want to hear your ridiculous alien stories! Get out of here right now!"

Sorik opened his mouth, but seeing that his boss was no longer paying attention to him, he wisely turned and left.

She had just stepped out the door when she turned back and said, "...Then could you please ask for leave for me? I don't have time today either."

Moro was taken aback, then snapped angrily, "Where are you going? I haven't approved your leave yet!"

“If you don’t agree, I’ll resign. I’m going to find someone who can help me contact my superiors,” Sorik said indifferently.

After several twists and turns, Sorik finally found someone willing to help him contact his superiors, and he was able to make contact with them as he wished.

"You're saying you deciphered this message from that data packet of unknown origin?"

Sorik nodded seriously. "Yes, General Babaru, it's a data packet encrypted with an unfamiliar algorithm. It can be confirmed that a new encryption method was compiled from the underlying data chain."

"And you believe this information is authentic? This data packet comes from an alien civilization? What other crucial evidence can prove it?" General Babaru scanned the documents and reports sent by Sorik with a blank expression.

“I can’t be sure whether the data packet came from an extraterrestrial civilization, but I think it’s necessary to give it enough attention,” Sorik replied.

General Babaru asked, "The listening stations that various countries have cooperated to set up around the world have been established for eighty milliseconds, and to this day we Byronians have not heard a single alien's cosmic call. You're telling me, where did the aliens come from? Aliens from the planet Balenbi, the planet of the Three Lights Milliseconds next door?"

General Babaru tossed Sorik's report aside and continued asking questions.

“Sorrick, it’s not that I don’t want to believe you, but this… is completely illogical. One piece of information doesn’t prove anything. I could edit up as many similar pieces of information as I want. This might just be a prank by some cyber thief.”

"And this content is full of loopholes, like 'If your location is exposed, you'll be attacked, run away quickly'... What kind of logic is this? Are you crazy? I'm right in front of you right now, my location has definitely been exposed to you, do you have any desire to attack me?"

"..."

When asked by General Babaru, Sorik remained silent.

He did know that General Babaru was right in front of him, but he really had no desire to attack.

If that's the case, then on a cosmic scale, why would a civilization want to attack another civilization simply because it knows the other's location?

This is clearly illogical.

"See? It's self-evident." General Babaru shrugged.

Sorik and General Babaru were unaware that there were other people in the room where they were talking.

Two atomic beings responsible for monitoring them are communicating via quantum entanglement.

"Why can't they see the Dark Forest? Don't they have a chain of suspicion?" an Atom asked his companion in surprise.

The companion replied, “Yes, but the chains of suspicion on planets are short and fragile; simple communication can break them down. Chains of suspicion on celestial scales are much more pronounced.”

"They don't have ETo, so they even doubt the authenticity of the information itself."

Chapter 330 The Great Unified Civilization

Approximately twenty-six years later, a luminous object approached Byron's civilization's parent star system at near the speed of light.

The object was very bright. Even before it flew in, Byron's listening station observed very bright spectral lines, and at the same time, the gravitational wave receiving station also received a very strong gravitational wave signal.

Such a significant astronomical discovery naturally caused a sensation throughout the Byronian civilization.

The existence of extraterrestrial civilizations became the most discussed topic among Byron's people. Some believed that the luminous object was a gift from an extraterrestrial civilization, while others believed that it was a natural phenomenon in the universe.
