The look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Xin was no longer full of love. The sun in his heart was setting little by little, and then it was completely reduced to darkness!

When a person loves you to the extreme, then when the emotions change, his hatred for you will also be extreme.

Yun Tianming reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Cheng Xin. His anger had swallowed up the only remaining love he had for Cheng Xin!

He wanted to roar.

He didn't understand why things turned out like this?

But soon, he understood.

Looking at Cheng Xin in front of him,

For the first time, Yun Tianming discovered that his eyes were filled with Cheng Xin's shadow, but in Cheng Xin's eyes, there was no trace of himself.

"Her love is for everyone, everyone is the same."

Hu Wen’s words echoed in Yun Tianming’s mind again.

She has a handful of candies and gives them to everyone she meets, but you insist that the candy she gave you is the sweetest!

You have been being too sentimental!

"I was so stupid. I thought if I gave her a star, she would come to see me crying? I thought if I gave her the world, she would fall in love with me!"

"Hahaha, how ironic! I did so much for her to live well, but she came here to kill me."

"They asked me to die peacefully, but how can I really die peacefully? This is definitely the most painful way to die for me."

Cheng Xin seemed to be feeling guilty and did not dare to look Yun Tianming in the eye.

"Tianming, you know that humanity is now under threat from the Trisolaran world. We need you, and we will launch you into space. If you are successfully captured by the Trisolarans, you may still have a chance to be resurrected..."

"Be resurrected, and then be tortured by them every day?"

Yun Tianming sneered.

"Cheng Xin, you are a doctor of aerospace. Do you know what the Trisolarans will do with my brain? They will connect my brain to various sensors and conduct various experiments. A human brain must be very valuable for research, right?"

"And what they are most interested in must be the pain processing of the human brain. They will torture me madly. I have no hands or feet, and I can't even commit suicide. The most I can do is suffer brain shock. And all of this will be caused by you!"

Cheng Xin shook her head slightly.

"Don't think so, Tianming. Maybe the Trisolarans are friendly. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Trisolarans are extremely rational beings. They may not torture you. Your body is very weak now. If I send you to the Trisolaran world to revive you, using their technology, you should be able to get rid of the pain of cancer. I am saving you!"

"Besides, if you don't want to, you can just reject my proposal. At worst, we can find someone else to do the Ladder Project."

Yun Tianming gradually calmed down at this time and nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

"My sister wants me to die, and you want me to die too. You both want me to die, so I'm going to die!"

When he said this, his voice was unusually calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

This is because Yun Tianming no longer needs to express his emotions to the outside world, he will put all his emotions into action.

When Cheng Xin was about to say something, Yun Tianming suddenly picked up a fruit knife on the table, pointed it at Cheng Xin and stabbed her!

……

The Ladder Project completed final preparations a few months later.

It was no surprise that Yun Tianming became the executor of the Ladder Plan.

Originally he had several competitors, but in order to ensure that Yun Tianming could successfully become the executor of the Ladder Plan, Thomas Wade secretly killed several backup candidates who were most likely to become the executor.

Yun Tianming failed to kill Cheng Xin.

After the knife pierced Cheng Xin's body, the blade quickly retracted.

It was a small plastic knife prepared by Yun Tianming, similar to a movie prop. After it was actually stabbed out, the blade would shrink and would not cause any damage.

But Cheng Xin knew that her relationship with Yun Tianming had been completely severed by that one knife.

Moreover, what was severed was not only Yun Tianming's feelings for Cheng Xin, but also his last ties to the human world.

"I will not assist humans in completing any work. As for whether I will assist the Three-Body World, it depends on what I see of them."

Yun Tianming made shocking remarks at the final swearing-in ceremony.

But Thomas Wade applauded directly because Cheng Xin found the most suitable candidate for him.

"You're crazy. He said he won't help humans. If we send him to the Trisolaran world, what if he helps the Trisolarans instead?"

"We think so, and the Trisolarans will think so too. He is the most suitable spy." Wade said.

Cheng Xin started to regret it the day after that knife attack.

Conscience and responsibility tore her apart. Finally, she couldn't help but go to see Wade and asked to revoke Yun Tianming's identity as the person carrying out the Ladder Project.

The reason is that his academic qualifications are too low and he cannot undertake such an important task.

But Wade just smiled.

"Do you know what he was doing in the five months before you met him?"

Cheng Xin shook her head.

She didn't know Yun Tianming beforehand, and she wouldn't even have remembered this person if the classmate who came to New York hadn't mentioned him.

"He worked hard for about five months in the Red Coast Third Base of the Wallfacer Lin Xuan to implement the Super Dream Project and built a huge database system."

"At the same time, he has also been instilled with a vast amount of knowledge, so in terms of the amount of knowledge, he is now at least a quasi-doctor."

Wade seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled.

Cheng Xin was very familiar with that smile; it was the smile of despair that Wade was about to admire.

"You know, building a database model is a difficult job. It basically requires a lot of imagination and knowledge."

"But Lin Xuan told me that Yun Tianming only had one model that he built without any knowledge reserves, and it was built quite perfectly."

Wade pointed at Cheng Xin.

"That's your model, which means that he, or he used to, always had you in his heart!"

Chapter 35 The best punishment!

Cheng Xin almost rushed out of the office, but it was too late. Yun Tianming's brain had been successfully removed.

She slumped on the ground, as if all her strength had been drained away.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong and why Yun Tianming hated her so much?

He could clearly choose to refuse to become the executor of the Ladder Plan!

January, Year 4 of the Crisis Era.

The Ladder Project progressed very smoothly under Wade's personal supervision.

In early October, Yun Tianming's brain was loaded into a detector and frozen.

Unlike conventional hibernation, in order to ensure that this brain can successfully cross the entire solar system and be captured by the Trisolaran fleet, it needs to be quickly frozen and preserved.

The detector freezes the entire brain to an ultra-low temperature. At this point, for humans, the brain is already dead. After all, humans have not yet developed the technology to thaw it without destroying its overall structure. They hope that the Trisolarans have the technology to thaw it quickly.

Finally, with the rocket's tail dotted, the probe was launched into space.

Immediately afterwards, a dense number of Topol intercontinental missiles were launched and entered the predetermined orbit together with the probe.

They are arranged on both sides of the detector, forming a nuclear explosion, accelerating the detector stage by stage to one percent of the speed of light.

Then, the probe carrying Yun Tianming's brain disappeared from people's sight and was about to head straight for the Three-Body Fleet.

The radiation sail of the probe did not break as in the original plot, thanks to Vadim's calculations. It was the redundancy he added to the probe that ensured the safety of the probe.

The Ladder Plan was a complete success, and Cheng Xin naturally became the biggest contributor.

But she was not happy at all, instead she often had nightmares.

She dreamed that Yun Tianming was in front of her, speaking to her with a ferocious look on his face.

"You killed me. I died because of you. Vadim was also killed because of your plan!"

This almost became Cheng Xin's inner demon.

Therefore, she submitted her resignation application to Yu Weimin, hoping to be withdrawn from PIA's work and transferred to other departments of PDC.

But this proposal was quickly rejected unilaterally by Wade.

"The Ladder Plan needs someone to follow up on this project. You are the one who proposed this plan and you are also an acquaintance of Yun Tianming. Naturally, you are the best person to follow up. If you choose to resign, then the Ladder Plan will most likely fail. At that time, all our efforts will be in vain."

Cheng Xin was ultimately unable to resign from PIA. Just as Wade said, both Vadim and Yun Tianming had devoted themselves to this project and sacrificed their precious lives.

If they choose to resign, their sacrifice will be meaningless.

In the end, Cheng Xin submitted a new leave application to Yu Weimin, and this time the application was quickly approved by Yu Weimin.

When Cheng Xin was about to walk out of the office of the Hua Xia deputy director, Yu Weimin suddenly stopped her.

"Cheng Xin, actually, at the beginning, the internal vote of PIA was for you to be the executor of the Ladder Project, but Director Wade rejected this proposal. He believed that giving your brain to the Trisolarans would only waste precious detectors, because with your weakness, you simply cannot withstand the impact brought by the Trisolaran world."

Cheng Xin nodded slightly.

She knew that Yu Weimin was trying to comfort herself and not blame herself too much, but she would actually rather the brain being sent to the Three-Body Fleet was her own. Unfortunately, Wade was right, she simply didn't have that ability.

"Oh, right!"

Yu Weimin suddenly thought of something and said to Cheng Xin.

"Weid said that he hopes you can go to the Red Coast Third Base to meet the Fifth Wallfacer Lin Xuan. Yun Tianming left some things for you when he worked there."

……

China, Kunlun Mountains, Red Coast Third Base.

Cheng Xin met Lin Xuan.

This was not the first time they met. When Lin Xuan just became a wallfacer, Cheng Xin went to PDC to submit the first version of the ladder plan.

However, the meeting was rather hasty. Lin Xuan merely left a positioning device on Cheng Xin's body and then turned and left. The two of them hardly had much substantive communication.

"I deeply regret the death of Yun Tianming."

Lin Xuan let out a long breath. The plot had come to this point, which was beyond his expectations, but also reasonable.

"In fact, I have suggested before that he should be put into hibernation. We have been working hard on researching drugs to fight cancer. If he is hibernated for more than ten years, his lung cancer should still be curable."

"But he insisted on going back and participating in your ladder program."

Lin Xuan's words were like a bolt of lightning to Cheng Xin!

This was the second time she felt guilty after Yun Tianming's death.

"So, you actually deprived him of the right to live."

Lin Xuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Cheng Xin's heart hard.

"No, this isn't right!"

Cheng Xin's emotions were close to collapse.

"It was his own choice, I didn't force him to do anything!"

"He participated in the Ladder Program voluntarily. I just... I just conveyed PIA's meaning. It's not my fault!"

Cheng Xin only felt an invisible hand pinching her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe, and the scene in the nightmare reappeared around her.

This time, even Vadim was there, condemning what she had done!

Lin Xuan didn't say anything, but took Cheng Xin to the Mewtwo database.

"Put it on. The gift Yun Tianming gave you is inside it."

Lin Xuan pointed to the consciousness extraction device connected to the database and handed it to Cheng Xin.

The latter took the helmet, put it on her head, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Cheng Xin opened her eyes again, she was already on a playground.

There is flat grass under my feet and rows of teaching buildings in the distance.

The breeze caressed Cheng Xin's cheek, and the sunshine on her brought her a feeling of warmth.

Such a comfortable environment made Cheng Xin relax unconsciously. She was too tired. Since accepting the ladder plan, she had never had such a relaxing moment.
