Neither of them hesitated for a second, just as they had done when they got married at St Paul's Cathedral that year.

"You two can each wear one on your hand, and then make a promise to each other three times. After the promises are made, the blessing will take effect, blessing you to be together forever."

【Hate/h ...

The words of the shrine chief once rang in Hines' ears.

"Keiko, she's right. From now on, we are really together forever."

Chapter 95 You Didn’t Ask Me

Three days later, like other wallfacers, Tomoko announced the details of Hines's entire wallface plan.

When people found out what Hines had done, the abuse directed at him even more than at Diaz.

The PDC also held an emergency hearing for the Wallfacers to discuss the issue of investigating the Steel Seal Clan.

The Steel Seal Clan refers specifically to those space army soldiers who have received the Steel Seal of Thought from Hines. They believe that they will inevitably fail. Once these people are allowed to participate in the future war against the Three-Body World, the consequences will be very terrible.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, I didn't expect that you would be the only wall-facer left attending the meeting so soon." Zhang Huaimin smiled helplessly.

The deaths of Hines and Yamasugi Keiko have been confirmed, and the destruction of ETO has also been confirmed by Tomoko. Everything is true. Lin Xuan completed the third attempt to break the wall of the opponent.

"Assholes, they are all a bunch of fucking assholes."

The Eagle Sauce representative continued to perform steadily and was the first to start a team fight at the PDC conference.

"Hines and Diaz are a bunch of damned bastards. They are committing crimes against humanity. These two guys should be cut into pieces!"

The Mao Xiong representative on the side sneered when he heard this.

"Since Hines is so unforgivable, I suggest that we take out the two representatives who supported him the most and execute them together."

In a word, the representative of the Eagle Sauce fell silent instantly, and the representative of the Gallic Rooster next to him also chose to be deaf and directly ignored the proposal of the Russian Bear.

“But speaking of it, the Wallfacing Plan has now completely failed. Lin Xuan and Luo Ji are the only two wallfacers left.” said the representative of the Will Country.

"And Taylor," the island nation representative reminded.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."

Offstage, Lin Xuan watched these people fighting with amusement.

Lin Xuan roughly understood through Chieko why the Eagle Sauce representative was so angry.

In the early days of the development of the Thought Stamp, the Eagle Sauce secretly used this technology on some space force officers of the North American fleet.

They just made some modifications to the proposition, changing the original proposition used for clones from "Be loyal to the orders of the PDC" to "Be loyal to the orders of the United States."

Everyone knew what they were thinking. Once the Trisolarans were defeated by the three fleets, it would be time for the major countries to divide the spoils.

By that time, civil war is likely to break out again among humans, and the number of fleets they can control will become their bargaining chips for raids on other countries.

"Humanity has never stopped fighting among itself. Even though they haven't seen the Trisolaran fleet yet, they have already begun planning to turn their knives against their own people."

"Boom!"

On the rostrum, Zhang Huaimin knocked on the table with his gavel and waited until everyone quieted down before speaking.

"Everyone, now is not the time to hold people accountable. We should find a way to destroy the remaining thought stampers as soon as possible and find the stampers hiding in the space army."

The specific locations of the thought stamping machines, three of which were exposed by Zhizi when she was explaining Hines' wall-facing plan.

Together with the one in Hines' hand and the one in Lin Xuan's hand, there are a total of six stamping machines.

As for the last one, even Tomoko couldn't find its exact location.

In this regard, everyone unanimously agreed that Hines had deceived everyone again. Perhaps there were only five thought stamp machines in the world, and there was no sixth thought stamp machine at all.

The most difficult part is actually finding those Steel Seal soldiers who have been implanted with the Thought Stamp. There are too many of them in the Space Force, at least several hundred.

Together with the Immortals, these people are almost spread across the entire three fleets.

The key point is that with current scientific and technological means, there is no technology that can identify the existence of ideological stamps.

Hines seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, so when he first recorded the Steel Seal soldiers, he did not record their information, but simply used a string of numbers instead, which made it difficult for everyone to find this record.

Tomoko also tried it, but found that she had never stored this data before. The most she could do was to judge based on the person's face and figure, but that was too vague.

Moreover, this is a good thing. Precisely because they cannot be found, these Steel Seals will create a chain of suspicion among humans. Just like the current trough, this chain of suspicion will continue and bring constant chaos to the entire Space Force.

Just as Tomoko had thought, since they could not catch the Steel Seal Clan in the Space Force, they turned their attention to the Immortals.

The immortals were miserable enough, having to die in the Doomsday War. Now, with the addition of the ideological stamp, they were all labeled as "escapists."

As for the immortals who first spread the ideological seal, although they were all deceived by Hines, they were still relieved of all their positions in the Space Force as a warning to others.

This made the immortals very dissatisfied. Many voices of opposition appeared within the three major fleets, and they were getting more and more intense.

"Oh, right." The Eagle Sauce representative suddenly thought of something very important.

"Lin Xuan, the clone troopers also use ideological stamps, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue fell into dead silence.

Indeed, the clone army seemed to use thought stamps as well. In order to restrict Lin Xuan, all the clones were controlled by thought stamps. If Hines' thought stamp was a false proposition, then those clone troops...

"I use true propositions."

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea calmly, as if she had known these people would ask this question.

He waved his hand and summoned a clone soldier, then pulled out a pistol from the waist of a guard nearby and handed it to the representative of the United States, indicating that he could try it himself.

The representative from the United States loaded the bullet and aimed at the clone.

The clone felt a hint of threat, but it remained unmoved, as if it was struggling with some belief in its heart.

“It is indeed a true proposition.”

"That's not right." The representative of the Italian country quickly discovered the problem.

"If that's the case, Lin Xuan, you actually knew from the beginning that Hines' plan was to create a thought stamping machine for false propositions?"

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"I know. I told you. I also participated in the thought stamp experiment."

"Then why didn't you tell us his plan at the beginning?" asked the British Empire representative.

"You didn't ask me."

"What the hell..."

Several representatives were almost angry to death by Lin Xuan's words.

Listen, is this really human talk?

It's such a big deal. Don't you know what to say if we don't ask you?

Chapter 96 Getting burned

The 23rd year of the Crisis Era, 2030 AD.

The PDC has never stopped its purge of the Stamp Clan. Just as Chieko predicted, failure to find the sixth Thought Stamp Machine will cause the greatest damage to humanity.

Perhaps there really is no sixth thought stamp machine in this world, but once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout on its own without much effort.

Over the past two years, human society's resistance to immortals has grown stronger, from disgust in the beginning to hatred later, it's as if this group has been excluded from human society.

A widely circulated saying among people is: Not all members of the Space Force are Steel Seal people, but all Steel Seal people are immortals.

The reason is very simple. The Steel Seal Clan is hidden among ordinary people and it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people.

If everyone protests and demands a thorough investigation of the Steel Seal Clan, they will inevitably be investigated in the end.

But the immortals are different. They are too easy to distinguish from ordinary people. It can be said that these people no longer belong to the same species as humans.

Therefore, it is wise to target these immortals.

As for whether doing so would wrongly accuse good people, that was not something they needed to worry about. In their opinion, the immortals deserved to die anyway.

Why should you live longer than me just because you are rich and powerful? This is not fair!

Being able to see the immortals suffer misfortune is more exciting than becoming an immortal yourself.

This has led to a very strange social structure for the entire human society.

Ordinary people look down on the immortals, but most of the power and wealth in the entire society are controlled by the immortals, so ordinary people have no choice but to curse the PDC. They think that it is the PDC’s weakness and incompetence that has led to these immortals having power and wealth.

If the PDC could tighten restrictions on the immortals again, they would be the ones with wealth and power now.

The PDC was stunned when they heard this argument.

"Do you think there is a possibility that the wealth and power of the immortals originally belong to them and have nothing to do with whether or not they become immortals by drinking the cell division potion?"

But this is actually a good thing. At least now the contradictions within humanity have shifted from conflicts between countries to conflicts between classes.

The concept of "country" has gradually faded out with the establishment of the three major fleets.

People don't actually hate immortals inherently, they just hate that they are not immortal.

Or to be more precise, in this era where life is getting worse day by day, what they want is not eternal life, but the wealth and power of the immortals.

They mistakenly equated the identity of immortals with wealth and power, which led to the current outcome.

In the evening, Chang Weisi arrived at the Hong'an Base. It was obvious that he looked quite tired.

Zhang Xiang cooked two dishes to entertain him and took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and handed it to Chang Weisi.

"Commander, how come you have time to come here today?"

Chang Weisi picked up the chopsticks and took two simple bites before speaking.

"I have been temporarily suspended. How long I will be suspended depends on what the higher-ups say."

Zhang Xiang was stunned.

"Is it because of the Immortals?"

Chang Weisi nodded and tapped the bowl of braised pork in front of him with his chopsticks.

"Your cooking skills have improved over the years."

When Zhang Xiang heard Chang Weisi's praise, a confident expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Of course, I retained some of the original flavor of the braised pork because I think that only by eating it this way can you know that you are eating braised pork."

Chang Weisi was speechless for a moment.

"How can you not tell the difference between good words and bad words, kid? I mean, aren't you Lin Xuan's bodyguard? Why are you doing the job of a nanny now?"

Zhang Xiang heard this and immediately gave a bitter smile.

"Commander, please stop teasing me. Lin Xuan doesn't need my protection at all. I feel like he's the one protecting me every time."

"Then do you want to consider returning to the Space Force?" Chang Weisi asked.

"Now that ETO has been completely wiped out, it will be difficult for the Trisolarans to cause any more damage to the Wall-Opponents. You might as well return to the Space Force. We are in urgent need of manpower right now."

"This……"

Zhang Xiang seemed a little hesitant. It was obvious that he didn't really want to go back. He had lived in the Red Coast Base for at least ten years. It would be a bit difficult for him to go back and join the army.

Although life with Lin Xuan was always very exciting, Lin Xuan was able to defuse crises skillfully every time, which made everyone around him, including Zhang Xiang, feel very safe.

It seems that no matter how troublesome the problem is, it can be easily solved with Lin Xuan around.

"Hey, General Chang, you came to the Red Coast Base so late at night, aren't you just here to poach people from me?"

Outside the door, Lin Xuan walked in with a smile and sat down opposite Chang Weisi very naturally.

"Zhang Xiang."

Lin Xuan called out, and Zhang Xiang beside her quickly took out a set of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and handed them to Lin Xuan. After Lin Xuan took it, she motioned to Chang Weisi to eat while chatting.

"Nothing, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by for a look."

Chang Weisi picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and glanced at Zhang Xiang next to him.

The latter understood what he meant, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Lin Xuan naturally didn't believe Chang Weisi's nonsense. He had just seen clearly with his smart eyes that the other party had flown directly from Shangjing to here.

He seemed very anxious. There was no need to guess, Chang Weisi must have come to him again to ask something, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he wanted to be a riddler and say it in a roundabout way.
