Chapter 14 Praise the Wallfacer_1

The conversation ended, and there was a dead silence throughout the room; everyone was too shocked to comprehend. Is this the Wallfacer?

It was too shocking, too terrifying, simply demonic!

No wonder the Trisolarans wanted to assassinate Luo Ji, he truly is the most terrifying man!

I really want to say to the Trisolaran world, "You withdraw from the Solar System, and we guarantee not to use Luo Ji first."

At first, I thought Luo Ji wasn't serious about his duty, but now I realize that was his plan. Like a venomous snake, he targets not only the Trisolarans but also all of humanity.

Such a Wallfacer is undoubtedly excellent. Just as we breathed a sigh of relief, he announced his Wallfacing results and even caught a flaw in the Sophon.

Just as we felt joy, he spoke at length about restricting Wallfacers from anti-human and anti-escape actions, which earned people's greater admiration; truly a Wallfacer of humanity.

Just as we were exhilarated, believing you are a good person, unexpectedly, you proposed to bet against the Trisolarans at the cost of annihilating all of humanity. Moreover, such a plan is just one of your dozen or so plans; how astonishing your true hidden plans must be! Do they really exist?

Having such a Wallfacer, should we feel fortunate or afraid?

Luo Ji's smile right now is the smile of a devil; almost everyone dares not look directly into his eyes now.

In almost an instant, Luo Ji had commanded everyone's reverence, but he also struck fear into them all—not fear of a Wallfacer, but fear of Luo Ji the man.

Rey Diaz nearly collapsed in his seat, but he stubbornly maintained his posture, with an empty gaze and not speaking for a long time. While others thought he was too shocked, they didn't know this was indeed Rey Diaz's plan, to use a Starbuster to bombard Mercury and send it crashing into the sun, an outcome nearly the same as Luo Ji's plan.

Rey Diaz didn't know that even if he used all the resources of the Solar System to build Starbusters, they wouldn't be enough to sink Mercury; this was the final move of the Wallbreaker Mozi against Rey Diaz, his plan could never succeed.

Luo Ji's plans would certainly cause an uproar worldwide; people's inner shock needed a voice, yet they had no courage to face Luo Ji. In the coming months, human governments would be busy; the PDC Staff Group had already anticipated the headache to follow.

By doing this, Lin Sen indeed blasphemed Rey Diaz, a man he absolutely admired; any disrespect was an insult to him, yet Lin Sen still let Luo Ji reveal Rey Diaz's plan.

Announcing the Mercury-sun collision plan this way had one advantage: it protected Rey Diaz, a man whom Lin Sen deeply respected.

It also prompted Rey Diaz to abandon his plan quickly. Although he had begun his plan before the Wallfacer legislation was enacted, it was doomed to fail. Moreover, nuclear bombs have a very limited role in interstellar warfare; humanity's precious resources shouldn't be invested in them.

Though the plan to crash Mercury into the sun will meet with universal condemnation, it inadvertently tells people that we might still have a chance. It also makes them look forward to Luo Ji's hidden plans, undoubtedly boosting humanity's confidence in confronting the Trisolarans, which is exactly what humans need right now.

Humanity still has hope, we're not that desperate. Going from despair to a glimmer of hope, humans will also display a fundamentally different mindset.

After calming down, people might view the Mercury-sun collision plan with normalcy. In the future, even if there are more sensational plans, they will subconsciously compare them to the Mercury-sun collision plan and then feel it's not so bad.

Subtly altering humanity's psychological endurance is also an important part of the plan. The greatest challenge lies in the future; humans must gradually accustom themselves to the malice of the universe, even if it means hurting Rey Diaz, it must be done.

By disclosing this plan in public, Luo Ji indicates that this plan is insignificant to him; how grand, then, must the plans he's secretly executing be?

Apart from praising the Wallfacer, there is nothing else to do.

Logic's prestige was now thoroughly established, Tyler's wall-breaking influence had completely dissipated at this moment, and there was also no possibility of Rey Diaz engaging in wall-breaking anymore.

Logic: "Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. I was just using an example to illustrate the importance of the Anti-Wallfacer Act against humanity, and I trust that no one would truly execute the plan to send Mercury crashing into the Sun."

Everyone present probably now harbored a shadow in their hearts regarding Mercury; the mere mention would involuntarily send a shiver down their spines.

PDC Chairman: "Thank you, Dr. Luo Ji, for your brilliant analysis and your hypothetical plan. I must say, you indeed have an extraordinary talent and ability. Regarding the points you've seen from the Anti-Defection Act, the PDC Staff Group has just analyzed their credibility, and your analysis is incredibly accurate; this is our most valuable intelligence."

"We will also draft and pass the Anti-Wallfacer Act against humanity as soon as possible. Ordinary laws for ordinary people cannot apply to Wallfacers; there cannot be excessive restrictions on Wallfacers, but neither can we allow Wallfacers the possibility to destroy humanity.

Your achievements are tremendous, and I on behalf of humanity thank you, allowing us to witness the greatness of Wallfacers.

At this time, I need to emphatically reiterate that your hypothetical plan for Mercury to crash into the Sun, or any similar plans, are absolutely forbidden! This needs to be overseen by us, and we hope you can understand.

Mr. Logic, is there anything you would like to add?"

Lin Sen knew the fate of Wallfacers in the future: Wallfacers initially had unlimited power, and humanity's dependence on Wallfacers was too excessive, resulting in difficulty accepting the Wallfacers' insane plans. Eventually, all of humanity became fearful of the Wallfacer Project, and the dread brought by Wallfacers even surpassed that of the Trisolarans.

And when human technology advanced in the future, people came to consider the Wallfacer Project as a joke, and the project was ultimately terminated.

If Wallfacers were to continue to exist, there were several conditions:

First, they must be awe-inspiring; the plan for Mercury to crash into the Sun was insane, but strategically viable, and level-headed people would see the value of Wallfacers.

Second, the rights of Wallfacers needed to be limited; the Anti-Wallfacer Act against humanity was put in place to implement these limits. Only limited authority could win the support of humanity and lessen the gulf between Wallfacers and the rest of humanity.

Third, Wallfacers had to demonstrate their value, either by creating it for humanity.

What the PDC cared about was the Wallfacer Project, not the Wallfacers themselves. And for Wallfacers to carry on, they needed to continue to collaborate and struggle with the PDC, while also having the continuous support of humanity.

Additionally, the recent proposal for the Anti-Humanity Act, analysis of the Anti-Defection Act, and the plan for Mercury to crash into the Sun, had temporarily shifted the PDC's attention, also providing Lin Sen with cover in his actions to seize other Wallfacers' resources.

Tyler has been brought to heel, and Rey Diaz will never again have the chance to execute his own plan for Mercury to crash into the Sun, as everyone will be watching Mercury closely now.

Hines, using the Thoughtcontrol, is intended for the human escape plan to eventually break walls too, but that's a story for another time.

"Next, I will ask my Wallfacer's Assistant, Mr. Lin Sen, to announce my recent work, as I prefer to watch the scenery from below. What Lin Sen says will represent my own words; it's part of the plan!"

Logic walked off the stage silently and sat down beside the other three Wallfacers.

Seeing Logic revert to his casual, irreverent demeanor, nobody could still equate this shy, nonchalant boy next door with the cold, imperial Wallfacer who had just been on the stage.

At this moment, Logic was an enigma that one couldn't fathom, mysterious and unfathomable—he only required awe!
