Zheng Li was working at the R&D center in Singapore as usual, but he could sense that he had been targeted by at least three groups of people recently.
The cleaning staff who came to clean the Lion City R&D Center had a secret agent smell that could fool the researchers at the R&D Center, but not him.
Zheng Li could sense that the cleaning staff were observing his every move with very subtle eyes.
The seventeenth floor is his private laboratory, and no one is allowed to enter it under normal circumstances. Zheng Li lives on the eighteenth floor.
However, when Zheng Li returned to the seventeenth floor from the public experimental area in the morning, he could clearly feel that his computer had been tampered with.
The fingerprints on the computer have been completely wiped away.
After the existence of the soul was confirmed, agents from all over the world frantically tried to find out who Merlin really was.
After the fact that willpower influences reality has also been proven, the level of madness in various countries has reached a new level.
Zheng Li's real body in Kuala Lumpur hacked into the CIA's servers through a bio-cloud and learned that he was number one on the suspect list.
No wonder the Chinese ambassador to Singapore visited him yesterday, telling him to return home as soon as possible, and subtly implying that if he were from Merlin, his country would protect him and would never do anything to infringe on his personal rights.
It was just said in a very euphemistic way, that people should trust the country's credibility and strength, and that China has always believed in the principles of equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.
Zheng Li didn't reveal any flaws, only saying that his research and development progress in Lion City was considerable, and that he would return to Suzhou after the brain-computer interface research had achieved certain results.
The paper Zheng Li wrote under the pseudonym Merlin had a completely different writing logic and language style from the one he published in Blue Star academic journals.
Language experts could see that his papers published in Blue Star Journal used both British and American English.
Merlin's paper is written in pure British English, the most authentic kind of British English, with some of the usage of sentences that can be traced back to classical English from Shakespeare's time.
Therefore, even though Zheng Li was suspected, he was not directly arrested because he had no obvious flaws.
Whether it's brain-computer interfaces or endorphins, although it seems unbelievable, it falls within the realm of logical explanation.
Currently, institutions from various countries are keeping a close eye on him, and there are also factors that hinder each other.
Zheng Li sighed. Luckily, he had been cautious enough, otherwise he might not have been able to keep this disguise.
He somewhat regretted taking out the brain-computer interface; if it were just endorphins, the level of suspicion against him would have been even higher.
Because of Merlin's British English in his paper, English scientists were also suspected, especially those who had attended prestigious schools like Eton College.
Because classical English is only taught in schools that pride themselves on tradition, such as Eton College.
Musk is also a prime suspect, given his legendary background and exceptional technological insight.
All Zheng Lin can do is conceal his true identity. If he is kidnapped by agents or organizations, he will have to act in a play with them. He doesn't want to lose this identity, and he doesn't want to expose himself.

"US stocks continued to plummet. Following the sharp drop the day before yesterday and a slight decline yesterday, US stocks suddenly plunged 500 points at the opening of the market this morning."
After the US stock market opened, all three major indexes opened sharply lower and continued to decline. By 9:50 a.m., the Nasdaq index had plunged 274 points, a drop of more than 1.7%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 500 points, a drop of over 1.3%, while the S&P 500 fell 1.4%.
"Among them, large-cap tech stocks were the hardest hit, with Apple down 1%, Microsoft down nearly 3%, Amazon down 2.0%, Google down 2.5%, Facebook down 1.7%, and Twitter down 3.0%."
"Biopharmaceutical stocks collectively declined, with Moderna plunging nearly 10%, Pfizer falling 2%, and BioNTech dropping 12%..."
"European stock markets also opened lower and continued to decline. As of now, the German DAX index is down more than 1%, the French CAC index is down nearly 1%, and only the English FTSE index has narrowed its decline to 0.1%."
"After opening lower in the previous two days, US stocks continued to plummet today, followed by a sell-off in the US Treasury market. Although the short-term yield of US Treasuries continued to rise, US Treasuries were subject to continuous selling."
"This has been accompanied by a surge in prices for precious metals such as gold and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, with the COMEX gold index breaking through the previous high of 1985.2 points..."
During lunchtime in Hawaii, Luo Shu listened to a short segment of financial news while eating her usual meal in her apartment.
He was quite shrewd when it came to investing. After being arrested by the FBI that day, he went home and carefully read through Magic's paper.
Luo Shu didn't know why magic. could still be seen, but no related information could be found on Google.
He suspected that Merlin's paper was genuine, which was why the government was on high alert.
After making the decision, Luo Shu did not hesitate and sold all the US stocks she held the next day, and then exchanged them for gold futures.
His judgment was that Merlin was either an alien or a human from Earth who possessed alien technology, but in any case, Merlin had a huge impact on the world economy.
Merlin's paper, whether it's the phenomena or the theories he mentions, is a completely different system from the scientific system of Earth.
If Merlin's paper is genuine, it means that Earth will have a completely different technological system than before. In that case, the technological advantage of Europe and America will not last long, and in many aspects, they will not have any advantage at all.
The stock markets in Europe and the United States will definitely suffer a sharp decline. They have been able to enjoy high value-added industries by leveraging technology. What about the future?
The stock market is getting ahead of the curve. Merlin's existence is a secret to those at the bottom, but not to those at the top. Magic can't be hidden, and everyone will know about Merlin's existence sooner or later.
The sharp decline in European and American stock markets and US Treasury bonds means that safe-haven assets such as precious metals will rise.
Luo Shu's logic is very clear, and the subsequent turmoil in the financial markets proved this point.
It started with a slight decline, then a sharp drop, and then another slight decline, with the decline even narrowing by the close.
As a result, there was another big drop today.
Luo Shu made a fortune in the financial markets, but he showed no excitement whatsoever.
After learning of Merlin's existence and reading those three papers, his mind was filled with questions.
From the existence of the soul to the underlying logic of how consciousness influences reality, from who Merlin is to how Earth will develop in the future.
A series of questions continued to ferment in his mind, and he would log on to magic.net every half hour on average to check them out.
But Merlin seemed to disappear after publishing those three articles. Only the radio signals that Pluto kept sending to Earth and the contents of Magic. can prove that this really happened.
Luo Shu really wanted to tell his Chinese roommate about these things, but he remembered that he had signed a confidentiality agreement and dared not reveal it.
It's really painful to keep a secret to yourself.
