Chapter 56: The Responses of Various Countries and the Surveillance of Zheng Li
Zheng Li was working in the R&D center in Lion City as usual, but he could sense that he had been targeted by at least three gangs recently.
Among them, the cleaning staff who came to clean the Lion City R&D Center smelled like agents, but they could not hide it from the researchers at the R&D Center, but not from him.
Zheng Li could sense with his senses that these cleaners were observing his every move with very subtle eyes.
The seventeenth floor is his exclusive laboratory, and no one is usually allowed in. Zheng Li lives on the eighteenth floor.
But 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 touched.
Traces of fingerprints on the computer have been completely erased.
After the existence of the soul was confirmed, agents from all over the world wanted to find out who Merlin was like a mad dog.
After it was also confirmed that will affects reality, the degree of madness in various countries has reached a higher level.
Zheng Li's real body in Kuala Lumpur invaded the Amerikan CIA server through the biological cloud, and learned that he was the first on the suspect list.
No wonder the Chinese ambassador in the Lion City came to visit him yesterday and told him to return to China as soon as possible. He also implicitly stated that if he were Merlin, the country would protect him and would never do anything to infringe on his personal rights.
I just said it very euphemistically. What I said was that please believe in the credibility and strength of the country. China has always believed in the principles of equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.
Zheng Li did not reveal any flaws. He just said that his research and development progress in the Lion City was considerable and he would return to Suzhou after the research and development of brain-computer connection achieved certain results.
The writing logic and language style of Zheng Li's papers written as Mei Lin are completely different from those he published in Blue Star academic journals.
Language experts can tell that the papers he published in Blue Star journals have British English and American English usage.
Merlin's paper is pure British English, the most authentic British English, and the usage of some sentences in it can be traced back to classical English in Shakespeare's time.
Therefore, even if Zheng Li was suspected, he was not directly arrested because he had no obvious flaws.
Whether it is brain-computer connection or endorphins, although this is unbelievable, it all falls within the scope of logic that can be explained.
Now the institutions of various countries are just staring at him, and there are also factors that restrict each other.
Zheng Li sighed, fortunately he was cautious enough, otherwise he might not be able to keep this vest.
He regretted taking out the brain-computer connection. If it was just endorphins, he would be under suspicion.
Because of Merlin's British English in the paper, scientists in England were also suspected, especially those who had studied at an old school like Eton College.
Because of classical English, only schools that claim to be traditional like Eton College will teach students this.
Musk is also a key target of suspicion due to his legendary experience and outstanding insights in technology.
All Zheng Li can do is hide his true identity. If he is kidnapped by agents or agencies, he doesn't want to lose this identity, let alone expose himself.

“The U.S. stock market continues to plummet. Following the sharp decline the day before yesterday and the slight decline yesterday, the U.S. stock market suddenly fell 500 points at the opening of the morning today.
After the opening of the U.S. stock market, the three major indexes collectively opened sharply lower, and then fell all the way down as of 9:50. The Nasdaq index fell 274 points, a drop of more than 1.7%.
The Dow Jones Index fell more than 500 points, a drop of more than 1.3 points, and the S&P 500 Index fell 1.4%."
"Among them, large technology 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 fell collectively, Moderna fell nearly 10%, Pfizer fell 2%, BioNTech fell 12%..."
"European stock markets also opened lower collectively and then continued to decline. So far, the Deutsche DAX index has fallen by more than 1%, the French CAC index has fallen by nearly 1%, and only England's FTSE index has narrowed its decline to 0.1%."
"U.S. stocks continued to plummet today after opening lower in the previous two days, followed by a sell-off in the U.S. bond market. Although the short-term yields of U.S. bonds continued to rise, U.S. bonds continued to sell off."
"Following this, precious metals such as gold and cryptocurrencies such as BTC have been rising all the way. The gold EX index has exceeded the previous high of 1985.2 points..."
During lunch time in Hawaii, Luo Shu listened to a short piece of financial information while eating in his apartment as usual.
He is quite smart in investment. After he was arrested by the FBI that day, he read Magi's paper carefully when he returned home.
Luo Shu didn't know why magi could still be seen, but couldn't find any relevant information on Google.
He speculated that Merlin's thesis was true, so the government was facing a formidable enemy.
After making his judgment, Luo Shu did not hesitate and directly sold all the U.S. stocks he held the next day, and then exchanged them for gold futures.
His judgment was that Merlin was either an alien or a Blue Star man who mastered alien technology, but no matter what, Merlin had a huge impact on the world economy.
The phenomena and theories mentioned in Merlin's paper are completely different from the Blue Star scientific system.
If Merlin's thesis is true, it means that Blue Star will have a completely different technological system than before. Then the technological advantages of Europe and the United States have not been maintained for long, and there are even no advantages at all in many aspects.
The stock markets in Europe and the United States will definitely plummet. They have been using technology to enjoy high value-added industries. What about the future?
The stock market jumped ahead of schedule. Merlin's existence is a secret to the bottom, but not a secret to the top. Magi cannot block it. Sooner or later, everyone will know of Merlin's existence.
The sharp fall in European and American stock markets and U.S. 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 market also proves this point.
It only fell slightly at first, then it fell sharply, and then it fell slightly again and even narrowed at the close.
As a result, there was another big drop today.
Luo Shu made a fortune in the financial market, but he was not excited at all.
Because after knowing the existence of Merlin and reading those three papers, his mind was filled with questions.
From the existence form of the soul to the underlying logic of consciousness affecting reality, from who Merlin is to how Blue Star will develop in the future.
A series of questions continued to ferment in his head, and he logged on to Magi every half an hour to look at them.
But Merlin seemed to have disappeared after publishing those three articles. Only the radio signals that Pluto continued to send to Blue Star and the content on Magi could prove that this really happened.
Luo Shu wanted to tell these things to his Chinese roommate, but he remembered that he had signed a confidentiality agreement and did not dare to disclose it.
