The crimson text was like blood all over the ground.

"Discover the cosmic probe with strong interactions! There are six in total, one of which flies to the Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun, and the other five are divided into three formations in one, two, and two, rushing towards the Earth at a speed of 25,000 km/s, and are expected to reach the ground in ten minutes!"

"You asked us, do you have a deterrent?" Zhizi appeared in front of Cheng Xin. "The answer is, yes."

In Cheng Xin's subconscious, she is a guardian, not a destroyer; She is a woman, not a warrior.

She will spend her life guarding the balance of the two worlds, so that the technology from the three-body problem will make the earth stronger and stronger, and the culture from the earth will make the three-body problem more and more civilized, until one day, a voice will say to her: Put down the red switch and come to the ground, the world no longer needs the dark forest to deter, and the sword bearer is no longer needed.

But this is a war in itself! A war to the death!

And most crucially, Luo Ji has been in this funless white confinement room for fifty-four years, a time span that can drive people crazy. This is not something that humans can do at all, but Luo Ji has done it, so humans regard it as a freak and a foreign body. So the question is, how long can Cheng Xin stay in this fun-free place, two thousand meters underground, without entertainment, without communication, and his nerves must be tense all the time.

People say she can do it, she thinks she can do it, but if a person doesn't do what she can, it will only bring a devastating blow. Cheng Xin couldn't do it, and the army generals closed it as a punishment, and the same was true of this snow-white room.

A weak woman can do what she can't. Because some women are weak and strong, they can walk independently, but Cheng Xin is not, she is really weak, like water, like flowers, like floating dandelions.

From single-celled organisms, to aquatic plants, to reptiles, dinosaurs, ants, insects, mammals, primitive tribes, dynastic wars, to modern artillery and fighting.

In the end, the thirty-five years of the earth's journey through ups and downs stopped in front of a small human individual, she is just one of the 100 billion people who have lived on the earth, she holds a red switch in her hand, and the three formations of strong interaction space probes have an average distance of 6 million kilometers from the earth, the latest 4.5 million kilometers, and reach the ground in three minutes!

Four billion years of time were deposited above Cheng Xin, making her breathless, and her latent consciousness desperately floated up, trying to rise to the ground to catch her breath.

The subconscious ground is crowded with creatures, most conspicuously huge reptiles, including dinosaurs, which are densely packed together and spread across the earth to the horizon as far as the eye can see; In the crevices between the dinosaurs and under their legs and abdomen, mammals, including humans; Further down, under countless pairs of feet, the ground was like a surging stream of black water, which were countless trilobites and ants......

In the sky, hundreds of billions of birds formed a swirl of dark clouds covering the entire sky, and the huge shadow of the pterodactyl appeared and disappeared in it......

The most terrible thing is those eyes, the eyes of dinosaurs, the eyes of trilobites and ants, the eyes of birds and butterflies, the eyes of bacteria, there are 100 billion pairs of human eyes alone, which is exactly equal to the number of stars in the Milky Way, and all the eyes of ordinary people, but also the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare and Einstein.

The average distance between the three formations of the strong interaction space probe and the earth is 4.5 million kilometers, the latest is 3 million kilometers, and it reaches the ground in two minutes! The two formations with the number of two are pointing to the Asian and North American continents, respectively, and the formation of the number one is pointing to the European continent.

At the flip of a switch, the thirty-and-a-half-billion-year process will be halted and everything will disappear into the long night of the universe. Like it never existed.

"No—" Cheng Xin exclaimed, threw the switch in his hand, and watched it slide into the distance like a devil.

In the end, this period of time was infinitely stretched like spider silk, but Cheng Xin did not hesitate any longer, she insisted on the decision she had made. This decision was not made with thought, but was embedded in her genes, which can be traced back four billion years, when the decision was made and strengthened in the vicissitudes of the next billions of years. Right or wrong, she knew she had no choice.

Fortunately, liberation is coming.

Water droplets have reached the Earth!

The red on the big screen disappeared and was replaced by the previous white, making the place appear bright and empty for a moment. Several lines of large black letters appear on a white background:

The North American gravitational wave transmitter was destroyed.

The European gravitational wave launch pad was destroyed.

The Asian gravitational wave launch pad was destroyed.

The solar wave amplification function is suppressed in all frequency bands.

The droplets did not attack the swordbearer.

The black letters disappeared, and after a blank blank, the final display appeared:

"The gravitational wave cosmic broadcasting system cannot be restored. The Dark Forest deterrence ends. ”

There was once a high-ranking prostitute, richly dressed, who, after meeting the emperor, expressed her willingness to assassinate the leader of the enemy army, not for power and wealth, but simply to pursue the honor of the supreme "saint". And Constantine XI, faced with the grim situation of the ruined city, readily agreed to her.

She thinks she is saving the world, but she is just a chess piece, Cheng Xin never wants to run for the sword bearer, she has all the good things, and thinks that the above good things can be created by her own hands, she thinks this is a game of Go, but the Trisolarans never want to play any game.

"You made the choice we predicted." Tomoko sneered. "Don't blame yourself, the truth is: people choose you, and they choose this ending. Of all human beings, you are the only one who is innocent. ”

"You know what? In our personality analysis system, your deterrence fluctuates around ten percent, like a crawling little earthworm; Luo Ji's deterrence curve is like a ferocious cobra, fluctuating at a height of 90 percent; And Vader ...... He has no curves at all, and his deterrence is at 100 percent under all external environmental parameters.

That devil! If he had become the sword bearer, none of this would have happened, peace would have continued, we have waited for sixty-two years, and we all have to continue to wait, maybe another half century or more. At that time, the Three-Body World could only fight or compromise with the Earth Civilization that was already evenly matched in strength...... But we know that people will definitely choose yours. ”

Cheng Xin was stunned, in her impression, the core of Thomas Vader's spirit was the extreme coldness and madness brought about by extreme reason. It would be a risk to put the position of sword-bearer in the hands of Thomas Vader, and she will slowly melt the hatred and estrangement between the Trisolarans and humans with love.
