The death of Wu Wei's double foreshadows a future plot development.
A conspiracy, a deliberate attempt to create a false impression?
Or was it a deliberate act, a provocation, a mockery, or a declaration of war?
Zheng Ya was unsure, so he immediately sent telegrams to the three major planets, secretly monitoring every corner to prevent alien infiltration and to keep it confidential.
Upon seeing the telegram he sent, Xu Qi said worriedly, "We seem to be in a very passive position right now. Where should we start?"
"I think it makes sense that Wu Wei arranged for a double to play a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so that she could set up a bigger conspiracy."
The key is that we should err on the side of caution and believe it to be true.
So, did Wu Wei take this kind of normal thinking into account? "The security academics that Fu Qingyao taught her step by step were taught by combining positive and negative psychology with relevant cases from the security department. She knows countless methods of committing crimes by both sides."
This is the most terrifying and unpredictable outcome for people.
Zheng Wang sat quietly to one side, lost in thought, as if he were pondering something.
Zheng Xing lay on the control panel, deep in thought and silent, looking like a young old man at first glance.
Xu Qi glanced at them, feeling inexplicably sad. The child was so young and had to go through all this. Feeling guilty and heartbroken, she said with tears in her eyes, "Why don't we take the initiative?"
"Uh, are you trying to wander around like a headless fly, triggering Wu Wei's mocking gene to activate and automatically expose yourself, making it easier for us to follow the clues?" Fu Qingyao guessed her plan.
However, this method is both naive and incompetent, and also ridiculous.
It's so ridiculous that people just watch the show and ignore it; wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Wu Wei had suffered many losses at Zheng Ya's hands and was ultimately defeated by him. He was punished by the Tower of Babel and sent here to take charge of the assessment mission. How could he be easily fooled?
Zheng Ya shook his head and rejected the idea: "Your method is a last resort, a helpless and desperate choice."
Actually, we overlooked one possibility: the threat posed by powerful clans.
"You mean the influence of powerful families on imperial power, like in ancient times, still exists?" Fu Qingyao instantly realized something was wrong.
If the official Babel Tower is partially sidelined and partially influenced by powerful families, then this assessment is likely to end badly!
For established families to grow in size, expanding their branch bases is the only way.
Because expanding branch bases means expanding influence, integrating all resources such as popular support, resources, territory, and support, developing branch bases is the best way to dominate and eliminate the official discourse of the Tower of Babel.
But how could a noble family be willing to accept such a good thing falling on the head of an ant like Zheng Ya?
How could they not stop and plunder?
After all, the official decision of the Tower of Babel was to establish a branch base in the star field encompassing the three planets, and that decision is final and will not be changed.
Even if they wanted to change, the powerful families wouldn't allow it.
Because it involves investment interests, it's impossible to establish a branch base without any investment. It consumes a lot of human and material resources, especially since it's related to evil forces and involves many aspects of the problem. Therefore, once a decision is made, it will not be changed.
The unchanging branch bases have become highly sought-after.
If they could take his place, the aristocratic families could advance further. How could they possibly tolerate Zheng Ya monopolizing this honor and becoming a stumbling block to their progress?
If it involves branch bases within the official structure of the Tower of Babel, the situation becomes even more complex and dangerous.
Wu Wei is a representative of aristocratic families.
The fact that the assassination of Zheng Ya has been exposed demonstrates the attitude and stance of the aristocratic families.
The declaration of war is now a fait accompli.
Xu Qi said in surprise, "How is this possible?"
Times are changing, how could they possibly continue with the old ways of aristocratic families...?
"Alright, we cannot assume that advanced thinking is the only sign of a modern, powerful nation, simply because of science, technology, weapons, and all sorts of equipment."
Building on past achievements and forging ahead into the future, we must be bold in innovation.
This now appears to be wrong, or rather, a misconception.
Because when one cultivates supernatural abilities to a certain level, even the heavens and the earth are nothing in the face of such overwhelming power. Any technology is nothing in the face of such power.
Technology and scientific products are merely tools for superhumans to enjoy life.
Strength is everything, and that is the only true path to power.
Since the rule of the king is determined by strength, the aristocratic families objectively exist.
On the other hand, if I had the power to dominate all the heavens and myriad realms, wouldn't it be only natural and logical for me to bestow blessings upon my descendants and rule all the heavens and myriad realms?
However, the more powerful families there are, the more competition and conflicts arise. Even if the Tower of Babel is established to restrain and regulate them, the conflicts will still exist. There is only one way to eliminate the constraints on the powerful families' actions and ambitions: to rule over the Tower of Babel.
Therefore, all sectors involved, such as public support and resource allocation, need to develop branch bases to expand and increase capacity, satisfying the desire for unbridled ambition.
"Is this the kind of extraordinary assessment we're about to face?" Zheng Ya suddenly realized that he was just a tool.
A pawn put out by certain individuals and powerful families in a game of strategy.
Zheng Ya, representing the possibly weaker aristocratic family, or perhaps the fair and just free individuals, will face off against the Wuwei aristocratic family.
This war is far more dangerous than fighting against evil.
"Ring ring!" A call came in from the Four Continents.
The telegram personally sent by Daiyu, scanned and verified by the science and technology network, suggests the discovery of a source of malevolent energy among humans and demons across the Four Continents.
The telegram was concise and easy to understand, and could not be described in detail.
Before interstellar beacons are ubiquitous in space, the ScienceNetwork will consume a great deal of spacetime energy to transmit such messages, and will not be able to support the release of long messages for the time being.
However, this predicament is improving.
The Zheng family fell silent, each analyzing in their hearts whether Wu Wei was behind the evil energy source.
"Ring ring!" A call came from Blue Star, and Li Yunlong personally made the announcement.
A comprehensive network screening has uncovered 178 suspicious energy sources, involving more than 36,000 people and animals, which are currently being analyzed!
This is another bombshell.
The explosion left the Zheng family members in a state of mental confusion, unsure of what to say.
The key issue is that they are too far apart. With the spaceship's energy depleted, it lost its ability to travel through time and space, making it unrealistic to rush back to investigate.
With a worried expression, Zheng Ya waved his hand and sent out nine robots to mine on the black giant star, hoping to obtain the energy source where Wu Wei's double was placed on the star core as soon as possible, so that they could drive the interstellar spaceship to rescue the three planets.
Comparatively speaking, Earth's technological transformation to Matrix technology came too late, and it has not yet achieved the level of Matrix network coverage. The telegrams sent are simpler, and we are currently investigating them.
The four-character telegram instilled even greater anxiety and pressure.
This is tantamount to losing the ability to discern, making it easy for Wu Wei to exploit loopholes.
And wasn't the "luring the tiger away from the mountain" technique mentioned by Wu Wei's double on her deathbed precisely about luring Zheng Ya away from Earth?
Fu Qingyao took a few deep breaths to calm her turbulent emotions before saying, "Our top priority is to stabilize the situation and, while gathering as many resources as possible, provide technical guidance to the three planets!"
"Well, that's all we can do. Let's take it one step at a time." Zheng Ya didn't have a good solution to the current predicament either.
As for identifying Wu Wei's hiding place, that's a matter for later!
Xu Qi suddenly asked, "Since we suspect that the powerful families are behind this, which of the three planets will they choose to attack from?"
