He simply told Da Shi that, in any case, the Dark Forest theory was not something he came up with.
……
"Ye Wenjie!"
"It really is her, why would she do this?"
"She's such a complicated person, cold and indifferent!"
……
Those who have seen the previous videos know that the "she" Luo Ji was referring to is Ye Wenjie.
That's why the Trisolarans specifically wanted to kill him.
……
The video continues playing.
in the picture.
Playback at high speed.
After Luo Ji told Da Shi everything, the two rushed back to the hibernating city.
As a Wallfacer, Luo Ji enjoys legislative protection and supreme power.
But he did almost nothing, simply restoring the hibernation community to its previous order.
Unfortunately, despite being the only Wallfacer, he was still unable to see Zhuang Yan's child.
The reason is obvious!
Just like before, Luo Ji was powerless to control his own destiny.
The subtitles flash: "[Two days later, at the United Nations Headquarters]"
[The first Wallfacer hearing in two hundred years.]
However, Luo Ji in the scene didn't go; he remained at his residence.
This time, he didn't allow himself to enjoy anything.
Luo Ji held a video conference with them.
“Wallfacer Luo Ji, we are prepared for your wrath,” the committee chairman said.
Indeed, when Luo Ji first woke up, these people were quite arrogant.
Luo Ji shook his head, indicating that he was no longer angry.
"That's excellent."
"However, we think you should leave that small place; it's not the command center for the solar system's defense war."
The committee said.
Luo Ji refused again, mentioning that more than two hundred years ago, his country's leader had commanded a nationwide victory war not far from where he lived.
Seeing this, the committee members didn't know what to say, and simply said, "Then get to work as soon as possible."
Luo Ji shook his head again: "I've already said, there's nothing we can do."
"Unless you can broadcast spells into the universe at stellar power."
Asian Fleet: "No, the water droplets have been suppressing the sun's radio waves, and nine more water droplets are about to reach Earth."
"In that case, you can revoke my status as a Wallfacer," Luo Ji told them clearly.
“ON. You can also reveal the secret of the spell and tell us how you destroyed a star,” the committee chairman asked.
"This is impossible."
Luo Ji raised his voice a little.
"What if it's on the condition that your spouse and children wake up?" one of the councilors said.
Luo Ji was taken aback, although he had experienced such despicable methods before.
But I didn't expect them to say it.
……
And so, Luo Ji's first hearing as a Wallfacer after his awakening ended hastily.
The video feed flickered again.
[Four days later, the second hearing for the Wallfacers took place.]
"Luo Ji, the Wallfacer, your condition is worrying us."
When the councilors saw Luo Ji, he was disheveled and unkempt, and there were many empty wine bottles in the room.
"You need to pull yourself together; the world needs you."
Luo Ji was too lazy to bother with such a group of people; he had already made himself clear enough beforehand.
"Okay, about your spouse and child waking up..."
"I already said that last time."
"No, no, no, Dr. Luo Ji, the new condition is that you will lead the snow engineering project," the representative said.
"Huh?" Luo Ji was a little confused.
The representatives explained to him that they were using a large number of star-shaped hydrogen bombs left behind by the previous Wallfacer, Radiaz, to be deployed in the outer reaches of the solar system.
After detonation, Neptune's oil film will create a cloud of space dust, so that when the Trisolarans' water droplets pass through, they will leave a clear trail.
Luo Ji questioned them: "Am I not an expert in this field? Besides, what's the point of this?"
“We need to establish authority, so we need you. Now the public sees you as the spokesperson for the cosmic forces of justice, and as God’s angel.”
"In this way, the international community will be able to accept our plan and determine safe routes for spacecraft in deep space."
"But if you do nothing, then the people of the world will lose their faith."
The meeting chairman explained to him.
“A flight path deep into space, isn’t that escapism?” Luo Ji looked at them.
"If you insist on thinking that way, that's fine too."
Luo Ji nodded, understanding what they wanted to do.
Whether it's tracking the Trisolaran droplet trajectory or pursuing escapism, his authority is essential.
At this moment, Luo Ji silently accepted it, even though he was being coerced and used.
But Luo Ji had his own plans.
……
In the video at this moment.
Luo Ji devoted himself wholeheartedly to the snow project, but the public, seeing what he did, was not foolish.
The full-scale launch of the snowfield project has resulted in the diversion of vast amounts of resources.
As the remaining nine droplets of the Trisolaran civilization draw ever closer, escapism becomes increasingly rampant.
In the video, Luo Ji is portrayed as the only Wallfacer and a savior in the eyes of the world.
Nothing was accomplished at all!
As the Trisolaran fleet drew closer to Earth, many humans began to doubt Luo Ji.
They think he's a big liar!
That's how humans are; when hope is shattered, they hate the person who brought them hope even more.
It's not about digging up dirt on him, but people are complex, and people will only ever see one side of a person.
……
The video feed flickered again at this point.

A year later, the snowfield project came to a standstill.
The pitch-black screen began to brighten.
The picture begins.
Luo Ji was surrounded by hundreds of reporters who bombarded him with questions about his current situation.
"Dr. Luo Ji, can the snow engineering project you're leading really help me defeat the Trisolarans?"
"You are our faith, but the internet says you're doing this only for your wife and children?"
……
"Liar, you're a complete liar!"
From the crowd behind, many voices could be heard cursing Luo Ji.
"Can..."
Luo Ji looked at everyone, his eyes blank, unsure of what to say.
"My savior, say something!"
"Yes, can we actually defeat the Trisolarans? What exactly is the Snow Project?"
Luo Ji stammered, "If I still can't unleash a spell at stellar power, I... I might not be able to."
"But snow engineering can minimize human casualties when invaders arrive."
One female reporter asked rather pointedly, "So, in the end, you still can't defeat the Trisolarans?"
“The spell is feasible, but…” Luo Ji wanted to repeat the previous sentence, but seeing the disappointed looks in the eyes of the crowd below the stage, he was speechless.
"You're a liar! Just like two hundred years ago, a complete fraud!"
"Liar! Get lost!"
"Luo Ji is a big liar, and The Wallfacer is a hoax."
Why did you lie to us?
"Luo Ji is a big liar! The Wallfacer Project is a scam!"
……
At this moment, Luo Ji had no choice but to flee the scene amidst a chorus of doubts.
……
After this battle, although Luo Ji was still a Wallfacer, he had lost trust and no longer had any power.
This is what's happening in the video feed right now.
The subtitles flashed again.
[Year 208 of the Three-Body Crisis Chronicle: The Trisolaran fleet is 2.07 light-years away from the solar system]
In the video footage.
That year, the autumn chill arrived early in the north, and Luo Ji was exhausted and looked very disheveled.
He looked like he hadn't had a haircut in months; his beard was unkempt.
In the video, he is seen entering a room in the residential complex alone.
Slogans cursing him were posted on the walls and doors of the corridor.
Luo Ji entered the room and slumped onto the sofa.
With a loud bang, the glass in Luo Ji's bedroom was shattered.
Curses followed from downstairs:
"You big liar, get lost!"
"Get out of our neighborhood."
"Get out of here! You don't deserve to stay here."
