"We've all read quite a few of China's classic texts, so why didn't anyone think of this?"

"To put it bluntly, what we need to think about is not the essence of the soul, but how likely is it that Zheng Li is Merlin."

"Haven't we always suspected that Zheng Li is Merlin?"

However, after Li Miaomiao became a mage, our suspicions deepened.

"But given how easily Merlin quotes ancient Chinese classics in this paper, how could he possibly have such a deep understanding of ancient Chinese culture?"

"Old Zhao, you've been to Zheng Li's office so many times, does he have any books in his office?"

"Let me think, I've seen thread-bound editions of Zhuangzi, Baopuzi, and Zuo Zhuan in his office."

"Old Zhao, how do you remember this so clearly? Something's not right."

"When I saw the title of the document Zheng Li handed me, I immediately took a look around."

In fact, Academician Zhao's memory was fabricated by Zheng Li.

"Judging from his profound understanding of ancient Chinese religious culture and thought, Zheng Li is indeed unlikely to be Merlin."

"If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether Zheng Li is Merlin or not."

Zheng Li is Merlin, will he cooperate with us?

Is there anything we can do about him?

Zheng Li is not Merlin, so there's no need to say more; China rarely has such talent.

"Even if Zheng Li is Merlin, unless we are absolutely certain that we can control him when we expose his identity."

However, given Merlin's possession abilities demonstrated in Stockholm, Zheng Li is most likely not his true form.

It is possible that, as Zheng Li said, Merlin exists on Earth in a form that we do not understand.

More importantly, Merlin's ability to cast long-range, targeted curses requires the higher-ups to consider things carefully, even if they are 100% certain.

Not to mention, we can't even be sure if Zheng Li is Merlin's real identity.

Instead, if everyone maintains the status quo, even if Zheng Li is Merlin, we can still enjoy the benefits Merlin brings.

The prospect of brain-computer interfaces and their further development is enough to support China in climbing several more steps in the high-tech industry.

Zheng Li is Merlin. Exposing his identity would do us nothing but harm, while maintaining the status quo would only bring us benefits.

Merlin demonstrated at least a willingness to abide by the rules and maintain a relatively stable state to guide the advancement of Blue Star's technology.

I believe our best approach is to remain steadfast and adaptable to any eventuality.

“I agree, and Lao Zhao, you can talk to Zheng Li more often. If he really is Merlin, then you can be considered Merlin’s direct disciple.”

---Aside---

I originally wanted to compile ancient Chinese understanding of the soul and then organically combine it with modern cutting-edge science, but my abilities are really limited.

My knowledge of ancient texts is limited, and I don't want to just copy from Baidu Encyclopedia to fool everyone, so I decided to give up on that idea.

Some people said I copied from Baidu Baike, but I can guarantee that it was very, very little, almost non-existent.

Also, it's almost the end of the month, please vote for me! I can't save my votes for the rest of the month.
