The night is already deep, and it is already past twenty-three o'clock in the evening.

However, in the PDC headquarters building on Verne Island, the lights in many offices were still on, including the secretary-general's office, which was still brightly lit.

Obviously, the secretary-general, Mr. Say, is still working overtime voluntarily at this time.

Outside the huge, airtight floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a dark and boundless sea. Although the sea breeze from outside cannot blow in at all, the air filtration and environment simulation system still simulates the size of the sea breeze from outside, allowing the breeze to gently blow through the office.

The curtains inside the office let the two curtains made of light gauze swing gently in the wind, adding a bit of poetry out of thin air.

At this time, the two people in the office had no time to care about that.

"..."

Garnin, the rotating chairman of the PDC Planetary Defense Council, was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the Secretary-General's office, with his hands behind his back. After looking at the night view for a while, he turned around and walked back boredly.

However, he was not in a hurry to sit down, but kept pacing back and forth in the office. His face was full of complex emotions and unyielding sadness, and his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Open, sometimes his eyes flicker, and he doesn’t know exactly what he is thinking about or what is bothering him.

But there is no doubt that he must have something on his mind, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

"..."

As for the owner of this office, Secretary-General Nasai, she is sitting behind her large desk, slowly and quietly reading through the thick pile of emergency documents and documents in front of her.

Report.

She did not pay attention to Gal Ning's abnormal behavior. She just signed her name quickly and forcefully on every document that required her to read and sign with her hand holding the pen, and occasionally looked up at Gal Ning.

Ning glanced at her a few times, but she didn't say much from beginning to end.

She knew why the other party was so irritable. Was it because of the key action taken by Dr. Ding Yi and the others today?

The PDC headquarters has dispatched a team of Earth's top scientists headed by Dr. Ding Yi in the afternoon and arrived at Wallfacer Annie's residence. The original plan was to stay with Annie for a while until the 'Mass Effect' was given to

Learn how to get started and then leave, but how could you imagine...

Just a few hours ago, they learned that it was said that Wallfacer Annie, that little alien from the alien world, suddenly opened a portal and teleported those scientists to who knows where?

In this regard, Garnin was naturally very worried after learning what happened, and came to discuss it with her immediately.

After all, that scientific research team can already be said to be the PDC, or even the top team that humans on earth can currently produce. Once those scientists have any problems, it will be a disaster for the earth and humans on earth.

Is it an extremely huge loss, especially at this critical moment when they are already very difficult to fight against the Trisolaran civilization and are at an absolute disadvantage?

But Say himself had a different view on Garnin's concerns.

She felt that now they on Earth actually had no choice. They had no choice but to unconditionally trust Annie, the alien wall-facer.

Furthermore, as she had said before, she believed that the situation on Earth and the people on Earth was already very bad, and it would not get worse no matter what. Therefore, she had just advised Garning not to think too much.

, and don’t bother yourself. Since you have chosen to believe it completely, just continue to maintain your trust and wait patiently for the results.

Just like she is now, although she is very anxious, hesitant and helpless in her heart, at least she knows that it is useless no matter how much she thinks about it. It is better to calm down and deal with more official duties, and then wait silently for the time.

That's it, even though she may not be as calm and composed in her heart as she appears on the surface?

"Secretary-General!"

"I really don't know if our original choice was correct..."

"This is crazy!"

Finally, after pacing for an unknown number of times, Garning suddenly stopped and looked directly at Secretary-General Sai sitting behind his desk, with an unconcealable anxiety and irritability in his voice:

"She is just a little girl after all, and she is also an alien..."

"She is really capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility and can she really help us?"

"If she messes around, those top scientists are our earth's most valuable assets right now!"

"just in case……"

Whatever happened, Garnin did not continue, but walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window again with some annoyance, and then looked angrily at the night view of the city and the dark endless sea outside the window, with some hesitation on his face.

, but I don’t know where to start.

"Okay."

"Please be patient."

Hearing this, Sai had no choice but to slowly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at the other party with gentle eyes, and sighed softly:

"I understand your concerns, but please believe that we are already doing our best to do our best."

"Even if something goes wrong, it's not your responsibility alone."

"Besides..."

"You should also remember that the Wallfacers' plan has been stated from the very beginning. Their actions are highly confidential and unpredictable."

"Although the situation has changed now, after the neutron jammer came out, the wall-facing plan seems to have become a bit useless..."

"But no matter what, since we have chosen Anne, we must give her enough trust and support. Besides, as you know, our current situation has not changed much from before. There is no room for any hesitation and

Suspicious."

"Now that the bet has been placed on the table, all we have to do is buy it and leave."

"If we win, our earth and the people on earth can have a future; if we lose, it will just maintain the status quo?"

After saying that, looking at Garnin who turned around and his expression didn't improve much, and looking at the irritability and nervousness in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, Secretary-General Sai just shook his head expressionlessly, and then continued

She lowered her head and started reviewing her documents.

She didn't want to worry about waiting and complaining like the other party. After all, since she chose to work overtime tonight and wait for news, then while waiting for the news, she should first handle some of tomorrow's work. In that case, she might

Could be a little more relaxed.

"cough--"

"You are right, I understand too!"

"But……"

Garning sighed again, thought for a moment, and began to pace again in annoyance.

"I……"

"Let's put it this way, whenever I think about those scientists and the dangers Dr. Ding Yi and the others may face, my heart aches."

"They can be said to be our earth's last and most precious treasure!"

"As you know, we have recently received letters of complaint against that little wall-facer and the fermenting public opinions on the Internet. Sometimes when I look at them, even I can't help but doubt. If she really

She has ulterior motives, if they are harmed by her or thrown into a corner of the universe..."

"They should have been in the laboratory, using their wisdom and knowledge to create a future for us humans on Earth, instead of being drawn into this unknown vortex."

"If something like that really happens..."

"I also know that that kind of suspicion is unreasonable, but she didn't say anything, and instead of teaching according to the original plan, she directly stuffed everyone into a portal, and said that there are only a few hours outside, and there are

several years……"

"Can I not think too much about that kind of thing?"

As he talked, Garnin finally stopped pacing, and instead walked back to the chair in front of Secretary-General Sai's desk in a dull voice, sat down sideways with a dark face, and let him go directly.

His considerable weight made the chair creak.

"..."

Sighing softly in his heart, Sai, who was just about to continue correcting the documents, raised his head with a smile, wearing a smile that was both understanding and slightly helpless.

"Garning..."

"Sometimes, fate is so cruel and unfair."

"Trust always needs to pay a price, and someone needs to meet the challenge, even death..."

Continuing to shake her head, Secretary-General Sai expressed her thoughts and tried her best to comfort the somewhat irritable Garnin.

"Besides, things should be resolved soon. It's useless for you to be anxious."

"My gut tells me she won't let us down."

"Think about it, what can aliens with that kind of technology and ability do for us? Do they need to conspire against our earth?"

Yes!

In her opinion, an alien and its civilization that self-reports its identity and possesses advanced technology and can open the kind of portal that only appears in the science fiction imagination of humans on earth, its technology is undoubtedly countless times more powerful than the Trisolaran civilization.

, and since even the Trisolaran civilization regards their earthlings as bugs, how does the other side view their earthlings?

Anyway, Sai really couldn't imagine what that little girl Annie wanted about their earth and its people. In her opinion, it was a great blessing that the other party was willing to help their earth and its people.

Who has the right to doubt the other party?

"..."

Hearing what Secretary-General Sai said, Garning raised his head, and after a moment of reflection, he continued with some annoyance:

"I hope so!"
To be continued...
