In this way, Zero naturally became a member of the task force, responsible for protecting Luo Ji's safety.

Compared with the combat Sophon, the actions on the disguised Sophon are much more difficult.

After disguising herself as Lin Xuan, Chieko originally wanted to try to use Lin Xuan's power to issue some tasks to the Ground Union.

As a result, she soon discovered something very embarrassing.

Although Lin Xuan is nominally the highest authority in human history, it seems that he has never had the habit of issuing orders since the beginning of the Deterrence Era, and he rarely even appears in public.

This is also one of the reasons why he was gradually forgotten by people.

Therefore, if the disguised Sophon issues orders now, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

So she had to try to ruin Lin Xuan's plan, but something even more speechless happened.

People from Lin Xuan’s group include Wang Miao, Ding Yi, Cao Bin, Bi Yunfeng, Bai Bing, and Wei Cheng.

These people are simply a bunch of freaks. They each have their own ideas and research directions, and the disguised Sophon has no chance to interfere.

There were several times when she almost exposed her identity while pretending to be Tomoko because she wanted to deliberately lead the other party to stop the experiment.

She was really speechless.

None of Lin Xuan's people are worry-free. I really don't know how she managed to control these fake dads when she was around.

Chapter 174 Something happened

The force field space is a cage, which not only binds Lin Xuan but also traps Chieko inside.

The two men sat facing each other. On the chess table in front of them, the black and white pieces had fought for hundreds of rounds, but the winner was still undecided.

"So, you're not the only one, Tomoko, right?"

Lin Xuan, holding the white chess piece, quickly placed a piece on the board to suppress Chi Zi's continuous offensive.

"You probably already know the answer."

Chieko smiled and also made a move, forming a circle on the chessboard, trapping Lin Xuan's chess piece inside.

"From your tone, are you sure you've got me?"

Lin Xuan chuckled and instantly placed a piece down. Although this move failed to remove Chieko's blockade of him, it did extend the chess piece in his hand outward a little, forcing Chieko's encirclement to expand outward a little further.

"It's just a fight of trapped beasts. The strongest defense is often destroyed from the inside." Tomoko laughed.

As she spoke, her slender fingers gently picked up a chess piece and dropped it into Lin Xuan's encirclement.

It seemed that she deliberately exposed a flaw to Lin Xuan, but in fact, this was the first step for the other party to break down Lin Xuan's defense from within.

"The advantage is already obvious, Mr. Lin Xuan. Without sufficient layout, you can only make a final struggle."

……

The verification of the basic theory by the Circumsolar Accelerator has resolved the Trisolaran scam.

In fact, it can't be considered a scam. After all, knowing the "Knowledge Sealing Code", it is normal for the Trisolarans to hide their technology from humans.

However, this still led to a stalemate in the relationship between humans and the Trisolarans. Humans also gradually realized that the Trisolarans now had basic deception capabilities. This was not a very good sign and indicated that humans' only advantage was disappearing bit by bit.

The hawkish representatives also took the opportunity to get involved. They used this incident to demand that the Trisolarans disclose more intelligence and technology in their technical communications as compensation for this deception.

The result was unexpected.

In the past, when the Trisolarans faced various threats and conditions from humans on Earth, they would make up a false excuse to deal with it, or just give some insignificant technology as compensation.

But this time, the Trisolarans chose to refuse directly.

And his attitude is very tough, completely different from the previous look that could be bullied at any time.

This strange reaction of the Trisolarans immediately aroused the high alert of the top leaders of the Earth Union.

"The sudden change in attitude of the Trisolarans is definitely not groundless. Something that we don't know about must have happened in the dark, giving the Trisolarans the confidence to reject our conditions," Luo Congmin analyzed at the conference.

“How come you see?”

The person who asked the question was a committee member who was born in the Era of Deterrence. He did not think there was anything wrong with the change in the Trisolarans' attitude, so he expressed deep confusion about why Luo Congmin and others had mobilized such a large number of people to hold a meeting and discuss the issue.

"This is very simple. Our previous technical exchanges with the Trisolarans were actually under an unequal treaty." The AD official from the Crisis Era stood up and spoke slowly.

"An unequal treaty? To the Trisolarans?"

There was an uproar in the conference hall. To be honest, although many people knew that the conditions that humans had proposed to the Trisolarans over the years were indeed a bit excessive, this was the first time in history that it was elevated to an unequal treaty.

After all, people who said this in the past were either regarded as traitors to humanity, or were rebuked with remarks like "The Trisolarans didn't say anything, so what qualifications do you have to speak for them?"

And now, at this meeting, this word was brought up again.

"Yes, it's an unequal treaty. Let's put aside the standpoints of the two civilizations and look at the demands made by the human side from the perspective of the Trisolarans over the years. Aren't the unreasonable conditions the majority?"

Everyone was silent when they heard this.

Silence means consent.

"But let's take a look at the reaction of the Trisolarans. They have almost never opposed these unreasonable demands. Although we now know that most of their offers are false and they have always used deceptive tactics against humans, they have never opposed or rejected these conditions in direct peace talks."

"This phenomenon started in the Deterrence Era. As for the reason, it's not hard for you to guess. They are quite afraid of us because of the threats from the Sword Bearer and Lin Xuan."

"As for their attitude towards us before the Deterrence Era, I won't say anything. Everyone here has experienced or studied that period of human history, so don't think that the Trisolarans are always easy to talk to. They just did that out of necessity."

"But why aren't they afraid of us now?"

Luo Congmin tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pointing out the most critical point of the problem.

Everyone fell silent again. This time, everyone's breathing quickened. An answer was already evident in their minds.

"Something must have happened to the swordsman or the observer!"

Chapter 175 Specific plan?

"Dr. Cheng, your memory has been cleared. You can now integrate into normal human society. I wish you a happy life."

After completing the final memory scan for Cheng Xin and confirming that the Mewtwo database had completely deleted the most painful memory from her mind, Dr. Delock smiled and helped Cheng Xin take off the consciousness extraction device on her head.

"Thank you, doctor."

Cheng Xin had now regained her sunny and confident demeanor, and gave Delock in front of her a sweet smile.

From this moment on, she will completely get rid of the demons in her heart and say goodbye to those painful memories.

But at the same time, Cheng Xin always felt empty inside, as if she had forgotten the existence of someone.

"Who is it?"

Cheng Xin couldn't help but want to recall it, but the Mewtwo Database had completely deleted its existence from her mind, leaving not a single trace. No matter how hard Cheng Xin tried to think, she couldn't guess the other party's identity.

It seems that there is such a person in my life, but I can never find out who he is from my memory.

The way that Super Dream Database deletes memories is similar to the way people in the 20th century used to treat depression by destroying the patient's frontal lobe.

It’s just that the side effects of the Mewtwo Database are smaller.

It will first strip away your memory, and then erase the part of the memory that makes you feel painful. After deleting this part of the memory, the Mewtwo Database will simultaneously compare it with other humans' memories of this part, or similar memories, extract data, and complete the memory.

For example, if the patient is a student who has suffered from depression due to school bullying, then the Mewtwo Database will directly remove this memory, delete the process of his being bullied, and fill in the deleted gap with the memories of other people.

The new memory that is finally merged may be that the person being treated forgets about the bullying incident, but is still aware of the existence of these bullies.

Or maybe their memories are confused and they only remember that it was not themselves who were bullied, but others.

This memory completion and repair method is like the one-click acne removal of Meitu Soft. Although you can find that the photo is somewhat unreal if you look closely, it is acceptable at first glance.

After all, compared with traditional psychological counseling and untying emotional knots, this rough and simple treatment method is more effective.

Although this method does have its hidden dangers, it is perfect for awakening large numbers of hibernators.

Dr. Delock quickly completed the discharge procedures for Cheng Xin and provided her with the address of a hibernator rescue center.

"Go find a job of your own. This will help you adapt to society faster. I see from your profile that you are a doctoral student at Beihang University. Although you lived hundreds of years ago, you are still young. I believe it won't take long for you to reintegrate into human society."

"Thank you."

Cheng Xin really hasn't figured out what to do after hibernation. As far as she knows, PDC no longer exists in this era.

PIA had long been disbanded, and Director Wade had committed suicide in the Doomsday War, which made Cheng Xin feel a little sorry.

She also wanted to ask why the other party wanted to kill Vadim.

Until this moment, Cheng Xin still remembered that Vider killed Vadim. The Mewtwo Database only helped her delete the memory about Yun Tianming. She still had an impression of the Ladder Project.

But in her memory, Yun Tianming was already a member of PIA, so Cheng Xin didn't feel anything was wrong about his participation in the Ladder Project.

But now Yun Tianming is dead, Wade is dead, and everyone in PIA is dead, so Cheng Xin had no choice but to let this issue be shelved forever.

Now, the most important thing she has to do is to find a job of her own in the shelter as soon as possible.

After Cheng Xin left, Dr. Delock returned to his office with a smile.

As soon as he entered the office, he couldn't wait to lock the door, leaned back in his chair and connected to the Mewtwo database.

He wanted to see what Cheng Xin's memory was like.

This is a personal hobby of Dr. Delock, snooping into other people's private memories.

After completing his treatment of patients, he likes to retrieve their memories and look at their scars to understand the cause of their illness.

Eating melons is Delock's biggest hobby. Driven by curiosity, he has witnessed one heart-wrenching or bloody story after another, and he remembers them with relish every time.

But this obviously violates his professional ethics as a doctor, so he only keeps this little secret when he is alone.

In Delock's opinion, as long as he kept the secret in these people's memories and didn't tell them, there wouldn't be any big problems.

What's more, he is not the only one who has this hobby. It is estimated that many of his colleagues will do similar things, but everyone just knows it tacitly.

Opening Cheng Xin's memory, Delock began to check the deleted part of Cheng Xin's memory, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh, very interesting. The Ladder Plan. I've seen this in history books. It turns out that Dr. Cheng is the one who proposed the Ladder Plan."

"Uh, my god, she actually sent the person who loved her the most to the experimental table. This... this is too ironic."

"Ah, poor girl, her life is such a tragedy. No wonder she is so crazy and has such a strong rebellious mentality towards the Mewtwo Database."

Just as Dr. Delock was watching intently, he did not notice that a dark shadow had slowly emerged behind him.

"Pfft!"

Delock's expression froze on his face, and his head slowly fell off his body, revealing Tomoko standing behind him.

Chieko, wearing a black combat uniform, slowly put away the high-frequency cutting knife and glanced coldly at Delock, whose body had been separated.

Then, she picked up the terminal device that was connected to the Mewtwo database, played with it in her hand for a while, and shook her head slightly.

"No, we still can't invade the Mewtwo world."

Chieko crushed the device in her hand into a pile of metal scraps in annoyance. She had just tried to hack into Mewtwo's database and delete the memory of Cheng Xin that the other party had browsed.

It turns out that it’s impossible.

The decentralized connection method made it almost impossible for her to start. Unless she could modify the super dream devices of 50 billion people at the same time, she would not be able to delete the data at all.

Therefore, she had no choice but to upload several layers of encryption devices to this memory. Except for Lin Xuan, no one else in the world would have the authority to open this memory.

After dealing with these, Tomoko stretched out two fingers and inserted them into the power interface in the wall.

In an instant, crackling electric current shot out along her hand and ignited a pile of documents on the table.

After erasing all traces of her presence, as the fire gradually grew bigger, Tomoko threw Delock's head and headless body into the fire, creating the illusion that the other party was burned to death, and then turned and left.

……

"The problem may be much more serious than we think."

After finishing the meeting, Luo Congmin went directly to find Zhang Xiang. After all, there are not many people he can trust now, and Zhang Xiang is one of them.

"You mean to say that one of your father and your brother has lost the threat to them?" Zhang Xiang said in shock.

"It's more likely to be my brother." Luo Congmin said.

"It is unlikely that anything will happen to the Sword-Bearer. If something happens to the Sword-Bearer, the Trisolarans' attitude towards us should not just be to reject the unequal treaty, but to directly choose to occupy the Earth." Luo Congmin shared the analysis of a group of staff at the conference.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there is something wrong with the deterrence system itself. Don't be nervous. This is just my guess. In short, the problem is either with these two people or with the weapons they control."

Luo Congmin kicked the intelligent electron shielding device next to him to make sure that it could hide their entire conversation.

"Why are the Trisolarans afraid of my dad?"
