Collapse, surrender to me!

"..."

Luo Ji and Shi Qiang were speechless for a moment when they heard the sound of steel twisting and saw the girl in front of them lifting the car with one hand.

Of course, Luo Ji and Shi Qiang recognized Gray Xiu.

Almost everyone on earth knew about the grand ceremony to welcome Grace.

Alien, friendly civilization, one small step for Graceau, one giant leap for mankind...

But precisely because of this, Luo Ji was greatly shocked.

Because this proves that his Dark Forest Theory has been refuted.

Chapter 356: The Dark Forest is full of blind boxes!

"Aren't you hurt?"

At this moment, the police came over in a panic and asked with concern.

As soon as the interstellar friend arrived, a car accident happened in front of him.

This is a severe blow to the image of Earth.

“Do you often have car accidents here?”

Gray Xiu asked casually and grasped it directly.

The police officer began to sweat profusely. What he feared came true.

"how can that be possible?!"

The police officer quickly said that the cars were in the sky and there was plenty of space.

"It's not like two centuries ago, when cars were all on the ground and it was so dangerous. Now it can be said to be very safe, with only a few traffic accidents a year worldwide."

"This time it was the autonomous driving AI that malfunctioned, the driver fell asleep, and did not switch to manual mode, which led to the accident. We will definitely punish him severely!"

The police officer then said to Luo Ji and Shi Qiang.

"Okay, you are now under surveillance by the police system. You will be notified of the progress of the case. But please believe me, this is just a normal traffic accident. Regardless of whether you report it or not, you will be compensated."

"Can these two people accompany me for a walk?" Gray Xiu pointed at Luo Ji and Shi Qiang.

"As you wish."

……

After leaving the police and the scene of the incident.

"How...should we call you?" Shi Qiang and Luo Ji looked at each other.

They didn't even think of Grace as a person.

It is normal for alien civilizations to take on the appearance of humans.

"Just call me Gray."

The girl pinched Luo Ji.

"You look confused?"

"..."

How could he not be confused?

After all this trouble, his understanding is wrong? But it shouldn't be like this. He went through so much trouble to hide the truth from Tomoko, but it's wrong. This is unscientific.

Maybe this alien, Grayshu, knows something, and he has a lot of questions now.

But before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Dashi.

"We'd better go back to my place as soon as possible. I always feel uneasy when I'm outside. My place is not far away. We can talk about it when we get back."

"Ah? Hasn't the Earth Trisolarian Organization been destroyed?"

After hearing what Dashi said, Luo Ji looked around.

In the distance, the car that had fallen into the accident had been lifted away by a large flying car. The onlookers dispersed, the police car also left, and a municipal engineering vehicle landed. Several workers got off the vehicle to pick up the scattered debris and began to repair the damaged ground.

After a brief commotion, the city returned to calm.

"Maybe, but you have to trust my instincts, bro."

"I am no longer a Wallfacer."

"That car didn't seem so accidental... Watch out for cars on the road when you walk."

They tried to walk under the "shade" of the tree-shaped buildings as much as possible and ran over when they encountered open areas.

Grayshu was floating nearby, watching the two people advancing in broad daylight like a thief stealing a dog.

I almost couldn't hold my breath.

Soon, they came to a wide square. Dashi said, "It's just across the street. It's too far to go around. Let's run over there quickly."

"Isn't this a bit suspicious? Maybe it was really a traffic accident." Luo Ji looked at the people around him who looked at him as if he was crazy, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Isn't it still 'maybe'? It never hurts to be more thoughtful—"

Luo Ji and Shi Qiang looked up as they walked, and suddenly they heard a loud noise from the ground, and then their feet felt empty and their bodies fell downwards.

Then, Grayshu picked them up one by one.

The two men stared blankly at the hole on the ground. It was a hole like a sewer entrance. Just before they stepped on it, the cover slid open.

"Oh, ah! Are you okay, sir?! This is really dangerous!"

The voice came from a billboard nearby, which was posted on a kiosk like a beverage vending machine. The speaker was a guy in blue work clothes. His face was pale, and he seemed even more scared than Luo Ji.

"I'm from the drainage department of the Municipal Third Company. The cover opened automatically. It might be a software system failure."

"Does this happen often?" asked Dashi.

"No, no, it's the first time I've encountered this anyway."

Dashi picked up a pebble from the grass beside the road and threw it down from the hole. It took a while before a sound was heard.

"Holy shit, how fucking deep is this?!"

Gray Xiu glanced at the dark cave entrance: "About thirty meters."

"The accident has been recorded. You..." The young man in overalls glanced at his sleeves and said, "Oh, Mr. Luo, you will get compensation from the Third Municipal Company."

"..."What could Luo Ji say?

But then he discovered what it meant to be plagued by disasters.

The billboards that fell from the sky, the broken wires exposed on the ground, and the out-of-control drone almost cut off his head.

It seems that this world is not the Three-Body Problem, but Death is Coming.

But with Grayshu around, he won't die.

"I now believe it's not a coincidence." No matter how naive Luo Ji was, he knew that if there were too many coincidences like this, it would be murder.

But the Dark Forest Laws he understood were all wrong, so why kill him?

Regarding this point, it is estimated that only Grace can answer his doubts.

After a lot of trouble, they finally walked into the trunk hall of tree No. 1863 where Shi Qiang lived. Shi Qiang lived on branch 106 near the top of the tree. He suggested eating downstairs before going up.

They walked into the restaurant on one side of the hall. In addition to the cleanliness like 3D animation, another feature of this era was more obvious here.

There are dynamic information windows everywhere, on the walls, tables, chairs, floors and ceilings, and even some objects, such as water cups and napkin boxes on the dining table, all have operation interfaces, scrolling text or dynamic image displays, as if the entire restaurant is a large computer display, showing a colorful and shining splendor.

There were not many people dining there, so they chose a table by the window and sat down. Shi Qiang tapped on the tabletop, activated an interface, and started ordering dishes. "I don't know foreign words, so I'll just order the ones with Chinese characters... And Ge, Greyxiu, what do aliens eat?"

“I eat everything.” Grayshu said casually.

But then he said that he found Shi Qiang and Luo Ji staring at her, and the complex emotions in their eyes made Grace speechless for a moment.

"I won't eat you."

The expressions in Luo Ji and Shi Qiang's eyes did not change.

"... and they don't eat other Earthlings either."

no change.

"...and don't eat other aliens."

no change.

"I'll just eat the Trisolarans, okay?"

His eyes lit up.

"No, do you have alien PTSD? I'm not some monster that can't live without eating people."

Grayshu was overwhelmed by the looks from Luo Ji and Shi Qiang.

These two people always seemed to think the most horrible things about her.

"The main reason is that the pressure that the Three-Body aliens brought to the Earth in that era was too great." Luo Ji sighed.

"And now there is no pressure at all, right?"

"...I suspect that during the time I was asleep, the Renaissance...it's better to say that we were invaded by the culture of the Three Body."

Luo Ji's tone dropped.

"Just like the people on Earth now, the display screens on their clothes will show their thoughts and emotions."

Disguise, deception, trickery, and misleading are the most powerful weapons that humans on Earth have against the Three-Body Aliens. However, today's Earth civilization has actually abandoned this only advantage, and the entire world has become transparent like the Three-Body Aliens.

This is obviously a big problem in the development of civilization.

Luo Ji noticed it, but was powerless to do anything.

"Look at this restaurant. It looks like it was built with display screens as bricks."

"Yeah, any smooth spot will light up."

Da Shi took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Luo Ji.

"Look at this, it's just a box of very cheap cigarettes."

As soon as Luo Ji took the cigarette box in his hand, he saw a dynamic image start to display on it. It was a few thumbnails, and it seemed to be a selection interface.

"This... is just a kind of film that can display images." Luo Ji looked at the cigarette box.

"What kind of film is this? You can surf the Internet with this thing!" Dashi said, and stretched out his hand to randomly tap the cigarette box. A thumbnail image sank like a button, and then the selected advertisement filled the entire cigarette box.

Luo Ji saw a picture of a family of three sitting in the living room. The image was obviously from the past, and a shrill voice came from the cigarette box.

"Mr. Luo Ji, this is the era you once lived in. We know that at that time, owning a house in the capital was everyone's most magnificent dream. Now, Green Leaf Group can help you realize it.

You see, in this beautiful era, houses have become leaves on trees. Green Leaf Group provides you with a variety of leaves. Of course, we can also build traditional houses on the ground for you, so that you can return to the warmth of the golden age..."

Da Shi took the cigarette box from Luo Ji, took out the last two cigarettes, handed one to Luo Ji, then crumpled the empty cigarette box into a ball and threw it on the table. In the crumpled paper ball, the image was still shining, but the sound disappeared.

"Every time I arrive at a place, the first thing I do is to turn off all the things in front of and around me. It's troublesome." Dashi said, using his hands and feet to close the display windows on the table and on the floor under his feet one by one.

“But they can’t live without this.”

He pointed around.

"There were no such things as computers at that time. If anyone wanted to surf the Internet, they could just find a flat surface and click on it. Clothes and shoes could also be used as computers. Believe it or not, I have even seen toilet paper that can surf the Internet."

Upon hearing this, Grace pulled out a napkin out of curiosity. It was ordinary paper that could not be used to access the Internet, but the box containing the napkin was activated, and a beautiful girl appeared on it.

Unlike the advertisement on Dashi's cigarette box, the one playing on the tissue box is a documentary about the earth, showing Grace how beautiful the earth is today.

Of course, there are also the 2000 warships that we are proud of.

It seems that different things are recommended to different people.

Similar to an upgraded version of big data.

Grace took the tissue box and clicked for a while.

I just feel a bit bored.

Because these things may look fancy, but they are just at the level of a portable computer.

AI is slightly stronger than Baidu, but not much stronger.
