Chapter 171 I understand!
Lin Xuan's sudden reaction startled Zhi Zi. She hadn't expected the other person to become so agitated after hearing her words.
However, upon further reflection, Tomoko immediately felt relieved.
"I understand!"
"You're worried that Cheng Xin will become a target of public criticism after becoming the Swordholder. You just want her to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life in the Deterrence Era."
"What a touching love story!"
Lin Xuan was completely speechless at this point.
You don't know anything! That's not what I meant at all!
At this moment, Yun Tianming, who was also using a sophon to observe the situation on Earth, was completely stunned.
"What... what's going on?"
"Does Lin Xuan like Cheng Xin?"
"Absolutely impossible, okay?"
"These two people should have never met before."
While others were unaware of the relationship between Lin Xuan and Cheng Xin, Yun Tianming knew it all too well.
Lin Xuan seemed to have a natural aversion to Cheng Xin, an aversion that even he couldn't quite understand.
Back when they were still on Earth, Yun Tianming had asked Lin Xuan this question.
Lin Xuan's initial answer was quite intriguing.
"Cheng Xin represents the majority of humanity. They are blind, naive, and have a high opinion of themselves. They like to imagine their own behavior and feel good about themselves."
"The power of the masses is great, but their goals are often blind."
"And Cheng Xin is precisely the best among them."
Yun Tianming couldn't quite understand how the Trisolarans had connected Lin Xuan and Cheng Xin.
As one of the parties involved, he felt completely bewildered.
Suddenly, a possibility popped into Yun Tianming's mind!
"I understand!"
"This must be some kind of plan by Lin Xuan to make the Trisolarans mistakenly believe that there is some kind of connection between him and Cheng Xin!"
Yun Tianming slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Yes, that must be it. Given Lin Xuan's terrible personality, this must be another one of his plans that has taken effect."
Lin Xuan has fooled the Trisolarans more than once or twice. Ever since Lin Xuan became a Wallfacer, the Trisolarans have never won a single battle against her in terms of strategy. It is likely that this is another part of Lin Xuan's plan.
While secretly speculating in his mind, Yun Tianming decided to cooperate with Lin Xuan.
He began writing down the stories between Lin Xuan and Cheng Xin on the computer in front of him.
Most of these stories took place around the time when the Trisolarans had just arrived on Earth, which the Trisolarans had no way of verifying, so they were all made up by Yun Tianming.
Meanwhile, the Trisolarans, with the materials provided by Yun Tianming, further confirmed the relationship between Lin Xuan and Cheng Xin. Their actions, to some extent, completed a complementary information chain, causing the misunderstanding to grow larger and larger.
The Three-Body leadership quickly devised a comprehensive strategy targeting Lin Xuan.
For nearly a century, they have been trying to find a way to deal with Lin Xuan, but they have not made much progress until now, when Cheng Xin has finally become Lin Xuan's only breakthrough.
"Your Majesty, the packaging site has been set up. We request that Sophon lead the target in," the Science Administrator reported.
“Very good. As long as this thing is activated smoothly, Lin Xuan’s activities will be completely restricted. In addition, we have Cheng Xin as our trump card. I believe that with Lin Xuan’s personality, she will know what to do.”
The Trisolaran leader was extremely happy today; he felt he had never been happier than he was today.
Lin Xuan was a thorn in the side of all the Trisolaran leaders, and now that the thorn has finally been pulled out, the Trisolarans felt a great sense of relief.
"Should we take control of Cheng Xin?" one of the officials asked.
“No, that’s pointless; it will only anger the observers,” the Führer said.
"Although the Observers themselves have no combat power, they are the representatives of God's civilization. The moment of confrontation is coming soon. We are confident that we will win this battle with other Earths. At that time, we will survive. It is not wise to offend the Observers easily."
“I have a better plan,” the Education and Culture Commissioner said.
"Let Cheng Xin become the spokesperson for the Trisolarans."
"This is a brilliant plan!" the Trisolaran leader exclaimed with delight.
"If we rashly establish our own representatives among humans, Lin Xuan will definitely notice and warn us, and it may even attract the direct action of the observers."
"But Cheng Xin is an exception. Lin Xuan can't possibly kill Cheng Xin. As long as she can be used by us, this will be an important step for us to shake the status of the human swordholders."
However, some officials have expressed concerns.
"With such an obvious plan, how could Lin Xuan not see it?"
The education official, however, gave a dismissive smile.
"So what if they figured it out? As long as the packaging box can hold Lin Xuan back, everything will be fine."
"Moreover, as long as Cheng Xin is willing, even if Lin Xuan does it afterward, she can't do anything to us. It's a risk-free and stable investment."
"Then... let's do as you say."
……
At the same time, Lin Xuan, who was talking to Zhizi, suddenly changed her expression.
The nanobots on his body almost instantly condensed into a long sword in his hand.
Then, without saying a word, Lin Xuan slashed at Zhi Zi with her sword!
"boom!"
The blade did not strike Sophon. The blade synthesized by the nanobots stopped about 5 centimeters away from Sophon, as if it had hit an invisible wall, and could not advance any further.
"Force field barrier?"
Lin Xuan was startled.
He had just suddenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation coming from beneath his feet, and that's why he launched a fierce attack on Zhizi.
But in the end, it was too late.
The force field of the encapsulation box was activated, and Lin Xuan was instantly trapped inside.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't break it." Zhizi laughed as she looked at Lin Xuan, who kept trying to break the force field.
"This cage was specially built for you. Isn't that a pleasant surprise?"
The Trisolarans' actions this time truly shocked Lin Xuan.
With his current abilities, he really couldn't break through this barrier.
In the past, with his massive amount of shock points, he could have barely managed to cope.
But now, the shock value in the system is clearly not enough. Even if he manages to escape danger, he will be sealed off again by the next force field.
Seeing that Lin Xuan had stopped moving, Zhi Zi smiled and said.
"You and I are both beings who embody the wisdom of an entire civilization. Would you be interested in playing a game of chess with me and seeing if human wisdom can defeat artificial intelligence?"
As Zhizi spoke, she casually waved her hand, and a chessboard immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
It was only then that Lin Xuan suddenly realized that the ground beneath their feet had invisibly shifted during their conversation.
They are no longer in that place.
This is also why Tomoko hasn't taken any action yet.
They are distracting themselves to prepare for this moment.
The surrounding scenery began to change.
What Lin Xuan just saw was merely a projection played by Zhi Zi through her own holographic projection.
In reality, their location is already far from where they originally were.
"This is quite a meticulous arrangement. You must have been preparing for a long time, right?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He didn't care; this barrier wouldn't hold him for long. As long as his shock level reached a certain value, he could break through it at any time.
"We've been preparing for this moment for almost seventy years."
"Aren't you afraid that my disappearance will arouse Luo Ji's suspicion and cause him to immediately launch a broadcast?"
“This was considered long ago, so…”
Zhizi clapped her hands with a smile, and a Zhizi who looked exactly like Lin Xuan appeared not far away.
"They're quite well-prepared." Looking at the Zhizi in front of him who looked exactly like him, Lin Xuan finally understood why he had always felt something was off.
In the original storyline, the assembly of the second-generation Somozon was completed on Earth!
It wasn't like it is now, that the First Fleet was responsible for it.
As expected, the Trisolarans have learned to deceive and conceal.
They concealed the fact that there was another Somoko who looked exactly like them.
“You know, even if he can imitate my face, he can’t truly replace me. It won’t be long before he exposes his identity,” Lin Xuan said.
"That's enough. We just need a little bit of time."
As she spoke, Zhizi sat down at the chessboard.
"Then I will stay with you for the rest of this time, Observer."
