Chapter 84 Assassination_1

In a Virtual World.

"My Lord, Cao Ge has already shown his threat to the Lord. Please permit us to assassinate him."

A statue with an indistinct appearance raised its head and pleaded to an eye in the sky above.

The Sophon overhead did not give an immediate response, falling into silence instead. The First Emperor of Qin thought that his lord had not agreed, so he started to explain nonstop, describing the dangers posed by Cao Ge.

Not only government people have entered the game, but also members of the ETO.

Although the ETO had been purged by the government, because of its long history and the complex makeup of its members, the remnants still included people of high intelligence.

Thus, not only the government recognized the uniqueness of this game, they did as well.

Although they were more or less in the dark like the government agents about what Cao Ge was up to, the information they currently had was enough for them to imagine.

Cao Ge's Wallfacer Project had completely exceeded their expectations.

Forget about breaking through Cao Ge's defenses; they didn't even know how he managed it. This game was too advanced.

Originally, they had scoffed at the human Wallfacer Project, viewing any human endeavor as ultimately futile.

Without the Lord's intervention, they were capable of breaking through the Walls of those Wallfacers, but now they knew nothing of Cao Ge's actions.

After this foray into the game world, they had unanimously come to view Cao Ge as highly dangerous and agreed that he must be eliminated immediately.

Hence the report from the First Emperor of Qin.

Just as the First Emperor of Qin thought that the Trisolarans did not agree,

on a harsh planet in the Trisolaris Star System, in the direction of Centaurus,

the Trisolarans' highest echelon was in a joint meeting with the science team, holding a high-level conference concerning Cao Ge.

Cao Ge's game had not only stunned the humans but had also caught the ever-watchful Trisolarans off guard.

Though the Trisolarans were unable to directly access the game due to distance limitations, they had, through information from various sources, gathered a basic understanding of it.

They were shocked by certain data within the game because even they could not achieve that level of sophistication, yet Cao Ge had.

"Leader, considering all factors, Cao Ge has become a threat to our occupation of Earth. Although we don't yet know in what aspect, we should nip this danger in the bud," one of them said.

Be they humans, Trisolarans, or other beings of the universe,

they all feared the unknown.

In their mission to invade Earth's civilization, the Trisolarans had previously only feared human thought; beyond thought, everything else about Earth's civilization was solvable, transparent to them.

But now, something had changed; a mysterious element had appeared on Earth that the Trisolarans could not comprehend.

This was dangerous; they had to nip this new risk in the bud.

"Issue the order to the ETO members, spare no expense, kill Cao Ge." The meeting leader, seated at the head of the table, pondered for a moment before speaking calmly.

Following the leader's decision, the other senior members agreed, even the science officer who had always opposed interfering too much with Cao Ge's actions restrained his curiosity and agreed with the decision to eliminate Cao Ge.

Because compared to the survival of a civilization, a technology breakthrough was not so significant.

.........

In a black SUV traveling on the highway.

There were three people inside the vehicle, two men and one woman.

"Hello, I am Cao Ge." Cao Ge looked toward the woman beside him.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, tall and slender with beauty that stood out a mile. Her beautiful long hair draped behind her head, and a slight smile could emanate an alluring charm.

"Professor Cao, hello, my name is Zhuang Yan," the woman beside him said with a smile, extending her flawless right hand.

"Indeed it is Zhuang Yan," Cao Ge thought to himself.

Cao Ge withdrew his hand from Zhuang Yan's and then looked forward to Da Shi, who was driving.

"Team Leader Shi, who is this Miss Zhuang Yan?"

"She's the talent Brother Luo wanted," Da Shi glanced at Cao Ge through the rearview mirror before explaining.

"Logic requested!"

"No, she absolutely cannot go to Logic," Cao Ge thought to himself.

The thought of himself struggling for the survival of humanity while Logic was enjoying life, and now finding such a beautiful girlfriend, made him feel unbalanced.

"Team Leader Shi, I heard that Professor Luo is still the same as before."

Da Shi looked at Cao Ge through the rearview mirror, and although he didn't know what Cao Ge wanted to say, he nodded.

But then he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Cao, Brother Luo knows how to live life much better than you. Recently, he has been traveling a lot and having a good time."

Cao Ge felt even more unbalanced after hearing what Shi Qiang said.

"Team Leader Shi, please stop the car, I won't be going to Logic's place anymore. Take me home," Cao Ge said with a dark face.

"Sure, but do you mind if I first take the person Brother Luo asked for to the airport?" Da Shi looked at Cao Ge's dark face, perplexed, but still agreed.

Originally, his assignment today was just to bring Zhuang Yan to meet Logic, but then he received a call from Cao Ge saying he wanted to see Logic, so he took a detour.

"There's no need to go anymore. I would like to invite Miss Zhuang Yan to be my secretary. I just so happen to need a secretary, and I think Miss Zhuang Yan is very suitable," Cao Ge glanced at Zhuang Yan, then said.

"What?"

At Cao Ge's words, Da Shi's brain suddenly couldn't keep up; he slammed the brakes, and the car came to a sharp stop in the middle of the road.

When his car stopped, the ten or so escort vehicles behind him also came to a halt.

Cao Ge didn't care about Da Shi but turned to look at Zhuang Yan and asked, "Miss Zhuang Yan, would you like to work for me?"

Zhuang Yan was also stunned by Cao Ge's sudden invitation because the information she had received at the beginning was that she had a job to do, and the work target was Logic, not the present Cao Ge.

For a moment, Zhuang Yan didn't know what to do; regardless of whether she had accepted her superiors' instructions, she was just a girl who had graduated not long ago.

Zhuang Yan glanced at Cao Ge and then hesitantly looked toward Da Shi in the front row.

"Miss Zhuang, you don't need to look at him; you just need to say whether or not you are willing," Cao Ge asked seriously.

"Brother Cao, if you want to find a secretary, I can help you again, but this Miss Zhuang..."

"Officer Shi, don't speak for a moment."

"Miss Zhuang Yan, how about your consideration? My invitation is sincere."

Under Cao Ge's gaze, Zhuang Yan looked at Da Shi a few times, hesitated for a bit, then said, "Teacher Cao, of course, I am willing, but..."

"Good, Miss Zhuang Yan, from now on you are my secretary," said Cao Ge.

Cao Ge wasn't head over heels for Zhuang Yan; it was a feeling of imbalance within him.

Originally, he had a good impression of Logic, but after seeing the pretty girl Zhuang Yan.

He suddenly felt that he was working hard while Logic was enjoying life.

What did it matter to him whether this world was destroyed or not?

"Brother Cao..."

"Officer Shi, this is part of the plan; please understand," Cao Ge said, looking at Da Shi.

Seeing that Cao Ge's words had come to this point, Da Shi no longer tried to stop him.

"Alright, you are a Wallfacer; your word is final, it's just tough on me now to explain to Brother Luo," Da Shi said with a wry smile.

After speaking, he prepared to restart the engine, ready to turn around and return to Cao Ge's villa.

But suddenly, a burst of gunfire that erupted ahead completely shattered the calm.
