Chapter 96: Goodbye Logic (4th Update)_1

Only after Shi Qiang reported over the phone that Luo Ji had been given the most stringent protection did Jiang Yu leave Chief Ji's office.

The wheels of the Wallfacer Plan had begun to turn; a new journey was about to start.

Jiang Yu, somewhat excited, returned to his own office and found Colonel Stanton waiting there, chatting idly with Di Fengyi.

Seeing Jiang Yu return, Stanton greeted him with a pleased expression, "Mr. Jiang, Advisor Jiang, do you remember our debate about the attitude towards the ETO?

"Just now, we received important intelligence from the ETO!

"Ha-ha, our view was correct! We need to keep the ETO around and extract intelligence from them!"

Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile wryly, "Coincidentally, we also obtained important intelligence from the ETO. The information you know might even have come from us.

"After all, though we haven't been able to reach a cooperative intention in many aspects, there is a high level of cooperation among PDC member countries when it comes to intelligence work."

Stanton paused, astonished, "You consider the ETO illegal, don't you? How can you still get intelligence from them?"

Jiang Yu invited Stanton to sit down, "Colonel, it's only illegal domestically. We have never condemned other countries for allowing the development of the ETO!

"Besides, have you never heard of the concept of undercover operations? Who said that once you declare an organization illegal, you are not allowed to get intelligence from certain channels?"

This was still Chang Weisi's arrangement in Crisis Era Year One...

Unfortunately, the ETO isn't stupid. While they did recruit new members in the last two years, all the top brass had joined the ETO before the Beijing gathering.

Thus, after the operation to erase Luo Ji began, the undercover agents at the bottom were the ones who obtained more detailed intelligence.

Colonel Stanton opened his mouth, finally realizing that he had been the fool all along, "You're utterly shameless!

"China has no ETO, yet you drove the ETO into other countries..."

Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Colonel, these are all your speculations. Take care not to speak recklessly!"

Stanton, his face full of anger, turned to leave, but after a few steps, he said to Jiang Yu, "I won't reveal our conversation today, but in exchange, you must allow us to examine the documents on Genetic Modification in the Poison Apple Project."

Jiang Yu was stunned, realizing Stanton's motive for coming, "Colonel, when has it ever been that you ask for a favor without being so self-righteous?

"And don't use such threatening tactics; it makes it seem like I'm the one begging you."

At Jiang Yu's uncovering, Stanton's old face turned red.

Jiang Yu stated, "My position remains consistent! Conduct your own experiments, do your own research; don't think about taking shortcuts!"

"Don't be naive," Stanton said agitatedly, "With Sophon's blockade, what can we possibly figure out?

"The Trisolarans won't deceive us. Those two technologies are clearly a huge gift they gave us! This is a big mistake on their part, and you're now helping the Trisolarans cover up this mistake!"

Jiang Yu sighed, "I'll say it one last time, they value technology too much to make such a mistake!"

He said sternly, "We cannot plan together if we are not of one mind, Colonel. Please leave, I have work to attend to."

Stanton left in a huff, while Jiang Yu was already considering how to deal with those looking for shortcuts.

Now, he was not the same Jiang Yu as he was two years ago.

...

Under the tight protection of Shi Qiang, Luo Ji arrived at the airport, got out of the car, and immediately boarded the plane via the airstairs with Shi Qiang climbing up alongside him.

Before entering the cabin, Luo Ji looked back and saw a convoy speeding towards them.

Logic boarded the plane and through the window, he saw a man in his twenties, tall and lean, descending from the vehicle parked at the boarding stairs.

Logic recognized the man, it was none other than the universally acknowledged "Human Fighter," Jiang Yu.

Recently, a new wave of intense propaganda about Jiang Yu had started, even more specific than before, as if the more they publicized Jiang Yu, the more legendary he became!

Logic only learnt from the recent media frenzy that Jiang Yu had infiltrated the ETO and provided humanity with a massive amount of intelligence about ETO and the Trisolarans.

Moreover, media commentary praised him as the first person to have tricked the Trisolarans, and in the struggle between humans and Trisolarans where humans were at an absolute disadvantage, Jiang Yu's performance was rightfully that of a hero of humanity.

Logic wondered why the famous Jiang Yu would be on the same plane as him.

Jiang Yu quickly boarded the plane, greeting Da Shi in the cabin: "Da Shi, I'm just hitching a ride."

Da Shi laughed: "I don't even know where we're heading, and you dare to hitch a 'ride'?"

Jiang Yu chuckled and replied: "A plane, naturally, flies high."

Then he greeted Logic: "Teacher Luo Ji, we meet again."

This was indeed a true "fighter," a real big shot!

Jiang Yu was very clear in his mind that his achievements today were all due to his God's View.

The Trisolarans must also be quite confused. Clearly, they had not shared many key pieces of information with Jiang Yu, so how could he know?

Logic was somewhat surprised: "Is the deceased a family member of yours?"

Jiang Yu was at first baffled, then realized that at this point, Logic knew nothing, and seemed to once think that the woman who died in front of him had some special background:

"Teacher Logic, that's an unlucky thing to say, don't speculate. You'll know when we get there!"

At that moment, the staff reminded everyone to take their seats as the plane was about to take off.

Seated in the plane's small meeting room, Logic couldn't help asking: "Da Shi, where are we actually heading?"

Before Da Shi could respond, Jiang Yu answered obliquely: "Teacher Luo Ji, I really hope you cherish this opportunity. Many opposed the idea of two Chinese people being involved in this plan.

"Our diplomats blazed a new trail and secured this opportunity for you through United Nations Secretary-General Sayi.

"The plan requires more voices from The East."

This statement left Logic even more befuddled, as if the purpose of the trip were something formidable, he did not know whether to continue asking.

Jiang Yu changed the subject and began discussing with Da Shi his previous work at the police station.

Drawing on his own experience, Da Shi offered many interrogation techniques, as well as methods for gathering intelligence.

Jiang Yu listened with great interest, while Logic was somewhat preoccupied.

One day later, in the United Nations Hall, Jiang Yu and Logic sat not far apart, both listening to Secretary-General Sayi announce the Wallfacer project:

"...The Wallfacers will undertake the most arduous mission in human history.

"They will be true loners, completely closing off their minds to the entire world and even the universe.

"The only support they can confide in, the sole pillar of their psyche, will be themselves..."

In his heart, Jiang Yu added: "Human society will gradually view the Wallfacers as a scourge, and in the end, Wallfacers rarely meet a good fate!"
