Cheng Xin also knew Jiang Yu, for those who had lived through the Common Era and the early years of the Crisis Era should all recognize those few Wallfacers.
When Jiang Yu was a few meters away from Cheng Xin, he suddenly spread his hands and asked her, "Doesn't this world disappoint you?"
Only then did Cheng Xin realize that Jiang Yu had come for her, "It must be because I haven't adapted to this world yet."
Ai AA, standing beside them, quickly asked, "Are you here to pick up Cheng Xin from the hospital?"
If this publicity stunt was utilized well, it would bring great benefits to both Cheng Xin and her yet-to-be-established company.
Jiang Yu shook his head, "No, I am here to fight."
With that, he made a gesture of invitation and the three of them continued walking forward, side by side.
Ai AA felt somewhat disappointed but then curious, who was Jiang Yu going to fight with on Earth? PDC?
Cheng Xin curiously asked, "Wasn't the crisis with the Trisolarans resolved? Why do you still want to fight?"
Jiang Yu looked around and still couldn't tell, up to this point, who among these people were men?
He asked Cheng Xin, "Have you seen any of the recent movies?"
The current works of art almost all spread the values of "universal unity."
"I have," said Cheng Xin, "they are quite touching. I never expected empathy in the universe to be so strong."
Ai AA added, "I've seen some movies from the Solar System State, which are generally interstellar war-themed, depicting the wits and bravery between two civilizations, even to the point of fighting to the death.
"Your country seems not to approve of the notion of living peacefully with the Trisolarans? Is it because you disagree that you make more people disagree in this way?"
These were thoughts she only dared to express online, but now, standing in front of Jiang Yu himself, she couldn't resist voicing her opinions.
Jiang Yu glanced at Ai AA, "Haven't you noticed? Those so-called movies with 'universal empathy', over seventy percent are works of the Trisolarans, and the key point is, up to now, not a single depiction of a Trisolaran has appeared in their movies."
Ai AA spread her hands, "So what? That only proves that the human value system has resonated with the Trisolarans! It's a sign of human civilization exporting itself to the universe."
Jiang Yu smiled, "It's hard to justify that argument.
"Shouldn't the majority of cultural products in the Trisolaran World be works from Earth if humanity is exporting its values?
"How is it that the situation is exactly the opposite? Earth is now flooded with cultural works from the Trisolaran World. Are you sure this is cultural export?"
Ai AA quickly said, "The Trisolarans say that Earth's cultural works are considered high-end culture in their world; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to create so many works that align with the values of Earthlings!"
"What a high-end culture!" Jiang Yu laughed, "How come this place full of high-end culture on Earth is mostly filled with works of the Trisolarans? What's going on here?
"Is it the high-end culture of Earthlings or the high-end culture of the Trisolarans?"
Ai AA was left not knowing how to respond, so Cheng Xin stepped in to smooth things over, "Come on, they're just movies."
Then Cheng Xin changed the subject and asked Jiang Yu, "Didn't you say you were here to fight? Who are you going to fight?"
Jiang Yu pointed around him, "With this screwed-up world.
"Just look at what Earth has become now?"
Ai AA, riled up by her contrarian spirit, retorted, "We don't need your meddling, and likewise, we won't interfere with the mess in your Solar System State either."
Jiang Yu ignored Ai AA's comment and continued speaking to Cheng Xin, "Nobody has realized that this war has already begun. The Solar System State has been fighting for many years, and my trip to Earth is to make an understanding of it!"
Cheng Xin furrowed her brows and asked, "Will a war break out?"
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, "Haven't I made myself clear? The war has already begun in the form of a cultural conflict!"
Cheng Xin suddenly realized, "Is it that serious?"
Ai AA quickly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he has been a Wallfacer for so many years, and he's best at misleading people!"
However, Cheng Xin gestured lightly to Ai AA to stop, and looked at Jiang Yu, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Yu did not directly answer Cheng Xin's question, but said, "The idea of pan-love is not new. It was born in a country across the ocean during our era.
"You know, that was a nation of immigrants, where the conflicts between different ethnicities were sharp, and the Federal Government never granted them equal dignity.
"Thus, they had to use the idea of pan-love to unite the citizens and cover up some of the conflicts among them."
Cheng Xin nodded, "I understand."
"But such an idea should not appear in a universe governed by the 'Dark Forest Law'!" Jiang Yu said seriously. "One civilization can never truly unite with another in a grand harmony!
"I just hope that you won't be influenced by these ideas of pan-love, for the world and even this universe are not as wonderful as you think.
"The universe is only full of traps and darkness, no love!"
Cheng Xin pondered for a moment before saying, "Isn't your view a bit too absolute? I still want to see the world with my own eyes."
Jiang Yu smiled and patted his own forehead, "To be honest, a long time ago, I thought about how to treat you, I even considered killing you directly!"
Ai AA hurriedly stepped in front of Cheng Xin, "You see? He's finally showing his true, vicious colors!"
But Cheng Xin was not very worried, because she did not feel any negative emotions from Jiang Yu, nor any murderous intent.
Jiang Yu continued, "But then I thought about how your choices represent those of this era. If a Cheng Xin falls, thousands upon thousands of Cheng Xins would stand up. They are endless, impossible to kill.
"Venting all my resentment on you is not fair to you and would dishearten a certain person.
"I can only let this era continue to waste humanity's time, while the Solar System State exerts its power, struggling to clean up the mess."
Cheng Xin frowned and said, "Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant."
At that moment, a wall beside Jiang Yu suddenly lit up, followed by the appearance of Sophon, soft as water, "Wallfacer Jiang Yu, I want to be your Wallbreaker!"
Jiang Yu laughed heartily, "Very good, very good, the more the merrier. I will be waiting at the Desert North Farm tomorrow, and the Solar System-wide broadcast of your Wallbreaking process!"
Sophon smiled beautifully, "I shall follow your orders!"
She then smiled gently at Cheng Xin, "Ms. Cheng Xin, may I have the honor of inviting you to visit my humble home?"
Before Cheng Xin could reply, Jiang Yu had already laughed loudly, "You see? The war has already started."
As he spoke, Jiang Yu quickly left, while speaking to Cheng Xin on his way, "Since you want to see the world for yourself, then go and see!
"But let me remind you, Logic fought for this world for over half a century! Yet the people of this world are not grateful to him!
"Do you expect such a group of people to represent the future of humanity?
"It's important to know oneself! If you can't bear the responsibility, then don't strive for power and duties that are not meant for you!"
