The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

It doesn't matter what happens to the people or things I care about?

If they weren't extremist lunatics, who would dare join the ETO and stand against all of humanity?

Mozi replied with a sinister, cold laugh.

"Hehehe, if it were a Wallfacer officially appointed by the United Nations, naturally no one would have any objections, because it would be the result of everyone's choice and would naturally have legitimacy. But Feng Taylor is just a substitute. He is not Frederick Taylor."

It wasn't everyone who chose Frederick Taylor to become a Wallfacer, but the Wallfacer himself!

We're in the same game, but in different places.

Lin Feng, upon entering the Three-Body game, felt completely disoriented by the pitch-black surroundings.

It is very difficult to encounter such darkness on Earth.

"I thought that after I revealed your identity last time, you wouldn't log in again."

Liang Gong's voice rang out beside Lin Feng.

"Why don't you log in?" Lin Feng asked back.

"Be wary."

Liang Gong was referring to the fact that she had revealed Lin Feng's identity as a Wallfacer.

Lin Feng shrugged indifferently. He was wary, but not much more so than before.

Suzumiya is an ETO, and ETO and Wallfacers are mortal enemies. Suzumiya, as an ETO, chose to save him. Even if it was for other purposes, Lin Feng felt it wouldn't be too bad, so he naturally didn't have excessive suspicion.

"Thank you for what happened last time, Suzumiya. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be dead by now."

"I still don't understand why you wanted to save me?"

Lin Feng was well aware of just how terrifying ETO's surveillance network was.

With the help of the Trisolarans' sophons, they can achieve 100% surveillance of humanity without any blind spots. In the eyes of ETO, the entire human civilization has virtually no secrets.

The risks involved in Haruhi using the game to pass information to him are considerable.

“I have a reason, but I don’t want to tell you. You can guess for yourself,” said Ryougu.

Since Ryoumi didn't want to talk about it, Lin Feng didn't press her. After all, no matter how bad the reason was, it couldn't be worse than ETO's anti-humanity.

"Summer Palace, are you sure you won't have any problems doing this?"

“ETO never shows mercy to traitors, and you are in a dangerous situation right now.”

"If all else fails, you can come to me; I can provide protection."

Lin Feng wasn't exactly a good person, but he was one who knew how to repay kindness. Liang Gong risked her life to pass on information to him, and if Liang Gong died because of this, Lin Feng would never be able to forgive himself.

Lin Feng had thought about the Haruhi Suzumiya incident for a long time, and he had considered forcibly removing her from ETO.

But after careful consideration, he decided to follow his own wishes.

"Protect me? Forget it, you're just a passerby. You're in danger yourself."

"Even if ETO wanted to assassinate me, it wouldn't be that easy. With my current power, protecting someone would be quite simple..."

Lin Feng was interrupted by Liang Gong before he could finish speaking.

"It's not ETO, it's someone else."

……

Leaving the Three-Body game and taking off his V-suit, Lin Feng covered his face with his hands and rubbed his tired eyes.

But if someone could see through his eyes, they would see his rather unpleasant expression.

Soon, Lin Feng's expression brightened and he returned to normal.

His gaze fell on the framed photo on the table, a picture of himself and his father, Frederick Taylor.

Then, Lin Feng picked up the phone and dialed a long-unused number.

"Dad, how have you been lately?"

"I'm fine. I go out for walks every day and occasionally play golf."

Frederick Taylor's voice came from the other end of the phone. He asked.

"Feng, do you regret becoming a Wallfacer now?"

Lin Feng said, "Regret? That's impossible. I've never made a choice that I'll regret in my life."

"I've just been feeling a bit confused lately and wanted to talk to you, Dad."

"Dad, I'd like to have dinner at your place, is that okay?"

During the phone call, Frederick Taylor laughed heartily.

"Of course, what reason does a father have to refuse a child who wants to come home?"

See you later.

After hanging up the phone, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and called the maid over.

"Please make arrangements, I'd like to go back to my father's place today."

"We'll arrange it for you."

……

The news that Lin Feng had left the mansion to go to his father Frederick Taylor's residence quickly spread.

In a room where Lin Feng was unaware of what was happening, a group of people were holding a meeting targeting him.

"Why did Feng Taylor suddenly return to Old Taylor's place? Did the news leak out?"

"Impossible, where did he get the information? The CIA?"

"It's probably because it was repeatedly hit by the ETO's wallbreakers and finally couldn't take it anymore, so it wanted to go back to its safe haven to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, someone immediately gritted their teeth.

"Feng Taylor simply doesn't have the talent to be a Wallfacer. His Wallfacer being breached twice is a disgrace to America..."

"No, their whole family is a disgrace. Including his father, this is the third time their borders have been breached. America has become an international laughing stock."

Others interrupted the former, criticizing Lin Feng and Taylor with even harsher words.

No one present believed they were performing the work of Wallfacers; they were merely incompetent individuals coveting the rights of Wallfacers.

"Even in this state, they still cling to the rights of the Wallfacers; they deserve to die a horrible death!"

"That's exactly why we're gathered here. The plan must be meticulous and done cleanly so that it doesn't implicate us. Old Taylor's death can only be an 'accident'."

These people's plan was simple—Feng Taylor's Wallfacer rights originated from Frederick Taylor, so there was no need to assassinate the heavily protected Feng Taylor; killing Frederick Taylor would suffice.

With the death of Wallfacer Frederick Taylor and the loss of Wallfacer rights, the only option left is to select a new Wallfacer.

When should we take action?

"We can't drag this out any longer. The sooner the better. We need to finish this before that useless idiot who abuses his Wallfacer rights can react. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble once he uses his Wallfacer rights."

“Feng Taylor won’t find out; we have people in the CIA,” someone replied with a cold laugh.

Chapter 41 Dragons Have Reverse Scales

If it were the ETO, it would be very difficult to do this. Frederick Taylor was, after all, a former U.S. Secretary of Defense, and the U.S. agencies were there. Even with the assistance of the Sophon with its complete map, it would not be easy for the ETO to successfully assassinate Frederick Taylor. At least, it would not be any easier than assassinating Lin Feng.

However, the situation is different if it is done by people within the United States itself.

We are all internal personnel of the same country and the same system, not 'external enemies' like the ETO. If problems arise, it won't damage America's reputation, since this is America's internal affair.

"After old Taylor dies, who will become the Wallfacer?"

When someone asked this question, everyone's eyes lit up in the meeting. Who wouldn't like the right to be a Wallfacer?

The United States used to have a separation of powers, but now, including the Wallfacers, it has four powers.

Moreover, in a political sense, it is above the three branches of government.

Although the president has executive power, his term of office is short.

Although the Chief Justice has judicial power and serves for life, he is still subject to legal limitations.

Although the House of Representatives has legislative power, it has a large number of members who are also elected, making absolute control impossible. If such a power existed, the US could be unified by force.

Those who can remain in seclusion are not subject to these restrictions; they hold their positions for life and possess the right to operate across different domains.

A simple statement like "this is part of the plan" can overshadow all criticism and make one appear almost like a dictator.

Who wouldn't want such a right?

……

Lin Feng appeared perfectly normal while having dinner with his father, but Taylor, who knew his son well, noticed something amiss.

"It seems things aren't going well at work."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little tired."

“I’m sorry, I can’t give you much advice because I’m a workaholic who doesn’t know how to rest.” Taylor paused, looking at Lin Feng with concern, “…Feng, if you really can’t handle it, just give up. There are many people, and many smarter than you.”

Frederick Taylor thought Lin Feng was troubled by the Trisolaran issue, but what really upset Lin Feng was not the Trisolarans, but humanity.

Lin Feng forced a smile. "Dad, you should have more faith in me. Right now, I'm second only to Luo Ji in terms of the number of people ETO desperately wants to kill."

Lin Feng knew everything from Ryouko. Tomoko's intelligence was comprehensive, so Lin Feng knew the whole story and context of the information Ryouko passed on.

It was precisely because he understood this that he was so furious.

He was thinking about how to alleviate the crisis during the Great Depression for all of humanity, and how to help the human agents within ETO put the plan into practice.

That's right, he didn't think about the wall-sitting plan, but what good would it do if he didn't? He still put in the effort, even if he didn't achieve anything.

They criticized him as a good-for-nothing and plotted to kill his father and seize his power?

Why did Lin Feng risk his life to become a Wallfacer? It was all so that Taylor, his father in this life, could live a peaceful life!

Family is Lin Feng's Achilles' heel! Touch it and you die!

He hasn't exploded yet only because he's wary of Haruhi Suzumiya and is thinking about how to make it more reasonable so that ETO doesn't notice any clues about his 'discovery'.

"Where are you going?" Taylor asked.
