The news of the fourth Wallfacer, spread rapidly through the world's news and radio broadcasts.
And similarly, there was also Emrys' 'declaration'.
The content of his declaration was truly uninspired and not particularly brilliant; in fact, compared to the three senior Wallfacers, it could be described as very mediocre.
The entire declaration was filled with rhetoric about how, for humanity, they must unite. Such a declaration naturally sparked resistance among some groups around the world who adhered to the concept of 'peaceful' coexistence.
These people believed that xenos and humans should be equal and friendly, and they thought Emrys' words were deliberately inciting war and hatred. Many even bestowed upon Emrys the title of 'the second Luo Ji'.
Of course, Emrys couldn't hear these comments for now, but even if he did, he would most likely just laugh it off.
The second Luo Ji?
Wrong, completely wrong!
One can only say that humanity's imagination in the 2K era was still too weak. The things he wanted to do—ten, a hundred, even ten thousand Luo Jis—couldn't compare!
Humanity would not be grateful to Luo Ji.
Similarly, humanity would also hate Emrys!
He would become the most terrifying tyrant since the birth of human history, dragging two civilizations into the abyss.
But, humanity's descendants would be grateful to him!
Emrys was absolutely convinced.
"Mr. Emrys, your statements—"
After the live broadcast was cut, UN Secretary-General Sai came forward and asked with some concern, "Are they perhaps too extreme? Even if we should harbor the greatest malice towards the Trisolaran civilization, if it's proclaimed in public, it could easily lead to unimaginable consequences."
This, given the current volatile international situation and the approaching Trisolaran fleet, truly—did not align with considerations for current social stability!
In fact, before Emrys took the stage, Sai had already read his speech draft and had clearly expressed the problems with it at the time.
Moreover, the UN had plenty of clerks who could write speeches for him, but he rejected them all, insisting on using his own manuscript.
Sai didn't understand why.
Was the fourth Wallfacer merely proclaiming some sort of racial theory, sowing concepts of hatred?
Looking at the UN Secretary-General's puzzled eyes, Emrys placed his index finger on his lips.
"Secretary-General Sai, this is part of the plan."
""
Sai twitched her lips.
Alright, alright, so the 'deception' begins now, does it?
Emrys was in a pleasant mood, even humming a tune, greatly praising 'Old Liu' in his heart. He had to admit, this reason for being a Wallfacer was simply too useful!
In the past, he would have needed to fabricate reasons to hide his true thoughts, but now he didn't need to!
When others questioned him, he just needed to tell them, 'This is part of the plan,' and then the doubters would figure it out themselves. Isn't that great?!
"Mr. Emrys, I'm glad you've entered into work so quickly." Sai was helpless; although she was the UN Secretary-General,
she had no right to question matters concerning the Wallfacers.
"My work is done. I hope you can lead humanity and fulfill the duties of a Wallfacer."
"I will."
Emrys smiled and nodded.
Sai looked at him, feeling very puzzled.
He looked very young, with an extraordinary demeanor, his eyes always holding a gentle warmth, like a calm ocean. His voice always made people feel comfortable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as refined and scholarly.
But was such a person truly suitable to become a Wallfacer, bearing the fate of humanity?
Following Luo Ji's assassination, the birth of the fourth Wallfacer, to some extent, appeased the chaotic public sentiment.
However, very few people knew the hidden truth behind it.
Coincidentally, UN Secretary-General Sai was one of those who knew the reason, and it was precisely for this reason that she was confused by Emrys' succession.
In fact, when Luo Ji was assassinated, seriously injured, fell into a coma, and was diagnosed as a vegetative state, the UN Planetary Defense Council had already held intense discussions based on this incident.
The content of the discussion was whether it was necessary to continue electing a fourth Wallfacer.
Among the five chairpersons of the Council, four believed that humanity currently did not need a fourth Wallfacer, or rather—reducing one Wallfacer would free up more resources for the remaining three Wallfacers to use.
Instead of casually picking another one and diluting existing war resources, it would be better to concentrate everything and place hope on the other three. This might be more in line with the current situation, after all, Luo Ji was special.
Among the seven billion people in the entire world, only Luo Ji, without his knowledge, was specifically targeted by the ETO organization!
Although the UN Planetary Defense Council was also unclear about the reasons behind this, since the ETO organization was willing to eliminate him at all costs, they were naturally willing to gamble on this hope.
This was also the reason why the Council chose Luo Ji, an unknown, even insignificant person, to become the fourth Wallfacer.
So—what about him?
Sai scrutinized Emrys deeply. How could a person with such a gentle and kind temperament, like a nobleman or a scholar, become a 'Wallfacer'?
She only knew that the reason Emrys became a Wallfacer was due to a supreme directive issued by the Council, and the resources he could mobilize were completely different from other Wallfacers.
The resources that other Wallfacers could mobilize actually had an invisible upper limit, which was also a restriction to prevent them from satisfying their personal desires.
But, Sai knew that the war resources Emrys could mobilize were unlimited!
It could even be said that—
Currently, within human society, the most powerful person was this young man before her; he commanded an unimaginably vast amount of resources!
Had the Council gone mad?
No, Sai shook her head imperceptibly, dismissing that idea. The Council wouldn't go mad, so there could only be one reason.
Emrys' plan could save humanity!
Just as she was thinking, she saw Emrys walk out of the UN assembly hall. Sai remembered the fate of the previous Wallfacer and couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Emrys, you are already a Wallfacer. I suggest you wait until the security outside is fully prepared before going out."
"There's no need for that."
Emrys didn't stop, pushed open the door, and stepped out of the UN without hesitation.
"If you ask why—it's simple, only the weak hide themselves, while the strong have nothing to fear!"
"?"
Sai's eyelids twitched wildly.
What the heck?
The fourth Wallfacer is a chuunibyou mental patient?!
However, just as she was thinking this, she heard an earth-shattering explosion from outside the door. The terrifying shockwave even directly rushed into the UN!
Boom!!!
"Oh no!"
Sai's heart skipped a beat.
Knocked down by the shockwave, she didn't care about herself anymore, scrambling and crawling outside, frantically praying in her heart that nothing bad had happened!
Otherwise, she would be labeled as an ETO spy!
